Uniqso Circle Lenses Review #1 - I.Fairy: Dolly Brown, I.Fairy: Cara Green & Dolly Eye: Sugar Candy Pink

Konnichiwa Minna-san! Today I have a review for Uniqso, and more specifically their circle lenses. I bought 3 new sets of lenses and 3 new lens cases to carry them in, so now we should get started on my review xxx!  


I bought three of these super kawaii Hello Kitty lens cases for only £1.81 each!!! It was too much of a bargain to pass up, they are amazing.  


Inside you have the lens cases with the L & R embossed on the top so you can know which lens is for which eye. With this case you also get a pair of rubber tweezers for picking up your lenses, a sucker-like device for taking out the lenses and a little vial, which I assume is for carrying lens solution.

Overall this is a very useful little set for the price, the lens cases are a little loose but i'm sure they won't leak if you take your case in your bag.  


If you aren't one for buying the lens cases, all of the lenses I bought on Uniqso came with their own free lens cases with cute designs on them for the L & R eye sections.  



This is the cute little boxes that the lens vials came in, which I think is an adorable touch and it definitely made me smile when I opened my parcel this morning!  


Here are the teeny tiny vials that the contact lenses come in. Each lens comes in a separate vial which you will need pliers or nail clippers to open.  


I wouldn't say that I have perfect vision, but I don't need glasses so I got my lenses in 0.00.  


The first pair of lenses I have for all of you is the Dolly Eye: Sugar Candy Pink Circle Lenses. These are supposed to be faintly pink in the outer rim with a thick black band around the outside of the eye. Despite the lack of pink I absolutely love these because they bring out my natural eye colour with the black rim. They are super super! comfortable and I can barely notice them in my eye even from the first wear. I highly recommend these for those who are wanting to accentuate their natural colour or for those with paler eyes where the pink may show up greater xx!

First of all... The colour... I LOVE IT. I have always adored the amber/gold/brown eye look and finally I can have it myself. This is the I Fairy: Dolly Eye Brown Circle Lenses. These lenses are absolutely beautiful and bright even on my natural colour, which is fantastic. I find these lenses very comfortable despite their large size, and I found them very easy to put in as well which is a plus. These lenses are a whole 1.1mm larger than my Geo Medical Princess Mimi lenses which gives me the perfect doe-eyed look.  

Base Curve: 8.6mm
Colour Tones: 2 Tones
Diameter: 16.2mm
Replacement Period: 12 Months
Water Content: 55%
Price: £14.26


My final pair of lenses are my absolute favourite... Wow, that colour! These beauties are the I Fairy: Cara Green Circle Lenses. The colour pay off with these lenses is immense, especially in natural light. They remind me very much of new anime characters with the large marbling detail of colour, very pretty. These are just as large as the other I Fairy lenses and they are also very comfortable and caused no hassle. My one issue with these is the slight green hue that I get in the corner of my vision, but it's not really a bother for me, even though it might be for others. Overall I love these, the slight hue of green is worth the colour of these bad boys!

These are how each of the lenses have been featured on Uniqso, I added this here to give you an easier look at the colour of the lenses when they aren't in my eyes.

First thing I seen when I opened my parcel was the adorable business card for her shop. It has all of the social media links and the link to the store on Etsy 



The product I was greeted with were these adorable little hair clips !♥ These are the Pastel Fairy Kei Angel Wings and they are beautiful. I got them in a blue-ish colour with a slight sparkle to them, they've also got crocodile clips which i'm super happy about because they help attach to my hair a lot easier ♥ Overall i'm 100% in love with these clips, they're so well made and easily wearable without being too much. 

The second item is a Kawaii Fairy Kei Sweets Bracelet ♥ I asked for the lilac and pink colour scheme since those are my favourite colours, and I couldn't be happier with it! They're two different chains with 6 charms; A macaroon, cake slice, cupcake, doughnut & two ice cream cones. The quality is lovely and you can definitely tell that this is handmade which I adore. Amazing little item and fantastic for a gift!



My final item is a Kawaii Pastel Fairy Kei Necklace ♥ This is super long on me, almost below my bra which I actually like very much. The quality is really good with the super cute rose details. the colours are painted on really well and fade into one another beautifully which I love.

Himistore Haul & Review #1 xx!

Konnichiwa Minna-san! Today I have a really exciting haul & review for you, I will be reviewing Himistore @ Storenvy ! 


The first item I bought was the Lolita French Style Suit, I bought this for going to London this summer for the Hyper Japan Convention. I absolutely adore this outfit, it is so lightweight for the hot summer I hope we'll be getting this year.




I love the style of this suit, it is white with baby blue pin stripes and has a cute embroidered book on the front. The sleeves and elastic around the thighs & neck line are lined with lace and pale blue ribbons for added detail.

The quality of the product is fantastic and I cannot flaw it at all, and as you can see from my photographs it fits perfectly. However the only issue for this product is that it only comes in one size, so there isn't a plus sized option. I can see this fitting people from a size 6-10 possibly.



I got this cute little rainbow choker as a free gift in my package from Himistore, It really reminds me of the 90's black chokers with a more fairy kei/kawaii twist to it. I am so pleased with this and it was an adorable little surprise!


I got another free gift as well! Thank you so much Himistore your gifts are really appreciated. This was a pair of Lolita stockings which can be worn as both knee highs and thigh highs, the material is very good quality and the stockings themselves are see through with a opaque white band at the top. 


