REVIEW: Candy Violet Circle Lens

Hi there! How are you? ~~~ヾ(＾∇＾)おはよー♪

Oggi finalmente recensisco le lenti nuove che mi sono arrivate.
Today finally I do the review about the new lenses I got.

Ecco la loro scheda, le ho comprate da PinkyParadise e spedite con FedEx:
This is their sale form, I bought them from PinkyParadise and shipped them with FedEx service:

Come la scorsa volta, ho usato il coupon "hellocandie" e ho ricevuto questo:
As the last time, I used the "hellocandie" coupon and I got this in the mail:

Lentine nel dettaglio:
Lens in the details:

L'omaggio. Sono dei cuscinetti di gel per sgonfiare gli occhi (in caso di allergia, stress etc), quando li userò farò la review.
Anche stavolta le lenti sono state spedite avvolte nella gommapiuma, sigillate alla perfezione per attutire ogni urto. La FedEx ha consegnato in 7 giorni ESATTI, senza dogana, perciò sono più che soddisfatta.

The gift. They are gel packs to deflate the eyes (in case of allergy, stress, etc.), when I use them I'll do the review.
Here too the lenses were shipped wrapped in foam, sealed to perfection to mitigate any impacts. FedEx has delivered them within 7 days, no customs, so I'm more than satisfied.

Shipping and package: 5/5

Confrontiamo le lenti:
Let's compare the lens:

Eyes without lens

Eyes with SPC Hana Barbie lenses

Eyes with Candy Violet and bright natural light

Eyes with Candy Violet and artificial light 

Eyes with Candy Violet and little light

Il colore è molto bello e si nota abbastanza con la luce, sicuramente più delle mie Kira Kira Blue Circle Lens, ma (a differenza delle Diamond Green Circle Lens) di sera, o comunque con poca luce, si notano poco.
Riguardo alla comodità, sono piuttosto confortevoli, non ho avuto problemi nell'indossarle e ingrandiscono abbastanza.
Eppure, hanno un difetto.

The color is very nice and with the light we can pretty see them, certainly more than my Kira Kira Blue Circle Lens, but (unlike Diamond Green Circle Lens) in the evening, or with low light, you will notice them just a little.
About the comfort, they are quite comfortable, I had no problems and they enlarge the eyes enough.
But they have a flaw.

Vedete quello spazio trasparente sul bordo della lente, dopo l'anello nero? Quelli sono almeno 2mm rubati all'ingrandimento dell'occhio. Tutte le circle lens hanno un bordo trasparente, ma questo è troppo grande. Se fosse stato più piccolo quel bordo, l'effetto dell'ingrandimento sarebbe stato davvero notevole.
Peccato.

Do you see that transparent space on the lens edge, after the black ring? Those are at least 2mm stolen from the eye enlargement. All circle lens have a transparent edge, but this is too large. If that edge was smaller, the enlargement effect would have been truly remarkable.
Too bad.

Comfort: 5/5
Colour: 4/5 (because it doesn't pops out without a bright light)
Enlargement: 4/5 (due to the big transparent edge)


Overall quality: 4.5/5
Price vs Quality: 5/5

Ho assegnato un 5/5 per rapporto qualità/prezzo poichè comunque sono lenti da $22, cioè davvero economiche.
In conclusione le consiglio a chiunque abbia occhi medio/piccoli (non tanto a chi li ha grandi), e a chi cerca lenti non troppo appariscenti.


I gave it a 5/5 for Price vs Quality, because they cost $22, that is really cheap.
In conclusion, I suggest them to anyone with eyes medium / small (not so much to those who have really big eyes), and those who are looking for lenses not too showy.

Ok, now that's all today :3
Bye bye!

Review: DIAMOND GREEN Circle Lenses "Your rhinestone eyes are like factories far away"

Hi guys! Today I will review my new lenses. I bought them in October: they reached Italy in November but customs caught them and released them only now (= _ =;) F*ck customs.

Anyway let's take a look to the lenses:

As you can see I bought them from PinkyParadise, and I used a coupon "hellocandie" to receive a mystery gift and a discount (it was about 0,01€ XD).
I choose international registered airmail, that's why it took 3-4 weeks to arrive in Italy.
This is what I got:

Lenses, lenses case, a voodoo doll phonestrap and a velcro thing to keep your bangs away from your face.
They packed very well my lenses and shipped everything in a bubblewrap envelope:

Shipping and package: 5/5

Here are the lenses:

Eyes without lenses

Eyes with SPC Hana Barbie lenses

Eyes with DIAMOND GREEN lenses

I wore them for a week already. They're soft enought, but I think they don't have a great water content (even if the schedule says 38%) so if you wear them all the day, at the evening you will feel a little uneasy.
The colour is really great, my eyes (normal brown eyes) show the colour a lot IMHO and they have a good enlargement. Maybe a 15.5 mm effect like my Hana Barbie. The design pops out, everyone saw me with those lenses on told me I have beautiful eyes XD
I paid them 20€, I think this is a really good price for those lenses.
I like them really a lot.

