I need to post more. But I don't know what to post about. My cousin is coming over tomorrow (well technically today) or some time after that so yay~

SOLUTION-LENS.COM REVIEW: VASSEN CRYSTAL BLUE

Helllluurrrr~ Sorry for taking so long. Unfortunately, I can't upload a video review because the type of video file it is (video makers only support wmv and other video files, not mp4) (；￣Д￣）

Anyway, Solution-lens.com has asked me to review a pair of circle lenses for them. These lenses go by other names like Vassen/I.Fairy (Super) Crystal Blue but on the website they're Vassen Crystal Series Blue (link will be at end of review).

Information about the lenses

Name: Crystal Blue

Brand: Vassen

Diameter: 15.00 mm (on the vial it states 14.5 mm, on other websites it states 16.00 mm but the actual disameter is 15.00 mm

Base curve: 8.6

Duration: A year

Now, time for pictures~~~

Here's how the packaging looked like unopened

hehe poopy sticker

And this is it with its contents taken out

The bubble wrap off

This pen is so cute. It's a little mouse. The tip comes out whenever you press down on an ear and depending on what ear you press down on, either blue or black ink will come out.

I really like this little box it came with. I can use it for other things now yay :3

The box opened

The contents inside the box:

These cute earrings~  ლ(╹◡╹ლ)

A lens case

And the lens vials wrapped in more bubble wrap (◕‿◕✿)

Here's the pictures of me wearing them

Outdoor lighting:

Sorry I didn't open my eyes big enough in the last picture  (⌒_⌒;)

Oh and I didn't take "with makeup" pictures because these lenses are pretty bright enough without makeup.

On to the review! ＼（＠￣∇￣＠）／

Color/Design:

10/10

I didn't chose these lenses for the design, but for the color. Either way, the design is pretty basic but very nice. And the color is really vibrant. You can easily tell they're blue from far away. They're a semi-natural bright blue but if you're looking for lenses that are really natural, these aren't the ones for you. The color and design is really lovely though and I love them.

Enlargement:

8/10

The size is big but when you have them on they're not noticably large. Maybe it's just me because all my lenses are 15.00 mm and I'm too used to huge lenses. o3o

Comfort:

8/10

There are times where these lenses irritate my eyes. Either they feel stingy or too dry. I believe the stingy-ness is from lack of proper care for lenses (sometimes I'm rushing through cleaning them when putting them on so it's probably a my bad).

Overall:

10/10

I love these contacts so much! Everything about them is wonderful. I really needed lenses like these for my Supernatural genderbend Castiel (Castiela) cosplay and these are just perfect. I must have the red, pink, and violet ones from the same series.  ლ(́◉◞౪◟◉‵ლ)

More pictures of me actually wearing them (sorry but the lighting I took these pictures in really suck).

This is with my Nyan Cat inspired makeup.

Yes, I know. It's messy. Please don't take it too seriously because the design I made was kinda rushed through. (#／。＼#)

Furthur questions...

What is the natural color of your eyes?

My eyes are a REALLY dark brown. Nearly black. The only time the brown is noticeable is when they're in direct sunlight or colored contacts like green or blue are on (as seen on previous pictures).

What are your favorite contact lenses colors and brands?

I love really bright, icy color lenses. I never really care for natural lenses unless they're a pretty color. My favorite brands are Geo and Vassen.
Do you often wear color lenses (which brands?)

I wear circle lenses on a daily basis when school was in. Now that it's summer I don't need to put them on as much unless I go out. The only brands I own are Geo and Vassen.
Where did you find our store (Google, Facebook, Youtube, Tumblr, friends...)

I found Solution-lens.com through Google; through their giveaway page.
What contact lenses you like on our store (put photos and links)

http://www.solution-lens.com/vassen-fynale-hello-kitty-pink-circle-contacts-lenses.html

I've always wanted these Hello Kitty contacts *~*

http://www.solution-lens.com/vassen-cherry-violet-contact-lens-new-style-violet-contact-lens-dark-ring.html

I really want violet lenses aznd I'm so picky with what brands/color I get because of my dark eyes but I found out that Vassen Cherry Violet is the perfect lens for me! They're actually much more brighter than in the picture above.

