Happy Halloween Killjoys!
Though I'm bummed I didn't post more photos of my October OOTD, I know I'll be wearing most of my Halloween type apparel over the next few months regardless because to me it's ALWAYS Halloween.
I did manage to take a photo of my pre-costume outfit from today. Enjoy!
Hello there Killjoys! I'm so happy that it's officially October. I'm a little bummed with myself for not posting sooner, but I've been super busy and am leaving again for about a week, so I plan on overloading this with reviews and style posts once I'm back, so be prepared!
In the meantime, I have another review from the amazing Pinky Paradise. This is my third review for them, and this time they have sent me two new pairs to do Halloween and Cosplay tutorials with, so make sure you're subscribed to my YouTube since I'll be adding 1-2 new make-up tutorials each week for the rest of the month!
As usual, here are some photos of the packaging and whatnot.
First up! EOS Dolly Eye Violet
Size: 14.2 mm
Base Curve: 8.6 mm
Water Content: 38%
I had no trouble getting these in my eye. They are clearly purple on my dark brown eyes, but for some reason show up a whole lot more vibrant in photos (even with no flash) than in person, which you'll see on the YouTube video review.
Overall: Comfort: 5/5 Enlargement: 2/5 I don't really think they made my eyes look bigger, but the color really popped, which is what I wanted Naturalness: 3/5 from a distance, I don't think people would realize they're contacts, but they probably will up close and in photos. Also, they don't have some crazy design, which makes it look a bit more natural.
The second pair is the Geo Ultra CK105 which are black circle lenses. I LOVE THIS PAIR!
Size: 14.8 mm
Base Curve: 8.6 mm
Water Content: 38%
These look a lot bigger than 14.8, which is a good thing. They blend with my natural eye color perfectly and really give me that dolly-anime look that I was going for. At first, I had trouble getting the one lens in my right eye, but every time after that I was fine.
Overall: Comfort: 5/5 Enlargement: 4/5 Naturalness: 4/5
As always, I'm very happy with the overall quality. The shipping was super quick and they sent cute contact lens containers as a gift.
Also, if you use the code Halloween2014Jeanne on your Pinky Paradise purchase until October 6th, you'll get 50% off your purchase!
Thanks for checking out my blog! Don't forget, you can find the video review for this post on my YouTube too!
Hey Killjoys! It's time for another bad-ass fashion blog review!
Today I'm reviewing a US-based store called Creature Cult who sells bad-ass, but sexy accessories like garters, necklaces, and even some tops and dresses!
First off, I love the shipping packaging. It's pink and has the Creature Cult logo sticker on the bag. Shipping was relatively fast. She shipped from across the country, so I was very happy with the items arriving in a few days.
When I opened the bag, I was really happy with everything inside. All 3 of my items were in their own separate bags and not damaged whatsoever. She also included a hand-written note (with the store's logo), as well as a stack of Creature Cult business cards and stickers (which I plan on giving to my friends). I have a few friends that are into Japanese fashion and burlesque, who I know will LOVE these items!
First up! Is my personal favorite. It's called the Sacrificial Lamb Garter. I couldn't be any happier with how this looks. It's elastic and has spikes attached to it. There's also a pentagram hanging on it, which I LOVE. It does have some give and fits on my upper legs. I'm small, but muscular, so I think my thighs are pretty average. I would recommend that if you are a thicker individual, to let the store know before purchasing just to make sure she can make them bigger. It has hooks attached so I can attach it to a thigh high if I want, or just let it hang. I like both options! I'm a HUGE fan of wearing the single fashion garter, so I can't wait to incorporate these with future looks!
I know in some of the photos, the garter makes my leg look a bit chunky and squished, but for me, it's not uncomfortable or cutting off circulation. I had no problem with the tightness, and the garter didn't fall while I walked around, which is a major plus.
The next item is another garter. This one is called the Chi Garter. Same for the last garter, it's elastic and fits me well, but might not fit if you're thicker, so definitely make sure you send that as a note when you order it. This one also has spikes and a little heart in the middle.
Once again, the tightness was fine. This one, I found, fit me most comfortably right above the knee and didn't set as high as the Sacrificial Lamb garter. I think this one would be really cute to wear with knee high/right above the knee socks.
Last, but certainly not least is the Choke Me Till We're Back in the 90's Tattoo Choker. First off, let me say I'm a sucker for 90's apparel and I wore these necklaces ALL THE TIME growing up, so I had to get one! I originally thought I would receive this with a pentagram on it to match the garter, and then I realized there were several options available for the charm, so it was my bad for not realizing that. If you plan on getting this particular necklace, make sure you pick the charm you want in the "options" section. I believe the charms available are the pentagram, this tooth, and a UFO. Regardless of my own ordering mistake, I can't wait to rock this choker like it's 1997 all over again! It's extremely stretchy and should have no problem fitting on anyone who orders one.
