Waiting for my seifuku from SpreePicky

I bought a seifuku from spreepicky because they were having a sale and the seifuku goes up to "plus size" (an extra large in Asian sizes). They had up to seven colors but I was stuck between the violet and pink and sky blue ;~; In the end I picked violet.
Here's the stock photo
They said my order will be shipped out tomorrow but if I recall I bought the thing Wednesday so it's taking a while ;~; Oh well.
Oh and most likely it won't fit me but I'm losing weight for cosplay next year so this will help motivate me. 
and now we wait.

Yay! New shoes: AIR JORDAN 10 RETRO ‘POWDER BLUE’ :D

So yeah I got new shoes. Ever since I started getting into certain tennis/basketball/sports shoes, my dad has been kinda like ''DO YOU WANT THESE!? I CAN GET YOU THESE!'' because he likes collecting and wearing Jordans and such. I think it's like he wears them through me omfg. Sometimes my mum is like "she doesn't need those she's a girl" or she's just really iffy because of the cost of them.
Anyway... we all agreed on a certain pair of shoes. My dad can get shoes easily now since he knows a person.
 <.< >.>
so yay now for pictures
Stock photo:

So at first I was like "oh they're very nice. cool" but then my dad said they're limited edition so I decided to research them and found out they were first released back in 1994 and they're back for the first time which is apparently rare.
This ‘90s classic is making a comeback. The Air Jordan 10 Retro ‘Powder Blue’ is here and stays true to the original colorway. It features a tumbled leather upper and a signature elastic speed-lacing system. It rocks a Powder Blue padded collar and on the outsole, a listing of MJ’s career achievements. Releasing on February 22 on Nike.com.
So now pictures that I've taken
the usual box. I'll most likely be keeping it because my dad wants me to take extra care of them lul
The box with shoes inside (this is now how they were packed I took them out a couple of times)
More pictures~


oh and here's the list of MJ's achievements on the bottom that they're talking about
(picture kinda blurry)

I don't have any pictures of me wearing them but I actually like how well these shoes fit. I got them in a size 9 in men's (I'm a 9 - 10 in women's... I have a big, confusing foot ;~; ) and they fit just right but I have wide feet. They're very slim but my dad says that usually you need to break them in so yeah these shoes are cool. I'm not a huuuuuge fan of shoes like these but I appreciate the ones I actually get cx

I got a new phone case~

Here's the stock photo
Nothing went wrong and it arrived in three days. It's really cute. cx It serves as a wallet and phone case.

Here's a picture of the front (I think it's upside down right here though)

The back of it
There's a zipper that goes around it and it is functional. That's where I'll probably keep my money and change

Here's the inside of it
On the right it was two slits for your cards and there's a fold on that side to keep more stuff in it.
The case is for the Samsung Galaxy S3 and I'm not entirely sure if they have this case for other models.

Fun fact: I won a giveaway

The giveaway was done by this wonderful person and it was the cutest giveaway ever. Here's everything I received.
Official SNK notebook (originally I was supposed to get either an Eren or Levi notebook but she said the place where she gets those don't have them anymore so yay notebook) and (seperate) Eruri clips which are adorable omfg

The notebook pages (with Big Big at the top yay)

Makeup Review: Blackheart Beauty's (Hot Topic) lipstick in Poison Kiss (black)

Yooo. I've been meaning to upload a few random reviews due to boredom but since I've been 1) lazy and 2) not as bored as I used to be I haven't bothered making the reviews.
So, I believe a few weeks ago I purchased a lipstick from Hot Topic because it was in the front of the store and they were have a sale. Maybe it got marked down by a dollar or two? Or it was just because it was a 2 for $8 sale? But anyway the lipstick is originally $5
Here are stock photos










