Korra at AX2013 and Neo (Cosmo) Sunflower (Edge) Blue

I'm not really sure of the official name of the lenses...
Anyways, I went to Anime Expo not too long ago, so here's a sample of my Korra cosplay!

Outdoor shot, probably with flash? I look paler than irl, so it's possible.
Let me list and review every product used! ^o^
1. Kao Liese Prettia Bubble Hair Dye in Ash Brown
 - best hair dye ever; except for strong ammonia
 - foam is easy to apply
 - enough foam to plausibly cover hair to your waist (maybe)
 - very good at evening hair color
I had previously gotten my hair dyed slightly too light at a salon in Taiwan, but Liese darkened that part and lightened my roots. Slight ombre effect after several washes, but at least everything's brown.
2. Dr. Jart Premium B.B. Cream
- or something like that
- doesn't make my face itch and flake off
- so it's probably good for dry skin types
You're not really supposed to have SPF, but I can't use anything else without turning into a leper.
3. Majolica Majorca Eyebrow Mascara - brown! :D
Ok, I don't feel like listing anymore products. Time for a more in depth review!


backlit
Neo Sunflower Blue
Color/Design - 4
-relatively vibrant and opaque in flash and bright settings
-dark in shadow and indoor
Comfort - 5
-after adjusting to the thickness, comfier than normal contacts
Enlargement - 2
-14.2 mm, what do you expect?
Overall - 4

Comfiest contacts ever. Not even as dry as my normal Acuvues after a whole day.
Got them from koreabigeyes.com
I actually wanted aqua, but they weren't in my prescription. Also, these are quarterly, even though the site said yearly. Dunno
About KoreaBigEyes...
-Probably the best selection of Neo lenses online
-Shipping is slower, probably since they're based in Thailand
-Customer service is a bit lacking, because I got worried since it took a month or so to ship, and they didn't reply to any of my emails
-My package arrived eventually, so maybe they should find a different shipping company
LINE for fun; no lens

Dolly Wink Natural Dolly (upper) and Real Nude (lower)
I might have gone a bit overboard with the lashes, but this was my first successful application by myself. These lashes really are quite natural and soft. I just need to apply them better. And maybe wear more eyeshadow/eyeliner to hide them better. I could probably just wear the lashes on their own though.
