GEO lenses XCM-214 in Brown (review)


Wahahaha! Finally a review! This has been long awaited by a few people that have requested that I write a review on these lenses. Sorry I wasn't able to do it early of last week. I actually had eye surgery to remove stys. (Large oil build up in eyelids. They caused intense pain!) In fact, I couldn't even wear my lenses until I could get these stys removed! Well anyway, it only took a week for me to heal completely. :) Which is a good sign! OKAY! ON TO THE REVIEW:

To your left is a close up of the lenses. GEO XCM-214 in Brown has a diameter of 14.8

STATS:
Enlargement: 10/10. Where did the whites of my eyes go?!
Color: 7/10. You get what you see. They're dark brown and more visible in light.
Comfortable: 10/10. NO PAIN! <3 onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjibGkWZGoqNs0LveCJiu1lxvkkiH1t3fLK3YTYZLFF_DH5CXSHwEJON-9WehyqWc9MQM_SxKeetfL0QNhXbCDOC4obf-dyMSpCq0H61_A2nL6cKGlMw5Kx5re9R_2qflWtCKeOXdHtpL4d/s1600/IMG_0114.JPG">(Pretty bad photo...lol.)
Anyways, you can see how brown they are! In natural light:
They look a little gray/brown. Hehe!

In conclusion, their color is okay! If you're looking for more color though, you probably should check out the rest of GEO's stuff.

Normally when I wear lenses, I always feel funny and it's like a feel something on my eye...I know that isn't supposed to happen and these are first pair to tell me so!

OVERALL RATING: 9/10
These are definitely lenses I would recommend. In fact, I would recommend any of GEO's products!

Where did I get these lenses?

Rating: 7/10

This seller sells them for $16 total. Yes, that's right. $16. The problem with this though is that she one mans the entire site and therefore, shipping takes 2-3 months! So if you can wait, I suggest this site. If not, find a different site. There are sites that sell the lenses for $20 with a case and ship 2-3 weeks later. I'm just too cheap to do so...Anyways, I already got a case! =P Though she only supplies GEO, she has the latest GEO products and GEO is a very trusted brand. :) I might try a different one later...

Well anyways, that concludes this review! Have a sweet week. :)

Friday & Saturday Reminiscence

After school on Friday, I met up with my friend Clarbear. :) He's my friend from the guild on WoW and we just hanged out. He's leaving for AZ on Tuesday so I wanted to say good bye before he left! I left around 5:40 PM from Prudential Centre so I could catch a train back to school for Music Night. The weather was also really warm! It normally doesn't hit 70 degrees at the beginning of May/end of April. So, I took advantage and wore plaid shorts (one of the two things I own from AE! They're really comfortable too) with black leggings underneath. I always find my outfits to be really colorful. Maybe it's because of my shoes? (They've got like 8 colors going on...)

On Friday, it was Music Night at my school which is when the bands in the music wing (7th grade, 8th grade, junior, senior, jazz etc.) perform for parents, faculty, and friends! It happens twice a school year and it is a major event because everyone works months in ahead to prepare pieces. It lasted from 7 PM to around 9:30 PM. I played 1st clarinet for the junior band that day and it was a lot of fun! I made 3 squeaks, but I doubt anyone noticed...(Hopefully).

I was wearing a green dress with white heels. Normally, people always wear something black and white, but I chose this dress mainly out of laziness...I was too lazy to go looking for a black skirt and wearing a long black skirt on such a warm afternoon didn't work for me! I thought I would be the odd one out, but some other girls wore colorful floral dresses while the others wore the usual getup! Honestly, I wouldn't have minded if I was the only girl in color. Sure, I'd look like I wasn't paying attention during attire directions, but that doesn't bother me. :) I'd just to have pwn them with my clarinet skills!

After we performed, I chilled on the 3rd floor with my friend Eva. We sat around eating Chinese food and doing some last minute homework. I always run around the 3rd floor without shoes during Music Night. 1.) No one is up there. 2.) It's just not a comfortable life in heels...Anyway, we had fun just chilling out upstairs!

Yesterday was my friend Melly's birthday party and it was pokemon themed. :) It was a lot of fun! We used small water guns and started spraying each other in the 70 degree weather so it was definitely refreshing in her yard! Also, Melly decorated pokeballs with her sister, Lucia, the day before and we played pokemon trivia. (of course she would win...:) ) We mainly sat around lazily and chatted! Her birthday cake and the cupcakes were AMAZING. They were decorated like huge pokeballs!!! Oh the jealousy...and the cake was absolutely delicious! Normally, I don't like to eat normal baked cakes and only satisfy with ice cream cakes...but it was so good I had to eat it...and when I got home, I wasn't surprised to see that I gained a few pounds. :) So, it was a great day.

