Kimchi Bambie Blue Circle Lens Review

Herrooo~

Tonight I shall be reviewing a pair of lenses Ive had for about a month now. They're, as you probably read from the title, the kimchi bambi blues. I bought these from LensVillage along with the Kimchi Bambie Greys and DollyEye Greys (I'l get to those later).


The Store Itself

★★★★★/5

Their online shop is easy to navigate and they have a wide variety of choices. Not to mention they have very decent prices and give you free standard shipping with orders over $50 and free expedited shipping on orders over $80. I've ordered from them before with standard shipping and for some reason it took about a month and a half for them to get to me. I'm unsure if that was just a bad time for things to be shipped to the States or standard shipping really does take that long. My friends tell me it only usually takes 2-3 weeks for standard.

~The Lenses~


Color: ★★★★★/5

Enlarging: ★★★★★/5

Comfort: ★★★★/5

These lenses cost $19 (without shipping and tax) which is AMAZINGLY cheap to me lol. I bought these because they looked similar to the Princess Mimi/Bambi lenses but cheaper. The color is very vibrant especially in flash and in webcam photos (They can look like the kimchi greys in flash). In regular sunlight they are still vibrant also. These lenses stick to my eyeballs very well and don't move around but my only problem is that, due to my eyes being kind of on the dry side, I get blurred vision when I blink because my eyes are drying out the lenses as well. The diameter is 15mm but have an effect of 16mm due to the dark ring around the outside and have a water content of 55%.

Alright! This was relatively short but hopefully informative lol. And here's a picture of my makeup for today just because. Have a good night/day!

It's-a Comin'!

Well, I just got three new pair or lenses a few days ago and I will be doing a review on them (on this blog, not a video) AND preparing for my gal meet this weekend along with my first solo belly dance performance!!!!! AAAAAAAAHHHHH!! So many things so little time! And yes, I am quite happy about the outcome of the election (I'll leave it at that because I don't want any of that tension on here. Save it for Tumblr guys). So yes, be looking forward to that tomorrow!!

In The Spirit of Halloween!

For Halloween I had planned on doing a scary face painting with pointy teeth like Mileena from Mortal Kombat while wearing one of my lolita dresses but alas...I didn't realize that I needed latex glue *sigh* so instead I just did Sugarskull. This was the first time I messed with face paint and I'm quite surprised that I didn't feel nauseous like I usually do (I get nauseous really really REALLY easily like, it's super ridiculous).

I walked in on my little brother in the living room and he freaked out xDD Then we took pictures to post on his Facebook.

And right now my area is feeling the backlash of Sandy the hurricane and we've got some pretty heavy winds blowing with little rain. So what I shall be doing, since my school is closed, is studying for upcoming tests and preparing for Samhain. Also, I've been thinking of ways to make my blog more interesting. You must agree that I don't post very interesting things like other blogs that post OOTD or reviews or exciting outings. I will try and work on that to better entertain you all and myself (lol). By the way, if any of you know how to work with CSS or coding for blogging I'd be sooooooo happy if you would help me out I want to custom my blog to be beautiful but since I don't know coding it's quite difficult.

Stay safe my sweets~ <3

Post About Stuff

Hi-ho!
I figured I'd post pictures about new things I have. Ive gotten a new belly dance outfit that I intend on using as a gypsy costume for Halloween and possibly a dance event if it ever shows up. I also got a veil, a gold coin belt (not a coin sash/hip scarf), gold coin anklet, a olive green tribal style gypsy skirt, a necklace, bracelet, belt, phone case, and phone charms. I also got a pair of knock-off uggs but they hurt my feet so I won't be wearing them. I need to get more boots...

I've also started saving up for my first tattoo which I want to be a gypsy doing sugar skull. Dunno if you've noticed, but I'm in love with gypsy stuff particularly Russian gypsies lol I'll put a picture of what I want as a tattoo and my current nails.

Anyway, here are pictures. This was a relatively short post lol.

