Anything new from me? yes!

Thank you to everybody who visits/reads my posts. I appreciate it very much! I wanna share with you what kind of jewelry I usually wear these weeks :)

Earrings:

I often see myself (yep) wearing Drey Jewelry's design:

Why? Because of the butterfly backs. I’m not scared of losing them while walking outside. So let's say i prefer butterfly back over ear hooks. Other reasons are: dangling earrings, golden flower swarovski crystal (yellow goes well with my skin tone), very nice and delicate crown charms, and yes, butterfly post earrings. All metals are made of .925 sterling silver. Good for sensitive ears.


And also, since I don’t have any cartilage piercing, I often sport this design from Simplyy J:

The material of this earcuff is easy to manipulate, but not to the point of being fragile. SimplyyJ said that it's possible to shower with this ear cuff. (yes!!) I’m one damn lazy girl, y'know! It is made of 14K Gold filled! ..but in my personal experience, I find it hard to sleep on it. It kinda hurts a little. So I had to take it off each night… :(


Rings:
As for rings, I usually wear this Eugene-inspired ring from Drey Jewelry. Made of .925 sterling silver. Those two balls are made of rhinestones. So they shine as hell!!! :D

There's this one particular ring i felt in love at first sight, because of its original design.


I'm not sure if I like their customer service....I emailed them asking if those rings are expandable, because I have no clue about their ring size. I never got their response, not even in my junk mail. So i was like "f*ck that...let's order it...and pray they're expandable." xD and THEY ARE! :D so happy! On the pictures, it's a size 6.5 - 7. They can get bigger or smaller. YES I HAVE UGLY CHUBBY FINGERS. but who cares! :) I believe they're not made of sterling silver. So beware, owner of sensitive fingers! :) Based on my experience, i won't wear that often during summer, due to possible sweat. Chemical things from the body will rape all the plated metal' skin and turns blue/red or whatsoever.


Necklace:
I saw this necklace through Kechiko. I felt in love at first sight. I ABSOLUTELY adore crosses. I bought it at the same place as Kechiko.
Theresa Mink on Etsy!

the cross measures is 12 x 19 mm. The chain including the cross is 15 3/4". I love it so much that I was crazy to buy another one, but this time in sterling silver! There was one time I lost a jump ring that was attached to the horizontal dainty golden cross, but lucky me, the necklace was resting on my neck the whole day!! I was very happy that I lost the jump ring instead of the whole necklace! Anyhow, after that incident, I couldn't wear it anymore, cuz I have no replacement 14k jump ring. Months after, I decided to contact the seller. She said she will send a couple of jump rings to me so that I can fix them. So nice of her. :D I recommend everyone who's interested to buy this design with no open rings, so that the necklace won't fall off due to "pulling/tugging the necklace". She actually sell some of them like that now. I noticed some Etsy shops sell this kind of model too, but in a similar design. Be careful. However, I saw one seller who also sell this exact model in sterling silver for less than $40. So it's up to you, if you're interested that is.

Ok, enough of jewelry. What I use to remove blackheads from the nose is this Facial cleaning pad. It's made out of silicone. So it's easy to bend without cracking it. Easy to wash it. You can actually buy it for $1 on ebay, but I bought it from a local store. Too lazy (or should i say impatient) to wait for the package to come...lol I'm not sure what the heck is that round thing (see below, upper right). You can't even feel it from the touch if it's for demo... o_O ...


Before, I used St Ives' Blemish and Blackhead control apricot scrub like...EVERYDAY. I didn't know that it will kill my skin by dehydrating it. Now that I read some reviews by googling, I use it twice a week. it's a good product imo.

But from the day that I finished this product, I always and always use the facial cleaning silicone pad + soap (if lazy) or some other cleaning cream product. It's cheaper that way, and I get to use it everyday without drying my skin.


I recently bought a pair of converse Chuck Taylor All Star shoes. I usually wear black clothes, so charcoal goes well with my pants.

