My Favourite Cutesy Animes~

もしもし！

Today I thought I'd write a casual post about some of my favorite cutesy animes~

When I first got into anime sometime in middle school/the beginning of high school, I only watched really serious dark action shows, but my preferences have completely switched ;u; 

Now I definitely prefer the more casual, relaxed and cute slice-of-life shows! So I thought I'd share some of my favorites in case any of you were looking for something new to watch~

1. Is the Order a Rabbit?

'Is the Order a Rabbit' is a show about high school girls who work in various cafes~ I find the art style to be really cute and all of the characters are adorable in their own unique ways ^.^ There's also lots of imagery of yummy cafe drinks and desserts which I definitely enjoy~ It's a very laid-back casual show and it's very very cute <3

2. Kiniro Mosaic

I'm currently watching this show, and I have to say, I love it so much <3 

It's about a girl from England who goes to Japan as an exchange student, and the rest of the story revolves around the school life of her and her friends. Sadly it's only twelve episodes long, but it's certainly a joy to watch <3

3. Tamako Market

'Tamako Market' is about a girl who works in a mochi shop (which has a rivalry with another mochi shop that's across the street from it). She's very scatterbrained and completely oblivious to the guy who has a crush on her (he's the son of the rival mochi shop-owner). There's also fat bird who's flying around trying to find a princess for the prince of his island, which did feel a bit random, but overall this was a very cute show <3

4. K-On!

I honestly wasn't expecting to like this show when I first started it, but it really drew me in! 
It's about high school girls who start a 'light-music club', and it turned out to be really cute and it made me smile a lot ^.^ The songs that they play are also not too bad~ 

I think that's it for the cute animes that I've watched so far! I'm sort of new to this genre, but I thought I'd feature my favorites <3
Anyways, thank you for reading!
Have you seen any of these? What are your favorite animes?

TT Black-1 Lens Review {Klenspop Sponsored}~

Hi everyone!

Happy (late) Halloween~

Today I'll be reviewing a pair of lenses kindly sent to me for review by the online store Klenspop. They have a lovely selection of lenses and I highly recommend them~

Anyway, let's get started!

The lenses I'm reviewing today are the TT Black-1 Lenses. They're currently $18 USD on the Klenspop site, and have a graphic diameter of 13.6mm (which will look quite natural on most eyes).

The stock photo~

Despite having a thick limbal ring, these look quite natural on my eyes, and just bring a nice amount of emphasis to them. Since the design isn't too colorful, they look pretty much the same in all lighting.

Window Lighting

Dim-ish Room Lighting

Camera Flash

I really like the emphasis these lenses give to my eyes, and the design is quite nice for everyday wear.

These aren't the most comfortable of my lenses however, and they dry out my eyes quite quickly. If you carry eye drops this shouldn't be much of a problem, but I don't really carry drops with me so it's not the most convenient for me. I like the design, but would only be able to wear them comfortably for a couple of hours (which is probably a good thing, because you're not supposed to wear circle lenses for a very long time).

Here are more photos of how the lenses look~ (I did try slightly more Halloween-ish makeup haha)

(and some photos of the outfit- I made the skirt myself~)

On the whole these are nice lenses, I just wouldn't wear them for a very long time.

Thank you for reading!

Have a lovely day~

StyleWe Autumn Dolly Clothing~

Hi cuties~☆

I hope you're all doing well!

A little while ago I talked about the website StyleWe, and today I thought I'd make another post showcasing some cute items they have~

Where I live, the weather doesn't really change with the seasons, but I still thought I'd show some cute items for the fall and winter.

Let's start! ☆

Pink Cotton Blend 3/4 Sleeve Midi Dress

I think this dress would look cute with a light jacket thrown over it~ It's a fairly elegant looking piece, and I really like the silhouette of it. Pink isn't really an autumnal color, but I just love everything pink hehe~

White Chiffon Long Sleeve Sweet Plain Stand Collar Tunic

This tunic-style shirt is a really unique piece that I think would be perfect for layering in a sort of cult-party-kei coordinate, or something like that. It seems to be really loose and cozy, which is what I look for in comfy autumn clothes~

Navy Blue Floral-embroidered A-line Sweet Crew Neck Tunic

Another tunic style top~ I think the embroidery is really cute on this one- I love floral embroidery on absolutely everything. This would look cute with a thick pair of colorful tights and boots maybe! I really like dresses that are this style because you can layer them with skirts and get a super cute layered look c:

Black Color-block Plain Shift Long Sleeve Mini Dress

I love love love dresses and shirts with big collars, so this dress really grabbed my attention~ The silhouette is quite simple, but the collar isn't just a plain collar so it's more interesting than your typical black and white dress. It's casual enough for every day wear, but it doesn't look too lazy.

Black Crew Neck Elegant Plain Sweater

This style of shirt seems to be really popular lately- it's quite elegant looking and would work quite well with a lot of different styles of skirt. It's a basic, versatile piece~

Wine Red Shift Bow Cape

Lastly is this super cute doll-like cape! I really love the color and the bow on the neckline- it's just so perfect for autumn and the holiday season. This is definitely a great way to doll up any outfit~

Thank you for reading! 

Which item was your favorite? And what's your favorite thing to wear in autumn?

九月二千六- September 2016 Favorites~

もしもし！

Hello everyone! I feel like it's been forever since I've done a favorites post, and although we're reasonably far into October, I thought I'd take some time to write about my September favorites~ I got a lot of the items online, so you can click the links to see them if you're interested too ^.^

Let's start!

