Geo Angel Brown

Hey guys!
On my last post I talked about my very first pair or circle lenses. A lot of you (or at least those who left a comment) were interested to see how they would look on me.  So finally my eye infection is gone so here they are....

Brand: Geo Medical
Design: Angel Brown
Origin: Korea
Diameter: 14.0 mm
Base Curve: 8.6 mm
Water Content: 38%
Lifespan: 1 year disposable

These are the smallest size in circle lenses yet I feel like they made my eyes look like this (O.O). Here is a close up.
I can't describe how much I love them already. I've you've followed me for a while you know my eyes are small. Here is a picture from an older blogpost. So I think they make a difference on my eyes.
I'm a first time contact user, I actually didn't have any problem to put them on or taking them off, but I could feel the lenses in there all the time. I only wore them for 1 hour, just to start getting my eyes used to them. I did noticed that with flash they look very fake, in the sense that they will make you look lifeless. You can see where my eye ends and begins. Not really a big problem though because I mostly plan on using them during the day.
Anyways, I can't really write more about these lenses because I'm not an expert, so maybe next time.

My First Circle Lenses

Hey guys!
For a very long time I had been considering getting a pair or circle lenses. I was really hesitant to get them all due to the bad publicity they gave them on Good Morning America and that article on the New York Times. But after reading so much about I just came to the conclusion that they ran out of stories and just decided to sensationalized circle lenses.

So I spent literally 2 months deciding which pair to buy and where to buy it from. Because apparently there are a lot of fake lenses from China.  Anyways, I decided to buy from pinkyparadise. My package arrived last week, but I didn't open the lenses because I had no solution, so I opened them until I got the solution. (Off topic paragraph coming up next.)

Can you imagine how excited I was? like "Tomorrow I'm going to finally try they on!!!" wrong I couldn't. I got  sick. I started with a little sore throat which developed into a fever. I was coughing up blood and my right eye got an infection and it blurred mi vision. So I went to the hospital because I was scared I had TB or something. Turns out my tonsils were swollen and have a mild infection on my bronchial tubes. So I can't put on my lenses for the next five days until my eye heals. Sucks.

So anyways, here is what I received form pinky paradise.

My lenses, dariya blue velcro hair things and animal lense case. I got blue bears.
The lenses are Geo Angel Brown, and the diameter is 14.0 which is the smallest size of circle lenses. I have never worn contacts so I just decided to try these and if I like them and have no problems I will try bigger diameters.

Here is a closeup of the lenses, super pretty! I want to wear them nao!

Room Decor

Hey guys!
I'm so sorry for the lack of posts. The thing is that I'm moving into a new room. Well I actually have been sleeping in my new room for a couple of days. My new room It used to be my dad/sister's office/study area. But since my sister got married and moved with her husband, and because of something I can't talk about happened (I can't talk about it because it is more related to my parents than it is to me) my old room was taken away with everything in it.

So you can guess that I needed new furniture, bed, mattress, closet, paint it, and adapt it for living conditions, and I'm broke because of that. I've spent most of the past weekends doing all of these things. Weekends are the only days that I can take photos for blogging purposes. My theme for the room is Shabby Chic/Liz Lisa style without the distressed furniture.
 PS Because some people think this is my room. This NOT my room, This is inspiration for my room. I wished my room looked like that, heck I even wish it was at leastthis big, my room is tiny.

 My room is not finished yet, I still have to finish my closet, and buy furniture. All of that is so expensive! It is also quite difficult because my room is very small, and all my stuff doesn't fit, so I'm going to sell some clothes and makeup again. I don't really want to show it as of right now. But I will tell you the color... guess?

Pink of course lol. I decided to go with the color in the middle, Strawberry Mousse, and it's so pink! I wasn't expecting it to be so pink, because the swatch in real life looks like a pale pink, but it turned out more like a bubblegum pink. But I do like the color, even my boyfriend said it was pretty.

Anyways, here is the list of things I still need
- Trashcan
- Shelves
- Curtains
- Rug
- Desk
- A chair for my desk
- Dresser ( white one)
- A comforter/duvet.. whatever is fine
- finish my closet
- ahh never ending list

If any of you can reccomend me places to get room decor I will love you forever!

SM Town in Anaheim!

Hey guys!
Sorry I've so M.I.A. these weeks. I realized that I haven't even posted a video on youtube in nearly 2 months.  I have been busy with school, I'm having exam after exam, and homework, and work. I actually, had 2 weeks of Spring Break, and guess what I did? STUDY! The first day of class coming from spring break we had a test. My professors are so inconsiderate.

Anyways, this week, AllKpop posted the news that the SM Town tour was set to start in May in Anaheim! I live in San Diego, so it's only 2 hours away! A lot people were complaining about the short notice, because, I think it was on Monday that they announced the tour, and the tickets went on sale on Thursday April 5th. Only 3 days notice to get the money!.

Especially when you see the ticket prices!

Honestly I was going to the concert alone because I don't know anyone in real life who likes kpop. But my boyfriend said no. He said he was worried I was going alone so he is going with me (he secretly likes Girls' Generation shhh). Getting the tickets was such a hassle, the server crashed not once, not twice, but 3 times in my attempt to get nice seats.

I got front row tickets!.... in section 409 lol. It's just that Ticketmaster charges ridiculous "processing fees" that's why I couldn't afford better seats. I went on the Powerhouse website, and they are not charging those fees, and almost for the same price I can get tickets in the 200 section, but it is in the back.

I have a huge dilemma, 409, I'm in front row, but far from the stage. 207 I would be in the back, but closer to the stage, but in the middle of the entire venue. If some artist decide to perform on the other side of the stage, I would just see their backs... mm what do to?

I think I will be keeping my 409 front row ticket. I'm short so everyone is taller than me, and blocks my view. In section 409 I won't have to worry about it. If I get tired of standing up, I can sit down and no one will block my view. Besides, they have screens and all.
Also, I'm only going because I want to see SHINee, I like the other groups, but SHINee is my ultimate favorite, and since the show is only 3 hours long, I might only see SHINee for around 30 minutes. Not worth paying more. I'm also excited to see EXO since they are debuting next week..
So here are a list of things to do before the concert on May 20th.
- Get a nice camera with super zoom (Canon Powershot SX40 HS it was a zoom of 35x!, most cameras only have 5x)
- Buy SHINee glow stick
- Get the baloons from pearlaquaocean
- Learn the fanchats.
- Decide what to wear.
- Pay my car Plates.
-  Save money for SM Town goods!
- Meet more Shawols
-  Drive safe to the venue.
- Don't fall off the balcony during the concert.


Is anyone going? lets be friends :)
