Top Tip of the August! - Iron on Patches ♥

Konnichiwa minna! ♥

Today is going to be the beginning of my monthly series "Top Tips" this can be anything from a fashion tip to a cosplay tip.


This month's top tip is "DIY Hats". Lately there has been a patches craze in Asia, so i decided to jump on the bandwagon. I first started seeing these hats being worn by Kpop idols and then eventually Youtube stars, so obviously I had to get my hands on some. I usually buy my clothes & accessories from Yesstyle, on there the patched hats were between £5 and £12 so I considered making them myself to cut the cost a little.

I went onto eBay and found two cheap skip hats for under £3 each, I wanted a dark one and a light one to basically go with every outfit. After picking my hats I chose the patches! Both patches were around £1 each which gave me two patched hats for £8 ♥

Both of the patches were iron-on patches so it's a little easier than sewing them on the material. The purple hat is suede and wasn't affected by ironing on the patch which is awesome!



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

Uniqso Haul! - I Fairy/Vassen Dolly+ Grey ♥

Hey minna! Today I have a Circle Lenses review for you. Even though i've bought three pairs of lenses I will only be reviewing the I Fairy Dolly+ Grey as the other two have been a re-purchase!

If any of you are interested in the GEO Princess Mimi or I Fairy Dolly+ Brown then please check out two of my previous Circle Lens Hauls for the original review xxx




Base Curve: 8.6mm
Tones: 2 Tones
Diameter: 16.2 mm
Replacement Period: 1 Year
Water Content: 55%


Just like the Dolly+ Brown lenses, these are exceptionally comfortable. My eyes are naturally very dark so I have quite a harsh gradient between the lenses and my own eye colour, however I still adore these. I originally bought them for my Black Widow Cosplay (Blog post for this will happen soon!),  but I would actually wear these on a daily basis as well due to how easy they are to wear. 

For people with light coloured eyes these would definitely be the ones to buy, they are super enlarging and very vibrant. However like me, if it's just for cosplay then these will be perfect for a long convention day.

I Fairy Dolly+ Grey - £15.90


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

UNIQSO HAUL - GEO MEDICAL/SWEETY/DOLLY EYE ♥

Konnichiwa Minna-san! Today I have a long awaited haul from UNIQSO. I've had these four lenses in my wishlist for about 4 months now, so the second I heard Uniqso was doing a Black Friday sale of 50% off, I literally jumped at the chance and bought them 

Dolly Eye Ace Black 


Base Curve: 8.6mm
Tones: 1 Tone
Diameter: 14.5mm
Replacement Period: 1 Year
Water Content: 38%

I absolutely adore these ♥ I've always wanted to have black lenses that we not totally creepy, so these were my first choice since I can still see a little of my eye colour . They're very comfortable and a lot smaller in diameter compared to my other 16.2mm lenses, I think these could be worn easily for 8 hours without much hassle. 

GEO Medical Cafe Mimi Macchiato 


Base Curve: 8.8mm
Tones: 2 Tone
Diameter: 14.8mm
Replacement Period: 1 Year
Water Content: 38%

I've previously bought from GEO Medical and they never disappoint, this is now my second pair from the brand and they are beautiful. These ones are a lot more natural than the GEO Princess Mimi Chocolate Brown lenses that I have, mostly because they have a more subtle black outline around the outside of the lenses. They're really comfortable like all of the GEO lenses so I would definitely recommend these for people who have more sensitive eyes.


Sweety Crazy Star


Base Curve: 8.6mm
Tones: 2 Tone
Diameter: 14.0mm
Replacement Period: 1 Year
Water Content: 40%

These... Are... Amazing... I am so pleased with these and now I think they're my favourite pair. These lenses aren't the most comfortable, i'm not entirely sure but I think they are thicker than any of my other lenses but still bearable to wear for a few hours. The lenses have blue stars in the center with a brown outer rim, and it gives your eyes a truly unusual look. though I think these would be best appreciated in photo shoots.


Kimchi Viva Violet


Base Curve: 8.6mm
Tones: 2 Tone
Diameter: 16.0mm
Replacement Period: 1 Year
Water Content: 55%

I've always wanted a pair of Kimchi lenses since they have a large diameter, the issue was picking the colour since they have so many ♥ Despite being very large, these lenses are actually as  comfortable as GEO medical lenses, the colour is also very vivid and fades nicely into my own eye colour. I would definitely buy more from this brand again, I just love how you can barely feel them in your eyes. 

