Wig tips!

Hey guys! Just wanted to leave a quick note. I'm trying to write a long Kultcon post as I just got home and everything but I feel so sloooow and I have loads of work and studies to catch up with. But I wanted to tell you about something that might be of use to you who use wigs or are thinking of buying one. One of my favorite wig stores just gave me a discount code to share with all of you, and it's WigIsFashion

So I will just leave it here for you. They are selling the most beautiful and amazing wigs, both for cosplay, and fashion. So really, check them their site out if you haven't!




I hope you had a great weekend~!

Blonde and Pink Split Lolita Wig (UNIQSO)

Lolita Wig - Blonde and Pink Split

So I also wanted to show you another one of my new wigs, since a few of you already have asked where it is from!

It's another one of my UNIQSO wigs, and if you click on the link on the top of this post, you will find it on their website. Here are some pictures and my opinion of it!



This wig is a blonde and wig split wig, which firstly is a base wig, like this. It's curly and fluffy, and looks really good as it is. (Sadly the lighting in my kitchen was a bit bad, so the locks at the back looks darker than they are)

It comes with two clips, one blonde and one pink, as shown in the pictures below.


 

You can wear it high or low, on the same side as their color or the opposite. Both looks really cute! I think this will look well to pastel looks, or lolita, or fairy kei inspired looks. I will probably try out some decore with it too! I think it's an adorable fashion wig that I will appreciate loads. 

 People have even thought it was my real hair and wondered how I dyed it so nicely, haha! i like how natural it looks for this sort of wig. 




The colors looks so nice together and I can think of many outfits for this kind of wig. I look forward to try them all out and experiment. Have any tips or ideas? Feel free to comment down below!

Remember that if you buy anything from UNIQSO, there's a discount code to get you 10% off, which is "niisuke". Have fun shopping and looking for new treasure items on their website! ^__^


I hope this was helpful in some way, and that you enjoyed reading. A makeup video with this wig should be up in the near future, I hope.

Bye bye for now~







My Erza Look - Wig and Lenses by UNIQSO

A while ago, my fiancé and my friend Herman tricked me into watching an anime called Fairy Tail. It's a very interesting anime, and I really like the characters and everything. So my boyfriend has to ultimate "ship" in the series, which is Jellal and Erza. He's already cosplaying as Jellal so... he talked me into being his Erza. Now there's not just one version of Erza. It's like, a million. She has tons of different armors and outfits. Right now, I just want to make some casual versions, until I try to figure out if I should work on a more difficult one.

Uniqso had two different Erza wigs, which were lovely looking and good color. But both were long, full wigs, and I was more interested in doing Erza's other hair style, which is the pony tail look. They didn't have that one for her, but they had one extremely similar to that, and it was the 
Pandora Hearts Sharon Wig!

So I got this one for Erza, as it looked really good to me. I got it in the mail a few days ago, quickly as usual with the express DHL shipping (like 4-5 days!).

I love the vivid color!
Erza's hair is more wine red, but this isn't an Erza wig, so I'm pleased anyway. I knew it would be another color, and honestly, I love this just as much. It's a very easy wig to style, and it comes in two pieces. The base wig, with the long front parts, and then a long clip on pony tail that you can attach and detach however you wish!



When you get the wig, the bangs will be longer than in these pictures, but that is for you to cut yourself, if you want to, so that it will fit you perfectly!

I also used these lenses from UNIQSO:
Barbie Angel Brown


Front and back, full wig.

Length of base wig: 60 cm
Length of pony tail clip: 100 cm

The pony tail is easy to remove and put back, and it doesn't feel too heavy, which surprised me. The wig is rather thick, as all other wigs I have received from UNIQSO, and that is a good things. Especially since a lot of long wigs lose a lot of hair with time, as you brush them a lot as they get tangled. 

