Geo Coloured Lenses



Hey everyone! Another review this week, this time featuring Geo Coloured Lenses! This time around they sent me a new color from the Princess Mimi line. A beautiful natural looking green called 

Geo Princess Mimi Apple Green



As usual, Geo Coloured Lenses sent the lenses extremely fast and extremely well packaged. they come in a nice bubble mailer and inside everything is wrapped securely as well. You even get a lens case when you order so no need to worry about going out and purchasing one. 


The great thing about their contacts is that you can get them in your prescription without any hassle. Yes, I do realize I'm blind as a bat, but.....im a pretty blind bat when my Geo Coloured Lenses come in. They are pretty comfortable but I do recommend taking them out each night after a long day of wear. I have goofed a few times and left them in a few nights, and like any other contacts they left my eyes a little dry. As most of you know, I do have pretty dark eyes and finding a colored lens that actually shows up on them is hard. Not with these! They're bright but still very natural looking. I get so many compliments on this line of contacts its not even funny. 



You might be asking yourself, are they safe for your eyes? Is this a reliable site? Yes to both!! 

1.    GEO Medical is a safe Korean circle contact lens brand. It is the only brand of circle lenses currently approved by the U S Food and Drug Administration (USFDA) and has also gained International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and Conformité Européenne (CE) certification. There are currently many circle contact lens brands in the market and customers should always purchase their circle lenses carefully to avoid fake or unreliable brands.

2.    All their products are genuine. Each lens vial comes with a sticker with a hidden unique serial code and customers will be able to verify its authenticity on GEO Anti-fake website.

3.    Most of their circle contact lenses are available with prescription.

4.    Geocolouredlenses.com offers FREE international shipping and a FREE lens case for each pair of circle contact lenses purchased.

So if you're looking to add some color to your life....Geo Coloured Lenses are the way to go. 
So have fun with them! Follow them on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter....whatever your guilty pleasure is lol. 
Until next time dolls!
XOXO,

.Geo Coloured Lenses Review!

As some of you know...I'm practically blind as a bat lol. I was lucky enough to be chosen to review a pair of contacts from Geo Coloured Lenses. I did some research on the company and the lenses before choosing. I've gotten contacts online before and they didn't seem to be as comfortable as the ones I would order from my doctor. I asked a lot of questions and got some great answers. SO...I went ahead and decided to do it! I chose a pair from the Princess Mimi Collection. In particular, the Sesame Grey pair. I've been wanting a grey pair for the longest and these are by far the most gorgeous and believable contacts I've ever worn. 

Here are a few pics wearing the Sesame Grey contacts from Geo Coloured Lenses



Like I said before. They're stunning! I have super dark brown eyes and these show up so bright and natural. Below you will see the natural color of my eyes. Dark brown....almost black lol. 


So now that you've seen the before and after of these lenses....let's talk about comfort and the other fun stuff you need to know. Geo Coloured Lenses has contacts in plano (meaning you don't need a prescription) and in prescription! Which is great because not long ago the only way to get colored lenses was through the eye doctor and they were extremely expensive. 
They came in the mail wrapped extremely well and with a free macaron contact lens case! They are super comfy and I haven't had any issues with them moving around on my eye and blurring my vision. Now on to the important stuff! 

1.    GEO Medical is a safe Korean circle contact lens brand. It is the only brand of circle lenses currently approved by the U S Food and Drug Administration (USFDA) and has also gained International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and Conformité Européenne (CE) certification. There are currently many circle contact lens brands in the market and customers should always purchase their circle lenses carefully to avoid fake or unreliable brands.

2.    All Geo Coloured Lens products are genuine. Each lens vial comes with a sticker with a hidden unique serial code and customers will be able to verify its authenticity on GEO Anti-fake website.

3.    Most of their circle contact lenses are available with prescription.

4.    Geocolouredlenses.com offers FREE international shipping and a FREE lens case for each pair of circle contact lenses purchased.

So with that being said. I hope you all go check out http://www.geocolouredlenses.com/ and check them out on Facebook and Instagram @geolenses

Hope you guys enjoyed this review! Until the next one.....

