Circle Lenses/Colored Contacts!~

Hi everyone,

Instead of reviewing stuff in entertainment, I'm going to shamelessly promote and advertise talk about circle lenses/colored contacts! I'm bad at explaining, so bear with me for a moment. OTL

★ What are circle lenses? ★

Circle lenses are colored contacts that aim to make your eyes seem bigger. Prescription is usually available from -0.00 to -10.00!

★ Why are you talking about circle lenses? ★

I have noticed that more people nowadays wear these circle lenses, usually for cosplay or just aesthetic reasons. That being said, I assume it is okay for me to say that circle lenses have become some sort of style trend. ^w^ Anyways, the main reason for this post was to shamelessly promote and advertise inform you guys of my own online store on Tumblr, http://mochi-shoppe.tumblr.com/, which also sells batch order circle lenses.

★ What do you mean by batch order? ★

I do not have the circle lenses in stock. I need to collect a total of 20 lens pairs (I currently have 15 out of the 20 lens pairs) before I can order the whole batch. If I do this, my supplier offers lower prices per pair of circle lens, which is why the prices are cheaper (they usually cost about $25 or more, shipping not included).

★ Brands Offered: ★

GEO (email me about this brand @ he.melissa@bcchsnyc.net), EOS, G&G (also known as Dueba), Hana SPC, Princess Pinky, Seeshell Cosmo, Super Pinky, Vassen, and Venus Eye! I am still adding stuff, so some brands are missing items.

★ Colors: ★

Red, Pink, Green, Blue, Violet, Grey, Brown, Black

★ Prices Ranging From: ★

$18-$21!

★ Payment: ★

If anyone is actually interested, you can just give me your payment at school. ^w^

★ Shipping: ★

When the batch arrives, I'll just give you the lenses at school.

★ More information at: ★

★ Questions? ★

Feel free to email me at he.melissa@bcchsnyc.net if you have questions! :)

Winter nights, how to keep warm

This winter has been incredibly cold, colder than the winters in past years. One thing that keeps me up at night is having cold feet. It’s terrible!!!  And a normal person would say put socks on, so I tried that, didn’t work, and then I tried fuzzy socks. Still didn’t work, and then one day I found these specific slippers, but instead of a hard sole at the bottom, a soft cushion was there. I bought them, and every since then I have been using them to prevent cold feet during those really cold winter nights. There were two options at the store, Old Navy where I bought them, really long ones that went up the calf, or short ones that stop at the ankle.  If you do decide to get them, I recommend only wearing it in your bed, that way the dirt from the floor won’t be in your bed with you.  Another great thing about these slippers is that they come in a bunch of different colors, sizes, and designs, so they are very fashionable.  One thing I did notice after washing them, and they wash just like regular clothes, is that they pick up lint; this wasn’t really a problem for me since I use it for sleeping, but it is something to keep in mind. So if you’re like me, and hate cold feet, pick these up and it will never be a problem again.

Contacts vs. Glasses

I've had glasses since middle school and throughout most of high school. It started with a pair of wire rimmed burgundy glasses. By my sophomore year I upgraded to a trendy, black plastic frame. And finally as a senior, my parents decided that I was responsible enough to get contacts. It was something that I've wanted for so long and I was so excited. I currently use Acuvue with hydraclear plus which are two week disposables.
Since the switch, its pretty darn clear, I am definitely a contacts type of girl. I never felt comfortable with glasses and I hated the feeling of something sitting on my face. I also noticed that a lot of oil around where the glasses touched my face so I made sure to sterilize my glasses at least once a week. My hair always got caught in my glasses and sometimes it was painful to release them. Although contacts are definitely a lot more work, I enjoy them a lot. Every contact wearer knows that it's so important to keep your hands clean. I don't know that I've ever used this much soap in my life.
But not everyone likes the hassle. So what do YOU prefer? Glasses or contacts?
And if you have 20/20 vision, then lucky you.

