LMKittenShop Review

Hello fellow internet bloggers!  Today's review is a sponsored post by LMKittenShop on Etsy.  The owner designed two collars based on my personality.  It is safe to say that she was on point about the designs.  LMKittenShop is on the newer side of Etsy shops and is based in Canada.  So far she only makes collars of a variety of styles.  The owner is incredibly approachable when it comes to customs or questions in general.  Now that the technicalities are out of the way, lets get to the review!

The collars arrived in a bubble wrap envelope with little to no damage done to it.   Upon opening the package, there was a note within it saying that she hoped that I enjoyed the collars.  Each collar was wrapped with pink tissue paper which was a lovely touch.  I may be biased though because I'm a sucker for anything pink.

As I said before, there were two different styles of collars sent to me.  Each collar came with a matching ribbon.  The first collar I opened was a cream and pink collar with two bows in the middle.  This was to match my more girly personality.  Personally, I think that the collar is spot on with hitting that personality.  The second collar I got reminds me of t
he YouTuber Markiplier. I won't lie it is mostly because of the mustache charm.  Another factor is because of the color combination because of how he has dyed his hair.

For the quality of the collars, they're really well put together.  On the back the stitching reminds me of how KittenSightings does theirs.  I've also put these through multiple tug tests.  After all of these the collars are completely fine.  There was no tearing or any other type of concerning noises hinting at the collar tearing.  Overall these collars are amazing quality.

I give these products a 9 out of 10.  The seller is extremely easy to approach and willing to work with the customer to give them exactly what they'd like.  Make sure you all check out LMKittenShop on Etsy.

CircleLensesUSA Circle Lens Review

Hey all!  Welcome back again for another review.  This review is sponsored by http://circlelensesusa.com.  Never heard of CircleLensesUSA?  Totally understandable because they are a new company within the United States of America.  This company carries GEO lenses of deferent colors and diameters.  They also are carrying false eye lashes to add to your kawaii look!  Since they are a new company, they are currently having a grand opening sale.  This sales consists of ALL circle lenses on sale for $16.95 USD.

A cool thing I found about this company is that on their site, they have all of their certifications on display which you can find here.  Besides this, if you're from within the United States,  shipping time is a lot faster than if you ordered from other countries.  This is a given though since it is like that if you live within the same country a company is.  Now with the technicalities out of the way, time for the review!

The lenses I received were Geo Xtra Brown 2 Tone Circle Lens WTA45.  I'm not sure why they're labeled as brown when I found them under the black contact lens category.  Also when I received them they're black and grey.  This may just be a technical issue going on with the new site.  Shipping time was excellent from when they were said to be sent to when I received them.  The shipping time was 3-4 days.

Opening up the package, the lenses were wrapped in bubble wrap to protect them when being shipped.  Like other circle lenses I've gotten, they were packaged in a small glass vial.  On the lid and the sticker of the vial theres information about the contacts themselves which will be shown here:

Arrow on metal rim in middle
I've never noticed this before on this type of packaging but on the metal rim that seals the vial, there is an arrow that shows where to open the lid.  This is incredibly helpful when opening the vial.  Please be careful when opening up your contacts!  I have a video on my YouTube on how to prep your new contacts if you would like to learn how.

When finally able to wear the contacts, my eyes were bugged slightly.  This was all on my end though due to how dilated my eyes were because of lighting.  Since my eyes were dilated, I was able to see the grey coloring in the outer rim of my vision.  This went away though once by eyes became undilated. Once my eyes were adjusted to the feel of the contacts, everything was quite comfortable.  The only thing I can feel, if I'm thinking about the contacts, is the outer rim when I blink.  Again though, this is only when I think about how I'm wearing the contacts.

I've gotten compliments on how natural looking these contacts are.  They are on the darker side but that is to be expected since they're black contacts with a grey middle.  The only thing that seems to give away that I'm wearing contacts is that my pupils are enlarged.  People only seem to notice though when they're close to me and looking at my eyes.

The negatives I have to say about CircleLensesUSA is that they don't provide a contact lens case with your purchase.  So if you purchase circle lenses from CircleLensesUSA I would go out and buy a cheap contact lens case while they're being shipped.  Another thing is that the contacts do bother my eyes some after wearing them for 2 hours.  This could just be my eyes though and not the company.  Other than that, I don't have anything negative to say about these contacts!

Overall I honestly recommend CircleLensesUSA, click here for their website.  I give them a 8
out of 10.  Shipping time, product quality, and customer service was all around lovely.  You can find CircleLensesUSA social medias here:

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
Eraser WITH flash
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.

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