UK Custom Plugs



What's this? What's this? A new blog? YES! I have returned with something new and exciting. No I haven't died lol. It's been incredibly busy lately and I'm finally getting to breathe! So I thought, shit....I should write a blog review! So lets do it!

Today's review is all thanks to the guys at UK Custom Plugs! I've been a fan of UKCP for quite some time now. I started stretching my ears 2 years ago after I had my daughter. I had tried stretching them during my pregnancy but my body just wasn't allowing it. I am currently at a 00 (10MM) and I'm not really sure if I plan to go larger. Being at that size you really feel limited to cool picture plugs but at UK Custom Plugs  that is far from the truth. They have a ton of amazing acrylic picture plugs available starting at size 2G (6MM) and going all the way to 2 inch (50MM) plugs. They have screw on backs, double flares, wooden, stone, acrylic, you name it....they have it. Even if you don't have stretched ears. They have "fake plugs" that are actual post earrings with a plug look. Looking to stretch your ears? They also have stretching kits! I was sent 4 pair to review and do photo shoots in. I chose two gorgeous stone sets and two super cute acrylic sets. So lets check them out now!




First set is the acrylic screw back Cupcake plugs. These little guys are ADORABLE. I wore them out last night to a show and they were super light and comfortable. I even slept in them with no issues. Usually screwbacks piss me off because it seems like you can never get them to screw on correctly and you have to give it a few tries. These were actually pretty easy. I can't wait to pair these with a cupcake-pinup look soon!


This next pair is the double flared Nebula acrylic plugs. I actually wear double flare plugs quite frequently. I feel like they help keep my ear lobes nice, fat and healthy lol. It stretches them a little and allows them to shrink a little afterwards. These are probably my favorite pair out of the four. They're light, comfortable and super detailed. These plugs actually make my husband jealous lol.


These are actually my first pair of stone plugs. I chose the Amethyst stone plugs for a few reasons, I love purple and it's my birthstone. These are also double flared. It was a really cool feeling putting them in and feeling just how cool they were to the touch. They do weigh a little bit more than the acrylics but I'm not at a size where it would actually stretch my ear out more. They're beautiful and I will def say this pic does not do them justice at all. I highly recommend a pair if you re looking for something different.


These awesome stone plugs are called the Black Imperial Stone Plugs. I mean they just scream Star Wars lol. I freaking love these and they seriously go with everything. Like the Amethyst plugs, they are aslo double flared and super comfy. All in all, they're pretty badass looking.


Here is a pic of all four sets with the cool little double sided flyer they sent. They also sent stickers but sadly Sassy got to them before I could get a pic lol. They came in a bubble mailer and were sealed in a resealable package wrapped in bubble wrap. It honestly didn't take long at all to get them either. Overall I would say their shipping is 10/10. A heads up before you order they do sell the plugs individually. Maybe you only have one ear stretched? Maybe you want to mix and match? That's the awesome thing about UK Custom Plugs, they give options and lots of them. As far as pricing goes and quality of the plugs.....def 10/10 on both. I will never buy another pair of plugs from the mall thanks to UKCP.

So I hope you all found this useful. I will be uploading another blog showing off photo shoots wearing them very soon! Until then, go check out UK Custom Plugs! Until next time guys and dolls!

XOXO,

Pinky Paradise!!!



Gasp!! What's this? Another review? Why yes, yes it is! Today I'm bringing you another sponsor who I have to say is pretty amazing! If you don't know I have horrible vision and I'm always wearing contacts. I usually wear clear contacts due to the fact I never find any colored contacts through my optometrist that I actually like. Digging around looking for cosplay things I found Pinky Paradise . HOLY SHIT at their selection. I mean wow. I didn't think I could wear their contacts because most companies don't have prescription lenses. NOPE! Pinky Paradise has them all, from plano (no prescription) to -10.00!! That's amazing for us blind bats! Okay, so lets get down to the good stuff!

