Princess Mimi (Bambi Series) Chocolate Brown



   During the weekend, I finally got a chance to wear my Bambi Series Princess Mimi Chocolate Brown. I felt brave and wore these to go shopping! My best friend tried it already and in her opinion it was a really orange brown and was seriously like Twilight. After hearing that, I was a bit scared since I am not a fan of orange brown lens but I bought them already and I'm gettinng into a habit of reviewing any lens I buy. I'm glad I'm starting now since I didn't review any of the lens I bought for 4 years!! (I started lens when I was in 10th grade~so 4 years ago @_@")

Anyways on to my review!!





    I will say, these are way more vibrant compared to the almond brown. While almond brown was a true deep brown, this one is bright brown with (sad to say) an orange tint. It's not very obvious in photos but it's quite bright in real life. I was a bit freaked out of myself since they really did reminded me of Edward and his family's eyes. As the day went on though, I felt more okai about them and plus they were one of the pairs of bambi lens that were actually NOT defective!!! They were quite comfortable but got a little dry at times. It passes my test since I was able to wear it for 11 hours without my eyes dying. (I usually don't wear circle lens for that long)


   These lens are great if you like a really pop out brown and if you don't mind a more reddish orange brown compared to a golden hazel brown. I think these also look quite nice and attractive in photos. Overall these lens aren't bad~I just like the other colors int he Bambi Series more.

RATINGS

Color: 8/10 Vibrant!! (I just don't enjoy the reddish brown color though and I know there are brighter lens out there)
Enlargement: 10/10 Perfect enlargement~I love how round it makes my eyes ^o^
Comfort: 8.8/10 Dry once in a while but nothing eye drops can't solve~Overall quite comfortable!
Overall: 8.9/10 because it's one of the non defective lens that I can actually wear, and a little less points because I don't like red brown but its not that bad~also it's not the most comfortable but 8.9/10 is quite good in my book =D!!

Peachy Keen



After a recent trip to my local MAC, something The Mother has been saying for years finally struck a chord. Not only do I buy too much make up, but I repeatedly buy the same sorts of products. I was looking at the mass amount of blushes available, and was slightly overwhelmed until one of the artists came up and recommended Springsheen. Although I was initially looking for something more bronze, I instantly fell in love with its peachy tones. Money handed over, thank you ma'am.

Only to get home and discover that I had three other almost identical blushes. Doh! At the beginning I was a little miffed, having spent over twenty euro on such a similar product. But then rationalised that its a colour that suits me and as long as I don't buy another one (hopefully) equally similar life is peachy. Yeaah?

So the moral of this story? I should probably invest in a variety of products, but hey, I probably won't need to repurchase for a while!

Do you hoard similar make up? Don't even get me started on eyeshadows..

Nars Orgasm - A peachy pink with shimmer, but not glitter. Believe me, I am not a glitter person; so its fab.

Sleek Rose Gold - Sleek's dupe of Nars Orgasm and they are almost identical. If you have one, you really don't need the other. Oops.

Nars Orgasm Multiple - Ditto. Double Oops.

MAC Springsheen - Although very similar to both the Nars and Sleek blushes, its slightly more of a peach. Again, its probably not a necessity. Triple Oops.

Midsummer in Turku


On Midsummer Eve I traveled to Turku, the city where Jae lives! I stayed at her place for a couple of days. Here are things packed and ready to go! ;D So much pink, white and brown..

Oh by the way.. This post will be super photo spam. I don't know how that happened XD Because we really didn't take much photos. Not as much as usually we take when we hang out together. Here's almost 30 photos in this post now! O.O Hmm~ Maybe it's probably just my own camwhoreing but oh well.. XD


Arrived in Turku! Getting ready to outside take some photos. Jae trolling on background ehehe :-D




Soft focus~~






Turku city!! This is view from Jae's window 8'D Friday was pretty nice and warm day.


Finally we were ready to go out. It was nice to visit some other city that I don't know very well!


Outfits snaps! Loved the pink flowers on background. Flowers spelled a word "Turku" hehe :'D





Shirt ONLY
Skirt & belt Fiorella
Bag Fiorella
Cancan hat Lindex
Sandals Yumetenbo
Bracelet H&M
Necklace Cawaii




I think I use that hat way too often D: I'm like always wearing it in my photos.