I love the way the lipstick is designed. It's very cute and original. It is very appealing
You get a fair amount of product for that price, but it's not the same for the quality.
The lipstick isn't THAT pigmented. Sometimes it looks streaky and has very dark brown tones?? Actually, stock photo of it worn is pretty accurate to how it looks like if it was correctly layered on multiple times. However, for a perfect black lipstick you shouldn't need to layer it that much. I actually had a better pigmented black lipstick from Halloween makeup at Party City. Although, despite it's lack of good pigmentation, I'm not exactly too disappointed??? I'm not too picky about my lipsticks unless it's ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE and it smells/tastes terrible.
This is a picture of it on me (two layers were probably used)

 The color comes on better if your lips are dry (I don't mean all crusty and stuff I mean how they are normally) and you're not wearing lip balm, otherwise the lipstick cancels out. It does come off easily. I haven't gotten it everywhere around my teeth or around my lips so that's a plus.
As far as how the lipstick feels, it has a very nice, creamy, hydrating feeling to it? It actually smells nice and doesn't have a nasty taste at all.
If I had to rate it for the sake of being honest towards others looking for black lipstick, I would rate this 2.8/5.
As I said before, I'm not too disappointed and it's mainly because I don't wear this lipstick alone. I use Sephora's Rouge Cream lipstick in Hot Tango 05 on the inner lips (??? don't know how to word it) and outline my lips with the Blackheart's Poison Kiss.
So I bid you farewell with these next three pictures that I used for my wig review (horray for reusing pictures)

Review: My new long black wig from eBay~!

So I'm going to be cosplaying as Fem!Castiel from Supernatural and I needed a wig. I purchased this wig from this seller on ebay.
Here's the stock picture
I thought it was really gorgeous and for only $13 and 5 - 10 day free shipping I was sold.
These were the color options they had
So, as the title states, I got the wig in black. There wasn't a stock photo for the black version.
After looking through the pictures on the eBay listing and doing some intensive research, I found out that the wig comes from galbalmania which is a site that sells other wigs. The website is in Korean so it was a bit of a challenge to navigate through and read the reviews for this wig ( which is right here ). Not even the website had the stock photo of the black version so that worried me a bit.
But no worries because I actually got the wig after three? four? mail working days! 
Here's a picture of the package and its contents.
The package came with the wig inside a clear bag you can close. The wig was wrapped in the net as shown in the bottom right and inside the bag was also a mesh wig cap/net. The item did not mention that it would come with a mesh wig cap so I was very happy when I saw that n.n
Here is how the wig looks
Hehe, I used my Chucky doll as a model because I don't have a wig head yet.
Here's how it looks on me
The ends of the wig were a bit tangled when I pulled it out of the bag but I brushed it through and put a tiny bit of hair oil on it to give the ends that shiny, healthy look and feel the rest of the wig has
here's more pictures n.n

Wig Texture: It's so soft! The ends are still a bit rough from them being tangled but it's nothing that's too bad that I can't fix. The hair comes out a bit too easily but it's probably because I tug on it a lot when trying to brush it.
Color: It's a nice, solid jet black color (I even compared it to my mum's dyed black hair and they're exactly alike). It doesn't look faded at all.
Overall: I love this wig! It's so pretty and manageable. It doesn't look fake. Not only am I going to use it for cosplay, I'm also using it for everyday use. Yay~<3

Other Info:
Seller: The seller seems very trustworthy and reliable. They have +99% positive reviews. 
Shipping: Shipping was amazingly fast. It came here in three days.

I recommend this wig for anybody that wants a natural-looking black wig. n.n

My Estee Lauder Bag

So recently I've obtained a really nice bag from Estee Lauder. I researched it and it turns out it comes from  an entire makeup kit.
It's called The Professional Makeup Artist Colour Collection.
Some people refer it to as the "Blockbuster" makeup kit.
The collection, from what I believe, is usually on sale towards the end of the year on esteelauder.co.uk and the items or the bag changes every year.
I only have the bag though. It was given to me by my mother and I doubt she bought the makeup kit so she probably got it as a gift as well? 
The bag can be bought separately from the makeup kit on sites like ebay and amazon so if you'd like how this bag looks you might want to search for it on those sites.
So here's how the bag looks
It looks like a laptop bag so it could probably hold one depending on how big it is. 
A top view of it
on the zippers it says "estee lauder"
And here's a picture of the bag completely open
As you can see it's really roomy in there and as I said before it can fit a laptop or a few thin books/magazines in there.

