etude house precious mineral BB cream bright fit review

i got Etude house Precious Mineral BB cream bright fit for my birthday, as it had gotten really good reviews from what i had seen, so i asked for it!! i got the lightest out of 4 shades "Light Beige" because most products are too dark for my skin, or have yellow undertones which make me look odd, as my skin has pink undertones!

 Photos of packaging:










For some reason, my camera didn't want to show all of some of the text, but most if it isn't in english, but there is directions and ingredients in english, so it's good c: it comes with a pump which i love because the kind that you just pour is so wasteful as you can spill it everywhere or pour too much out to use (etc), my last foundation that i used also had a pump, but you had to use 2-3 pumps to be able to actually cover your whole face, with this one, one pump does the trick normally!! you CAN layer it, or do "spot" treatments, but honestly i just put concealer on the places that might need it (under my eyes and some of my red acne scars) but honestly, you don't really need concealer.

you can still see the indents and some of the small freckles i got from sun damage, but it's just barely- and in places that didn't get covered all the way (like my forehead and the side of my face next to my eyes) other than that, it's really nice and matches my face almost perfectly, when you first pump it out on your hand, it might seem really awkward and dark, but when you put it on it matches my skin so nicely.


Remember, your skin/wrist color is NOT the same as your face color, your wrists are a light color, and if it doesnt match the inside of your wrist, theres a high chance it will still match your face, same with your hand!

Here's some pictures of me (When I was goofing off with my sister) without makeup for you to compare.

I powder mine with TonyMoly cat's wink powder in "Clear skin" i believe, it's the lightest shade as well!! it's so cute aahh~~ with the light powder, it can last all day- I had put it on one day to see how long it would last, and it lasted until i went to bed, and i touch my face a lot, sadly

i looove this so much honestly i'm probably going to be using it instead of foundation!! it's very nice and feels light and like you're not wearing anything at all, which i enjoy because wearing thick makeup can feel gross sometimes, but i even forgot i was wearing some when i tested it out, that's how natural it feels!!

                                                
i give it a 5/5, i recommend it if you're a fan of BB creams, or want to get into BB creams- Or have fair, pink undertoned skin like mine!! Etude house is an amazing brand and i've heard a lot of great things about it, I hope i can get more of their things in the future!!

Instax mini 7s camera review!

Not exactly cosplay related, but a lot of people have been getting into these so I'm going to be posting a review on the one i own!!

most people buy the newer, instax mini 8 (the pink small ones you always see!) but mine is the older, 7s in white.
they're rather small and can fit into your purse but it might be a bit heavy if you aren't used to using purses/bags like i am, the pictures come out credit card size (which it says on the back of the box by the way!) and are very cute, make sure you don't shake them though, or have the camera on the wrong setting!!

it should come with instructions, telling you how to hold it and how to use the settings so it'll take the picture properly, if you don't use the right settings you'll waste film and get a pure white picture, also something to note is that if there is something that might reflect like.. a white plate or by windows, it will make 90% of your picture turn out white, so you have to be careful with things like that if you're not outside.




on amazon, you can buy it for around $70 or so new, and film costs $10 for 10 shots i believe, which is a dollar per shot- it's expensive but definitely worth the money if you like polaroid cameras!!


it's amazing and i love it so much and i'm going to give it a 9/10 due to the fact that you can get white pictures so easily, but once you get the hang of it you wont get any mess ups!!

there's no link at the top on to where to buy it because Mod B is selling hers (click here for details)

i know there's probably one or two of you thinking 'if it's so great, why are  you selling it?' that's because i don't use it very often! i don't carry purses or go out enough to carry it around so it's sadly been sitting around in my room, i'd rather it go to someone who will actually use it then be left unused!!

Kozume Kenma wig review

Buy it here

Pictures from the listing:


it came pretty much exactly the same as the pictures were, the back was extremely long and the front was long too, and curled under. the first thing i did was get out my sisters hair straightener and straighten the wig!! i'm not sure how quality our hair straighter is, but it didn't give you the option to change the heat setting so it got pretty hot so i tried to do it before it got hot- and then unplugged it and did it while it was still warm. his hair doesn't curl in, so i made sure to straighten it all around before cutting it!!






please be sure to cut it, if you don't you'll have a really bad mullet wig!! 

it came with really nice quality, it's super thick- thicker than my Shouyou wig!! it's really comfortable to wear and slightly bigger than most ebay wigs i've gotten, so i have it clipped in the back so it won't slide around too much when i wear it.
when i got it it had this really weird piece that went down the middle, i'm assuming it was a mess up of the wig when they made it- but i had to very carefully cut it off because it wouldnt go to the sides and stay.

(I can't make a heart with my hands to save my life!)


Reblog the photoset here

i give it a 10/10 i really love this wig and want to wear it all the time!!
