Amsterdam part.3 - The International Gyaru meet 2013

The day of the meet was a bit stressful, I don't remember exactly what we did the day before but I remember going to bed quite late and getting up feeling stressed and short of time... I was going to curl my hair but I didn't have time for that and I really regret it seeing the pictures from others who has blogged about it :/ but oh well,no point crying over spilled milk ^^


Either way,we got there a bit late,but everyone was waiting (not just for us but for everyone else as well) so there wasn't any trouble finding the place at least. Jeez,I was so nervous and shy. It felt like everyone knew each other and I was an outsider... well,lol I was but you get what I'm saying. So I really tensed up because of it :/


This is the park where we had the picnic

Such a beautiful park, I really loved being here ^^

How's life treatin ya?

So small life update,because I am alive and I've been doing stuff. Irrelevant stuff but stuff nonetheless.

Earlier in June, I was out with mah gurl Xiaoting, I don't have many pictures of the event since we took pictures with her camera and she'd kill me if I'd upload the one picture she took with my new phone so yeah.

I snagged this picture from her post but we both look good here so I see no reason why she would murder me for it.

She looks so cute! I just wanna pinch her cheeks and go "aww<3" sometimes!
I really want those lenses though :O

Princess Pinky Twilight Blue Review

Princess Pinky Twilight Blue

In this post I'll review the PP Twilight Blue circle lenses^^

Diameter: 14.5mm
Water Content: 38%
Base Curve: 8.6mm
Type: 1 year disposal

I bought them from Pinkyparadise for 28,90US$ so they're pretty expensive and they were a hassle to deal with too,since I kept receiving defect lenses in one way or the other.

The first pair I bought,the one for my right eye were defective. I left both of them in the solution for 24hrs,rinsed them and tried them on for the first time. The left eye was ok,it moved around a lot so I tried putting them on the other way and then they stopped moving around so much. The right eye however stung like a razor blade on the eyeball I immediatly took it out,my eye had gotten really irritated by it too,after wearing it less than 20 sec. I thought it was weird,since that had never happened before so I left it in a new solution for a couple of more hours before trying again.
Nope! Still stung like a mofo. So I tried inspecting it for scratches or bulks in the container and such,everything was in order so it was clearly a production defect or sorts. I contacted Pinkyparadise and they sent me a new one after I had taken a couple of pictures for them to verify that they were faulty. The next one was perfect,except one thing. It had a cluster,a small lump on the inside of the lens that felt like it was scratching my eye,it was even visible when held infront of the light. So again I had to ask for a new one from Pinkyparadise. They gladly sent a new one again and the 3's the charm right?
It fit perfectly,no discomfort out of the usual dry eye after a couple of hours.


                                                                   My two cents:

They don't look natural at all,but thats not why I bought them so I'm happy for that. They do have a natural pattern but the color is so strong and resemble's husky with blue eyes they're not fitting for a day at the office,unless you work for Marilyn Manson^^

The first hour,they moved around a lot and felt kinda dry and I could feel I had something foreign on my eyes,I didn't like that. But after that hour or so they stopped feeling foreign and started feeling comfortable like my other lenses.

They do move around a lot,and they're really fragile to the feel I think. Not like Vassen or Geo,so be aware of that when washing them. If they don't stop moving around,try putting them on inside out because they're really hard to determine whats the inside and outside when you have them in your hand.

Bad laptop lighting

The color is strong,it doesnt look toned down in the dark or more vibrant in the sun. they stay the same no matter the lighting,which I think is a plus. However,the bottle says they're 14,5mm but the colored iris diameter is 14mm. I was a bit disappointed in that. Makeup wise,they fit with toned down gyaru looks or people who have no gap between their iris and their lower lash line.

Comfort: 7/10
Color: 10/10   
Enlargement: 5/10
(they make your eyes slightly larger)

Guess that's it for now, I've gotten so many requests to do a tutorial so I'm going to try and do that,however I dont know when it will be up.
I'm going to Amsterdam on tuesday, to visit one of my best friends and getting to know more gals on a meet in Utrecht ^^
Stay tuned though,I've been feeling inspirational lately and I have a lot of helpful posts coming up for all you newbie gals <3

UPDATE!!!!!! For all of you lovely and dear readers,please foloww my blog with bloglovin since the google friendconnect will disappear tomorrow,it would mean a lot to me ^^

Date with Xiaoting and the following week

Last Saturday,not the previous one but the one before that,I met with Xiaoting,a fellow and perhaps a bit more famous Gyaru in the community. We got to know eachother after she hosted a small x-mas workshop in Dec.2012 which I had a lot of fun attending ^^.

