Hi, lovelies! I mentioned in a previous post that LVLUP has a couple of new covers coming up, and I'm happy to say that we just posted one of them on our Youtube Channel. This time we made a English version Cover of EXID's UP&DOWN.



This is probably my favorite cover out of the ones we've made together as LVLUP so far. I just had a lot of fun recording the vocals for this one and I'm really happy with the result. The English lyrics were written by Impa and she also made the video. I made the images for this video and I also got the opportunity to mix the cover itself. I'm glad I got to do it since I don't have much experience in that field yet. But I'm lucky to have my girls to help me out and give me feedback. Everyone did a great job and as always I just want to take this opportunity to say that I'm happy to make covers and music with my girls.

I hope you enjoy this cover as much as I do. Please check out our cover of UP&DOWN and the other covers we have made in the past, and feel free to subscribe to LVLUP's Youtube Channel to keep up with us.

Thanks for reading and bye for now lovelies!

[Review] L'Oréal Casting Creme Gloss 8034 Honey Nougat

Hi, lovelies! L'Oréal's Casting Creme gloss is my favorite hair dye and I always use it when I want to go blonde since they have so many pretty blonde shades to choose from. It also works just fine on my previously bleached and dyed hair. I've tried quite a few of different shades and I always loved the result, so obviously, this was the dye I used to get my current blonde hair which I showed you in another blog post. This time I went with this shade called 8034 Honey Nougat. This is just going to be a quick review so I'm not going to go into too much detail. Anyway, let's get to the point.


First of all, both my real hair and extensions have previously been dyed with toners in ash blonde, lilac and lavender to achieve the gray color I wanted back then, and the pigments from those previous dyes were still in there. I didn't have a particular result in mind. I pretty much just wanted a blonde shade that would be as light and warm as possible without having to bleach my hair. I absolutely hate when blonde shades turn too ashy/green and wanted to avoid it at all costs. I usually go with the Sunny Honey or Satin Blonde, but like I mentioned, my real hair and my extensions had previously been dyed silver and were already quite dark so I got this one in hopes to avoid making my hair turnout too dark and to make sure that any green tones will be canceled out as much as possible.

     
Instructions and stuff. It claims to cover grey hair and last up to 6-8 weeks. I don't think I can disagree.

    

In the pictures above you can see my hair right before dying it (washed with water and towel-dried) and right after I dyed it and dried it. As you can see, the result is quite nice and even except for the dark section which I assume was some regrowth. The color didn't turn out quite as warm and golden as the packaging shows, but the color changed completely and It canceled out most of those ugly green tones and I'm pretty happy with the result in general. Besides the amazing result, I also love how this dye makes my hair feel so soft and it smells absolutely amaaazing after the whole procedure. I know it looks kinda dry in the pictures, but I can assure you that it looks and feels a lot better in real life.

There was quite a big color difference between my real hair and my extensions, but I'm not gonna talk too much about that in this post since I just want to show you the result of this hair dye on my real hair. Anyhow, I fixed the color difference with some color correction using a lavender toner and I'm really happy with the result in the end. Let me know what you think in the comments!

[Review] Dolly Eye Starry Eye Grey

Hi, lovelies! I'm back with another review of an amazing pair of circle lenses. The lenses I'm going to review this time are the Dolly Eye (EOS) Starry Eye in Grey.

In addition to Grey, they are also available in Blue, Brown, Green, Pink & Violet. You can get them at UNIQSO and you can also get 10% off your purchase if you use my discount code RGS10.

I absolutely adore these lenses since they are everything I've been looking for in a pair of lenses. Keep on reading if you want to know why I like them so much.



Design & Color
These are 2-toned lenses in a gorgeous Grey color. Most of the lens is a very light grey, but the limbal ring and the slightly speckled pattern is a darker grey. The color is quite opaque, but the detailed and speckled pattern which lets the natural iris shine through a little makes them blend in really well, but what contributes the most to these lenses blending in so well is the slightly 'spiky' innermost part of the lens that meets the natural iris. Other lenses that are completely round and sharp at the innermost part look very fake, in my opinion. These are not!

The picture above shows the lenses in their case. The lens on the left is turned the 'right way' and the lens to the right is turned inside out.

