[Review] Zury Sis Aline-H wig Edgy in Som Rt Burgundy

Hello all~

I've really been in an "American" makeup style mood so most of my looks definitely lean more towards "sultry" then previously.

Looking forward to doing more asian inspired looks soon since I feel like I'm getting rusty with them, though!

Anyways, here is another wig review! This time, I went with a more chic long bob instead of my usual long curled hair that I love so much which proved to be a nice, refreshing change~

[Review] Freetress Karissa in HazePurple {Picture Heavy}

Hello all~

As most of your know, I am absolutely obsessed with wigs. 

I started out with just a few "as needed" for cosplays but it quickly transitioned into a full swing addiction.

I enjoy wigs of all kinds and colors but recently I've been really into lace fronts in "creative" colors...especially when they're well priced! They're technically "normal" colors to me since I'm so used to wearing them for cosplay but they're seen as trendy colors in normal fashion wigs.

The colors I usually stick to in "fashion wigs" like these are reds but purples really speak to me as well. 

One of my favorite beauty supply stores in Jackosnville posted a wig on instagram that was very similar to this! I almost purchased that exact one but found out the color was a more red purple. I LOVE violet reds but I was looking for a more blue purple because I wanted to possible use it for a Psylocke cosplay as well. I've been on the search for the perfect Psylocke wig so every time I see a purple wig, I think of her.

Anyways, before I get really off topic, follow the jump for the rest of the post!

[Sponsored Review] Petite Cherry Jasmine Set

~Hello~ 

This review is a little different then my usual ones since it's not a cosmetic or lens review! 

Today I'll be reviewing a lingerie set sponsored to me by Petite Cherry. 

Petite Cherry is a lingerie company that carries Japanese styled lingerie. What does this mean?

Well, in the US, we definitely have a certain style of bras and underwear that tend to lean on the more "sexy" style while japanese under garments tend to go for a more "cute/sexy" aesthetic. Most of their sets or pieces have a lot of lace or cute designs that definitely separate them from their western counterparts.

See what I thought about this set below!

[Sponsored Review] Luxury babe 16 in Blue

Hello all~

I'm back again with another lens review for Luxury Babe Lens!

I've been trying to plan out my looks a bit better so that there's not a lot of overlap or similar looks in hopes that it'll keep the reviews from getting boring~ 

Halloween is coming up and I have a lot of themed looks in planning so hopefully I can get them all done in a timely manner! For this review, I wanted to try to accomplish and edgier feel so I ended up using a small, portable ring light instead of just natural light and I think they definitely give the pictures a different look! It was also extremely overcast not he one day that I could get this done, haha.

Please follow the jump for the rest of the review and pictures!

[Sponsored Review] BUNNY 3 COLOR GRAY + Surprise Guest~

~Hello all~ 

Recently, I've been working on reviews with cosplay pictures but while I'm doing that, I'm also working on doing makeup looks that I normally wouldn't do.

If you haven't noticed, neutrals are usually the colors I stick to. That means browns, taupes, champagnes, etc. I've started to work on stepping out into brighter colors and hopefully one day, different shapes, looks, and all that other fun stuff. I know this will take a while to step out of my comfort zone but I'm trying! I'm used to doing crazy looks on models, but definitely not myself, haha.

Here's to slowly getting out of the box!

[Sponsored Review] Luxury Babe lens 17 in Gray

Whattttt? Another post!? So soon?!

I'm trying my best to get all of these reviews out in a timely manner and making sure that each look is different from the next!

Luxurybabe sponsored my several lenses to review for them and, after my Kasumi Cosplay Lens Review,  I couldn't think of a gray eyed characters that matched any of the wigs I own so I decided to do a dark blue smokey eye. A lot more dramatic then I would normally go for...but hey, this is a blog! And it'd get boring if I did the same looks over and over again. 

[Sponsored Review] SCL 23 C-BROWN

Hello all~

I bring you another circle lens review to start off the next week! I have a few things planned for future reviews including makeup tutorials and cosplay makeup for circle lens reviews!

I know I keep saying that I'll do more posts/ others posts in the future and I don't really get to them..so we'll see how well I stick to this. xD

Anywho~

[Review] Isis Brown Sugar Lace Front BS206 in Red Velvet (Pic Heavy)

Say " Hello" to my cat again! 8D

She always loves to try and get cuddles when I'm taking pictures and I'm too much of a softy to say "no" so I end up just petting here for like...20 mins. 

Anywhooo~

Recently, I went to an event in Orlando (post to come later) and I really wanted something to spice up my look. If you didn't realize, no matter how many times I dye my hair, I always go back to black soon after because I'm lazy and the upkeep is insane when you have naturally dark hair. 

I was in a time crunch (by "time crunch" I mean it was a Tuesday and I needed a wig before I left on Friday)

I scoured the depths of ebay and google for a wig seller in the US since I knew that I'd have a better chance of getting it in that short amount of time....

[Event] Premiere Orlando 2015 (Pic Heavy)

Hello all~

I did mention that I wanted to start blogging about events that I go to so this is me trying to live up to that.

At the end of May (and beginning of June) I went to Premiere Orlando 2015. Premiere is an education and trade show for professionals in the beauty industry ONLY.

What does this mean? You can only attend if you are a licensed cosmetologist, barber, esthetician, nail tech etc. (There are some exceptions...like if you own a salon and spa.)

The show is a 3 day event consisting of Saturday, Sunday and Monday. Saturday is, at least in Orlando, an education day. This is usually the day that they host classes that you have to pay for , for a "hands-on" class but they also have free classes throughout the day.

