ONE 7 WAYS #16 - Pink leopard cardigan!

Hi there, good evening! I'm trying my best to keep blogging, though right at this moment I can't focus on what I should be typing but I'll try to get the words out haha. It's been quite some time since I last posted a One 7 Ways, and I'm sorry to everyone who had requested to see a new edition. I hope this will be enjoyable and it will be the start of the series again XD

However this O7W is a bit different than the past editions as the item was not chosen by poll. Today's One 7 Ways is utilizing an item that was sponsored by the online webshop AnnAni.com which specializes in Japanese fashion with a girly style!




The 16th edition of O7W features a pink and grey leopard print cardigan from the brand Snidel. It has zippered working pockets at the hips and buttons made of shells, you can check out the AnnAni.com product page for more information. The little details of the cardigan really make it stand out, and just what you'd expect from a Japanese brand XD

Anyhow, I hope you will like the coordinates I've come up with this week. As I was making these coordis I tried to keep wearability and broader appeal in mind. I stopped myself from adding superfluous accessories several times haha!

Style 1: Black lace dress Forever21, Braided belt Forever21, Felt cowboy hat Target, Gold necklace Express

Style 2: Lace camisole Lip Service, Black skirt H&M, Statement necklace H&M

Style 3: Chartreuse top Free People, Damage jeggings Target, Gold necklace Express, Teal choker No brand

Style 4: Black top H&M, Camel skirt Forever21, Floppy hat Missoni, Sunglasses H&M, Necklace Herbergers

Style 5: Graphic tshirt Murua, pink shorts Forever21, Cross necklace Forever21

Style 6: Black collared shirt Forever21, Necklace Candie's, shorts Target, Hair ribbon Hot Topic

Style 7: Floral top H&M, Black belt Express, White wide pants H&M, beaded collar necklace Target

I'm particularly pleased with Style 3 and Style 6, they just turned out how I wanted perfectly and Style 5 should be quite wearable for anyone. I tried to add some spring trends in here and there, overall this item was easy to coordinate and since it has so many nice details it stands on it's own very well.

If you are interested in the leopard print cardigan, please check out AnnAni.com, they have lots of other adorable girly items and many more coming soon^^

Did you have a favorite style, or perhaps some style you'd like to see more of in future One 7 Ways?

* Sponsor Review * GEO Xtra WT-A05 grey circle lenses

Today it should be nice to break up those Japan posts and write about something fashion-y today. I would like to review a lovely pair of circle lenses I received this week from PinkyParadise.com, the largest circle lens and Asian beauty shop.


GEO Xtra WT-A05 in grey Review


PinkyParadise provided all these items, including the super cute lens cases and hair clip.


Close up of the GEO Xtra WT-A05 lenses


Firstly I want to point out PinkyParadise.com's service. Our correspondence was extremely prompt and professional, all my possible questions were answered before I even asked! Shipping was great; they quoted me 14-25 working days, but the lenses arrived in just a week!

They also included super adorable animal lenses cases (I got a purple puffer fish, and orange pig!) plus a Velcro hair clip to hold back bangs during makeup application. You can find out how to get your own cute lens case and mystery gift at the end of the review!!



One lens in to show the enlargement

GEO Xtra WT_A05 specs: Diameter : 15.0mm Water Content : 38% Base Curve : 8.6mm Life Span : 1 year disposal

Anyhow, so these lenses are made by GEO which are known for being high quality, and I have to agree!! These lenses were so comfortable the instant I put them in, the most comfortable I've felt. I was not aware of them and could wear them a long time.



In natural lighting, full makeup

But it's not only the comfort that's wonderful, just look at that design! It's SOOO beautiful to me haha! I was not sure how grey would look on my light teal eyes, but it blends just perfectly, and I have the feeling it will look perfect on dark eyes too XD

The design on the lens looks like a snowflake to me, and it looks very interesting from faraway as well. This lens comes in several other colors including: Blue, violet, green, brown and even pink! So I'm sure you'll find one that suits your taste XD

Quick Review: Enlargement: ★★★★★ Comfort: ★★★★★ Color: ★★★★★

Basically I love them, and find them so perfect! I think grey is a great color for cool, mature and/or otona looks. I really recommend both these lenses and PinkyParadise.com.

When ordering these, or any of the 350+ other in stock lenses, PinkyParadise.com offers make sure to use the promo code CHOUZURU This entitles you to: A FREE cute animal lens case PLUS mystery gifts (If you purchase 3 pairs, you get 3 lens case and 3 mystery gifts)

They also carry other beauty products, like Diamond Lashes, Dollywink and Eyemazing lashes! I'm using Eyemazing #001 top lashes in this review btw (not provided).

Cosmetics selection in my fave - Donki!

Hey there folks, trying to get back into the swing of things here, I started replying to comments and I will start leaving comments on your blogs again soon^^ I'm thinking alot about blogging, and I'm hoping you will like this post!

The place I always go to for cosmetics in Japan is of course (as you may of guess by the title..) Don Quijote! Not only because they sell the makeup at lower prices than regular drug stores, they also have a large selection!

The Lavshuca product lineup at Donki

I'm not hard core into Japanese cosmetics, I can easily find good items and brands here stateside, but I do love the packaging, limited editions, and unique items! Of course you can't find so many false eyelashes here!

Maybelline Colossal Volum' mascara (misplaced on the rack haha) and Cosmagic blushes!

Majolica Majorca nail polish

Even the tiny one level Donki Picasso near where I stay in Japan has a nice cosmetics selection, and they had expanded it recently! They stocked Diamond Lashes, Eyemazing Lashes, RicoAng press on nails, D-up eyelash glue, everything I love.

But they don't have Canmake items TT Have you seen Canmake at any Donki near you?

Kate eyeshadows

More Kate eyeshadows, the brown and teal palette really catches my eye!

Anyhow, they carry most of the major brands, and you will easily be able to find that Kate eyeshadow, Majolica Majorca mascara, and Candydoll blush. Donki is loved especially by gyaru for their cosmetic needs, perhaps because there are branches located in prime areas of Shibuya and Shinjuku? XD

And it's not only the makeup itself you can find at Donki, you can also find great tools. Eyelash applicators for those tired of using tweezers, or makeup shields to protect your makeup from mascara slip ups.

Eyebrow trimmer, mascara shield, compact eyelash curler, sponges

This will make putting on falsies easy haha!

Though I have to warn you, import cosmetics and circle lenses are not as cheap at Donki compared to other places. OPI polishs are over 2,000yen while only 8.50$ here in the US.

Perhaps you noticed this article is basically about showing off cosmetic pics from Donki, but I hope it could be a little useful as well. In the least makeup is fun to look at haha!
