Daily Style Post #3

Time for another daily style post!

My last post mentioned how I like to shop on a budget, so I wanted to incorporate that into today’s coord.

Nothing here cost more than $30. I’m actually pretty sure this whole outfit was under $100 from head to toe.

I don’t really have a set “style”. I’ve always mixed genres of clothing, and today’s coord is a punk/pastel goth/visual kei mix of chaos.

 The dress, believe it or not was a steal that I found at Boscov’s for only $20.

The hat was about $3 on eBay and the wig was also from eBay for only $18.

It’s getting closer to Halloween, which means the amount of spooky clothing is only going to grow from here. I love these bat tights. They were another eBay purchase for about $5. I’m not going to lie, they’re pretty tight. They were also short for tights. I’m only 5’1 and had a hard time pulling them up all the way, but once they were on, I was good.

The shoes were also from eBay (see a trend here? I like eBay hauls lol). They were about $29 after shipping.

Finally, all of the accessories from the communicator watch, to the bracelets, necklaces, and brooch were all about $5-25 from various sellers and stores. Most of which I’ve had for years and forget where I’ve bought them.

 So there you have it! A little Japanese inspired coord for under $100.

For anyone wondering about my make-up and contacts, I’ll be putting a video up on my YouTube later this week so you can see how I did it. If you have any other comments and/or questions, feel free to leave them below!

Stay spooky!

Uniqso Circle Lens: Product Review

Today’s product review is for Uniqso’s Circle Lens!

Uniqso is an online store that sells circle lenses, colored contacts, wigs, and other skin products.

Uniqso circle lenses are also super affordable. The site also offers multiple promotions and even cosplay/make-up tutorials.

The pair I will be reviewing today is called I.Fairy Tofi Grey. 

They are 16.2 mm, have 55% water content, have an 8.6mm base curve, and are good for 1 year.

They are available in various prescriptions. (I opted for no prescription.)

 Uniqso was very quick to answer emails and ship everything out. They also sent me a tracking number so I knew exactly when my lenses would be shipping out. They arrived in less than 2 weeks.

They came in this cute little box! Inside were the lenses in their individual vials and the lens case.

 These lenses are bigger than my other pair of circle lenses at a whopping 16.2 mm . I’m not going to lie, I was really nervous that these would be too big for my eyes to handle and would be really uncomfortable.

  I let the contacts soak in the solution for a few hours before putting them in. I was happily surprised to find out that these lenses are not only super comfortable, but I adjusted to them very quickly. I can’t even tell that they’re in my eyes. I can’t feel or see them on my eyes.

The color is also vibrant, yet realistic on my natural dark brown eyes. I’m always worried that colored lenses won’t turn up the color I want on my eyes, but these came out vibrant, yet realistic.

These are obviously a lot larger than my natural eyes, and give me an anime look, but they aren't completely fake looking.

 I had originally got these for my Ruby (RWBY) cosplay. They are pretty perfect for the cosplay, but I love them so much I’ll be wearing them a lot more often.

Uniqso also gave me a coupon for my readers to use! So feel free to use Killjoy at checkout to receive 10% off you purchase!

If you guys have any questions/comments feel free to leave them below.

Tasty Peach Studios: Product Review

It’s time for a new product review! This one is for the US-based kawaii boutique called Tasty Peach Studios! There's even a limited-time coupon code at the end of this review!

Tasty Peach Studios has some of the cutest and most affordable Japanese-inspired accessories and products that I’ve seen in awhile. They have an online store as well as a booth at various conventions. I was super impressed to find out that only 2 people run the shop.

Let’s get right to the review, shall we?

My order was shipped and arrived in just a few days, and showed up exactly when they said it would!

The first product I received from Tasty Peach Studios was the Bento Octopus charm. This is such an adorable charm. Look at the little tentacles! It’s even blushing! It’s only $5 plus shipping, and there are dozens of equally adorable characters to choose from.

