PixieTails Flow Wand Review

Hey fellow internet bloggers.  This post will be reviewing a PixieTails flow wand and shop experience.  First of all, what is flow and why does it have a wand?  There are many definitions of flow, the ones that fit best I've found are: "To move or run smoothly with unbroken continuity, as in the manner characteristic of a fluid.", "To proceed steadily and easily.", "To exhibit a smooth or graceful continuity".  These are just a few I found that fit best to this kind of flow's definition.  Flow isn't just held to a wand, but can be things such as staffs, hoops, poi, and others.  You can always look up flow wanding or flow in general on YouTube to which you will find many videos of awesomeness.  For the sake of this post though we will be focusing on a flow wand.  A wand can vary in length and either comes in short string or long string.  The wand is balanced so, if done right, will appear to be standing up on it's end in mid air.  In the end though, it really is an illusion.  I'm honestly not sure how to explain the illusion so, again, I recommend looking up flow wand videos.  Now onto the review!

How I cam into possession of this flow wand is that Izabelle (the owner of PixieTails) contacted me about doing a shop trade.  I would receive a product I wanted while I made her a decoden phone case.  I gladly accepted and we started talking about what designs we would like.  For my flow wand I asked for a short string reflective pink and white swirl.  I asked her what length of wand she would suggest and said 24 inches was the best.  During the designing process, Izabelle was a sweetheart, kind, and patient with me.  She even made two flow wands with two different types of pink reflective tape for me to pick from.  On her Instagram she posted videos of her testing each wand out for me as well so I could see them in action.  
No flash
Shipping was excellent and on time.  The wand was wrapped in two separate layers of brown construction like paper.  Once unwrapped (from a previous flow wand I purchased from her), there is a business card, a sticker, and the flow wand.  This time I received a not from her thanking me for doing the shop trade.  The short string was wrapped around the wand to prevent it from tangling during the shipping process.  
Flash
The flow wand itself was exactly what I was expecting and then some.  Upon using the wand, it was a little odd to balance it but that is due to me being used to my 26-27 inch flow wand I previously purchased from PixieTails.  After getting used to the wand length, I've had so much using it.  Since it is a reflective wand, when a camera's flash is on, it will look like it has LEDs within it.  This aspect is really cool for when I make videos with it.  I love using it in the dark with the flash on because it adds to the illusion of it floating on it's own and it just looks really kick butt.  

Overall, I give PixieTails a 5 out of 5 stars.  Customer service is always on point and the product and previous product I've purchased are amazing quality.  To see the wand in action, you can watch a video here (go to 3:29).  If you have any questions, comments, or concerns leave a comment!

Barbie Luxury 3 Tones Green Circle Lenses

Hey fellow internet bloggers!  Hope you are all doing well and ready for my first review on here.  Today I will be doing a review on my Barbie Luxury 3 Tones Green Circle Lenses.  These were the second pair of contacts that I have ever purchased.  Now, lets jump into the basics of purchasing the contacts.

When purchasing the contacts, their cost was $16.90 USD.  I had a coupon that I received from my first purchase, this code took $1.69 off.  Shipping for the contacts was $5.00.  On the site, it says that shipping will take between 12 to 20 business days to arrive.  From my experience, it takes about a month for the contacts to arrive from date of purchase to arrival.  Personally, I feel like this is a decent time frame of receiving the contacts.  They're decently priced and safe to use from my experience of wearing them.

My personal experience wearing them is a bit odd since I'm still on the newer side of wearing contacts.  Once I have them in, there is barely any irritation to my eyes.  After wearing them for about an hour, I tend to forget that I have them in.  Since the contacts are technically circle lenses, my pupil does appear larger than it actually is.  There is only a slight difference though due to how large my pupils are already.  

With circle lenses
I have had people come up to me and ask if my eyes are natural the color of the contacts I'm wearing due to how real they appear from at a distance.  There have also been people that have come up to me after I took the contacts out asking if I'm wearing brown contacts (my eyes are naturally brown).  It isn't until you get up close and personal that you can tell that I'm actually wearing the Barbie Luxury 3 Tones Green Circle Lenses.

No circle lenses
To anyone wanting to start wearing colored contacts, I recommend Barbie Luxury circle lenses.  As stated in the name of the contacts I have purchased, they come in different tones.  These different tones give them a more natural look.  Personally, I think a natural look is best for beginners such as myself for first wearing contacts daily.

For any questions, comments, concerns, leave a comment.

Time to Get Started

Welcome to my blog!  I'm obviously new at this so I apologize for the rough start we will be having.    First of all, allow me to introduce myself.  I'm AsiaPearce, a 19 year old girl going to college.  I'm currently going to community college for liberal studies.  Here I'm getting my general education for cheap and then going onto university to study psychology.  I plan on getting either my Master's or Doctorates.  Once I gain this level of education, I want become a type of therapist for adolescence in mental institutions specializing in eating disorders.  When I'm way older I would like to even start my own inpatient rehabilitation center in Maine for people who are suffering from an eating disorder.


In my free time I do your typical college student stuff (besides illegal activities since I'm a resident assistant for the college I'm attending).  I also take part in theatre and modeling.  I've been in theatre for 7 years and have been modeling for almost 3 years.  I'm part of 2 modeling organizations, The Chateau - Cat Girl Manor and KittenSightings.  Besides these 2 organizations I do my own modeling with 2 photographers whenever we have time.  I do all different types of modeling such as: boudoir, pin-up, decade themed, cute and innocent, impacting, and glamour.  I would like to do horror one day as well.  My modeling style flows over to my day to day style as well.  I can go from girly to bad ass which is great in my opinion.  This different style variation will come into play with what I do with this blog.

What is this blog even for?  Well I plan on doing reviews on this blog.  I will be reviewing modeling events I do, kitten ears, and eventually things that I order off line.  I enjoy reviewing items that I receive that I either purchase or am given to review from small shops.  The problem I have though is that the only platform I really have to is Instagram and YouTube.  I don't want my whole Instagram feed and YouTube page to be dominated by reviews. This is where my rough start of a blog kicks in.  On here, I will be doing the reviews that I want to do.  If the item is something that I really want to obsess over, I will then go onto to making a video about it.

That is all for now.  Hope you all enjoy your stay here and possible stick around.  Survive until next time my fellow bloggers.

-AsiaPearce
