Fashion Fashion Baby

Today I've been rather productive! I've made a review, I managed to film a makeup video and try out my Loki Laevatein cosplay look for the first time. I also made a rather important video as well, and I managed to edit them. I went shopping some new bleach and other stuff with my foster dad, and I cuddled with my dogs to cheer up and stop thinking about negative things.

There are so much drama going on right now I can barely believe it. But I was talking to my darling Emily on Skype for quite a while, and that cheered me up an awful lot! I also browsed through Sheinside's website again, and I have to admit that I'm already longing for some new pieces for my autumn closet... <//3






Grey Drape Neck Sleeveless T-Shirt
Sure, it's not very colorful, but I'm just like... look at it? Fancy, cool and aweeeesomesauce ; n ;

I will make sure to save up, especially for those leather pants, heheheh...

If you are curious, just check Sheinside.com out, because they have LOADS of clothes, and many of mine come from there. Sooo yesssuuu!

See you soon guys~!

Sheinside Review #3

Hi guys~ 

Just when I went to Närcon I received a package with clothes from Sheinside! 

... And of course, as the sweatshirt dork I am, it's two new of them. 


When I was a kid, I was a huge fan of Monsters Inc. I could rewatch the movie over and over again, and I ever really got tired of it. I loved Mike so much, even tho Sully always was my favorite, because I thought Mike was so cute and bitter. 


It's a one size shirt, and I find it suuuuper comfy. It's a polyester sweatshirt, and the measurements for it the following:


Sleeves: 62 cm

Shoulders: 45 cm

Bust: 116 cm
Length: 71 cm


The price for this shirt of green awesomeness is 28.77$, plus shipping!

Some people are usually like 'nuuhh ew not polyester', but I actually like it quite a bit? It has a funny feeling, but I really do like it. Even though it's a slightly strange material I kind of think it's good for sweatshirts like this.

So if you're into odd styles, if you like Monsters Inc, or if you just like this sweatshirt, it's definitely worth it. 









This sweat shirt is a black, printed one. It's not all that thick, but not all that thin either. I saw it when I was scrolling through the pages with clothes, and I started giggling since I imagined Ciel from Black Butler wearing one, while wearing cat ears (now when I have it, I wore it as Ciel, with a collar, leash and cat ears, while Sebastian cosplayed Sebastian and wore a shirt that said 'Boyfriends makes nice pets'....). I choose this piece of clothing since I found it really cute, and I'm really fond of shirts with funny, cute or just cool text prints. So this was a must. 

I got myself a M, but it's available from XS up to XXL. You can find the measurements if you click the link to the shirt! I found that the M was really small, just perfect size for me, if not just slightly too small, and I usually go for XS. So I really think you should be careful when checking the measurements. 

It's a rather soft and comfortable sweat shirt, and since I picked the smallest size it's a liiiiittle tight, but I like it lots anyway. The fabric is good quality, it's made out of cotton, and the only sliiightly negative thing I have to say about it is that there are tiny yellow spots/dots in the print, as if it was colored wrong or as if it's a defect. But the thing is, you only see it if you look, really, REALLY close, so it's not a problem really. It fits me so well and I love to use it for my casual Ciel.

The price is 33.17$, and if you order above 30$ you get FREE shipping, so there will not be any shipping cost.




So make sure to check out www.sheinside.com for these and other cute, stylish and awesome clothes!

Chuuu! ~

Närcon 2014 - Reika, Kaname, Eat Your Kimchi and love ♡


So I'm now home from the con Närcon, in Linköping! I spent 4 long days there, with a lot of friends and my gorgeous husbando. I hosted a Free!-panel, I was selling things in the Artist Alley, and I also spent a lot of time looking for my idols, and being a photographer. I was constantly attacked with hugs, nice words and gifts, and it really raised my mood several times!

There was a lot of unnecessary drama, but hey, what's a convention without some drama? I had fun, and I got to meet some really cool people, old friends, new friends, Instagram friends and more. I got to cosplay Yatta Misaki, Laito Sakamaki, Ciel Phantomhive, Kise Ryouta, Hibari Kyouya, Nagisa Hazuki and it was a lot of fun really, since I got to cosplay with my friends, and just have fun.

I got to meet some foreign friends, like Shawn, Sammy and Raven, which was super fun, and it gave a special feel, since they come from so very far away, speaks different languages and just live in a place different from this. I'm excited to go and visit cons outside Sweden whenever I can afford it, and have the courage to, and hopefully some company, and maybe I'll begin with Genki in Denmark next year, or some con in England it I can get my dear Emily to go with me.

