Beauty | Circle Lenses Wishlist

I'm currently going through a period in my life where I'm not wearing any make-up, save for maybe nights out or events on weekends, but for work? Forget it. I get up extra early every morning so I have time to study before I have to leave for work, plus my new medication has tiredness as a main side effect, so I just plain old can't be bothered to put my face on when I'm just going to sit behind a computer all day. This goes against the wish that I have to take part in gyaru style, as that requires you to put some effort into outfits and make-up, but that's where this post comes in!

I'm slightly obsessed with Circle Lenses. I think they look absolutely amazing, and to be honest (if my skin would stop breaking the fuck out), I think I would be able to get away with just wearing Circle Lenses (and maybe some natural looking falsies) to make my eyes pop, instead of wearing make-up. At least, that's the dream. In the past few weeks, I've scouted out some somewhat reputable-looking Circle Lenses websites, most of which are partners of some of the blogs I frequent, so I know they're trustworthy.

I look for Plano lenses (those which have no prescription), as although I do have glasses I haven't had my eyes tested in years so wouldn't have the first clue about my contact lens prescription ahahahaa, and also I can see fine without my glasses. Some websites don't carry these, or at least don't carry a wide range, so if you're interested and wear glasses then you're already better off than me! :)

As I want to wear these for day to day and hopefully in work, I want them to be noticeable, but not outrageous. Therefore, lenses I've picked have been with this in mind, meaning browns, super enlargement, but preferably no limbal ring. Unfortunately, seeing as I'm still on my spending ban, my picks are inspiration/wishlist only.

These are the websites I searched:
Yes Style
Pinky Paradise
Circle Lens 2 U
Eye Candys
Love Shopping Holics
Please note, the three images above are from Yes Style, which has a wide range of gorgeous Circle Lenses. I only didn't include any as they didn't have any Plano ones in stock. The ones I've chosen to display as my favourites below are from Eye Candys, as they had the best images, range, and Plano available. Plus free worldwide delivery, my favourite :')

I'm sooooooooo looking forward to having my spending ban lifted (over half way through!!), and I know fo' sho' that I'm going to be rushing straight to any of the above sites to buy my first pair of lenses! :) I think they're a great way of having your eyes look "done" without having to add too much, or any, make-up.

Do any of you own Circle Lenses? Where do you shop for them? I'd love to hear your thoughts!

Fashion | Style Inspiration: CL of 2NE1 - Nan Nappeun Gizibe / The Baddest Female

For those who are unaware, I love k-pop. My favourite k-pop band by miles is the all girl group 2NE1, comprised of Park Bom (my absolute favourite member, whose hair I base mine on), CL (Chaerin), Minzy and Dara. I fell in love with this group a few years ago, and have been obsessed ever since with their music, reality TV show, and in turn the other k-pop groups (such as BIGBANG) belonging to the same record label as them, YG Entertainment (otherwise known as YG Family, which is freaking adorable).

For the past few weeks, YG have been teasing which groups of theirs will be making comebacks. 2NE1 haven't released anything since their one off single "I Love You" ten months ago, and before that nothing since their 2nd Mini Album in 2011 (not including their English-singing song "Gettin' Dumb" on will.i.am's album #thatpower, although I've been listening to that song non-stop for weeks). I've been just a tad deprived of personally, who I consider two of the most beautiful women in the world, Park Bom and CL, and have to make do with just following the group on Twitter and Instagram until they released some music.

I read in an interview about their upcoming comeback that CL was planning on launching a solo career, but since a date hadn't even been confirmed for the group's new album launch, I didn't think anything of it. That is, until I was in Spain and saw YG tweeting teaser pictures of CL for her new solo single?! Whilst I'm quite cross that CL went solo before the group released their album, I can't deny that she really is the baddest female. I have such style envy it's unreal. Check out her music video for her first ever solo single The Baddest Female below:


Can you see why I have style envy??? I was quite surprised by her new sound, I knew she was very into her hip hop, etc., but I was still expecting a bit more 2NE1 sound than there actually was. Her single sounded to me like a Korean Iggy Azaelia/Nikki Minaj, but y'know... better than both of them. Hey, I'm biased!

I actually just spent ages trying to recreate her pretty much all leather outfit from the video. I think finding equivalents to all her outfits is going to be my new obsession; at least until 2NE1 make their comeback.

Do you love k-pop? What did you think of CL's new solo single? Let me know in the comments below!
