Crunchy Sushi Day Polymer Clay Charms and Accessories | Phone Charm and Necklace Product Review


Hey guys!! Today I have an AMAZING review for you! I am seriously so so so excited about these awesome products from Crunchy Sushi Day. When Crunchy Sushi Day originally contacted me for a review, I took a look at their shop and was instantly impressed by the craftsmanship of their clay charms. I mean... just look at how perfect these princesses are:



Like... damn! SO PERFECT. A perfect mix of chibi meets Disney.

Most of these charms come on cute chunky necklaces, but chunky necklaces aren't really my style. Actually, most Disney princesses aren't really my style either, believe it or not (although Pocahontas, Mulan, and Jasmine are my jam). But I didn't want to turn down this chance because I could see the talent in the creation of these charms. So I popped the question: Do you take custom orders?

Crunchy Sushi Day was incredibly supportive of my idea for a Harry Potter phone charm. Not to mention that LATER THAT DAY, I had a picture of the handmade charm set in my inbox. You guysssssss! IT'S SO PERFECT I COULD CRY.

Later that week, this showed up in the mail:


SOOOO EXCITED!

I opened it up to find two perfect little gems. A Harry Potter phone charm set & a bat necklace, which I will get to later. But first...!


LOOK HOW CUTE!!! HARRY & HIS BROOM! *cries uncontrollably*


!!!!!!!!!!!

He looks so perfectly cute with my Marauder's Map phone case!


Hehehe... I am SO IN LOVE.

Harry & his broom are attached to a charm peg so I can put him in my headphone jack. Great for iPhones or any other phone that doesn't have a good spot for charms!


*giggle*

Just look at all the detail in his hair and everything!

EyeCandy's Cosplay and Halloween Contact Lenses | Cosplay Contact Product Review


Hi sweeties! Today we have another Halloween & Cosplay lens review for you!! Time is running short for you to buy lenses for your Halloween costumes, and today I've got a good one for you! Do you guys remember EyeCandy's from the circle lens review I did a few weeks ago? Well, we have them here again with us, and this time, we are celebrating Halloween.

So there is this lens. And I've been wanting it. Forever. Always so curious....

I've seen it around on other sites, but have never gotten it. I've always gone the practical route and just gotten circle lenses that I can wear with anything. But this one... This one has always caught my eye.

Are you ready to see it?


I've only worn lenses with a printed design on it once before (obviously not counting the designs of regular circles), and it was cheetah print and I looked 100% insane. When EyeCandy's offered a Halloween review, I took my chance to get these super kawaii anime lenses to test them out!!!

My head has been in a million places lately and I totally forgot I was doing this review, so you can imagine my pure excitement and joy when the mail carrier delivered these to me!! It was like Christmas!


Included in my package were the lenses, a wear & care guide (very helpful for newbies!), a suuuuper cute Mio Friends contact lens case, and EyeCandy's business card.


EyeCandy's business card is super cute and shimmery and the back even helps you remember when your lenses expire!! In the case of these cosplay lenses, they are 1 year disposable. 




When you open up the Wear & Care guide, it looks like this. It is very helpful, and the illustrations are really cute too! I will upload some closeups of it so you can read how to put in and take care of your contacts if you're new!




Helpful right?


What a cute frog case!! It is my first Mio Friends character case! It comes with contact holders too, which is nice for sanitary reasons. They also make Mio Friends character cases that come as keychains or phone straps! This one is just the regular case, but what a great idea! Check out all of EyeCandy's cute cases here!!


SO CUTE! OMG. He's looking at me! Squeeeee!~

Finally, let's check out these lenses!!


Their packaging is pretty wild! Haha!
You can see through the package to make sure you got the right pair.


Once you take them out of the box, they are sealed in these little individual packages to make sure they are fresh. I prefer this packaging style to the glass vials, just because they are so much easier to open.

Finally, here is everything out of it's shipping packaging and ready to be played with!


The lenses come with their own little plastic lens case, but of course, I opted to use the frog case. Who wouldn't?!

Let's check out of a closeup of their design. Remember to let all lenses soak in multi-purpose solution for AT LEAST six hours before wearing the first time.


It looks so good!
Let's put them on! (PS. I am wearing Born to Flirt by Dolluxe!)


Oh my god! The color and pattern... So amazing!



It is so cool!! From far away, these lenses just look like a light blue color. I have never had such light blue lenses, and I think they are so pretty! :D 



But up close, they make you look like an anime character!



Overall Rating
Design~ 3/5
I LOVE LOVE LOVE the design on these lenses. I think they are really adorable & cute with the slightly two-tone blue sections and the white drops. I really love the pattern so much! My only complaint with these lenses is that they spin around. I wish they were weighted at the bottom to keep them from turning because I think the design is best when the drops are at the bottom. I also wish they were a little bigger. Otherwise, I think they are perfect!

Color~ 5/5
These lenses are bright blue! They show up really well (even on dark eyes!) and the design is clear. I think having the different shades of blue & highlights give them a lot of depth and make them really pretty. :D 

Enlargement~ 3/5
These lenses are 14.0mm, which does enlarge, but not hugely. I prefer 14.5 and up, but my eyes are also a lot bigger than most peoples'. I'm sure they would look bigger and more cartoonish in smaller eyes!