Random Lol

So I just bought two creams for my face. One is to get rid of under eye puffiness and the oher is a fading cream. The Eye Fade cream is by Dagget & Ramsdell and I'm assuming the Facial Fade Skin Lightening Cream is by the same company even though the jar doesn't have a company label on it...very strange.

I bought these in the CVS store for $6. I have seen a difference in my skin with the Facial Fade and I've only used it about 5-6 times once a day right before I go to bed. I don't have really really dark acne marks all over my face, but I do have three groups of medium-dark acne scars right under my cheeks and on my chin. I can already see them lightening up and starting to fade but I also am noticing 1-2 pimples popping up near the areas that I apply the cream so I need to start getting into a routine of cleaning my face and putting on acne preventive meds again...or my monster's about to show up...*shrug* either way it's not breaking me out bad lol. So would I recommend this product? Uh...der. It starts working quickly and effectively! The only downside I have is that they don't have directions for it on the jar, only the box.

Now, onto the Eye Fade Cream...I can't say I'm seeing any results from this product just yet.If I remember correctly, on the box it said you should begin seeing results in 3 months and if not then discontinue using the product. So...if I read that right, then this products takes a while to work. That being said, I can't really give a review of it until I use it for an extended period of time. Hopefully I remember to review it later.

OTHER NEWS

* Me and Miyabi are hosting a Gal me2 (meet) at the convention Anime USA in Washington, D.C if any of you readers/followers are in the area. We plan on just going to lunch just in case some of you guys aren't going to the convention.

*I have joined my university's belly dance troupe! WOOO! So now I'll be more busy with practice and trying to not let online assignments sneak in and drop my grades down ;_; Like they already are

I did my nails like three days ago but my thumb nails, left index finger, and left pinky finger nail popped off and the design sucked so I fixed them tonight and this is what they look like right now

Also, I've been really really lazy with dressing up because I'm finding myself not liking my clothes. My mind is it "cool weather mode" so it wants to put on tights/leggings and mini skirts and boots, but it's not that cold yet ;_; So I've just been doing my makeup with whatever I wear and my hair is disappointing me as well *sigh* my skills are dwindling...so sad...

Small Update

Hay hay hay~

Just a small post about what's been happenin' (like something spectacular happened this past week lol). Well I had a birthday last Sunday on the 9th so I am now 21 :D Go me!! Still waiting on my nail stuff to arrive...well most of it. I got my 500 nail tips, my wig, and the sticker strips so now all that's missing is the glitter, the nail cutter, and brushes. I'm thinking of trying to make acryic sets instead of press-ons.but that requires so much work D: but they also don't just pop off when I'm doing things (like opening a door) so I'll try it. Also, the wig I got is actually straight silver, not dark grey or ash blonde/gray so I was a little thrown by that. So I customized it and found out that it sheds a hella lot -_____- so I have to be real careful with it. That and it handles well in heat, you just can't curl it with a curling iron. You can flat iron it if you're trying to get curls out, but to put the curls back in you have to use the rollers and boiling water method.

Wig before *serious* customization:

(I put lavender strips in the bang. I look like a AV gal in this picture xD at least I think so)
Picture of the *serious* customized wig:
(Here I curled it with rollers and added brown and whitish-blonde highlights)

ALSO! You may have noticed I have a banner now >:3 I just got photoshop and I'm messing around with it to make a banner. That's not gonna be the official one cuz...Meet Me In The Pink Room sounds kind of dumb. So whenever I get a good title going I'll remake one and hopefully learn how to make my blog more KICKASS!!!!

That's all for updates, enjoy your day loves~ <3

Something Most Girls Worry About

Weight. Yep, I'm worrying about my weight lol. I know some of you get tired of seeing girls talk about or complain about their size, but I won't be complaining...at least not on here. I just wanted to let you know that I'm in the process of losing weight! I've already dropped 10 Ilbs and I plan to lose some more. I'm not sure how much I want to lose because I'm not entirely sure what size would look good for me :/ I'd like to keep my ass (or at least get it mo' bubbly! I love nicely shaped butts xD) at the size it is just shape it up but my tummy, thighs, and arms gotta go -_-. I just need to remember to not give into fast food, which is pretty damn hard cuz I'm SURROUNDED BY IT! I mean, I just started University and during my break I always sit in the dining area and sometimes it's just hard T^T but I usually don't have money to give into my cravings anyway so this is the first time I can say I'm glad I'm broke.