These are the only lenses I can think of /that I want at at the moment. 
Is our website easy to visit / browse

The website is very easy to browse because it goes by brand, series, and colors.
Is our customer service good / quick

I didn't talk much to the customer service but the lenses did get her fairly quick considering they came from Asia. I think it was 5 - 7 days. I didn't keep track well. ^-^''

Oh, right. Reviews.

If I feel like getting on the computer tomorrow, I'll finally do the reviews for the lenses I've received in April. Not that anyone cares but yeahhhhh

I haven't posted in a while (not that anyone cares) but....

I received both pairs of circle lenses I won from separate giveaways in the mail over the past two weeks and I'll do a review of them both sometime this week. I couldn't do it immediately after I got them because my brother was hogging the laptop x.x

Finally.. Another Circle Lenses Review!

I've been neglecting my blog since I got my phone back. Since my phone has internet, I tend to use it more than the computer. I figured it's time to talk about the lenses I bought from HoneyColor.

So, after over two weeks of having them; here's a review of my current favorite lenses.

Here's a picture of the packaging and what it came with.
With every order from Honeycolor you receive a free cute lens case (chosen at random). As you can see, I got a yellow... frog? I saw somebody else get this one and she said it was a hippo. *shrugs*

Information about the lenses:
Brand (Manufacturer): Geo
Lens Name: Geo Princess Mimi Chocolate Brown (from the Bambi series)
Diameter: 15.00 mm
Base curve: 8.7
Origin: South Korea
Duration: 1 Year

On to the pictures of me wearing them!

The outside pictures were hard to take because it's so bright outside and it's hard to open my eyes. (⌒_⌒;)

Now, to the actual review.

Color/Design: 10/10 - The pictures doesn't do its justice when it comes to how vibrant the color on these lenses are. The design is very pretty. Like the Apple Green, it has a black rim, a dark color, and then a light color surrounding the area where your pupil and natural eye color goes. I really love the design of the Bambi series. I hope to buy the colors from the rest of the series.

Enlargement: 8.5/10 - Versus the Apple Green, these are slightly more natural looking thus making the enlarging effect of these not as dynamic. They're still pretty big though.

Comfort: 10/10 - These are very comfortable. I never notice they're there. In fact, I sometimes forget to take them off before naps.. oops.  I can go long periods of time without eye-drops as well so these rarely get dry. (Side note: I finally discovered what was wrong with my green ones; the thin clear rim around the black rim was ripped and I have to get new ones ;-;)
Overall: 10/10 - I love these lenses and I wear them on a daily basis. Everything about them is lovely. 

About Honeycolor.com

Honeycolor has a wide selection of lenses for low prices. They're pretty genuine. I've heard bad reviews about HoneyColor AFTER I got my contacts shipped so I was a bit worried. Except, their reviews were about their customer service and not the lenses being fake and such. All I have to say to that is: They were fine with me. When I first ordered these, I accidentally put the wrong shipping address. By the time I realized it was wrong, they were already shipped to the other house. I contacted Honeycolor asking if they could reship them to me to the correct address and they said yes but I'd have to pay a six dollar reshipment fee. This process did not take long, but for a few days they did forget to send me the reshipment fee. After reminding them, they sent me it and the contacts were reshipped the next day. I believe in less than I week I received my contacts. So my experience went really well considering I messed up the first time I ever ordered circle lens.

I lied.

I'll do my lens review on the weekend. I'm completely exhausted when I get home from school. x.x

Guess what I got?

I finally received my lenses from Honeycolor.com! 

