Circle Lens Review~ Candy Magic King Size Violet on light eyes

Wassup?! It's been forever since I have done a review on circle lenses! Everything has been, lolita this, BJD that, lately... And, since I've been wasting all my money on those things, I haven't been wasting my money on circle lenses! But... since my old pairs dried up/got old, I got to buy one new pair! And I had decided on the Candy Magic Green, but... since I bought them during the whole 'Black Friday'/ 'Cyber Monday' time of year, they were out of stock in my prescription. But they (by 'they' I mean ilovecirclelenses.com) didn't realize that when they took my money. SO! Being the super nice people that they are, they offered me different pair of my choice, and a free mystery pair for the inconvenience! <3 

I chose the Candy Magic Violet from their site, and they sent me Max Misty Brown for free!

Onto le review~!

Design: Personally, I love the Candy Magic series. They have an excellent design and nice color. Now, I know that these designs show up a bit more opaque on light colored eyes since there isn't this dark color behind it to show through. They have a dark ring on the outer circle, making them circle-ish circle lenses :P and also providing the all important enlarging effect. Also, I know that these aren't the most natural lenses. They are more suited for the round, dolly-eyed gyaru look than any normal look. Try and wear at least some eyeliner with these lenses to balance them out.

Color: They're freakin' PURPLE! D: (or should I say: :D ) Purple, of course, is not a color that occurs naturally in one's eyeballs... But no worries! These aren't super noticeably purple, in fact, they look rather brown unless in strong light. For instance, I wore these to my lolita group's Christmas party, and no one even noticed that they were purple until I pointed it out to them... They all thought that my eyes were brown. Only downside? It IS, indeed, purple. So... unless you have huge pupils, or have eyes so dark that your whole eye looks like a pupil, it's gonna look weird since it's not a normal color, so it's harder to create the illusion of it being your real eye color. 

Enlargement: In my opinion, this is the most important part of a circle lens' design, whether it provides enlarging effects or not. This design provides an excellent enlargement with its thick black ring. Big and dolly-like! Especially these. For some reason, in my opinion, darker circle lens provide better enlargement...no idea why. :/ The downside, is that, sadly, it IS indeed a bit too large to go without making yourself up some to prevent looking like an alien.

Comfort: Hmm... Well, they slipped right on in easy and comfortably, but they seem to dry out quicker than my other Candy Magics. It may have something to do with the color? But it's most likely just the batch...

Suited for light eyes?

Uh.. for the first time, I'm not sure... 'Cause they work well on my eyes, but that's only because I have large pupils, so most/all of my real eye color is covered most of the time. But... from what I've seen from areas with strong light, when my pupils get smaller, I'm not sure....

Reveiw: Angelic Pretty Etoile Twins/ Twins Etoile Bustier JSK

Uhm... Hi? Again, I feel that I must apologize for neglecting my blog for so long... But I'm back, with a much overdue review of AP's Etoile Twins~!

Etoile (star) is actually the highest level that a ballerina can attain, higher than even prima ballerina, though, this term is generally not used in many ballet companies now... Except for the French, but, hey, it's their term, so... I digress. 

My point was that, well, of course it was going to be a ballet themed print! In fact, I probably would've been very disappointed if they had literally taken twin stars and stuck them on the dress. NOT. CUTE. (To me at least... Ballet, however, I LOVE) ...Again, I digress. 

Let's begin, shall we?

 Now, I was very skeptical as to how much nicer a 'big brand' dress could be...and I'm still kind of skeptical. I mean, without a doubt, it's nicer, for starters, it has lining! But, I do have one complaint, and with Bodyline, I didn't really have any complaints on my favorite dress by them... But anyways, the ZIPPER! It just simply FRUSTRATES ME to no end. I know that I shouldn't expect perfect zippers from everyone, but this is one of the biggest brands in lolita! And I know that it's not not going up because of my size, because I can easily stretch the dress more. My point is that I HATE the zipper. Not just because it's difficult to zip, but because it's past being difficult! Every time I wear this dress, I get a blister on my finger where I was holding the zipper! (Hey! Beauty is pain!) But other than that ZIPPER, it's a absolutely gorgeous dress, made of a lovely and light chiffon-ish material, perfect for summer!

Here's it in motion and another review I did on it:

So, all in all, lovely dress, evil zipper, removable waistties and bow, fake AND real corset lacing, twins, swans with crowns, pointe shoes that turn into Angelic Pretty, bubbles everywhere, and... I'm running out of things to say... just watch the video to see whatever I might've forgotten to say here~!

BJD Family as of 2013 + Clothing Opinions?

Ahem, uh... hi?

While I realize that I haven't really been using this blog at all, period, lately, I really haven't been using it to do BJD related stuffs either. And I'm much too lazy to create a separate blog for that...

Soooo~ I figured that I'd begin using this blog for my BJD obsession as well! C:

 Lemme introduce you to my dolls:

My first doll: Sasha (DollZone Luke in normal yellow skin)

Him in his 'bum clothes'

My second doll: Alex/ Sasha's fraternal twin (Doll Leaves Amara in normal skin)

And lastly: Inhyung ((who is not related to Alex and Sasha in any way) Hujoo Suve in apricot skin)

And finally: Happy Little Portrait~

Also, I have Alex & Sasha's dad's head in transit to me in the mail... saving up for the body!

PS:What did you think of my dollies clothes? 'Cause I made all of the outfits except for the first one ^.^ I'd love some critique~ Since I'm new-ish to this whole 'making stuff' thing... (for dolls at least)

Two False Lashes Review: Dolly Wink no. 1 Dolly Sweet (top) & Kiss Me Heroine Make Impact False eyelashes NEW EDITION 09 (bottom)

Wow, haha, that's a long title...but since I bought them to be worn together, I figured I should do the review of them together! ^^ Starting with the top lashes: Dolly Wink no. 1 lashes. 