Sunday and Monday are mainly "exhibit" days where all the brands have ELABORATE booths where you can purchase their products for a special "show" price.

I had originally wanted to take a few paid classes but, with the wedding coming up, I had to save where I could. Instead, I just went to the show on sunday and monday for the floor since I always learn so much there anyways. Andddddd the shopping is great, haha.

[Review] Covergirl Super Sizer Mascara and Intensify Me Liquid Liner

Hello all~

I've been pretty busy recently which means that I don't get a lot of time to post at all...but I've been trying really hard to get back into it and set aside time just for this.

I recently got back from a really fun photoshoot weekend where I was the MUA and I've been wanting to share that with you all.

I really want to start blogging about events and fun stuff that I do in my life so that I can move this blog towards a more "general" beauty blog direction instead of just reviews. (There's always this weird feeling I get when there's too many "I"s in my posts x_x)

Anyways~

My mom is an avid freebie-er and I love visiting her every month because not only do I get to spend time with my parents, I also get a bag of goodies! 8D

Every now and then she gets influenster boxes and hands them off to me to review. This is one of those boxes! 

Obviously, the products were sent for a review by them but , as always, all of the following are my own opinions.

[Sponsored Review] Costume Super Center Red and White Super Hero Boots

Hello all!

I've been gone for a while since it's gotten pretty hectic in my life.
First it was the holidays, then it was bad weather and then my second job started taking off!

There's tons of reviews backed up now that I'll be (hopefully) getting out ASAP.

Costume Super Center honored me with a chance to review a product that would be help along my next cosplay and also be featured in it.
At the time, I had been looking at the Kotobukiya Bishoujo series that are based off of Shunya Yamashita's artwork and was inspired.


By what exactly?...

[Review] INGLOT Freedom Eyeshadows 318/ 330/ 30/ 393/ 397/ 357/ 563/ 450 {Picture Heavy}

Hello all~

More INGLOT reviews coming your way!

All of the INGLOT cosmetics that I've been reviewing were purchased by me at The Makeup Show Orlando!

I've been super excited to do all these reviews so that I could get more cosmetic reviews on here~
The following post is about 8 shadows that I picked up~

I don't want to give too much away from the review so click the jump and read along!

Full details about my look (Wig, Contacts, etc) are in the post!

[Review] Inglot AMC Gel Liner 77 (Black)

Another INGLOT review here ! This time with a gel eyeliner that I've had my eyes on for a long time now!
I LOVEEE gel eyeliners! My eyeliners of choice go from gel, liquid, cake to pencil. I just love the smooth lines that you normally get from gels and liquids. Cakes have similar effects since you mix them with something but a lot of them aren't water resistant. Pencils are just a pain to me, haha.

I've read some other reviews about the AMC gel liner but I figured I'd add mine out there anyways~ It's my way of forcing myself to blog since I always think "well...there's so many other posts about this product from other bloggers so I don't need to" which really causes a block in my posts.

Anyways! Click the jump for the rest of the post!

[Review] INGLOT Duraline

Hello all!

I have soooo many things on the back burner right now and I'm trying to get caught up. I just started a second job so it's been taking a bit of my extra time and I haven't been able to focus on blogging recently. SO SORRY!

Anyways, a few weeks ago, I went to The Makeup Show Orlando and bought tons of goodies! I'll be posting about the makeup show at a later date since there's sooooo much I wanna say but I figured I'd start marking stuff of the list of reviews!

At the makeup show, I was pretty excited to check out the inglot booth since I had yet to try out their cosmetics but have wanted to for quite a while. One of the items I picked up was their Duraline! It's basically a mixing medium that turns eyeshadows in liner!

[Sponsored Review] Lolitadressesshop Cotten Sweet Strawberry Sundae OP Infanta

Hello all!

I bring you a review about my latest addition to my loli closet!
Lolitadressesshop graciously sponsored me this ADORABLE lolita dress and I can't wait to share my experience with you~
Recently I went to my first local loli mett-up since moving (a year ago x__x) and I've been really wanting to expand on my lolita clothing. Most of my stuff is bodyline or from an Indie brand that I've worked with before. Since I'm still relatively new to actually dressing this way, I've been getting very simple basics to get my feet wet~
Hopefully I'll be expanding more soon!

[Sponsored Review] Vassen Rainbow Eyes Grayish Blue

Hello again lovelies~

Recently I've really been giving thought to posts that I could do that AREN'T reviews. Reviews are lovely and all but I think blogs are, or at least can be, diaries. Digital ones that are so much easier to type then write out by hand.
On that note, I really came up with nothing. I don't really know what to write about so, here I am, asking my lovely readers what they'd like to read about.
Would you like behind the scenes posts about photo shoots?
Makeup how-tos, events, opinions on certain topics, etc. Please let me know! :) I always love hearing from my readers...it let's me know that there are actually people out there, haha.

Anyways, on to what this post is really about...which is a review.

Loveshoppingholics has been so generous as to continue to sponsor me lenses and I'm so thankful to them! Up to this point, I don't know what I'd blog about if it weren't for the reviews I had to do. xD

This time, I chose Vassen's Rainbow Eyes in Grayish Blue. I've been on a blue kick (which I never really got off of...I love blue and green lenses but I like to have variety as well, haha)

Makeup Swap #1

YAYE!
My first makeup swap is officially COMPLETE.
Fammy, a girl in California, emailed me about a swap, we got it going and today I received my package!

We both put tracking on our packages so I knew it was coming today and I couldn't wait! I waited for the postman..but right when I turned away..he came and I didn't realize it until later...>>


ANYWAYS! She individually wrapped every single thing! In cupcake paper! I felt so bad because my package was not even close to being that cute. >.<
