Princess Mimi Almond Brown + New Fringe

Wow, what a long name for these lenses haha

Well, here I am with yet another review for you all! I have the Princess Mimi Sesame Grey lenses (review) and really liked them. However, within the mimi series these are part of the more natural lenses.

Lens Info
Diameter: 15mm
B.C: 8.6mm
Life Span: Yearly
Power Available: 0.00 to -8.00

Color&Design: 
They really are an almond color! Or taupe if you want to get more technical with the color - a dark brown with a slight tint of grey. The design is really simple as you can see from the lens shot and the limbal ring is fairly thick, but not too overpowering. As for the kind of look it gives off, a natural dolly look is what it is~

Enlargement:  
Diameter: 15mm
I think this size for enlargement is good. If it were a tad bit smaller, I'd like it even more :P

Comfort: 
I thought these were quite comfy! I did experience a bit of dryness after 5 hours but for me that is good because I tend to have drier eyes.

Overall: 
These are probably my most natural pair of lenses I have aside from my grang grang lenses (which I reviewed: HERE). I like how they don't make your eyes appear black or honey colored (though I do like honey brown colored eyes too). These are just strictly brown.

Comparisons
Grang Grang Brown vs Grang Grang Choco vs Mimi Almond Brown




And now on to my new fringe!
Here's the story, I was tempted to cut my bangs and have always adored the asymmetrical fringe style. Specifically, Park Yong Hee's fringe:

She was my inspiration for my most recent tutorial too! 

BUT. Sadly, my bangs were not cut the way I wanted them. I even had pictures to show the stylist. Turned out that the hair dresser was the old-school one in the salon >.> He probably never updated himself on newer trends and how to cut them. 

It was a new place and a friend of mine had a really nice hair color done there so I was willing to try out and see how well they would do with hair cutting. So I'm at fault for being so daring too lol

Anywho, after I went to the salon, I was quite bummed out so I fixed up them up on my own. 
Here is how my new fringe looks like after fixing them up and letting them grow out a bit:

So it wasn't that bad after fixing it up. Still, it was quite saddening to me because I grew out my bangs for so long and my length was perfect for the type of asymmetrical fringe I wanted. But he pretty much hacked it off. He cut my length more than I planned to too. 

I could have cut my bangs the way I wanted on my own, but I really liked Yong Hee's fringe to the point where I wanted it professionally done.

Lesson learned: I'm just going to continue cutting my own hair.
At least until I find a place that really knows and understand how to cut hair in a way that I like :(

Well, that's all there is to it haha
I'll live, my hair will grow, and I will attempt at getting her bangs once again!

Now, for a last photo of me for this post, I promise! haha
(I just really liked the filters on this one :P)

Thanks for dropping by! :3

Tutorial: Ulzzang Park Yong Hee *Inspired*

Hello ^^

Today was a day off of classes for me, the teachers decided it was fair for the students to have a one day break as this week will have two clinical exam days. One exam day goes on for 10 hours... So I am so happy I had today off.

But I wanted to take the opportunity to create a tutorial for an ulzzang whom I really admire, Park Yong Hee. I looove the darker eye looks, and at first I wanted to do a visual kei inspired tutorial, maybe I'll do that later on though. Also, I think Park Yong Hee is HOT. Lol

Final Look:

Lenses: New Adult Grey


So that's the inspired tutorial for her eye makeup ^^
And as you can see, I got my hair cut! BUT.. I will make another post on that because in these photos, I styled them like mad and they actually do not look like this normally. 

A bad hair cut experience, really :(


Some more photos I snapped for this look:


Let me know what you think ^^
Hope you liked this tutorial!

LENS REVIEW: I. Fairy Casper Blue

Hi :D

Many of you were excited about the I. fairy casper blue lenses because of it's unique and bold design and I was too. Well, they did not lose to that excitement AT ALL. All I can say is.. these are pretty awesome B)


Lens Info
Diameter: 16.2mm
Base Curve: 8.6mm

Power Available: 0.00 to -8.50
Life Span: Yearly
Water Content: 55%
B.C: 8.6mm

Color&Design: 
These are amazing <3 The color is so vibrant and stands out so much. Very opaque and the colors chosen go beautifully together. These are definitely fake looking and scream for attention. It seems though, that with flash, the colors come off as more of a pastel color.. that would be so awesome if there were pastel lenses too :O

Enlargement:  
Diameter: 16.2mm
Deng, they're big. Heavy makeup for a night out would be best suited for these (also keeping in mind of how vibrant they are as well).

Comfort: 
I thought these would be less comfortable because these weren't the best for Jennifer in terms of comfort (her review of these lenses: click). However, they were surprisingly very okay for me. Eye drops would suffice for me. But remember, comfort differs for each individual!

Overall: 
LOVE them! The design is complex and intricate as well as the color combination. They are super opaque and the color stands out like there's no tomorrow haha The only thing about this is that they might not be the best for everyday wear and heavier makeup is best suited for these lenses.

Full Face:

What are your thoughts on the I. fairy casper blue lenses?

Hair News:
I decided that.. I'm going to cut a hair cut. OMG WHAT!? nahhh it's nothing crazy, but I am going to cut my bangs and layers sometime this month, I'm done with growing out my bangs and layers. At this point, I know how I would look if they grew out longer so yup. I give up LOL I haven't had them this long before though so I'm satisfied :3

I will make an entire post about this later on though!
Gah, I'm sooo behind on posts =.=''

Have a good day everyone! ^^
