[11] Soooo.... I wanted to take photos but...

 I've been gone since September aha...

/ignores

For Christmas I got an Canon 40mm lens and I wanted to take some pictures. But I never leave the house so I decided to take pictures of my cds 

yayyy

I've always thought that I had quite a decent collection of kpop cds and its true. Its grown a lot since I first started collecting in February 2011. My Grandparents had given me s $100 gift card to Best Buy so like each week a new Super Junior cd was coming. My first ever cd was SJ-M's Perfection Repackaged albums.

More recently though I have started to collect EXO's albums. and my recently I mean I've followed them since the teaser era and I always pre-order their cds so its been like a year+

Lets start with the beginning of EXO...

I know a lot of people do not have these since they are going for around $100 now. I bought my History CD for around $75 because it is slightly damaged on the inside and my What is Love cd was bought for $80. These are pretty cool but after a bought them I was always thinking "Why?"

Buyer's remorse.

But sometimes I look at these and I am really happy that I bought these.

My favorite era ever was the MAMA era. The song, the MV, and the clothes were all awesome and I don't think anything could top it. The album was designed in a very cool way.

After the year-long wait EXO released the XOXO album which is my favourite album song wise. I loved every song that was in this album. 

Since XOXO has most of the songs that are in here other than a few. But the new ones that were included were not my favorite. They didn't appeal to me, and that includes Growl. I admit that Growl is a good song but it is just not my style and XOXO and Lucky are songs that I haven't gotten into yet...

MID is such a cute album. All of the songs are adorable. They really put a lot of time and effort into this album for the fans. Sooo many ballads...

The Luhan MAMA photocard is my favorite. When I first got it and held it I immediately put it back in the album and it didn't register in my mind that it was Luhan's until like five minutes later. Sehun's is the only one that I actually purchased. I also have the group and Sehun for the snowglobe standees for my MID album.

And everything is stuffed in a Madewell shopping bag lol. Everything used to be set up in like a "kpop shrine" format but then there were too many EXO cds and I had my Japanese magazines siting right next to them so I started to run out of room.

I was thinking about switching to a wordpress blog but I don't know where to host... Site5 has pretty cheap rates. I might do it when I finally get a part time job. also the domain is now sehun.org. It used my be my tumblr's domain but tumblr had a hard time loading straight domians so now my tumblr is main.sehun.org because subdomains work. and i also have blog.sehun.org which is more fashion.

[10] Review: Candy Doll New Lip Products, Dolly Wink Eyeshadow, Dolly Wink Cream Eyeshadow, & Shini Star Lip Balm

(Candy Doll Poodle Pink & Pink Grapefruit)

ehehe I should be doing my homework, but why not upload some reviews that should have been done around last year (Shini Star products) and June.

Candy Doll Lipstick in Poodle Pink

I originally bought this because it was limited edition (i'm a sucker for limited edition things) and by the time I wanted it all of them were sold out everywhere. Even ebay. But I managed to find it at thedollyeye.com (still should be instock). Sure, I wasn't really thrilled about the shipping time, but hey, its still in stock and it was free shipping. It took around a month because they first ordered it from Japan and then when they got it they shipped it to me.

On your lips it looks the same as it shows on the stick. Its very pigmented. But like the rest of the Candy Doll lipsticks it drying and I often have to put a layer of lip balm on, and it can make the lipstick application a little uneven. Probably depending on what lip balm you use (I use the Candy Doll Lip Treatment). Overall its is a very good product, but I probably wouldn't buy it again. I'm not a big fan of the color because to me bright light pink lips are kind of hard to wear.

Candy Doll Lipstick in Pink Grapefruit

Overall I prefer to use this lipstick over Candy Doll's Poodle Pink one. This lipstick has more of a red undertone. Its still harder for me to wear but its better. It has the same consistency and quality's of Poodle Pink. I normally use each lipstick to create a gradient effect on my lips. I first put on Poodle Pink on the middle of my lips then blend. Then I put on Pink Grapefruit. Its a pretty stupid idea to use both because when you layer them on top of each other they pretty much look the same. But if you layer them enough you get a lighter to darker gradient.

Candy Doll Lip Treatment

At first I hated this product. I was using the Maybelline Baby Lips and they worked fabulously. But when I used this product it made my lips chapped and it didn't stay on that well. But when my lips got used to the Baby Lips I started using this because this was the only thing I had. After I started regularly using this my lips felt the same way as they did when I was using the Baby Lips. It still doesn't stay on that long, but I do feel the moisturizing aspect to it now.

Etude House Shini Star Lip Balm (Onew, Key, & Minho)

I don't even know what these are. They are like a lip gloss in a lip balm container. They are super glossy when on, but not that sticky. They don't have much of a color change. I think Key's makes most of the difference. My favorite is Onew's. You can see the bottom. I had to stop myself from using it. My least favorite is Key's. IT DOESN'T SMELL LIKE PASSION FRUIT OR FASHION FRUIT OR WHATEVER. It smells like soap. I use this one the most when I do use them because I want to get rid of it faster.

They also don't really moisturize they sorta make my lips chapped. I also have to use a brush to apply this. And then can on them (not Onew's) are really hard to get off.