Here's the case, this is after I had worn the top pair

The case is shaped like a cute little perfume, or shampoo, or something toiletries-ish, bottle ^^; With cute little flowers and cute little Tsubasa! The lashes themselves are SO luxurious! :3 They're super light and sooo soft. I honestly wasn't expecting anything this nice despite all the hype... but they're perfect! They give me the exact look I'm going for, something natural, but unnatural all at the same time. I wanted something cute and slightly dramatic~ and I got it ^.^

 

Looks totally legit, right? For all you know, I could just have ridiculously long and fluttery eyelashes~ :P (my left eye, your right, is the one with the lash, just in case you couldn't tell) Best part is, that they're so light-looking, that i barely need any makeup to go along with it, just my basic makeup: eyeliner for the top, some white eyeshadow in the inner corners, which swoops down to line the lower lashline, and the same white eyeshadow along the middle of my top eyelid. (Tho, in this pic, I don't believe that I have any eyeshadow on)

Now for a pic of both top and bottom lashes together, 'cause we're moving on to the bottoms:

BTW, the dolly winks came with a cute little tube of glue

So did the Kiss Me Heroine ones!

Okay, here are the bottoms, which I was hoping would be a cheaper alternative to the Dolly Wink no. 5, but...These are technically more expensive at $9.99 for ONE pair, while the Dolly Wink's are just $18.99 for TWO pairs. However, my mom made me stick to a $30 budget, so...two sets of Dolly Winks just wasn't gonna happen. XD Anyways, I just rambled about money, which was completely unnecessary... (except for those on a budget like me). SO, these are really short, I'm not talking about the actual lashes, but rather the band, which, like the Dolly Winks, is invisible. Maybe this is just a normal thing for Japanese bottom falsies (the length thing, not the invisible band thing)? The lashes themselves are rather coarse feeling, especially if you touch the Dolly Sweet Dolly Winks, then touch the Kiss Me Heroine ones right after each other. And the lashes are a good length, not too long so that they still easily pass for bottom lashes (which they are, but...idk, I've seen some really long bottom lashes before, and it just looked wrong) 

Now, let's see what kind of a difference they can make when put on:

I cut my wig!! (gothic lolita wigs - classic wavy in strawberry blonde)

Originally, with long side swept bangs, as seen here ->
I decided to cut them after discovering that I don't look very cute with side swept bangs :P And it only took me three days to cut it! XD lolz, not really, but seriously, it did take a really long time, and I had started the project four days ago and finished yesterday. The first day, I had tried to cut it straight across for about five minutes. I failed miserably. I successfully cut about three strands of hair, and barely even an inch off those. So I tried again the next day: this time, sectioning off parts and trapping them between my fingers THEN, trying to cut it with normal scissors again, and again, straight across. Yet again to no avail. So then, I started getting creative and did some research. And found a solution that only took about an hour:

HOLD THE SCISSORS VERTICALLY!

Now, some of you may already know this, but I didn't, and none of videos on YouTube were any help since they all used shears instead of normal scissors. SO...they all just cut straight on through with their fancy scissors made for hair-cutting. (which I couldn't do..soooo)

Anyways, I finally found the answer in the COMMENTS of a video on cutting blunt bangs. I don't remember who it was that said it so, sorry, I can't credit and/or thank you. But they claimed to be a hairdresser and said to hold the scissors vertically instead of horizontally. So, figuring I had nothing to lose, I went ahead and tried it, and it cut! Now, this is not as fast as any of those videos on YouTube that I watched, but it works, and it works faster than the whole cutting-straight-on-through thing, plus the result was a nice, not too severe, blunt bang that looked really rather natural. C:

Sure, it's uneven, it's not perfect, but it worked. And it's still long enough to be swept to the side some.

Review: Bodyline l179 OP with Rose Hat in pink (pik)

Behold! Le bonnet!

Alright! Got new dress! (two new dresses, really, but... 9.9 )
Anyways, this is Bodyline's l179 OP with Rose Hat, but the weird thing is...there isn't a hat, I mean, the stock photo looks like a hat, but...IT'S A BONNET!
Right, so...yeah. ^^;

Quality: Pretty good! Considering it was only $33, I think this is excellent quality! It's not shiny or particularly cheap-looking.

Color and Design: Nice pink, not exactly my fave shade of pink though, it's kinda salmon-y...which I don't like, but regardless, it's still very nice color-wise. There is not pattern, it's a solid color so... let's take this dress apart (metaphorically, of course) and stare at it. Starting from the top!

Comes with neck straps/ties/thingamajiggers.

Three bows on the bodice along with some...lines? (IDK, I don't really speak fashion)

Shirring along the whole back, allowing it to stretch A LOT

Please note that, while these sleeves are gorgeous, and would've stopped around my elbow; there is no elastic! Thus, I COULDN'T EVEN GET IT OVER MY ELBOW! And, it wasn't even because I have fat arms or something ('cause I don't) It was just them being ridiculous! Luckily, as seen over here ->

The sleeves are detachable! <3 So I quickly and easily removed them and put the dress on! Now, these aren't attached like the other Bodyline dresses I have, the others were attached using elastic (and the sleeves had elastic) these are just put on using normal 'button-through-hole-in-cloth' technique :/

They're so pretty! I was truly heartbroken... (i have a thing for bell-shaped skirts and sleeves :9 )

Side zipper~

Lovely skirt with a scalloped hem- Beautiful! <3

The waistties have a ruffle on the ends of them that matches the ruffles along the hem of the skirt

It came with 4 removable flowers (I know, I lost one of them already)