Dolly Ace Black - £11.15
Geo Medical Cafe Mimi Macchiato - £14.88
Sweety Crazy Star - £11.07
Kimchi Viva Violet - £14.26

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

Dolly Wink Liquid Eyeliner - Brown, Review! ♥

Konnichiwa Minna-san! I've got an amazing product to review today, the Dolly Wink Liquid Eyeliner. I got this from EBay but it was originally imported from Japan, i've heard so many good things about this eyeliner so I really wanted to try it out and review it for you guys! 

The packaging for this is super cute! It's also far easier to open than a lot of Western make-up, no need for scissors. The eyeliner itself is a felt tip liner with an extremely narrow tip, for me i'm personally not a fan of felt tip liners but this one works perfectly to create a sharp line.  


I love this brown shade! It's the exact shade that all brown eyeliners should be, not the weird brown/black combination that they usually are... The formula for this liner is really watery which some people may hate, especially if you prefer gel liners. However I find it really easy to work with and extremely pigmented for a low cost product.


I wore this eyeliner for 12-14 hours a few days ago, this includes going to work and going out later that night. The result was that the liner barely budged throughout the day and definitely didn't smudge.

Overall i'm thoroughly impressed with this, the quality plus the price make for a fantastic product within budget. Even though Dolly Wink is a Japanese brand it can be found easily on EBay and Yesstyle, I would try to aim for EBay though since the postage would be cheaper. 


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

Glasgow MCM Comicon 2015 Haul! ♥

Konnichiwa Minna-san!~ Today I have my Comicon Haul for you. Last week was the annual Glasgow MCM Comicon and aside from cosplaying and taking hundreds of pictures for Otakuography, I was looking at all the stalls to see what cute products I could buy 


This is the overall picture of my haul! It's definitely not as big as the previous two years, but I was so busy with taking photographs that buying things only happened when something really caught my eye.


My favourite item from Comicon is definitely my little Oshawott ♥ He's so adorable! My fiance bought him for me when I was getting some air and I was so happy and shocked! Look at his wee face ♥ This was an officially licensed Pokemon product and I believe he was £15, but i'm unsure of which stall was selling him.


While we were walking around CEX who had a massive DVD/Game stand in the center of the hall, were handing out cute little CEX chocolates that taste identical to a Terry's Chocolate Orange. Not brilliant for me, but my fiance loved them!


My favourite purchase of the day is two new Uta no Prince-sama Biscuit Charms!♥ Omg they're the cutest little things in the world... I'm literally obsessed. I have Ranmaru, Masato and Ren all attached to my phone and they look so adorable, they're good quality and a completely licensed product from SAOTOME GAUKEN ♥ They were £4 each from the Japan Centre stall.


This is a super cool Panda Cone from Glico and it's the Giant Caplico Panda - Cookies & Cream flavour. The texture of this is weird and interesting, it's supposed to imitate a ice cream but with chocolate instead of the ice cream ♥. The chocolate is smooth and bubbly kind of like an Aero bar and for me it tastes like a crushed Oreo. This was from the Japan Centre and I think it was £1.50!


These are from the brand Kabaya and they are Pastel Chocolate Cone snacks from the Japan Centre. I'm not overly fond of these sweets, mostly due to the bad quality of chocolate. However most children will like these since the are fun with cure designs, the little pastel marble is a crunchy little biscuit which is quite a fun texture with the chocolate. These were £2.00 and to be honest i'll probably not buy them again, they are very plain and a little cheap tasting. 


These two are basically the same product from the Japan Centre and i had no idea until I got home ♥! These are also by Kabaya. The first is a small packet of chocolate panda biscuits, the white kind of tastes like milk but i'm not 100% sure. The box of pandas are pretty different to the first packet to be honest, as they have a caramel flavouring to them. However I think they taste like a Yankee Candle or something! They're not terrible just a little fragrant ♥ The small packet was 50p and the box was £1.00 from the Japan Centre!


NOM NOM NOM! ♥ I have bought these at every convention for three years, I absolutely love Match Pocky! They taste slightly herbal because of the matcha but mostly they just taste rich and creamy, amazingly addictive. These were bought from the Japan Centre for £2.00 


This is the cutest little wafer/biscuit panda i've every seen! ♥ It tastes like a Blue Riband to me (British biscuit) but the description on the Japan Centre website says it is a milk & white chocolate flavoured wafer. Either way I think it tastes fantastic and I think it was 50p from the Japan Centre stall on the last day of the convention!



This was the weirdest tasting thing of the day... WOW what a flavour! I've bought this Sangaria soft drink before but in the Melon Soda flavour, this is Grape and oh my god does it taste amazing. I would definitely not recommend you to drink it daily (so much sugar) but it needs to be tried at least once. The flavour is traditional artificial grape but the drink almost has a sherbet flavour/texture, it's so tangy and amazing. Highly recommended! This was again bought from the Japan Centre for £2.00.

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 


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!
 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.