Dolly Wink Cream Eyeshadow

I used to use this a lot when I didn't have my Urban Decay Primer. I thought this would be a good substitute. Its really not. Without a primer (for me) this often creases, but with a primer it is totally fine. It also doesn't make my eyeshadow as vibrant. Most of the time when I wear this its normally alone. And by alone I mean Primer > Cream Eyeshadow > Eyeliner. Its veryyyyy sparkly but its not like you can feel the pieces of glitter. Overall I really like this product and I want to buy it in the silver color as well.

Dolly Wink Eyeshadow

I honestly only own eyeshadow from Dolly Wink. They are my go to for eye products. (Though I kinda want the Urban Decay Naked Palette). My first every eyeshadow was the Grey/Pink one. Then Blue/Orange. Then Brown. I really want the Pink one but its like $50 everywhere ;~;. Overall these are all super quality eyeshadows and I normally use the Brown one on a regular basis. I do not use the Blue/Orange one a lot because it kinda washes me out. I will always buy Dolly Wink eyeshadow. Foreverrrr

 

I also have Dolly Wink Mascara (Long and Volume), Dior Nude Compact, Shini Star Clear BB Lotion, Skin79 Super+ Perfection BB Cream, Candy Doll Lip Gloss (Passion Pink, Strawberry Pink & Cotton Candy), Tony Moly Tony Tint, and Canmake Candy Wrap Lip (Lady Strawberry). If you want me to review any of them just ask. Though I may or may not be doing some anyways.

[9] Royal Vision: Cinderella Grey Review (Kind of)

[REVIEW]

Cinderella Grey

I wanted to love these and I did for like a week.

and then my contact lens case decided to have a leak and my circle lenses dried up.

$30 down the drain.

These lenses were fabulous.

If you liked the Bambi series but not the 15.0 mm diameter these would be perfect. But they don't have a green or an almond brown color. But they do have grey and brown.

These lenses had the original 14.2 mm size.

I don't have any pictures of them on because they dried up a week after opening and I needed my friends help.

DESIGN: ★★★★★

These look just like the original Bambi series.

ENLARGEMENT: ★★★★☆

They did a very decent job in enlarging considering the fact that they are only 14.2mm.

COLOUR: ★★★☆☆

They blend in right with my original eye color (blue/grey) and the black limbal ring is noticeable making them not really natural just like the other Bambi lenses. The color of these weren't as noticeable due to my eyes being the same color.

COMFORT: ★★★★★

These were VERY comfortable and I miss them dearly, they were even more comfortable than my regular clear lenses.

FINAL SCORE: ★★★★☆

If you have the chance get them. But don't use the contact lens case that they give you. These can be ordered at eyecandys.com.

[8] 4th of July in Big Bear Lake [Fireworks + Random City Snaps]\\\\ ♥♥

I normally celebrate the 4th of July in Big Bear Lake, California but I haven't done so for the last few years. But for my Graduation I got a DSLR and I wanted to take some shots of fireworks but we never go see fireworks in my city. SOOOO... We went to Big Bear this year.

I always liked walking around Big Bear Lake's "Village". Its full of desserts, coffee shops, and touristy shops. and gummy sharks.

[7] Tiffany & Co. Daisy Locket & Swarovski Neo Wings Necklace

When I first saw the new Great Gatsby movie the day it came out, I fell in love.

 Obviously with the glitz and glamour of it. From the Prada dresses to the Tiffany & Co. jewelry that was used.

This was a movie that I instantly loved.

Shortly after we watched the movie we went to go buy my Grandmother a Mother's Day necklace from Tiffany & Co. And thats where I saw it. A Daisy Locket made for the Great Gatsby/Ziegfeld Collection. The whole store had spots showcasing the jewelry from the collection and even a massive picture of Carey Mulligan who plays Daisy. The Locket that I saw looked massive. It's almost two inches each way. I had to take a picture of it.

  

It was around $800. They also had a medium sized locket which is about an inch each way and that one was around $600 & I liked the engraving better. But still expensive. Which made me sad of course but I knew that I had to have at least something from this collection. But alas it is Tiffany...

But then my graduation came.

And my mom bought me the medium locket. But it was on backorder and I just got it on Wednesday night. So I had a mini photoshoot with it.

Ziegfeld Collection Daisy Locket

heh I was experimenting with different lighting ideas.

The only downfall is that I cannot get it open. I think its because I have really thick nails. It doesn't really bother me though because I never actually use the locket parts of necklaces. I just like them as necklaces.

Also for my Graduation, we got my friend a Swarovski necklace. More specifically the Neo Wings.

These came in a set so I also received one.

 Swarovski Neo Wings

Its too sparkly to take perfect pictures of it...

Normally I don't like anything that Swarovski has. I'm not really into the big necklaces or super sparkly jewelry but this is ok. I probably won't wear it often, but its still beautiful.

Wants from the Great Gatsby Collection

Headband, Detachable Brooch, & Close up.

I also wanted Daisy's Ring/Bracelet thing but I couldn't find a good picture. Carey Mulligan is wearing them in the very first picture.
