[REVIEW] Klenspop - Cara Violet



Hey cuties! It's been a lot of time, isn't it?
I've been definitely a while! But I'm here with my new review for Klenspop



I received Cara Violet I was so excited of opening them, I've been waiting a lot to try Cara! They come in different colours, and I've always liked the design (the little lines on the border) because they really make the eye more flawless and noticeable!

Here there are all the info about these lenses! Violet might be my new favourite colour of lenses (just shortly after my Guren cosplay) and I believe these are one of the best! They'd be the cutest also on a lot of Harajuku's outfits or cute-looks!




The package came really fast, it only took a week and a half! It's always a pleasure receiving package so fastly! They were not damaged at all, came in the Klenspop usual box wrapped in bubbles and with the instruction leaflet.


Here's the actual content! The Cara Violet lenses, a plastic tweezer and the lenses case (which i want to talk more about later)



While opening the lenses I had some problems because the easy-on ouverture broke, and I had to first try with my nails, ending up breaking them, then with a scissor (don't do this at home it's really dangerous!) It's funny because it happened with both the two vials!

Anyway in the end I succeded in opening them so let's move on onto the review!




Here's the lenses in water! The colour looks just as the stock photo! I can't wait to try them on!

One thing I have to say, because it's the second time it happens to me with Klenspop (the first one with another pair of Violet lenses so it might be a curse haha), but I thought it was an ordinary mistake; now as it's the second time I want to share it with you guys. These lenses are graduated for me, and surely a lot of you folks out there need them graduated too.
That's not a problem with Klenspop, that sells a lot of lenses with different graduation.
The thing is that normally the coloured cap in the lenses' case is the RIGHT
In these lenses (you can surely see it if you open the photos) the pink one is the LEFT! I didn't notice at first, but I did when I had to use the lenses for cosplay's purposes and I couldn't remember if I've had put the right on the transparent one or if I've had thought of me doing it without care on the morning of the con and choseed the pink side instead.
I had to try them on and make sure the graduation was correct, but this made me laugh a lot (and spend ten good times thinking and rethinking)

So in the end: look twice where do you put your graduated lenses!



Finally I've tried them on! I've used them for a photoset for a mixed-media workshop in my city, where I modeled for the students!


Here are some photos they took:



And here's a glimpse of the backstage! I was frozing cold, it's November and we were outside because the lighting was better, but fortunately they were just portraits so I could've kept my jacket on me and off the camera!




It was nice having you for this review, see ya next!

[REWIEW] Parigi Dolci Pastry, Milan.





Hello there!
Last week I went to the nicest bakery in Milan...
 and since it's japanese I decided to share my toughts with you! 




It's located in Paolo Sarpi street, the famous "china town" of Milan 
and it's the sweetest thing I ever been to!
Photo from this site, 

They remodeled their shop not long ago and it's so modern and clean, really japanese like.
Their logo is stamped really everywhere!
Here's some photo from their facebook of the insides, and some sample of what they make.








As you can see they make mainly cakes and patisserie,
 but they have a little corner with sandwich and slices of pizza.
They added, from this summer, hot & cold drinks to go with their product.
They do bubble tea too!
Everything is take away, because they have a really little shop with only two seats,
 but in Paolo Sarpi there are plenty of benches to sit down and take a good break!


Into what I have tried!


A strawberry swiss roll;
A pudding;
Some checkered biscuits; 
And a hot latte.

It was the first time that I get the hot drinks but these were really good!
Hot enough to be nice in autumn cold but not to burn yourself.
The cup was lovely, I wanted to take it home, but in the end I stained it, damn



This roll, THIS ROLL.
It was alredy pre cutted and I already loved it. But then I tried it.
It was moist, sweet and it smelled like strawberry.
Not only it TASTED like strawberry, but it SMELLED like strawberry too,
I love it.


You can see how fluffy it is even from photo!
I trully recomend it.


I'm not a grat fan of pudding, but I really wanted it.
Why? 
BECAUSE THEY HAVE SHOVEL INSTEAD OF SPOONS.



Tell me this isn't the best thing ever. Just try.
I love this, eating everithing with this is 1000 better.
Yes, I took this home. I use it in my daily basis and I regret nothing.
SHOVEL SPOON SHOULD BE A THING.



And finaly the cookies.
Cookies are cookies. I like this because they are chekered!
I love the chocolate part, they really do go well with the latte too.



That was it.
Totaly a better morning for me. Don't you love to have a nice breakfast to start well the day?
Parigi Dolci surely does that everytime I go there.
If you are in Milan and you want to taste a little bit of japan you should really try this shop.
And Paolo Sarpi as well! It's my fave place to go japanese snack hunting.
So many lovely little market to explore!



See you next time,
Cyclove.

[REVIEW] Shop Moon Jelly - Kawaii Mystery Bag





Hi honeys!
Halloween is nearly passed and I'm here with a special review!
This time will be for the Etsy shop Shop Moon Jelly



The shop have a lot of cute things

Here are some examples of things that you can find~
(all the picture comes from the Etsy shop)

Kawaii DIY Bracelet Kit


Kawaii Dinosaur Pencil Case


Cute Mini Alpaca Coin Purse





I've found this little shop full of cute stuff and I decided to give it a try by purchasing the Kawaii Mystery Bag.
Evie, the seller, was so kind and answered all the question that I did in a very short time! This also encouraged me to try her shop~ 





The package arrived in 10 days at my place, in perfect condition and with no problem with the custom inquisition - how lucky!







Evie was so gentle and added in the mystery box 2 more items!
I was so lucky: I really love Sailor Moon and I've got 3 stickers of it~

The Watermelon lollipop was really really good - I've loved it - while I'm still a bit afraid of the cow tongue japanese snack since I'm not really used to this kind of flavour.

I've also received a bow brooch that I'll probably use in my everyday life to decorate my outfit, a really cute strawberry ring and some little charms~ 






I've fallen in love with this ring~ I've tried this look and it came out pretty similar to Nana Komatsu from NANA. I would use it in cute and winterish outfits or in lolita inspired looks.


I would use the ribbon in seifuku ispired outfits - unfortunately now I don't have anything that could fit it in the way I want, but I'm pretty sure that it could be used in some cosplay ~




Well guys, go and take a look at Evie's shop ♥ you won't be disappointed~
