Trend Crush: The Mirrored Lenses

firmoo optical eyewear review

I FINALLY HAVE A PAIR OF MIRRORED LENS SUNGLASSES.

Yes that warrants capslock because I’ve been eyeing up a pair since… Korea? April of Korea? When GENTLEMONSTER became a thing and everyone was wearing them? When I’d stop and stare at the pretty lenses in styleNANDA and all but paw at them.

#obsessed.

And NOW I HAVE MY OWN PAIR. The women’s full frame mixed material mirror sunglasses* from Firmoo.com. They’re so pretty, arrived just in time for the weather turning sunny, total score. Oh and I’m totally taking them to Rome with me for explorations over Easter Break.

firmoo optical eyewear review

I love a good pair of sunglasses, and although I’ve cycled through many styles throughout the years, I always fall back to oversized or full frame lenses. Quite recently a lot of those I’ve picked up have been cat-flicked at the corners to match my eyeliner or slightly more eye catching styles. I was so enamoured with the lenses on these Firmoo glasses – even though they’re not as fully mirrored as the GENTLEMONSTER pairs I’m lusting after – as they bring a fun edge to spring and summer outfits in a really easy way.

Firmoo’s service was also really quick and their website is easy to navigate. I love the fact that if you know your prescription you can get prescription lenses put into almost any of their frames – which is fab because I’m not always a fan of the options at the opticians.

Which totally reminds me I need to book an appointment.

You can’t with the sunglasses, which may be an issue for some people, but they have a wide array of daily frames if you’re looking for a new pair. Shipping is fast, well packaged (which is something I really look out for when posting fragile things such as eyewear), and reliable – tracking numbers are easy to follow and email notification is prompt. Ticking alll those boxes.

The parcel came with the sunglasses, a hard case – map print, totes in love – a soft case with drawstring closing, a small keyring screwdriver, and a lens cloth. It’s the first time I’ve ever had sunglasses that have come with a small screwdriver for fixing loose screws through constant wear, but that is definitely appreciated – and I can fix some old pairs I haven’t worn because of fear of breaking now!

I’ve already worn these out a few times and they’ve gone down so well. I’m so happy with these sunnies and I can’t wait for the weather to be more consistently brilliant so I can wear them more often.

What are your thoughts on the mirrored lense trend? And what do you think about these sunnies?  Let me know~

Also keep an eye out for how I style these in upcoming posts and a lil’ somethin’ I have planned for youtube!

    I love mirrored lenses! I have a pair from them too and chose mirrored lenses because they're so snazzy I think. Or at least will hopefully make me look snazzy.Meg | A Little Twist Of…

come with me to get laser treatment done at 클럽 come with me to get laser treatment done at 클럽미즈라미체의원 (lamiche clinic) in seongpa-gu, seoul ☺️

it was my first time getting this kind of treatment done, so i was nervous, but the staff walked me through everything and the process was simple. They have a full interpretation service if you don’t speak korean, too. 

I had a skin evaluation, and then consultation with Dr. Joo. It was really eye opening (and fully humbling) to see my skin like that, and I was open to letting Dr. Joo make recommendations based on his expertise. I do thoroughly research skincare on my own, but there are some things that creams and actives just cannot do. 

Unfortunately due to work commitments I couldn’t do the full 3-4 hours of treatment that were recommended, but I’m pleased with the results of my treatment anyway! 

treatment: 
- rough extraction (not filmed)
removes sebum and other impurities from pores. This was probably the most painful part for me? but i still felt I was in very good and capable hands. 🥲

lasers: 
- affirm mpx
🎯 appearance of pores, wrinkles, ptosis, deep nasolabial folds, cervical stripes 
- fraxel dual 
🎯 appearance of scarring, wrinkles, ptosis, deep nasolabial folds, cervical stripes 
- new accolade 
🎯 pigmented lesions 
- excel v
🎯 pigmented lesions, vascular lesions, elastic lesion
-revlite c7
🎯 skin surface, wrinkles, scarring, pigmented lesion, pimple pigmentation

other: HA filler, front cheek (volume) 

thoughts: 
the pain was less than i’d thought it would be… though I do have quite a high pain tolerance. I experienced some of the expected scabbing during the next two days as the skin healed, and took the recommended medication to help with the healing process. 

after 2 weeks: 
my skin does have less redness, especially around my nose, and the surface texture looks better! I’ve had a lot of compliments on how my skin is looking recently (despite the cold) so overall I am very pleased. :) 

If you have any questions, let me know and i’ll answer as best i can :)

this barbie got something she wanted, finally. 💋
good morning from the chilly riverside~ even tho good morning from the chilly riverside~ 

even though the weather these days is getting less than toasty (haha), I have been making use of the Seoul bike rental program! 
Ttareungi (따릉기) is super easy to use, you do need an app and internet connection, but the user interface is really intuitive, and you can use it in korean or english. The map tells you how many bikes are at any given location, and renting one is a simple as scanning the qr code on the back, paying 2000 won for 2 hours (1000won for 1 hour, 5000won whole day) and peddling off 💖

(as someone who is terrified of doing something wrong, I was really happy with how easy both rental and return is.) You don’t need an account to use them either. 

