Sophie Hatter costume - ROLECOSPLAY REVIEW [SPONSORED]

Hi guys!

Today I want to review an amazing costume I got sponsored by Rolecosplay, an amazing shop for cosplays, you should totally check them and make sure to use my coupon code "nymphahri" to get a GREAT discount on your orders!

The costume I received is Sophie Hatter's dress from Howl's Moving Castel, an amazing movie from Studio Ghibli. I always loved this masterpiece, and Sophie has always been in my next projects waiting for this to come true, and thanks to this collaboration it finally did!
A special thanks goes to my friend Rocco who made an amazing Howl, and the photographer Fabio De Leonardis that took all the amazing pics. You can find their credits on my Facebook page and Instagram page.

Photos:

The dress is really accurate and comfortable to wear, the fabric is quite thick so it's perfect for conventions taken in autumn or shootings just like the one I made here. (November)

 The quality of this costume is really high for the affordable price. The color is just perfect, as it should be. The size was okay too, I took an S and I usually wear an XS or S for my dresses. 

I totally recommend to buy this costume for your HMC cosplays! And let me see your photos if you're going to buy it too. =^^=

Hope this review was useful to you, see you at the next review!

Geo Bella Blue Lenses Review [SPONSORED by GEO LENSES]

Aaaand here we are with the second part of my last review!

Do you remember that I talked about a beautiful gift that Geo Lenses sent me with my last pair of lenses from our collaboration? Then, here it is!
They sent me the model called "Geo Bella Blue BS202" which I've never seen or tried before. 
Here's some photos:

Here's the lenses in their case. As you can see, the color is a deep blue.

One lens on compared to my natural color

Both lenses with camera flash

Both lenses on natural light

I'll be honest with you: when I first tried them I had to understand which color they looked on my eyes, and I'm still really undecided about it because they should be a dark blue but on my already dark eyes they look like...a deep gray? Or a light black? I really don't know, honestly! Anyway, even if the color is way different from how it should be I totally love this effect! And since I'm full of blue lenses at home, I surely prefer them to be this dark so I can can create more looks. :P

                                                                            OVERALL RATING:
Color: 3/5
I gave them a 3 because they look nothing like blue, but I still like them anyway. So...I don't know, that's really subjective, but I wouldn't suggest them to someone who needs a light and vivid color!
Comfort: 4.5/5
Enlargement: 5/5
They're so huge, and they make your eyes look reaaally big!
Design: 5/5
Love the dolly effect!


So, that's surely a particular model, I would suggest them for character with really dark eyes!

Geo Cherry Holic Turquoise Lenses Review [SPONSORED by GEO COLOURED LENSES]

Hi guys!

The lenses I'm going to review today are called Geo Cherry Holic Turquoise, and you can find that model on Geo Coloured Lenses, one of the best shops for your contact lenses. They have a large amount of models for each color, both perfect for cosplays and more natural looks. The prices are reliable and I never had a single problem with them, the communication with the service has always been good and they're always ready to help you if you have any questions or problems.


Let's proceed with the photos!

(both lenses on natural light)

(comparison on natural light with my eye color)

(both lenses with camera flash)

The first thing I thought when I tried this pair showed in the pics was "wow, this model is so beautiful and the color looks really natural!"

I've tried a lot of lenses in all of these years, both for cosplays and for everyday looks, this pair is a perfect combo in my opinion. You do understand that's not the color of a natural eye, but they don't look as fake as the classic "dolly lenses" that pretty much everyone uses for their costumes. According to me they're perfect for characters from comics (Marvel, DC, etc) or realistic videogames. 

                                                                OVERALL RATING:

Comfort: 4/5

One of the lenses moved a lot while wearing them, but it was the first time for me wearing this model here so maybe the reason for it is that they are still new. 

Color: 5/5

I really love this color, it's perfectly visible even of my dark eyes and the effect is amazing.

Enlargement: 3/5

The enlargement isn't much visible.

Design: 4/5

I've been cooperating with this shop for a year now, and I've always been really satisfied with their products. They also sent me a little gift with this pair I just showed you (another pair of lenses! I will review them too soon), they're always so kind and I totally suggest you to go buy some pieces.

