Camera Ready Cosmetics Haul (With Bonus Cosplay Ramblings!)

A few weeks ago, I was taking stock of my makeup collection and decided I needed to restock on my setting powders. And by that, I mean I realized I only had, like, three powders and that was just not enough. So, I made a small haul through Camera Ready Cosmetics in order to replenish my Ben Nye setting powder, as well as pick up a new bottle of Final Seal. In addition, I noticed they offered samples of the Kevyn Aucoin Sensual Skin Enhancer, so I got one in shade SX08 to see how I’d like it. Continue reading

Pinky Paradise – Vassen Lollipop Violet & G&G Dueba Barbie Diamond Grey Circle Lenses Review and Pictures

Recently, I’ve decided to get back into cosplaying. When I was younger, it was a pretty big passion of mine and in the process, I taught myself to sew and fabricate accessories and props. I fell out of the con scene after a while, and with it, lost my drive to cosplay. But several months ago, I was gripped with a burst of inspiration and I decided to jump back into the game. I chose the Nightingale armor from Skyrim, just because it’s one of my favorite games and favorite outfits ever. (In retrospect, it may have been a bit ambitious for my first cosplay after several years of hiatus… :-_-: )

To go with this costume, I decided to order some new circle lenses. My main character in Skyrim is a Bosmer (wood elf) sneak thief, who has grey eyes. But I also thought purple eyes would be really striking considering most of my face will be hidden behind the mask, so I decided to get both to see which I preferred. I bought mine from Pinky Paradise. The ones I chose were the Vassen Lollipop Violet and the G&G Dueba (Barbie) Diamond Grey. Hit the jump to see everything! Continue reading