Jewelry-Making

Whenever I have free time, I like to spend it by doing something creative. Recently, I got hooked on creating my own jewelry. At first it started with simply beads on string, to complicated weaving of friendship bracelets, and now it’s a mixture of both. Since I’m allergic to the “fake metal” in most jewelry I decided to use cord, and the great thing about cord is it is very durable. When I don’t have ideas on making a bracelet, I go out and buy a book to teach me. I’m one of those people who learns quickly by instructions so, once I read it, I do it, and then I have it. And when I’m done making it, I like to wear it, showing off what I accomplished. Also when I give it to someone, like my sister or my mom it’s really satisfying to see someone else wearing something I made, that I put my hard work into. I have to say Michaels is my go-to store for all things art & crafts, and that is where I get all my beads. So far, I’ve only done bracelets, I find that, the more basic the weaving is, the less “pretty” the bracelet actually comes out. So I’ve stuck to more difficult time-consuming designs, and I’m so pleased with them. I hope that I can make a bunch, to give to my friends and family. Try something new, instead of buying your jewelry; make it for yourself, it’s so relaxing and fun.

Closet Essentials: Chambray Shirts

I love chambray shirts because of their versatility. They can be causal enough for school but also dressy enough for a party. It all depends on the shade of blue and what you pair it with. The collar will instantly make these shirts classy. With their denim appearance and the flexibility of cotton, they are just as important as a pair of jeans in any closet.
So how do you wear them if they look just like your everyday jeans?
There is no shame in wearing a chambray shirt with a pair of jeans, the trick is to make sure that your top and bottom are different shades of blue. Try breaking up the blue with a neutral color belt, brown or black work the best. If you don't like wearing too much blue, try pairing a chambray shirt with a pair of black leggings. Chambray shirts are usually long enough for anyone to wear with leggings with, it's also a very comfortable outfit for school.
Chambray shirts are so popular and I believe that even people with entirely different styles could own a chambray shirt and make it work.
American Eagle has good quality chambray shirts in various shades. With their current 40% off sale, it's in the mid $20.00 range. I usually wouldn't spend that much on just a shirt but because I know that I'll be wearing it for a long time, it's a good investment.
I prefer ones with the snap buttons just because its more convenient in the early mornings. If you're skeptical, go to a store and give these shirts a chance! They make outfits effortless! They also make an gift that any girl would appreciate (boys too)!

The Art of Nail Polish

Painting nails is something every girl does at least once. Personally, I paint my nails a lot,. What I do is change the colors repeatedly for one month, and then I don’t paint my nails at all for the next. But that’s the beauty of painting your nails, if you don’t like the color you can always change it, because it’s not permanent so that makes it really fun. Some people like to just put the color on, and leave it like that. But sometimes that can be boring; to snazz it up you can add a clear topcoat that has glitter/sparkles in it. You can make a design, all kinds of designs, a simple one like polka dots, or a really complicated design like a Christmas inspired one. By putting designs you get can get a lot of compliments on your work. Or if you’re too lazy or know you’ll mess up, you can buy nail polish that has a design already built in. For example, Magnetic Nail Polish, you just swipe it over your nail then hover the magnet over it, and BAM you get an instant design. Another example would be crackle nail polish, you swipe it over your nail and it cracks in a few seconds, showing the color before the crackle application. Also, you can use nail strips which can be easier to apply because it won’t get messed up.. I never really realized how much nail polish I had until recently, but it is something I enjoy doing when I’m bored, and it can also be really relaxing when someone else is doing it for you.  Don’t have any design ideas?

November Birchbox 2012

So finally my Birchbox arrived, Birchbox operates from New York so the shipping was a little messed up due to Hurricane Sandy. Birchbox is a monthly subscription service that sends you 4-5 beauty samples each month for $10, its available for males too. Since its Thanksgiving Birchbox included a reusable gift envelope for the recipients to give to a friend, family member, or stranger with anything inside. I think it’s great how Birchbox gives us the opportunity, and I’m definitely going to participate in it.

Product Spotlight

I received:

 Stila: all over shimmer liquid luminizer

The sample size is what I generally expect and it’s an actual beauty product you can use every day. This product is really shimmery, and you can put it anywhere on your face. There is a color to it, but I like to blend it to make it more natural.

MCMC Fragrances-Phoenix

Most people don’t like perfume samples, but I actually do because it lets me try out different scent that I could use if I liked them. And the they’re a decent sample size so if you feel like you don’t like it, you can give it away or if you do like it, be able to wear it for some time. This scent, Phoenix is sort of musky made with Neroli flower and vanilla. Not exactly my cup of tea, as I’m the type of person who favors the fruit scents.

