Spend vs. Save: MAC Pink Nouveau Lipstick

Here's one of MAC's best selling shade. I read famous celebrities like Anne Curtis, Heart Evangelista, Ruffa Gutierrez and Kriz Aquino have this in their kikay kits.

MAC Lipstick in Pink Nouveau (Satin) - Php 970.00
It is described as a Bright Pink on MAC's site

LA Colors Moisture Lipstick in Pink Parfait - Php 60.00

PACKAGING :

I love the sturdy black bullet case of MAC's lipsticks.
LA Colors has a clear "cheap" plastic cap that easily cracks.

WEIGHT :
MAC - 3 grams
LA Colors - 3.7 grams

TEXTURE :
Both are creamy but MAC has a drier texture compared to LA Colors that is a bit glossy when applied.

COLOR - PAY OFF :
Both are pigmented.

STAYING POWER :
Both lasts for about 3-4 hours on me without eating or drinking.


(click image to zoom)
I included other pink lipsticks for comparison.

Revlon Colorburst Lipstick in Mauve
LA Colors Moisture Lipstick in Pink Parfait
MAC Lipstick in Pink Nouveau
NYX round lipstick in Fig

Pink Parfait is a blue based pink while Pink Nouveau looks a purplish pink in the tube, but goes bright pink when applied. Fig is a warm medium pink while Mauve has a purple undertone but not bright when applied - its a very pretty MLBB shade on me.


FINAL THOUGHTS:
I love Pink Nouveau but if you're looking for something cheaper Pink Parfait is an alternative. Plus I really love the glossy texture of LA Colors lipsticks, its very moisturing!


Till next time,

Xaldin Cosplay Wig

Xaldin Cosplay wig is in black color and with braid. Here are the pictures I want to show you.





Xaldin in Kingdom Hearts




Xaldin (ザルディン Zarudin), the "Whirlwind Lancer" (旋風の六槍 Senpū no Rokusō, lit. "Six Lances of the Whirlwind"), is a silver- tongued Nobody that uses the wind to manipulate his six lances, named Lindworm (竜牙閃 Ryūgasen, lit. "Dragon's Fang Flash"), and to shield himself. Xaldin's lances can transform into a dragon-shaped contraption to attack opponents with whirlwinds. He controls the lance-wielding Dragoon Nobodies.Xaldin's original self was named Dilan (ディラン Deiran, misspelled as Dilin in the North American version), a palace guard under Ansem. Becoming a Nobody to be free of emotion, Xaldin understood the set backs of lacking a heart, but kept a clear disdain towards people who follow their hearts, especially towards the Beast.. The character is voiced in Japanese by Yōsuke Akimoto and in English by David Dayan Fisher.
In Birth by Sleep, he and Aeleus guard the entrance to Ansem's castle. They both meet Ven, but don't let him inside. They both spot an Unversed and they are about to go after it. But Even tells them that Ven should be able to handle it. Even then orders them to resume their post guarding the castle. After Aqua is lost in the realm of darkness, Braig brings Dilan and Ansem to an unconscious Terra. Stating his Possessor's name, Xehanort, Braig carries him to the castle while Dilan carries Aqua's armor and keyblade. At the end credits, he is seen throwing Lea and Isa out of the castle.
Supporting Roxas in his missions at Beast's Castle, learning of the enchanted rose, Xaldin secretly begins his attempt to manipulate the Beast's rage to create a powerful Nobody and Heartless.After first appearing in Kingdom Hearts II at Hollow Bastion with other members, Xaldin later confronts Sora in Beast's Castle, the boy's forcing Xaldin to steal the Beast's mystical rose to stoke the Beast's rage. Sora and the Beast find him, and he reveals that the Organization needs Kingdom Hearts to become complete beings. He then kidnaps Belle, forcing the Beast to choose whether Belle or the rose is more important to him. The plan fails when Belle gets away with the rose and Xaldin falls against Sora and the Beast, fading into nothingness.

Hetalia: Axis Powers: America

hetalia: axis powers cosplay - america

Energetic and headstrong, America was raised by England who later fights for his own independence. He is the self-proclaimed leader of the Allied Forces but his ideas for solving international problems are often absurd. Unfortunately, America also tends to be oblivious to the opinion of others.

Beautiful cosplay! I love the simple yet elegant pose the cosplayer’s done with the American flag around her. Thanks to T.J. for sending this in!