Night view from window! Midsummer when the Sun doesn't go down at all. It looks kinda dark still O.O

Okay but what we did most of the time was...


EAT!!! Eat, eat and more eat.




We planned to take photos of everything we ate but we kinda forgot. Besides those we ate chips, ice cream, french fries, mayonnaise, more soda and more escalloped macaroni, noodle soups etc etc.. Can't even remember it all.

On Saturday we just hanged at home without changing our pajamas or brushing our hair XD We watched a lot of movies! Practised some dance (lol if you saw it..), were on computer, played games.. Just were so ugly, fat and sweaty all day :'D But it was much fun!


On Sunday I left back to home. *sad face*
I think my make-up looks nice in this picture. Though I'm looking sad here ahaha.


More happy face here!


Before I left, we had to camwhore more 'cause we didn't do it at all on Saturday.










Jae took me to the railway station and zomg I bought even more candies. In a train I was thinking about how much I have really eaten. It started to disgust me, eww! XD

So I started a diet now. It's 4th day. I think I've been doing pretty well.

Anyways, thanks Jae for a great Midsummer weekend! ♥ Let's have a healthy weekend next time, all right? :'D

Love Express Perfume = l.o.v.e

Ah-hah... I found the "photo booth" on this computer so scratch what I said below! :)

First off... let me say there is nothing more that I dislike then stock photos when reading a blog. I want to see the real deal. However, my computer is in the shop again and my computer guy let me borrow his MacBook Air... and there is no photo port. Boo. So, stock photo it is.

I was at Express yesterday and their new perfume caught my eye and all my senses when I walked into the store. Right as I walked into the store I smelled this divine scent and I gravitated towards the display. I sprayed it about 5 times while in the store but figured I didn't need another perfume... until I got home and all I wanted to do was rush back to Express and buy it.

So, today... it called me back and it's mine all mine. 
It comes in a 1.7 fl oz ($44.90) or the 3.4 ($59.90)... I got the 3.4 because I had a feeling I'd go through the 1.7 too quickly. 

I am not good at describing scents other than it's smells good... really really good. It's a light, girly, fresh and summery kind of scent. 

But, this is how they officially describe it because "really really good" doesn't really tell you much. ha ha

"Notes of Blackberry, Lily of the valley, Tiare Blossom and sheer vanilla musk". Yumm.

Have you had the chance to check this out yet? No? What are you waiting for then??


LOVE,
SARAH







Big Hair Woes and New Clothes

As many of you probably know, or have realized after reading my blog...I have huge hair. It's just HUGE. That's pretty much the #1 adjective I use to describe it. So I decided to take a before and after picture of my gigantic hair (pre-straightening) to prove to ya'll just how big it is! (WARNING: Big hair picture may scare young children.) Just kidding...but really.

BEFORE 
(As you can see, even I was in shock)
AFTER
(Thank THE LORD for creating straighteners. I wouldn't be who I am today without them)
 In other news...yesterday, after 4 HOURS of shopping in Forever 21 with Laura, I left with a full shopping bag and a big smile! I mean, who doesn't love new clothes? Lately sheer and silky tunic blouses have been all the rage in the fashion world! Bloggers such as Rumi Neely from fashiontoast ...
Andy Torres from Style Scrapbook
And even celebrities like Heidi Klum have been sporting this new trend!
You can also click this link and see where my beautiful friend Leslie talked about this trend on A Blonde Ambition earlier in the week! So while I was perusing the racks at one of the most hectic, but affordable and cute, stores in the WORLD I made sure to keep my eye out for a tunic...and I found one! So my gorgeous twin and myself decided to take a PPT photo-shoot while we were getting ready for a night out with friends and boyfriends! Check it out, folks...
Me and the boyfriend!
Laura and her friend Caroline!

So if you are searching for a new top that can easily transition from Summer to Fall, then try a sheer tunic or blouse! Pair it in the summer with some cut-offs and wedges, or in the fall with some skinny jeans and boots, and you're ready to roll! Stay tuned for more Summer Style here on PPT...and keep your eye out for a Twitter account coming soon!
