Uniqso- Beuberry Vivid Red Circle Lenses!

Hey everyone! Today I have a lens review from the wonderful Uniqso!! They are always a pleasure to work with, and this review will be on Bueberry Vivid Red lenses!

{Uniqso}

[Bueverry Vivid Red Lenses]

If you decide to purchase these lenses, or anything at all on Uniqso, be sure to enter my coupon code "spectre" for 10% off!

These lenses took about 3 weeks to arrive to my house, which is typical for most lens deliveries unless you request a more expensive shipping option, but I don't usually mind waiting! I have worn Bueberry brand lenses before, and they have always been just fine, so I wasn't worried at all about these lenses.

This is how the lens is featured on the site:

Although I am familiar with the Bueberry brand, I have never seen these lenses on any site besides Uniqso! So i took that as an opportunity to try them out. Initially, because of the pink, I thought they would make good contacts for my Greed cosplay (FMA:B), but unfortunately the pink is a bit duller in person and also neutralized by my natural eye color.

(This was the mail package, but I got excited and ripped it open before realizing it was this specific package ene)

As always you receive a cute box and a free lens case.

They are a little less intense looking than the featured photo, although they still look unique, even in comparison with the dozens of lenses that I have haha.

Here are the lenses in comparison to my natural eye color, and then only one lens in as well.

They appear as a sort of.....casual red? Haha. I do like them, as they are a pinky red, and my other red lenses are very orange-red. The only complaint I have about the lenses themselves is the very blatant (and even outlined?) "keyhole". My natural eye color is super accentuated and its a unique effect, I suppose, but I prefer a softer blend.

Appearence: ☆☆☆☆

Comfort: ☆☆☆☆☆

Quality: ☆☆☆☆☆

I wore these all day ling at the salon with no discomfort of abnormal dryness at all!

I think these will end up being a really great and interesting lens for casual wear and I cant wait to get more use out of them! I think Uniqso has got some great lenses and wigs to offer and you should totally check them out. They have hundreds of crazy lenses for cosplay and Halloween, as well as casual lenses!! Not only that, but they have a bunch of really great wigs to choose from as well, from cosplay wigs to Lolita wigs and more. Their prices are lower than some of the other lens and wig suppliers and y'all should totally take a look!

As always, remember to use the coupon code "spectre" for 10% off of your Uniqso purchase!

Thank you so so much Uniqso for sponsoring this review! It's always a pleasure!

Septum Jewelry Review~

Andyschains Septum Jewelry- Silver beaded chain in wrap style!

I have a review (a bit over-due) on Andyschains at Etsy! The shop owner was really sweet and eager to work with me, so I'm excited to finally be getting this out to them and you guys. I've gotten nothing but compliments after wearing this septum piece!

{Beaded Wrap Style Ring}

This is how the shop advertises the piece!

This specific "wrap style" does also come in gold! My septum in at a 14g, but this ring is also available in 16g.

This is the gold one:

As soon as I received the ring in the mail, I tried in on. (Out of my excitement, I forgot to photograph the packaging, but it was neatly packaged and sent within a small baggy like most body jewelry.)

I was asked upon my order placement what my septum was stretched at, and what my septum diameter was. They are kind enough to include photos on their listings of how to determine that measurement. This knowledge insures that the base ring can fit inside of your nose, and that the wrap is snug and properly fitted!

This is the ring alone:

Although instructions on how to put the ring in are listed on the shop, I took photos at each step of putting the ring in:

This is directly after sliding the ring through. The chain should be curved so that you can easily attach the ends and screw the ball on the other side, as pictured next.

This is what it looks like when Everything is screwed in. Sometimes I leave it like this to sleep becasue it can be sort of funny feeling to have something inside of your nose constantly.

Lastly just flip the horseshoe up inside of your nose and it should look like this!

This jewelry piece is so pretty and I really love it in contrast with some of my edgier pieces (Bone horseshoe etc.) Its very elegant and more refined looking, and more people compliment me with this one in.

Thank you so much Andyschains for sponsoring this review! I could not be happier with the piece!!

Uniqso Review- Makishima Yusuke Cosplay Wig!

[Uniqso]

Hey guys! This is my second review for Uniqso, and I'm really excited about it. This time they sponsored me a WIG and its so amazing, I cant wait to rave about it to y'all. This is my first wig review, but I;m just going to treat it the same as any other review!

This is how the wig is advertised!

Its pictured to be very lush and thick, which is very true to the actual wig!

This is the packaging!

This is the wig right out of the packaging without any styling or anything.

I was pleased to find that it didn't tangle nearly as bad as I expected! I really love this wig a whole lot! Its very thick and the fiber quality is very nice, I am a religious ARDA wig buyer, but sometimes you need specific character wigs, and why weft together several expensive wigs and wefts when you can buy a quality wig for the character like this?

That said, I will note that the color of this wig is a liiiiittle off. The wig is a little more blue toned than the official concept art for Makishima, and I think that might be mostly due to the actual BLUE wefts sewn in. His hair canonically doesn't contain any blue at all, but i believe that perhaps the purpose of that in the wig is to create dimension? If you are a perfectionist this might not be for you, but otherwise its wonderful.

The red streaks are also slightly more orange than in canon, Here is an official photo for reference:

Personally, maybe because I don't ever plan on doing a full Maki cosplay, am not too bothered by the color difference, but that's just me, and I probably would be in another case!

Even though it's technically inaccurate, the blue is very pretty and does create more depth in the wig.

This wig is VERY voluminous and thick, and there are no visible wefts or anything when wearing it, even in the crown! The fibers are soft and don't tangle AS MUCH as a typical wig this length. They do tangle still, just like any wig or hair in general, and all tangles are easily combed out with a wide-toothed comb!

The fibers are heat resistant and the curls can be set in as many times as necessary if they end up getting combed or worn out! This wig is made to curl as well, so it will style that way much easier.

I just the bang in the middle for Maki and pushed a few pieces behind my ears, and this is what I ended up with!

I think it's really nice! Its a longer wig, so naturally it's more difficult to work with, but overall I think its really great! I think Uniqso has got some great wigs to offer and you should totally check them out. They have hundreds of crazy lenses for cosplay and Halloween, as well as casual lenses!! Not only that, but they have a bunch of really great wigs to choose from as well, from cosplay wigs to Lolita wigs and more. Their prices are lower than some of the other lens and wig suppliers and y'all should totally take a look!
