Custom Persona Phone Case Review - Game Custom Made -

I've been eyeing up the custom cases and skins over at Game Custom Made for a little while now, and since I'm so obsessed with Persona 4 I decided to order myself a phone case! The case cost £20 with free UK shipping, and arrived within 3 days, which was super fast!

Ordering the case was very simple, the online editor is easy to use and you can upload any picture and resize and rotate it to fit the case. As you can see I tried out a few different Persona pictures until I decided on the one I chose!

 The case is a really nice quality, the plastic is very thick, and it's really shiny too! The print came out quite nice, maybe a little dark but you can see all the details and there's no patchy areas. Using a high quality picture helped with that of course.

 The design is even printed down the sides and around the edges of the case, which are slightly curved and feel very smooth.

 The design does get a little distorted on the curved corners (note the P from the Persona logo) but it doesn't distract from the overall quality and I don't mind so much since it's just on the side.

 The colours are bright, and the case in general looks professional.

 And here is the case on my phone! I have my usual Persona and cat paw charms on, I love having multiple phone charms hanging from my phone~

 The case doesn't rise up over the edges of my phone, but I don't mind at all. There's a place where I can put phone charms so I'm happy!

 Overall I love this case, I've been wanting a Persona case for a while but all the official ones are super expensive and all look the same, now I have something different that no one else has! (unless they make one too which is cool)

Check out Game Custom Made (I'm not sponsored lmao) for other custom cases and skins for game consoles and controllers as well as phone and tablet cases!

.... I think I'll be getting this one next huehuehue *sweats*

Betoyo Bento Subscription Box Review

I have a different kind of subscription box review this time, the Betoyo Bento box features anime figures and toys and Japanese candy, and they kindly sent me August's box to review! I'll also be doing an unboxing video on Youtube soon, but here is my blog review~

 As you can see the box comes beautifully wrapped with a nice red ribbon (which I'll keep for crafts of course, or maybe even a cosplay) and it also has a sticker on top with the Betoyo logo on.

Kawaii Box Review and Giveaway

Subscription boxes have gotten popular lately, presumably following the success of boxes such as Lootcrate. Now there are a wide range of boxes including anything from makeup products to healthy snacks, kawaii goodies to Asian food. I have a review of the Kawaii Box, which is run by the company Blippo (not to be confused by other boxes of a similar name)

"Kawaii Box is the cutest monthly subscription service. Subscribe Now and receive a box filled with hand-picked kawaii items from Japan and Korea directly to your home every month. Your box will be shipped in the beginning of each month and the shipping is absolutely free, anywhere on the planet! Each box includes 10-12 cute, original and licensed kawaii items."

EOS New Adult Brown Circle Lens Review

A while ago I bought these lenses from Honeycolor to use with my Mirai Kuriyama cosplay, and I just got around to trying them out now! I thought I'd do a review of them as well~

 Since Mirai's eyes are a kind of yellow/brown, I thought these lenses would be perfect. They are the EOS New Adult Brown and although they're called brown, they look yellow in person.

 This is what they look like with only one lens in so you can see the difference. As you can see, they do enlarge my eyes, but being only 14mm in diameter it's not too unnatural, which is good for cosplay.

 And this is what they look like together. The colour blends well with my eyes, which I was quite surprised but happy about! And as I hoped, they're not too brightly yellow, and kind of look like a hazel-ish brown, which is perfect for my cosplay.

 I tried out makeup for my cosplay too, and just like when I tried out my lenses for my Ryuko cosplay, I had a little photoshoot~

 And with that my Mirai cosplay is finally completed! I had to buy a new wig since the one I had was too short to curl under my chin like her bob hairstyle, so I like this one much better. Plus the colour is accurate! (I bought it from ebay)

 I'll be wearing this next month, hopefully at Yorkshire Cosplay Con and definitely at Sunnycon, along with my Ryuko cosplay! If you're going, feel free to say hi!

Overall thoughts of the lenses:

Colour: 4/5 It's exactly as I wanted, but some may think they're not bright enough
Comfort: 4/5 When I first put them in my eyes were all watery but they're about as comfy as usual lenses
Enlargement: 3/5 Surprisingly good enlargement, even if I don't really need it!