If your phone doesn’t have a piece to put the charm, Tasty Peach Studios also sells a charm plug in various colors that plugs right into an auxiliary outlet, which means you can attach the charm to phones, handheld game systems, or anything else with that outlet.

The second item I will be reviewing is the Inukii Lanyard. Inukii is their super cute fox character, who is on many of their products. The lanyard is perfect for attaching to my keys. The lanyard isn’t thick and bulky, but the images still look perfect. The lanyard features Inukii in several poses. The colors also reminded me of autumn (which is my favorite season), which is probably why I chose this one. This item was also $5

 

The final item from Tasty Peach Studios is this 6-pieceZombie Alpaca Button Set. I am an absolute sucker for buttons (especially when you can get all 6 of these for $5!). Each button has the zombie alpaca in a different pose and is the perfect combination of creepy and cute! The buttons are 40mm which is about a little more than an inch big. I have so many things that I put buttons on including my vest, bag, and now my new lanyard. I can’t wait to start accessorizing everything!

 Tasty Peach Studios also offers t-shirts, plushies, notebooks, and a ton of other Japanese-inspired accessories on their site. The range of characters they offer is insane! There were so many different characters to choose from. It was so hard to pick which ones I wanted. I definitely plan on getting more soon because I NEED THEM ALL!

What did you guys think of the items I received from TastyPeach Studios? Aren’t they the cutest!?

Everything listed here (with the exception of the cell phone plug) is only $5. Cheap, right!? Well, for one week only, my followers will get a 15% off discount by using the code Killjoy01

Use it while you can! That coupon is only good from (today) July 24th-July 31st!

Dark Sea Designs: Product Review

The first review on my blog! I’m not gonna lie, I’m pretty excited =D

I figured the best way to start off a new blog would be with a brand new designer. Ready for this? Drumroll, please! Let me introduce to you, Dark Sea Designs!

Dark Sea Designs started designing his own clothes this year. I’m really impressed with how well his work is for only designing and sewing for a few months now.

The style of Dark Sea Designs reminds me much of my own closet by combining various Japanese street fashion genres including visual kei, fairy kei, and variations of Lolita.

The first pieces I'm reviewing are a grey and black asymmetrical tunic and armband (they come together as a set). I’m only 5’2, so the tunic covers me like a dress. However, on someone taller, it would probably fit like an actual top/tunic. The top underneath is just a random tank top from my closet. 

I absolutely love the armband; it's adjustable, which is a plus! The arm piece has several layers to it, which gives it a bit of a creepy mummy look to it (that's a good thing to me, by the way). Both the tunic and the armband are made of a gauze/mesh material and are hand burned, so no two Dark Sea Designs item are exactly the same. 

The second piece of Dark Sea Designs I’ll be reviewing are these detailed pastel shorts. The first day I wore them, I paired them with a fashion top from Too Fast Apparel, knee high socks, and my creepers.

Once again, I love that no two of this item will be the same. Each pair is hand dyed and painted, also there are spikes along the side of the one leg. I actually really love that these shorts aren’t low rise. The only downfall to the higher waste band is that I have a tiny waist, so I’ll have to find a cute belt to wear with these lovely shorts ^-^

The third and final item that I’ll be reviewing will be their white and neon colored cut-sew tank top. I love anything cut-sew, it always catches my eye. I think the cat face and sea horse are really cute, and I feel like I don’t see many sea horses on clothing. The straps dangling around the top are made of the same cloth that the shirt is. There’s also a chain/safety pin brooch-looking detail on the chest. I’m a fan of chains and safety pins. I blame my punk years =P

I could (and most likely will) pair the cut-sew tank top with the pastel shorts in the future. They seem like such a cute combo!

As of right now, Dark Sea Designs only has a Facebook, however, once their store is up, I’ll edit this review and post the link. I definitely foresee Dark Sea Designs being an up and coming designer with big things in their future. 

I wish them the best of luck with their upcoming work and hope to model and review more of their designs in the future ^-^