Kiehl’s Crème de Corps

This lotion is great; it has no scent which is great for people with sensitive noses like me. It absorbs quickly into the skin, and is enriched with cocoa butter, and sesame oil. So it is also moisturizing. I am really pleased with the products I got this month. Want a Birchbox? Visit www.birchbox.com

Burt’s Bees: Lemon Butter Cuticle Cream

The first time I discovered this product was when I was over a friend’s house. She had a whole gift package from Burt’s Bees, so we were looking through it. I came across this Lemon Butter Cuticle Cream, so naturally I wanted to see what it smelled like. The scent of lemons in this cream is so apparent, and it smells really good. We rubbed it on our cuticles, (between the skin on our fingers and nail bed), and we had healthy hands for months. That’s actually what sold me on getting this product myself, because it actually did what it advertised. This cream helps get rid of hangnails, something everyone gets a time or two. Hangnails usually happen when our skin is dry, so we have to keep our hands moisturized so this won’t happen, because a hangnail can be painful after awhile. This product also helps brittle nails, so if your nails crack easily then this will make them a lot stronger. Every product has some flaws, so one con for this product is how hard it is to get the can open, you really have to dig deep to get the top of the tin can off. Also, when you first put the product on, it feels greasy, so you have to wait a few minutes for the product to really sink in. Sort of like the feeling you get right after you get your nails done, waiting a little bit to feel comfortable with the “weight” of the polish or for it to dry. Nonetheless, I loved this product so much, I’ve even hit pan on it! Check out other Burt’s Bees products if you’re into things like all natural ingredients.

Black Friday

It’s that time of the year again when chaos erupts at the mall. Black Friday. The day where people go crazy over all the deals at shopping malls all over. If you have been at a mall when the gates open at exactly at midnight and there is a huge crowd around you, you know the feeling. The anxiety feeling you get while planning in your mind what you want to get. You see everyone running and trying to get as many things on sale as they can possibly hold. That day is coming soon, the day after thanksgiving, when all chaos is out and everyone is fighting over sales. It is suppose to be a day of great deals, but sometimes arguments happen, so maybe it isn’t such a great day.  My advice is that if you are planning to go shopping on that day plan ahead on what you want because good deals run out fast even if your there at midnight. We all know the feeling of hating long lines, but that’s what comes with the package of Black Friday. A great idea is also to look at deals on line if they are posted early, so you plan out which stores you want to go to. Overall, the idea is to have fun as that time of the year arrives once again in the following weeks.

Yellow Rat Bastard

Hey kids, this is a new one, I’m going to talk about my favorite place to go clothes shopping.
Now I think you’re all wonder, oscar goes clothes shopping? Well I don’t, I just couldn’t find
better phrasing for it. Clothes buying, purchasing clothes, I don’t know, and I don’t care. So
listen up, you kids see me around the building, in shirts with many different designs. Here,
I threw some in a gif I made shortly, amazing what technology can do. Yellow Rat Bastards
located at 483 Broadway, somewhere in Soho… Yeah I’ve been there, nice place, too many
people if you ask me. Any who, I go there whenever I feel I want something new, something
nice. And I don’t only get shirts, I’ve gotten jeans too and my newest jacket. The black one with
the popped collar. Yeah, popped collars are in, I’m making them. And this store is well adjusted
to my tastes, a lot of black. And that’s all I’ll wear. Really, it’s not a goth thing or whatever, I
just find it suitable and its easier for me. Either way, the stores mainly a shirt place, they have
tons and you’re bound to find something you like. Funny sayings, cartoons, bands, logos, ladies,
neighbor hoods, and more. So I’d go on down there, take your time though, I’m not rushing
you. And there’s my review on Yellow Rat Bastard, enjoy, and until my next post.