Blippo Kawaii Shop Review

I recently came across this really cute online store called Blippo, they sell a lot of different things from Japanese fashion magazines, to stationary, to DIY candy kits! I contacted them to see if I could do a review and they very kindly sent me these items for me to review, and I will be doing demo videos on Youtube very soon!

Everything was sent in a box filled with packing, so the items were very safe when travelling. It was sent on the 23rd, and arrived today on the 30th so it's very quick shipping too! Here is everything I received:
http://www.blippo.com/mobile-accessories/keitai-decoden/pearls-2mm-colorful.html
http://www.blippo.com/meiji-diy-apollo-chocolate-kit.html
http://www.blippo.com/mobile-accessories/keitai-decoden/cupcake-cabochon-craft-supplies-5pcs.html
http://www.blippo.com/mobile-accessories/keitai-decoden/red-white-bow-cabochon-craft-supplies-5pcs.html
http://www.blippo.com/mobile-accessories/keitai-decoden/popsicle-cabochon-craft-supplies-5pcs.html

 First I received this Apollo DIY chocolate kit. I've never tried this kit before, and I also haven't eaten the Apollo chocolates before, so I'm very excited to try this! It'll be fun to decorate the little chocolates~

 The instructions are in Japanese, but there are pictures so they are very easy to understand. There is also a video on Blippo's website showing you how to make the kit if you get stuck!

 Next I have these tiny coloured pearls, which are meant for nail art but I'll be able to use them for decoden and for my resin jewellery. They come with a little bottle of nail glue, which I could use for nail art if I wanted.

 The pearls come in a cute container that is easy to open and good for storage. They are very tiny and cute, but also have a lot of static so they stick to things a lot! They're a little fiddly but very pretty.

 I also received these cute cabochons which I can use in decoden! I'll be doing a decoden demo video featuring these on Youtube, and I have a good idea of what I can demonstrate~

Lastly I was sent this cool Blippo keychain, which I believe everyone receives with their order. I like the design of this, it's pretty cute!

Overall I really liked the items I was sent, and I can't wait to try them out properly! Don't forget to check out Blippo's website because they have lots of cute things, and it's free shipping internationally!

Korean Beauty Products Haul

I recently ordered a few beauty products from EyeCandy's so I could try them out and do reviews on them! 

 This is everything that arrived in my package, I do have a problem with it however, as I'd ordered the Etude House Bebe Foot Mask and it hasn't arrived. I've contacted them about this so hopefully I'll hear back soon!

 The first thing I have is the Etude House Magic Bubble Creamy Peeling Wash, although I had actually ordered the Etude House Magic Bubble Brush Peeling Foam which is more expensive than the wash and comes with a brush. I've contacted them about this also so hopefully it can be resolved!

 There's a nozzle at the top and English instructions on the can.

Next is Too Cool for School Morocco Ghassoul Blackhead Out. You get 11 strips in the pack and they're designed to go on your nose to remove blackheads.

 There is an English ingredients list but no English instructions, but luckily EyeCandys has instructions on their website.

 Next I bought 5 of the Etude House Collagen Eye Patch AD since there was an offer if you bought 5 of them. They're eye patches designed to brighten the skin around your eyes.

 There are English instructions on the packet.

 Next I bought 5 of the Etude House Alphabet Series I Need You! Sheet Mask but only received 4 of them (again, kind of disappointed with this order there's a few things wrong or missing!) Anyway, I got the Zucchini, Xylitol Forest, Royal Jelly and Hyaluronic Acid face masks, and they all do similar things, but you can get other ones that are supposed to do different things and help different parts of your skin.

 Again, there are English instructions on the packets.

 I also got 9 samples of the Etude House Bright Fit BB Cream (I can't find the full version on the website) Each one was in the colour sand beige, so I hope it matches my skin so I can use these!

So although I had a few problems with my order, I'm still looking forward to trying out these products! Which one would you like to see a review of first?
