Little Lycan Baby Kitten Ear Review

Hey fellow internet bloggers and welcome back to another review.  First things first though, I have a question for you all.  Would you like two reviews a month or no?  If I were to do two reviews a month, would you like one at the beginning and one in the middle of the month?  I want to know what you guys would like!  Thats all I need from you.  Now to the review!

Unopened package
I've been following Little Lycan on Instagram for awhile now (@little.lycan).  She makes beautiful realistic looking ears for your cosplay or inner pet needs.  I've had my eye on her baby kitty ears on a headband for awhile and about three weeks ago I caved and ordered a pair from her website.  One pair of her baby kitten ears on a headband are $15 USD.  For realistic ears that look high quality, I thought this was quite the bargain.  Even shipping was more than reasonable for $2.54 USD within the United States.  After shipping the ears cost $17.54 USD which, compared to other realistic ear shops, is a steal.  Shipping on them was fabulous.  I purchased the ears March 4th and they were shipped out March 8th.  These ears were made to order and it only took 4 days for them to be made.
 Which, in my opinion, is excellent time.  Once shipped, I was able to track where the ears were.  On March 11th my ears had arrived.

Once I was able to get my package, there was no damage to the envelope.  After opening the package, you could tell that the shop owner took the time and are into packaging the ears.  The ears are wrapped in a tissue paper which then have a ribbon tied around them.  Within the ribbon is a little bag with a hand written note from Little Lycan herself, tiny eraser, and a piece of candy.  When shipped the ears arrive flat which you then have to bend yourself to the desired shape you would like.  As you bend the ears, it is best to take it slow just so you don't accidentally damage the ears.  How I shaped my ears was bending the outer corners inwards to get a
classic feline shape.

Flatted ears
I wore these ears for two days straight and had no problems with them.  The ears are small enough to be semi-discrete but still realistic looking.  A few people came up to me wondering if the ears were just my hair styled a certain way or actual ears.  Once I told them they were ears, they were quite impressed with the quality and appearance of the ears.  When wearing ears that are on headbands for an extensive time period they can bother one's head.  With these ears though, that was not the case.  I have a sensitive head so I was expecting to have to take the ears off after two hours or so.  The ears proved me wrong though and I was able to wear them for up to ten hours on the first day.
Package contents

Overall, the quality of Little Lycan's shop is amazing.  I give her 10 out of 10 for her site layout, customer service, shipping time, and product quality.  It is safe to say that I will be ordering another set of ears from her.  To find her shop you can click here and find her Instagram at @little.lycan.

Survive until next time my fellow internet bloggers.

LimeCrime Unicorn Lipstick Eraser Review

Hey all and welcome back to another review!  Today's review is obviously a review for LimeCrime's Unicorn lipstick in the shade Eraser.  The Unicorn lipsticks are being discontinued though and are currently $8 USD on the LimeCrime website.  I've heard many mixed reviews of LimeCrime and their background.  I will be doing the opposite of this and just reviewing the product as it is.  The review will be as if the company is new to me.  Let's get started!

When purchasing this lipstick, the experience was simple and easy.  There was no problem with ordering the product.  The main reason why I purchased this was because of the Unicorn Lipstick being discontinued.  Once the lipstick was ordered it took about a week or two for it to arrive.  I was a bit disappointed with how long it did take to ship.  It could have taken as long as it did due to the high number of products they must have been shipping out.

LimeCrime's swatch of Eraser
Upon arrival, the product came in a little box with no damage done to it.  As you open the box you're greeted with pink tissue paper and the LimeCrime logo on the inside of the box.  Pushing aside the tissue paper, I was able to find my lipstick.  The lipstick box itself was absolutely adorable.  Then the packaging of the lipstick itself was wicked cute.  There was no factory like smell coming off of any of the packaging which was a pleasant surprise.

Eraser with NO flash
The product itself is an amazing vivid color.  It is an amazing coral nude which goes amazing with my pale completion.  I don't know about you guys but I also smell my lipsticks so that is what I did with Eraser.  The smell reminds me of MAC lipsticks which smells like frosting and cake batter.  Again this was a pleasant surprise to me because lipsticks can have not so pleasant smells to them.  Though it smells delicious, I wouldn't recommend tasting it.  If you get some of the lipstick on your teeth, don't lick your teeth to clean them.  What I do is either take a cotton swab or a tissue to wipe the lipstick off my teeth.

When applied to the lips, make sure to use lip balm.  I found that this lipstick can dry out your lips which no one likes.  The effect wasn't the same as advertised on LimeCrime's site or other social medias.  On their swatch pictures of Eraser, it appears that Eraser has a moisturizing  effect which allows the lipstick to have some shine.  For me, this wasn't the case and it actually

had an almost matte finish.  Another thing I found with this lipstick is that it stains the outer edges of your lips making them look chapped.  Really all what I do is reapply it to make it not appear this way.  I will say that it takes awhile for it to actually wear of which is nice.

Overall I rate this product a 7.5 out of 10.  The main reasons why I don't rate it any higher is due to the misleading swatches LimeCrime has of the product.  Also because of the outer ring it leaves on the lips after awhile.

So that is it for this blog post!  If you guys have any questions, comments, or concerns leave me a comment.

Survive until next time my fellow internet bloggers.
