EOS Super Nudy Pink Review

TODAY is a good day! Why? Because my pink circle lenses came in today!!!! I'm so excited! I've let them soak and i've tried them on. They are BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL! I thought because I have brown eyes, that the pink would kind of melt into my natural eye color like Max Pure Pinks do, but no. I'm not lying when I say that these lenses are PINK. I mean PINK PINK lol. So here is a quick review on my lenses that were purchased from Kiwiberry1-Collection.com.

EOS Super Nudy Pink review:


COMFORT: 4/5. I would give them a 5 but I haven't worn them for more than 30 minutes yet. But I put them in and it felt like I didn't have anything in my eyes. When I first put the right one in, it was a bit scratchy, so i moved it to the left and no scratchy-ness. So, the scratchy feeling wasn't the lenses, but my STUPID mascara lol.

COLOUR: 5/5. Can you say Pink? I'm talkin' Barbie pink lol. I LOVE THEM LOVE THEM! They color doesn't fade on my dark eyes at all, and I know on Monday, I'm gonna get some looks for sure! I'm soooo excited about them. The pink color is AMAZING!

ENLARGEMENT: 3/5. My eyes are already pretty big (about 14.2). These are 14.5 and give enough enlargement to where I say, "okie dokey. Any bigger, people will think i'm an Alien."  These look sooo natural. Plus my head is already large, so my eyes look proportioned hahahaha.
NATURALNESS: 3.75/5. They are pink, ya know. So no, it's not natural. But it looks good enough to where i could probably lie and say I had a birth defect that made my eyeballs pink lol j/k. The design is speckly, but not reptilian like. But from afar, they look pretty natural.

PRICE: 5/5. They are originally 20 bucks, but I got them for 30% off. An AMAZING price!
OVERALL: 5/5. For my first pair of circle lenses, these bad boys are GOOOOD.

Lady Gaga and Circle Lenses, My A*s!

For the past two days all I've been hearing is GAGA CIRCLE LENS GAGA CIRCLE LENS!

SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UP! If I hear her name and Circle Lens in the same sentence ONE MORE TIME I WILL SSSSCCCRRRREEEEAAAAMMMM!!!!!

Okay...for 1), NO ONE cares about Lady Gaga! The last thing I want to look like is her. Eww. Circle lenses were made popular in ASIA. Let me say it again. ASIA. It has nothing do with Gaga. Popular Asian singers and actors and asian young adults wear them because they want their eyes to look larger. And the Americans that wear circle lenses aren't paying "homage" to that singer or even Japanase anime. They just found a product that works for them. Gaga....you got to be kidding me.

2) I really wish that people would do research on these lenses before actually putting articles in papers/internet or segments on TV. Circle Lenses have the same risk as contact lenses. What's funny is that they even STATE IT IN THE ARTICLES, like NYtimes. With American Contact Lenses, you don't wear for long periods of time or sleep with them on, and all those other rules. Nothing different from circle lenses.

3) Circle lenses come in the most common sizes 14mm or 14.5mm. While people think this sounds huge, if you look online, Freshlook Colorblends come in the same size. Mine are 14mm. So technically they aren't different in size or "covering the whites" if you get a size that fits correctly. Now you see idiots who wear 14.8mm or 15mm circle lenses. They are stupid for wearing such large contacts that DEFINATELY ARE TO BIG FOR THEIR EYES. If they have vision problems later in life, that's their fault.

This is my opinion. Whenever an American industry is threatened by an outside source, we're most likely going to hear that their competition should be banned and illegal. For all we know, this could be a way for American Contact Lens providers to get the word out about circle lenses so they can distribute their own version of it in the future. Most American people do not wear contact lenses for vision problems, but for cosmetics. We change our eye color like earrings or shoes. So if western contact distributors are so "threatened" by imports, then do something about it. Make a lens to satisfy your customers needs, even if you didn't come up with the idea first.

Like Facetime on Iphone 4. Do you seriously think Apple came up with that? Asia's had that feature on phones for years.
 
