LensVillage - review!

 みんな の バレンタインデー は どうですか。
Here is a little review on a pair of circle-lenses that I recently got sponsored 

from the online shop:

Lensvillage.com 

Lensvillage is a quite new established webshop that has a wide range of circle lenses and accessories to go with them! They sell real, certified lenses from Korea, so you can be certain that you won´t get rip-offs. This review will discuss these points:

• Contact
• Price 
• Shipping
• Quality & comfort
• Over all rating

The lenses I decided to get was these:

Contact 5/5

I know it might be biased since I was sponsored and thus first contacted by them instead of it being the other way around, but I´d like to add that when they first contacted me, I was quite busy at the time and had no opportunity to properly recieve lenses due to traveling and etc. so I think they were very patient waiting for me and always seemed very nice whenever I spoke with them. Therefore I give them five out of five in contact!

Price 5/5

Again, I didn´t pay for these personally, but I am still able to say that the price for these lenses are quite good. I have seen places charge a bit more for lenses, but also their prices are fair and standardly low, and I think that pushing it under 23$ for a pair of lenses that has a circumference this big is really good! As you can see from the screen shot from their website,
they are able to show you a lot of different valuta-ranges on their website alone!
Definitely owing up to a full five point on price!

Shipping 4/5

This might be due to many things. The postal service in my country can be slow sometimes, but sometimes it might be others mistakes that lead to a bit of waiting. I am not 100% sure of the exact amount of time it took for the lenses to arrive, but I am pretty sure it was around 2 weeks and perhaps a couple of days more than that. It was not bad at all, but still not matching a full five of five in shipping. 

Quality & comfort 4/5

I was really, really excited about these lenses. I have wanted to try out green circle-lenses for a long time, since my eyes are what they call "hazel", but really has mostly green in them with brown thrown on top in the form of stars, so you can´t really tell unless you are quite close... anyway, I wanted to bring out the green more, deciding to go with these lenses. I was set on the light and natural green colour I had seen on the pictures in the website, so I was a bit surprised to see that the lenses I got was a bit darker and more intensely green. So, you could say that these lenses are more for cosplaying or when you really want people to notice your eyes a lot! They quite stand out! However, they feel very natural to wear and you can´t really tell that you are wearing them when you´ve put them on. So, I´ll give them a little minus for the colour being off in sutch a noticeable degree, but as lenses in general they work really great for enlargement and look quite cute. I was even told it made me resemble Rapunzel a bit haha. So, I will give them four out of fice points in quality & comfort!

Do I resemble Rapunzel to you?

And here is a detail picture! The top right one is without makeup and the bottom right one is with!

Over all rating 4.5/5

My over-all rating for these circle lenses is 4.5 points out of 5! I was not 100% happy with the difference in colour, but that is the only issue I can see with these lenses. I am not so bothered by it that it stops me from wearing them, I am quite happy with them by now! I am absolutely sure I will buy from lensvillage again though, because they variety of lenses is really great, and they have really good prices to offer. Also, they have good size-ranges as well and you can get your lenses both with subcrition or without it if you just like wearing lenses for the effect of it! (like me, haha ^^)
So I give them almost a full score in total!

Anyway, I would reccomend having a look at their webshop!

So head over to 

Lensvillage.com

And see for yourself! :-)

Thank you very much for reading, sweetiepies!

+ Magical year of 2014? +

こんにちは

I realize that from now on, I´ll just don´t update my blog appologizing every time I do so... it makes me feel bad, it makes you feel bored, there is no point in it! To be honest, blogging will be hard because I have school and loads of homework to tend to + that I frankly don´t feel like it when I am depressed as much as I acctually am... I just realized though, that the year of 2014, I made a total of 18 updates in a total year!

Frankly, that is just not good enough... I mean, comparing to the year before, when I acctually wrote up to 58 entries throughout the year... we are talking about 40 updates in difference!

 

So, what is the point of this update? 

Well, I thought, I should update about the highlights of 2014, since that is something you should do when a new year comes around, ey? (even though its like a month ago allready ^^" haha)

thing is though, I can only find four events worth mentioning, that I blogged about!