 

It's comfy and has adjustable straps for the size, the color is very lively and it's simply looking really good. Check it out for cosplay or just casual looks, and remember that I have a discount code for you. "Niisuke" gives you 10% any purchase off their website.

I also made a makeup tutorial for Erza, with this wig and these lenses, so check it out on my youtube chanel!


I hope this review was helpful to you. Have a good day! ^__^

Drip and drop - Jack's Outfits

and
Black Ripped Slim Jeans

I've seen this sweatshirt all over Instagram and I've wanted one for a while, so I saw my chance to grab it when I ordered some clothes from Sheinside. It's a one size, black and white sweatshirt with this cool dripple print. It's thick and warm, so I advice you to wear it during colder days, or you might feel overheated quickly. Great for early spring, fall and winter though! I think it suits great with these ripped jeans I got, and the red wig that really gives some color to this black and white outfit.

I love ripped jeans, and I think they are cool and add a slightly rough and tough side to every outfit. You can match it with something cute, or something else rather "tough" and it will great! I can't wait to find some more cool ripped jeans. I really love it when you wear cool tights underneath the ones that have really big holes and such. These are ripped both at the back and the front, with a few small ripped pieces on the left side, and a big one on the front of the right side. 






Wig and lenses from UNIQSO!

Lenses are Barbie Angel Brown

Wig is Pandora Hearts Sharon Wig

Discount code: "Niisuke" (= 10% off)


Black Floral Pleated Skirt
I also got my hands on this super pretty, long, black skirt!
I absolutely adore the flower printing, it looks like cherry blossoms. And that's one of my favorite flowers. I usually don't go for long skirts like this, but I felt like trying it out, and I don't regret it. It feels rather fancy and summer-ish, so I will probably wear it when I dress up as female during summer!

It's available in size S and M, so go and check the measurements on the website if you're interested in it.

I think it will go well with crop tops and simple, one colored tops.

I hope you got some inspiration! ^__^

See you soon!

Magical Boy Explosion - Yumoto Hakone Cosplay Review

So here I am again to show you one of my latest costumes! It's another one from perfect CosplaySky.com~!

Link here: Yumoto Hakone Earth Defense Club Uniform

A few months ago, Binan koukou chikyuu bouei bu love started as an anime, and it's a very cute and silly magical boy anime. I fell in love with the cuteness of the whole series and especially the character Yumoto, which you now will be seeing me cosplay as!
He's very hyper and loves to cuddle, sooo yes! Totally my type of character. Also he looks a lot like Nagisa from Free! in my opinion. 

What you get for this costume: 
  • One jacket
  • One pair of shorts
  • One belt
  • One string to attach to belt
  • Neck bow
  • One pair of gloves

I got this one made after my own measurements, and you can choose to get a specific size or custom made if you decide to get a costume from their website. They have loads of different ones except this one, and if you have seen my black Ciel outfit, my Lady Ciel dress or my Loki Laevatein cosplay, you have seen the wonderful works of this company, as they are all from their. You can find the whole magical boy crew's costumes there, as well as their school uniforms and so on. They have both anime and movie cosplays, and much, much more!

To say about some things about this costume is that, as usual, it's very well made. Strong fabric, well sown, great colors and quality. Not too easy to break in my opinion, unless you're being very careless. I got the shoes to him as well, and they are also very well made, strong, with a zipper at the back, and rather thick soles. Some cosplay shoes feel fragile already from the beginning, but not these. The only thing I'm worried about is getting them dirty, as I always tend to do that with anything white haha!

Here are some more pictures of the costume!







 









(no we did not dye our dog's fur, it's a really poor and quick photoshop edit for fun, to use him instead of the wombat as we have no wombat haha)

I'm so in love, once again! Very happy to be able to wear such a cute costume with high quality. These costumes is such a joy to wear, and I can't wait to bring it to Närcon this year, as we hopefully will be a full magical boy group going there! ^__^

And if you wonder, I just got the wig off eBay, but I lost the link sadly. v__v