I was hoping to meet other gals there but it turned out to be a more intimate evening with just me, Xiaoting, Ingvild and Jannicke but I won't complain, because I did have a lot of fun and I got to know each of the girls a bit more personal then what I would've done if it had been 20 others in the room.

Anyway

We met at Outland (a comic/bookstore that sells popular merch and manga) in Oslo Centralstation, looked at some of the stuff inside Outland and of course I found that moogle cushion I still want-but-is-still-too-expensive-to buy  so we had to depart once more...sigh...
Then we walked to OsloCity and bought ourselves BubbleTea and enjoyed that,while Xiaoting showed me her latest online loot which she had gotten in the mail.

After the BubbleTea we just walked around talking about this and that,looking at some clothing stores along the way. I don't remember precisely when we went there but a positive surprise I noticed were that we had the same taste in many of the things we looked at,especially some shirts at BikBok^^

After that we went to Neo Tokyo ( the ONE japanese store that sells japanese merch,clothes,otaku related stuff,magazines and food) to get my monthly dosage of Ageha. After we had looked through the other things in the store,we left and ran into some of Xiaoting's Lolita friends who were having a Lolita/ Potter meet-up and then we went to Burger King to eat and camw**** for a bit^^.
I've never camw***** in public before so this was a first,and it was FUN! >:D

I think this one is the best of them

My stupid finger in this one :/

Not the best angle for me,but Xiaoting looked so cute here so I'll share it anyway^^

I think we drew some attention to ourselves while we were taking pictures in our little booth,even though we didn't use a flash or were standing on top of the table topless,you know,typical things that would make strangers frown at someones behavior. There were this one woman who kept frowning at us,she was either jelly at our youth or the fact that her husband seemed interested,with the rest of the male's inside the room. JK.. but she were frowning at something.

After we ate,we walked down Karl Johan to Østbanehallen and tried to take some pictures there but the wind were awful so it was a bit difficult trying to take some without looking like a tornado had sweped by. This always happen when a girl fixes her hair,its like a given. For example,the lipgloss/lipstick dilemma: everytime you apply some sticky gue on your lips,your hair is there to get tangled up in them.
While we were figuring out how to take pictures,a stranger walked by and wanted to be in it,a bit surprising and awkward but ok I'll play along,hence this picture.

It was fun though,he was so cheerful and nice and then he took this picture of Xiaoting and me.

Im truly amazed that he managed to take a decent picture of me,first and only try too. Im envying Xiaotings dress in this picture*jelly*

After that we went our separate ways and went home to my birthday party,I havent gotten around to transfer the pictures to my laptop yet so *to be continued*
I had a good time actually,and I got some presents too,some which shouldn't be shown on the blog so I'll leave it at that^^.

I haven't done too much other stuff, I've mostly been preoccupied with lectures and "homework",but some lectures are too comatose-inducing so distractions are easy to come by when you've just recently installed purikura apps on your phone.

Let me show you exhibit Nr.1 :

You don't really see it beneath all the purikura overdose,but I was reading about Don Quixote buut...you know...bored.


 And exhibit Nr.2 :

Yeah,you get my drift ^^

Beside school I've been playing and completing Ni No Kuni and I loved it! I still have the itch to play it,but I don't wanna play the same game over again when I have just recently completed it. Im savoring it for a rainy week ^^ although I've completed Final Fantasy X 8 times... But I never get tired of that game,its my alltime favorite. Still waiting Square Enix...STILL waiting.

Hm whatmore to share...oh!

This recent saturday I went to a dogpark with my "father-in-law"'s dog,Dina
I don't have any pictures of her this time since I was busy not getting rammed by random dogs,running towards me not minding if I were in the way or not.
One of them tried peeing on my Timbalands,and the first reflex I had was to push it over,and so I did. He fell. And I laughed. My poor friend wasn't that lucky,and got peed on,but fortunately came prepared and had some waterproof and winterfriendly clothing on. Here is some other pictures from an earlier visit to the dogpark near our famous Vigelandspark:

The Monolith: centerpiece of Vigelandsparken

Still the Monolith

Btw, Xiaoting's blog is right here

And I guess thats it,hope you enjoyed reading this ^^ It was kinda refreshing and nice being this  open in a post for once, Motoko out <3
