More Circle Lenses

Just a quickie!
Here's the other pair of Geo lenses from Asian Fashion City. These are the Geo Angel Browns. According to Asian Fashion City, the difference with the Angels and Nudy is the Angels have a black rim on the outer edges of the lenses while the Nudy ones don't. The Nudy lenses are also lighter, which I suppose means more natural.
I hate to have a complaint about these lenses, but they didn't stay centered very well. If I look all the way left/right, I can feel the lenses moving. Other than that they look quite natural and you only notice your lenses if you look closer imo. I don't think these really make my eyes that much bigger, but it gives them that bit of somethin somethin.

Eye makeup is JS jelly eye color in 08 and 01 and lined with MM Neo Automatic Liner in BK911. The JS e/s are very vibrant and pigmented, but I noticed that they faded after a few hours =/

I went to On The Border again for some Tex Mex food, so tasty.
I'm gonna miss this restaurant, Toronto doesn't have a nice selection of Tex Mex food..not that I know of at least.

Mister Donut!


Eri, Begsbee, and Alice, nominated me to do the Meme award =) (i hope I didn't forget anyone!) I'm sooo far and behind on this haha, so I don't even know who's been tagged and did it.

Award Rules:
1. Acknowledge the person who gave the award.
2. Nominate seven other blogs.
3. Share seven personality traits so we can get to know you better.

1. I'm lazy - terrible thing...because Tim isn't and he gets annoyed when I "forget" to do things like wash the dishes or do the laundry
2. I talk a lot - is that a trait? if there's something that sparks my interest, I tend to talk too much
3. I complain a wee bit too much - I'm trying to improve on this XD
4. I over analyze things - like if someone said this, did they really mean otherwise?
5. I can be quite loud
6. I love laughing, but who doesn't right?!
7. I baby talk whenever I see animals, esp baby ones...then I give them names. For example, the new baby pygmy hippo at Ueno Zoo in Tokyo, I started to say..in a baby tone, "Awww..look at the cute baby hippa-potta-mus! He sh-ooo cuuuu-teee!!!"

Funkiimonkee tagged me for 10 things I love a while back =D

Current Cleansers

I feel like I change cleansers brands so much, but in actual fact, I probably use the same ones for at least 2 months.
This time, my cleansers have changed from the Orbis Cleansing Liquid to the Hanskin Cleansing Oil Black Head and from Orbis Mild Cleaser to the Softymo Airy Whip.

The Hanskin oil comes in a hard plastic pump bottle with 200mL of product. It's like your typical oil cleanser, nothing too special. It has a slight citrus scent to it and that's about it.
Compared to the Orbis Cleansing Liquid, the Hanskin doesn't wash off as clean. My skin feels a bit oil afterwards so I follow up with a facial cleanser (I always do anyway).
I prefer the Orbis over Hanskin because Orbis washes off cleaner and doesn't have a scent to it.

As for the Softymo Airy Whip, I first saw this on the Muse's blog. I've been wanting this for a long time already but Adambeauty does not ship aerosol cans overseas.
Airy Whip is pretty much a standard facial cleanser except it comes out like mousse. I like how it's kinda pre-lathered up for you. The mousse is dense and really holds up, even when you massage it on your face a few times.
It's got a pleasant fragrance, almost floraly and not too strong. The product rinses off clean without drying out my skin.
There's 180g of product and if you ever have a chance to order or get someone to do a CP for you, you should try this out. Not expensive either, I got 2 bottles at $35HKD each.

Here are just a few pictures from Japan, most of the pictures are on Tim's laptop.
Ayu is plastered everywhere in Japan! It got me excited haha.
This is the outside of a drugstore in Tokyo. I love how they have all the cosmetics I want in one store AND with no SA to be a bitch about it!
Can anyone tell me what this is?? All I know is, there are tons of these kinds of ad trucks driving around, but this particular one got me wondering.

ST: My Newest Love

I finally got me my Samantha Thavasa purse in Tokyo! I kept seeing these in the Vivi magazines and couldn't wait till I found one of the stores.
I believe Samantha Thavasa is only limited to Japan and New York. I only found one store available from the US site and on the Japanese sites, there's plenty of em. Some big celebrities have advertised for the brand in Vivi, such as Paris and Nicky Hilton, Beyonce and Solange, Jennifer Lopez and I think Victoria Beckham.







The bags are just so gorgeous. The range from casual to more dressy, and with a variety of wallets as well.
I got one of the newest purses which is advertised int he Vivi magazine as well as Beyonce.
Ah..my precious 285yen purse, the most expensive accessory I've ever purchased.
I love the design on this. The inside has the same design, except the words are black with a white background. This comes with a small clutch that's attached to the bag.
I forgot to take a picture of the inside and I probably won't remember since I won't be using it in Korea. I just can't stand all the pushing and shoving so I don't wanna risk ruining my bag.
The arrow just points to the same one from Vivi, except in pink.

There's another one I want so badly, but this time it'll be easier for me to go to NYC to get it.
When I have enough money again... XD

I also got Ayumi's 10th Anniversary book from Japan. It's got a bunch of supposedly never before seen photos and messages from Ayu. I think it's also sponsored by Vivi, hence the Vivi written all over and being advertised in the magazine.
I wish I could read Japanese right about now.

Just before I went on vacation, I ate at Marion Crepes at Wangsimni Station and the guy took a Instax picture for the store. I never saw the picture after it finished developing, but here it is now!

I'm waiting for this book to come out in Japan in September, hopefully I'll be able to nab it online or have Tim's dad help me get it from HK.
Don't know who this cat is? It's Maru from Japan!! Check out his blog and YT channel! Super duper cutie!


Please bear with me, I'm slowly reading all the updates and commenting ^__^v
