Now 2 of 2 in!

And there we have it this concludes the photo session for these lenses now on to the actual review~ I hope this helps and I hope you enjoyed it! :3 :3

===============================

Now for my basic review!!!!

===============================

Color: Blue (prescribed)
Size: 14.5mm
Brand:  Vassen Dolly+
Comfort: 7/10
Seller: Honeycolor
Price: 19.90 USD + 6.00 USD shipping (NOTE: these contacts were on sale when I bought them)

Description: I am sad to inform that the color was not to my expectations.  If you compare this pair to my previous reviewed red ones I got form the same brand.  There is a pretty large gap in how vibrant the colors are T A T .  The enlarging affect is just like the red ones BIG and very dolly.  well back to color, it's not bad that the color was not as powerful as the red ones but I am disappointed T A T with my natural dark eye color, I will forever be in search for a vibrant blue! (/T 3 T)/

Other Comments:
same as the read ones not problem with comfort, again I don't think I'll have any problems wearing them for around 5 hours or so. :D

Arararara~ I really need to get back into a better habit with updates D:

Mello~ and Hello~ :3 :3
I'm sorry for such a delayed update! A popular convention called "Anime North" had just passed<3 and I was completely exhausted after~ :D :D now I'm back in action and things have piled up T A T;;;
OK! let's get this roaring~ :d
first I'll give a quick on some new contacts I got for my Sebastian cosplay I honestly didn't think they were going to make it in time cause I made the order for them very last minute xD xD;; but surprise surprise! they came in just a few days before the convention O v O;;; ojhohoho! luck was really on my side xD so here you go~

Again I got these one's from Honey Color!

I was pretty surprised they have different color boxes! It was such a cute and neat thing to find out about! :D and If I'm not over thinking it, last time I got aqua lenses with a blue box, and this time I got red lenses with a pink box! I wonder if they purposely color coordinate them~? probably note xD

The bottle they came in~

Here's the entire set I got from them~! :D
and the nice little free animal lens case~
again it's an orange yellow color I still feel like they are somewhat color coordinating this xD

Lenses in the bottle waiting for me to open them~

*******NOW TO PUT THEM ON~!!!!! FWISHHHHHH~*********

With one contact in :)

These ones make my eyes look HUGE well the color IS super duper strong so I'm not surprised to see such a strong difference O v O still when I look back at these pictures I go "#)()#*$#@(#))@!????" cause it's so different! but in a very good way~!! :D

With both contacts in!

I see you~~~~ cause these are prescription! Muahahahah~!!! >:D with both in my eyes are like BAM! I really love the color it's perfectly unnatural! xD xD and that's what I was going for so these I do highly recommend for cosplay contacts!

===============================

Now for my basic review!!!!

===============================

Color: Red (prescribed)
Size: 14.5mm
Brand:  Vassen Dolly+
Comfort: 7/10
Seller: Honeycolor
Price: 22.90 USD + 6.00 USD shipping (28.90USD)

Description: THE COLOR IS AWESOME POSSUM xD very vibrate and unnatural! exactly what I was going for!  I completely recommend this for cosplaying! Though the size is BIG and very dolly I'm not a personal fan of large contacts but many friends suggested these ones if it was a strong vibrate color that I wanted.  And of course they were right~ I'm pretty happy with them :)

Other Comments:
Pretty comfortable I had no problems wearing them for around 5 hours or so. :D

Thanks for reading I hope this review was enlightening :3 :3
Have a great day~
-CosplayAnimal~
:3 :3

Hey Hey~ You You~ it's been a while! :P

Howdy dowdy everyone~ :D

and long time not posting orz 

I've been busy since Anime north is approaching!  Just 2 more weeks!! and i'm not even near finishing all of my costumes!! XD xD;;; wish me luck in this last minute rush of cosplay making :3 :3 

though I've gotten pretty good and possibly too good at doing things last minute, so I have (unnecessary) confidences :9 which is a bad thing!! and which I do not suggest you make a habit of! xD;;

Anyways today I have a short post about some new contacts I've gotten recently from another site! :D

They are from Neo Cosmo:

Neo Sunflower Aqua 

Usage Modality:  Yearly
BC:  8.6 mm
DIA:  14.2 mm
Water content:  45%

*Information taken from the original Honeycolor site*

www.Honeycolor.com

Their logo box~ it was cute! :D

The contacts came in a really neat and cute looking box!  Where the contacts would fit in perfectly and snug~

 

Jan Jan~

Two peas in the same pod~

 Here's a shot of the insides of the box~                         

there are instructions on the back in English 

on how to put on and take care of contacts too!

