geo nudy blue lens


I decided to do a picture and video post while I'm out here in Boston for the Geo nudy blue lens I posted about last week. Here are some still images, followed by the video. (note~ all photos are completely unedited, except the pic of my grey dress haha... I brightened it a ton).





I think I forgot to mention astigmatism in my video.... so basically I have astigmatism, and I have to wear hard rigid gas permeable lens. They keep the curvature of my eye... or something like that. If I wear soft lens, my astigmatism will worsen (my eyes have improved from wearing hard lens.. they are better today than they were 10 years ago). However, my astigmatism is on the mild side, so I do NOT need to wear toric lens. I'm not sure how astigmatism is measured, but if you have it and are interested in wearing circle lens, definitely consult your eye doctor first!! I called my eye doctor and that's how I found out.


My new camera records HD video, so you can watch in HD! I'm not sure what that means haha.. but it sounds good! Uhm and I was sitting on a medicine ball so I may "bounce" a bit at times ahahaha..

I got the lens from http://k-circlelens.net/ :)

This is the dress I'm wearing in the video, from Wet Seal (was on sale for like $15!!). It has bows and peepholes in the back :) I have on St. Tropez on my body, and lots of bronzer on my face so I wouldn't stand out in my usual blinding pastiness. Girls in Boston are extremely tan!!! Well, everyone except the MIT kids.. they're all super pasty :\
Here are images of the lipsticks that I mention in the video, pictured on my lips. Will add pics for Baby Pink later....

NYX Strawberry Milk - indoors
NYX Strawberry Milk - outdoors, and 2 layers applied
NYX Orange Soda - outdoors
This last lipstick is Revlon "Radiant Ruby", gifted to me from the sweet Michelle (http://xbeyondmex.blogspot.com/). Thank you for the love package ~ I adored everything!
Coincidentally, I'd been curious about wearing a red lipstick, so I was very excited to try it on. I love it, it makes me feel like snow white!!
And in outdoor lighting:
I think this is my least wordy post to date. Will write more when I return to SF!

  3. Hey Sophia, your video is so cute haha sometimes your forehead got cut off cuz of your bouncing. But dang your pics are model status, especially those last ones with the sunglasses :P Yes yes i've been to esperpento!! That's the most recent spanish/peruvian place I went to actually.. just last weekend, and the pic in my post with the lobster paella is from there :) woot I haven't tried ramblas though, gotta look into that. Woah you I'm glad you finally tried shanghainese food and honey walnut prawns, soo good!

  4. Wow you are super skinny! And that dress fits like a glove lol :) I like the orange soda shade... it definitely looks nude. I also have mild astigmatism but wear regular soft lenses (I think there are special soft lenses for astigmatism too)... my optometrist never said anything about needing hard lenses. I've heard that they're really uncomfortable?

  17. oh em gee what sunglasses are you wearing!? you may have mentioned them in another post but I can't remember.
    just watched the vid - this must be the one you & i were tweeting about while uploading, hahahahaaha. yea you feel me!? it takes forever to upload! at least yours is in HD and is much more clear. ANYWHO I remember you raving about Orange Soda when I first hit up Variety Shop. I think i'll have to pick it up this weekend and give it a try. I'm too scared hahah I need you to convince meeee and I love love love love love Baby Pink. That one is my favorite NYX lipstick from the round collection. *sigh* SEE YOU SOON!!! oh and be safe coming back from Boston. I hear there's delays due to the weather on the East Coast :\

  18. U look so so pretty sweetie!!! Love ur voice!

  19. ^^
    OOPS I changed the price of the dress to $15... haha I think Wet Seal doesn't have any products over $20 lol!

    The SUNGLASSES I'm wearing (a couple ppl asked)are Gucci, and here's a link to them on Nordstrom--> http://bit.ly/blJJEz They are the current season style, and come in multiple colors.

    Katie ~ I won't be making any beauty videos or anything, but I have a couple more orders of circle lens that I will do video again! I ordered grey, hazel, pink, and some other lens I forget hahaha..

    Thanks for all the sweet comments ~ I love you gals all so much :)))

  20. looove the lenses! and the red lips make you look sexy! hope you had fun in boston! hey, are you gonna enter my contest? just wondering how long to keep it running. :)

  21. Look at that hottie!
    Your blue eyes are so pretty. I think they kind of look natural in a way. {*HAHA} Yess.. I know you'd never see asians with blue eyes but those lenses look natural. It's not a BRIGHT blue but it's a blue eye color? I don't know if I'm making sense. =X

    I like your video! Great job on it. The lighting is really nice in Boston.

    That's a steal. $15 for that dress? Wow. I like, I like. =] I feel like I can never find anything at Wet Seal. {*boo} I feel like everyone else can find great items at Wet Seal but I never find a single thing.

    I'm loving all the lipstick shades as well. I really like the orange one and the light pink. I'm on the hunt for a nude-ish color now. I really like your glasses. Not the sunglasses but your actual glasses. You look really pretty. I feel like I look hella nerdy with mine. HAHAHA.

    As for my camera its a... [looking for it right now]... OLYMPUS. The BF and my two besties from college got it for me as a Bday present last year. I love how it's pink.


    <3 Serena.

  22. Hi Sophia!! Finally got around to commenting, I am ADORING the sunnies (they'd NEVER go with my round face, though) and the Strawberry Milk. I shall ask theSusyness to come with me to our fave Variety Store so that we can try it out for ourselves!
    I've already told you via tweet-tweet, but that red looks sooo gorgey on you, hon! xoxo