They look more like a natural light/ice blue when worn rather than grey which I absolutely love. When I first got these I thought that they would look very unnatural on me (which I wouldn't have minded), but I was so surprised by how natural these lenses actually look when I wear them. You can obviously see that I'm wearing lenses up close since my green eyes shine through, but from afar they actually look very natural and subtle. I'm pretty sure that no one would know that I'm wearing lenses if I had naturally blue eyes. The pattern of these lenses mimic a real iris pattern really well (even though the pattern of a real iris isn't as obvious).



Enlargement
These lenses are 14.8mm which is my favorite diameter when it comes to lenses. The enlarging effect is perfect in my opinion, but light-colored lenses usually give me a more subtle enlarging effect compared to dark lenses, and these are no exception.

Comfort
I think I've mentioned this in many of my most recent reviews in the past, but I still to mention that my eyes have become more and more sensitive lately. Not because of wearing lenses, but just in general. In addition to that, I rarely wear circle lenses on a daily basis since I have glasses, so my eyes have to get used to circle lenses all over again almost every time I wear them. My point is that you should take what I say about the comfort with a grain of salt, since I have sensitive eyes to begin with. Anyhow, when I first put them in, I feel a little bit of discomfort and I can clearly feel that I'm wearing lenses. However, after a while they are actually very comfortable and I don't have a problem wearing them at all.

Overall
I've been looking for light grey/blue lenses that are opaque so the color actually shows up well on my eyes, are at least 14.5mm, and look somehwhat natural on my eyes. But whenever I found a pair that looked good they where either too small, the color didn't show up that well on my eyes, or they just looked really fake. However, these lenses are perfect in every aspect and I'm so happy that they lived up to my expectations.

They kind of remind me of the New EOS Adult series, except for, like I mentioned, these are a lot bigger and the color shows up so much better on my eyes.

I feel like I'm only going to repeat myself if I keep talking about what I like about these lenses, but just have to say one more time that they are really perfect in every way. I'm a little curious about how the other colors of this series would look on my eyes, so hopefully I will be able to try them in the future too. But right now I'm just really happy with this pair, and they have definitely become one of my favorite lenses ever.

My New Hair & What I've been up to lately

Hi, lovelies! Long time no blogging. First of all I just want to apologize for being so inactive lately. I've been spending these past few weeks at home, just relaxing and spending as much time as possible with my family and just doing a little bit of this and that. I only have about 2 weeks left until I move to Seoul, so I pretty much just want to take it easy before I leave. I hope you understand.

Me and the other girls in LVLUP have also been working on a couple of covers (which we had to postpone for a while since something more important came up), so at least we have that to look forward to for now. I originally wanted LVLUP's youtube channel and my own to be more active, but I have been putting it off on purpose because of the previously mentioned reason.

Anyway, I dyed my hair and put it my extensions again! I've kept my hair short for quite some time now and dyed it in various shades of lavender/lilac during this time. I wanted something new and different (compared to what my hair usually looks like) for summer, so I spontaneously decided to dye it in a dark blonde shade with some lavender parts. This is what it looks like now.

    

I'm really happy with the result but I still have some color correction to do, so I will probably dye it again in the nearest future. I'm kind of considering to put some more lavender in there too, but we'll see what happens!

Anyhow, I can't wait to finally move and to get back into blogging and get my Youtube Channel going. I do have a lot of plans and ideas on what to post in the future, but feel free to leave any suggestions in the comments. Anything is appreciated!

Thanks for reading and bye for now, lovelies!

Gold n' Lilac

Hi, lovelies! I've always been a slave for silver when it comes to jewelry and other things, but ever since spring arrived I've developed this unhealthy obsession with everything gold.

I recently did my nails and decided to match them with my phone and wallet which are both gold-colored or have gold accents. As you might already know I absolutely love Lilac/Lavender and I think it goes so well with gold!


I recently got an iPhone 6 Plus and I just had to have it in gold with a matching case. I also love the gold details on my wallet.

The nail polishes I used are IsaDora 754 Bella Vita, Viva La Diva 133 Casino Royale & 163 A Million

I still need a lot of practice to perfect my technique when it comes to acrylic nails, but I'm still happy with the result. What are your favorite color combinations?