I had to order half-size down from my regular one. So be careful. If ever you want to order them online, test them first in store to see whether it fits you well or not. As for now, i can feel my smallest toes rubbing on the side. Damn, now that I'm googling about converse rubbing your feet..lol I kinda regret for buying them :( ................................................I wanted to try new comfy shoes, but didn't know (again) they might be bad. Oh well, if it's for the look so BE IT, then! :'(

Did you ever own a pair of converse shoes? any good or bad news with them?? :(

Lots of love,
Noriki

Celeb Super Nudy lenses in Violet and Geo Black lenses

It's my first time "reviewing" circle lenses..AND it's my first time having uncomfortable 14.5mm circle lenses:
Dia: 14.5 mm
B.C.: 8.6 mm

These lenses look quite "natural" IMO. You actually don't need to have any eyeshadow or eyeliners to balance your eyes out. Some circle lenses that have vivid color (green, pink, blue, etc...except the brown and black ones) require makeup, otherwise your eyes will look like an "alien" or let's say..unnatural.

I bought these lenses at Dollyeye for $15 (free shipping). It doesn't take too long to order them in my case. took at least 2-3 weeks to be delivered to Canada. no waiting list. The package was wrap veryyyy tightly with bubble wrapper and newspapers. had to use scissors to cut them!!
Although i'm quite satisfied with the look (i don't wear any makeup except mascara), the comfy level isn't at its best. It's kinda sad. I can feel the lenses on my eyes, as if it's too big for my eyes. I thought wearing them all day will make the lenses take the shape of my eyes sooner or later. but alas, it's still uncomfortable :( ...from 9:30am-2pm felt my lenses. then 2pm-6pm, it looked like my eyes were suffering and needed some oxygen..lol

Usually I wear my lenses more then 10 hours, which is quite bad. But i guess I have to wear max 6-8hours for the Celeb Super nudy in violet now.

I'm surprised that the company name (theDollyEye) is on the yellow label. I was wondering if it's legit or not lol, but since it's not a GEO brand, I couldn't find any authenticity sticker. I have already verified via google if it's ok to wear their lenses..so there shouldn't have any problem.
My friend who's a guy also sports these lenses, and he told me that it's the most comfortable lenses he ever had as for now....SO i guess it depends on each person.

Enlargement: i give a 5/5! Whenever I take off these lenses off, i pity my eyes...so damn small....lol

Color and Design: I'm looking for a natural look with a little bit of spice in it. The color is subtle with a hint of purple-blueish. It's artificially natural. :) Indoor lighting: my eyes look a bit shiny with a pinch of dark violet. Outside with the sunlight, we can see the violet popping. You can click on the images for better details. Excuse me for my horrible dark circles.

The design looks similar to the GEO nudy brown that I had, but it doesn't give that lizard look in natural light.
If you're looking for a vibrant violet circle lenses in a dollish way, then these are not for you. If you're looking for a natural soft look, but want to experiment colors other than brown and black, take the Celeb Super Nudy in violet!


(you gotta click on the image to see some details)





Dia: 14.0 mm
B.C.: 8.5 mm

I bought the Geo Black lenses at GeoSupplier for only $10. It takes weeks to get them (minimum one month). There's that waiting list, but for that price, i have NO complaint. I also have no problem with their way of wrapping the products even though it's not wrapped inside a gift box. My parcels was always in excellent shape. My gosh, I have soooo many little gift boxes in my drawer !??!?! they're too adorable to throw away. So now I'm stucked with them. =.='

Enlargements: 5/5. The black outer rim gives an enlargement that I like. I don't look like an alien that got brainwashed.

Colors and Design: Because of its design, the color blends with my natural brown eyes, and it doesn't make my eyes entirely black like what you see in my pictures...We can actually see my natural brown eyes inside that black rim with natural light. What interest me is to see people with natural green, gray, and blue eyes wearing them.

Comfort: 5/5 I absolutely love them! It felt like they weren't there. good stuff.




That's all for today! See you next time!
P.S.: I wanna thank the new followers for following me. Gracias girls!! ^____^