Comfort~ 5/5
Can't even feel them!

 Naturalness~ 2/5
From far away, they just look like you were blessed with bright light blue eyes. When you get closer, you can see the awesome design which is a 0 on the natural scale ;D

----------------------------------------------

So what do you think?? Do you like designs on your cosplay contacts? I know I said it a million times, but I really love this pair! :D

If you ORDER RIGHT NOW, you can still get them in time for Halloween!! Use code "Halloween Express Shipping Promotion" to get your lenses before Halloween! This sale ends on the 20th (tomorrow!) so hurry hurry hurry!

See Clear FIERCE Theatrical Contact Lens Product Review | Halloween Contacts


Heyyy spooksters! Who is excited about another Halloween-themed review??? I know I am! Today's review is actually Part 2 of my See Clear review that I began last month. I thought it would be best to separate the circle lenses from the Fierce lenses, so that I could save these awesome lenses for a Halloween review. >:D Today is your lucky day!


These lenses are Red Vampire and White Out from See Clear's FIERCE Collection. I am so excited to review these today because I LOVE costume lenses! These definitely give off a creepy effect. Let's start with White Out, which you can buy from EyeStylez!




Here is the box! I like how they labeled what it is on the back, though with the Fierce lenses, it's pretty obvious. It would be a nice touch with circles which can often be much closer to each other in design! Let's open it up!


The Fierce lenses are both in individual containers. You just peel back the silver coating to get to your sealed, fresh lens.


Here is what White Out looks like! Pretty dang white!

For this look, I wanted to do something creepy. Something ghostly with blacked out eye sockets and haunting white eyes. A quick run to the store and I came back with all my Halloween makeup needs for $4~

Instagram: @alexapoletti

For the first look, I used the white base and the black crayon from the vampire kit to create my haunting look. This is a very basic makeup look, so I made a QUICK photo tutorial of the steps to create it.


 First, use the white base to cover your face (Photo 1) I was hoping it would dry but it never did, so I ended up using some powder to set it. Then I used the black crayon to color black circles around my eyes (Photo 2). I smeared it out with my finger. It's very creamy so it's easy to smear. Then to make it darker and to set the black, I did a layer of black eyeshadow on top of the black crayon (Photo 3). Tap the eyeshadow on instead of dragging it across your lid. This helps it stay fully pigmented and helps control fallout. Then I drew black lines/cracks/veins/whatever coming out of the black eye sockets with the black crayon (Photo 4). Then put in the See Clear FIERCE White Out lenses (Photo 5). Pop on a GLW and you're ready to scare your neighbors!


Boo! Mwahaha... I fully enjoyed sitting in the window and scaring people.



I couldn't resist this opportunity to grab some awesome Halloween studio shots. I added some crazy teased out pigtails to Gothic Lolita Wigs new white bob & here ya go!~


Channeling Bellatrix Lestrange in this one. >:D


Ahh!! Scaring myself! >.<


MWAAAAHAHAHAH I LOVE BEING CREEPY.


Overall Rating
Design~ 5/5
These are exactly what they try to be.

Color~ 5/5
Definitely makes any color eye look white.

Enlargement~ 0/5
This lens is designed to make your eyes look like it has no iris.

Comfort~ 3/5
The small hole to see through impairs vision slightly. It's much better than full white-out lenses that also cover the pupil, so I'll give it a 3/5. I wouldn't wear these too often because of the vision impairment (and because of the sheer terror I would inflict on everyone who glanced my direction).

 Naturalness~ 0/5
This would only look natural on a ghoulish zombie.

Next up.... RED VAMPIRE! WOOOOHOO! Love it!


Oh my gosh. Have I mentioned that I FREAKING LOVE HALLOWEEN?!>!

okay.... focus....

Red Vampire.


It comes in a box with a label "RED VAMPIRE" just like it's creepy White Out brother.


Same packaging as well. It's exciting to see a solid red contact lens staring out at you... Ohhh the possibilities!


!!!!!!!!!

I am not doing a makeup tutorial for this look because it is much more intricate than the ghost look. I hope you understand! :3


Here is how it looks with one Red Vampire lens in. :) FYI~ The lashes used in this look are Dolluxe Lashing Out Loud used on both top and bottom.




They are pretty awesome right!?!?
My Instagram followers LOVED this look when I posted a preview last night. I am excited to launch the photos now! :D



Again, I could not resist the studio shots! Here you go!~





I am going to suck your blood!!! (O,.,O)

A look like this would not be complete without red contacts. See Clear pulling through in the clutch!

Design~ 5/5
These are exactly what they try to be.

Color~ 5/5
Definitely makes any color eye look red.

Enlargement~ 0/5
This lens is meant to cover the iris and make them appear solid red. It's not intended to enlarge.

Comfort~ 3/5
Same as the white pair above:
The small hole to see through impairs vision slightly. I wouldn't wear these too often because of the vision impairment (and because of the sheer terror I would inflict on everyone who glanced my direction).

 Naturalness~ 0/5
This would only look natural on a blood sucking vampire.
