Love those Lashes

I'm a little late posting the pics of the items I picked up off Ebay.  Super busy these days.  At any rate, here they are :)

Here's what I got. :)  On the far left are regular eyelashes.  They have this really pretty crisscross pattern that looks super natural.  They're not too long, but not too short.  And the quality is pretty good.  I think I paid two dollars for the ten pairs.

In the middle is a device used to apply the lashes to the eye as well as hold them in place while adding glue.  I did get a chance to try this, and I like it.  This was about a dollar I think.

The lasts item are bottom lashes.  This is something that I'm still fairly new to.  These are handmade from what I understand, so they cost a little more but still insanely cheap at about 2.50 USD.

Circle Lens LOVE

These contacts are something else.  LOL.  Look at the difference.  It's like night and day.  Admittedly, it took me forever to figure out getting them in.  I kept flinching because it's a natural reflex and I'm not an expert with contacts.  But look at that.  One eye looks huge and open.  It isn't any smaller or larger.  The contact creates the illusion for me.

Where do I start?  Short and simple.  LOL:  They're comfortable and I love the look.  It's like nothing is there.  I LOVE THEM!!!  Believe it or not, it looks fairly natural.  The lighting in the bathroom is a little strange. (Notice how it makes me skin look pinkish and yellowish.)  They enlarge the eyes which is a plus and they give me an opportunity to find out whether or not I want to wear contacts on a full time basis.  Plus, because they are colored, losing them would be difficult.

The site that I bought them from hosts all kinds of contest where you could win a free pair and stuff like that, so I'll be creating a makeup look to accompany my contacts.

What do you all think?

My Contacts are HERE!!! ^_^

I ordered my circle contact lenses on the 30th of September.  Well, they arrived today!  I'm so happy.  I'm happy with my shopping experience, the packaging, the extra attention to detail.  Everything was just great.  BTW, I ordered my contacts from Shoppingholics.com <---Click there.

Let me start with the attention to detail.  I know that every pair of contacts comes with a free case, but I wasn't expecting the extra items I was sent as well.  They added a nice touch.  Not to mention, there was a small card included in the package as well.

I'm rambling...  It's pic time.  LOL

This is the little baggy that everything was wrapped in, in the package.

Images of cute little card that was included

Freebies!  Contact case, velcro hair holder of some sort, and eye masks

Tiny box contacts came in and the bottles containing my lenses.  I would like to make it clear that everything was actually bubble wrapped and secured very neatly.  I was so excited to receive my package that I just ripped open everything. :)

The pick of the actual contacts will be put up tomorrow.  I had to get them out and soaked so that I could do a review on them asap.  But I will have to wait overnight for that.

There will be a few more items coming in within the next week or so.  I got lashes (top and bottom), a few clothing pieces, and a tool for putting on lashes.  I am also looking to relax again and paint my nails.  It's going to be a crazy week.  LOL

So Cute! ^_^

I have decided after years of thinking about it to try the sweet lolita fashion.  It's not what you think.  It's actually a popular Japanese street fashion that has been popular for over 20 years.  It's so sweet, innocent, and super kawaii!  I'll be providing more information on that later.  For now,here is a picture of my new dress. :) I would like feedback to see what you all think. :)

Pure Romance Products Review

A few weeks ago, I attended a Pure Romance party.  It was so much fun!  I had never been to one, and so it was quite the experience.

There was an array of items to choose from, naturally.  However, I decided to only buy beauty products.  Here's what I got:

The tall bottle is a product called Body Dew.  You spray this on after a shower or bath to lock in as much moisture as possible.  In short, it does the same thing as baby oil.  It smells way better though.  Did I mention is has pheromones in it as well?  The scent I picked was pink cupcake.  Delicious!

The second product is called Shimmertime.  You smooth this over the skin to add color a shimmer to the body.  It is even safe to use on the face.  It could be used as a highlighter, blush, lipgloss...whatever you like. I like the multipurpose aspect of this product and the fact that a little bit goes a long way.

Overall, I am highly satisfied with these products.  The Body Dew is amazing.  It makes my skin so soft, and the smell is heavenly.  I use it everyday, and I will likely purchase more.  The Shimmertime will get more use as the holiday parties and such roll around.  I do like that it doesn't harm my sensitive skin and I only have to use so little to get the desired effect.  For what I paid, I got a great value too.