They really put in their time which I found neat :3

*blub blub* Here's a shot of the lenses before I wore them~

*Ji------*A nd here they are when both are in~ :3

 I was so happy to see the color as I had hoped! it's pretty 50/50 when getting light colored contacts for people with dark colored eyes T A T;;;;;;; but I lucked out! :D huzzah~

 ===============================

Now for my basic review!!!!

===============================

Color: Aqua (prescribed)
Size: 14.2mm
Brand:  Neo Cosmo
Comfort: 7/10
Seller: Honeycolor
Price: 25.50 USD + 3.00 USD shipping (28.50USD)

SHIPPING COST NOTE: I bought this pair with another so total shipping 6.00$ USD  divided by 2 = 3.00$ USD but this is not the actual price if you were to buy one pair it would be around 5.00$ USD

Description: The color was as lovely as I had hoped comfort wise they are not bad, I haven't found a chance to wear them for a long period of time yet, but they seem alright, the lens is much softer on the finger, other contacts I have handled, but once in the eye it feels ok.  Not particularly uncomfortable or comfortable :|

Other Comments: The color is the best thing about these contacts, other than that comfort or handling is just the same as any other lenses :|

OVER ALL RATING: 9/10!
============================




Again thanks for reading! I hope this helped = v =;;;
cheers~
Have a great night~ :3

it's been a very very long time m(_ _m;;) gomenasai~

Hellooooooooooo~
I'm sorry for the long time no update or anything!
I've been wallowing in the reality of our worlds current financial state aka my current financial state OTL it's hard to make enough of a living, to continue living, while cosplaying of course! xD;; sigh~
well I've already steeled my heart and wallet for this = A = fare thee well future cosplays~ it'll just take another extra year or two to complete you~ I'm pretty sure my face can hold out till at most 30's ;D I've got a good 9-10 years left :P

Anyways~ oh to the good stuff~ >:D
today I bring to you some new products I've been using~ here's a quick break down of them:
>New eyeliner from MAC(and make up style)
>New Wig
>New colored contacts~

So tonight I will be giving my reviews on these products
so on wards!!! to the details~!!!!

First off~
as usual I'll be starting off with the wig~
but first the character the wig is for! >:3

 

 

TaDa~ Yurippe From Angel Beats!

I am a huge fan of Angel Beats! Love the series Loved ALL OF THE CHARACTERS<3 I choose yurippe for the sake of her awesomeness and for the sake I am using her for a skit planned for next year Anime North 2013 :3 :3 I got her wig way ahead of time for motivational purposes ;D

Here are some pictures of the wig when I just got it in<3

I enhanced the brightness so the actual color is darker in regular lights. but if put under bright lights it's pretty close to the picture ;D



NOTE: sorry I look pretty sullen in the picture, it's been a while xD;;

not so sullen ^u^

From the top~

Here are the last two before my over all rating review on the wig~ (^ 0 ^)/

Ok~! all done with the wig tests :3 :3 for yurippe~ if some have not noticed the character actually has shorter hair than than the wig I have so I will be chop-chopping this T 0 T;;
sadly I hate cutting wigs but this is the safest way I've learned to assure a guarantee on how I want the style to turn out to be OTL plus it's just cheaper OTL;;;; lol so yes onwards to the over all reivew~ :D


BASIC INFO:
Color: Purple red (close to wine red but more of a red with hints of a colder purple)
Length:  60cm loosely
Wig Style: straight, long bangs
Description: bangs were described as doll cut but came long, which I am happy about cause I like to style and personally messy up my wig myself xD the color was pretty accurate I'd say it's not as purple as I had hoped but it was better than I had expected :).  Style wise it's, nice not to thin, all around straight consistent make, it doesn't tangle easily despite it's length o , o very nice and smooth feeling<3

Where I Bought it From:
Source: Ebay
Seller: 2262128 (99.5-%)
Price at time:  $19.00 CAD (sale) orig. 20.00 (not much of a sale lol)
MY COMMENTS ON THE WIG:
I'm pretty satisfied with the wig honestly speaking I had not expectations at all almost, but when it came in I was pretty happy :) it turned out to be a nice color and length the picture was not described accurately = A = as I had expected but still the gamble came out with a decent result I think I'd like to try my luck again with the seller :D

 ******************************* 
 OVER ALL RATING:  7/10
*******************************

!!!!!!!!!!NOW ON TO THE CONTACT LENSES!!!!!!!! :D

 *This is the first time I had Bought contacts online before it was thanks to a friend's recommendation to this site: http://www.candylens.com/

Honestly speaking I was VERY skeptical of buying CONTACTS online because there are many risks and warning etc... but since this friend recommended this site, and after doing the research many other seems to agree that this company was trust worthy and good~ so I decided to give it a shot~
and the results were not bad~ the first pair I got came in about 4 weeks after I ordered it normal time for shipping to Canada from anywhere in the Eastern Asian areas xD
The pair I got:

"Honoo Red Circle Lens"

****Here's a terrible picture i did sorry for the bad quality it's the first time I tried it and it came out pretty bad T A T;;;; but I didn't have time to do a re-take OTL so please bare with and pray I get better xD;;*****

This picture was taken when I had florescent lighting, the contacts look a very pretty dark, almost natural mauve-like color, much better for everyday looks, rather than cosplay I think.

