Sheinside Review #2

Hello guys! Today I'm going to review... *drum roll*

MY PINK LAME SWEATSHIRT FROM SHEINSIDE~!

I managed to get my hands on this really cute sweatshirt that I have been wanting for quite some time now. Pink is one of my absolute favorite colors, and prints like this ones. It's quite charming and fun, I think!

As usual, my order reached my post office about 1,5 week after the order was made. I think that's really good, and quite fast for shipping.

The sweatshirt itself is made out of cotton, and it's really stretchy, and soft, nice to wear. The size of it is a one size, and you can find the measurements when you click the link to the website, down below!

Pink Lame Sweatshirt

As I have said before, I'm a sucker for sweatshirts of all kinds. And now when it's summer, it might not always be very convenient when it's hot and so on. But this sweatshirt actually didn't get to hot, even though I wore it a quite hot day. That was definitely a big plus.

The price was 18.24 $+shipping!

The pink colors were just as described, or I mean, from what I saw on my screen when I chose it. The pink has a soft pink tone, and the text is very clear. The print is a good quality one, and soft. It wasn't hard, and didn't make me feel uncomfortable when wearing it. I couldn't find any possible defects or anything, and it was just really great. I'm a very happy customer~!

Here are some pictures of it!





And here is me wearing it! UwU

Thank you for reading, I hope you liked it!

I'm in a teen magazine!



So today I got it! The magazine that I was itnerviewed for several months ago! It was so crazy to see that picture of me on the front page, even though it was small. It wasn't THAT small, and it looked pretty cool!

They whole thing is in Swedish, and I think it's only available in Sweden, and maybe Denmark, Finland and Norway at some places? I'm not sure. But anyhow, it's about my life, school, cosplay, acting, and a little bit of everything really. I'm so happy with it and it such a big deal for me! I was so excited so many months ago when I got the message that they wanted to interview me and all. 
It's jusr crazy that they were interested in me and what I'm doing!
Ahhh I just needed to share this with you. And I hope people understands that I'm not the one who gave the tips on how to be a good cosplayer, because to me a good cosplayer is a happy cosplayer, not someone with the best wigs, makeup, lenses, nails, materials or whatever. It's someone who's having fun when cosplaying!

I can't wait to start on all the other projects I have in mind, and continue the ones I have started. There's so many things I want to do, and so little time. At least it feels like it. 

I want to thank you for all the nice comments lately. It means a lot to me. Your support makes me stronger and makes me feel inspired to keep on going. I love you all, lots. 

Chuu cuties~!

Miccostumes Cooperation

Hi guys! I have some exciting news!

After talking to Miccostumes, they have decided they want to sponsor me with a costume from their website!

Since I'm working a lot with acting, shows and my host club, I looked through their website a bit, and I was choosing between a Ciel costume, a Uta no prince sama school uniform and a Kamigami Loki costume. In the end, I ordered one of Ciel's blue outfits, that I now will wait for to arrive, so I can do a review on it and use it for sketches, my host club, photoshoot and lots of other stuff. I'm super excited about it.

Here is the costume I will review!

Black Butler Ciel Cosplay

I can't wait to do it, hhhh! I made sure to look up the company and since a friend had ordered from there before, and gotten a really nice costume, I'm not feeling worried at all.

Ciel is a cosplay I have wanted to do properly for a long time now, but I don't have the money for the right fabric for a good Ciel cosplay, so this is a great opportunity. Since Sebastian has a full Sebastian Michaelis cosplay, I can't wait for all of the photoshoots! He ordered a neew wig for me recently, and a company called "Alice and rabbit" is interested in sponsoring me with a Ciel-lense (cursed eye lens, pentagram star). I really want to do a great Ciel cosplay since I adore the poor boy. I can't wait for the 3rd season of Kuroshitsuji to air!

So that was it for now guys! See you!~

I'M GONNA EXPLODE


It honestly feels like I'm going to explode. Tomorrow is the day. Tomorrow Sebastian is coming to Stockholm. I haven't seen him since April. So about 2 months. I spent the Easter holiday with him, and it was probably one of the best Easters ever. Now after being apart for so long again, we will finally unite, to stay together for one month. 2 weeks at my place, 2 weeks at his. Then one week apart before he comes back, so that we can go to Närcon together. After that he's stay for another week before I go to Malmö and Gothenburg, to visit Lotta and Therese, and to go to Liseberg and see Niklas perform. 

