Daily Style: Maids Dress & Circle Lens Review

I was very excited to win a competition on facebook where I won a pair of coloured circle lenses of my choice! When they arrived, I wanted to do an outfit test straight away!

These are my first coloured lenses I have tried, I have tried normal contact lenses but I didn't like them, my eyes would blur and sting. So I thought there would be no point in me buying some coloured lenses. But since I won some in a competition, it is the perfect opportunity for me to test them out! 

Let's start with some of the usual outfit photos. I have on my new yellow maids outfit, which I had to sew panels into the side to make it larger like the blue one I previously wrote about this year on here. 

Outfit:

Dress: Yellow Japanese style maids dress I bought second hand. As usual it was way too small so I have sewn in two white panels down the sides of the dress to make it larger! Works a charm. This dress is super cute, I love the lace and white detail on the front. I really love these maids dresses they are just so adorable, although I am not sure if I can really wear them very much :( 

Wigs: Blue wig with ponytails from eBay. 

Socks: eBay 

Shoes: Second hand rocking horse shoes. 

Lenses: these lenses are from Beautifeye, a UK based circle lens webstore. 

Now let's get into some detail about the lenses. 

I really didn't know what colour scheme to go for, but I quite like the grey looking ones. I have seen a lot of people using the dark, extra large ones to get that "big eyed" look, but I have read that the larger they are the more uncomfortable they can be. So I decided to go for some normal sized ones, in grey called Grey Glamour by ColourVUE.

Here is a close up comparison of my eyes:

I didn't really know what the grey colour would look like over my light blue eyes, but they kind of have a brown tone in the middle of the lenses, which is quite interesting and pretty! I guess with darker eyes they make the dark colour more grey, like in the photo on the item link here.

I was surprised at how quickly I managed to put the lenses in as well! They are super soft and easy to wear, considering my throw away contact lenses I tried before would make my eyes blur and sting. These didn't hurt my eyes at all, although there is a strange blurring and darkness around the edges of my pupils, due to the dark lenses. Luckily I read about that in advanced and it is totally normal. 

The lenses came in their separate cases and I was also supplied with a lens case and lens cleaning solution. After I wore them, I filled the case with the solution and put the corresponding lens into the corresponding left or right lens case! 

I am really interested in trying to wear these more, but I will do it slowly to get my eyes used to them!

One thing i noticed though, with the flash on the camera you could kind of see my own blue eye colour around the middle of the lenses. As seen above, the first 3 are without flash but the last has the flash on. 

Overall, I would like to try more colours of lenses. I think the darker ones might work for me since my eyes are naturally light. I can't wait to try more! (when i eventually get a job to buy things -___-)

Thanks for reading! Och God Jul! Merry Christmas, here in Sweden we celebrate today on the 24th.

Daily Style: Maid Dress

Another maid outfit test! I wanted to try it with my new wig, i really like the wig with the dress, but i also wanted to try with my new black and white shoes, which i don't think work so well. I also will need a matching maid headband. I have now sewn a white one which would work with this wig.

I like the cat ears but i am not sure if i will be a neko maid. 

This was my original plan for my maid character, with this wig. I didn't have a maid headband to match for the photos so I have just put in a cute pony clip. But I will use a white maid headband when I wear this outfit.

I still can't decide which wig I like best for this! I guess it depends if i will want short or long hair. 

This maid dress was bought on eBay from China and was so tiny i couldn't do it up at the front, so I added white panels down both sides of the dress, to give it the extra inches needed. It worked out really well! I just started cutting at it and pinning white fabric in, i really didn't know what i was doing haha But I am so pleased because the dress itself is really cute!

Outfits: 

Dress: From eBay from this seller, but if you had read my older posts you will know that it didn't arrive in time for what i wanted it for, it took a month and a half, so I thought it was lost and i got a refund but then it showed up a week after that! It did cost £10.12 plus £5.95 postage which after looking around for a dress was a very good price! The dress itself is very lovely, and has a great shape. It is just very small, yes it does say the measurements on the listing but i had hoped that it might stretch, which it does not! The arms were also very tight, so I continued my white paneling up and under the arms too.

Stock photo: 

Here you can see the white panel that i added, i think it looks fine! You wouldn't even notice that it was not supposed to be there.

Petticoat: From eBay from this seller, I won it for £3.74! It is a nice petticoat, maybe not as full as others but you can keep playing with it and pull it out to get it shape. I might even use two together,  a soft one and this net one, if i buy another one sometime.

Daily Style: Hell Bunny Dress

Today i thought i had my first day back to swedish class, i turned up and no one was there. Apparently it is on wednesday. *face palm* I also had a group of people who also go there, who were obviously talking about me in their langauge and laughing, even pointed at one point! Yay, i feel so comfortable about going there...

Anyway... I went to NärCon to be a Maid of Sakura Garden, it was a disaster. The convention didn't order any food or drink for us to sell! The maid cafe put in their order but we just didn't get anything, not even a till or a microwave. I had to leave early on thursday because i got a migraine from the extreme heat. And i couldn't sleep there in the sleeping hall -__-
I am disappointed that i didn't get to be a maid, but i hope to have another chance at another convention in the future. My dress still hasn't arrived anyway, so i wasn't happy with my outfit in the end so maybe it was for the best. I can show you what i ordered down below. 

Here is today's daily style;

How do you like my Batman plug? I have a Ghostbusters one in the other ear.

Outfit:

Dress: Hell Bunny unicorn dress, i think i picked this up on eBay for cheap. I love this dress it is so comfortable and easy to wear. It also has a really good shape for a simple dress with only having an elastic back. 

Socks: White ankle socks with frills from Primark, although they do not stay up with these shoes!

Shoes: My pink platform trainers, although i left them in the car now after i had to change them to drive in my flat shoes.

Bows: Some purple hair clips i got from eBay

The maid dress i ordered was supposed to look like this:

It still hasn't arrived, but i received a refund today at least. It was from eBay, of course.
So before the convention I had to go out and buy fabric to make an apron and wear it with the best dress i had at the time.

Here are some shots i took as i was sewing the apron. I am not very good at sewing so i was really pleased with the outcome of this apron! I just looked up some different tutorials online and then pretty much winged it, which is what i tend to do actually >.> Oh, and my mini sewing machine broke so my fingers hurt SO bad from hand sewing for hours on end.

I paired it with my blue Hell Bunny dress, but it wasn't quite right. I also put on a white shirt under because the dress had no straps, which wasn't right either. I wore my petticoat i bought for the dress that didn't arrive which was cute, though. If my dress ever arrives i want to try it on with everything I planned to wear to see how it looks.
