G&G GBT Violet Contacts From PinkyParadise Review

Since I had a little extra money I bought G&G GBT violet contacts from Pinky Paradise. I really loved their G&G GBT sky contacts, so I decided to get the violet ones this time. On the website, they look like this:

Our Price: $19.90

Diameter: 14.0mm/14.5mm

Water Content: 38%

Base Curve: 8.7mm/8.6mm

Life Span: 1 year disposal

What is Inside: One pair of lenses and one cutie animal lens case

 

I got the 14.0mm ones because I wanted them to match the diameter of my eyes perfectly. Anything larger usually irritates my eyes since I'm not used to bigger contacts.

COMFORT: Let me just start off by saying that these are the best contacts, next to the G&G GBT Sky contacts, that I have ever owned. They are so much more comfortable than the ones I get from my eye doctor. I have actually worn these for 7-8 hours some days, (I wouldn't exceed that with any kind of contacts) and it was like I didn't have anything in my eyes. I didn't get a headache like I do when I wear my normal contacts, which is great. I think I will actually just switch to these for my everyday contacts. 5/5

COLOR:I really like the color of these. These contacts are definitely purple, but when they mix together with my natural eyes color (greenish blue), they give my eyes a greyish blue hue in inside lighting, which looks really cool. Also, it is not a very drastic change from my normal eye color. 5/5

DESIGN: I really like how the design enhances the color without making them look like they belong to an alien. Not having them be completely opaque with clear spots make the contacts blend very well. I also like how the ring around the iris is not a solid line. It gives it a realistic look. And, the fact that the contacts aren't super big and fit over my eyes perfectly gives it a nice touch. 5/5

Overall, I give these contacts a rating of 5/5. They are perfect. I love wearing them, especially with my purple wig. They are comfy, and every time I go out or wear them to work, I get compliments. The best part about these contacts are they will last an entire year, not to mention Pinky Paradise sent me a free contacts case which was purple elephants to match my contacts. They made it easy for me to remember what contacts are in each case because since each case matches the colors of the contacts. I got to hand it to them; they are very awesome. Lastly, they did give me two little small gifts. One was a little packet of cream for dark circles under your eyes. The second gift was Velcro hair thingies that hold your hair back for when you are putting in contacts or putting on makeup.

 

 

THANK YOU SO MUCH PINKY PARADISE!!!!!

Gothic Lolita Wigs/RockStar Wigs Review - Ombre Alexa Pink to White Fade

I got this wig from Gothic Lolita Wigs/RockStar Wigs, and I have to say, this wig is gorgeous. It is super soft, and I love how the pink fades to white. The wig is not very shiny, which surprised me because the stock photo on the website make it look super shiny. I'm also very glad that they came up with this style because originally, I was going to buy the same color scheme but from the rhapsody collection, and I was not looking forward to straightening all of that hair. This wig came with side swept bangs, which were cut into a fringe (like seen in the picture up top).

The hair is very long and has a medium thickness. I wish it was a little thicker, but that's only because I naturally have very thick hair and I'm not used to hair thinner than that of my own. This hair actually feels very feathery and light. I wish the color was slightly darker so it would compliment my skin more. My makeup makes my skin look darker, and when I have this wig on in combination, my face has this yellowy/orange tint, which looks awful. If I don't put on any concealer or foundation, it looks okay. I just need to buy those things in a lighter shade, which is almost impossible because I buy the lightest concealer and foundation in the brand I use already. It's frustrating. So, for those who have darker skin, I wouldn't recommend this wig. It looks best on those with very pale and whitish skin kind of like a porcelain doll. But really, there are no rules. This is just my opinion. You should do whatever you want, and if this wig makes you feel beautiful, who am I to stop you from buying and wearing it? I am just giving you a heads up, and my personal view of it. I'm not telling you want to do.

For the top of the wig, there a very slight skin top, but more so a point where all of the hair meets up. It only looks fake if you stare at it constantly. Honestly, if you are wearing this wig on public, I don't think someone will get close enough and/or at the same time stare at you obnoxiously to even notice or care. For me, I love wearing hats, especially beanies, so it's not a big deal. If you feel worried that people are going to notice, wear a hat, headband, hair clips, etc. You can even curl or make your wig wavy to give it a realistic texture to make it look less fake.

 

I also recommend using a beige/skin-toned wig cap while wearing this wig just in case the hair separates enough to where you can see underneath the hair. Though, I recommend that with all light-colored wigs. I haven't had that problem with this wig yet or any of Gothic Lolita/RockStar's wigs so far. It's just a precaution I always take.

