Uniqso Circle Lenses Review



Hello, my strawberries!Today I have some beautiful lenses from my sponsors, Uniqso to review! The lenses I decided to review are the GEO Xtra WTC12 Blue! Uniqso only sells genuine GEO brand lenses because they really want you to take care of your eyes! You can read more about their "Anti-fake lenses" policy here. If you would like to know more about Uniqso click here! Let's get started!

The contacts came in this paper packaging. I got a tracking number so I could see where my package was at any time, which was really helpful! I ordered the contacts on August 1st, and they arrived on August 19th, so it took exactly 19 days to get here! That is a surprisingly good time on shipping, especially since the contacts are shipped from Malaysia!


The contacts came in this adorable little box with teddy bears on it! It's so cute I decided to keep it to store earrings! I also love how they have their website on the bottom along with a 10% off code!

The contacts come in two separate glass bottles, and they are wrapped in bubble wrap to prevent any breakage or damage to the lenses!
You can also get your contacts prescribed if you need to see out of them! I personally need glasses to see (my prescription is -2.25), but I got these lenses unprescribed so I could wear them on days where I felt like wearing my glasses! If you don't need contacts to correct your vision just choose the 0.00 option for both your left and right eye!


The contacts also come with a super cute surprise case for your contacts! The glass bottles that your contacts come in are only used for shipping, once you take them out, you should store your contacts in the case they come with, and make sure to add contact solution so they don't dry out!

Close up
As you can see, the enlargement on these lenses is really noticeable! These lenses are really gorgeous and I've gotten a bunch of compliments on them. If you're looking for lenses that are more subtle and pretty, I really suggest these! I wore them for 8 hours straight the first day I got them, and they were so comfortable sometimes I forgot I was wearing them! Please remember never sleep with your lenses in and do not wear them everyday. Be sure to clean your lenses regularly and take care of your eyes they're the only ones you have, after all~

Overall Rating- 
Color: 5/5
Comfort: 5/5
Enlargement: 5/5
Customer service: 5/5
Shipping: 5/5 

 I would like to add a note that Uniqso has the most amazing customer service that I have ever encountered. Not only are they super friendly, but they are also very informative and willing to help!

Overall, I am extremely satisfied with the GEO Xtra WTC12  lenses from Uniqso! The color is perfect, they're comfortable and super cheap! I honestly have no complaints, whatsoever! I highly recommend that you check out Uniqso if you're looking for a good pair of circle lenses.

Aliexpress Merida Wig Review

Hi guys! So I'm back with another review, this one for a wig! I bought my Merida wig from aliexpress (I know, it's so very taboo) from the seller YIWU JIASINI COSPLAY WIG INTERNATIONAL TRADE CO.LTD. Here's the link to the wig!



I was honestly really nervous buying any wig for Merida. Her hair is huge, and I didn't want anything that could even be considered 'classy' looking. So I stumbled on this wig, and seeing that both the wig itself and the seller had really good reviews, I decided to go for it.

The wig came in a little less than a month after I bought it.

The package had a few tears in it, which concerned me. But that wasn't the fault of the manufacturer but the post office, so it's not their fault!
The wig came in a clear bag, and I was a bit nervous about how smashed it looked in there, in fear that the curls would also be smashed. The wig also didn't come with a protective hair net around it, which was a bit strange.
It came with a wig cap as well, so that was super great.
I was honestly shocked at how nice the wig actually looked. I expected to have to put some work into it to make it look nice, but I didn't even have to touch it. There are all different types of curls, so it looks more natural! There are tight ones, loose ones, some facing right, others left, all different kinds! The one downside to this wig though is that it gets frizzy easily, and there's nothing you can do to fix it without ruining the curls, so you have to be really careful!


Here are two pictures of me wearing the wig so you can get an overall feel for how it looks, hangs, and the length of it!





                                                                           Pros-
  • How cheap it was! $28.89 with free shipping!
  • The curls
  • The shipping time
  • How natural it looks
  • All the different types of curls


                                                               Cons-
  • The friz once it gets to that stage
  • No hair net for storage
 
                                                                   Overall-

Overall I'm in love with this wig. The shipping was extremely fast, and the curls are honestly to die for. I was provided with a tracking number so I could see where my package was at any time! The friz really does suck, but honestly, the wig was so cheap and gorgeous that if it gets too bad you can buy another one for a low cost. I recommend YIWU JIASINI COSPLAY WIG INTERNATIONAL TRADE CO.LTD to anyone, and I'll definitely be ordering from there again!

Hellocosplay Ciel Phantomhive Cosplay Review

Hey, guys! Long time no see! So I got my Ciel cosplay in from Hellocosplay.com, and I decided to do a review!

So this is the costume I ordered 





I placed the order on June 3rd, and it arrived on June 25th, so it took roughly two weeks to get here. When I placed the order I told them I needed the costume no later than July 25th, and they got it to me a month earlier than that (wow!)

It came really well wrapped, but the package was huge! It seemed really stuffed in there, making the package super fat!


Everything was (kinda) folded and stuffed into a clear bag! 


The shirt is amazing. It desperately needs ironing, though, haha! The lace is so, so amazing, and it fits perfectly! 

Here's a close up of the lace. It's so lovely.


I'm in love with the sleeves. They're so perfectly flared, and just add the extra oomph to the costume.I think the sleeves might be my favorite part of the entire costume! 


I want to apologize for the bad picture, haha. These pants are hard to photograph! When I saw them, I was reaaalllyyy nervous! They look a little... dumb to say it lightly. They reminded me of something that Pinocchio would wear. But when I put them on they looked great! The ruffly top and coat hide most of them, actually, they're mostly there just to be there, if you know what I mean. They're really comfortable!