I also got to meet Reika and Kaname, two really amazing Japanese cosplayers that I admire. I met Reika in February and she was really nice. I got to take a photo with Kaname this time, since I already had two pictures with Reika. He was super sweet, and complimented my costume, and said that my Ciel lens was cool, we talked about Sebastian since Kaname was the one who got him into cosplaying, and then he hugged me twice. Ahhhh he was just A-D-O-R-A-B-L-E?




It was cosy to just cosplay a lot again, walk around the shop rooms, see everyone else's cosplays, and talk to followers, fellow con people, and other people I admire a lot. And thanks to my dear friend Nathalie, I'm going to compete in the cosplay competetions at Närcon Winter and Närcon (Summer) during 2015, and it's just gonna be so much fun. I'm excited to work with her and make these cosplays, and I'm sure they're gonna turn out to be super rad in the end since she's so skilled and amazing. 
Nathy after the cosplay contest!


I got to meet Simon and Martina (EatYourKimchi)!


... boobies. <3

Candy!
Batsu Game with AKBabes and Eat Your Kimchi!

Me and my brother Johannes~!

My Ciel/Drocell costume from CosplaySky.com! 
(Review up soon!)


Närcon <3

To finish this I just want to say that I had a super great time and I don't regret going. Sure there was some drama going on, and there were some people there that I wish I hadn't met, but that's life. It can't be happy and perfect all the time, and most was good anyway. And now I'm gonna lay down in my own bed, and go to sleep with my boyfriend and snoring dogs.

Goodnight lovelies, there will be some new posts tomorrow~!

Miccostumes Ciel Costume Review

"Mereda, Sebastian!"

So hello lovelies! I'm having such a busy time going to conventions, perform, talk, hold lectures, participate in photoshoot, do my crafting, and more! I hope everyone is doing alright~! I'm trying not to stress to much, but it's a bit hard since I want to do so many different things all at once though. I'm trying to calm down now when I'm going back to school in a couple of weeks though, so don't worry! ^__^

I have been very lucky, and received a costume from the site Miccostumes.com. I got to pick one out of their many costumes, and since I have been longing to have a full Ciel cosplay (Ciel Phantomhive from the anime/manga Kuroshitsuji/Black Butler), I decided to go by this costume:

www.miccostumes.com/Kuroshitsuji_Black_Butler_Blue_Ciel_Cosplay_Costume

It's a simple but really good looking canon outfit from the series, that you easily recognize.

The costume included:
A white shirt
A blue jacket
A pair of blue shorts
A neck bow
A big black bow (for the back)

PRICE: 60.59$ + Shipping

I went with size Male Small, since I'm a rather short person and well, I'm quite tiny in my clothing sizes. I was aware of that the size probably would be slightly too big for me, but honestly I always order a slightly bigger piece in order to make sure that it fits, since I have some sewing skills and always want to customize things. You can get this costume in the sizes S, M, L and XL, and if none of them is good for you, they have custom sizes, which costs 20$ extra.

The material of this is called Uniform Cloth, and I would say that it's a very common material among cosplays you buy online. I have seen that most online-bought cosplays are made in this material or materials alike, and I actually think this is really good. It's pretty comfortable, and look good, and doesn't break too easily. It doesn't feel like you're gonna end up tearing it apart just from wearing it or anything.

Just this particular cosplay was really nice. It was nicely made without defects, and I think it looks very accurate when you compare it to the design in the series. I likes the colors, and the materials, and it was easy to put on. I had no troubles at all, and once I put it on I didn't really want to take it off again... I really felt like the young Earl himself!

The size that the had described on the website was very correct. I measured just right, and got the size I had chosen, nothing strange there.

All buttons and details are where they should be, tightly secured, and doesn't feel like they will come off anytime soon or anything. It's just so perfect!

I had never ordered a cosplay online myself before, except the Kise cosplay from eBay, but that was actually Sebastian who ordered it so yes... I didn't know what to expect. But here I am now, with a great costume that fits me so well, and I just love it.

The shipping was quite fast, and it got to me in a couple of weeks, and the communication between me and one of the sellers was really, really good.

I totally recommend this site if you're looking for a rad cosplay, and I'm very sure you won't be disappointed! So check their page out! They sell cosplays, wigs, shoes and just really great stuff!

Here you have some pictures of me in the cosplay.

Hope to see you next time~!

