[Sponsored Review] ES 6 Color Contour Palette and Jealousness Diamond Beauty Lash Series

Hello again!

So, as promised, I'm starting to blog a bit more now since everything's settled down a bit on my end.
Sponsored reviews are easier to do at the moment since it's giving me a chance to play around with my whole set up for pictures and everything...plus I don't really have a life outside of work right now so there's not really anything to blog about...

I suppose I could have blogged about Dragoncon..but meh. xD Anyways! I bring to you a double review that was kindly sponsored by KKCENTERHK.

They generously sent me a few items to review so here they are!

Behind the Scenes: Creative Week

This past week has been MAJORLY busy.

I had a jam packed week of photoshoots in Miami and Wellington, and then during the weekend, I was attending Megacon in Orlando.

This post is picture heavy so I'll be putting all of it under a cut (which I normally do anyways :3)

(I'll be making a separate post for Megacon even though I didn't take many pictures. :/ I forgot my camera in my hotel room and it's about a 5-10 minute walk that I didn't feel like taking. xD)

[Sponsored Review] Puffy 3 tone Brown

Hello again~

To take a break from the makeup reviews, I thought I would share this circle lens review as well as some quick snapshots that I took at my most recent photoshoot.

A little while ago, UNIQSO generously sent me a pair of lenses. Unfortunately, they weren't the correct prescription so I sent them a message and they sent me a new pair! No questions asked! They're extremely nice and professional and get back to you super quickly. GREAT SERVICE.

ANYWAYS, I ended up getting the correct pair a few days before this planned photoshoot and I thought "PERFECT! I CAN WEAR THESE"!

Oldschool Black and White Lolita shoot

PRESENTING, ONCE AGAIN, another collaboration with Elegy Clothing. :3

This time, Chubi sent me 2 outfits~ The first one is (obviously) an old school styled black and white coord.

The more I collaborate with Chubi, the more I'm realizing how unprepared I am to accessorize these looks. I don't mean headdresses or anything like that since Chubi normally supplies those as well, but I'm talking about wigs and shoes.
Now, I'm a wig addict. I have over 20 wigs but even with my wig collection, I'm running out with things that match! I guess it doesn't help that some of my wigs are similar colors and styles x___x. Blech. Shoes I'm not TOO big on. I do love me some heels and I have a lot...but almost none of them are loliable. I have a pair of white platform maryjanes (which I have been using in all of my shoots so far xD) but that's about it. Luckily for this outfit I have a pair of black wedges that I've never worn...>>

Bur, UHG. This makes me so frustrated because I know I'm going to have to shell out money to update  my wig and shoe collection and it kills meee. (I'm super cheap if people didn't realize. LOL) I love shopping at flea markets and thrift stores and to me "on sale" means take an additional 50% off of 50%. xD
I LIKE KEEPING MY MONEY AND SPENDING IT AT THE SAME TIME. x_____x

OH YEAH. Did I mention my birthday just passed? Wooooo. T__T
I still don't have a drivers license...Someone should just shoot me. I'm so useless. x_x

ANYWAYS. THE OUTFITS. YES.
Today I received the package filled with lovely clothing~
Chubi always wraps the clothing in tissue paper and I always feel bad when I tear into it...>> I like opening things...xD I'm always so surprised at how much stuff she can fold into these boxes! xD

I tried on the outfits right away! 8D

This is the oufit right out of the box with a petti under it. :3

Since it's an old school coord, Chubi suggested I keep the hair as natural as possible so I put on a curly brown wig and tied them into pigtails. It's super adorable but I also think that with the long dark hair there's was...too much dark?
So I tried on a blonde wig. x3

This wig has been with me for almost 4 years and I can tell it's getting old, haha. But it still looks lovely.

Here's some photo spam of my face :D

Shoot day is Tomorrow/Today! (I'm writing this on the 18th...but will probably finish it on the 19th which is when the shoot for this look is. Lol)

So THIS is actually how I wore my hair xD

FACESSSSSSSSSSSS.

MAN. I HATE MOSQUITOS! BUT THEY LOVE ME. D:

All that above? Yeah I lied. I ended up shooting this outfit twice. LOL

DONE

Independence day Lolita shoot! (Featuring..Captain America and Wonder Woman?)

HELLO ALL.

Pfff, I act like someone is actually reading this junk. I know I suck at blogging. (:_;)
Oh well~ I guess I can look back when I'm 50 or something and read about how boring my life was...if my account isn't deleted by then...which it probably will be...>>

ANYWAYS,  about 2 weeks ago, Kendra came up again to shoot another collaboration with Elegy Clothing. In a way I feel bad that Kendra gets to hog all this lolita goodness but at least I know I won't be disappointed with the results, haha. Most of the really amazing photographers live everywhere except where I'm at... :( Which is also why Kendra has to drive 4 hours to get to me. x_x

Getting back on topic because I just know you guys are dying to find out about my adventure in this photoshoot. T_T

Since July 4th was coming up (plus the Avengers just came out) we all decided that a super hero inspired shoot would be super cute and fitting for the holiday. THUS CAPTAIN AMERICA AND WONDER WOMAN WERE BORNNNN.

I kept the make-up relatively simple. CA's was more neutral while WW was more sultry? like. I would really like to expand to more crazy make-up looks but I definitely feel that it wouldn't exactly be suited to the type of lolita looks that I prefer. Actually...no. I doubt they would suit lolita at all. I ADORE the doll look and prefer to keep my loli make-up on that side. haha.
The studio was rented out for a full day (8 hours) so there was tons of time for make-up and different outfits as well. Florida was getting hit by Hurricane? Tropical Storm? Debby, so locations were out unfortunately.

Here's some behind the scenes shots.
CA actually had 2 wigs. One more of a short boyish cut and the other a more hime styled wig (although when it was in the beret you couldn't really tell). We just wanted to see how different it would look and both came out super cute!

With Wonder Woman, I went for a darker rusty red eye shadow (that you can barely see :P) and a dark red lip. Seeing it now, I wish that I had went a bit darker but, that can always be saved for a more gothic look which I would also love to do.

Anddd here's the very first preview that came out.

The wristlets on WW were actually an add on that Kendra felt was necessary since WW wears her cuffs/gauntlets/wristlets/etc. (It was green tape. xD)

I also just ordered stuff from Missha today! So when it comes in I'll be doing reviews~

:D

Flower Dream Lolita shoot~

A while ago I posted about Kendra Paige, coming up for a week of shoots~

So far this is the only picture set that's been..half? finished? We had to shoot the outfit in 2 different locations because the first one didn't turn out.

Don't get me wrong, the pictures were AMAZING! But we went to late (it was a flower field) so most of the flowers were gone. :(

The dress and accessories were made by Miss Chubi of Elegy Clothing. This dress (I think) was made in about 1-2 weeks and it was AMAZING! Even on this sample, all the edges were serged, there wasn't an edge that wasn't finished off and the details were beautiful. I'm a huge fan of j-fashion and love to dabble in different ones but gyaru and lolita are definitely my favorites just because of the girly flare in most of their subgenres.

There's still pictures to be done and among them is my favorite! This oneee

Wig is from Cyperous

Shoes are just some normal platform white maryjanes

White stockings are from Walmart. xD

I also did another lolita shoot with the same designer~ Will post about that also! YAYE