All in all, Creature Cult is the perfect combination of goth, sexy, and 90's girl all in one. Even better is that every item shown here is $10 or less.
Make sure to check out their store! You can catch another review on Creature Cult on my YouTube channel! Don't forget to subscribe!
Remember last month, I reviewed this shop called Helpful Manny? They made those kick ass Power Ranger shirts, and I managed to do a whole review around my Power Rangers in Space shirt. I also made a comment that I wished he sold Power Rangers Dino Thunder shirts.
WELL! It turns out that he read my blog and within a week started producing Dino Thunder shirts. As a thank you, he sent me this AMAZING yellow Dino Thunder shirt. It's just as amazing and comfortable as the last one and fits perfectly. As always, they are available in a variety of sizes (both men and womens) and a ton of colors (not just the accurate ones) and can be found HERE. He's been pretty busy and has added some other seasons as well.
I also wanted to post a few photos of the packaging. It came in a cardboard envelope along with a thank you card. I thought it was a nice touch ^-^
So if you're a Power Ranger or Super Sentai fan, go check out his store and get a morphenominal shirt!
September is already here and October will be here before we know it! I definitely can't wait to start doing all of my fall and Halloween posts, but in the mean time, I wanted to do a quick back to school fashion post with the items I recently received from OASAP.
OASAP is a fashion site based in both Asia and the US. Their clothing ranges from standard prices but has items both higher and lower than what you might find in stores. The two items I'm focusing my back to school looks on are these items: Suspender skirt and Lace Cropped Top.
I thought these would both be a good fit for back to school since the burgundy color of the crop top always reminds me of fall, and the black skirt can be used in a million different ways! I'm just going to show you a few of the ways I wore both of these items with other pieces in my closet, and if you'd like to see a full review of the products, please check out my OASAP product review on my YouTube.
I'm here to bring you another circle lens review from Pinky Paradise! I did a review for them awhile back that you can find HERE.
This particular pair that I received is called Princess Pinky Radience Hazel, and I chose this pair specifically for my Blake Belladonna cosplay.
Here is some info about the lenses:
-Diameter: 14.5 mm
-Water Content: 38%
-Base Curve: 8.6 mm
-Price: $28.90
They shipped within a day of ordering them. I was then sent a tracking number and my lenses arrived within a week.
They arrived in an envelope. The contacts were each in a separate vial. There was also a free cute lens case (this time they sent me a cute little piggy!), and a free gift for my hair.
Although the color of the lenses covered my dark eye, I had THE WORST time getting them in my eyes. Even after letting them soak overnight, I couldn't get them in for more than a few seconds without blinking them out every time. I finally got them to stay, however they were extremely uncomfortable and did not fit my eyes.
Though they are 14.5 like another pair of my lenses, they did not stay directly over my iris, and showed my natural color along one of the sides of the lens. This REALLY urks me because it makes it nearly impossibly to look like I am looking in one direction. Even when looking straight it looks like I'm looking up or to the side.
I don't think I would wear these for anything other than my Blake cosplay due to their lack of fitting and comfort. It's a shame because the color is gorgeous. I think it's just the brand that doesn't mesh with me. I've purchased other lenses from Pinky Paradise with literally no complaints. This was one of the more expensive pairs I own, and was overall not happy with the product.
I would still recommend Pinky Paradise to others but I suggest that you PLEASE look at the reviews and customer photos. I took a risk since this pair didn't have reviews or customer photos, but it was the most natural looking yellow/light brown I saw on their store with no prescription. (There was another pair I liked but they were out of the 0.00 prescription.)
Overall:
-Design: 3/5, they have a very plain design, but in a good way. It blended well with my brown eyes
-Color: 4/5, love the color. I think it looks really natural, even for a yellowish/hazel
-Enlargement: 3/5, I don't think they enlarged my eyes *that* much, but it's hard to tell since they didn't fit right.
-Comfort: 2/5, these are REALLY uncomfortable. They get 2 points though, 1 for not obscuring my vision, and 1 for not being so uncomfortable that I can't open my eyes
-Naturalness: 4/5, I think these look really natural for circle lenses. They don't have a black ring, and blend really well with my brown eyes. Not sure how they would look on someone with blue eyes though
I also did a review on my YouTube, so feel free to check that out as well.