In case you're wondering, I'm currently sitting at 189 and I'm 5 foot 9 inches. Yeah, that doens't sound bad but it doesn't look good all the time. I also need to be cautious of my weight because all of my family on my dad's side (minus my dad and one aunt and a few cousins and my sisters) is obese. If they aren't shaped like Lumpy Space Princess then they're shaped like very bottom heavy pears. The family on my mom's side are skinny with no shape minus their big boobs. Yeah...my genes are like, "WTF DO WE DOOOOOOOOOO?!?!?!?!?" So I'm really trying not to become too big or too skinny.

Along with my plan to lose weight, which includes exercising and dieting, I also plan on doing some corset training :3. From what I've researched, corset training is like getting the gastric band on your stomach except less costly and with no surgery. It puts pressure on your stomach so it feels fuller faster and also makes your waist tinier to give a better curvier shape. In case you're wondering, no I'm not trying to go to some drastic size like that lady with the smallest waist in history. Just a few inches. There's actually a girl I'm friends with on Facebook who uses corsets and I like the way it looks on her. Her name's Jazmin (not Sullivan, I don't even think I know her last name lol) but she goes by Lola Von on FB if you want to look for her and has a Model Mayhem account.


(I don't own this picture in any way, just so ya'll know)

LOOK AT THAT SHIT!!!! I swear just looking at her pictures motivates me to lose weight lol I just love the way her waist is...so well-shaped and just...perfect!

Yeah so...I just wanted to share that with you all. Be looking out for updates and hopefully more pictures <3 And to you all also trying to get in shape don't give up hope! Stay motivated and trying not to give it, get someone to help you out if you need it. Or at the very least avoid fast food and soda and drink lots of water lol

I'm Feeling Adventurous...

So last night I decided to do something I haven't done before...

I bought stuff to do nails!! on eBay, of course lol gotta love eBay.

I bought:

-3000pcs. 1.5mm rhinestones in 12 colors

-15pcs. pink nail art brush set

-Metal glitter dusk in 24 colors

-Nail clippers

-20pcs. striping tape

-500 clear nail tips (not stiletto ones lol)

-Hexagon glitter in 18 colors

I also bought a wig that I thought was the perfect color for Rokku/kuronba/96gal,I want to call it ash blonde but it's listed as dark grey :/ It's a cosplay wig that i plan on cutting and styling. It says it's heat-resistant but we'll see...I need to buy more hair pieces to work with. Anyway, all of this cost me under $45 (most of that was for the wig which was $25) and I paid nothing for shipping ;3; I tell ya, eBay is the best store on the planet. I dunno what I'd do without it.

Also, I was accepted in the [Black Diamond] Gal Unit International (or BDiaIn't) :D that means I really need to step up my game and not just focus on makeup. I need to better my coords and hair and even nails! This is a such a great opportunity and I feel so grateful that I was chosen ^^



Thank you for reading, and I hope you enjoy the new layout. I'm trying to make a banner and make a better layout but I lack photoshop so my skills are severely limited T^T

Review: 3-Way Lash Lining Tool

Helloooooo! Long time no see, eh?

Yes, It's been about two weeks since my last post, but that's mainly because I had no idea what to post about lol. Nothing exciting has happened and I haven't bought anything new. But this past Saturday was my one year anniversary with my boyfriend of one year, Eric <3. This is the first relationship I've been in and I'm super lucky to have it turn out to be so awesome the first time :D I love him so much.

One of my anniversary gifts was this Two Faced 3-Way Lash Lining Pen that I spotted in Sephora one day. I saw it and thought, "Wow! This pen seems like it would be great for drawing bottom lashes!" The pen cost $22 in both the store and online.