Sailor Moon Miracle Romance Liquid Eyeliner

I've seen this eyeliner around on the internet and I've always wanted to try it, so I finally managed to get my hands on it! Aside from the gorgeous packaging, the eyeliner itself is very nice quality. It applies nicely, and you're able to create a sharp eyeliner wing since the pen nib itself is quite thin. The eyeliner comes in other 'wand' styles too in case you like some other design more,  but I'm quite fond of the cutie moon rod ^.^

Kao Essential Rich Damage Care Hair Mask

I've heard lots of good things about this mask over the years, and since I have very damaged hair, I decided to give this mask a try. I was amazed since immediately after my first time using it, my hair felt so much softer! I just leave it in for a few minutes while in the shower, but it has really nice effects. The scent is quite sweet and floral (which I generally don't like) but it doesn't really stick to your hair (I can't stand when hair products smell too much). I really recommend this if you have damaged/dry hair~

Tony Moly I'm Real Sheet Masks

I got a variety pack of these sheet masks a little while ago, and they're quite nice! They don't have any profound "wow" effects, but they do make my skin soft and they're a nice way to pamper myself~ I also like the variety, since to me the main fun factor of trying these sheet masks is the ability to try lots of different types ^.^

LUSH Death & Decay Solid Perfume

So funny story about this perfume, I went into LUSH wearing a really frilly sweet/classic lolita outfit, and they had just gotten their new perfumes in and the sales lady comes up to me and says she has just the perfume for me and shows me this one. Naturally I was surprised, given that pastel frilly outfits don't really associate with something called 'death and decay', but I was surprised by it! It's a very rich floral scent that I think is lily based, and it also seems to have notes of lily of the valley and maybe some lilac (with some notes of baby powder or something like that). I'm very particular about perfumes and generally prefer more "masculine" scents (nothing too floral or sweet), but this one was unique enough that I decided to get it :'> I got the smaller solid perfume rather than the larger perfume oil so that I could carry it around in my backpack with me~ It's nice being able to put on some yummy smelling perfume during a stressful day at school ^.^

Urban Decay Eyeshadow Compact- Sin

I have this eye shadow in a palette but I have a pitiful amount left, so I decided (begrudgingly) to finally shell out the money for this eye shadow. In my opinion, paying $19 for a single eyshadow is ridiculous, but I do use this every single day so I *guess* it makes sense. It's a very lovely shimmery champagne color that looks pretty highlighting the inner corner of the eye, or as a base colour. 

Lastly is a non-beauty item~ I've really been enjoying watching the Great British Bake-Off! I always wait really eagerly for each new episode to come out ;u; I really love baking, and so watching the episodes always gives me inspiration for what to make next~ If you like cooking as well, I really recommend it!

That's all for my September favorites! 

Have you tried any of these items before?

Thank you for reading! ^.^

Villea Pink Lens Review {Klenspop Sponsored}~

Hi everyone!

I hope you've been having a good weekend ^.^  I've ended up having 5 days off, so I'm quite happy and relaxed hehe~

Anyways, today I'll be reviewing another pair of lenses from Klenspop! As always, I highly recommend them for any of your circle lens needs c: So, let's get started!

The lenses I'm reviewing today are the Villea Pink lenses~ Last time I reviewed these in grey, and since I liked the design a lot, I decided to get them in pink as well c:

These lenses are currently $18 USD on the website. Their graphic diameter is 14.3 mm, and the shelf life is 6 months~

I was drawn to this design because of how many colors it has- it seems like it would be very dimensional on the eyes. Although the design is really pretty, it gets a bit lost on my eyes, unfortunately. I think they'd stand out more on lighter eyes ;u;

Even in direct, bright lighting, they don't look very pink, the effect is lost almost entirely in more dim light. They do make my eyes seem larger however, and it does add a warm quality to my eyes, they just don't look very pink ;u;

Aside from not being very vivid on the eyes, I do like these lenses. They're very comfortable, much like the previous lenses I tried from this series. I'd recommend these if you had lighter eyes, or if you don't actually care too much about whether the lenses are pink or not c:

And here are a couple more photos for good measure~

Anyways, thank you for reading! I hope you found this helpful <3

ありがとうございます！

Villea Grey Lens Review {Klenspop Sponsored}~

おはよう！げんきですか？

Hi everyone, I hope you are doing well~ 

I started at my new university last week, so it's been a bit hectic, but I'm only in class four days a week so that's nice ^.^ I hope that those of you in school as well aren't having an awful time- getting back into the routine of classes and all can be stressful ;~;

In any case, today I'm reviewing the Villea Grey lenses, kindly sent to me by Klenspop! I really recommend their site- they always have various sales going on, so you can sometimes get lenses under $8! 
In any case, here's a bit of information about the lenses I'll be reviewing today~

Price: $18 USD
Diameter: 14.5 mm
Graphic Diameter: 14.3 mm
Shelf Life: 6 months

I was drawn to these lenses because of the unique design- I really like how there are peaks of turquoise and yellow within the grey. I think that it makes a very unique-looking lens that actually looks somewhat natural when worn! The color isn't super bright grey on my eyes, but I do think it looks really natural and subtle on my eyes which is nice.

In bright, outdoor lighting

In my somewhat dim room

These lenses are quite evidently grey/blue in outdoor lighting, however indoors it's not all that visible. However, I find that to be pretty typical for colored lenses unless they're completely unnatural. These also aren't very enlarging- they just bring a bit of emphasis to my eyes. 
Here are some more photos~ Sorry there aren't many! 

These are also very comfortable- as soon as I put them in it was like there was nothing on my eyes at all! 
On the whole I'm very happy with these lenses- they're natural enough that I can wear them on a daily basis without having to do very extravagant makeup, which is a plus considering that I'm in school now and don't have all that much time every morning to get ready ;u;
Anyways, thank you for reading! <3 
Also, I might be starting up my YouTube again sometime soon, so keep an eye out for that! ^^
またねえ！

(I love this dress so much ;u;)