Mini ELF Haul

 Even though I don’t wear makeup, there are always times where I get the urge to buy a lot of it. So without breaking the bank, I bought EyesLipFace products. EyesLipsFace or ELF is a brand who sells makeup and cosmetics for an affordable price. They are not like Sephora where they have a store; you can only find them online or in department stores. I first found ELF in a department store; there I bought 2 lip glosses, 2 travel mirrors, a liquid foundation brush, a blending eye brush, natural lash kit, and a bronzing brush. I like lip glosses that have a scent to them, but one thing that does bother me is the stickiness of them. The travel mirrors are great, I kept one for myself, and gave the other away. It fits in my wallet perfectly, so I love it! I really love the quality of the liquid foundation brush; it’s so smooth and doesn’t irritate my face. The blending eye brush and bronzing brush, is not for me, when I used them strands would come out, and go in my eye, which is not something anyone would want. I haven’t used the lashes yet, but I know I won’t use the lash glue that came with it, because of the ingredients in it. I’m one of those people who check the ingredients, because a lot of things in makeup are not good for the body. As an extra precaution, check the ingredients before you buy anything.  ELF has 3 different lines, professional, studio, and mineral. The only difference between them is the cost, and sometimes the quality of the products. I loved the ELF stuff I got from the department store so much, so I checked EyesLipFace online too. EyesLipFace always has a deal going on for their online store, so when I went on, it was a 50% sale, I got a 100 piece eye shadow set for $10 and most of them are really pigmented and matte. I’m pleased with all the stuff I got; I encourage you to check ELF out!

DIY: The Perfect Top Knot

 The Top Knot is an easy and simple hairstyle that anyone can do. From simply throwing your hair up to a messy bun, to making it neat and pristine, everyone has been following this trend, this fall. With school, we hardly have any time to create a cute hairstyle after picking an outfit, eating breakfast, and for some of us, doing our makeup. So our hair is often neglected. Recently, I purchased something called a Foam Hair Foundation, which is basically a foam piece shaped into a donut. You wrap your hair around it, to get a fuller bun. I went home, tried it out, and was pleased with the results, but then I realized I could make this product myself. Personally, I believe it is more satisfying when you make something yourself, that way you can make it exactly how you want it. I have really thin hair, and can never seem to get that really full bun look, so this is a fast and easy way for me to get the perfect bun. If you don’t want to have to spend money for this, there is a simple way to make one yourself. Here is how you do it:

Step 1

Find a pair of old, and hopefully clean socks.

Step 2

Using any amount of socks; combine all of them into one.

Step 3

At the bottom of the sock, cut a small opening.

Step 4

Roll the sock inside out, so that it looks like a small donut.

To put it in your hair, gather it up into a high ponytail, and slip it through the hole, and wrap your hair around the sock. For added protection, you can secure with bobby pins, (people with long hair usually don’t have to use them), and it would hold fine.

Comments from Baruch Students:

Kristal, a 9^th grader says: “I like it, because my hair doesn’t get in the way.”

Kristina, a 9^th grader says: “I feel comfortable.”

Hope you have fun with this easy DIY!

All About Autumn

Autumn is officially here. The leaves are turning bright red and yellow just to fall onto the cold, hard cement (funny how all the trees in the photo are still green, eh?) And there's people like me who would go out of their way to step on a crunchy leaf. As the weather gettings colder, what's your favorite thing to do? I like taking short walks to the markets around my neighborhood before winter comes along. It's a different feeling walking in Brooklyn because you're away from the craziness of the city.
Autumn is also a great time to bust out those cozy sweaters without hiding them under those big coats. The weather is perfect for that cozy, effortless, & relaxed feel. Whats even better? You don't need to spend a lot of money in order to achieve this.
Gray over sized sweater - H&M ($17.00)
Burgundy leggings - Forever21 ($5.00)
Black wedge booties - Forever 21 ($20.00)
Muted blush bag - Forever 21 ($27.00?)

With the colder weather also brings the warm drinks. No more fraps from Starbucks or oh so sweet smoothies from Jamba Juice. Instead, I've been loving green tea with lemon and honey. It's a relatively healthy and super soothing. If you're not into tea then a classic hot chocolate is wonderful as well.

Yeah I know. This post was a bit all over the place. But I just really love Autumn! So what are your thoughts about the current season? Do you love the colder weather or the opportunity to swallow yourself up in knit scarves and over sized sweaters? Or do you just love summer because thats when school's out?

