Be My Plum!





I felt like I should get a pair of brown lenses again. Only had a hazel pair back in 2011. I wasn't too into the lot of designs for lenses. I wanted something not too over the top colour wise like a light, bright brown.

So, I decided to grab a pair of Geo Plum Brown from Pinky Paradise. They were 19.90$ without shipping.

Specs:
Diameter: 15.0
Water Content: 42%
Base Curve: 8.7mm
Life Span: 1 year disposal

The shipping took about a week or so from Pinky. The brown colour didn't show up too bright on my eyes. Its a bit on the transparent side than opaque and blends in nicely, letting the flower petal design peak through.


I know its bad to wear cosmetic lens for more than 8 hours, but I have from days that become longer than expected. (not recommended by the way) I don't get a lot of dryness with them, and no irritation even with the size of the lens. 

Colour: 4/5  
Comfort: 4.5/5 
Design: 4.5/5

This post was written around 2013-2014 or so, and I have not seen them have this style any more.

W.I.P. and Sketches

I have been working on way to many projects this summer, and most of them involve art and portfolio work. I also got to show off some pieces at an art show in Chicago called Girl Talk at MultiKulti.

This piece is based on a picture I took of Purin when we were working at Acen this year. I thought she looked super adorable with her bear hat and stuffed llama doll, and wanted to do a portrait for her. It is incomplete, but I will be getting back to it once I get some other things finished up.
