Bodyartforms Body Jewelry Review!

So, for Black Friday/Cyber Monday I decided to splurge on some things for myself.

I've been wanting some more things for my industrial piercing.  A few months ago, 
I switched from the bar I got when I was pierced to some cheap bars I purchased 
from OwlStory, and EVERY bar I got made my ear itch, and the paint eventually 
cracked and came off.  (Since then, OS has closed.  Kind of suspicious.)

SO, I was very excited when I came across Bodyartforms, and 
all their reviews were positive, and their items were inexpensive.
I picked out a few bars, and they arrived less than two days later!


SHIPPING:

I opted for eco-shipping, which means that all the items are packed in as 
little plastic as possible.  Everything arrived in a thin Priority Mail envelope.

Bubble-wrapped envelope inside.

With every order, you have the option of receiving some free items!
One of them is a logo decal in your color choice.  (Another is a basic piece of jewelry [I picked a plain industrial bar], which I didn't actually receive, unfortunately.)

Eveything is packed in these small jewelry bags.  Once you break the seal,
you are ineligible for returns, exchanges or refunds!

My invoice.  As you can see, everything was pretty inexpensive!
I bought these during a 30% off sale as well.





After unpackaging this one, I did notice that the color is painted on.  I'm a bit skeptical, 
after my previous experience with painted barbells, but we'll see.

I'm super happy with the items I received, despite not getting my free barbell.
They all seem very well made and cute.  I'm definitely going to 
purchase more in the future!

SculptRenaissance Sponsored Review #2: Ravenclaw Ring!



I was lucky enough to receive a few things from this amazing store on Etsy!
The owner, Beverly, hand-etches all of her items, and 
also makes mini-figures and other jewelry.


Her rings start around $5, and go up depending on if you want an inner message 
or even have the etchings painted!

SculptRenaissance offers all the houses, house colors, and either the House 
name or emblem!  This is the 6mm band in blue with the Ravenclaw name 
in plain script.
The ring is offered in both 6mm (Sz 3-9) and 8mm (Sz 8-16).

The color is exquisite, and true to the House.  Blue has always been my favorite color, 
and I'm super happy with how it looks!  You also have the option of 
having the carving painted, but I love a blue/silver combo, so I stuck with it.

Beverly, the shop owner, is extremely skilled in her craft, 
and the script is amazing!  It's perfectly even, and super professional.
If you'd like, you can also have a short message etched onto the inside of the ring!


I LOVE THIS!  The series has been a part of my life since I was a kid, and I've always affiliated myself with Ravenclaw. This is a gorgeous addition to my House stuff.  I think I can wear this for any occasion!

Shipping was SUPER fast!  My package arrived a couple days after shipping.  SculptRenaissance ships all over the world, and all the options are fairly inexpensive.  They are packed very lightly to save customers shipping cost, so my 5 items plus business cards, receipt, and bubble wrap all fit inside my letter-size PO Box!  This is awesome for PO Box-ers because you don't have to wait in line to pick it up!

SculptRenaissance also takes commissions, so if you don't see the design or figure you're looking for, send her a message!  She's extremely accommodating!

Celeb Nudy Pink Circle Lens Review


[Link]

Available: Plano to -10.00
Yearly
BC: 8.6mm
Diameter: 14.5mm
Water Content: 38%


Packaging:

The order came in a large bubble wrap-lined FedEx envelope.  Inside that 
was the brown envelope which held the box.  VERY secure!

The box contains a thank you card and a notice about the LV Instagram 
selfie contest!

Under the padding are the lenses and cases.  I really like that LensVillage 
makes the most of space so that my stuff wasn't rattling around 
in a big box or envelope.

Unlike other circle lens shops, LensVillage uses simple cases in different colors.
They have a hint of glitter, too.  I like to color-code which lenses go in which cases, 
so these pink lenses went in the pink case


Review:
Regular ol' eyes.

There we go.  I got these lenses with Roxy or Mom Lalonde in mind.
LV was having a sale on several types of lenses from $10-$15, 
so I snatched these up to use til I can get my goal pair.


Color:  The pink is subtle, but noticeable.  I really like it!

Pattern: It's not quite a jewel tone, but it reminds me of the opacity.  It blends really well and doesn't obviously show where it meets my actual iris.

Enlargement: Kind of enlarging, but nothing crazy.

Comfort:  Super comfy!