October Birchbox 2012

I finally received my Birchbox in the mail today. For those of you who don’t know what Birchbox is, it’s a monthly subscription service where you pay $10 a month for 4-5 beauty samples. Sometimes you can get a full-sized product in the box, but mostly it’s a small sample. But it’s all worth it in the end, and since you never know what’s in your box until it arrives in the mail, it’s a great surprise too. The products I received this month were:

1.       Malin + Goetz

-Bergamot Body Wash

-Grapefruit Face Cleanser

       2. Ouidad Hydrafusion Intense Curl Cream

      3. Sprout Lip Balm Flights

      4. Supergoop! City Sunscreen Serum

      5. Luna Bar – Lemon Zest

…and all for a grand total of $10, and in my opinion, that’s not bad at all. Most of the prices for some of the full sized products are expensive, so getting it for only ten is a good deal. There were two full sized products, the Luna bar and the Sprout Lip Balm in my October box. Everything else is a onetime use sample. Usually you would get four products, but instead I got six, which is also a plus of the surprise element. Sometimes there is an extra bonus in the box, something everyone would want. And when they come, your day just gets a little bit better. Recently Birchbox starting to add food products into the boxes and in September I received tea.  Personally I’m not a fan of getting food items because the reason I joined was to try new beauty products. However, this is also a way to get items that are organic, healthy, and actually taste good. This month was a special one Birchbox teamed up with a lifestyle blog called Goop and had two options, the regular box and the special Goop one. I chose the special one, so this is the products in the Goop box, not the regular October Birchbox.  I’m pretty happy with my box this month, and with this being my second one I’m excited to see what else I will get in the upcoming months. This is something anyone can join if they want to try new products, (there is also an option for males called Birchbox Man). If you’re interested in joining Birchbox, log on to birchbox.com and create an account.

Layering for the fall!

It's finally autumn and it's getting colder by the day. Its time to put alway the skirts and bring out those sweaters & cardigans! I don't know about you but I love comfy knit sweaters, they're easy in the hectic mornings and they keep you warm in the classroom.

Start off with the basics. A pair of jeans and a tank top, I'm pretty sure everyone has that.

Throw on a cardigan of your choice. Feel like the neck line is way too plain? Add a scarf to keep yourself warm or if you're feeling it, put on a statement necklace. Weeeeeeeeeeee, look at that gif go.

Maybe you don't feel comfortable wearing a tanktop. You can always opt for a button down shirt, very classic and they're everywhere! Layer a scarf, chunky cardigan, or both. I love the way the collar shows through the cardigan, it dresses up the neckline without anything too flashy. If you think that a simple collar isn't enough for you, slip a necklace under the collar so it'll peek through. Whenever I feel like my sweater or cardigan is too overwhelmingly big or chunky, I roll up the sleeves. This instantly "tailors" your shirt giving it a more put together, chic appearance.

If you're going to be out all day with the crunchy leaves and chilly breeze, start off with a tank top. This will keep your center warmer thus, keeping you warmer. Put on your favorite sweater and then a scarf to keep your neck warm. I always find that if your neck is warm, you are warmer overall. I prefer circle or infinity scarves because I don't have to deal with the two dangling "tails" a regular scarf has. I've had that gray faux leather jacket for years and it has never failed me. It goes with about anything and gray is a lot softer than black is. Of course, feel free to substitute whatever you own into these outfit ideas.
Remember ladies, you don't have to wear less or show more skin in order to get compliments. Layering different fabrics, textures, and colors are just as eye catching, if not more.

Enjoy the colder weather yet to come. Hope you enjoyed and was inspired in way or another.

Do YOU like green tea? Check this out

From left to right: Lotus, Tropical, Green Tea (original), Cherry Blossom,
Summer, & Exotic

I feel like the most attractive and hygienic thing a girl can possess is a wonderful scent. You know, when that girl walks by and you can smell that perfume trailing behind her. I mean no one likes smelling our teenage body odor anyways. 

In the photo I've featured perfumes by Elizabeth Arden. I've been using them for years and they're nothing short of amazing. Green tea is such a unique and universal scent because it's so soft. This series of perfumes is school appropriate and a perfect everyday perfume. They're not too over powering, it's definitely not the kind of perfume that makes you gag if you smell too much of it. I'm sure that all girls will find at least one in this photo that suites them. Of course with 6 different bottles of the series, there will be some variation but green tea is always the main note.

My personal favorites is the original (which is almost gone) and the green tea cherry blossom. They're not too overly floral but at the same time it gives a very clean scent. However, this isn't the laundry type clean like the Light Blue by Dolce & Gabbana which I also own.

