[Review] Wig-Supplier/ L-email wigs

I received two wigs a little while ago that I used in my last two circle lens reviews~
Both wigs came from Wig-Supplier. (Yes. the name is clickable :3)

If you can't remember what they looked like here is a picture to refresh your memory! --->

Deco Lolita collaboration shoot~

Second outfit that Chubi from Elegy Clothing sent me to shoot in~

This outfit was definitely the most fun for me between the two because it was a 4 in 1!

It comes with a salopette which can be switched from skirt to bloomer-y shorts, and the top part also comes off so you can wear just the blouse with either/or as well!

This style is really adorable and I love it so much...but definitely not as much as dresses with the cupcake shape. I said a while ago that I'm a huge fan of sweet, hime, everything girly, etc and it's mainly because I LOVE pink and they have tons of cupcake shapes so I get the best of both of the things that I love! x3

This outfit was shot in studio since I can't really think of any locations that would be suitable for this outfit.

Since I received the outfit, I was racking my brain for a way to wear my wig and I just couldn't think of anything. I really wish I had some super curly wigs or maybe a split one or even some pastel action. But alas,  haven't purchased any new wigs in about a year. Must change this soon. I'll be buying new circle lenses soon so maybe I'll buy wigs then...

ANYWAYS

The day of the shoot I had to put together a super quick hair style and decided upon...

THE GIANT PURPLE BOW IS SO ADORABLE! I kept telling Chubi how much I liked it because it's so big and cute. :3
The wig. Yes. That's what I was talking about. I ended up just simply braiding part of the wig and eventually tied it into ponytails.

I was originally going to make two braided buns on each side...but I over estimated how much hair was on this wig, haha.

I purchased a pair of shoes at wal-mart since I was tired of wearing the same white mary-janes but they didn't have my exact size so I had to get a 5 in kid sizes. I really don't understand why kids have such big shoes sizes. x__x I normally wear a size 6 in women's so the fact that girls shoes 5 is too big? (I wear a 4) They should just switch the adult sizes if their feet get that big. T__T

DONE

[Review] Jamberry Nail Shield Black and White Houndstooth

Herro~

I bring you another review!

A dew days ago I singed up for a sample of Jamberry Nails! Basically, it's similar to all those other nail "sheets" that you peel off and apply to your nails.

They had a few designs for your to choose from and I ended up getting this one~

The Black and White Houndstooth which retails for $15 for a whole set which does about 2-3 sets of nails.

Jamberry Nails has a GIANT selection. Here is a catalog they sent with the samples.

Among my favorites were these two!

Turtles and pink butterflies! (Pictures taken directly from the site) Both of them are super cute and would make amazing accent nails!

In the sample you get two small sheets which covers about 4 nails depending on how wide/long your nails are. Sometimes you get two of the same one, sometimes you get two separate ones. The process to putting them on is super easy! 

You'll need~

1. A hair blower/dryer

2. The samples of course!

3. A nail file

4. Either nail clippers of small scissors to cut the product

Directions:

"Jamberry Nail Shields are designed to be easily applied in a salon or at home.

Step 1: Clean nails with nail polish remover or alcohol. (Clean, oil free nails are one of the most important steps of the application)

Step 2: Cut and file nails to desired length and shape.

Step 3: Buff top of the nail and push back cuticle.

Step 4: Match nail (finger or toe) to the nail shield that best fits.

Step 5: Peel off nail shield and warm with a blow-dryer 10-15 seconds or until soft and flexible.

Step 6: When warm, press the shield onto the nail.  Apply firm pressure around edges to adhere the shield to the nail.  Use rubber cuticle pusher to seal the shield around the cuticle.

Step 7:  Trim the top with scissors and file off remaining shield using a downward motion to remove excess.

Step 8: Apply heat and pressure to the shield again until it is sealed to the nail. (Repeating this step several times helps create a tight seal to the nail surface and increases wear time)

Optional  Step 9: For active users you can add a small amount of nail glue to the free edge to better seal the nail shield. 

How to remove:

There are 2 removal options for Jamberry Nail Shields. For Nail Shields that have been worn for more than 10 days we recommend following the Gentle Removal Process.

Quick Removal Process: Heat the shields with a blowdryer for 15 seconds. Then break the seal by getting under the edge of the shield with your opposite thumb nail. Slowly peel the shield from side to side. If the Nail Shields are not peeling easily or the adhesive is still bonded to the nail bed then follow the Gentle Removal Process.