I'll be following a similar format I usually do for Wigs to review the lenses~ :3

Color: Red (prescribed)
Size:15mm

Brand:  Honoo
Comfort: 7/10

Seller: Candylens
Price: 20.90 USD + 6.00 USD shipping (26.90USD)

Description: I was very disappointed about the color.  In the pictures they are described as a much more vibrant deep red T A T when I got them they looked very pink/purple, and when I wore them it became a mauvey, maroon like color, it's a lovely color but not what I was looking for OTL
I'd recommend this for everyday use, many ppl like the color and told it almost looked natural xD; which isn't bad :D
Comfort wise, I can wear them for around 8-9 hours at most but after 5 hours they get pretty dry and uncomfortable like most contacts.  which isn't had other than that I haven't really had any issues, other than the colors = A =;;

Other Comments: The sellers Candylens are very nice people! they send you a free contact lens case with the contacts, and the entire package it's self it very neatly done, so no harm comes to the contacts or the present! and even nicer the send you a sweet personalized hand written thank you note xD I found that very kind of them xD not many people can put for that kind of effort for such considerate good service xD

Hello~ Hello~ tonight I will be introducing

Natsume Zange-sama from the anime and manga series called; Inu x Boku SS

Natsume Zange<3

I loveeeeeeeeeee this character~
the mange version of him made me fall instantly : >
I still haven't really done anything for this cosplay~ the bunny ears are still in making the suit is easy enough to make/get it's not that hard so there's not much work~ :3 :3 tee hee~

I must admit I've wanted to try to take an open shirt shot for a while u , u;; it's quite embarrassing OTL lol

K! That's all~ I've been spamming red EVERYWHERE<3<3<3 thanks to this wig~ as some may have noticed this is the same curly red wig I had in my previous post! I finally took the time and straightened it with a hot iron straighter :3 :3
The results are quite satisfactory~

Straightening is always easier than curling a wig OTL oh gosh my elizabeth wig is going though hell atm sigh~ oh well that's for another post~ tee hee~

thanks for readin have a great night~

Mello~! :3 :3

Hello~ Hello~ and greetings to all :D
today err...tonight I have redness for you tonight~<3
I have been drunk on the fact I got into Sheridan but thanks to that tuition fee I'm plenty sober now = A =;;; to sober that I might need to get drunk for real OTL lol well leaving that aside for now~ let move onto the the review~!!

Introducing my New red wig<3 

I've always wanted one<3
it's a lovely shade of red<3
It's actually for a special secret cosplay~ I hope to dish out later in sunnier times~ :D ohohohohoh~~ but for the time being I need to put some major work into it + A + mUahahah~<3 anyways now on to some more shots of the wig~ :D

NOTE: the photos have been photoshopped to bring out the most color in the wig it's pretty dark with regular room lighting but it's a lovely vivid shade of red in real sun light of good lighting of the sort


BASIC INFO:
Color: Pure Medium Red.
Length:  60cm loosely
Wig Style: Curly ends
Description: It's a ABSOLUTELY lovely shade of red, there's no awkward plastic shine to the fibers, the curls are lovely as well.  The only thing I could really even complain about was how thin it was but for that price it's totally excusable! 

Where I Bought it From:
Source: Ebay
Seller: Betterdeals255 (Ebay-99%)
Price at time:  $12.69 CAD
MY COMMENTS ON THE WIG:
I reeeeeeeaaaalllllllllllllllyyyyyyyyy like it~  I had been eying it for a good time but that price makes you think its to good to be true, but coincidentally. A good friend recommended it to me, i saw how look looked on her and had to give it a shot!  and the results were awesome~ :D  It's just like the picture the seller shows surprisingly so it's a pretty safe buy it you want a nice simple red wig to play with~ :D

 OVER ALL RATING:  7/10

The reason...

Hey~ so the reason I have not posted up anything new on my cosplays is actually a very surprisingly good reason having NOTHING AT ALL to do with my laziness :9 tee hee~
so many of your who follow my bog already know of this bu~
Starting September 2012 I will start school at Sheridan college in their Animation program!!! :D :D :D

Here's proof! for you and me!! xD XD I had to screen cap, like everything! to make sure it was real XD XD;;;

so yes! since school will start for me next semester, that means 3 things!!
1) I have to start saving money wisely
2) I will be moving!
3) I may not be able to cosplay as much as I little do now xD;;;

this is be a slow and painful process for me xD;; cause of many things T A T;;;;; but it's worth it!! I've worked for this and finally it's here~<3 :D :D
well that's all i wanted to say~ now I need to sleep cause I'm dead tired OTL

Nighty night~!!