Alice and Rabbit's Ciel Lens Reivew

My boyfriend tipped me about this amazing lens shop, Alice and Rabbit Shop, since he was looking for new lenses for Mukuro Rokuda I believe, and I got curious because of their cute name and the adorable look of the shop, so of course I had to browse through it. And guess what I found? Yes, of course, a Ciel lens set! I have been wanting to get my hands on a curse lens like this one for ages, and now I have one, along with a super lovely blue one that was included in the set.

Link: Ciel Lens Set

As you all probably know, I cosplay. And one of my cosplays is the young earl Ciel Phantomhive from the anime and manga Kuroshitsuji. Ciel's right eye is rather special and looks like this:



It's hard to find good lenses like this at a good prize, so I was just glad to see that a really reliable shop like this had it. My boyfriend has shopped from them before, so I trusted the quality and everything, and now with the lenses in my hands I'm super happy. 



This is what the lenses looks like in the lenscase!


Here are some cosplay pictures of me while wearing the lenses.


Close ups.

The lenses are 14.2 mm, and that, well, normal sized lenses? My ordinary contacts are 14.5 mm. This makes them look slightly more natural than if they had been bigger. I really like that. I had no problem or whatsoever to put them in and they were very comfortable immediately. The left lens, the blue one, was really vibrant and gave my eye a rather lively look, which I just LOVED. I'm a fan of blue lenses and I own three different pairs already, but this one was really great and I think it matched Ciel very well.

And more about the curse lens. I have seen quite bad versions of this lens. Bad, unclear pentagrams, bad colors, and looks over all. But this was just lovely. It had a great coverage, and the symbol was really nicely done, simply perfect. I couldn't have been more pleased with it. The effect was stunning and I didn't want to take the lens out at first because I just felt so pleased with how it looked.

I totally recommend these lenses for anyone who wants to cosplay Ciel, or who already does. Or well, anyone who's up for a pair of cool, high quality lenses, really! I just love these so much I could wear them daily!

Make sure to visit their store at www.aliceandrabbitshop.com !

I hope you have a great weekend dear little puppies, because that was it for me for today! Thank you for reading! ^__^





HarajukuFashion$lut Review

This is something I have been wanting to get my hands on for so long! I saw it in a Tumblr post years ago, before I even started online shopping, and later on, I discovered it on Taobao. Since I couldn't order it from there, I tried eBay, without luck. And now, amazing Harajuku Fashion$lut has sent me one to review for them.

Pervert #17 Baseball Shirt

This was a one size shirt, and it fit me really well. It's not tight, and not super loose, but just perfect. I wear a EU size Small, but this would probably fit someone bigger than me, like a EU size Medium. I'm very uncertain about size Ls.

It's a t-shirt made out of cotton, so it's soft and feel great to wear! You don't feel too hot if you wear it a really warm day. It has a O-neck, as the pictures shows. The print is really into the fabric, so it doesn't feel like you can damage to print unless you want to damage the whole t-shirt, which I don't think anyone would want to do. It has a slightly creamy white color, and the print is bright red!

I haven't experienced any defects or anything at all, and I have to say that it's super comfortable and it's good quality. I'm very pleased, and it has become one of my most worn t-shirts when I want to stay cool but stylish in this hot summer weather~!

The prize for this shirt is 19.95$ and you can find it if you click on the link above. The storenvy also sells really cool other clothes and even shoes, so it's really worth to check out.

I recommend this seller, absolutely!

Here are some pictures of the shirt.

And here's a photo of me wearing it hurr hurr! o3o

Sorry for a lot of review spam guys, but I hope you enjoy it at least! Feel free to follow my blog by email, share this post or whatever! <3

Simply Spoiled Beauty Product Review



So hi guys! I have a bunch of reviews coming up so please bear with me! ^__^


This time, it's for some makeup this company called Simply Spoiled Beauty Products. They sent me some freebies to tryout and review, and here they are! I haven't tried out everything properly yet, but I have used a lot of it, and you will be seeing more in the near future!

So I'm starting off with these. 

Lip/Eye pencils

I got these in three colors. Blue/Bleu Clair, Pinot Noir, and Gold. You can use them on your lips, eyelids or lips, well, basically anything! I found them extremely useful when I want to color my eyebrows for cosplays.


For example, you can see me use the blue one for my Aoba makeup. You can find a video of that here~!



The pencils are really easy to use, and the colors looks great and vivid. They smear a tiny, tiny bit if you use them to color eyebrows for cosplay, so make sure to seal them properly with some powder. I used the red one for my eyelids when I did a more red look the other day, which I sadly don't have pictures off, but there will be some up soon!

The golden pencil was great when I did some blonde eyebrows, as long as I put on a second layer of white eyeliner on top of that to brighten the brows a bit. 