I just wanted to show this because I think I might start putting my makeup in there. The box I keep my makeup in is falling apart. hehe n.n''

Geo Princess Mimi Apple Green (Bambi) Review From FobbyBarbie.com (REPOST FROM 3/17/2013)

I’m sure many people have reviewed these since their debut but honestly I don’t care because I’m doing these for fun. I have A LOT to say since it’s my first review. (─‿‿─)
Note: I use my dad’s tablet to take pictures so they’re not high quality and I didn’t take all the pictures in different lighting that I needed so I’ll post what I have.

Info on the lenses
Brand (Manufacturer): Geo Medical.
Lens Name: Geo Princess Mimi Apple Green from the Bambi Series (WMM-303) 
Diameter: 15.00 mm
Base Curve: 8.7
Weight: 100.00 g 
Origin: South Korea
Duration: 1 year

Here are the few photos I took (I took very few closeups and no flash photos)
Outdoor lighting without makeup

Don’t I look so kawaii? (◕‿◕✿) (no? ok.)

Review
Packaging: I’m not rating the packaging I’m just talking about it since I don’t have visuals of it. It came in a sealed envelope-like packaging with bubble wrap on the inside.. which I took apart and started popping.
(゜▽゜;)
The lens came in vials which were also sealed in bubble wrap (more for me to pop ლ(́◉◞౪◟◉‵ლ) )
It also came with a normal lens case (versus other websites who do those cute animal cases but I’m not complaining). 
In total, the packaging is very safe so customers from Fobby Barbie have nothing to worry about. C:

Color (and Design): 10/10 - For my first circle lenses, I’m fairly pleased. The color is as expected so I’m not complaining about how dark the green is on me. After all, I do have DARK DARK DARK brown eyes. Like most lenses, they leave a lot of space for your pupils, making your natural eye color fade into the lenses’ color. Except in my case my natural eye color and pupil are not far in color so it looks like I have one huge pupil in these lenses. Basically, I look high.

Enlargement: 10/10 - I’m still debating how to rate the enlargement. I would say 9.5/10 because on me these lenses need something to compliment them to make them not look so.. frog-like. *3* Like, glasses, makeup, or straight bangs/fringe (which I do have but I swept them to the side for photos). My mum says they look natural, and these look very natural on other people who said they look unnatural/frog-like. So I guess it’s just my viewpoint that effects it. And as I said before, considering my dark eyes and pupil blend in it makes me look very high. 。◕‿◕。

Comfort: 9.5/10 - I haven’t worn contacts in a while and these were really good to me. Only problem I had is having it feel like something was there (but this feeling only occurred on the upper eyelid of my right eye). I heard Geo had thick lenses and to some were really uncomfortable but I mostly didn’t notice a thing. And they didn’t get dry within the many hours I wore them.
d=(´▽`)=b
**UPDATE** I found out that I got a semi-ripped pair r.r hehe but these were good to me before they got more irritating u.u

 Overall: 10/10 - These are my first pair of circle lenses and I love them so much. I can’t wait to receive and try on the brown ones in this series. ლ(́◉◞౪◟◉‵ლ)

About FobbyBarbie.Com
As previously stated, I did not buy these. I won them from Reina’s giveaway (her other blog on tumblr is here) therefore I know very little about FobbyBarbie.com and its service. I do know that through express mail I received these quickly. She ordered them I believe late of last week or early this week??? I also know that FobbyBarbie has a great variety of circle lenses and at good, cheap prices and have sales constantly.

New shoes~!

Sheiks was having a "buy one pair, get a pair for a dollar" sale on boots like holy shit.
Look at these beauties.
The boots I bought for approx. $50.
The boots that were for $1 and were originally +$40 (I didn't check the price I just figured they were less than the other ones. n.n

I'll be doing a review over one of the two pairs tomorrow! I need to walk in them all day to get a good feel.

