FAIRY Princess Violet Lenses from Pinkicon


Pinkicon recently contacted me asking if I'd like to try out some contacts to review and of course I said yes! I'd actually never heard of the company before, but after looking it up and seeing that it seemed pretty reliable, I was very excited to be working with them. I gave them my prescription and they handled the rest.


In the package I found 2 boxes of lenses, some pamplets and some cute business cards and instructions and such. There were pictures of lots of different lenses they offer as well as false lashes they sell. I personally enjoyed being able to look through these little booklets and seeing what sorts of lenses they carry. I'm always looking out for what style I want to try next so this was a nice addition.



What they sent me was 10 pairs of purple 1day lenses. I used to use daily ones when I first started using contacts a few years ago. I always thought it was more hygienic and safe than year long ones, of even monthly ones, though I'll use any.


The boxes were super cute. The brand I got was FAIRY, one I've never tried before. I have used purple lenses before though, and I do like having something to compare to.


As you can see they're not in the little bottles like I'm sure a lot of my fellow cosplayers are used to. This is the packaging regular prescription lenses come in.


On the left I have one lens in, no makeup. On the right, I have both in with my makeup on (I skipped falsies and mascara because I'm lazy oops)


I really like how these show up on my eyes! They're not so crazy bright purple like my other pair so they seem much more natural and would be wearable for casual day-to-day looks. They're also super comfortable, which would be partially thanks so the short term wear. After one day you can just toss them and start fresh and clean with the next!

Choies Black Eye Graffiti Print Hoodie Review

Another review from Choies!!!! Extra spooky just for October. I really didn't have much Halloween worthy clothing before I chose this beautifully gross eyeball sweater.





Nicely packaged in an extra zip locked bag as always! I can always rely on the product arriving in perfect condition when I receive items from Choies. When I  first took it out of the package it was so soft, and even softer on the inside! (it's actually been a while since I received the item oops hehe and it's been through the wash twice I believe, and it's still just as soft as when I opened it!) I was also very well sewn. No fraying seam, most of them were hidden or finished, and just an overall feel of quality.


The hood was a good size as well. Not too small but not so big that it sits funny. Just how I like it.


I wore this sweater as Rei Ayanami for the review because or her injured eye when she first appears onscreen. Not to mention all the weird body horror that goes on later....... BUT ANYWAYS, it looked adorable on - or as adorable as a cool nasty eye can be.



This is definitely one of my favourite items I've reviewed so far. It exceptionally soft and very nice quality, and it's also very unique. I've never seen a sweater quite like this before. I love the bright colours and the cool arm spike things that give the sweater a quirky, street fashion feel. I highly recommend this sweater (except at the same time I almost don't want to because I want to be the only one who has it.... hehe) and if the other sweaters are anything like this, I'd recommend those too. Fortunately, I have another sponsored sweater from Choies on the way right now, so I'll be able to tell you whether the quality is good in general or if this item was a rare gem!
Catch you next time! ;)