After three months of waiting (my fault for putting the address wrong the first time (oops)), I finally get to see how my Chocolate Brown lenses look on me. c:

I'll be posting a review probably tomorrow after school so I can see how they feel after an eight hour period so I can rate the comfort (I already have an idea on how to rate the color and enlargement so yeah).

Geo Princess Mimi Apple Green (Bambi) Review from FobbyBarbie.com

I'm sure many people have reviewed these since their debut but honestly I don't care because I'm doing these for fun. I have A LOT to say since it's my first review. (─‿‿─)

Note: I use my dad's tablet to take pictures so they're not high quality and I didn't take all the pictures in different lighting that I needed so I'll post what I have.

Review

Packaging: I'm not rating the packaging I'm just talking about it since I don't have visuals of it. It came in a sealed envelope-like packaging with bubble wrap on the inside.. which I took apart and started popping.

 (゜▽゜;)

The lens came in vials which were also sealed in bubble wrap (more for me to pop ლ(́◉◞౪◟◉‵ლ) )

It also came with a normal lens case (versus other websites who do those cute animal cases but I'm not complaining). 

In total, the packaging is very safe so customers from Fobby Barbie have nothing to worry about. C:

Color (and Design): 10/10 - For my first circle lenses, I'm fairly pleased. The color is as expected so I'm not complaining about how dark the green is on me. After all, I do have DARK DARK DARK brown eyes. Like most lenses, they leave a lot of space for your pupils, making your natural eye color fade into the lenses' color. Except in my case my natural eye color and pupil are not far in color so it looks like I have one huge pupil in these lenses. Basically, I look high.

Enlargement: 10/10 - I'm still debating how to rate the enlargement. I would say 9.5/10 because on me these lenses need something to compliment them to make them not look so.. frog-like. *3* Like, glasses, makeup, or straight bangs/fringe (which I do have but I swept them to the side for photos). My mum says they look natural, and these look very natural on other people who said they look unnatural/frog-like. So I guess it's just my viewpoint that effects it. And as I said before, considering my dark eyes and pupil blend in it makes me look very high. ｡◕‿◕｡

Comfort: 9.5/10 - I haven't worn contacts in a while and these were really good to me. Only problem I had is having it feel like something was there (but this feeling only occurred on the upper eyelid of my right eye). I heard Geo had thick lenses and to some were really uncomfortable but I mostly didn't notice a thing. And they didn't get dry within the many hours I wore them.

d=(´▽｀)=b

Overall: 10/10 - These are my first pair of circle lenses and I love them so much. I can't wait to receive and try on the brown ones in this series. ლ(́◉◞౪◟◉‵ლ)

About FobbyBarbie.Com

As previously stated, I did not buy these. I won them from Reina's giveaway (her other blog on tumblr is here) therefore I know very little about FobbyBarbie.com and its service. I do know that through express mail I received these quickly. She ordered them I believe late of last week or early this week??? I also know that FobbyBarbie has a great variety of circle lenses and at good, cheap prices and have sales constantly.

Click here to check out fobbybarbie.com and it's great deals!

Guess what?

I finally received my circle lenses!

Actually, it's only one of the pairs I won from a giveaway. Since their shipped individuality instead of together in one package I should get the other ones tomorrow (Monday).

As for the ones I ordered, they're taking forever in a day. ;-;

I guess I'll do a review for the ones I got since I wore them the whole day????

No video though because my webcam has shitty quality.

And unfortunately no pictures because I used my dad's tablet and I mostly took face pictures instead of close up eye pictures. 

Meh.

That bit of me hasn't been shared on my tumblr nor any other blog yet. I chose to have it here where barely any people would see it.

Everything's not alright and I would rather...

Hello. Even though I've been posting for a while and I have no followers yet, I want to give a proper introduction of myself. 

My name is Ruby Nichole Guardiola. I am fifteen years old, going on sixteen this year on May 30th. I have (self-diagnosed) anxiety problems and depression. I know that you may think that it being self-diagnosed it's not reliable and nothing really serious but we may never know. I haven't gone to the doctors for anything yet. No therapist. No psychologist. Nothing. It's just me living in my own shitty world. 