This is all a marketing ploy. So don't be shocked if by the end of this year or next that you see a major lens provider come out with a "safer" version of Circle Lenses.If they were REALLY serious about the whole "ricky circle lenses" and all that good stuff, they wouldn't have put in their articles many accounts o f people stating that "they are having an amazing experience with circle lenses", "They have the same risks as regualr contacts" or "I consulted a doctor before buying Circle Lenses". Really....having quotes like that will DEFINATELY make me not buy these.  Reporters nowadays....*shakes head*

Me No Habla the "Espanyola" + Samgyupsal + The Last Airbender = Happy Happy 4th!

It's always the holidays that make you feel totally upset when you're 1) by yourself or 2) single. But, I made plans for myself this time. I refused to be left alone in my house on this day while everyone in Miami is having a BLAST. So, I made a plan. I made a plan that would bring happiness to my life. Oh yes...I did.

While my other plans ended up being cancelled (*pout* I had a feeling too. It's karma, I think. I was so excited for it during the week, there was basically no other choice but for it to be cancelled :o\ ), I had a plan B to put into action. It went like this:

1. 
   
   Wake Up
2. 
   
   Do my hair
3. 
   
   Samgyupsal
4. 
   
   The Last Airbender
5. 
   
   Fireworks

And yes, this was all by myself.

The Call of the Sea....

Ever since I was born, I had been a "Water Baby". Actually before I was born.  My mom would always tell me that during when she was pregnant with me, her stomach was HUGE. Not because of me. I was small, but because I was surrounded by so much water hahahah. I had my own little ocean to swim in. So yea, I've loved the water forever. When I was 10 years old and set up my own email account, it literally was "Water Goddess". At 12 my mom had a white skort with the words WaterGoddess airbrushed on the front lol.  I feel soo connected to the ocean, the moon, and the actual element of water, that my brother actually thinks I control the rain.

There was always 2 days out of a month that I would go to the beach. On a full moon and when the waves were extremely still and calm.  I would literally be in my car at 12:30am for the 30 minute drive, park my car, go to the nearest lifeguard chair and sit there. For 2 hours, just sitting there with nothing but me and the waves and the moon and the stars. It would be so quiet..nothing but my breathing and the sound of water meeting sand. The wind would blow and....I finally felt like I was home, that I could think.

Now that I've moved, I live in a place where I SHOULD have already been to the beach, but I've just been so busy with school and work. But last night, the moon made herself known to me lol.  It was the night after it was full and I could see her through my window and she was screaming at me for neglecting her for so long. Six months to be exact. And for hours all I could think of was the water and the waves. I was lying here in the dark, trying to sleep, but I literally could hear the ocean in my head. It was terrible.  I couldn't sleep the whole night.  I was restless.

So, I've decided that before the month is up, I should go to the beach. It doesn't matter how late. But I need to just lay there with the stars. I feel like a fish out of water. I feel so dry and unfulfilled. I feel...lost. *sigh* I know this whole post sounds so poetic lol hahaha, but it's the truth. My kind of people are a rare kind to find. But I know someone out there feels the same way as me sometimes. I must have been a dolphin in my past life hahahaha.

Peace, Love, and Happiness,

Happy 1 Month Anniversary To...My Hair!

My Hair In Flat-Twists For Work

Yes yes yes. It's my hair's one month anniversary. I realized it while watching PhillyDiva19154's "I Want Natural Long Hair-Length Check (June 2010)" video. While she was stretching her hair to see how long it was, I was thinking, "Damn...I really need to trim my hair today. It's been a month."

It's been a month?!?!?! I survived without putting heat in my hair or relaxer for one month?!? That's 31 days! I'm so proud of you hair. And my hair then said she was proud of me lol. She looked soooo cute for the first day of classes for Summer B at school today. Good job hair, even though humidity got to you in the end and we had to hide you in a beret for Statistics earlier tonite. Sad, but it's okay. You were still cute. (picture of today below)...