Be sure to use my coupon code "nymphahri" at checkout to get a little discount!

Tamamo no Mae Wig Review [SPONSORED by L-EMAIL WIG]

Hello guys!

I've been away for Lucca Comics & Games and I had so much fun with my friends, Lucca is totally one of my favorite conventions ever, everyone should visit it at least one time, you'll fall in love!

Anyways, now I'm back with a special review made after my last convention because I needed the photos. :P
One of my favorite shops for cosplay wigs (which you can find here: L-Email Wig) sponsored me a fabulous wig for Tamamo no Mae, the cute foxy girl from Fate Grand Order and Fate Extella. She's one of my favorite characters from that serie and I totally had to cosplay her! Hopefully I will make other versions of this sweet cutie the next year.

Here's some photos:

The wig is composed by a short base and two ponytails, I had to style the bangs because they come longer, this is way better since it allows you to cut it according to your preferences.
The color of this wig is a beautiful salmon pink, Tamamo has a really variable color according to the different arts, sometimes it can be bubblegum pink and sometimes it is more similar to this wig I received.
But let's proceed with the full review!

                                                             OVERALL RATING:
Color: 4/5
This color is really beautiful, maybe a brighter shade would've been better but it's good anyway.
Softness: 5/5
Quality: 4.5/5
This wig is really soft and beautiful, it didn't tagle much during the shootings and the convention is general!
Comfort: 5/5
This is one of the most comfortable wigs with ponytails I ever had, usually they are really heavy and tangle a lot, this isn't like that at all!

I totally recommend this wig and this shop in general, this is the second collaboration I'm making with them and I've always been really satisfied with the products I received. The quality is amazing and the prices are really low for what they offer.
MAKE SURE TO USE MY DISCOUNT CODE "NYMPHAHRI" WHEN YOU ORDER FROM THEM! ❤

Tomoyo (CCS Clear Card) Costume & Wig review [SPONSORED by ROLECOSPLAY]

Who was your favorite character when you were just a child? I had way too many of them, one of my favorite shows back then was Card Captor Sakura and I used to love Tomoyo so much.
Thanks to Rolecosplay I've been able to make her cosplay and I'm so happy about this, that's such a dream coming true!

I'm gonna review her wig and costume, so here you are some full pics from my CCS shooting:

I can't tell how much I'm satisfied with this collaboration, the costume looks exactly like the photos show, the color of the wig is really beautiful and perfect for Tomoyo-chan and the lenght is okay as well. This version is the new one showed in the new Clear Card serie, not the same as her old outfit, but I honestly like it better!
The size is a small one, I usually take an XS or S but I must say that it is a little bit tight on my shoulders and arms, probably an M would have been better for me this time.
Anyways, that's the second collaboration this year for me with this shop and I still feel like recommending it, the costumes are really cute and they actually look like the photos show. That's an important thing when you buy online, always make sure to check the reviews!
I really hope this review was useful for you, remember to use my discount code: "nymphahri"!

Princess Pinky Eurasia Crystal Grey Review [SPONSORED by Pinky Paradise]

Hi everyone!

I reaaally wanted to try these new lenses by PinkyParadise, that's a new serie called Princess Pinky Eurasia which you can find in 4 amazing colors. I'm going to try and review 3 of them, that's amazing to me!
The first pair I'm gonna review is the Crystal Grey model, these ones are monthly lenses, so you need to change after 1 month from opening them.

Photos:

(both lenses on natural light)

(both lenses with camera flash)

(comparison lens/natural eye)

I don't know about you guys, but I find these ones completely amazing.
That's a pity that they can last one month only, I wish I can have them for more! I hope to make a lot of new looks with them before they expire.

                                                            OVERALL RATING:
Color: 5/5
They completely cover my dark brown eyes and they look quite natural even though this color is really...particular!
Enlargement: 1/5
I mean, that's not a negative point since this serie was made to make your eyes look as natural as possible.
Comfort: 5/5
They were really comfortable to wear, it's true that I only tried them for a couple hours to make this look, but I hope to not change idea!
Design: 5/5
I love how they look, that's an amazing effect.


The first pair was a complete success! Are you curious to see the other ones as well? Then...stay tuned on my blog and other social medias! ;)

Lolita wig review [SPONSORED by L-email Wig]

Hello guys, how have you been?

