bjd bed prop [wip].

For all you BJD owners out there, have you ever just gone, hmm I need some props for my doll.  You go into a BJD furniture hunt and you see that everything is just ridiculously priced?!  A chair for $25?!  A bed...$100+!!  AHHH!  ヽ(o`皿′o)ノ  Well I decided to look up DIY projects and what not and decided to start off small.  I found a tutorial for a sofa and started making it, but then I got a grand idea after visiting my local fabric/craft store.  I found Balsa wood and decided that Jin [my Yuz Luts] is in need of a bed.

I quickly sketched out an idea of how I wanted the bed to look and started gathering materials.  I gathered strips of balsa wood and decided to cut them into thirds.
Well so I had a hard time figuring out how to cut them.  I didn't have a craft knife so I ended up using one of the kitchen knives.  SHHHH, I told no one.  XD  It kinda worked but I had to snap them apart which left jagged edges, but I remembered I had an unnaturally rough nail filer that I could potentially use and it worked!
lol Sanding it down got EVERYWHERE on my desk.  I probably shouldn't even be doing this in my room.  Gotta love what I was wearing.  XD
After cutting the pieces I went ahead and just assembled it to get an idea of how long, wide, or tall I need it.
After deciding everything, I actually ran out of materials so I had to go buy some more and in different varieties.  I bought some more that was wider than the strips I got the first time.  Time to glue it together!  I hot glued the pieces together but I had to hot glue around the pieces to safely secure it [too many fell off on me so I gave up neatness for support].
Afterwards I glued two strips together to make a square piece for the feet of the bed.  I'm going to make a canopy as well that's why the strips are so long.
I put Jin on the bed and prayed that he didn't fall through and the bed actually held up pretty well!  I am still a bit worried that Jin might be too heavy so I think I want to reinforce it a bit by putting an extra strip on the underside or an extra foot in the middle.  What do you think I should do?!  Give me your thoughts!

[sponsored review] fynale classic - circle red.

Before I say anything...I finally did a video lens review!!!  Well it's not my first one, but I finally figured out where to set up my camera and etc.   Still not perfect lighting but its a start.  *.*  Anyways, I'm reviewing Fynale Classic's Circle Red this time and it is sponsored by none other than Fynale Cosmetic Lens.  Now ONWARDS to the review~

Three photos with me wearing the lenses.

What I think about the lenses?
Good for freaking people out! Joking.  xD  Well they look like I have bloodshot eyes from time to time.  lol  Anyways, good for cosplay for an evil character or someone with extremely vibrant red eyes.  Use it to your advantage and scare people~
Comfort: 4.5/5
They were a bit uncomfortable as I put them in...it felt like they were inside out, but turns out they weren't.  Other than that, nothing wrong with them.  Wore them for about 4-5 hours with no signs of irritation or dryness.
Enlargement: 3/5
Lack of limbal ring causes them to look smaller than they actually are.  More around a 14.2 mm enlargement size.  Purely color so that might be why.
Color: 5/5
Perfect color.  Most vibrant [obviously] of all the red lenses I have reviewed.  The lenses itself are opaque, and only red.  No black or any other colors mixed in with it, just a pure red color.  Can be seen from afar.

a new hiatus.

The beginning of school is slowly coming so I regretfully have to say, I'll probably be on hiatus from this blog.  I may still post from time to time, but I will rarely be at home.  ;<  This saddens me, but I hope I still have time to just post random rantings or maybe slip in a review here or there once in a while~

[sponsored review] fynale classic - florence red.

Time for the third pair of red lenses I received from the wonderful Fynale Cosmetic Lens!  Thank you for letting me try this series as well~  I recently had my car break down because the radiator was broken.  It overheated my car and I was so scared that the engine would be burnt.  So glad that nothing serious happen, but I was worrying over that so I didn't really tend to my blog here  :A;  Sorry, but I am back now with another review~

Without further ado, here are the pictures of the vials.
The top of the vials.  So happy I don't need prescription lenses, makes everything so much easier.
The side view of them.
It looks kind of pinkish held up to the light, but it has such a pretty design~
And this is what it looks like in the solution.
Here is the compilation of the lenses in different light settings.
A few seconds long video of the lenses.

What I think about the lenses?
I really like the subtle design they have.  I feel like the Florence series was aimed more towards naturalness than the other two I have tried on so far.  They blend in a bit better, though they still do have that thick black limbal ring around it.
Comfort: 4/5
Mmm they were pretty comfortable overall, but for some reason, I was blinking a lot today.  Good thing is I can wear it for about 6-7 hours without any signs of extreme dryness.
Enlargement: 4.5/5
They weren't as big looking as my last review.  They were enlarging, but not extreme.  I think it's partially due to the fact these lenses look a bit more natural than the other red lenses I've reviewed so far.
Color: 4.5/5
The color was still very vibrant for this series, but since it blended in a more with my eyes, which is a dark brown, the lenses came out more of a dark red.  It's still very pretty but under dark settings it might even could be mistook for dark brown, okay, maybe not that bad, but the point is they aren't a bright red.
