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!!

Karuta Roromiya wig review

I got a karuta wig for my birthday!! when i asked for it, i didn't really have any plans of using it for a cosplay, but after cutting and styling it, i discovered i could use it to cosplay Karuta, and Madoka Kaname!

Buy it here

it came in a really cute way, my family left it in the bag and netting so it was like getting a wig for the first time in the mail ee, it was really soft and the pigtails were longish, the bangs were long enough to need some serious cutting!!
here's a picture i took when i had just cut the bangs! the lighting made it look a bit more purplish than it really is though!!
Without pigtails:



With pigtails: 



On wig head:




it's a purpleish pink toned wig, it's really pretty irl and photographs differently for the lighting, either hot pink or pastel- i wish it would photograph the purple color when i wear it!! (maybe my lighting just sucks)
i love this wig so much i want to wear it all the time, but sadly it's kind of hard to when i don't go out often!!

                             
i give it a 5/5!!