So I tried it out and, me being the ultimate pro at drawing lashes [not], I found it helpful. I think it looks better when you draw Cocona/Serina type bottom lashes since it has three tips. It doesn't say that this eyeliner is waterproof and it does wipe off easily. It says it can also be used to apply dots along the top lash line to give the appearance of a thicker lash line, which frankly I didn't see that effect, probably because I lack my own set of noticeable natural lashes so that effect is useless to me lol.

This was a short review, but it's not too much to this pen. Here's some pictures of example lashes I drew. Keep in mind, I AM A BEGINNER AT DRAWING THESE so excuse my ugly penmenship lol.

And here's a picture I took some days ago when I was trying a new way to apply bottom lashes to change the shape of my eye.

Hope you enjoyed and found it helpful~ <3

Circle Lens Review and New Eyelashes

Ello thea!

I am finally back home! Woo :DDDD !!!! So I came home to find my new bottom lashes arrived along with the top lashes. While I was out of town I checked the tracking for my lenses that I ordered from LensVillage. They had been delivered to my house on the 7th of August but since no one was home to sign for it I had them redeliver it today (August 14th). So since I have no idea what time the mailman delivers things (I personally think they should put an expected time of delivery) I woke up at 7 this morning and waited until damn near noon so I wouldn't sleep through the doorbell and have to wait until tomorrow to go to the post office to get them.Also, my only complaint with buying from LensVillage is that their tracking is pretty much useless (in my case it was). It didn't update to tell me where my package was until it was delivered to my house almost a month after I ordered them.

I'll start off with the eyelashes. I ordered them off of EBay from two separate sellers. I got them with the original purpose of using them for Oneegyaru makeup, but as of lately I've been more drawn to 96gal/kuronba/rokku style. So I'll be trying to work them into that style.


Anyway, Here's what they look like:

I bought the top lashes from here and the bottom lashes from here.

And here's some pictures with me wearing them~:


As you can see, the top lashes are very natural looking and not very long (and also, sorry about the crappy quality >_>)


The side view


The bottom lashes are very noticeable, but still natural looking. It looks better to wear these lashes with minimal eyeliner and non-heavy make up styles.

And on to the lenses. Both the lenses are made by I. Fairy with a base curve of 8.6 and a diameter of 16.2mm (the diameter is stated both on the website and the vial. Both are 55% water so they help your eyes "breath". I took a comparison picture of the Lucius Greys side-by-side in my hand so you all can see the size, design, and color difference when it's compared to the Princess Mimi/Bambi Sesame Greys *diameter of 15mm*.


Here we have one eye with the lens and one without


The sesame greys are in my right(your left) eye and the lucius greys are in my left (your right)

As you can see the Lucius Greys are slightly bigger but the limbal ring isn't as thick as the Sesame Greys so it's probably not going to enlarge your eye as much. The color is a much more opaque and cooler looking grey than the Mimi lenses. Also there isn't another color like brown to help blend them into your natural eye, it's all grey with black lines extending from the limbal ring. I didn't have that one lens in my eye for long, but it was the first one I tried and, not gonna lie, it felt like something was in there lol. I guess I just need to wear them longer so my eye can get used to the freakin' size. Also, with both of these lenses, I get a halo effect! I've never had a halo effect from a lens before cuz my eye is big but I'm so excited cuz I have lenses that give me the halo effect!!!

Now for the Kirei Browns! They have a very similar pattern to the EOS Dolly Eyes *diamete of 14.2mm* except the pupil hole is bigger and so is the diameter. [add more info]I can already tell these are gonna be a favorite of mine >:3 I love how catty these lenses are! They are comfortable to wear, but do dry out quickly on my eye but that's cuz my eyes are pretty dry on their own lol.

P.S, the lenses were taken in bathroom lighting, it's dark out now so I can't get the sunlight versions until tomorrow, hopefully I'll remember to do that and update this post. But anyway, I hope you all enjoyed the review and found it helpful :D and now I'll end the post with pictures of my Kuronba/Rokku makeup and outfit <3
