Strawberry Koneko ~ New Themes

Strawberry Koneko

I have been working hard on a variety of projects and trying to widen the range of where I post my content. I've been working towards cohesive themes across my social media platforms and am beginning to be satisfied with the results. It hasn't been easy as I have several passions which revolve around two main opposing styles: pastel-kawaii and grunge-harajuku. 

This post is sort of an update post showing, with links, what I've been up to and where I can be found online. I know that this blog doesn't bring in a lot of traffic but I get long winded sometimes and I think that this blog could provide the space for long winded texts while I simply link it on my other sites. As I know that not many people want to read through a lot of text, but some might be curious about getting further information or more links for shops, etc.

New Themes

I started with a pastel gradient color scheme. I really love blues, pinks, and the look of gradient colors so I started adding this to the back drop of my different social media layouts. 

This color scheme plus strawberries combined nicely for my new aesthetic. 

I even had some digital art done by the lovely Mallow Moon Muff~

This icon became my new YouTube logo! 

I even pulled out one of the first wigs I ever bought (4 years ago!) which is a blue & pink gradient-ish wig! 

A new YouTube End Slate was next! Which now includes my Patreon link! 

~Strawberries and Candy Stars~

I also created a simple intro for YouTube to match my pastel theme (it's still a work in progress!!!)

I really do love this cute sprinkle & pastel intro and I hope it fits my themes even without being a gradient. Maybe my end slate should have a strawberry cake on it? Or maybe the background of the end slate should be all pink ..

I will keep working on it but I think I've come such a long way!!

Sephora Gifts | Unboxing

A surprise came in the mail! It’s more Sephora items that John ordered for me for Christmas! This is part of the “After” portion for my “What I Got for Christmas” video, since it came a little late, BUT in it’s own video! There were just too many items in my Christmas Present video so I decided to do two separate videos :)

Sephora offers many samples with every purchase, it’s one of the reasons why I love ordering from them! I like having the chance to test things out before buying them. Especially with some of the prices *yikes*

Main Item: Daisy Dream by Marc Jacobs {purfume}

Samples: Liquid Foundation, Nars Lips - Red, Glam Glow Clearing Treatment, Hydration Milk, & Powder/Foundation in one. 

[3 free sample, 1 with coupon code, 1 with acquired points!]

Wishtrend Klairs | Unboxing & Review

My Wishtrend Order!

I found out about wishtrend through a Taylor R vlog where another blogger (BiiBii Beauty) shared a huge haul from her work with Wishtrend. Bii explained the different products really well and she explained that her skin is both oily and dry; which is just like how mine gets! So I decided to check it out in the description box which lead to my purchase of this bundle! The bundle was on sale and the description box of Tay's video had a coupon/discount code; so I was all set! 

Here's what came in the bundle:

Deep Cleansing Package

The bundle deals are extremely worth it for the amount of products you get and versus their individual prices. They have free shipping and a clearance section that's always being added to. 

Four Products ~ Five Step Process

Message face with Oil ~ it's super relaxing!

Scoop out a finger nails worth & scrub face ~ reminds me of salt but that's not a bad thing! It really deep cleans pores.

Rinse with warm water.

Wash face with charcoal soap ~ it's super smooth!

Wip away left over dirt with this toner on the cotton pad ~ very refreshing!

So far I am very happy with the results. It really feels like a deep cleanse and my skin feels refreshed.

I have also created a video that I'll be putting on YouTube once I get a chance.

My Makeup Brush Set | REVIEW

My Makeup Brush Set

This beautiful oval brush set was sent to me by My Makeup Brush Set.

A brush for every make up purpose in this 10 brush set!

These oval brushes apply makeup very well. It blends the makeup nicely with your skin.

Honey Color | REVIEW

~Honey Color Contact Review~

I received 4 coloured contacts from Honey Color, and I am super impressed with the level of comfort and colour intensity. The only issue that has occurred is that one of the Red contact lenses does not have a prescription like the rest. This causes a bit more of a discomfort since I can't see properly out of one contact. (I double checked the packaging and the bottle is labeled as being the right prescription. I also tried re-soaking it in solution but it's still blurry.)

The blue contacts are perfect for my Sailor Moon cosplay as well as a few other characters I cosplay as. I wore these contacts for almost a full day and only noticed they started to feel a little dry. Other than that they were relatively comfortable. (I was dressed up as Sailor Moon for International Sailor Moon Day that took place on August 6th for the first time in New Brunswick this year.)

 Sweet Bliss - Grey

These grey contacts are nice and vibrant but not too vibrant. It's so strange to see myself with different coloured eyes. 

Vassen Color - Brown

 I love how they blend with my eyes. I took this picture under bright lights to show off the color but I think they seem more natural in natural lighting or even just not light focused directly on them. My boyfriend noticed that my eyes were bigger but needed to look at them under a light to see clearly that they were contacts. I'm really happy about that for this pair because I want some to try to wear in public. I love the large eye affect and want to try some hazel shades next!

Super Pinky - Red

Love the color, especially since I ordered them for my Krul Tepes cosplay; however, there's no prescription in the left eye contact :'(

I will probably still try to use them but it's a little awkward and I probably won't be able to handle them in for extended periods of time. A little unfortunate but mistakes happen.  (I was planning on doing a quick photo of Krul with these contacts but became so distracted by the blur in my left eye that I just took a quick photo for this blog post. I'll have to update the photo when I get a chance to do a Krul contest with these contacts)
***UPDATE: They sent me a new pair of contacts after emailing them letting them know that one did not have a prescription even though it was labeled as having one. I am thinking about re-doing my contact lenses video and trying the new ones on to test the prescription. ******

 All my coloured contacts are prescription, which is free to add on at Honey Color.

Each pair of contacts came with a free plastic contact case: 2 pink hippos, a mint green pig, and blue frog.

Peiliee | REVIEW

 Peiliee Shop has so many cute items and the owner is so sweet!

She added 2 free adorable wing hair clips! (They are so cute and soft!)

Shirt: Sakura Tear

 I got a Medium and love how it fits me (if you want a tighter fit, I suggest going with a small).

My item arrived really fast, I was surprised. It also was nicely wrapped in two pretty bags with the clips in bubble wrap and all together in a shipping box. Everything arrived clean and safe!

I definitely recommend this shop because they are really understanding about things like if you are a student trying to save money they often offer discount codes and will gladly help you in any way they can!

10/10
