Gothic 3tones Sapphire Lens Review

This post seems delayed, doesn't it?

Sorry about that!

So today,

I'm going to be reviewing...

Gothic 3tones Sapphire

One lens

Both lens

Information:

Color: Blue

Diameter: 14.5mm

Water content: 38%

Base curve: 8.6mm

Manufacturer: G&G/ Dueba

Duration: 12 months/1 year

Design and Color: 4/5

These lens are really pretty! I love the pale blue that they are in their lens case. The design is the same as my other ones, the Gothic 3tones Turquoise lens. It gives a really natural effect from afar, which is great for me because I tend to like the more natural designs than the ones that may be for costumes.

When I put the lens on, I noticed that the lens was not a pale blue color anymore. It is more of a nice light blue. I don't mind it either way, but I was kind of hoping for the pale blue to be its color on my eyes. Nevertheless, I'm still very happy with this series!

Enlargement: 3.5/5

Since these lens are 14.5mm with no significant black/brown outer ring (instead, it has a grey-ish color for an outer ring), it is not hugely enlarging. I find it unique and like how it blends well. The lens aren't too big in my eye, which is great because I don't have to wear too much makeup on days that I am sensitive or lazy, haha!

Comfort: 3.5/5

It was a little strange when I soaked these lens for a night and then tried them on. I had one very comfortable lens while the other one felt like it was poking the side of my eye. I immediately took it out and search for any scratches, cuts or defects in the lens itself, then looked if there was anything in my eye. I didn't find anything, so I changed the lens case instead. It turned out that the lens case had something in it and was causing the lens to seem defective.

Now that the problem is solved, I feel no discomfort at all with these lenses. I do not need eye drops for the entire day, and that is a great thing.

Overall: 3.5/5

The Gothic 3tone series are something I would definitely recommend for those who want some enlargement and color change, but not to look super dolly or alien-like. The color can be very subtle in some eyes, so this series may not be for everyone. I particularly enjoy how natural it looks without being too over the top when I am out in public.

This is a picture with moderate lighting. You can see that the color of the lens can vary in different types of light.

I hope you found some good information about these lens (^_^)/

LIZ LISA in Little Japan Town

Yesterday,

Was my day off

So I went to Little Japan Town in San Francisco

It was strange

Because there were barely any people in the stores

So I chatted with the employees for a while

People are nice there

I'm sure that they are used to seeing tourists and sometimes locals

San Francisco is a really big place! w w w

I went to New People first

Right now, there is a LIZ LISA Pop Up Store there!

They are featuring the line TRALALA right now

I was kind of shocked at the prices though

I'm not used to seeing LIZ LISA clothing for more than 7,000 yen.

This time, the average cost for a print t-shirt is 54 USD!!

UOAAH It's really expensive here

But the store Baby The Stars Shine Bright

Is even more expensive!

So what you're getting is some pretty high-grade stuff right here

Please come and check it out! They moved two cute Purikura photo booths into New People

So you can take pictures with your new clothes on as well!

After shopping (more like window shopping orz),

I went to lunch:

I was craving eel and tofu, so I ordered a bento

I'm surprised I finished it all

I must have been super hungry or something

As soon as I finished lunch,

I went to the Kinokuniya Bookstore

And bought the newest edition of Ageha Magazine

It's the March edition

It also came with a free skull printed leather pouch!

At Daiso, I picked up some socks

And I looked for some eyelid tape, but it looked like they ran out! (;A;)

Oh well... Maybe next time

Also, I met with friends

So we took pictures together!

It was a fun day!

I should do this more often

Rokoko Pt. 2

Skipping forward,

I didn't finish my music posts yet!

I want to share just one more song that I really love:

It has to be "Midnight Illusion"!

I remember when the song first came out

I wasn't very thrilled that it was for a BL series, but nevertheless I liked the song

That's it for the song postings!

Rokoko Pt.1

I was going back and listening to all the older songs I loved

And I found a bunch from the 1990s and early 2000s!

This was one of my favorite non-Japanese songs of all time:

This is called "Sweet Lullaby"

It is an old folklore song from the Solomon Islands

I really like it because it is calming and the abstract video just amazes me

Next,

This is a song from the artist KOKIA, who is very talented

She can sing traditional Japanese, which is so surprising

It is one of the hardest things to learn, at least, to me

It is titled "Harmony" in English

She sings the lyrics in what a lot of people call backwards

But it is sort of like Pig Latin in Japanese...

She also uses numbers in the beginning to spell out the title of the song

3[C]　25[Y]　15[O]　21[U]　23[W]　1[A]

Cyouwa is Japanese for Harmony

Noses Know

Yesterday,

I was struck with unluckiness!

I broke out on my nose, and it really hurts

The bumps are really hard, even though there are only three of them

They form a triangle w w w w

What bad luck ||orz

I hope they heal soon

I hate having acne or any blemishes on my face

I'm even thinking about covering it with a band aid just because it looks that horrifying to me w

Before the break out, though,

I took a picture of myself in a different angle:

I shaded my nose pretty heavily on the sides

And smiled differently, too

UOAH Look at that clear nose... (;A;)

Let me be back to normal......

Did you know that smiling a different way can change the way your nose looks in a picture?

Try it sometime! You might like it!

Time to Refresh the Page

As my title says,

It's time for renovation!!

Yes, I have changed some words and my banner

Because I recently have been confusing people with my Tumblr/Facebook shop

So, I changed my blog name to KARACON Koumi

Why 'KARACON'?

In Japan, those who are in the know of color contact lens and circle lens have shortened the name to "colorcon"

In Romaji, the word "colorcon" is written as "karacon", hence the renaming of my blog.

Well,

That's all for now!

Making a banner on my primitive computer is very hard work (I used SAI Paint Program).

I still have reviews to write, so I'll

See you in the next post w w w

Allergies Won't Stop Me Now

This is my first spring time in California

I'm dying!! ||orz

Sneezing hurts a lot when there's pressure in the nasal cavity...

Please make sure to take care of yourself this spring!

The pollen is starting to swirl around in the wind

Also,

I got accepted into the semi-finals for going to Germany!

My interview is on February 23rd, 2013

If I am chosen, the deal is that I will be living in Germany for a year

With a host family, of course!

I really want this opportunity

So please support me!!!

I really like Germany; so many of my relatives and friends have gone to visit

I'm jealous w w

I've been studying German for two years (excluding the independent study for three years)

So, I'm really excited to apply for this event!!

I'm sure all of my spending money is going to fashion and food, though w w w w w

Oh, and lots of pictures too

If you would,
Please pray for me to get into the finals
And hopefully be chosen to go!!