Comfort: 4/5
Colour: 5/5
Enlargement: 6/5 (really more than I expected)


Overall quality: 4.5/5
Price vs Quality: 5/5

I suggest them to everyone. I think they will look great in grey *_* If you're looking for cute and big lenses for a special day, I think those are perfect for you!

That's all for now, see you soon for the KOSE Cosmagic Deco Blush Review post!
Bye!

Reset and Restart

Hi everybody ^^
This is my introduction post. It's the third time I made it, I hope this will be the last one xD
So.. What should I say?

I'm Leia, 22 y-o girl from Italy. I'm studying Licterature at university and I should graduate this summer (I hope).
I'm into gyaru since almost 2 years now and I'm still improving >< but yeah I hope to be a good gal one day.
My favourite styles are rokku and agejo, with a bit of goth I suppose. I wear what I want to wear when I want to, so I find hard to focus on one single style. I love d.i.a, MA*RS, Golds Infinity, Glad News and Ghost of Harlem brands, which are also my inspirations. I prefer gaijin gyarus over Japanese gyarus, soon I'll do an inspiration post so I'll explain this better. Anyway I like a lot of gyaru icons like SakuRina, Mipochi, Hideka Tsunematsu, Kanako Kawabata and generally d.i.a staff. SakuRina, anyway, is my forbidden love xD she's just perfect, you know (ahahaha).
I don't read magazines often, I prefer to read blogs for my inspiration, but when I do it I read AGEHA, EGG (LOVE its street snaps!!) and SOUL SISTER. Maybe that's why I love SakuRina, Kanako and Mipochi so much ahahaha xD

What's gyaru to me?
It's a question I see very often, and sometimes I was asked something similar.
Well, for me gyaru is beauty, fashion, self-confidence and fun.
Beauty: some girls still pretend gyaru is JUST hanging out with friends, but you know, you can do it even not dressing gyaru! So how could it be a style point?
No, one of the most important things in this style is beauty. Make up, diet, healthy life, haircare, nailcare, skincare.. Just look at ameblo gyaru blogs. They all talk about their beauty habits AND everyday life. Mipochi often shows her new beauty products and does review, SakuRina shows her new nails, etc. Read them really shows what I mean.
About me, I take care of my "beauty" doing facial masks, hair masks, choosing carefully my beauty and make up products. I'm on diet right now and I exercise regularly.
Sadly I can't have a healthy life (I love alcohol. XD) but I do what I can do xD
Fashion: obviously you need to follow gal fashion. I hate what "normal" trends, usually fashion came up with such horrible trends, like fluo colours in past summer. Gyaru is more original to me and avoids such ugly things like very pointy shoes or, dunno, dresses with dark colours just because it's from the winter collection. Ok, sometimes gyaru brands came with ugly items (like that fugly poodle dress from one*spo, or cheap plastic leather skirts) but usually I think they have good taste and a young, fresh look I never saw anywhere else.
Self-confidence: you know, generally gyaru is about improving your look and beauty.
In the end, when you look into the mirror and see your beautiful clothes, your make up that makes your eyes look bigger and your skin perfect.. I don't know but I just love myself. I feel beautiful, "perfect", the girl I always wanted to be. That's why I think nobody should follow the trend about styles (I mean, every year there's a style which goes for the most: this year is rokku/ora ora, last year was agejo, the year before Liz Lisa/cute style etc) but just choose a style that makes you feel comfortable and "yourself". For example: before gyaru I always dressed goth/rock style, it made me feel good and "right", like a second skin. When I started to try gyaru I choose Liz Lisa style.. It lasted some months, then I slowly moved to rokku because I didn't feel comfortable.. It was simply too far from me.
Gyaru isn't about politic ideas, music or whatever so you can (no, you HAVE TO) be yourself and, I don't know, keep listening to Pantera while doing your make up xDDD
That's what I do. And I feel right and good like never in my life.

Fun: Ok, beside the part "if you like make up and enjoy doing your hair, this style should be A LOT fun for you".. well, it's a style. Style means that other people follow it. And you can meet them, know them and make friends.
I know, gyaru community has a lot of envy, loudmouth bitches, but whatever. I don't care and nobody cares. Bad apples will be always recognised and thrown away before the good ones.
So don't mind them. Enjoy your beauty, your wonderful confidence and have fun.
Open your world, expand your mind and show yourself. Gyaru is just the way, not the matter.

Soooo... After all this blah blah blah I'll show you my "Gyaru Improvement Meme". First months of trying won't be shown since I started on June, not January ahahahah THANKS GOODNESS.


Best make up were in September, when I broke up with my boyfriend AHAHAHAHA no comment. Generally my improvement keep going up and down.. I hope this year will go only up.
July haven't pics since that month I focused on university exams and didn't go out.
What do you think? Any suggestion would be welcome, just write a comment!
See you soon, bye bye