This picture shows the material much better than the first. It's this beautiful dark purpleish blue velvet. This shows my favorite part of the pants. Yes, you guessed it. Pockets. No, not lame fake pockets, real, nice pockets. No more shoving your money in your bra or shoes at a con, finally, real pockets. I almost cried of joy.  

The coat is beautiful, but it's actually way too big for me. I ordered a size XS and give all my proper measurements, but this is like, a handful of fabric too big. I would say a size or two too big. But other than that, it's made really nicely. It's the same materal as the shorts, but they don't directly go next to each other, so it looks really nice, not strange at all. Actually, I think it'd be strange if they were different fabrics.

The buttons are sewn on really nice and snug.

They came with these gorgeous roses with feathers that you're supposed to pin on the coat.

I really love the back too!

                                                          
                                                              Onto the accessories!

So this is the bow you're supposed to put on the back. I really like it, though it seems to have gotten misshapen during shipping which is a shame.
The gloves are really, really weird. Like, since when did fingers look like little sausages? They're also really weirdly cut. I could see how the cut would work if they were sewn better. There's no way I'm going to wear these, sadly.


Here's what they look like on. Super weird, right?

Here are the little leg guard thingies. They're supposed to go on your calf above your socks. Personally they don't fit me where they're supposed to. Actually, where they do fit me is my mid thigh, but the shorts cover that are so whats the point in wearing them? They're really big.

The hat is one of my favorites parts. Like the bow, it was crumpled during shipping, though. Regardless I adore the details like the roses, blue ribbon, and weird lace rose thingy.



Here are some close ups of the hat's decorations

I had no intention to use the eye patch that came with the costume, but it's surprisingly really nice! I'll definitely be using this.

The little ascot thing is nice, but a bit plain for my liking, so I'm going to add more lace to it! But that's all about personal preference!

The bows a pathetic, if you can even call it a bow. It's more like a nicely folded ribbon, It came separate than the ascot, so you had to pin it down. But it didn't come with a pin, which they usually do, which was kinda weird.

The tassels are really, really long. I don't mind, really, but i would have preferred them to be shorter to minimize the risk of it looking awkward.


This is how it looks on!



                                                                           Pros-
  • The cheap cost compared to what you actually get
  • The gorgeous lace
  • How well made it is
  • The shipping time 
  • Attention to detail 
  • No weird stains, smells, or seam issues
  • Gorgeous material


                                                               Cons-
  • Sizing on the coat was too big despite giving my exact sizes and measurements
  • The pathetic little bow on the ascot 
  • Unfix able crinkling on the cat and bow
 
                                                                   Overall-

Overall I think this is my favorite costume I own (which is sawing a lot since I own like, 6). The costume is so, so beautiful and well made. The shipping was extremely fast, I've never gotten a costume in only two weeks! The costumer service is impeccable and they're super friendly! I was provided with a tracking number so I could see where my package was at any time! I recommend hellocosplay to anyone, and I'll definitely be ordering from there again!

ManyCosplay.com Review (Alois Trancy Cosplay)

So I finally decided to do a ManyCosplay review! I hope this is helpful! 
This is like super duper late (almost a year, eep!), so I apologize if I don't remember the correct dates for when I received and ordered the items!


So I ordered this cosplay from Manycosplay.com, and it took a month to a month and a half to get here! Which I think is very good, considering they had to make it and then mail it from Hong Kong to California! 














I apologize for the scribbles, I had to get rid of my address. The package came a bit battered up (but that's to expect), but there was no tears in the packaging. The package was covered in masking tape to make sure that it didn't tear! 


























The cosplay itself came in a plastic bag with the companies card with the cosplay nicely folded inside.




































The coat is an absolutely lovely color! You can't really see the real color of it because of shitty lighting, but I'll include better pictures at the end! It's made of polyester and the inside lining is black satin. The buttons are a lovely gold, and were sewn on steadily to the coat. The jacket isn't too warm and it's very light weight so you won't feel weighed down wherever you're wearing it too! 


The shirt it came with was sewn really well, though the fabric is a bit see through! So I warn anyone wearing a bra or binder with this, you'll be able to see it. Though this cosplay comes with a vest, so you can't really see anything if you wear it. (: After a few wears though the button holes began to fray a bit, so that could become an issue.



































The vest is absolutely lovely. It's made out of polyester, and the inside lining is of black silk. The buttons are sewn on a bit loose, but that's a really easy fix! 




































I really love the shorts. They go up to your mid stomach, so don't expect them to rest at your hips! There's a clasp on the inside, which is really nice because there's no button! The zipper is nice, and is hidden! The picture makes it look like one side is shorter, but I was too excited and ended up not unfolding it correctly! Both legs are the same length, I promise! 









This is how it looks on! It fits me perfectly and everything looks lovely and just how it said it would look in the pictures!



































Pros- 

  • The cosplay looks exactly how it's pictured on the website.
  • It fits perfectly.
  • No weird stains, smells, or seam issues.
  • Came with lots of safety pins! 
  • Really nice lining on the vest and jacket. 

Cons-
  • The buttons weren't sewn on snugly.
  • Fraying of the white shirts button holes. 

Overall- 

This is seriously one of my favorite cosplays I own! There weren't any cons that can't be fixed/are super duper minor. The costumer service is impeccable and they're super friendly! I was provided with a tracking number so I could see where my package was at any time! I recommend manycosplay to anyone, and I'll definitely be ordering from there again! 
10/10