 

Shipping was very fast. I got it two days after processing, which is awesome!

Cos Lenses Review - Ifairy Nova Blue

                     My natural eyes

 Ifairy Nova Blue contacts in

 

                        close up view

 

 

Let me first start off by saying these contacts are so cool. I love the way they make my eyes look.

 

I ordered these contacts in Nova Blue from coslenses.com. Normally, I order my contacts from PinkyParadise, and they do have these contacts, but they didn't have photos with buyers wearing them, so I refrained from buying theirs. For me, I only buy things when I can check out the reviews from them, so I went somewhere else. Actually, I heard about this place from Alexa Poletti's blog where she reviews these in green. They looked amazing on her, so I wanted to give them a shot. Really, it was her good review that pushed me into buying these. Hahaha. I kind of wish I got the green ones in this version as well because my eyes have a little green in them, and those contacts would make them look even better than the blue one do.

 

Comfort: At first, these contacts feel weird because they are actually bigger in size, which I'm not used to, but after a while I got used to them. That is not to say that they weren't irritating. They did feel a little scratchy, but only around the outside where it went passed my iris. It probably bothered me more than someone who is used to larger circle lenses since this was the first time wearing larger contacts. I do not think I could wear these for more than four hours. I guess I just have to keep putting them in and wear them a little longer each day to get used to them. 3/5

 

Enlargement Effect: Initially, I was looking for regular-sized contacts because I was afraid larger ones would irritate my eyes, but for those who are interested in the enlargement effect: These were definitely larger than my irises and made me look doll-like. The black ring and slightly opaque blue color hides where my irises end for the most part. You can only see it when super close up, like someone would literally have to be beyond your personal boundaries to notice. 5/5

 

Design: I really like the design of these. There is a good amount of blue and it is lightly opaque, so it doesn't give you that alien look. The color blends nicely with your eyes. The black ring that goes around it gives these contacts great contrast as well. They look great on light colored eyes. I'm not so sure how they would look on brown eyes. I feel like the blue would be hard to see. 5/5

 

Color: Since I have lighter eyes, the colors looks fantastic, and turns my eyes to an aqua color. From far away, the color is not very noticeable since my eyes are a bluish green already, but that's okay. I want them to look realistic. 4.5/5

 

Naturalness: These do look natural from far away. When close up, the black ring gives it away, but again, I don't care. People who know me know what my natural eye color is, so they know when I'm wearing colored contacts. Strangers don't get obnoxiously close to you anyway to even think that those aren't your natural eyes. Other than the black ring around the lenses, they way that the blue blends into your eyes looks very natural. 4/5

 

I don't normally grade shipping because a lot of these products are from some part of Asia, which takes a very long time. These contacts though, seem to have taken longer than usual to the point where I forgot I even ordered them. Haha. I ordered these February 15, 2014, and got them yesterday, March 6, 2014. Processing took like a week and a half, which to me is a very long time. But, hey, I rather have that take long and for them to get my order right than have it last a day and get my order wrong. No worries.

Outfit of the Day

 

Rhapsody in Rose Wig: Gothic Lolita Wigs/Rockstar Wigs/Dolluxe

Jacket: Forever21

KISS Tank-top: Wetseal

Plaid Skirt: Milanoo

Black Combat Boots: Deb

Bow Headband: Forever21

Bracelets (except Buddha and braided ones): Deb

Chinese Symbol Necklaces: Yak and Yeti Shop in Disney World’s Animal Kingdom

Cross Charm Necklace: Wetseal

For this outfit, I was inspired by the anime Rosario + Vampire. The skirt it part of the school uniform from that show. I got the idea to match the hair with this outfit from Moka, another character from that anime. Her pink hair goes well with the yellow plaid skirt, which is why I used those two things as the base for the outfit. Since the skirt gave off this punk rock look by itself, I just went along with that style and added more clothing in that style. The "KISS" tank-top was perfect for this style, and the black with subtle amounts of red and white matched great with the skirt. As for the jacket, I wanted to add more contrast to the original color scheme (yellow, black, red, and white)but at the same time keep with the style. This jacket was perfect because it gives off this rock vibe with the denim, studs, and graffiti-like writing on the back. I added black combat boots and bow headband to keep the balance of black going. The bracelets on my wrist are to add a little color, and the necklaces were added to make my neck not look so bare and plain. I usually stock with silver jewelry because it goes better with my skin than gold. If I were to add anything it would either be black or grey torn up stockings or black over-the-knee socks. I do feel like my legs are a little bare.