Sometimes, the feeling of missing Sebastian is so unbearable, I don't know what to do. But we've managed for almost 9 months now. Soon it will be one year since I saw him for the the first time. At Närcon 2013, when he was cosplaying as Sebastian Michaelis from Kuroshitsuji, and I didn't have the courage to say hi to him or anything. I'm so happy I dared to add him on Facebook and write to him afterwards. Just the memories of how shy I was makes me giggle, blush and smile like a little kid. Oh well, I'm so happy with this person. My no.1 baka. 

Anyhow, today was pretty weird, but okay. I had a lot of things to think of, and I'm trying to fix everything that I will be working with at cons and so on during summer. I got up at 7 am to go to Stockholm with my foster dad Johan at 8, since then I don't have to pay for the train. Also, going by car is rather comfy... Anyhow, it was because I was supposed to meet a friend at 12, but some things happened, and she overslept, so we never got to meet since I was feeling pretty down. So I went to Johan's job (a restuarant), and sat upstairs in an empty dining room, playing Sims 2, making schedules, and price lists and so on, for like 4 hours. He got me lemon Fanta though, and it was sweet. 

Afterward we went home, and I slept in the car since I was so tired. Well, at home, I thought I should take care of myself a bit, sooo I redyed my hair! Which I also just cut like one of my favorite youtubers, Aquamarin. I'm happy with it, even though I dislike my face form and exposing too much of my face. I like hiding it with my hair, especially my forehead... so this is a bit odd!

I'm going to take a look at an apartment tomorrow night probably, and then go and spend the night with Sebastian at his sister's place, before we might visit my school the next day, and then retreat to my home! I'm so looking forward to this and I really, really miss my silly boyfriend.

I hope you're all enjoying the summer that is sweeping across big parts of the world, because I do!

Chuu chuu puppies!


New haircut... and tonight I'm re-dying it pink pink pink!

♡ Maple Lens Review ♡



So hi again guys! Another review is up, and this time it's for a compaay called Maple Lens. You can find the logo of the company in the sponsor section here in my blog.

Here's a link to the website: www. MapleLens.com

I have heard some of this company before I got these lenses, and I had heard some good critique about them, so honestly, I was happy to be sponsored by them!

I got to pick a pair, and the lenses I went with was a pair I have been longing to get for so long.
A pair of EOS Candy Blue Lenses! I think the design is really nice, and I specifically like the really dark, thick rim around it, so yeah.

The shipping was quite fast. I don't really remember exactly, but I think it was under 2 weeks. Sometimes when you order circle lenses it can take to up to 4 weeks, and that wait is just awful.

When I got these lenses I also got a cute animal case with them!



Right after I purchased these lenses, I decided that I will cosplay Kuroko Tetsuya from Kuroko No Basuke. And I realized these would be perfect for him!

These lenses has a cool blue color, that is really bright before yo put them in, but for me, who has slightly dark eyes, they turn darker, of course. They show off the blue color rather well, and I like the cute look they give.  A bit like, this creepy doll look.

The lenses were comfortable, not at all hard to put in if you know what you are doing. The size of these are 14.8 millimeters, which is slightly bigger than normal contacts, which usually are 14-14.2 millimeters.

I found these really good if I want to go for a more natural look, that yet is a bit... drastic or extreme, just a little like that. And also, like I said, they are just perfect for Kuroko-cosplayers.

These lovely lenses costs 18.90$ plus shipping, and they're totally worth the prize. I recommend these, especially for cosplayers, or for you who want to create a cute dolly look with nice, blue 'innocent' eyes! They are even available in more colors than blue. 







So that was it for this time. Thank you for reading! Please leave a comment to tell me what you think of this, or to leave suggestions ^__^

Chuuuu!





Friday The 13th ♡ Giveaway winner and TV-project


So Friday the 13th is supposed to be a day full of bad luck, right? It's never really been like that for me. I remember, years ago, maybe 8 years ago, when I got my first cellphone on friday the 13th. And other good things use to happen that day, at least to me. But this year, that special friday took the 1st prize. 

It started out with me sleeping in really late. But when I finally got up, I decided to make the phone call I had been supposed to make for weeks. I called SVT, Swedish Television, about a project they might be interested in. The boss at the documentary department clearly showed interest, but told me I had to find a production company and a film crew who had interest in my idea, and then come back to them. So I emailed my teacher in move making/media, and asked him for advice. He gave me the email to an old student of his, named Nikeisha Andersson, who currently has her own company, a very successful one, only at the age of 21. She works with musicians and singers such as Anton Ewald, Darin, Avichii and many more. 


I quickly sent her an email. When she replied, I thought my heart would stop. She hadn't kindly written that she didn't work with such things, or didn't have time for it. She simply replied that she would call me in five minutes. I literally screamed out loud and scared the shit out of my dogs. 

