Review: Matlens Circle Lenses (Nine big eyes WAN-A48 & Extra Bella WAN-A8X)

Hello my dearest readers,

today I have another review for you. My convention season 2016 is about to start in a few weeks and I needed new circle lenses for my cosplays. I ordered them at Matlens.de, a online shop for all kinds of colorful lenses. (I made some good experiences with this shop before, so it was time for a review!)

First of all, I wanted a new pair of blue, green and red lenses. Since I'm nearsighted I need lenses with dioptres (-2,50 on my right eye & -2,00 on my left eye). Matlens has a bigger selection for lenses without dioptres, but I also found some. Prices are always for one lense, because you can order two lenses with different dioptres each.
I ordered Extra Bella WAN-A8X blue, Extra Bella WAN-A8X green and Nine big eyes WAN-A48 red.

Order date: 01.03.2016
Receivement: 02.03.2016
Shipping time: 1 working day
Shipping via: DHL
Payment: Paypal

User surface of the site and selection of lenses: 4,5/5
The site itself is constructed user friendly. The search options are very helpful and it's easy to find lenses for your need. The overall selection is great! They have lots of different lenses, like circle lenses or crazy lenses. But as I said before, the selection for people who need dioptres is smaller - so I subtract a 0,5 points. 
Contact: 5/5
I never had questions about the lenses, so I never talked to the shop operators. But the offer many kinds of contact possibilities. The confirmations are sent quickly and they also inform you in a very detailed way about the shipping.
Delivery/Shipping: 5/5
I can't say something about international shipping, but shipping in Germany is very fast (1-3 days)!

And now pictures and reviews about the different lenses:

The lenses arrived with three bottles of solution and three lense cases.

Here are the three pairs in their packages:

left Nine big eyes red; middle Extra Bella green and right Extra Bella blue.

Nine big eyes WAN-A48 (red)

Design: 3/5

Color: 4/5

Enlargement: 5/5

Comfort: 5/5

Naturalness: 2/5

There arent't lots of red circle lenses on Matlens when you need dioptres and the other pairs were more pinkish red, so I decided to get these. All in all I like them, but as you can see, they don't blend well with my natural eye color, because of the inner dark circle on the lenses and my light eyes. Of course they don't look natural, but the don't have to, because I need them for cosplay.

Extra Bella WAN-A8X green

Design: 5/5

Color: 4/5

Enlargement: 5/5

Comfort: 5/5

Naturalness: 3/5

I wanted green lenses without a dark frame on the outer circle and so I ordered these and all in all I really like them. The blend with my natural eye color, for my taste the color could be more vibrant, but I'm still happy with the way they look like.

Extra Bella WAN-A8X blue

Design: 5/5

Color: 5/5

Enlargement: 5/5

Comfort: 5/5

Naturalness: 2/5

These are my favorites so far! The color is more vibrant than the green version and they still blend with my natural eye color. They look less natural than the green ones.

I hope my review was helpful and if you still have questions, don't hesitate in asking me!

Best wishes,

Review: Kill la kill - Ryuko Matoi Jacket by Cosplaysky

Hello my dearest readers,

first of all: I changed the style of my blog a bit. I want to use is more as a blog for all my hobbies - not just Lolita - and it should be some kind of homepage for me. I also haven't worn Lolita fashion often this year, that's why there aren't that much entries in this blog for 2015. I hope I can change that again.

Today I have a new review for you: Ryuko Matoi Jacket (Kill la Kill) from Cosplaysky.com.
Normally I make cosplays by myself, but for Ryuko's jacket I thought of buying it, because the buyable versions looked actually very good. I've also seen good reviews from other cosplayers about Cosplaysky and so I wanted to give it a try. So, I asked Cosplaysky and I was able to chose the jacket from their store. The conversation was very friendly. They sent ou the jacket on 28th august and it arrived around 5 days later, so it was very fast.
I've worn the jacket with my cosplay during Connichi 2015 and really liked it - it fits great and the jacket was comfortable and kept me warm during the day.

Shipped on: 28.08.2015
Receivement: 02.09.2015
Shipping time: 5 working Days (+ sunday was in between)
Shipping via: regular shipping (DHL)

User surface of the site: 5/5
The site itself is constructed user-friendly: the article pictures are very good and the structure is clear. They have pictures of their products from almost every site and well made categories. So, surfing and searching is easy on the site. For costumes they also show pictures of the original characters.
Contact: 5/5
The contact was great! It was, as I said, very friendly and the answered all of my questions and also told me, when they sent out the jacket.
Article Quality: 5/5
The quality of the jacket is awesome! I did not expect it to be this good: it's soft on the inside and made out of a thick fabric. So it keeps you perfectly warm and it's of course very comfortable. The zipper works fine and the details on the jacket are printed with a very flexible material, so it won't rip or crack. I've also worn it without a cosplay, because it's so well made and also perfect for daily outfits. And for cosplay, all details are made like in the series and it absolutly looks like Ryuko's jacket.
Conclusion: 5/5
Overall I'm very happy with this jacket! It looks like Ryuko's jacket from the series and worked well with my cosplay and it's also wearable in daily life. The quality of the jacket is awesome. So if you're looking for Ryuko's jacket I can recommend Cosplaysky for it.

Review: "Alice in Wonderland" book bag by Re-Style.pl

Hello my dearest readers,

today I have a new review for you. I bought the "Alice in Wonderland" book bag at Re-Style.pl, this is my second bag from this site (I also own the "Watch bag" in black, but the small version). Last week I saw an entry on Quini Maze's blog about the new book bag of Re-Style.pl and I fell directly in love with it. (Well, I already have so many bags, but I just love "Alice in Wonderland" stuff and combined with a book bag = PERFECTION! <3)

Contact: 4/5
The contact was great, right after I set my order I received a confirment e-mail and later more e-mails, that my article was packed and shipped. I only give a minus point, because I got no tracking number from the site itself. But they gave me an estimated delivery date. (I got the tracking number later from DHL itself per E-Mail.)
Article Quality: 5/5
The quality of the bag is awesome! The fabric (faux leather) is very thick and looks sturdy. The print on the bag is very well printed and I can see no mistakes. The attachements for the strap also seem stable. The closing device of the bag works very well, so you can walk around with it safely. The bag came with also three mini bags on the inner (one can be closed with a zipper). And the bag can be worn in two different ways.
Conclusion: 5/5
Overall I'm very happy with second bag from Re-Style.pl. It's bigger than my other two book bags and I bet it will look great with a Lolita outfit, but it's also wearable with a normal outfit. (I would definitly buy again from the site, they also have many other gorgeous items.)

 - The bag arrived packed in a jiffy bag -

- Out of the package it was wrapped in a plastic bag and silk paper -

- Unpacked bag (strap is not attached here) -

- The bag worn (in two styles, but I prefer the first one) -

So, I hope you like my review. If you have any questions about the bag just feel free to aks me.
