Coscon Anime Violet + OMK4U Review !!

Hello! It's finally summer break with school, so I have lots and lots more time to be updating my blog! I'm super excited and I have lots to share and have many plans for this summer! I hope you enjoy!

A bit ago, I found Oh My Kitty 4 U, an affordable lens company with lots of other cute items! They have many adorable exclusive designs on top of all the different lenses they have! Today I will be focusing on one item I have purchased from them!



Specifically, I purchased Coscon Anime Violet! These lenses are part of the "coscon anime" series, which consist of lenses that have manga/anime inspired designs!

Here are the specifications for the lenses....

Diameter 14.5mm
Water content 40%
Life Span 1 Year
Base Curve 8.6
These lenses come in plano or -1.0 to -8.50! OMK sells the brand Bella Lens for this series.

My first experience with OMK was very nice, their processing time was very quick, and I was updated frequently on my order! OMK has fast shipping, but shipping rates are higher than other circle lens companies I have bought from. Nevertheless, it's VERY quick, and I highly recommend OMK if you are in a time crunch for a cosplay!


My order arrived within the week I ordered it, via DHL! My package included the lenses, a contact lens case, and stickers! There was also a brocher about different lenses that OMK has available! 


The lenses on the inside looked as such: !

When taking them out of the case, I noticed that they were very soft! They folded a lot, and were so light! I personally liked that, since the softness also helped with the comfort of them.

I think that these lenses are so pretty! Super opaque, and the design is one of my favorites! They almost look unreal in photos, so I was so excited to see how incredible they are in person!

On my first wear, the softness felt like it was working against me. It was hard to get the lens to "cup" so that I could put it in my eye. I didn't really mind though, it wasn't the worst thing, and I was able to get them in relatively quick! They felt extremely light weight, and I could not feel them in my eyes at all! They also did not affect my vision at all! These lenses are super visible, and cover my natural eye color completely!

Bright indoor lighting!
I wore these lenses for my Kanan Matsuura cosplay at Anime Oasis! I wore them for 6 hours, and I barely noticed them! Near the end of the hours, my eyes felt dry, but it was more of a discomfort rather than a pain (which is also very common in all circle lens).

No filter, indoor lighting!
During the con, a lot of my friends mentioned how amazing they looked and how awesome the design was! I feel like these lenses don't fit Kanan very well, but I still love the color! I will definitely use them a lot in the future.
Outdoor lighting, no filter!

Overall, my thoughts on these lenses are....

Comfort ..... 4.5/5
Design ..... 5/5
Quality ..... 5/5

These lenses are some of my absolute favorites now! I already loved the design, and the color payout and coverage was so impressive. I am so excited to see how the rest look on my eyes now! These lenses are comfortable, and so cute!

My thoughts on OMK....

Variety .... 4/5
Price .... 5/5
Processing .... 5/5
Shipping .... 4/5


Personally, I love OMK. Their lenses are so cute and it's a good website! They have lots of discounts, sales, bundles, etc. I really adore what they have available and how quickly their processing+shipping is! I give the shipping a 4/5 due to the fact that the rates start of a bit higher than other places, which can be inconvenient to other people.

REVIEW: YRUxDollskill // SPACEBOUND LALA PLATFORM SNEAKERS

Hello! I am back with a review for YRU's Spacebound LaLa Platforms!



These shoes are a gorgeous holographic green, with a 3 inch heel and a 2 inch platform!

photo from website*

This was my first order from Dollskill, and I noticed their processing and free shipping rate/time is rather quick. I ordered these on Saturday, and received them on Wednesday! I was really happy with that, and hope future orders received and shipped just as quick!
My package was rather distressed, it looked really battered when I received it. It didn't really bother me, since another order I got from YRU was just as beat up as this one.

The shoes are so pretty! They are so nice to look at, and I really enjoy the material they are made of.

