tumblr book club

I opened up a tumblr book club!
you can join here-> http://www.thereichenbookfall.tumblr.com/
For the first pick to start off the book clubs opening I found it very hard to settle on one book alone, But I went with the obviously better choice, “Howl’s Moving Castle” by Diana Wynne Jones.

It was such an enchanting and magical novel that Ghibli Studios even made an animated movie adaption of the book.
On another of Jones’ novels, The Merlin Conspiracy, the famous author and writer of Coraline, Good Omens, The Graveyard Book, etc. Neil Gaiman stated she is “the best writer of magic” (what other proof could you possibly need?) so I thought it would be a suiting novel to start the club off on a good note.
Magic novels give me a great sense of nostalgia, growing up with an aunt who is (quite probably) Wiccan and being surrounded by good magic stories from Harry Potter to Merlin they have never failed to fill my soul with a great sense of wonderment.
You can buy the novel for $10.44 CAD or download the free Ebook here I typically suggest purchasing the novel to support the author but sadly Diana passed away on March 26th 2011 due to cancer.
This book is truly the best of her work and a beautiful way to remember this amazing author and her work. If you still want to support Diana and her novels after her passing you can help by donating to cancer research here.
thank-you for reading and enjoy your books :-) I’ll have a new pick up in two weeks

Contact Lense Safety

concerning my last post, I wanted to make sure all of you know how to use circle lenses properly and safely before even considering buying a pair!
if you're looking for a trustworthy guide I suggest this one

http://freyaamane.blogspot.ca/2011/07/circle-lenses-and-all-you-need-to-know_10.html

PLEASE read this before buying a pair and make sure you buy multipurpose ssolution and eye drops as well as your lenses! I cannot stress that enough!!

Pinky Paradise Contact lense review

Hello dearies! a few days ago I ordered some enlarging circle lenses from pinkyparadise.com and I thought I would review them and share them with you~!
I got four pairs in total, GEO Diamond green, Vassen Jewel Gray, Vassen Sweet Eye Violet & GEO princess mimi almond brown.

Let's start off with geo diamond green, this is what the lenses look like when in
Picture
I was a little disappointed with these lenses to be quite honest, I bought them a little before the others so as my first pair of circle lenses they did not give off a good first impression and I was honestly a little discouraged from buying circle lenses again until I took a chance and splurged on the three other pairs which I was much more happy about. the lenses colour doesn't spread completely through the iris, there was a huge space between my pupil and the part of my iris where the contact doens't cover so the lenses are quite obviously fake looking as there is a huge brown circle visible. besides that the coluring is quite dark as to what I expected, my eyes are brown but they are a light hazelish brown
Picture
there's an eye colour chart
Picture
and here's a picture of my eyes.
as you can see they are a very very light shade so there should be no reason why my eyes would darken the lense colour or anything of the sort.
All in all the colur was INCREDIBLY disappointing and I had to stop using the lenses completely because it hurt too much to wear though the water content is the same as my other lenses and they were always put in the right way
Picture
In conclusion I would give these lenses 2/5 based on my experience with them. they were just not worth the money for the wear that I got out of them and the look of them.

Vassen Jewel Gray 

ON A LIGHTER NOTE!
these lenses were absolutely splendid! the colour is superb, I was hesitant to buy gray contacts but I thought I might as well (I had a wee yolo moment and bought way too much stuff) and I am very glad that I did! Tehy are by far my favourite lenses to date and I'm planning on buying the same kind in other colours once I get paid!
Here's what these guys look like while in

as you can see the iris coverage is much better on this pair, theere is only a tiny spot of my iris visible since my pupils were dialated at the time. I think that it looks super cute with the brown speckle regardless! It adds a lot to the eye colour and I think these lenses are just darling! the enlarging effect on these guys is great also, I think that they look the most doll like when in and they look so natural in my eyes for a colour like gray ♥♥♥~!
On a whole I would give these lenses a 5/5 and recommend them to anyone looking to buy circle lenses ☺ they are perfect and I think they will be my go-to lenses for my next lolita meet up!

Vassen Sweet Eye Violet

another spectacular pair of lenses, these ones are very dear and remind me of a ball jointed doll or something 
the colour is a bit darker than what I had hoped for which is why I am only giving them a 4/5 for now but they are incredibly comfortable to wear and they are amazing when paired with a dark brown wig and some darker clothing (makes them look very vibrant!) here's what I would wear with them

I would suggest these for cosplayers as they have very "out there" colours but they're darkened down a bit and look more natural

GEO Princess Mimi Almond Brown

I bought these lenses as just an enlarging lense since my eyes are naturally brown and they did not disappoint ☺
they give a really doll-like look but still stay a very natural tone of brown, here's what they look like in
I originally heard about these particualr lenses when I saw a picture circling around tumblr of fetsu-chan wearing a pair, after I did some digging I found out what kind they were and ordered the same pair
Picture
and while I'm not a Fetsu fan in any way her eyes looked super cute in this picture so I just had to own a pair to try them out with some drawn on freckles!
they're so comfortable too, I was really surprised! I'd give these bad boys a total of 5/5

Over All

Overall I'd give the website 5/5 as the quality, shipping, and prices are very good! I did have some trouble with costumer services when they gave my friend the wrong perscription and I tried getting the lenses exchanged for the ones I had asked for, it's still not settled and I've been trying to get a olf of the company for a few days now to get them exchanged but no dice. It takes me a few emails (usually 11 hours apart form each other) to finally get a response from them but I was very dissapointed for the service customer assistance has given me so far, I really suggest if they email about not having the lenses you ordered in your perscription to just let them cancel the order and reorder another pair off of the website directly instead of through email like they ask! this is how they screwed up my order (they sent me the other pair of lenses but gave me a 0.00 percription instead of the one I asked??) so please please be wise when push comes to shove ♥
good luck ordering and have fun buying your own lenses!!

Creepy-Cute fashion

I thought I would write a little bit about creepy-cute fashion as that is one of the themes of one of my upcoming videos.
for those who don't know what the fashion is, here is a description of creepy-cute:
Creepy-cute fashion is a Japanese street fashion which is exactly what it sounds like; a mix of creepy and cute clothing styles. The fashion style really came into light after the creation of 'Gloomy Bear' a pink cartoon bear that kills people
Picture
Creepy-cute fashion is one of the lesser popular fashions in western society but there are bloggers (like the famous blogger 'Anzujaamu') who wear it quite frequently.
Creepy cute fashion can also fit into the catagory "pastel goth" which is quite more widely known.
I am planning a video in the near future of Creepy-cute fashion, where to buy it, and how to do creepy cute makeup!
for now I thought I would make a wardrobe post of my creepy cute clothes (keep in mind I have only just ordered my creepy cute clothing so it will take awhile for them all to get here, these are just the product promo photos)
