Scared

I have never said this before but I honestly am quite scared to use Korean with someone unless I am absolutely comfortable.

I think the main reason why is that once people find out that I studied Korean, they automatically label me and I'm not too fond of the labels usually. 

I have had Koreans who I wanted to be friends with, stop talking to me when they find my channel because they see all the Kpop and assume I'm only trying to be friends with them because they're Korean (which, if you know me, is not true)...

"Koreaboo" 
"Wannabe Korean"
"Asian Fetish"
"Try Hard"
"Mayo" (honestly I laugh more at this one)


Those are all words, and phrases that people will associate with me when they see my Instagram or YouTube channel, or when they find out that I studied Korean for a while now...

Like (in the words of one of my good good friends) BRRAAAHHHHH 


lol 

I can't help but shake that scared feeling when it comes to using Korean, and I'm honestly trying to get over that fear of being judged but again... it takes time and support...

I understand how some of my friends have felt when they first started learning English and when they would only speak to me in Korean because 

It's scary to make mistakes

Sweet Nudy Ice Blue Lenses Review

https://www.uniqso.com/products/sweety-nudy-ice-blue

Diameter of Lenses: 14.5mm
Water Content: 40%
Base Curve: 8.6mm
Replacement Period: 12 months
Prescription Available: 0.00 to -7.00

Colour/Design


In terms of colour, it was just what I had wanted when I initially ordered the lenses. The colour is a nice ice/grey blue and it is not too prominent (so I don't like all Alien-like lol). The lenses diameter is a bit larger than a normal pupil (which is around 13mm/14mm), but it is very natural-looking overall.

For the design, it is more of a "starburst" design, so the inside of the lens is the light grey/ice blue, then the outside is a dark ring to make it noticeable. It has a more natural design I think, due to the fact that naturally my pupils are a bit darker around the edges.

Lenses in darker lighting
As for overall, my eye colour is hazel (so some shades of green mixed with brown), and the lenses showed up really well. In darker lighting the lenses are more of a grey tone, but when there is sunlight they are more blue. In photos I feel like they don't give the lenses justice, because they look more grey in photos however in person they are a very natural blue.

I would give the design and colour aspect of these lenses a 10/10. They are natural and beautiful at the same time.


Comfort Level


In regards to  comfort, I wore these lenses for 8 hours today and I did not even feel them... It literally felt like I was wearing just regular prescription contacts, and I loved that. 
Lenses in outdoor lighting

Previous lenses I had purchased I could only wear for about 4-5 hours, however the water content in these lenses is 40% so they were very comfortable. 

I would give these lenses a 10/10 for comfort level. 

Price


These lenses were actually on sale! Uniqso has this huuggee sale happening right now so for the lenses they are $17.69 CAD, and with the lenses they include a cute contact case as well.
Box for Lenses and Contact Case
I used DHL Express Shipping because I ordered these lenses specifically for Toronto Kpop Con so I only had a week before I needed them. But in total, my order was about $23 with the shipping included.

For price these lenses definitely get 10/10


Shipping & Customer Service



I have to say.... Uniqso is the best for customer service.... Previously when I ordered my lenses, I would just order them then wait for them to arrive. BUT Uniqso and DHL Express literally updated me every step of the shipping process! 

Definitely the best shipping & customer service experience I had with lenses. I would give it a 10/10


Overall



These lenses get a 10/10 from me and I highly recommend you purchase them if you are thinking about getting circle lenses in the future 😄

My new favourite lenses!