I know a few of you older people are saying, "it's just teen angst" or "it's just a phase."

I have been disgusted and embarrassed by my weight since I was in Kindergarten, if I recall correctly. Can you imagine being so young and starting to dislike yourself so much? Over time, the hatred I had for myself built up. I remember constantly being asked by my grandma to lose weight/go on a diet/exercise/etc. She didn't mean it in a bad way; she just wanted me to be healthy. Either way, it got me down and it still does when I think about it. I didn't feel good enough. Eventually it got worst. It wasn't just me being fat that got to me. My face is ugly. My hair is just, bleh. My skin is terrible. I hate the way I have dark pigmentation between my breasts and inner thighs. I hate how fat my arms were. I hate how I had a wart on my nose and now I hate how I have a scar from removing the wart. I hate my teeth. I hate my rolls. I hate my personality. I hate how I'm not doing good enough in school. I hate how I'm not nearly as talented as other people. I just hate a lot of things about me.

This hate effected me so much that I resorted to self-harming. I began self-harming a little after fifth grade. They were just small cuts using a knife. Knives didn't do much damage yet they did leave marks on the skin for days. Eventually I began using razors from box cutters. They were still fairly small cuts, but a lot of small cuts. Eventually I learned a new technique for the blade to go in deeper, making scars last longer on the skin. These were just on my wrists. I began cutting my thighs when I was fourteen. I have cut words into my thighs many times. At a point, I have cut my stomach. I have not used the self harm methods of burning and bruising myself yet. I still to this point self harm. 

I often attempt to starve myself. Whenever I fail at doing so, I hate myself so much; sometimes I cut because the shame I feel from failing at starving myself.

I have not attempted suicide once. I'm too much of a coward. Also, I care too much about what others will feel when I'm gone. It hurts me thinking about how my friends Taylor, Inri, Loren, Janeht, and my family would feel if I succeeded in my escape. 

Notice how I use the word escape.

I was only bullied up until middle school; that's when it stopped. It didn't matter if it continued or not; the damage was done.

I'm now in high school and I'm basically a loner. I started off being in a huge social group but after realizing how hard it is being with people you can't trust, my number of friends decreased. I would also like to add that at a point my depression nearly ended my friendship with my best friend Taylor. Taylor and I both started out the same way. We had the same outlook on life and the people in it. Towards the end of the year, she became more happier, or at least she began to smile more instead of openly frown. In her happy conversations about her getting hit on or her making a new friend, I'd say something and it would just bring the whole conversation down and she'd get mad at me. So, I kept my distance. It's a new school year and everything's fine again. Except this year I only have three to five friends. I refer to certain good acquaintances    as "friends" though for short (plus it's not like those people don't mean anything to me, I just don't have a special bond with them like I do with Taylor, Loren, and Inri). 

On the topic of Inri, I only met him last summer (which were my worst days) and he's helped me through some shit without him actually knowing. He just has this really bright and joyful personality. It's like when I'm around him or when I talk to him on the phone his happiness just kinda runs off of him and into me. He's what I needed in my life and I'm so grateful for him being there. As cheesey as this may sound: He's the light in my darkness.

To summarize my anxiety problems: I can't be around a huge group of people without feeling like the whole weight of the world is on my shoulders. I can't walk around in public without feeling like people are talking shit about me. I can't do well in school without feeling like a complete failure. I constantly get anxiety/panic attacks.

This is not all of what lead me to be this way.
Even though I've been through less than what other's has gone through, doesn't mean I don't suffer the same way. It's still painful. It hurts. A lot. I'm trying to cope but sometimes I can't. I contemplate suicide a lot (but then my dumb ass realizes that I don't know how to commit suicide/I don't have the "tools" for it). I can't help it. It's gotten to the point where even the person I care for the most can't even stop me from cutting. But I stay on this world anyway.

