[♥ REVIEW ♥] Kimchi Viva Blue Lens(○゜ε^○)

Hello ♪ How is everyone doing?
Today I'll be reviewing the Kimchi Viva Blue circle lens I bought from lensvillage!
I haven't camwhored with my camera for so long it felt so awkward taking selfies lol, like I forgot how to smile and which angles make me less derp :s

KIMCHI VIVA BLUE Circle Lens
Get them HERE from lensvillage.com

Information:
Price: $19.00 USD
Diameter: 16mm
Base Curve: 8.6mm
Water Content: 55%
Life Span: 1 Year
Power Range: -0.00 to -8.50

Color/Design [☆]: Meh, it's okay. I bought these lenses thinking it'd be more vibrant and blue. Sadly, the color of the lens is a true deep blue, fairly dark as like most blue lenses. It does produce a halo effect because of the big diameter which I like. However, theres not a lot of the blue color covering my eyes, and the limbal ring is pretty thick so it's hard to see the color far away. The design is simple and blends well into my eyes. It works I guess but nothing really special. It does create a reflective/glass-eye effect under certain lighting. I'd like it more if it was lighter and bluer though.

Enlargement [★]: I mainly like these lenses for enlargement effect. It has a thick limbal ring and a fairly dark blue color, creating biig dolly eyes. Plus it is 16mm! The best thing is it doesn't look too unnatural/alien-like even with minimal makeup.

Comfort []: Given it has a 55% water content, my eyes are still hopeless ;___; Sometimes one eye would hurt while the other feels fine. I can last around 4-5 hours with eyedrops before I feel the need to give up and go back to glasses lol. More than 5 hours, it can get uncomfortable (but not impossible! Reason why my eyes are dying lol). In my opinion the comfort for these lenses are average, basically what you would expect from wearing circle lens -- never perfectly comfortable but not necessary unbearable.

Overall [☆]: I normally wear these lens when I want big dolly eyes. They are very wearable and natural for their color and size! However, it doesn't give you the true blue eyes I was hoping for, more of a dull darker blue (my eyes are really dark, almost black). I do like them though, mainly for enlargement and naturalness, but I'm sure there are better lenses out there for blue dolly eyes.

I'd recommend these lenses for people looking for daily blue lenses with enlarging effect.

Gojira Last Weekend ((( ;꒪Д꒪))) \m/

Hi lovelies, how was your weekend?
Mine was absolutely amazing.

Last weekend = Huge house party + Gojira night + Alcohol recovery in Downtown

On Friday, I met up with bf after class to go to Moe's place for house party because he has a keg of Cariboo. Most of the parties with these guys ends up as a videogame/sausage fest lol so I didn't know what to expect. Surprisingly A LOOOOOT of people turned up. Literally had to squeeze past people to walk! There was a lot of people from my old dorm so it was nice to see so many familiar faces. Normally, while everyone's having a good time, I would get so awkward and quiet around people I don't know that I end up playing on my phone wishing the night will pass quickly or do useless things like drinking out of boredom, reapplying makeup or unnecessary cig breaks lol. But it was a good night, I felt more comfortable with "the bros/guys".


Saturday was big!! Gojira, a french death metal band, played at the Vogue Theatre in Downtown. I got to see them with my bf, Jordo, Chase and Mitch. Can I just say, how flipping awesome those few hours was?!? The show was sold out and it was packed with people! It started out with Devin Townsend Project as the opening band. Not my taste at all ugh. Very "epic" and soft.
My last order from DreamV! I was deciding on the red or black but I'm glad I got the black now :) I really like white text on black. It fits me so well it creates great detailing around the bust when you zip it up
This is what I wore to the show, which is basically the other half of my wardrobe lol. If I'm not dressing sweet, my other half is this metalhead style. Sorry for the iPhone quality pics though.
I'm really loving how DreamV stays ontop of upcoming trends like oraora. I love the oraora-metal look as they are pretty similar: Raw, black and simple, with some sexy glamourous and tons of badass!
You can see my Bloodbath tank peaking through! Didn't particularly liked my makeup that day though :/
During intermission, the guys were discussing where to "keep me safe" while they're gone in the mosh pit lol. They were deciding whether to take turns moshing -__- or make me sit by Chase's dad (he's a huge metal fan, for decades LOL pretty cool he also wanted to see Gojira). I told them I don't need to be babysit and they should enjoy themselves! I didn't feel "unsafe", actually I was pretty comfortable by myself if the guys went to mosh but it's pretty adorable having the guys fuss about it :p Especially Jordo is super protective! He's like an older brother I always wish I had haha. We were chatting in a group, and he'd stand behind me to block some other guys who were checking me out. Mitch on the other hand was all "I'll come back [from the mosh pit] time to time okay? You'll be safe." and he'd hug/rub against my spine and in my head I was thinking "Okay. No. This is too close. What are you doing."
 
Anyway Gojira played with a dozen amps and a kickass godly drumset. Oh my glob. Everything was perfect. The guys went straight to moshing and I ended up having to hold their sweaty t-shirts haha. But in the end I managed to shuffle to the front row!! They played a few extra songs and even stage dived into the crowd at the end :D Such a good connection between the fans and the band!
They snapped this photo at the end before jumping into the crowds :'D
After the show we went to Omar's place at the frat house. Mostly because the guys wanted to drink and the frats ALWAYS have a keg or two lying around like a water fountain lol. We met up with a few more friends, smoked and chilled, everyone was already out of it before we got there lol. I met Omar's new roommate called Nick! He's from Hong Kong too and knows a few of my highschool friends ^^ It was pretty cool we talked a lot. In the meanwhile, the guys were doing keg stands and chugging semi-flat beer haha. By the end of the night, Mitch peaced out with one of his friends, Jordo was wasted and my bf sniffed some adderall :S I was in such a cranky mood because I didn't like the idea of Sergei mixing stuff with alcohol and ohmygod so tired.

On the way home, the guys were on chaos mode LOL. Popping balloons and flipping signs, doing front flips and hurting themselves, Jordo piggybacked me and chased after Sergei, Chase recording the whole thing hahaha we are kids at heart. We got home and more shit went down. My roommate wasn't happy at all ugh. We all just wanted to get home, pass out and sleep, no fuss at all because we were all so so tired, it's like 5am! But she's really uptight with guest rules and almost wanted to kick them out of our apartment. Heck I don't mind if they all cram in my small room instead of our living room just to make her happy, but I am definitely not going to kick them out. When she came to complain to me I could see in my bf's face he wanted to bitchslap her so bad LOL I wouldn't blame him. When I woke up she texted me she's gone out for lunch but by the time she comes back, she "expect them to be gone". Sigh >.> I guess we're ok now but so much tension the days after. Ugh whatever :S

So before Jordo and Chase went back home we went to eat at Ukrainian Village in Downtown. Basically just Ukrainian/Russian homemade-style food. It was okay, pretty much what my bf's grandma cooks when I visit his place lol. I ordered perogies, sausages and dessert Russian Napoleon Cake. IT WAS SO GOOOOOD. Hands down best Napoleon Cake I've ever had. Okay.

I loved it.