They are weirdly yellow looking a lot of the time, instead of that rich green shown in the stock photos. I didn't mind, because they are still a really cool iridescent color!
  
The only issue I really had with these shoes were how beat up they were. Once I opened them, I almost immediately saw a lot of small dents in the platform.
            
            
They are not insanely noticeable, but I do believe it could be explained by how badly beat up the box is. My other YRU shoes are not damaged, which is the only thing that confuses me because that box was also really badly treated.  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I guess I will just have to find out if it's a YRU issue or Dollskill, but I don't mind.


Thank you for reading!! Until next time!!

sandy2014lou eBay store review!



             Hello! Today I will be reviewing my favourite eBay store, sandy2014lou! (✿´ ꒳ ` ) I've bought many things from this store and it's affiliates, and I'll be reviewing each item I've bought! I've been buying from this store since April 2015, and each time I've been really happy with each item! So, let's go! ~♬♫♬

*This is not a sponsored review! I bought every item with my own money.

First off, I found this store while looking for a wig for my Nitori cosplay. I use a system to chose a seller, and when sandy2014lou checked out, I went for it! I also found a Samezuka swim club jacket, and bought them together. ☆ ☆
 
The two items came together, actually. I was pretty surprised when I got the items together, the shipping dates where different. Though, I realised it was probably best, since the wig came in a day after the expected date, and the jacket came WAY early. The shipping wasn't bad, the items were of really high quality, and I was really pleased with the items I got. 
                  


The Nitori wig is actually really nice, so I used it for a lot more than just cosplay!


The next item I got was an Iwatobi jacket for my friend since she won a giveaway I hosted. (ㅇㅅㅇ) It was really nice too!! She was really happy with it, and when I saw her in real life, she looked amazing! The material is very similar to the Samezuka one, and just like it, there is embroidery and well sewed.

* Cosplayer/friend is ikakosupure on IG!



After that, I got a wig for my Umi Sonoda cosplay. Sandy2014lou didn't carry an wig meant for Umi, but I found one that's the same colour, and long enough for her. I was really worried about buying a long wig, I'm really bad at taking care of long wigs, and the few I've bought in the past were not good quality. (´°̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥ω°̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥`) Though, I by this time I fully trusted this seller, and went for it.
The wefts are thick, the cap it comes with is nice, and the colour was amazing!╰(*´︶`*)╯ From the two wigs I bought, I noticed they looked really shiny. Luckily, I was able to fix that, and the wigs look fine now!
                             


Recently, I started an Oikawa cosplay, which I originally planned to make completely from scratch. I usually make cosplay like that, and I prefer that was greatly. I've always been really sketched out from buying cosplay online. I have an awkward body shape and I don't like to feel bad about myself, which happens a lot when I buy stuff like pants online.
Tough, this time, I went for it, and I'm actually really happy with it!! 
    (・ω<) テヘペ

The material is really stretchy, which is a huge bonus! The thing is, I personally wouldn't use that kind of material for a sport uniform. I would have used a thick, non-strech material. I was really pleased with the quality! I actually went out and recommended this store for my friend who needed a Karasuno uniform. 
Since I recently bought this, I'm able to show the packaging, and tel more about the shipping!
I bought this on June 10th, and it arrived on June 22nd. That to me is pretty quick, and the original estimated delivery day was the 28th. I mean, for even faster shipping, sandy2014lou offers a U.S. ship, and those come from the U.S. instead of China.
For me, the packages have always been a small plastic bag that is received in the mail, and looks like so ^^
The first time I got a package, it came with a letter from rolecosplay, and this time it did not. I looked further into it, and it turns out that sandy2014lou is affiliated with a lot of online cosplay stores, so I was less sketched out about the origins of the cosplay. Anyway, the package came with this:

                 
I immediately noticed the colours, and thought they looked a bit off? So, I grabbed my Oikawa figure, and compared, and the photo ended up making the two look the exact same?! Truly, I didn't mind the colour, and I totally understand differences in screens and so forth. It still is an amazing cosplay though!! I'm pretty sure I'll be buying another costume soon ~!