Five minutes passed. Ten minutes. Twenty minutes. She didn't call, and I got a little anxious. But she emailed me later and told she would call in a while. And eventually she did!

We talked for a good twenty minutes, before we hung up. I had met her once, back at my school, when she came to talk about her job. And now after talking more to her, I really felt that I liked her. And she had said YES. She wanted to work with me with this! It made me totally over joyed! 

And not many minutes later, I got a new email. This time, from a blogger I follow. Arachnocat, actually. And what does the email say? THAT I HAVE WON A PASTEL PINK NINTENTO 3DS XL WITH POKEMON X, ANIMAL CROSSING NEW LEAF AND STAR FOX 64. 

I just couldn't believe it. I was panting and silently screaming, scaring my dogs once again, but HELL, this was just too much! So much luck in one day! And I really, really needed it, because I had been feeling rather crappy. 

I feel so thankful and happy! So many nice things happening to me all at once. I wish I could just... pour some of my luck at some of my friends as well, but yeah... I'm doing my best to help them too! 


I'm just so, so happy about this and it's so hard to get over. 

But yay for luck! ; u ; 

I just needed to make this little rant... thank you for reading guys!

Byeeee for now! 

Friday 13 June 2014

Thank you ♡

Yesterday, I realized just how very, very lucky I am. Sure, some days, I feel like total shit. Who doesn't? You need those days to be able to shine brighter other days.

I mean, I could have been homeless. I could have lived in a home where I was physically beaten. I could have been addicted to drugs, or alcohol. I could have went to a school where the teacher didn't care. I could have been all alone, without friends, and without a boyfriend who loves me. I could have been so poor, I couldn't even eat a proper meal every day, much less EVER shop anything just because I want the thing, and not because I desperately need it to live.

I have so much to be thankful for, and happy about. Even though I no longer have any contact with my dad, I have my mom. Sure, she has her illness, which has caused me to move away from her, and live with foster parents, but she's alive, and she loves me. That's all I need. It's sad to see her suffer, but I do what I can to help. My foster dads are AMAZING. So supporting, loving, helpful and caring. I have never really felt this at home ever, I think. I'm fully accepted for who I am, and what I believe in. My biggest addiction in life, is not crack, or vodka. It's probably Lemon Fanta, cosplay and anime. And that's not all that bad really. I have such great friends, who supports me, and show me lots of love. Of course I've had friends that just didn't work with me, so we 'broke up' more or less, but that's life. Jealousy, mistakes, misunderstandings and changed feelings and thoughts makes that happen. But you'll always find new friends. I love my friends so much, and they're my family. I don't feel like I would be myself without them. 


On top of that, I also have an amazing boyfriend, and even though he lives 12 hours away by train, and we can't see each other all that often, I'm so happy to have him, and he's of course one of the most important people in my life. I love him with all my heart, and he's my best friend.

I go to a school where the teachers are so helpful and really understands you, and if they don't, they really try. I wouldn't be living with such a great foster family today, if they hadn't supported me, helped me, and yelled so much at the social services. *laughs*

I have money to spend on things I need, but also things I want. I have enough money to eat out some times, I have money for clothes, makeup, wigs and cosplay. I have money to buy materials, and run my own, actually rather successful online store, which brings in some extra pocket money. I'm so, so happy about that, since crafting is one of my greatest passions, and just started out as a therapy. But sure, I'm not rich, but I can live really good for an 18 years old, like this.

I have so many things that I'm happy about in life. Why ignore this, to think of everything that's bad? Really, okay. So my dad won't talk to me anymore. Sure, that hurts, like getting hit in the face with a chair. But it's his loss. I have my gay foster dads, and friendly dads. Sure, they can never replace my dad, but if he's acting the way he is now, then I'll let him be that way. I have others that makes me happy, and accepts me.

I have many negative things, if I list them, but really, why do that when I can focus on positive stuff? Sometimes it's hard, but then I'll just try harder.

I have things to live for. Acting, cosplay, crafting, film making, friends, family, writing, dreaming, blogging, all of that. And also, I live for helping. I want to help others in need, who has the same problems, or problems that are alike the once I have.

My friends, family, school, and also of course all my internet friends and followers have helped me so much, to climb from the darkest, dirtiest pit, to where I am now, actually pretty far above the ground. Not too far though. But I have a great view from up here. And I can see what has to be done.