Circle Lenses :)

I'm jumping on the circle lenses train.  I've been watching the videos, doing my research, and admiring the results others have had with these Asian-born wonders.

In case you all are not familiar with the circle lenses, let me give you a little info.  The purpose of these contacts are mostly fashionable.  They aren't supposed to be worn for more than 8 hours at a time.  The concept behind these lenses are that they will create the illusion of larger looking irises which appear to make the eyes look larger.  They are highly popular in East Asia.

Circle lenses are not available for sale in the United States because they aren't approved by the FDA.  Apparently, the larger the contact, the less oxygen your eyes receive.  This could cause injury to the eye with a worse case scenario of blindness.  This is the reason they are not available for sale in the US.  As stated before they are not meant to be worn for more than 8 hours at a time to prevent the risks of eye injuries.  They are available in both prescription and non prescription.

The occurrence of harm to the eyes is very low when the contacts are used as specified.  To my knowledge, there is a very low chance of injury to the eye with circle lenses if you follow simple rules on cleaning the lenses, storing them properly, and keeping the hands clean.  It is also important to soak them in fresh solution  before EVERY use.  Never ever ever use old solution.  This is true even for regular contacts.  And let me emphasize...  DO NOT WEAR FOR MORE THAN 8 HOURS.  That means no falling asleep in them either.  You will damage your eyes if you abuse these simple rules.

Circle lenses typically come in two wear lengths.  There are the 30 days lenses which are a bit cheaper and the others that last for one year that costs a bit more.  The average prices are about 10-15 US dollars for 30 day lenses and 20-40 US dollars for the one year lenses.  I chose the one year lenses because it seemed like a better value.  However, this is completely up to you.  The sizes vary as well with and average of about 14mm across.  Some of the largest I've seen were 16+mm.

My wanting to buy these lenses is just me wanting to change it up a little bit.  I love experimenting with beauty products and trying new things.  I'm a product junkie too which doesn't help.  I decided on the Geo Super Size Nudy Grey.  The color change is subtle and compliments brown eyes very nicely from what I've seen.  The size is 14.8 mm which is on the bigger side.  Go hard or go home, right?

I'm not going to post pics at this point in time, but I will be sure to after I get them.  I'll likely do a before and after comparison.  I'm so excited.  I purchased my contacts from shoppingholics.com.  I'll provide a direct link to the pair I purchased right here.  Let me know what you think about the circle lense craze.

My Order Has Arrived

Earlier in the week, I purchased some flats from PinkBasis.com, and they're here already. The shipping is awesome. :)

Let me be quite honest.  These probably aren't the best quality shoes I've ever bought, but they are quite decent.  As the saying goes, you get what you pay for.  I will post the pics of the shoes first, then I will zero in on some things about them that I really didn't like.

Now here comes the part that I'm not so in love with:  If you at the third image (tan with leopard print details), it is apparent that the toe decal is definitely crooked.  That's not all though.  Look at this image below:

There is a clear indentation in the back of the shoe that I could not pop out for anything.  I will attribute that to the packaging because it does happen.  In addition, there was glue residue on the side of the shoe.  I was no happy about that at all.

The next image concerns the pair in the first pic.  Look at this:

Notice that there is a scrape or peeling of some sort.  It's something that I am going to fix because this shoe is of better quality.  However, it was clear to me right when I opened the box.

The last issue I had was with pair number seven.  There is a glob of glue residue on the inside of the shoe.  I'm not going to complain too much because it's a cosmetic defect inside of the shoe.  However, it was another thing that I noticed right away.

My overall experience rating is actually not that bad.  I did get these shoes for the dirt.  Some of the things like the glue residue and the scrape are things that I can fix myself.  The lopsided toe though?  Not really.  I may even send them back or right a complaint e-mail.  The rest of the shoes are super cute.  I think I made some good choices

One thing I want to stress as well is that these shoes are true to size.  I got them I bit bigger because I wasn't sure.  Some brands run small, especially if they aren't the best quality.  These are an exception as far as my experience goes.

I hope you all enjoy this post.  Let me know what you think about my purchase. :)