My final purchase was the Vivi Lotus Leaf Lolita Boots which I am absolutely in LOVE with... oh wow they are gorgeous. I bought them in a white leather and the quality is fantastic.  



The top of the boots has a beautiful leather laced edging which makes the boots look very lolita styled. The platform is high enough for your feet to feel comfortable in these boots which is always a plus, nothing is worse than having sore feet! I think the laces and the metal detailing on the ends are lovely and they contrast with the rest of the shoe extremely well. 



Overall I am very happy with my purchases and the free gifts from Himistore, I will also call attention to their amazing customer service as they asked for my foot measurements to ensure my boots would fit me correctly without any issues. I found this service amazing and very odd as most websites and sellers are not too bothered about their customers as long as they get a sale. 

I high recommend this website and I will definitely be buying from them again in the near future. 

Lolita French Style Suit - $46.99
Vivi Lotus Leaf Boots - $61.99

February Kawaii Box Review!

Konnichiwa Minna-san! (ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ*:・゚✧
 Today I have a very special review for you and it is the February Kawaii Box! 


I didn't take a picture of the front because it has my address on it, but it came in a small cardboard box with the company's logo printed on the front.


When you open the inside of the box there is a cute hand written note that says "You can't spell cute without U". I think this is a super adorable touch and it feels personal. 


ANNND FINALLY... This is the contents of the February box!


First up we have a Japanese DIY Candy which are growing in popularity in the West. This one is a fairly simple kit, where you add water to powder and mix the contents to form a confetti type sauce which is the candy. I might do a separate review/how-to on this kit if people ask for it, but this seems like a cute thing to try, especially if you are new to these candies.  


These cute little stickers were also included in the package, great if you want to add cutesy little touches to your books, cards or letters ≧◡≦.


I love this little pencil case, I was immediately taken by its striking design. I don't find this kawaii, but I like it anyway. I'll personally use this as a small make-up bag because i'm not very into stationary. 


I was super happy with this product! I really needed a new set of chopsticks and these are so cute with the panda design. I'm not sure if these come in a wider range of designs for the Kawaii box, but i'm really happy with mine (~ ̄▽ ̄)~.


This little bracelet is both kawaii and fairy kei style which i'm really happy about. I'm looking forward to wearing it with my pastel outfits because they kind of look like adorable candies.


AGHH! I love these so much. Green Tea flavoured Kit Kats are fantastic, if you haven't tried them you really have too. They're so creamy and amazing!


I've always wanted one of these travel tags for my new suitcase and this one is an adorable diamond design. It's so girly and cute and it'll look amazing on my luggage for holidays! 


This is your standard Hello Kitty eraser, it's so small and cute. Truthfully it's been years since i've owned a pencil or eraser, probably since high school so i'm happy about this.




AGHH! I love this little guy, i'm assuming it's a red panda, but it could also be a raccoon? I'm not very sure. I think it's so sweet & soft so he will definitely be going on my key♥‿♥.


This is another key chain type product. I think it's a candy or a chocolate, it reminds me of the chocolate foil cups you used to get in the UK, but it's kind of cone shaped. Regardless i'll be probably putting this on one of my handbags. 


Awww this is such a cute little lollipop hair clip, I think i'll wear this with my lolita wig to make it look even more kawaii (◕‿-). It's all sparkly with little pearl detailing and has an amazing assortment of colours.



And finally this sweet little mechanical pencil with a cupcake bear on the top. Like I said above, i've not had a pencil in years and i'm so happy about this one, and now I have an eraser to go with it. 

Overall i'm very satisfied with my purchase and I think it's a wonderful idea to get more Japanese and kawaii products to others around the world. 

There are a few subscriptions to chose from: 

1 Month - $18.90
3 Months - $18.90/ per Month

Holika Holika - Makgeolli Brightening Mask Sheet Review

Konnichiwa Minna-san! Today I have a Korean Skin Care product reviewed for you and it is a skin brightening mask. 

Korea is very well known for their skin care products and their skin brightening products which promote a healthier glow, I have tried many of these masks over the past few years but I've never thought in depth about how they made my skin look and feel. The mask i'm reviewing today is from the brand Holika Holika and it is the Makgeolli Brightening Mask Sheet!


The packaging itself is very thick soft plastic which won't easily tear if you are traveling, the packet can also be folded up as there is not a lotion inside which could burst. The inside is foil lined to keep the mask fresh.


How to use:
 
1. Cleanse your face thoroughly and use a toner. 
2. Apply the face mask and wait 15-20 minutes
3. Remove mask and rub the extra product into your face and neck and wait for it to dry.
4. If you have very dry skin then possibly add a heavy moisturizer on top.  


I LOOK TERRIFYING... It's the perfect mask for scaring your family & friends if you can't sit still for 20 minutes. The mask itself is absolutely freezing when you first put it on! It is definitely a shock to your system and will wake you up. It feels like thick tissue paper that has been soaked in a gel-like serum, which is actually after a while a very relaxing feeling and you can feel like it is doing some good to your skin. 

Overall - 8/10: I would use this again but not for its brightening qualities as i'm not sure I can see much difference in skin's glow. However it makes your face completely baby smooth, and that is good enough for me in all honesty. It might not be what it says on the packet but I enjoyed it and the experience is very relaxing and pampering.

You can find 5 masks on Amazon for around £17, which is a little pricey but the store I originally bought mine from is not selling them anymore.