Diandra♥Fashion: Sorority Life

Sorority Life is a Facebook game that is crazy addicting (I blame Tiffny lol). They just put in all these new features like "Going to Paris" and getting boyfriends/sweethearts. Mine looks like Daniel Henney. NO JOKE lol. Because one of the goals of the game is to get as many outfits as you can (bc it makes you more powerful then other girls), I've seen a lot of outfits on there that made me go "Man, that's cute". So I decided to make a look based on my avatar's current outfit. This outfit is labeled Hobo Chic on the game (based on Paris fashion) and I absolutely loved it. What do you think?

Diandra♥Fashion: Route 66

What would you say this feels like? Boho? Vintage? I don't know lol, but I love the mix of colors. Knee high socks are a trend for 2010, and socks paired with open toe heels are another. So I paired the yellow socks since the tunic has yellow in the flowers and a blue cardigan for an offset color, but it's also in the flowers on the tunic as well. LOVING IT! I feel like I'm on a roll :o)

Peace Love and Happiness,

Diandra♥Fashion: Back to Basics

I discovered Looklet.com today through a blog I came across (can't remember it at the moment lol, sorry) and now I've become completely obsessed with it. It's like Polyvore, but with actual MODELS in the clothes! So now, whenever i'm reading a magazine or see something on a blog, on YouTube, on a random celebrity interview lol, I can now make it on this site!!! So this is my first outfit!

Thigh highs and tunics are seriously my favorite summer trend for this year. On top of that, a lot of ethnic items are coming into play as well. I'm dying for a pair of thigh highs and now looking at this outfit, I'm dying for this as well. I'm loving that necklace and the fact that it's from H&M makes it even better because it's accessible. This outfit may just be my very first for the summer!

Diandra♥Fashion: Miranda Kerr (model)

I was signing up for online sample sales (where I found an awesome Christian Audigier tote for 75% off), when it dawned on me that SERIOUSLY I need to see what the spring/summer/fall trends are for this year. When coming across the first trend "Hot Pants & Boyshorts", I found the most beautiful model i've ever seen. Her name is Miranda Kerr and we all know her from the famous (almost said infamous, Tiff hahaha) Victoria Secret's Angels. She had the brown hair with mucho curls, the small face, the pouty lips, my rising jealousy (I wasn't supposed to admit that). But in these pics that I saw her in, I was AMAZED at how...versatile in modeling she is. The orange blonde hair fits her so well that I didn't even know she was THE Miranda Kerr. The photographer gave her almost a Manga/Japanese Anime feel with the Schoolgirl/catholic school setting. She was truly very beautiful in this shoot. Miranda Kerr is now one of my favorite models. Plus she's ROCKIN' those hotpants and thigh highs! I have to find this issue in stores!

When It Comes to Pride & Prejudice or Jane Austen...I Really Don't Think Twice.

I knew I shouldn't have spent the 12 bucks, but I did. I mean how many times do you come across another adaptation of your favorite book of all time? So when I just happened to trip into Pemberley.Com, I got this sudden urge to buy another version of Pride and Prejudice as well as other versions of Jane Austen's books turned films/TV shows. So, I started going through Amazon.com and found "Lost in Austen", a modern Pride and Prejudice on Speed or Ecstasy story lol. I know, it's weird, but really there no other way to describe it hahaha.

It's about a girl named Amanda Price who is a major P&P fan (like me-self), who ends up getting sucked into the story while trading places with Elizabeth Bennet. In this alternate/fantasy world, she learns a lot of dark secrets of the characters, some you REALLY would have never seen coming. She tries her damndest to not change the story, but if you fall in love with Mr. Darcy, I don't think you have much of a choice lol. On top of that, I loved it when I watched it on Youtube, and for $9.58 for a spankin' brand new copy....I really had no choice. I bought it. I bought and I'm not ashamed to say I did!

I don't know how I became such a major fan of English/Victorian themed films and stories. I used to despise them. But I guess when you get older, you start to understand it more. Because of that, and my mom, I now own some adaptations of Pride and Prejudice and other Jane Austen films. Wanna see?