Solution-Lens.com Review: Vassen Crystal Blue (reupload from June 22, 2013)

Solution-lens.com has asked me to review a pair of circle lenses for them. These lenses go by other names like Vassen/I.Fairy (Super) Crystal Blue but on the website they're Vassen Crystal Series Blue (link will be at end of review).

Information about the lenses
Name: Crystal Blue
Brand: Vassen
Diameter: 15.00 mm (on the vial it states 14.5 mm, on other websites it states 16.00 mm but the actual disameter is 15.00 mm
Base curve: 8.6
Duration: A year

Now, time for pictures~~~

Here's how the packaging looked like unopened
hehe poopy sticker
And this is it with its contents taken out
The bubble wrap off
This pen is so cute. It's a little mouse. The tip comes out whenever you press down on an ear and depending on what ear you press down on, either blue or black ink will come out.
I really like this little box it came with. I can use it for other things now yay :3
The box opened


The contents inside the box:
These cute earrings~ ლ(╹◡╹ლ)
A lens case
And the lens vials wrapped in more bubble wrap (◕‿◕✿)
How the lens look inside their vials
The lemses inside their case


Here's the pictures of me wearing them
Indoor (bathroom) lighting:
Flash:
Outdoor lighting:
Sorry I didn't open my eyes big enough in the last picture (⌒_⌒;)
Oh and I didn't take "with makeup" pictures because these lenses are pretty bright enough without makeup.
On to the review! \(@ ̄∇ ̄@)/

Color/Design:
10/10
I didn't chose these lenses for the design, but for the color. Either way, the design is pretty basic but very nice. And the color is really vibrant. You can easily tell they're blue from far away. They're a semi-natural bright blue but if you're looking for lenses that are really natural, these aren't the ones for you. The color and design is really lovely though and I love them.

Enlargement:
8/10
The size is big but when you have them on they're not noticably large. Maybe it's just me because all my lenses are 15.00 mm and I'm too used to huge lenses. o3o

Comfort:
8/10
There are times where these lenses irritate my eyes. Either they feel stingy or too dry. I believe the stingy-ness is from lack of proper care for lenses (sometimes I'm rushing through cleaning them when putting them on so it's probably a my bad).

Overall:
10/10
I love these contacts so much! Everything about them is wonderful. I really needed lenses like these for my Supernatural genderbend Castiel (Castiela) cosplay and these are just perfect. I must have the red, pink, and violet ones from the same series. ლ(́◉◞౪◟◉‵ლ)

More pictures of me actually wearing them (sorry but the lighting I took these pictures in really suck).
This is with my Nyan Cat inspired makeup.
Yes, I know. It's messy. Please don't take it too seriously because the design I made was kinda rushed through. (#/。\#)


Furthur questions...
What is the natural color of your eyes?
My eyes are a REALLY dark brown. Nearly black. The only time the brown is noticeable is when they're in direct sunlight or colored contacts like green or blue are on (as seen on previous pictures).

What are your favorite contact lenses colors and brands?
I love really bright, icy color lenses. I never really care for natural lenses unless they're a pretty color. My favorite brands are Geo and Vassen.

Do you often wear color lenses (which brands?)
I wear circle lenses on a daily basis when school was in. Now that it's summer I don't need to put them on as much unless I go out. The only brands I own are Geo and Vassen.

Where did you find our store (Google, Facebook, Youtube, Tumblr, friends...)
I found Solution-lens.com through Google; through their giveaway page.

What contact lenses you like on our store (put photos and links)


I've always wanted these Hello Kitty contacts *~*


I really want violet lenses aznd I'm so picky with what brands/color I get because of my dark eyes but I found out that Vassen Cherry Violet is the perfect lens for me! They're actually much more brighter than in the picture above.
These are the only lenses I can think of /that I want at at the moment.

Is our website easy to visit / browse
The website is very easy to browse because it goes by brand, series, and colors.

Is our customer service good / quick
I didn't talk much to the customer service but the lenses did get her fairly quick considering they came from Asia. I think it was 5 - 7 days. I didn't keep track well. ^-^''