I stay because I'm hoping that there's hope for me, if that makes sense.

I want to do so much good.

I like to sing. I can't write songs for shit yet but I can practice and learn.

I want to help people, even if I can't help myself.

I want to be somebody's inspiration. 

No matter what, I want to save someone's life, with or without music. 

I just want to mean something. Not to something huge to the world, but to people. 

Maybe that'll be my escape. 

I hope people don't think I'm a giveaway blog

I'm trying to get reviews together, I promise. I just need my circle lenses soon. ;-; I might do review on the ones I ordered from Honeycolor even though there's so many on the pair I ordered and the ones I got for free from fobbybarbie (there's actually so few reviews from the two pairs I got)

I'm getting my circle lenses soon!

So I ordered a pair of circle lenses, like, over a month ago. I had issues with the shipping because I was one digit off when entering the shipping address. >-< Oopsies.

BUUUUTTT all of that is fixed now!

I also recently won a giveaway recently~ 

Speaking of that: you should check out this chick's blog. I won her giveaway from February. She's sweet and she'll be expecting a little one soon. Her tumblr is also a great quality blog.

Anywhore...

These are the circle lenses I'll be getting

These are Geo Bambi Chocolate (Princess Mimi) from Honeycolor.com

I ordered them in the biggest size they have (I believe they're the only size you can select) which is 15.00 mm in diameter so they're huge considering they're the first pair of circle lenses I've ever had/ordered. On every video review I've seen, they look absolutely stunning. I don't think I'll do a video review on them considering there's so many BUT I might just post one for fun on my blogs. 

So since I won a giveaway (40$ for circle lenses = two pairs of circle lenses) I asked for Geo Bambi Green Apple (Princess Mimi) from fobbybarbie.com. Diameter is also 15.00 mm. 

Have I mentioned how much I really adore the Princess Mimi / Bambi series? I had a hard time deciding whether I should get Green Apple or Grey because they're both so pretty. I decided on green because I was hoping they show good on my dark dark brown eyes versus how the grey would look.

Also from fobbybarbie.com I asked for i-Fairy Ruby Red. As I was typing the name of these lenses I was searching for their diameter (it's not shown on the website) and I just found out that they're 16.2 mm. So, yeah. They're pretty dynamic looking on other people and really huge. I'm sure I'll be pleased with these. 

So this is just a preview of the starting of my circle lenses collection. I just found out the "mall" (is it a mall? Idk. It's like an Asian superstore with other stores in it.) down my street has a store that sells circle lenses. These lenses go up to 17.00 mm so I'm willing to go check that out one day. 

Why

I have no idea what to do with this blog. I seriously don't use it often. x.x

Home remedies review blog?

Sure, why not?

So I tried out the honey + cinnamon remedy that does well at clearing pimples and blemishes and so far no results. But when are you ever going to get fast results with these types of things?
I followed that treatment with the banana + honey + milk facial mask (I added a dash or two of cinnamon because I felt naughty). The mask does wonders with your skin! It smooths and evens out your skin. I keep touching my face because it feels like a baby. ლ(́◉◞౪◟◉‵ლ) huehuehue

Now I feel like doing my make up just because.

So if anybody wants to know the recipe...

Honey and Cinnamon Zit-Zapper

• Two tablespoons of honey (make sure it's a really good natural/organic type of honey but I guess the regular honey you just randomly buy will suffice as well????)
• 1 teaspoon of cinnamon

Banana Milk Honey Facial Mask

Before hand I would like to say that this mask is very liquidy, it will not come out like a paste BUT it won't really drip down your face. 

• 1/2 a banana, mashed
• 1 teaspoon of honey
• I guess a tablespoon or two of milk??? I never really know the exact measurements I put of milk

If you're daring like me, add a dash or two of cinnamon. *o*

Now I'm off to do my makeup just for the heck of it

This blog is a work in progress.

I really don't know how I'll keep up with this and tumblr >-<
