See Clear FIERCE Theatrical Contact Lens Product Review | Halloween Contacts


Heyyy spooksters! Who is excited about another Halloween-themed review??? I know I am! Today's review is actually Part 2 of my See Clear review that I began last month. I thought it would be best to separate the circle lenses from the Fierce lenses, so that I could save these awesome lenses for a Halloween review. >:D Today is your lucky day!


These lenses are Red Vampire and White Out from See Clear's FIERCE Collection. I am so excited to review these today because I LOVE costume lenses! These definitely give off a creepy effect. Let's start with White Out, which you can buy from EyeStylez!




Here is the box! I like how they labeled what it is on the back, though with the Fierce lenses, it's pretty obvious. It would be a nice touch with circles which can often be much closer to each other in design! Let's open it up!


The Fierce lenses are both in individual containers. You just peel back the silver coating to get to your sealed, fresh lens.


Here is what White Out looks like! Pretty dang white!

For this look, I wanted to do something creepy. Something ghostly with blacked out eye sockets and haunting white eyes. A quick run to the store and I came back with all my Halloween makeup needs for $4~

Instagram: @alexapoletti

For the first look, I used the white base and the black crayon from the vampire kit to create my haunting look. This is a very basic makeup look, so I made a QUICK photo tutorial of the steps to create it.


 First, use the white base to cover your face (Photo 1) I was hoping it would dry but it never did, so I ended up using some powder to set it. Then I used the black crayon to color black circles around my eyes (Photo 2). I smeared it out with my finger. It's very creamy so it's easy to smear. Then to make it darker and to set the black, I did a layer of black eyeshadow on top of the black crayon (Photo 3). Tap the eyeshadow on instead of dragging it across your lid. This helps it stay fully pigmented and helps control fallout. Then I drew black lines/cracks/veins/whatever coming out of the black eye sockets with the black crayon (Photo 4). Then put in the See Clear FIERCE White Out lenses (Photo 5). Pop on a GLW and you're ready to scare your neighbors!


Boo! Mwahaha... I fully enjoyed sitting in the window and scaring people.



I couldn't resist this opportunity to grab some awesome Halloween studio shots. I added some crazy teased out pigtails to Gothic Lolita Wigs new white bob & here ya go!~


Channeling Bellatrix Lestrange in this one. >:D


Ahh!! Scaring myself! >.<


MWAAAAHAHAHAH I LOVE BEING CREEPY.


Overall Rating
Design~ 5/5
These are exactly what they try to be.

Color~ 5/5
Definitely makes any color eye look white.

Enlargement~ 0/5
This lens is designed to make your eyes look like it has no iris.

Comfort~ 3/5
The small hole to see through impairs vision slightly. It's much better than full white-out lenses that also cover the pupil, so I'll give it a 3/5. I wouldn't wear these too often because of the vision impairment (and because of the sheer terror I would inflict on everyone who glanced my direction).

 Naturalness~ 0/5
This would only look natural on a ghoulish zombie.

________________________________________________

Next up.... RED VAMPIRE! WOOOOHOO! Love it!


Oh my gosh. Have I mentioned that I FREAKING LOVE HALLOWEEN?!>!

okay.... focus....

Red Vampire.


It comes in a box with a label "RED VAMPIRE" just like it's creepy White Out brother.


Same packaging as well. It's exciting to see a solid red contact lens staring out at you... Ohhh the possibilities!


!!!!!!!!!

I am not doing a makeup tutorial for this look because it is much more intricate than the ghost look. I hope you understand! :3


Here is how it looks with one Red Vampire lens in. :) FYI~ The lashes used in this look are Dolluxe Lashing Out Loud used on both top and bottom.




They are pretty awesome right!?!?
My Instagram followers LOVED this look when I posted a preview last night. I am excited to launch the photos now! :D



Again, I could not resist the studio shots! Here you go!~





I am going to suck your blood!!! (O,.,O)

A look like this would not be complete without red contacts. See Clear pulling through in the clutch!

Overall Rating
Design~ 5/5
These are exactly what they try to be.

Color~ 5/5
Definitely makes any color eye look red.

Enlargement~ 0/5
This lens is meant to cover the iris and make them appear solid red. It's not intended to enlarge.

Comfort~ 3/5
Same as the white pair above:
The small hole to see through impairs vision slightly. I wouldn't wear these too often because of the vision impairment (and because of the sheer terror I would inflict on everyone who glanced my direction).

 Naturalness~ 0/5
This would only look natural on a blood sucking vampire.

66Umbrella Spooky Handbag Review | Handmade Purse Product Review | Daily Style Post


Happy October!!
Fall is FINALLY here! Time to celebrate my favorite month and holiday with Halloween-themed reviews all month! Stay tuned for products from creepy shops, costume lenses, makeup tutorials, & more!

We are kicking off October with a little something from 66Umbrella. I mean, Brianne's store slogan is "Where every day is Halloween!"... so... like... was there even any other choice?

My path first crossed with Brianne when I was celebrating 10,000 fans on my Facebook page back in December of last year. I was hosting an alternative fashion giveaway, and Brianne (going by her artist name BloodVain at the time) was a sponsor!



Do any long-time fans remember these? 

Anyway, Brianne went on to open a handmade handbag shop called 66Umbrella, which is why we are here today. After she emailed me for review, I gave her a shop a looksie and I knew I had to have one of these bags! The bag that initially hooked me was this right here:

You can find it HERE.

I love love love the spiderweb flap and the bow. My only concern with it was that, because of the colors, I wouldn't be able to carry it as often as I would like to. Green is a difficult color to match to things. I asked if there was any chance that I could have that exact design with a more neutral base. Boy... did she deliver. NOT ONLY did she say that she was happy to make a custom bag for me, but gave me neutral-toned fabric options for the base and the bow of the bag! How amazing is that!



Once I saw the first print, I knew I had to have it. After some seriously quick shipping (2 days!), my handmade, personalized, 66Umbrella bag was in my hands.


Time to open it up!


The contents!
A cute handwritten note from Bri on some adorably creepy stationary!


Bri's business card. It has a punched-out umbrella!!


And of course, the purse! It was wrapped so neatly, it was like having a purse inside a purse! High five on the packaging, 66Umbrella


I tried not to mess up the packaging because it was so pretty, but my eagerness to get to the bag overcame me. RIP cute packaging.

But hellooooo new bag!


It is truly perfect!

I LOVE the way it came out. *cries with happiness*


Just look at the amazing spiderweb print!


Front & back with the flap open. Don't you love it?!


The top secures with a snap. :3


It's a snap! ....get it?

The straps are held on like this:


Very sturdy!


It even has a 66Umbrella label! So awesome! 

Let's check out some close-ups of this killer fabric.





Can you tell I'm obsessed?!


Want to see a quick video demo of the purse? Would you guys like to see products in live action more often?


Tell me what you think! 

I love it so much that I decided to use it to inspire today's Daily Style post! Happy October 1st!


Outfit Rundown


Lashes: Dolluxe Lashing Out Loud
