Wind Symphony

I finally got to doing my first ever transformation video!

I wore the kimono set I made ages ago, Wind Symphony. It has been sold to a very good client-model-friend so I decided to say my farewell and make the best reminder I could! I also took the chance to feature Dolluxe, the new lash brand I have been raving about! 

I wore Harajuku Honey and Underlash B. It's my second time to wear the underlashes but they still feel as strong! I would probably be investing on these instead of Diamond Lash Princess Eye. I've worn Princess Eye before and I just could not be careful enough in handling them. XD I only wear them for special events and I usually end up feeling too tired to properly remove them so, they only last for a one time use. I am definitely sticking to Dolluxe Underlash B!

As for Harajuku Honey, my only problem it is that it tends to look shiny/velvety in bright light. I guess since the design is wispy, the lashes do reflect enough light to make them shine. I prefer the straight to the point, spiky and spaced lashes like Dolluxe's Lashing Out Loud and Diamond Lash's Angel Eye.

I could not take good enough photos to show Harajuku Honey when worn, but if you watch the video I posted above, you could see that they resemble shironuri artist, Minori's lashes! 

Wig from Gothic Lolita Wigs; shoes from Jessica Burman.

Both lashes were comfortable though and I did enjoy wearing them! I am going to be doing a gyaru transformation next as I need to part with the dress soon, too.

Anyway, what do you think of Wind Symphony? I do want to get back to making more kimono-inspired pieces but I already have a super looong list of things I want to make. XD

Dolluxe Adventures

Yesterday I blogged about the new lashes I got from Dolluxe. Today I finally gave in and tried the beauties!

I used #1 Lashing Out Loud and #8 UnderLash B. The lashes came with glue but I stuck with my Revlon Precision Lash Adhesive. I wore my Pretty Crystal Grey lenses sponsored by Pinky Paradise for this look!

I've used super long lashes before from Diamond Lash and these Dolluxe #1 Lashing Out Loud lashes remind me so much of Diamond Lash's Angel Eye. As for the lower lashes, I haven't really used Dolly Wink but just by looking at them, Dolluxe's Underlash #8 remind me so much of Dolly Wink #6.

Unlike Diamond Lash though, these lashes did not feel as frail when I had to remove them from the package. Usually I need to be extra careful removing the lower lashes (with a tweezer) because they had the tendency to get stuck to the pack and errr...fall apart. Dolluxe's weren't as flimsy and for the first time, I enjoyed putting on lower lashes! I could easily remove and reposition the lashes without fearing that some parts would get left behind. The lash band for both styles is thin and flexible but comparatively stronger compared to Diamond Lash.

I wore both lashes for about five hours today. I expected the upper lash to get in the way as they were so long but they ended up feeling comfortable! I could say the same about the lower lashes. I still felt that they were there but they weren't as heavy as Diamond Lash's Princess Eye, which I have worn before.

Overall, I had fun with my new lashes! These gave me a droopy eyes even if I didn't use that much eyeliner. These definitely would look awesome with a full gyaru look! Surprisingly, the length was not off so I managed to wear both lashes without needing to clip them. I am going to try and do my tutorial tomorrow with the other styles! :)

DOLLUXE: Preview

I recently received my Dolluxe false eyelashes! Dolluxe is the sister/baby company of Gothic Lolita Wigs and Rockstar Wigs. The lashes are designed by Charles Reger, whom I was fortunate enough to meet last Anime Matsuri 2012. The lashes are made in Vietnam but the company is based in Houston, Texas. If you would look at the designs below, you would see how Dolluxe aims at providing lashes for a variety of fashion genres - Lolita, Gyaru, and Glam, to name a few!

I am still working on my make-up tutorials where I would be featuring the lashes. For now, have a preview of all 8 styles from Dolluxe!

Even the packaging is so cute! It features the models of Gothic Lolita Wigs. On the back, you could read the instructions on using and removing the lashes.

Each pack contains 3 pairs of eyelashes and a generic eyelash glue. A 3 pack costs 25$ but these are always available in singles. Here are the actual lashes:

So pretty right! If you want to take a closer look, here are the individual styles and their names, really creative I might add:

This set is available as a .gif here, please reblog if you like! XD

So that's it for the preview! I want to get really creative and detailed when I finally shoot the make up tutorials for these lashes. Which ones are your favorite? Which ones should I review first? :D Also, don't forget to like Dolluxe's Facebook page! I am sure they would be holding several giveaways and deals so be on the look out. ;D

Garden of Eve II

Had the time to take better photos of my new dress, Garden of Eve today. I'm also fixing my store and adding this new product! Purchase here!

The fashion fabric is voile, with a polyester lining. The lace is cluny in ecru. It has two layers of skirt, a peplum and a gathered rectangle skirt. I wasn't able to take a photo of the inside but I included a built in petticoat made from soft tulle!

Also, I guess I am a little bit obsessed with peter pan collar right now. Expect my new dresses to have collars, and of course, bows!

The back is shirred. This makes it a more flexible garment in terms of size as it could be worn as size XS - M.

Aside from my usual ruffles, I added pintucks on the skirt and sleeves!

I will try to find time to model it. Maybe when I get the bag that I ordered. :) For now, here's another flash sale from Romwe!