During Saturday, I also wore white shorts. I really like wearing shorts? Noo, not really. I just rarely find the opportunity to! Actually, I'm really self conscious about the size of my legs, but I recently had an intervention while looking in the mirror: I'm not in bad shape. In fact, I'm still skinny. My family normally jokes with me about being fat, and it's not supposed to get me down...but maybe psychology had its way with me and I felt indirectly affected to lose weight? Now, whatever! I'm fine the way I am and I do believe I need to work out to gain muscle--not to lose weight. So now, I wear skirts or shorts whenever the weather hits 70! Hopefully, I'll be able to go to the beach this year too. Haven't been there in forever!

AND ONE LAST IMPORTANT BIT OF NEWS!:
Boston, MA is completely out of water. How? From what I heard, a pipe accidentally broke and the chemicals were mixed in with the ENTIRE water supply of the city and other towns near it. Omg. We have to boil all the water we use which means no baths, no washing dishes, not water powered machinery...We live in a city of scientists! Does the city really expect us citizens to just sit back and drink beer like the 1600s? No. Now the super markets are going crazy; they're running out of bottled water! In fact, my family bought 5 packs! Damn...

I also have one request to post a review about my circle lenses. (XCM214.) They are the dark brown 14.8 circle lens from GEO, but recently, GEO came out with colored version of 14.8 and 14.7 black circle lens!!! Anyways, I'll get around to that review during next week. Pictures and possibly a video! ( if I'm not lazy >.>)

Hit lvl 80!!

World of Warcraft related post!

I was working on my alt character, Savyna and she hit lvl 80 on Sunday! Hip hip hurray! :)
Server: Shadowmoon (Alliance)
Lvl 80 Amykinz gnome warlock
Lvl 80 Savyna Night Elf druid. (resto/feral dps)

I used to be horde, but my guild Darkest Legacy faction changed because there are way too many d-bag horde members on our server. :( Anyways, this gave them a chance to do some proper ganking. I also have a few on my hit list...

Anyways, yesterday I grinded for every single heroic except for Halls of Reflection. (Can I really even try to attempt that for a 3k gear score? Not even!) The elemental shaman practically helped me heal through Pit of Saron. I caught him chain healing during the last boss! Can't complain; at least I got the staff from the last boss. :) Well anyway, you can imagine how terribly tired I was by the end of the day...I went to bed at 11:33 PM and fell right asleep.

My guild mates also hit lvl 80 with me on Sunday: Derum and Zeplike. I assume these two know each other in real life. Derum makes fun of me all the time LOL. Zeplike is very nice though! Druid power :D

I feel like I've really bonded with the guild for the past week. I've talked on vent and guild chat a lot. I've also grouped up with my mates many times for heroics and a few times for raids. I love 'em. :)

On an unrelated note, I watched Lord of the Rings: Fellowship on Sunday night also. Ahhhh. I was AMAZED! I watched once when I was around 8 years old so I had no idea what was going on. Now, I understand very much and I just appreciate it even more. In fact, my dreams were full of epic battles of Middle Earth...I even woke up twice because I thought there were arrows being shot at me LOL. When I close my eyes, I see Orlando Bloom's delicious Elvin locks. Ahhh~!

Reading the above post, I feel extremely nerdy. LOL

Quick Teasing!

So after cutting my hair, I didn't waste any time! I looked through lots of hair teasing videos to achieve visual kei hair, scene hair, and crazy Asian hair sprinkled with awesomeness! Tomorrow, I have declamation so I plan on doing a simple teasing. :D
Here is a wonderful user with great visual kei hair tutorials: http://www.youtube.com/cakdel
Watching her videos really gave me the inspiration to tease and so I learned! The problem with teasing is obviously the fact that your purposely making your hair full of knots for the exchange of volume! This would be pretty problematic...Also, teasing requires you to move the comb very quickly which could cause you to snap at your hair causing breakage and the uneventful split ends! Be careful!

Right now, my throat feels very...throaty? In other words, I feel sick. I noticed everyone in school has been down with at least one illness. I had an itchy throat, then a throat filled with mucus, and then a dry throat, and then a stuffy nose, and then it's back to a dry throat again.../Sigh. This happens at the beginning of spring every year! It gets annoying and it doesn't help that everyone else has the same problem around here. :( That also refers back to declamation...How am I supposed to enunciate with a dry throat?! Ahhhh, the horrible timing!!! Drats!

AB & Hair cut!

