Pinky Paradise Venus Eye Review!

So this isn't my first time working with Pinky Paradise of course. I've worked with them quite a few times in the past. I've even tried out a different pair of red contacts from them before! (these ones) I've used them for Kaworu, Rei, Marshall Lee, etc. But as you probably know, these contacts have an expiration date and it's not safe to use them for more than a year! Mine have just expired and I was in need of a new pair, and thought, let's try something new!  So today I'm going to be reviewing these.

Venus Eye Bright Red

and here's the info listed with it

and here's mine, just out of the bottle! 

This cute case came with it too! It's one of my favourite things about the company. In my past experiences buying lenses I had to buy cases separately and it was a huge pain.

and here they are in:

I really like the more natural look they have. My other red contacts were much brighter red, which is good for some looks, but these suit what I wanted really well. To be honest, I really like both and it's hard to compare them. It really depends on what you're looking for. Luckily Pinky Paradise has a large selection of colours and you can find the right pair for you! All the lenses I've tried from here are very comfortable! And they are able to meet my prescription needs for most of the designs as well - the crazy contacts don't always come in prescription but all of the circle lenses I've looked at do!

CosplaySky Homura Akemi Costume Review

it's been a while since i posted a review here. i have quite a few to get to an i'm gonna start with my review of cosplaysky!

(review of this necklace/ring set will be up soon! you can use my code "criedwolves" at spreepicky for a discount too!)

so my sponsorship with them entailed one custom tailored cosplay. i ha a hard time choosing one because there were SO MANY great cosplays available! i ended up choosing a puella magi madoka magica one. the homura akemi magical girl outfit, to be specific. it was between her and hope from final fantasy at the end, but i've wanted to cosplay homura (my wife) for a long time now. i'll do a final fantasy character one day though, i promise!

anyways i sent my measurements and they told me it would take about a month to sew and mail to me. it ended up arriving faster than i expected though!

when i first tried it on it ended up being a little bit big on me. i'm pretty sure it's because i sent them my old measurements and i'd lost a bit of weight since then. but i was happy that it was big rather than small because at least this way i can take it in a bit! i still plan to lose a bit more weight and tone up so once i do i'm going to have it fitted perfectly, but until then it's wearable as is!

so right away i could tell it was nice quality. the black trim were a leathery material and the fabric felt good! there were several zippers on it to help get into easier and to make sure it's fitted well once on. one critique i might have is that the colours aren't 100% canon. the skirt and lower collar are a purple-grey when in canon they're a less saturated colour. also the bows are a little bit more blue than they should be. but i didn't really tell until i compared it to a ref pic of her. it really doesn't make a huge difference and it still looks really good in my opinion. so it's fine unless you're one of those people who are SUPER picky about colours. but seeing as though most homura cosplayers don't use grey wigs like her hair is in canon, i doubt it's a huge issue.

so to sum this all up, my first experience with cosplaysky was great and i would definitely recommend them! personally, i'm the kind of cosplayer who focuses mostly on wigs and though i do occasionally sew my own cosplays, i do use some made by costume sellers like this and have in the past bought some from other cosplayers. either way cosplay is about having fun and if you're someone who isn't overly talented at sewing or doesn't own a machine, this is a great way to do it. so check out cosplaysky!