EDIT: Thanks to ~Lsine for finding my blog and letting me know this is her cosplay!

BLAB! at Asia Cosplay Meet



I like the female host. A lot. I think I'm in love!

Styling Ame-Warashi's Wig

To get Ame-Warashi's hairstyle I decided to get a wig. Since I had no idea how to make my own hair that style and the idea of colouring it light blue wasn't that appealing. 

This page is from were Ame-Warashi shows up the second time in the manga, and yes, I am going to make that outfit too since it's so good looking. I love it. Anyway here you can see that her hair is coloured blue in the manga, and not red as in the anime. I wonder why they even did that, it's too different colours, and I think blue fits a rain-maker more than red. But enough of the rambling.

I started and ended my search for a wig at ebay.com. In the end I thought a wig styled for Miku Hatsune would be a good start, so I search out the bluest I could find and tried to make sure that it would be in good quality. The rewiev of the wig can be found here: Charissa-KIDS @ ebay.com

Unfortunate I don't have that many photos of how I styled the wig. But I will try to explain it in words. First I cut the bang, so I could see what I was doing vile wearing the wig. It was done messy so I could get an idea of how long it would be and figure out how much of the wig that was going to be in the side curls. 

This is were it started to get into real styling. I was going to make a straight wig into curls. I started to read on styling wigs on the internet and different forums to get an idea of what to do and decided that the hot-water-styling-method would be easiest and hopefully not damage the whole wig. So I bought myself some curling rollers in plastic and rolled up the fibres on them. Then I boiled some water and prepared a bowl that could handle the hot water. 

Then I placed the part of the wig that was rolled up in the bowl and pour the hot water on it. I had let the water cool a bit, so that the fibres wouldn't be destroyed. After a few minutes I took up the wig and let it cool down and dry over night. It is important that the wig cools down and dry before the rollers are removed, otherwise the fibres can loose it's shape.

In the morning I trimmed the rest of the wig shorter and it looked something like this, note that I was really tired when I took these: 

My friends told me that I looked like France and England's lovechild without the clips, and I kinda agree with them. That is if you have been watching Hetalia Axel Power, then you would maybe agree as well. :D

I got help by a friend to cut of the length of the clips. She first cut of a bit of the length and then trimmed the clips a bit thinner so that they would not be so thick. She also trimmed the rest of the wig a bit better.

And the finished results is here. Photo by David Rhodin

Sakura Cosplay Wig

Sakura with long hair.

Appearance

Sakura has bright pink hair, green eyes, and fair skin. In Part I, Sakura wore a red qipao dress with white circular designs, tight dark green shorts, and a forehead protector which she used to accent her face. Sakura was often bullied due to her rather large forehead hence her nickname off Ino Yamanaka "Billboard Brow". In Part II, Sakura, now a Chūnin, has acquired a new outfit consisting of the same basic red top as in Part I, with black gloves, black high-heeled boots, black shorts, short pink apron-like skirt, and pink elbow protectors.
Sakura is now also armed with a Chūnin's tantō (along with Shikamaru Nara and Ino, which she wears above her Medical Pouch, but she has never been seen using it in combat). The cloth of her forehead protector has also changed to red in color. When she's not on a mission, she wears her regular red shirt, with a light yellow shirt under it, and a navy-colored skirt. In this outfit, she still wears her sandals.
Another notable trait of Sakura's appearance is her hair. At the series' beginning, Sakura's hair was very long (when she was young, there was a rumor that Sasuke was attracted to girls with long hair).After Sakura was forced to protect the unconscious bodies of Sasuke and Naruto after their battle with Orochimaru, Kin Tsuchi grabbed Sakura's hair and taunted her for paying more attention to her appearance than practicing her jutsu. Kin kept Sakura captive, holding her tightly by the hair and forcing her to watch Zaku Abumi attack Lee. This caused Sakura to cut her hair to release Kin's hold on her, and determinedly attacking Team Dosu with a new goal of surpassing her teammates. Sakura has kept her new, shoulder-length hairstyle for the rest of the series. Later, during the time skip, she grows her hair again, as shown in a flashback, but later cuts it.

Here are some pictures of Sakura Cosplay Wigs







Sakura Haruno in Naruto




















This article is about the Naruto character. For the Wandaba Style character, see Sakura Haruno (Wandaba Style).