1. Going to britain, seeing BBC, Harry Potter studio tours, Sherlock Holmes museum
2. Going to Scotland visiting my friend Peachie again
3.  Attending the lolita fashion show by Angelic Pretty in sweden
4. Attending the lolita tea-party by Angelic Pretty in sweden

...

and that is about it! 

I am so happy and lucky to have been able to have gone on all of those events, but its not really much to show, after a full year of events right?

Well... I then thought to myself,

"what is my standards of showing things on my blog?" 

it should be interesting, it should appeal to my "theme" and be interesting!

Easy enough, right? 

Well, the thing is, I am a normal human being (in a certain context haha) so life has its fair share of ups and downs! For me though, having been unfortunate enough to struggle with mental health issues on a daily basis, there is mostly downs... I get discouraged and feel like everything about me is boring or the like... but then I read a blog update about "becoming a better blogger" made by the wonderful blogger Kaila over at "the rainbowholic" (go follow her, she has the most inspirational updates, truly! <3) and she mentioned one of the things in her list being "to blog about your interests" and not having your goal be "recognition and fame". I realize that I, without intending it, have been a victim of this thought pattern... I mean, when I started out this blog, I wanted to create something fun and creative, where I could spread inspiration and publish about cute and happy things for others to read! 

Yet, as time went on, more and more of these "kawaii fashion" bloggers came along, and I felt a bit out of place... where I to join the crowd of fashion bloggers and play "safe" or do my own thing? 

I still don´t know the answer to that question, so all I can say is that my blog will probably be a weird hybrid...

Anyway, I now know what I want to do in 2015 with this blog!

I don´t know how or what it will become, and I am still feeling really bad about having made that list of coming entries that never became a reality, but I know one thing:

I will have more entries this year than the last one!

So, in the end I guess all I want to say is 

thank you for sticking with me! And thank you for being so patient,

I hope you will stick with me onwards as well! <3 

HERE IS TO THE FUTURE!

Angelic Pretty event in sweden: part 2 - teaparty!

 

The second day of the event was even more fun than the first day in my opinion!

I was so excited to be able to attend a real teaparty, that I could hardly sleep that night! >v< 

The theme would be chocolate, and the party wouldn´t start until 1:30 pm, so we had plenty of time in the morning to get ready. But I felt so nervous even then!
I didn´t have much accessories to go with my outfit,
but I thought I came up with something ok in the end ^^

What do you think?

I was so lucky as to borrow the entire outfit of Chess Chocolate in brown, with a matching bonnet, from my friend Melva, so I even could match the theme! ;V; yay

It was my first time putting on a bonnet for an actual outfit though, so it was quite new to me!

Ultimately, I actually quite liked it, even though it was a new experience, and I was a bit unsure beforehand. 

Presenting the one and only selfie I got ^^" 

Here you can see the new and beautiful ring I got the day before!

We hurried along, because even after getting ready and stuff we acctually made it just in time for the teaparty to start! >.< We had to take a train once again to get down into Stockholm sentrum, and from there make our way to the same building as before. We were lead to a super cute little room at the end of an aula, where the decorations and furniture looked like antiquities, and the classical music that was playing sounded really beautiful <3

at first we just rushed in, got a pair of pretty decorated pins with numbers on them (for the theme contest and popular choice contest, we later found out) and was seated just in time for it to start. I sat at a table together with Emilia, Amanda, Jennifer and three cute chinese girls! ^^

I think it took me about 10 minutes to realize my actual situation:

and then I got teary-eyed and cried a little bit. This was like a dream come true! I had never experienced a real brand teaparty before and it has always been a dream of mine.

The whole feeling of the setting was so grand and wonderful!

I was in a room with almost 30 other beautifully dressed lolitas who had done their utmost to look spectacular, and the whole feeling was so princessy and fairytale-like I could almost not bear it >.<

There was tea and high-tea assortments and everyone got a tiny gift bag with things like stickers and other cute stationary. At first we just stayed by our own tables, but after a while we mingled and made sure to look at eachothers outfits, to be able to vote for a favourite in the end!
We also took plenty of pictures, and I was sooo amazed by everyones creativity, having handmade so many of their own accessories! 

