Pinky Paradise Review 2

Vassen Dolly Plus Red

If you would like information on postage and packaging please read my last review ~ here.

I'm sorry this review is late and short, I have had a lot going on right now and have only just got some time to make this review.  (╯•ω•╰)

I always but from Pinky Paradise at halloween time because they always have awesome offers on. 

These ones I purchased last October for multiple cosplays. Please follow my blog for cosplay updates, if you're interested. Examples of cosplay~

These lenses last a year, if you are familiar with my blog you know I always get yearly lenses.

The diameter is 15mm, which is pretty big. 

Here are photos of the lenses to compare:

As you can see the enlargement is significant but not too big.

The colour of these is really bright and bold and I really like the black details and how it slightly fades into your iris/pupil.

I really like these lenses, I can wear them for a good amount of time and have had no discomfort other than occasional 'tickling'.

My Ruby Rose Cosplay (First Hand Made Cosplay)

Here is my video diary of my journey to make this cosplay, I am so proud of myself. I know it still has a few things missing but for the time I had it's not bad at all.

So after the convention I had a photoshoot, originally for my photography A-Level exam but now it's completed I wanted to share them.
This photoshoot was so long it made 3 contact sheets but here are a few of my favourites.

Here's my final piece from this shoot -

Thank you to my awesome friend Shannon for making my Scythe, and thank you to my sister for helping me with the photoshoot. 

And thank you for visiting my blog~ 

SpreePicky Review 2 ♡

Light Grey Winter Candy Fleece Cloak 

Coat Hoodie Cape 

･*:..:☆

So I treated myself to another item from SpreePicky, this time a cape~. ♪(๑ᴖ◡ᴖ๑)♪

I mainly bought this because it reminded me of a cape that Ciel (Kuroshitsuji) wears in one of the episodes. But I also really wanted a cape because they are cute, and I wanna wear more lolita which it shall compliment. So I chose light grey because Ciel's is light grey, but to be fair grey goes with most things as well. (´ヮ`)

The price of this is $35.99 which is around £23 which isn't bad for a coat, but of course free shipping which is great. It took two weeks to get to me in England which is always nice when it's quick shipping. (／・ω・)／

The cape was well packaged, the outer packaged was a bubble wrapped parcel and inside the cape was secure in a clear plastic bag that says Spreepicky on it. (⌒▽⌒)☆

And as you can see they were also kind enough to write me a postcard, it made me smile so much, and a pretty gold hearted necklace.  (ﾉ´ヮ´)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧

They super lovely.

♥

Here is the cape when I first opened it. 

As you can see there is a few creases but once you get it hug up they come straight out. 

Look at the cute label, it's a little angel wing, I did have a close up but my camera photos from that day have vanished. 

The quality of this is amazing, though a few 'puffy' bits have come of the fluffy lining at the bottom it hasn't affected it, still super soft and thick. All the white parts are the same fluffy material. And the grey main material is really soft too, the whole thing is super comfy. °˖✧◝(⁰▿⁰)◜✧˖°

Also it has pockets, which is also, I appreciates pockets so much, they are just really handy.... Get it, bad joke... But yeah that makes it extra great for me. ‧⁺◟( ᵒ̴̶̷̥́ ·̫ ᵒ̴̶̷̣̥̀ )

It also has a hood as you can see and string inside with the pompoms on so you can tighten it, however the hood is pretty tight originally, I've being trying to stretch mine, it is stretchy material, to make the hood a bit better. I don't like it hugging my face... (´-ω-`)

Also it does state on the website the measurements for this as it is one size. I really like the size I think it's great for my height (don't really know what that is... somewhere around 160cm I think). Also it is very much a cap and has no sleeve parts, incase anyone was wondering. 

So to summarise, great quality, soft and very comfortable fabric. I am very happy with this and will wear it as much as I can, probably wear it more when it turns winter again. ヾ(๑╹ꇴ◠๑)ﾉ”

Thank you for reading, I hope this was helpful. (✿╹◡╹)

Light In The Box Review 1 [Cosplay Buys]

Light In The Box

Previous Purchase

Before I go on to the main review, I'd like to mention a mention of another wig I purchased from Lightinthebox. This was my first ever wig, and originally was for Arthur Kirkland (England) cosplay... I am going to cosplay him...

I originally thought it was just over a year when I got this, but it will actually be 2 years in october! And this wig is only just recently starting to 'die'. So I have high standards for lightinthebox wigs, this blonde wig is lovely and thick and soft, and easy to style (so glad I got it for my first wig). 

15 year old me, who had no idea on how to wear/style a wig xD

But I did go to school with this wig once and no one knew it was a wig, until I went the next day with blue, longer hair.

Picture from earlier this year.

Camelia Gumi Cosplay Wig 

 ♡

So this year I finally started to cosplay and ever since I have created such a massive list of characters that I want to cosplay, Gumi from Vocaloids being one (I want to cosplay the majority of the girl vocaloids...). 

I wasn't actually planning on a Gumi cosplay so soon but I generally wanted a new wig so came across this one on Lightinthebox.com. I actually bought my first ever wig from them so I trust their quality (I bought it about a year ago and it's only just starting to 'weaken'). 

But any way, enough of the 'back story'. 

Here is the main photo the website provides:

 Look how pretty the gradient is.

Price

This wig is originally £12.95, which is quite cheap for heat resistant fiber wig. 

But, as you knowI love sales, I got this wig for £8 I think it was, something around that... Which is an amazing price!

Plus it's free shipping, and you have the option to pay for insurance of the postage, which (if my memory is correct) is around £1. I can't remember where they ship from, but it's nice to know it's insured if anything was to happen.

Postage and Packaging

After I purchased the wig, it took around 3 weeks to get to me, which I respect as I am unsure where they ship from.

The wig comes in a cardboard like this, and this was (if I remember correctly) a plastic packaging.
All packaging was secure and nothing was damaged. 

Inside the box the the wig comes in a plastic wallet, which is handy for future storage.
The wig is wrapped in a thin net and has a cardboard strip around it, to help prevent the wig from moving too much and tangling/damaging.

The wig

Here's what the wig looks like after I took it out of the packaging:

No tangles :D

 The wig is so silky, feels really nice.
As I mentioned before the wig is made of heat resistant fibers.

This wig is as pretty as it looks on the website.

 This bit looks a bit darker and the yellow looks a bit longer, but that may be if you want to trim it a bit?

Like most wigs it originally comes with a long fringe so you can style it how you want.

Before styling:

This wig is so pretty! I was really tempted to keep it like this but I feel as though Gumi's hair is more of a full fringe so...

[I have a video on how I cut this wig, if anyone is interested. Link at the bottom of the blog.]

 This wig is so nice and an even nicer price, so I definetly recommend this wig.
In my video review I did notice a slittle loose thread in the netting but that may be my doing as I hadn't noticed it before, though it won't be hard to sew back in. 
I haven't cosplayed Gumi yet (working on Matryoshka outfit) but I have worn this wig quite a few times.

[Picture from my last review (Romwe).]

I can't wait to cosplay her!
