Gothic Lolita Make Up Look Transformation! ♥

Konbanwa Minna-san! Today is a really short blog post about Gothic Lolita Make-up and I hope you all enjoy it, I really stepped out of my comfort zone for this look since i'm not very good with dark make-up looks. All links to the products I used will be below ♥

I finally put my Lolita wig to proper use. I bought this from Ebay and posted a review a while ago since I was so pleased. The blouse is from Yesstyle, I bought this around a year and a half ago so i'm unsure if it's still in stock. I'll find one similar and put the link below if anyone is interested. My Circle lenses are from a dear friend of mine Pastel Dreams Shoes and Accessories and they are Naty Swan - Pink ♥ 

For my eye make-up I done a basic smokey eye with a red-ish burgundy shade and a deep black to give more depth and edgy to my make-up, using the Like Angels palette from Make-Up Revolution & Urban Decay's Naked Basics Palette. I layered a brighter metallic red on top of the burgundy to really make the lid colour pop. The eyeliner I used is Urban Decay's Ink for Eyes and it has been very winged out to create a dramatic cat eye, i've also formed a point in the inner corner to bring the whole look together. After this I lined my water line with a black eyeliner from MUA, added mascara from Rimmel and my accent lashes with beading from Bourjois ♥

For my face make-up I used Skin 79 Diamond Prestige BB Cream with L'Oreal's Studio Secrets Primer beneath it for a smooth finish. Since the make-up was pretty heavy under my eye I decided against concealer. My highlight is from MUA and it's the shade Gold and my blush is from Estee Lauder in Pink Ingenue ♥ 

Finally my lip colour is Black Metal Dahlia from Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics, the inner corners have been shaded in with my MUA black eyeliner to give them more definition ♥

Thank you very much for reading my tutorial and I hope you stick around for more in the future

Primark Haul! #1 ♥

Hello guys! This is my very first Primark haul, which is rather surprising considering this store is like my second home. I'm not entirely sure how world wide Primark is? But I think they're possibly expanding into America or they already have... I have genuinely no idea, but you can possibly find something like these items on Ebay as well

 (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧

The first item is this high neck cable bodycon dress, in a grey/black pebbled colour. I usually go for floating girly dresses, mostly with a skater style so this for me was definitely a big change... and I LOVE IT! Oh wow this looks amazing on and it fits perfectly. I would say that in Primark most of the clothing is true to size and this is one of them ♥ This is a very classy dress that is timeless (From my previous Sheinside haul you all know I love timeless dresses, something that will stay on trend is a definite money saver). This was a bargain at £6.00 and as usually I can't leave a link since Primark has no website o(╥﹏╥)o.

Probably the item I was most excited about, the dreaded kimono! I have wanted one of these for at least a year and a half, but I never found one that stood out enough from the rest. The fringe on the end with the pastel floral pattern is exactly what I wanted. the fabric is wonderfully light and airy. The kimono ends at my ankles so girls who are shorter than 4ft 10 might want to find a shorter version. This was £12.00 which completely baffled me since it looks far more expensive than it is, so this was easily the steal of the day ♥

I've been wanting a drop type necklace for some time now, but since i'm clumsy and forgetful I mostly only wear fashion jewelry except from my gran's ring and my engagement ring. So I found this little gem (literally) it's a heart shaped pendant with a small crystal on the drop of the necklace. It doesn't look obviously cheap which I like and I don't really mind if I lose it for £2.00.  

And lastly it's this set of three crystal chokers! ♥ They're in a peach, lilac and mint colour and absolutely adorable, perfect for any fairy kei or dolly look since they're really subtle. I like that I can mix and match with different outfits, but I kind of wish they had a few more sets with different colours... but hey! you can't have everything and £1.50 for three of them is a bargain anyway ♥

Thank you very much for reading my review and I hope you stick around for more in the future

Sheinside Haul & Review #3

Konnichiwa Minna-san! ♥ Today I have the much awaited Sheinside Haul and Review. I bought these items around 4 weeks ago and they finally arrived yesterday. Sheinside have insisted they are trying to make their shipping faster as this length of wait can be an inconvenience for most.

Now onto the items!! The first item which was also the first in my basket is this amazing BIG BANG t-shirt  ♥. If you aren't into KPOP then you'll be a little confused, but Big Bang are my favourite KPOP Idol group (except from VIXX) so I of course had to own this t-shirt. The material is very soft and stretchy, I feel like this could fit a size 6-10 as it's a free size tshirt. The print is awesome and perfect for any hardcore KPOP fan ヾ(〃^∇^)ﾉ. Overall the quality is completely on point, it's a simple, easy to wear and comfortable item for not very much money. Bargain!

Super Harajuku and Kawaii!!! This is the ultimate harajuku style t-shirt, the graphics are a hirigana which I can't decipher and three onigiris, which are rice balls ♥ I noticed in my wardrobe that I don't own any black t-shirts so I decided to get an ultra kawaii one! It's free sized again but it's far more fitted than the Big Bang t shirt, I would say it could only fit a size 6-8 roughly, not very much room at all for anyone of a larger size. I adore this, it's high quality with not threads or damages, the graphic is vibrant and different which is what I wanted. Easily my favourite t-shirt at the moment (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧.

