Review - part 1 - INKED BARBIE COSMETICS

Get ready for a sparkle of pure glamour!!! That's right, I'm finally doing a review on Inked Barbie Cosmetics, something I've been waiting to do for a long time! Now it's finally here! :) 

www.candyrockcouture.com

Inked Barbie is a brand new vegan cosmetics line created by Candy Rock Coutoure and will be available very very SOON so get ready!! I'm going to give you an exclusive look into the world of this glittery goodness so you can see for yourself why I'm so excited about this! Let's go!

First, have a look at this collage I made of the eyeshadows and lashes I used to create my first look! 

At the top left corner you can see the packaging and the Inked Barbie logo which I adore. In those adorable tiny boxes I received a pair of creamy eyeshadows/eyebrow paint and glitter. 

 

The pretty blue eyeshadow tone is called SKY CANDY and the pink one is XOXO. As I mentioned before, they can be used both as eyeshadows and eyebrow paint. The best thing about them is that you can achieve very different looks. You can make them very soft by applying them with your fingers or very vibrant if you decide to tap them with a brush. I personally think it's very hard to find an eyeshadow which will give me a "wet" look and will stay vibrant for quite some time. This is why I think you can create brilliant mermaid looks with these eyeshadows! As you can see in the picture, I decided to combine them to be vibrant and restrained myself from too much blending because I wanted the edges to be clear and sharp. At the same time, I played with softer versions of the pink on the bottom eyelid.

Now let's talk glitter!! GlamDoll Glitter comes in two shades in my pictures: BI-POLAR BARBIE (pruple/pink tones) and KAWAII MERMAID (blue tones)! You can use them in whichever combination you want. If you use them with an eyeshadow of similar color, you can expect the color to explode and shine with every blink! It's even more exciting to use them with different colors because amazing things happen :3 :3 :3 Here I matched the colors to see what would happen and omg, suddently my "mermaid wet look" transformed into a "rock n roll badass candy mermaid look" in a second :D 

KAPOW!!!!

And of course, I can't go without mentioning those rockin' eyelashes!! Inked Barbie has a falsies line called Dream Doll Lashes which come in various shapes, colors and sizes! For this part of my review I want to show you two pairs: TOKYO-POPSTAR (in the first collage) and BARBIE DOLLICIOUS (second collage). They are comfy and glamourous at the same time and that's why I can easily wear them for hours. I want to also note that sometimes big lashes are tough to trim and shape perfectly and it takes time for their shape to suit your eyes however I'm happy to say it happened rather quickly with these, despite their size :) TOKYO-POPSTAR is my new favorite pair for cosplay while the BARBIE DOLLICIOUS pair is perfect for a night out with friends and badass lolita styles n_n Meow!!

In the second part of my review which is soon to come, I'll show you some other combinations and styles I've made by wearing different products from the line :)

Inked Barbie is everything I've hoped for and I wish you will enjoy it as much as I did. Please visit the links I'll list below if you want to know more about the fashion wizard that is behind the Inked Barbie line and many more :) :) I hope you enjoyed my review! ❤️

Lots of hugs and kisses,

Nika

Ootd! Rock chic and ulzzang inspired look!

Hello my fellow kawaiiers! :D For today's ootd I'll be presenting something a little bit different. As you might have already noticed, I love colorful clothes and accessories! However there are days when I really love to spice it up and go with a more 'rock-chic' look, like I did today. There are definitely steps I take to make sure the whole outfit is fierce but also cute because cuteness is imperative! ❤️❤️❤️ I present you with my outfit of the day: 

One of the things I've realized over the years is that for me, a short black leather jacket is a must have. It goes along well with almost every piece of clothing you could choose! Even if I'm in a crazy hurry, I know that grabbing this jacket will definitely spice up even the most monotone of looks. That's what I went with here also. The jacket is short and classic, very simple. Underneath, I went with a dark blue long-sleeved shirt with flowers on it. What I like most about it is the deep blue color filled with a flower patter which is a mixture of very subtle reds, greens and yellows. On the bottom, I went with dark blue skinny jeans (I'm obsessed with skinny jeans x))! I'm sorry that the lighting is not flattering for the shoes but you can see that I chose black boots. They have a high platform which gives me more height (it's always a good thing since I'm only 5.2ft/162cm short xP)! On top of everything, I put a kawaii grey hat I got a loooong time ago and was lost deep in my closet until very recently when I decided to dig up a couple of long lost babies like this one :). This wig is a very big part of this look. It's hard to explain the color since it changes so much under different lighting but I would have to say it's a mixture of pastel purples. I also must say it's one of my favorites and I adore how it adds to the overall style. ❤️❤️

Let's take a closer look at the accessories!!

On the left I wanted to bring attention to this adorable but at the same time pure rock'n'roll bracelet. It's black and silver with silver gem buttons added to its center! On the right you can see my necklace which was a birthday gift from my mom many years ago though I still wear it all the time! It's a wooden creepy cute doll with giant eyes and tiny little hands and legs. Freakin' kawaii xo xo xo xo!!❤️❤️❤️

Here's another look of the overall oot:

As always, I hope you had fun reading my post and enjoyed today's outfit!! 

Lots of love and kisses,

Nika

Review: Geo Princess Mimi Sesame Gray (Bambi series) !!

Hi everyone n_n ! Today I'll be reviewing a pair of circlelenses called Geo Princess Mimi Sesame Gray from Bambi series :) I got them almost a year ago from   http://www.pinkyparadise.com/?Click= 142459 ! Perfect for cosplay, lolita or just everyday kawaii styling of your choice. They are very big and the color really pops up which means they're going to be very noticable and will draw attention (which is absolutely a positive trait in the world of lenses, in my opinion :)). Let's just get right to it! 

This is the kawaii animal lense case I got with the lenses :3 I'm not 100% sure but I think it's two yellow hippos!! How cute is that! On the right you can take a look at the lenses inside the case. They look like a pair of crazy eyes! 0_0 n_n let's se how they look when put to good use!

This time I added a picture in which you'll also be able to see how the lense looks when compared to the natural eye. My eyes are naturally dark brown as shown in the first picture. As you can immediatelly tell, the lenses make a huge difference in size and their color does not fade away or change (a very important fact for us dark eyed princesses and princes :3). They have a very large black ring on the edge that just doubles the size effect but at the same time leaves enough space for the gray color and pattern to show. I find this particular pattern fascinating and unique. The center is faintly brown colored and that's why the transition from brown eyes is gentle and elegant. The middle part is very grainy gray and black stripes that come out of the outer edge make the pattern even fuller and more expressive. However, you may notice that when it comes to darker settings and dimmer lights (the right eye is covered in shadow just a tiny bit) the color turns darker and sometimes when I wear these lenses at night or dim house lights, they seem very dark gray when observed from a distance. In any case, light or dark, the pattern is just simply awesome. I will reorder this pair as soon as their time for disposal comes. I personally use them mostly for cosplays in which I'm not exactly sure what the right eye color should be for the specific character because they're neutral, huge and noticable! What I didn't expect when buying this pair is that they would be so comfortable. I never made it through 6 hours of wearing my other models. Even though most of the other models are comfortable too, I don't even notice these beauties which is surprising especially because they're so big!

Here you can take a look at them from different perspectives and combined with different makeup styles! Neko cosplay on the left compared to a sweet lolita on the right!

Here's the original picture of the lenses found on   http://www.pinkyparadise.com/?Click= 142459 

This model seems to be very popular (comes in different colors as well) and I can see why. Definitely a worthy purchase! :3 :3