I spent three days going through all of the contacts on their website trying to decide on the perfect pair for me. I really wanted to try a blue pair and I finally decided on the EOS New Adult Blue


This is what they looked like from the website. They are circle lenses so I assumed they would also enlarge the look of my iris. I placed my order and waited patiently for them to arrive. Pinky Paradise  told me it would be 7-21 days. They actually got here pretty quick. But if you're in a rush to get them just know that it wont be 3-5 days lol. I met my mail lady eagerly at my mailbox and ripped right into the package. It was sent in a bubble mailer (bubble wrap lined envelope). When I opened the package it came with a cute macaron case!! Which if you use my code (I will link below) you will receive and a FREE mystery gift! The contacts came in glass vials and were wrapped very securely. 


Above is a pic of the macaron case and the vials. I love how vibrant the label is and how adorable the lens case is as well! 


A look from below to show what the lenses look like in the vial. 

Okay! So the fun part, actually wearing them! Of course I couldn't wait. I popped them in and noticed a HUGE change. The top pic is with one contact lens in and the bottom is with both in. Color wise, I freaking love them! Comfort wise...I wouldn't suggest more than 20 hours in them at max. I made the mistake of sleeping in them and oh god it felt like sandpaper. But, wearing during the day...zero issues.

Here is a little info on the lenses! 
   Diameter: 14.0mm
Water Content: 38%
  Base Curve: 8.6mm
         Life Span: 1 Year Disposal

Over all, I highly recommend Pinky Paradise for colored contacts and I can't wait to order other colors! Who knows? Maybe a red or a violet next time! 

I hope you guys enjoyed this review! I will be doing many more in the future! like i said earlier, if you wish to buy from Pinky Paradise make sure to use code: VIVIANVANITY for your macaron case and FREE gift!! 

XOXO

Penny Dreads & Wigs 2 weeks in


Hey everyone! Time for an update! 2 weeks ago I did a review on the Celadon wig Penny Dreads & Wigs was so kind to send. Today I'm going to let you guys know how it has held up in crazy Texas weather for 2 weeks!!

The first week I wore it for five days straight. Minimum tangle and still smelled fresh..I don't know why everyone is always complaining about stinky wigs lol. The second week was pretty windy here. It did get a few tangles but nothing running your hands through wouldnt fix. Oh, and it still smells fine. Haha. 

I know I have shown you guys pics of the Celadon from the last two blogs but I can't help but still be excited over this wig. I did finally upload a youtube video of the Celadon wig. With any underlined and highlighted word in this blog there is a link so feel free to click it! I am a 
little awkward in the video. I'm still not used to talking to a camera lol, but I am getting better! 

So last but not least....I want to take this time to really thank Amanda and John over at Penny Dreads & Wigs for everything they have done over the past few weeks. From sending the Celadon for me to review to making me a discount code just for you guys! They have been nothing but super sweet and on top of everything. I cant stress enough how much customer service matters. They get it completely. I really hope to make them proud with all the promoting and honest reviews I am doing. Because this company deserves to be seen! 

OH!! Before I forget, here is a few more shots of the Celadon! Make sure you get your Penny Dreads & Wigs wig or extensions today!! Trust me, when you see the one you wanted sold out.....it's a sad sad day. 
you guys are awesome!!
XOXO,

Hell's Finest Clothing



Hey guys and dolls! its that time of the week! New awesome shit! Today I bring you, Hell's Finest Clothing.
What is Hell's Finest Clothing? Seriously one of the best clothing brands I have come across in a long time. Not only do they stand out above most brands but it encourages its customers to stand out as well. In a society full of "look like this, think like this, speak like that." HFC says NO! No to conformity and NO to silence. With phrases like, "Exist to be happy, Not to impress." This is THE brand to watch. Finally a clothing line that says BE YOU! I am more than proud to represent this brand as my first clothing sponsor. So a HUGE thank you to Arik and Heather Reese! HUGE THANK YOU!

Today we will go over their tank tops! HFC was kind enough to send JBoogie and I 3 shirts and 1 tank top to model. The tank top was a nice thin (but not see through) and super soft fabric. Perfect for our Texas heat! Which we put to the test yesterday! We walked a mile through our favorite park and normally I'm wearing a regular t shirt and dying from the heat. Not yesterday! I was comfy and cool lol. Here are a few pics :) 



Here is a better picture to show the actual wording on the tank! 