(toast isn’t the biggest fan, but he doesn’t like bikes so i’ll give him a pass)

a night(tour) at the museum! The Gyeongbok palac a night(tour) at the museum! 

The Gyeongbok palace night tour is a popular attraction over the summer months, but did you know the National Museum offers guided tours too? 

I went on a guided tour of the museum garden recently, and saw a lot of really interesting structures and treasures of note. Plus it’s nice to spend time outside with the autumn leaves (peak time will probably be around next week!) 

entry to the museum is free, and there are a few different tours you can do both inside and outside of it :)

found a whale in the han river 🐳 🐋 (don’ found a whale in the han river 🐳 🐋 

(don’t worry it’s not real! - but it is part of the kcontent festival happening at the 세빛섬 / floating islands at banpo han river park. 

The whale is from Extraordinary Attorney Woo, and you can also see Younghee from Squid Game, and one of the cells from Yumi’s Cells (admittedly I haven’t seen that one…) 

There are other games you can play too, and if you go on a weekend you can craft your own whale) 

:) The festival runs until september 30th! ))

summer~~~ has definitely been *hot* this year. Sad summer~~~ has definitely been *hot* this year. Sad to say I definitely haven’t utilised the seasons as much as I wanted to because of work :( I did manage to escape the heat by eating the staple summer dessert (bingsu // 빙수 ) 💖 and chilling in my downtime in cafes! 

I think i’m going to wait a bit a bit for the heat to go down before breaking out the picnic stuff this year 💖 

how do you cool off in the heat ~

This location is @provokeseoul , a repurposed flour mill that was built during the japanese colonial period of korea. These days it doesn’t grind grain, but you might have seen it in music videos and #kdrama scenes! 

Currently this location isn’t open to the public to visit, so thanks @globalseoulmates for organising the tour! But!!! The Provoke team have plans to open to the public in the future to link to Mullae art village~ 

(Last two slides are taken from @xikers_official KOONG performance video, which was filmed here!) 

Do you know any other media Provoke has appeared in? let me know in the comments :)

if you’re struggling to reapply your sunscreen t if you’re struggling to reapply your sunscreen throughout the day, then I really suggest you switch so a sun stick. They’re incredibly portable, and, most importantly, no mess!!! The amount of times I’ve had sunscreen explode in my bag… 

This sun stick from @marynmay_official is great for on the go application. It contains peptides and bakuchiol, which are great for helping your skin fight off free radicals that can damage your skin. It’s not greasy, and wears well under makeup. 

It’s been such a great addition to my bag that I actually almost forgot to take it out to make this reel 🥲😅

i made kimbap~ 🫶 Thanks to the Seoul Hallyu A i made kimbap~ 
🫶 
Thanks to the Seoul Hallyu Activites Program I got to go to CJ The Kitchen and experience making Kimbap for the first time ❤️

It wasn’t all smooth sailing but our teacher said my kimbap rolling skills were good 🥹 which … well you can judge for yourself 😂

It was a lot of fun, and there are a lot of different activities to try out on the Hallyu program that unfortunately I didn’t get to do because of my work schedule. You can take dance classes with YGX, craft making classes, go to SBS The Show, or make Korean liquor or kimchi. 

What do you think of the kimbap i made 😅

🌺 flower festival season is upon us 🌸 Cher 🌺 flower festival season is upon us 🌸 

Cherry blossoms are probably the most famous flower festival that happens across the country (there are some amazing spots in seoul for seeing them) - but there are a lot of other festivals for different flowers too! 
(I have them saved on my naver maps under orange hearts so that I can see them easily) 

At the moment, canola flowers (유채꽃) are in full bloom (they’re a spring flower in Korea) and there are a couple of great places to see them in all their glory in Seoul. 

One of them is Seorae Island (서래섬), between shinbanpo station (신반포역) and gubanpo station (구반포역). It’s a small island covered in Canola flowers, with a pretty Han river view. 

Seorae village (서래마을), the french quarter, isn’t far away either, so you can treat yourself to some french pastries after visiting, or get yourself a full picnic spread.

(Even though the festival is technically over now, you’ll still be able to see the flowers for a bit longer ^^) 

Other flower festivals happening soon are: 

🥀 rose festival in jungnang-gu (중랑구) 
🥀 seoul grand park rose garden festival 

📌 서래섬 - about a 15 minute walk from 구반포역 exit 2, or 신반포역 exit 1 
(40 Sinbanpo-to 11-gil, Seocho-gu, Seoul)
🌼 The festival runs from may 12-21st and entry is free!