Gentle Removal Process: Soak the Nail Shields in nail polish remover for 20-30 seconds and gently rub them off. Soaking will break down the adhesive bond and allow them to easily slide of the nail bed. "

This little thing covers two nails! :O


I chose to just use the houndstooth one as an accent nail on my ring fingers while I gave the rest of my nails a black french tip with glitter! 8D
The directions are pretty straight forward and hard to mess up and it's not hard to just repeal off if you mess up!The product was pretty easy to use and, as the directions stated, I warmed up the sheet before I placed it on my nail so it was very easy to mold to my nail. The sheet that I received was  a tad big for my ring, pointer, pinky and middle fingers but too small for my thumb so I had to deal.

I definitely think you'd be getting a lot for your money at $15 a set since each oval can cover around 2 nails and they say they give you 2-4 sets!
If you use them on all of your nails you obviously won't be getting as good of a deal as you would if you do just accents of course but I think patterns like this are better in small quantities. 




Pros:
Easy to use
Decently Quick
No nail polish smell
Quick patterns without the mess


Cons:
May not perfectly fit all nails
Can't file down the ends perfectly all the time
Can be seen as expensive for people who buy solid colors
Not for people who only like solid colors




TO ORDER:
Just go to the site: Jamberry Nails ,which is by Dianna Williams who is a SUPER NICE, look through the selections by clicking "Buy Jamberry" (you can also look at different genres) and click "add to cart" on the ones you like!

Cosplay look: Stocking from Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt

My first cosplay look for this blog!
Basically, whenever I do a different character, I'll be posting the make-up that I used that particular day, etc.

FIRST LOOK IS STOCKING. From Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt!
Stocking is seen as a "goth loli" character with light green eyes. Her everyday clothing is normally dark colored but every now and then they have her in all pink, light blue, etc outfits. (Not including her angel outfit) She also has a major sweet tooth! 8D

I debuted this cosplay...2 years ago? At megacon~ It's her waitress outfit from one of the episodes~ I had a panty but we didn't get to take any pictures together unfortunately. :(
With this outfit, she wears skates and...I can't skate for my life. T__T I bought skates just to be accurate...but I cannot stay upright on them and it makes me sad. I'm fine with roller blades though. :_;

☆Favorite: Lip Balms☆

Lip balms are essential to me. If my lips aren't properly exfoliated and moisturized I just can't wear any other lip products. Lip sticks will accentuate the cracks and dry skin and it's just. OJIHUGIYFVH

There's tons of lip balms out there ready to be tried out! The most notable brands, drugstore wise, I believe are EOS, Nivea, Chapstick (of course), and Burt's Bees. There's of course HUNDREDS of other brands that sell lip balms.

I've made my way around tons of lip balms but have never found one that I've used until I hit the base. Until now.

I'm a huge fan of Nivea lip products. I've tried most of them and always keep at least one around wherever I go. But, my all time favorite is the Nivea Vitamin Swirl. My mom received it in the mail for free to try out and I stole it from her~ Since then, I've used it every single day until it turned into this.

The color is a dark pink color swirled with white which actually shows up as a really soft pink color on the lips. This product is AMAZING. It smells great (super fruit :3), feels great, and keeps the moisture in! I love having soft lips (I'm sure my bf appreciates it also) so whenever I slack on keeping them moisturized, I layer it on at night and wipe it off (plus all the dead skin) in the morning with a damp towel and VOILA! Beautiful, soft lips.

I really need to get a new one...but I'm waiting for my nivea coupon to come in, haha. I'm also looking forward to trying the berry swirl which looks like a peach colored version of this. 8D

My lips with just Nivea Vitamin Swirl on. It gives off such a beautiful, natural pink color. I LOVE IT SO MUCHHHHH.

Since I'm low on my Vitamin Swirl (saving the left over product in the base for special days until I get a new one) my sephora birthday gift came just in time!

For those who don't know, Sephora gives away a different birthday gift every year which mainly contains small sample/tester sized products. This year was a Fresh. Sugar lip treatment and Rose mini lip duo.

I haven't used the Rose one yet since I was mainly concerned about keeping my lips moisturized.

The size is SUPER TINY (since it's just a tester size) and sadly, the bullet broke at the base so I had to scrape the product out and put it into a little container. 

The product itself applies super smoothly and it just feels great on the lips. It has a soft lemony scent (nothing too bad) which is nice because my bf will sometimes use my lip balms and he hates anything that smells super fruity or has any color in it. xD

There's no color, completely clear but gives a nice gloss.

The only downside is, the full sized product is a on the pricey side, especially compared to Nivea.

The full product is .15 oz and costs $22.50! So expensive compared to my $2.59 Vitamin Swirl. :(

I LOVE these two products so much and I'm sure I'll like the Fresh. Rose and the Nivea Berry swirl as well.

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