Another reason why I absolutely love these perfumes: the price. They range from $35.00 - $40.00 dollars which isn't bad at all for a Sephora quality perfume. Think about it, most perfumes at Sephora range from $60.00 - $100.00. Unfortunately, Sephora does not carry Elizabeth Arden but this amazing perfume can be found at most department stores (including Ulta).

It's sleek glass bottle and signature leaf detailing also would look great where ever you decide to place it!

I like to take my own photos so they take a little more time to create and edit.

It Is Getting COLD!!!

Photo: Google Images (loveandfat@Wordpress)

I hope everyone is prepared for fall, because it is already fall! Aren't you guys excited? As far as I know, the weather for the past few days were and for the future days are going to be between 50s and 70s. So wear more weather appropriate, and better not catch a cold during season change. Because being sick really will kill you when you have SOOOOO much homework due the next day, and let's not forget those notes you missed the day you were absent. Sad life. :(

PS: However, always keep in mind that you go to the school, Baruch College Campus High School! A school where you better wear layers, which means you should be prepared for sudden changes between cold and hot/warm environments. Again, WEAR LAYERS. Do not risk your health for convenience or to look "good", it is not worth it, take my advice- I'm a little old (<--oxymoron?) junior!

Here are some tips for you guys when you are having a tough time adjusting...

Freshmen: Relax! You are still enjoying the early stages of BCCHS so don't complain. Get some snacks and rest for a bit, then keep working.

Sophomore: Too much notes? Start considering what is truly important and train your brain to take notes only on that!

Junior: Let's fight!

Senior: Good luck!

Back to school - SHOES!

School has finally begun and what better way to start off the year than with the right pair of shoes. Think about it, Baruch doesn't allow students to use it's elevators and with five floors that's a lot of walking. Here are some ideas and hopefully you ladies will get some inspiration.

Classic - You can't go wrong with a pair of comfortable oxfords. They're classics and women have been wearing them since the 1800's. These guys are from Aldo! Most oxford laces are waxed which means that they tend to un-tie themselves quite often. If you're into that girly look, replace the laces with matching ribbon and the difference is amazing.

Feminine - Just about everyone owns a pair of flats that they can run around in. These Steve Madden heavenly flats are wildly popular everywhere. Just about everyone owns the patent nude ones. Wanna stand out? Opt for a light gray with is also a great transition color into the fall. (I'm so obsessed with this specific flat that I own four pairs...in different colors)

Practical - Black flats go with just about everything...jeans, skirts, shorts, and the list goes on. Black flats are definitely a staple because it's a universal shoe. Comfortable, practical, and perfect for the mornings when you're rushing to class. You can find these in all colors at DSW, discounted of course.

Trendy - Ankle booties were all the rage last season and who can resist. They're cute and versatile. These suede Chelsey Crew booties can be causal paired with skinnies or girly & flirty paired with a high waisted a-line skirt. The tiny heel gives your feet a comfortable support that will allow you to walk up those flights of stairs all day long. 

Comfortable - Converses are definitely comfort to the max. Let's face it, we all own a pair and they will forever be classics. On gym days, rainy days, and just plain bummy days throw these own with a pair of jeans and you're set. 

Causal - Toms are definitely "hype" right now. Although everyone probably has a pair...or two don't be afraid to throw them on! We all know they're super comfortable and the best thing about it: you can wear them both with socks and sock-less. Not only do they come in every color possible (along with the classic colors, they also have glitter and neons!), but when you buy a pair of Toms a pair gets donated to a child in need. Good for the fall days when it's a tad too chilly to wear flats. As you can see, I wore mine to death. 

Of course, you can always wear what you want. Some like to throw on a pair of heels for the glamour while others are more laid back. No matter what your style may be, it's all good as long as it reflects you. I hoped everyone started the school year on the right foot...no pun intended. (:

What's in YOUR bag?

 

Tomorrow is the first day of school, what will you be bringing with you? What's the most important thing in your bag? I know mine is my lip balm, no one likes chapped lips. I'm personally a tad excited because it's just been so long. I secretly miss having a locker and taking notes, sounds crazy huh? 

Darn, I forgot to add my wallet into the photo, boo.