Overall thoughts on the shirt:
Fit: 5/5 
Comfort: 5/5 
Color & Design: 5/5

I definitely cant wait to see what HFC has in store for their line. I know we will be seeing lots of new amazing designs. As for the other three shirts, I will be posting blogs of those soon! We have a mini photo shoot this weekend with my bestie Patricia.

Penny Wigs Review!



Hey guys and dolls!! I am back and with some wicked cool news! Earlier this week my first sponsor,  Penny Dreads & Wigs sent me one of the most amazing wigs I have ever owned. It isn't available on the website just yet but....it is a must own piece. 

Monday I checked the mail to find an awesome package awaiting with my name on it from Penny Wigs. I was soooo excited I couldn't wait to actually film opening it. I ripped into the plastic and out came the wig bag holding the beauty. Two really cool business cards we're placed in the bag as well. 


As for shipping, it was SUPER fast. Amanda the owner at Penny Wigs was sweet enough to actually contact me herself and let me know when it was going to be shipped. That's customer service you never get! The wig was wrapped really nicely in netting and stuffed with paper to help keep its shape. After taking it out and shaking it real good, I ran into the house to try it on. The fringe was quite a bit long for my liking, but I also have a small forehead/face. I did do some trimming on it to actually see lol. 
So here we go, my favorite things about the wig! I adore how soft it is, seriously I have other wigs from other companies and none of them are this soft. Also, the color on this thing....holy crap! the mint is a true mint. I wasn't sure how it would look with my olive skin tone but I love it and so did my husband! The grey in it is a perfect stone grey, not too light and not too dark. It definately compliments the mint green. I wore it all day today and I haven't had any tangle issues....at all. Which if you wear synthetic wigs you know can be a nightmare!! I paired two different lippies with it to show how versitile the wig can be. I love how both looks turned out honestly. Here are a few pics!

Side View

I then decided to add NYX Wicked Lippie in Cold Hearted. My kitten Bellatrix wouldn't leave me alone while trying to take pics so I got a good one with her too! 

Overall, I'm completely in love with this wig. This month my bff and I have a shoot in Austin, Tx with Megaship Cosplay. Where this beauty will get pro shots! 

Once again I want to thank Penny Wigs for this amazing opportunity to represent their brand and share some of their amazing art with you guys. To see more of Penny Wigs click on the links below!


Also check out my Facebook page for lots of pics and more! 


Thanks again for hanging out and I hope you're all enjoying my blog! 
Lots more to come in the next month!!

Goth Inspired Pin-up Makeup

Hey everyone! So, this weekend I had promised a video....unfortunately my camera crapped out on me. Luckily, I do have a new charger on the way. Until then, lets do a review! I talked about the NYX Wicked Lippies last week. I finally tried out the Cold-hearted Lippie tonight. I haven't done a pin.-up look in quite some time so I thought, why not do a goth-esq pin-up makeup?

Here are a few pics from that! I used my favorite foundation, Kat Von D's Lock-It mixed with a little tinted moisturizer for my face. For my eyes I used the Kat Von D studded eye shadow book. I did a heavy contour on my cheeks because the look is so dramatic. I then lined my lips with the NYX jumbo pencil in Black Bean, after that I layered it with the NYX Wicked Lippie in Cold-hearted. To complete the "pin-up" look i rolled my bangs, pinned my pony tail into curls and added a bandanna. I couldn't find my black one so my zebra one will have to do! 

As for the lippie, I love it. It is one you will have to set and re-apply often. I wouldn't use this as an "all day" lippie that's for sure. but for a photo shoot or a night out, oh yeah!! 

Alright guys and dolls, guess that's it for me tonight! I will be posting a new blog tomorrow full of some super exciting news!! Have a great night!!

xoxo

Funko Friday?!

Hey guys and dolls!! It's Friday! As something new, I'd like to introduce FUNKO FRIDAY! What is this Funko?? Well Funko is a company that produces collectible toys. My husband JBoogie and I collect their line of Funko POP vinyls and their Funko My Little Pony figures. They're both amazing! Our growing collection now has over 100 pops and ponies. With that being said, on Friday's I'd like to share our collection, new funko news & reviews. Hopefully you guys will enjoy the hobby as much as we do!