I'm so late! Here's a picture of the dress that I wore for Anime Boston:
It was really comfortable and I really liked the lace designs all over it. :) As for my makeup and hair, I just curled it in the morning and used simple black eyeshadow on my lids and under my eyes. When I left the convention center, SO many people gave me odd looks! (laughs) I passed by a 3 year old with her mom and she said, "Look Mommy! It's a real kitty!" She was referring to my cat ears!!! Best 3 year old ever.

Anyways, I had such a wonderful time! I glomped so many pokemon like a true fangirl! :) It was definitely the best AnimeBoston I've ever had. I even met one of the best World of Warcraft players in the world! He's one of the smartest men that walk the planet and he's hilarious! His wife must be lucky! Wahaha! So, he gave us tips on how to play our warlocks and I copied his talent tree for destruction. He's practically God in my eyes....The saddest part is I don't even remember his name...(Dies)

Onto the next topic:

I cut my own hair! Yes that's right! I followed this brilliant youtuber, x3haha, at cutting a mullet hairstyle! I also went ahead and started snipping at my hair and added some bangs!

Wahaha! This was me snipping my bangs last night. Here is this morning when I cut the mullet:
Well, this is an okay example. I promise it looks more like a leaf in real life! :)
This is the first time I've ever cut my hair by myself so I'm extremely satisfied compared to my old hair where I just clip a section up and call it bangs! Ahahaha...Anyways, I'm very happy with the result. It's not a perfect mullet; it's still very choppy and the layers aren't super distinctive from each other, but that's okay! I'll do better next time (maybe).

Here is a link to x3haha's video on how to cut the mullet. It takes her around 5 minutes...It took me 1 hour and 30 minutes! LOL. Well, what can I say? I have think hair! ;D (excuses excuses...) By the way, my hair is shorter than her's, but she's very concise and it's such an easy tutorial! Definitely my new favorite hair guru!

AB IS TOMORROW!


My excitement is jumping off the walls right now! I'm packing my supplies for tomorrow and all my junk! :) (Extreme happiness!)

On a side note, I bought Covergirl Lashblast Mascara and Covergirl smokyshadow blast in Onyx Smoke yesterday.

Covergirl Lastblast Mascara:
This is by far the best mascara I have ever used before! In fact, you don't even need to curl your lashes before using this. It's just amazing on its own. Also, there's no clumping! I also like the case. It's not difficult to remove either! The one problem is that you need to stay away from water or else it'll smear all over! Of course, that applies to non-waterproof mascaras of any type. This is just the best one I've used so far!
This product is pretty famous and I think it's one of Covergirl's most prized products. A lot of celebs swear by this mascara and a lot of reviewers tend to like it too! I'm certainly one of them. :)



I really liked the feel of the smokyshadow blasts. The nice thing about this is that it's packed like lipstick for your eyes! You turn the tube and more comes out! :) The colors glide on very nicely and they look pretty together. The only problem is that if you put a lot of force into it, you might end up breaking the stick, so don't use too much force with these sticks.

These are a nice and easy way to do your eyes very quickly. It doesn't take any brush and it's so quick and painless! :) You can carry it anywhere without it even looking like makeup. in fact, it looks like a duel-wielded crayon!

Back to business! Anime Boston! Yes! I'll soon post pictures of the dress and a few cosplayers that I will be seeing tomorrow <3 Fun stuff!

Getting Ready for AB!

Yesss! I know, I know. It's still 3 weeks away, but I can't contain my excitement!


Anime Boston is a large New England anime convention hosted in Boston, MA. I've attended every convention for 3 years and this will be my 4th time going there! Anime conventions have always been excitement for me :). I love looking at the cosplayers and being able to make friends with everyone at the convention! It seems that everyone who goes is almost a part of a long distance family. Not to mention, it's a huge convention center which means that there is always a lot of people.

This year, I will be in a brand new gothic lolita dress. Last year, I dressed in black with white ribbons which I got from an ebay seller for $38. This year, I got a beautiful white dress with black ribbons and lace trimmings for $12!! :) I'm very happy. I definitely suggest ebay for any sort of costumes that you might want. I also use ebay to shop for Korean/japanese inspired clothing. It's a lot cheaper than the brandname websites, but they look the same!

As for hair and makeup, I will be putting my hair up in nice himegyaru curls~! For makeup, I will be following Michelle Phan's Tim Burton look on YT. If you haven't seen Michelle Phan's videos, you're missing ou on a lot of life! :) (www.youtube.com/user/MichellePhan) She's extremely inspirational and has changed my view on makeup.

Now on to the topic of SHOES....I don't want to have to resort to silver sandals with a pure white dress...

I also need a pair of thigh high socks...hmmm....

Lots of thinking to do! Ah well, I've got 3 weeks. :)