Typical picture of me... *mindblown* xD
haha... everything was so pretty ;V;

(also, please look at the amazing, handmade headdress of Jennifer next to me O_O)

 Charlotta made that book accessorie by herself!!!

I was so lucky as to get my hands on loads of pictures from the teaparty!
Most of these are taken by either Agnes or Katarina <3 

I tell you, this trip was, if anything, an extremely inspirational trip, it almost felt therapautical in the end and I was overjoyed by the full experience and more or less mindblown all the time. 

Then it was time for the contest!

Two lovely girls from the group got picked by lottery, and one got the first price from popular choice!

They also gave out the main price for the chocolate theme, and it went to the lovely finnish girl

Charlotta, for her amazing chocolate themed outfit! ^0^ So well deserved! She looked stunning! But really, they all did, so I don´t think I would be able to pick a winner >v< hehe

She was sooo lucky winning that jsk! *___*

After this, we went out to take a group picture and some individual shots, and smaller groups shots!

I got to take some with my darling Melva <3 ^^

(We are gonna elope together ;;;-3 )

 I love this one xD <3 

Sadly, only picture I got with my new finnish friends ; ^ ; <3
Katarina looked so amazing in little bears café! She made her staff herself,
and Laura (in the middle) made the trumpet accessorie!

Chess chocolate goodness * V * 

I also just have to post this picture of Amanda and Emilia!

Emilia hand-made that staff herself! *_* And the amazing cocoa-cup and the "eat-me" brooch!

I was sooo impressed with her! And she was only one of the ones that did stuff like that! 

Thanks to Katarina, I got an outfit shot ;V;

Look at the pretty nails Emilia did <3 And my beautiful ring

After this, we were all a bit tired, so we went downstairs to the booths that we had visited the day before, to look at some more of the Angelic Pretty items being sold (since they had started selling some allready the day before). I had already got two super cute hairbows, and a beautiful ring the day before, but this day I decided on another ring and a couple of postcards ^^

I also got another plushie, even though I had decided stricktly to not get more than one haha

In the end we also visited the cute nail-artist girls from Japan, who had done our nails the day before! I wanted to get a nail-art pencil from them, because they had some wonderful stuff they sold ^^

I also got to show of the beautiful nails Emilia had done for me the day before! 

They were sooo cute and even took pictures and stuff! I think they were quite impressed by her skills, and I tell you I felt so princessy with these nails and I felt so lucky she could do them for me!
She is amazing really <3 

We were really tired again that evening, so we decided to go home and meet up with Melva shortly the next day just so we could talk and be together a bit before I had to go home and Melva had to catch her train. 

That evening again, Emilia and I just talked and watched more movies together. I had a lot of time the next day to pack my bags, since I wasn´t leaving for home until around 4 pm, and I only had a small rucksack with me that contained all my stuff for the weekend. 

The next day was really nice. We met up with Melva at a small café and had some tea while just chatting ^^ Me and Emilia even had time to look around a couple of shops before I had to leave. It was funny though, since I had to take my new plushies as handluggage on the airplane, I basically carried around a plastic bag with plushies. Needless to say, it felt a bit awkward when I checked into security-control in the airport ahaha xD 

It was sad saying goodbye to Emilia again. It had been such an amazing weekend, and I will never forget this event. I feel like this time we had even more fun than the last time we met! It is so nice being with her, she is an amazing friend <3

When I finally got home I felt kinda sick for like 3 days afterwards because of the pure exhaustion of all the things having happend throughout the weekend >.< there was just so much going on at all times! And I was kinda mindblown and adrenaline-kicked by the experience, so I didn´t realize how tired I was until afterwards! Went on with my life but was quite tired ^^" 

I will treasure this in my heart always <3 

I hope I will get to experience more things like this!

It is such a long time since I´ve felt so happy <3

Thank you for reading!

I hope you enjoyed my blog update