I'm starting something new~!! I hope this helps~ :D

Yoshino Saeki-sama~<3 from DOLLS (naked apes)

I've been a fan of DOLLS art style and interesting story line for a while it's been a on and off relationship xD xD but recently a bunch of friends with the same interest in DOLLS all grouped together and decided we should form a DOLLS cosplay group~!!! :D We've got all the members of all 3 brigades~<3 I'm so hyped we're saving this for fall D: (so far~!!) but it's really on and off ;D
anyways I just recently got my Saeki wig in ;D and did some test like usual.

OH YES!! I decided/realized that my blog is not as productive or helpful as I had hoped it to be!!  So with the new change in weather! (huzzah spring) I've decided that with each and every wig I buy or make up etc... that I used.  And post up on my blog I shall do a short personal review on it! :D
I hope this makes me more productive and helpful to those who actually go to the trouble of reading this blog<3
Anyways I'm going to start off with my Saeki wig~<3

FIRST HERE ARE SOME SHOTS OF THE WIG~

**NOTES FOR THESE PHOTOS**
I've tied up the side parts of the hair just like my character, and the bangs have been tampered with a comb over.  


BASIC INFO:
Color: Pure Black.
Length: Around 80cm long.
Wig Style: long straight, bangs were originally straight doll cut.
Description: a little thin, no layers, but the feel is nice and soft, color was good, and the consistency of the cut and make was pretty good.

Where I Bought it From:
Source: Ebay
Seller: Jcpunk store LINK (Ebay - 99.6%) 
Price at time: $15.80 CAD

MY COMMENTS ON THE WIG:
I was Disappointed, but not that surprised at how the style didn't match the picture the seller had up.  But for the price I think it was  pretty good buy!  The most saddening part about the wig was even though it was described with longer bangs in the picture, there were not comments about it having a straight doll cut for the bangs.  This was quite shocking because, for the purpose I had in mind which was Yoshino the bangs Needed to be long!  but were not llOTL.  That left me in a temporary depression.  But I get back up quickly.  and so took, gel, a comb, and hair spray, thus creating the "comb over bangs" they turned out much better than expected but if you closely examine it you would notice that something is odd T A T;;; when I get money I may re-buy another wig T A T sob!
Other than that it's easy to style feels nice, and I believe good for the price :)

 OVER ALL RATING: 6/10

 OK that's all for today
 I hope this is the start of something helpful!! :D thank you for reading and I hope I can continue to do helpful things~ :3 have a great day~!! :D

it's been a while but here's my latest obsession~<3 I've been the lonnngessttttt one piece fan and I've just recently re-fallen in love with the entire series all over again with the start of the NEW WORLD arc<3 <3 only words that could express my happiness is probably HUZZAH x 1000000000 xD
anyways in commemoration of the end of the old one piece character appearances and the new one piece character appearances I did two one piece cosplays of two different characters~<3

First off we have a long time closet fave~ Nami-san~ ^^

Nami from One piece 

This was her appearance at the start of the series it changes with the style of the anime as it continues though the evolution of the animation production. xD

Cha-Ching~

Someone say money?

Dorobou neko~

I adore the money loving strong girl she is~  definitely one of my all time fave female main characters<3  I hope to cosplay her NEW WORLD version but she wears a bikini lllOTL maybe I could pull that off in the future but not now OTL lol that or I'll cheat <,<;;; ahhaahah~~ anyways please look forward to that when the time comes!!!

Next up!!!!
from the NEW WORLD version of one piece~<3 a more of a side character who has always been a very big and weird tsundere<3

PERONA -ghost princess-

I FELL SO IN LOVE with her new version<3 I would not have guessed I would want to cosplay this version cause it's a strapless dress but OMG<3 I just could not help myself and before I knew it I bough the dress base, prepared the hat and got the wig!!! XD XD;;; I'm quite happy with how it looks so far I PRAY that the final piece is to my satisfaction there are many tricky parts with this dress I hope to over come it and win! + A + Fight-o me!!!

well than on to the wig tests<3

MY COMMENTS ON THE WIG: I LOVE IT<3 it came out how I had hoped but honestly I don't have very night hopes OTL lol I don't mean it to be as negative sounding as it came out xD xD;;;; it's nice and long~, curls are pretty~, and the thickness/thinness doesn't hinder my hat<3  It came out better than expected :) and I am satisfied.  but the price OTL....and there's a weird parting on the top, it showed in the picture they gave kinda, So I knew of it ^^ I'm just glad I wear a hat if it wasn't for that I might not have liked it as much XD;;;
