[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] Luxury Babe Lenses 16 Brown (Picture Heavy) feat: Ahri!

Hello~

This is my last installment in my current sponsorship from LuxuryBabe lens!

A little while ago, LuxuryBabeLens contacted me to review a few of their lenses and let me pick some out. 

I had really wanted to be organized with my picks and have everything planned out but this one took the longest! I feel really bad that I had made them wait for so long for this review but I really wanted everything to come together.

I ordered a wig and a pair of ears to match the look because I knew exactly which character I had wanted to use for this review.

AHRI from LoL (League of Legends)!

[Review] Etsy Seller: AdamsGardenofEden Bath Bomb Calm Calamity

Hello again!

Since the wedding planning started, I've been looking on Etsy for a lot of bridesmaids gift ideas that I could put into bags for them and, since I'm huge about anything beauty related, I thought of bath bombs!

Originally I had planned on getting a lot of different scents but decided against it since I, of course, would end up picking scents that I personally liked and not the girl in question.

I still ended up being sucked into the land of handmade products on etsy and made a decently large order with AdamsGardenofEden on etsy because I've been in the mood to take a lot of baths and whats better then a colorful, fragrant bath?!

NOTHING!

TREAT YO SELF!

I have a Lush back in jacksonville that I've been too but it's always nice to support small businesses as well.

There were 8 bath bombs in total that I purchased and I've finally begun my "bath adventure"! I'm posting preview images on my instagram @mikilanii if you wanted to see them before I posted reviews!

[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.

[Sponsored Review] Klenspop Bunny Color Brown Lens

Hello again~

I bring you a new lens review from KLENSPOP who sponsored me this pair~

Honestly, I haven't worn circle lenses in a while since I don't go to many events anymore and I feel like my glasses help me see better details at work. ~But~ I'm looking to start cosplaying and attending more events again which means I'll be in the need of new lenses.

There's always tons of designs coming out so it's nice to have these reviews to see how they all stack up against each other. 

See how this pair did!~

[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.