To start today off I'd like to introduce my holy holy holy grail. A holy grail is basically a pop that is your most ultimate that you could ever hope to own. For me, that would definitely be a signed Captain Spaulding. Guess what came in the mail today?! You guessed it! My Sid Haig signed Captain Spaulding!!!! Yes, he is beautiful lol. 

I'm so excited to add him to our collection. Now I have only a handful more to hunt down. Not to mention all the new pops coming out this year! Ugh, Harry Potter, Doctor Who, and sooooo many more! I can't wait to show you guys all the amazing stuff we get! With that being said, what do you guys collect? Feel free to post it in the comments!

NYX Wicked Lippies!!

hey guys and dolls! Two weeks ago I stumbled upon NYX Wicked Lippies and fell in love. Talk about sad panda when I realized they were released two months ago! I then went on a week long binge of watching reviews. They would be the FIRST off the wall lipstick I have purchased so I wanted to make sure I knew as much about them as I could. Finally I decided on two colors I really wanted. I went to my local ULTA. No luck, Target, CVS, you name it! We even searched all the ULTA's on the way to Arkansas. Still nothing!! So I decided to order through the website. HA! Sold out as well. Just when I thought all hope was lost I saw them in our local H.E.B. Seriously??? A grocery store?? Whats even better is they had BOTH colors I was dying to own.

A few days ago I decided to wear the first color I bought, Immortal. A beautiful dark blue/purple. I will tell you this, it isn't a one swipe lipstick. You've got to layer this to give the color full potential. They do feel a little odd on your lips, kind of like a thick slippery plastic coating lol. They're also not an all day lipstick. You do have to reapply and reapply and reapply. So keep it and a mirror handy! But aside from that, I loved the color! It was perfect with my skin tone and hair color. I paired it with a smokey purple and black eye and it was perfect!

I haven't tried Cold Hearted just yet! But I def will this week. Where are the pics from Immortal I'm sure you're wondering? Don't worry. I'm going to have pics and a video review up this week! Just thought I'd at least get a post out there to let you guys know about these amazing lippies before they're all gone! Happy lippie hunting dolls!!

Welcome!


WELCOME!

Hey everyone and welcome to my blog! This is definitely something new for me, but I'm super excited to start! I can't wait to get to know all of you and share my little world. SOOOOO....lets do this! 

First, I guess the biggest question is, "Who is this Vivian Vanity?" Great question! I am just like you, well if you like bright colored hair and awesome things lol. But really, I'm from Houston, Texas and I am a wife, a mother, an artist, fashion designer, make up enthusiast, dye hard, wig adoring, rainbow bright doll. I love all things alternative, cosplay, lolita, pinup. horror, you name it!  

I started modeling July of 2014 when i met one of the sweetest dolls ever. She was from Alaska and was looking to shoot models that didn't fit the "norm". We picked a date and met at the Houston Food Park. WTF a food park?? YES!! It's seriously got the most amazing graffiti in Houston. Back to the story though lol. We shot for over an hour in 110+ degree weather. Between my blue hair dye dripping down my body and random people honking at us, we managed to get some great shots. She was so patient and helpful, especially since it was my first time in front of a camera! That night I started my Facebook fan page. In no time it blew up! I couldn't believe all the love my pics were getting. It was amazing to me, just a simple crazy hair colored chick. Thanks to Chelsey Dorman, Vivian Vanity was born! 

After meeting Chelsey I had stumbled upon a group of girls who also were living their dreams of modeling. I was shocked to see Vision of Punk was ran by just one man!! ONE! How he did it I have no idea, but he was busting his assets everyday to help all these girls. I owe a lot of my success to Andrew and the girls at V.O.P. They not only took me in as family, they helped encourage me to be who I am. No matter what society says. 

After a few weeks, a photographer named Andy Campos found me on Instagram. Shocker I know. His work was pure art. I immediately fell in love with his vision. We bonded over creative ideas and pure epicness was achieved. In the next few blogs I'll touch base on all of my shoots with Andy and others.

So still wondering who Vivian Vanity is? I'm just a girl looking to show others you can be the girl next door or the girl next door to the cemetery. (or dude lol) Either way, you're awesome! Stick around, I've got lots to show you guys! 

xoxo,
Viv
