[Review] Qianmu Rose 3 Tiered Dress

 

Along with the hanfu from my last post, I also picked up this Qianmu dress from lolitainside!

You know...to make the shipment worthwhile, haha.

A long time ago, I used to be really into both gyaru and lolita fashion. As the years went by I ended up drifting away from the convention scene which also led me to just admiring fashions from afar. Always loving them but no longer having the courage to wear them. 

Recently I've been wanting to get back into it but my body type has completely changed from before so I had to find out which style of dress would suit me again. 

I didn't want to get a dress that was too pricey (at the time of me posting, this dress was under $50!!!) and there's so many different brands and styles now that I didn't know where to start. 

[Review] My first Hanfu~

One day I randomly picked up a wig headband that was inspired by a traditional Chinese style that would be worn with Hanfu. Unfortunately for the hair piece, I pick up wigs and accessories all the time and then they just sit there for a while before I actually decide to do something with them.

Another addiction is floral headbands off of aliexpress that could ALSO go with hanfu. I think you might see where I'm going with this.

As another weird added context, I've always wanted to go to a renaissance fair but never quite knew what to wear...THEN SUDDENLY HANFU CAME TO MIND.

[Review] PinkFlash Mellow Radiant and Chic in Cheek Blush

Hello fellow beauty enthusiasts!

I'm going to jump right into this one. I, unfortunately or fortunately, am a victim of blush blindness in the fact that (kinda like lip products) I pick them up with no thoughts of if I have colors similar or not.

Thanks to that though, I've found some of my favorite blushes and wanted to share them with you! 

The following review includes their original blush (The Chic in Cheek) and their newer formula Mellow Radiant!

[Review] Coleyes Contacts Cosmic Violet

 

Trying out Coleyes' Cosmic Violet lenses!

I really wanted to get some purple lenses for a Raven and Kuromi costume. Recently I purchased 3 different violet colors and can't wait to see how all of them perform!

This particular lens series actually comes in two different designs. There's the Cosmic mesh one which covers the pupil and then the normal Cosmic that doesn't. I believe there's also 1-day/ 6-month and 1 year variations.

These contacts were purchased by me from Coleyes during their buy 10 for $99 sale (it's not really a sale since it goes on for so long but I have seen it go to 9 lenses for $99).

ColEyes Contact Review [No Makeup Wednesday Grey]

I honestly didn't expect to like the "no makeup Wednesday" lenses as much as I did!

When I saw them floating in their little containers I wasn't impressed by the design I saw but I was pleasantly surprised with how they were brought to life on dark eyes!

Out of the lenses I've tried from Coleyes so far, this line of lens has been my favorite! Both the blue and grey lens have been ones that I've worn a couple times now.

They really shine on dark eyes and I don't even think the pictures do them justice.

ColEyes Contact Review [No Makeup Monday Blue]

 

Another day, another review. As lackluster as my intro is, the rest of the post is just me gushing about this lens. Incase you wanted a TLDR in the beginning, haha. 

I'm sure, like everyone else, I've learned to be skeptical when it comes to advertisement pictures of everything. Even though there's tons of pictures of other people wearing contacts, you just never fully know if they edited them to be brighter, bolder, etc so I added these to my cart knowing they might not be as great as the pictures. 

I was pleasantly surprised with these lenses and have reached for them multiple times now!

CLIO Kill Cover Founwear Foundation Review [ #04 Ginger]

 

I love when brands make mini versions of their foundations. It's such a good idea for people who don't want to commit to a full size or for people traveling and need smaller sizes to save on space and weight.

Clio's kill cover foundation mini size is the PERFECT size to get a good amount of uses without the foundation going to waste in case you ~dislike it~ or if you're like me and can never finish a full bottle without moving on to something else.

I feel like Clio products are a bit pricier then some other brands so this was a great choice for me to try this foundation and decide if I wanted a full size one after this (make it to the end for my decision? hahaha)
