Busy Busy Busy
As promised I am working on resizing the pics so I can post the reviews I took them for. It's taking a little longer than I planned. Ontop of finishing my Christmas shopping (YAY) I baught a little gift for myself. Just grabbed my laptop and as soon as I get it all figured out updating this will be ALOT easier! I probably sound crazy, but as addicted as I am to my net access I HATE sittingat a desk. I love being comfortable and my laptop thusfar seems to be able to help me do that!Here's wishing everyone a safe and wonderful holiday season!

Semi Update and a few random facts
I have been a little absent due to lack of images to go with planned reviews. I have finally figured outthe basics of my new camera and have taken pictures. Once I upload and crop them I will have some pic heavy reviews! I have made a promise to myself to update at least once a week!
Onto randomness now...
I find it perplexing. I don't really have many followers at all. Several times a week I do get emails from people who have read my blog. They've either come across it from my YouTube channel or other forums. I don't mind answering their emails if I can in anyway. I do wonder though.....Why not just subscribe? To me it would make more sense to subscribe and ask the question on my blog....Different strokes for different folks I guess?? So I figured since some of the questions are very repetitive I would simply post them in this entry so as not to keep answering the same inquiries.
WHY DON'T YOU TALK IN YOUR YOUTUBE VIDEOS?
To keep it simple I don't get paid. Don't get me wrong. YouTube is a great community fo the most part. I simply post videos showing how lenses look. I don't do make up reviews, electronics reviews or anything of that sort. I can write my reviews here and that's good enough. Since it's not a job I see no need to do anymore than that. The videos are just something I put up in my spare time when the spirit moves me.
WHY DO YOU ONLY POST FACE SHOTS? ARE YOU EMBERASSED BECAUSE YOU ARE SHORT AND STOCKY?
This one makes me chuckle a bit. First because while I am bigger I am not that much overweight. Second because many who ask me this assume I'm short! In reality I don't post anything but face shots because that's all I can. I don't own a dsl/dsr or whatever those fancy cameras are called nor do I own a tri pod. I also don't have a full length mirror tall enough. With no shoes on I am 6'4 1/2" tall. Yep I'm not only not short I'm also above average height.
WHAT ETHNICIY ARE YOU?
I don't really see the relevance or reasoning behind this question. I can only assume it's out of mere quriosity. I often get some people assuming I am either Latin American, Hawaiian, or some mix of Filipino. I am none of the above. Not that I really see what it matters but I am African American and Irish. That's it. No more no less.
I LIKE YOUR EYELASHES WHAT MASCARA DO YOU USE?
I sorta get annoyed by this one. In a few posts I mention the fact that some subjects such as make up I don't talk on because I don't wear it. To answer nothing. The thickness, curve, and length of my lashes is natural.
I READ YOUR BLOG AND YOU SEEM TO ALWAYS UPDATE THAT YOU WILL UPDATE SOON BUT YOU'VE BEEN BUSY WORKING.HOW MUCH CAN SOMEONE AS YOUNG AS YOU WORK?
Well I will start of by saying what I said earlier, if you read my blog often and email me feel free to SUBSCRIBE/FOLLOW my blog! That being said I work anywhere from 40-50 hours a week. That's not counting going to and from work. And I worm so much because I have bills to pay. I'm not sure how "young" people perceive me to be. In reality I'm going on 27. Like most adult members of society who contribute I work a full time job. Up until this summer/fall I was actually also working a part time job for 3 years after working my full-time job.
WHERE DO YOU GET ALL OF YOUR CONTACTS FROM AND CAN I GE SOME THERE?
I get my contacts from various places. Most frequently from JCPenny Optical (FYI it is also referred to as US Vision in some states). I occasionally order them online and from overseas. When I see a new brand I sometimes get them at a Beauty Supply Store as well. I always list where I get my lenses from. If ever unsure check the description.
Hopefully this helps those who follow me but don't subscribe (And if that's you feel free to do so now!)and any of my followers who may have been wondering anything! Anymore questions feel free to ask me in the comments!

Adult J-203 Review
I finally received my EOS Adult Series J-203 lenses in Grey a few days ago. I was super busy but am now on vacation so I had some time to take a few pics and upload them.
I ordered them from www.HoneyColor.com I placed the order on October 11,2010 and they were origionally supposed to arrive on October 26,2010. They arrived on Friday October 22,2010. Super quick. They were packaged very well and cared for very well.
They arrived in a crazy neat box branded with the websites name on it, and a super crazy contact lens case. I think the caps are hippos?? Please correct me if I'm wrong!
The vials were kept neat and secure in their packaging!
Since they were going to be worn after a quick rinse once removed from the vials I snapped a quick pic of them in them.
Lens out of the vial compared to Elegance Grey. They are very similar in tone and pattern. Adult Grey lens is slightly better imho.
Quick comparison of Elegance Grey and Adult J-203 Grey. They create a very similar result on the eyes. Despite Elegance having a smaller pupil hole I actually think the Adult J-203 looks more natural in person.
Just the Adult Series J-203 Grey lenses on my eyes. The last pic is a bit out of focus and the coloring is off due to my cameras inability to take a good picture in macro setting without a flash. They look as light, if not lighter than they do in the flash pics in person.
They came to $26.90 total for the lenses. $22.90 for the pair (which is annual. YAY!) and $4.00 for the shipping. They arrived quick and secure. They did have to be signed for but hey, what lenses don't now a days. They shipped from Singapore and have probably been the quickest I have received lenses. I have ordered within the US and had lenses take longer.
I highly recommend them. Super comfortable and great results! I will say though, that I feel these would look even better on dark brown eyes. I also love the fact that despite the large pattern of the lens, it appears so opaque that their is no halo'd leakage.
***Disclaimer***
I paid for these lenses with my own money. They were not sponsored of gifted to me in any way. I have no sponsership/partnership with the company www.honeycolor.com and was in no way gifted or compensated in any way to give a good review of their service or the lenses in this review.