Now, even more recently, I bought a wig for my D.Va cosplay. I couldn't find one that was as light as her hair, but I went with one that was a little darker. I didn't mind that, I could fix it with lighting and so forth. Since I was really happy with the last long wig I bought, I was really relieved I had a seller I could trust both wig-wise, and now costume wise~! ❤ 
The wig was easy to style, and had a fake part at the top which made it look really natural! I enjoyed it a lot, and really like the way it looks. There isn't much shine either, which is amazing!




 until next time ~! 

* review was written in 2016 but never published! I have since then still bought from Sandy2014lou/sandylou2012 and still recommend them!

PEACHMO REVIEW


˚‧*♡ॢ˃̶̤̀◡˂̶̤́♡ॢ*‧˚
     

**Peachmo Store may no longer exist. Their storeny is still live, but I believe the seller made their goal to sell enough in order to pay for tuition and removed the store. 

So please forgive the many missing images and non-working links !!!


         I recently found this adorable shop called Peachmo !! ♥ They have really cute aesthetic clothes, and at really good prices! ✿ At first, I was a bit skeptic of the shop because of how little the items prices were compared to other shops. Despite that, I read the FAQ, and looked at their other social media, and felt okay buying from them ! Their store uses PayPal, and they provide free shipping!! ╰(✧∇✧)
        Now, I can assure you that Peachmo can be trusted!! I decided to purchase their transparent rain boots, "I'm Different" sweater, and an onigiri jumper! ♡ ˭̡̞(◞⁎˃ᆺ˂)◞*✰




Here is the stock image of the boots from Peachmo's website:
                                   
Website's details on the shoes:
Material:
• Rubber
Measurements:
US 6.5
• Shoe Length: 23.5 cm
US 7.5
• Shoe Length: 24 cm
US 8.5
• Shoe Length: 24.5 cm
US 9
• Shoe Length: 25 cm
         Personally, I really love combat/rain boots, so I was very excited to order these! As far as other sites, their prices for shoes are ridiculously expensive. I found that Peachmo, among other stores, has a reasonable price !! \(●⁰౪⁰●\)

        The package came about a week or two later, which is very, very cool, especially with the free shipping ! I was a tad bit disappointed, for their packaging was not very cute (as I have experienced many times in the past). It was in a typical large grey parcel packaging bag, and, going off my bias again, there was no letter, or any way to identify Peachmo other than the address.

               
            BUT!! They are very, very cute!! Not very comfortable (at all), but the aesthetic of them is amazing. (*•̀ᴗ•́*)و ̑̑ I did find the colour to be a tad bit strange in some artificial lightings, they give off a awkward tint of neon purple. Also, the packaging left dust all over them, I did clean them up a bit, and now I feel really great about these shoes !!

             Overall, I give these shoes a 4/5!! ٩(●˙▿˙●)۶…⋆ฺ

  


Stock images, and description from website:


                 
Material:
• Cotton & Polyester
Measurements:
• Bust: 95 cm
• Sleeve: 43 cm
• Shoulder: 42 cm
• Length: 59 cm

For this jumper, there was only one set size, which was a little troublesome! I couldn't really convince myself to buy it, in fear of the sizing being off, or shrinking.

Similar to the rain boots, the package came separately, and in normal packaging as seem below !! ✧

        I really love this sweater, and would give it a 10/10 !!! ヽ( ★ω★)ノ

              The only negative thing I have to say about this sweater is that there were random strings that were not properly fixed !! It wasn't hard to fix, so I really didn't mind.

            I give it a 9/10 !! ٩(๑꒦ິȏ꒦ິ๑)۶



 To close, I would say that I definitely recommend Peachmo 
✩ You can find this store on storenvy, instagram, and tumblr!! ✩
