FOTD - Punky Gyaru mode ON!

This Saturday, for the first time ever, I wore a full-on Gyaru makeup look (a variation of my second tutorial) out into the street ever. It was a huge success, my friends all loved it. :D

The wig is from the Two Tone Short Bob in Milk Tea and Blonde from Gothic Lolita Wigs. I bought it for $35 and it is worth every penny; the fiber is so soft and realistic, and the design is edgy without being too weird. 

Full-on Gyaru fashion is not really my style; I went with a punk-inspired red outfit to go with my makeup instead. And yes, I am 4'11" and have a huge head, so I look like a doll. XD

Circle Lenses Review - i.Fairy Casper Green

Hey everyone, long time no real post! :p I'm back to review this gorgeous pair of circle lenses, i.Fairy Casper Green, sponsored by apple of your eyes. Have you ever seen such interesting design in circle lenses?

The i.Fairy Casper series are multi-color lenses with intricate yet realistic pattern and stunning colors. I chose Green because it is the coolest one out of the bunch. To be honest I don't think they look "green" to me but the ring of green seems to be the biggest among the black, violet and yellow smaller rings.

The lens bottle noted that the lenses are 16.2mm, and I believe it. These lenses are enormous! I had a wee bit of trouble putting them in actually.

I decided to compare the Casper Green to two pairs of intense lenses in my collection. First up are the EOS Misty Green. The Casper are a bit bigger but has a thinner black outer ring.

Compared to Fynale Y17 Blue, the Casper Greens have better depth while the Y17 are more flat.

Here are all the lenses worn in this review. Clockwise from the top: Casper Green right side up, Misty Green, Casper Green upside down, Y17 Blue.

FINAL VERDICT:
Design: 10/10 - Such a cool design, very reptile and alien but in an awesome way
Enlargement: 10/10 - LARGE :D
Comfort: 9/10 - A bit hard to put in but not any thicker than my other lenses
TOTAL: 9.5/10 - Damn I love these, but wearing them normally probably would freak people out. :p

Thank you apple of your eyes for the lenses!