So I want to say thank you, for every compliment, every cute message, drawing, picture, everything. It means more than you all probably ever will know. I save it up, all of it, in my heart and mind. Also, even haters, thank you for your comments, your insults, everything. It has made me strong, and made me see my own flaws from another light, and that they're not as bad as I thought they were.

Lots of love, Jack

♡ Summer Closet Update ♡


So I'm looking for some new clothes for summer since I've gotten rid of some stuff that no longer fit me, and my foster dads' are helping me with money, so I'll be able to shop some! ;w;

So last week or something, I got my package from Sheinside and I was soooo pleased. Therefore I have decided to take a look at the website once again, since I'm getting tired of all the local clothing stores and eBay. So I found some cute stuff that I really, really loved, and it's definitely something I'm planning to get my hands on very soon!

Galaxy prints have always been a favorite of mine, and so has dinosaurs and geeky stuff too. And pastel colors... that's one of my later obsessions! Just can't get over how cute pastel stuff makes you look!

Piercing Haul (Crazy Factory)


So you guys know I have a few piercings! And you have also asked where I get my piercings. When I don't buy spare ones for emergency times at a local shop called Punkt Shop in Stockholm, I have one store that I call my favorite!

It's an online based store called Crazy Factory, who specialize in all kinds of piercings and nice jewelry! You can find anything from earrings, labrets, barbells, spirals, tunnels and much more, to piercing tools, whole sale products, necklaces, rings and temporary tattoos!


The first time I got things from them was when I only was stretching my ears, and a friend of mine helped me to order spirals and tunnels. I remember I also bought some gorgeous pendants back then. 
When you order from their site, for more than 200 SEK/30$/20
€, you get free shipping. So I advice you to order with somebody if you don't want to order that much, because it's always worth it! WHen they ship items for you, it always goes really fast. It always takes less than 2 weeks for me. 

I want to say that the service at Crazy Factory is always great. They respond very fast, and they are polite and very clear. If there's a problem, they'll help you and solve it!

As I said, they have a big variety of piercings of all kinds, so there's a lot to choose from, and anyone can find something they like. And 

the prices are AMAZING. You won't get broke just from buying a few piercings! It's great! I have never found a store with better prices, and with that quality.

My last package from them included a lot of nice piercings I've been longing to get. Since I got my belly button pierced, I ordered some new piercings for it, along with new ones for my septum, and ears. 

(I wrote this review before summer but now I'm updating it with better pictures, and some piercings disappeared when I moved, but I will get a better Haul Video up later)

My plugs, tunnels and spirals are all 8 mm, since that's my size. As for my septum piercings, I have 1.2-1.6 mm, and a diameter of 10 mm usually. 



Here is a few closeups. 






Here are pictures of some of them! You've probably seen other pictures of me wearing these, in social media like Instagram and Facebook. I'll leave the links to these items here, below!







I really suggest that you take a look at their website when you have the time, if you're into piercings, or just jewelry! You can find something for yourself, or maybe a friend! 

Go and visit CrazyFactory.com to see more and enjoy a little bit of shopping!

Chuuuu!~

♡ Pinky Paradise Review ♡

A new lens circle review! This time it's the EOS Dolly Eye Green lenses, from Pinky Paradise.

I have been looking for nice green lenses for soooo long. My eyes already have a green tone, but I wanted a more vivid green color, especially for my cosplays such as Grell Sutcliff and Raito Sakamaki. I already have the same model, but in pink, so I was sure these were going to fit the purpose. And they sure did!

These cuties are 14.2 millimeters, and I got them in plano since I have a rather difficult eyeproblem and my prescription costs a fortune if there even are toric lenses that I can use. The life span of these lenses are 12 months, if you take care of them well!

I found these easy to put in, even though they were slightly hard to adjust to my eye in the beginning. It took a short while before I got used to them and didn't feel them at all. The color is so vibrant and nice, green like summer fields or emeralds!

They cost 25.90$ + shipping, and you get a free, cute lens case when you buy them ^__^

♡ CLICK HERE ♡

Use this link in order to get to the website!

(It's a tracking link, so by clicking it, and buying something, you help me to track my sales, and that would make me very thankful!)


Here are some closeups of the lenses what they look like!
1. One eye with lens, one eye without lens.
2. Both lenses in.
3. Closeup of lens in eye.





    

Thank you for reading this review! I hope it helped you! Pinky Paradise has such amazing lenses!

Sheinside Review


Hi guys! So today I'll be doing a Sheinside review!

Two days ago, I got a notification saying that I had a package waiting for me at the post office. Sooo I managed to get a ride to go and get it, and it turned out to be my Sheinside package! 