I usually review characters' costumes or wigs when I get to work with different shops, but this time I decided to try a beautiful pastel wig, perfect for a lolita themed outfit!
This super cute wig was kindly sponsored by L-email Wig, I've already worked with them in the past, and I've also bought different wigs for my cosplays. Their wigs have usually a really good quality for such affordable prices, if you're searching for a good wig for your next project then I suggest you to go take a look at their shop.
But now, let's start with the review!

Photos:

I decided to try a new pastel make-up for this look, and I love it so much!

                                                            OVERALL RATING:
Color: 5/5
I love this color, the gradient is so well done too.
Softness/Fiber: 5/5
It has a really nice quality, and the wig so soft!
Accuracy: 4/5
In the original image the bangs are already styled, but it actually arrives with a long fridge to cut as I did for these pics. Also, it doesn't have the back braid, but you can do it yourself without any problems.
Fullness: 4/5
That's not a thin wig neither the fullest I got, anyways you can see the hair cap where the bangs are, so I suggest you to use a natural one with a pale color so it doesn't show in your photos.
Service: 5/5
The service was so kind and realiable!

I'm satisfied with this choice, so I totally suggest this product. See ya at the next review!
IMPORTANT: Always remember to use my discount code nymphahri to get a 12% off your orders when you buy from them!

Maki Nishikino (Pirate Unidolized Cosplayver.) [SPONSORED by ROLECOS]

Hi guys!

After a long time I'm back again, this time I want to show you something different from a wig or a pair of lenses: I'm talking about a full costume.
As you already read on the title, this one is the Pirate version of Maki Nishikino from Love Live! School Idol Festival. The shop that kindly sponsored me this piece is called Rolecosplay. It sells a lot of popular cosplays, the prices are really good and you can find some pretty things here, there are a lot of choices for you expecially if you're new to this world and you can't really choose what to play first!

As always, I'll share some photos of what I received with you guys:

The full set includes: dress, two stockings, headband and a bow, three bracelets)

(Sorry for the mess in my room, lol)

Full look

In this selfie you can notice the details better, the buttons are really cute!

Headband details

Bracelets details

I'm satisfied with this costume, even if the accessories have been damaged during the travel I fixed all and now it looks like nothing happened!


                                                                OVERALL RATING:

Quality: 4/5
The quality of the costume isn't probably the best, but that's probably the best choice if you're searching for something that's both quite cheap and cute.
Shipping: 4.5/5
The shipping was quite fast! Too bad that some accessories were damaged during the travel, but nothing that's too bad.
Accuracy: 5/5
The costume just looks the same as the original character's version.
Price: 4/5
This item was sponsored, but the original price is $59.99.
Service: 5/5
They've been really kind to me, and when I explained that unfortunately I had to take some time to make the review because I had to adjust some things first they totally understood. About the sponsorship everything was well explained, and they always answered my e-mails.


Did you guys liked this look? I really hope so!
I would totally recommend this shop, expecially to the beginners. I really hope this review helped you choose your next cosplay, if you have some requests always remember to let me know with a message or a comment your preference! :)

See ya next time~

Monika (DDLC) wig Review [SPONSORED BY LUCAILLE]

Hi bunnies!

After a long time I'm gonna review a wig again, this is the first time I start a collaboration with Lucaille. I decided to take Monika's wig from Doki Doki Literature Club because I'm gonna cosplay her soon, and this was totally the best choice for me! This is also my first wig from Lucaille, I've always heard a lot of good things about this shop and finally I got the chance to try one of their amazing products.

The fiber of this wig is really good, it's so soft to touch! I always get a lot of problems with long wigs, they get to tangle a lot and sometimes I can't even save them, that's so sad for me! Monika has a long ponytail and it doesn't tangle as much as my other wigs do, I loved this thing so much.
The color is just perfect, it changes a bit with light but I think that this is just the most accurate shade I saw for her (and I searched for this wig through a lot of shops).

I totally recommend buying from this shop, the quality is beyond amazing and it didn't even take too long to arrive (two weeks or less than a month for sure).
It also offers a good variety of wigs, and the bangs are already styled in most cases (just like this one, even if I will probably cut them a little bit just to shape my face better).