Eyeliner with built-in sharpener

This is a thing that I like very much! It's a dark grey eyeliner, very simple to use, but very effectual. With this pencil I created a more shady look, that I was very pleased with, and the pencil was soft, so it didn't make me feel uncomfortable while using it. And one super great thing with it is that it has this built-in sharpener! I always lose mine when I need it the most, and now there's almost no risk of losing it, hehe! Practical! You can see me using it in the Aoba video above.


White Mascara

So I also got this white Mascara to try out. I have been wanting one for quite a bit since I love experimenting with extreme looks, mixing normal makeup with face paint, and you will see either a video, or loads of pictures of me doing that soon. I tried this one casually one day though, and I found it a little difficult to apply, as the color didn't want to get stuck at first. But, after a few more stubborn tries, I managed to get bright, pretty white lashes, and it sure looked odd, in a interesting way! The mascara has a really cute and stylish design as well. 

 

Blue and white eyeliner/eyepencils
Unfortunately I don't have a link for this one, since I think they have run out of the product or something?
Well, anyhow I got these two makeup pencils in white and a nice blue color. They work quite well when I'm coloring my eyebrows for cosplay, or when I want to draw on my eyelids. They have really useful little brushes at the other end of the pencil, and I use them to gently soften lines I have drawn. I found them easy to handle and I like them a lot.



I will use these products in other videos as well, and I can warmly recommend the website. 

Make sure to take a look there to see if there's anything you like! ^__^

StorCon + SkeCon = ‎♡

So after two weekends of cons, I'm finally being able to rest a little bit! It was so much fun, but there was some unnecessary drama, and as always a lot of exhausting but fun work.

I spent most time in the host club during Storcon, but I also worked with sketches, and taking care of my crew and friends. It was fun, and I this was my cosplay schedule:

Friday: Hanabusa Aido - Vampire Knight
Saturday: Kuroko Tetsuya - Kuroko no Basuke
(I was supposed to be Izaya Orihara too but I forgot my wig //sigh)
Sunday: Kise Ryouta - Kuroko no Basuke

I had fun hosting as all of them and quite a lot of people booked me, and my partner hosts. I met old friends, new friends, I performed on stage with my friend Jessie, I took care of people I loved, I sold stuff from my store, and I even participated in the cosplay contest as Kuroko because my friend wished that.

It was a great weekend, and Storcon is one of my favorite cons to visit. I'm so looking forward to next year, to work with all the amazing people and have that much fun again. Maybe even compete with a self made costume again!



Also I got to meet my babes/wives Therese and Lotta, and they helped me a lot with really tough stuff. I'm going to visit them for a few days in just a month! It makes me super happeh~ Especially since we got to talk a lot about important things, and funny things, and Therese started to draw my characters~!

During Skecon, a lot of things happened. I only spent two days at the con, and I cosplayed Kise Ryouta during Friday and Ciel Phantomhive during Saturday. Saturday night I went home with Sebastian. But during the con we met lots of new people, some old friends, nice followers and got to sell a lot of stuff from our store. We got to see a Vocaloid concert, and we just had lots of fun when drama wasn't there.

Also, I hosted a lecture/panel about me, my life, bullying, self confidence and lots of important things. I expected 3-7 people to show up, but we filled the room until no one else could have a seat, and then people was even sitting on the floor in front of me! ; u ; It got emotional sometimes, and people seemed to be able to relate... so I feel proud. I'm happy I ended up doing it and now I'm preparing for my next lecture at Peppcon.

Cons are a really important thing of my life, especially the social parts, and I enjoy working at them a lot, meeting people, helping, being seen, and making progress with myself. Even if they are exhausting, they are great.

Can't wait until Närcon!

I hope to see many of you guys then. 




Chuu~!

Geeks and cats ♡


Of course I have been browsing around again and I have cravings for geeky and cute clothes! Cats have really started to catch my attention again and therefore it can be noticed when I look at clothes. I'm trying not to look at too much cat stuff though... it would be chaotic, because then it would be cats everywhere!

I miss having cats but well... hopefully I'm going to get one when I move out sometime next year, and then I have Sebastian's cats! ;D

I just wanted to share with you, these really cool and cute clothes! Cats, sweatshirt, geeky stuff and galaxy stuff... everything I love! ;w; Sheinside really have so much nice and interesting clothes and I just loooove them. I'm always happy with my purchases from them. 


I'll give you the links to the clothes here~!











Link to their website: http://www.sheinside.com/

And now I'm off to a convention called Skecon. Bye for now guys~!