So I'm going to show you the pieces of clothing that I have chosen ^__^

First of all, I want to write about the customer service though. It was EXCELLENT. I got my questions answered right away, there were no trouble, and I even got some responses earlier than expected. And about the shipping time now, it was about 1,5 week ago since my order was shipped, so it was nice and fast too!



The sweater itself.

Me~


Closeup of some details.


So first, let's talk about this Grey Hoodie.

This is a one size hoodie, but you can find the measurements if you click the link to it!

http://www.sheinside.com/Grey-Hooded-Long-Sleeve-Drawstring-Loose-Sweatshirt-p-160530-cat-1773.html 

It do look a bit different from the picture on the website, since the strings appears to be thicker than they are, but it still looks really nice when I'm wearing it, and I'm not at all disappointed. The quality is so nice! I was worried I'd get a super thick sweatshirt, so that I wouldn't be able to wear it now during summer, like I had planned, but that wasn't the case at all! It's perfect for chilly summer morning and evenings, or when it's a bit chilly and rainy.

I couldn't find any loose threads or any parts of this piece of clothing was poorly made. It fits good, feels good, and looks good! Since I'm a sucker for hoodies and sweatshirts, this was just perfect for me. It also has this cool zipper on the back, like at the hip, and that's cool and stylish. It's simple, but that makes it fit to sooo much, and I have longed to have a hoodie like this added to my clothes collection.  


Now about this printed sweatshirt!




(My dog wanted to join hehe)





RYUK. FROM. DEATH. NOTE.

Oh my god, when I saw this sweatshirt I was whimpering from how badly I wanted it, and it was an easy choice. I have loved the anime Death Note since I was like, 12 or 13, and I just love the character Ryuk. Also... I am so weak for any kind of sweatshirts, especially printed ones like these. Sure, they're not handy in summer times, but I love them loads.

This one was so soft and nice to wear! It's not made of any... 'bluh-this-feels-so-strange-to-wear'-material. It's a one size sweatshirt made out of Polyester. The print looks really good, it's clear and colorful, and the fabric itself is good quality. I loooove it!

I want more anime inspired clothes, so this was perfect for me, and I don't want to take it off... it's too nice. //sighs

Anyhow, it costs 27.89$ right now, because it's on sale, and here you have the link!


http://www.sheinside.com/Blue-Long-Sleeve-Skull-Print-Loose-Sweatshirt-p-159166-cat-1773.html 

The shipping is 4.99$ if you chose Standard shipping, but I think you get free shipping on orders above 30$!

Make sure to visit their website, because they have so much nice clothes!

So if you have any questions, or want to tell me something, please leave me a comment. But this was it for now.

♡ LensCircle Review #2 ♡

So this is my 2nd review for a company called LensCircle. They are the ones sponsoring me with lenses at times, as well as they sponsor my current giveaway. (If you haven't entered, please feel free to do so at the top of my blogspot. Make sure to enter before 15th of June 2014! You can win a pair of free circle lenses, free of choice from LensCircle.com!)

Anyhow, as we talked about the giveaway I was going to be having as soon as I hit 6000 followers on Instagram, they offered to send me my second pair of lenses from them. Of course I gladly accepted, since my last pair of lenses from them were so precious!

So the lenses I picked were Magic Circle Lens Black in the color Angel Black. They are 14.7 mm wide, and they gives a really nice effect to your eyes. They have this nice, black color, that creates a thick rim around your iris, but still lets you see your natural eye color underneath. I have quite boring eyes, so I really liked the effect, because it made me look a lot more "fierce" at the same time as it gave a kind of dolly look. I think that if you already have a very clear color, such as bright grey, a nice blue, brown or green color, these would be just AMAZING for you. But it fits for everyone who doesn't want to change eye color completely and just wants some nice effects. 

These lenses were comfortable, just like the previous ones. I didn't have any problem putting them in, taking them out, and my eye didn't get irritated while I was wearing them.

They cost 34.95 USD, and when you buy them, you get a free lens case, a lens care card, as well as a nice bag to keep your lenses in!

I totally recommend these, for anyone who wants a nice change with their eyes, or to anyone who's into alternative fashion/Japanese fashion or cosplay. 


Upper picture: Size difference compared to my eye without a lens.

Middle picture: Look with booth lenses on. 


Third picture: Closeup on my eye while wearing the lens.


Picture to the right:
Just a selfie with me wearing them together with my wig from SpreePicky!




Remember that you can get 10% any order above 30 USD from SpreePicky if you use my Code Jackocalypse!

So you really should check LensCircle.com out because they are one of my favorite lens stores!