Have you already bought your wigs from this shop? Would you recommend it?
I really hope to try more of them in the future!
See you at the next review =^^=

Color: 3/5
The color doesn't show really much on my dark eyes, I can't say if it depends on my particular eye color or if it's the model in general!

Design: 5/5
I really like the design, it's so particular yet cute.

Comfort: 5/5
As always I never have problems with Geo's lenses, they are all so comfy, I can barely feel them!

Enlargement: 5/5
This model gives you the puppy look, they are so perfect for cosplays expecially for cute and sweet characters.


I'm pretty satisfied with this model, I hope to wear them soon for a cute look or costume!

Review EOS New Adult Green [SPONSORED by PinkyParadise]

Hi guys!

I recently made a new collaboration with a popular lenses shop called PinkyParadise, I'm sure many of you already heard of it!
This is also the shop where I bought my first pair of circle lenses, back in 2013 if I'm not wrong, aww such memories!
The pair of lenses I'm going to review is called "EOS New Adult Green"; maybe you already noticed that I've got different colors from this brand: well, it is my favorite one ever! All the colors are so bright, the design is just perfect for fictional and anime characters in particular so I was really curious about the green shade and I wasn't disappointed at all by it!
Let's proceed with some photos:

(comparison with my natural eye color)

(both lenses on natural light)

(both lenses with flash)

(full cosplay effect: do you like my 002? =^^=)

Sooo, I'm REALLY satisfied with these ones!

                                                                OVERALL RATING:
Color: 5/5
Design: 5/5
Comfort: 5/5
Enlargement: 5/5

What else can I say? The EOS New Adult serie is just perfect for cosplays! Obviously, they will not give you a natural look at all, this is for sure. xD
I totally recommend you to buy these for your favorite characters, they also come in different shades such as: Grey, Blue, Violet, Pink, Gold.
The service was really good too, so I suggest you to buy from them, they've got a wide choice of lenses for your looks~
See you next time! ❤

BNHA Uraraka & Tsuyu wigs review [SPONSORED BY BHINER COSPLAY]

Hi guys!
After a really long time I'm back again with a new wig review; but this time I'm going to review two amazing wigs together.
Both of them were kindly sponsored by Bhiner Cosplay; first of all let me explain what it is.
Bhiner is an agent who helps you order from Taobao, a popular chinese site which sells a lot of high quality and cheap products for cosplays. To order from it you need to contact a seller in China, so this is why Bhiner exist: to help you making it easier! I'm really happy I could start a collaboration with them, the items I received are just perfect and the same as the photos. They are really kind: everytime the items arrive they send you some photos of how they look before sending them to you!
But now let's start!
The items I received are Uraraka and Tsuyu's wigs, two popular characters from Boku no Hero Academia. Here's some photos of how they look:

(I also received two wig caps and a cute little hand mirror!)

(Tsuyu's wig)

(as you can see the wig has both green and black fibers, so the color is really dark: it's just perfect for this character!)

(the bangs are already styled: obviously is always better to adjust them anyway!)

And now let's proceed with Uraraka's wig:

(OMG this is just so accurate! What else can I say?)

(the color is the same as Uraraka's hair, the bob is so cute and fluffy tho!)

(even here the bangs are already styled, I think that in this case you can leave them like this, they're super okay ^^)

As I already said I'm totally satisfied with this collab! I really hope to make more of them so I can show you other amazing items to cosplay your favorite characters in the best way :D

                                                            OVERALL RATING:
Quality: 5/5
I mean guys: the quality of these wigs is really amazing, they are soft and they don't tangle at all!
Color: 5/5
The colors of both of them are 100% accurate.
Service: 5/5
The staff is so kind and always available!
Final rating: 4.5/5
I didn't give 5 out of 5 just for one little thing: when Bhiner sent me the photos of the wigs the Tsuyu's ones included her bow, but when I received the package it wasn't there, so I was a little disappointed by that and that's the reason why I couldn't give them a full rating. Other than that I loved everything about the service and what I received!

Be sure to follow them also on Facebook and Instagram and feel free to mention me or my blog if you want to order something from them!~
Hope this review was useful for you guys, see you next time! =^^=