This is such an essential! I love classic timeless pieces of clothing and this is clearly one of them. I could never see this style going out of fashion to be honest, so for me this is an investment. The description says Pink, but I would say this is a beige/salmon colour. The dress is in a A-line style with a short cape that starts at the front and ends before the back zip. The fabric feels very high quality and the inside is lined with a silky/satin fabric which feels wonderful and luxurious to put on ♥. This dress is a big win for me, I feel like it works for any occasion both casual and formal and even for any season.  

This was my favourite item of the haul so I saved it for last! This is such an adorable mesh midi ballet skirt and it comes in two colours I believe, brown/peach and black/grey. I was skeptical about the quality of this skirt as previous reviews were very negative, after receiving my skirt I couldn't be happier and in all honesty I have no idea how anyone could hate it. It fits me perfectly as it has an elastic waist, and the length is around mid shin on my 4ft 10 frame. The material is light and airy for summer, but has winter/autumn colours so I feel this could work at any time of the year. I've not yet made an outfit for this skirt but i'm hoping to buy a silky brown tank top to compliment the under skirt.  I love everything about this skirt, it will be a staple clothing item for me now ♥

Avon Gel Finish Nail Enamel Polish Review - Snow Star

Hello guys! :3 Today I had a tiny review for you on the Avon Gel Finish Polish, i'm not necessarily sure if Avon sells products in countries other than the UK. However i'm sure that where ever you are, there will be something similar to this nail polish ♥

I have at least 7 of the colours from the Gel Finish range, but this one has definitely struck a cord with me. First of all the colour is amazing and totally not suitable for summer despite this being the new range! which is a bit of a fail but none the less I adore a silver/chrome look on my nails. 

Most of these nail polishes are thick and take a while to dry because of their gel-like nature, this one however is really easy and smooth to apply. The picture above was one coat of the polish, which I think is genuinely fantastic in all honesty I think the formula has been changed as I compared this with one of my other gel polishes and there is a definite difference. 

Overall it's a lot better than the previous ones from the same range, it's not 100% compared to the more expensive brands such as China Glaze and OPI as it still cracks after a couple of days. I would give it a 7/10.

Thank you very much for reading my review and I hope you stick around for more in the future

Pastel Dreams Shoes & Accessories Haul & Review #2 - Giselle & Naty Swan Circle Lenses!

Konnichiwa Minna-san! ♥

UPDATE! You can now find all the products from Pastel Dreams at the new website!

https://www.pastel-dreams.com/

 Today I have a second Pastel Dreams Haul!! This was one of my most viewed posts, so here is No.2

My haul today will consist of two different circle lenses! One which I bought myself and the other was a lovely gift from my friend Sofia, the amazing girl behind the brand ♥

Both of the lenses came in different types of packaging which was kind of a new one for me, as i'm pretty used to using the vials. 

Overall I still prefer the vials over the foil leaflet type packaging, even though the vials are a little fiddly to work with I feel like they would keep the contacts safer. Opening the foil packets is also a little messier as the contact lens solution tends to squirt out of the packet and soak everywhere! Which is kind of amusing at the same time (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧

Giselle - SW4 - Shade Blue

Replacement Period - 1 Year

Base Curve - 8.6mm

Diameter - 15mm

Water Content - 38%

Power - 0.00

I think these lenses are absolutely gorgeous, although my eyes are hazel they are still noticeable. The lenses are a mix of two tone blue and green which give a strange dimensional effect to the eyes, personally I think they will be far better on grey and blue eyes but I am still very shocked and how well they show up on mine. The are very comfortable for 15mm lenses and have a lovely natural effect which I like for every day use. Overall they are a big 10/10 for me and a wonderfully unexpected gift from a dear friend ♥ 

Naty Swan - Shade Pink

Replacement Period - 1 Year

Base Curve - 8.6mm

Diameter - 15mm

Water Content - 38%

Power - 0.00

I LOVE THESE! Oh wow, they are beautiful. I don't think these photos can do these lenses any justice. They have a thick black band around the lens which I love, this gives me an amazing dolly look. They are very comfortable and have a lovely colour pay off, they are incredibly noticeable in the sun light. I think these will be fantastic on any colour of eyes, for darker eyes they look porcelain dolly-like and for paler eyes they will probably look a little more vampy. Overall they are wonderful lenses, excellent quality I will definitely be buying these in other colours, 10/10.

Yesstyle Haul & Review #3 - The Denim Skort!

Konnichiwa Minna-san! (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧ I am back with a new tiny haul and review for Yesstyle.co.uk!

Today I will be reviewing a denim skort which I bought from a brand within Yesstyle, called DABAGIRL, which is a South Korean brand. I have seen their clothing many times throughout my buying history with Yesstyle, but i've never actually purchased anything since they are a little on the expensive side.

However, I put that a side so that I could get the skort of my dreams!! I have been after a denim skort for a few months because I think it'll be amazing for summer (▰˘◡˘▰)... A skort is basically a skirt with shorts attached, and is perfect for girls who aren't very confident in wearing skirts on their own. 

As I imagined, it is completely amazing, and everything I wanted. It looks like a super short mini skirt but you have the added safety of the shorts underneath (in case of any strong breezes ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°).

The fabric is well made and is very soft denim, with a slight stretch to it. I got the size Small, and I am usually a size 6, but this fits me perfectly despite having a slightly larger bum that most girls my size! I would definitely recommend checking the measurements first, otherwise you could have a disaster.