Naruto character

Sakura Haruno by Masashi Kishimoto
First appearance Naruto manga chapter 3
Naruto anime episode 1
Voiced by Japanese
Chie Nakamura
English
Kate Higgins
Ninja rank Chunin
Ninja team Team 7
Sakura Haruno (春野 サクラ Haruno Sakura) is a fictional character in the Naruto manga and anime series created by Masashi Kishimoto. Sakura has become the series' female lead, although she was not immediately intended for the role. Kishimoto has had difficulty in drawing her, resulting in Kishimoto inadvertently emphasizing certain parts of her appearance, including her large forehead.
In the anime and manga, Sakura is a kunoichi affiliated with the village of Konohagakure, and part of Team 7, which consists of herself, Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke Uchiha, and their sensei, Kakashi Hatake. Sakura initially has an infatuation for Sasuke, praising him at every juncture, and heaping scorn upon the less skilled Naruto. Over the course of the series, she begins to shed this singularly driven persona, and grows more appreciative and accepting of Naruto; in Part II, she begins to develop a closer bond with him as they both share in their goal to bring their departed teammate Sasuke back. Sakura has appeared in several pieces of Naruto media, including the four featured films in the series, all of the original video animations, and several video games.
Numerous anime and manga publications have praised and criticized Sakura's character. She was initially noted to be a stereotypical shōnen character, serving as a love interest for the protagonist, and served little purpose in the series initially beyond being comic relief. Her emergence from this stereotype as the series progressed, however, has been celebrated by reviewers. Amongst the Naruto reader base, Sakura has been popular, placing high in some polls. Several pieces of merchandise have been released in Sakura's likeness, including a plush doll and key chains.

Kaname Kuran Cosplay Wig

Nice to see you----My dear Readers, it is really my honor that show my page to you. I would like to share some pictures of Kaname Kuran Cosplay Wig with you.








Larxene Cosplay Wig

Last time I provide you some information of Larxene( the member of Organization XIII ). Maybe you want to know more things about him. Today I will satisfy my readers you.

Appearance

Larxene wears the normal Organization black coat and gloves, but her black boots are more feminine and are heeled. Her bright, blonde hair is slicked back at her neck and about jaw-length, with two long strands styled into distinctive antennae-like strands. Larxene's eyes are green and she is very slim with an hourglass figure when compared to other members due to her gender, though this belies her true strength. In her appearance in Jiminy's Journal in Kingdom Hearts II, Larxene looked a bit different, as her hair was lighter, almost white, and she seemed to be wearing lipstick.

Next are the some pictures of his cosplay wigs. They will be references for those cosplay fans.




Larxene----Memeber of Organization XIII






"More pain for you means more fun for me!"



Larxene (ラクシーヌ Rakushīnu), also known as the "Savage Nymph" (非情の妖姫 Hijō no Yōki, lit. "Callous Vixen"), was first introduced in Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories where she conspired with Marluxia to overthrow Organization XIII. Larxene wields a set of knives called Foudre (エクレール Ekurēru?, lit. "Éclair"), the French word for lightning, and uses the power of thunder to fight.[7] The character was first voiced by Rieko Katayama in Chain of Memories.Yuko Miyamura took over the role for the Japanese releases of Re:Chain of Memories and 358/2 Days, while Shanelle Workman provided her voice in the two titles' English releases.
Larxene makes a minor appearance in 358/2 Days, reluctantly training Roxas before she leaves for Castle Oblivion. When Larxene first meets Sora in Chain of Memories, she helps manipulate his memories by causing him to remember Naminé's name.She then fights him and gives him new cards to access more areas of Castle Oblivion. She intimidates Naminé to keep with their plan and later taunts Vexen after the Riku Replica failed his mission. After she discovers Axel's betrayal and sees that Marluxia's plans have fallen apart, she decides to kill Sora. After Sora finds Naminé, Larxene taunts the two before she attempts to kill them. However, Donald and Goofy arrive to assist Sora. Together, the three defeat Larxene, and she fades into darkness.

Personality

"The heart is a mysterious thing, Axel."
— Larxene, in Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories

Although Larxene is normally smiling in-game, she can be undoubtedly cold, ruthless, and uncaring, and appears to love nothing more than to bring other people down. Described the most as a domineering woman of strong personality, who does not ask, but tells, she has sharp wit and sardonic remarks ready to spite others on purpose. Her jokes tend to be more ill-humored as well, enabling anyone to successfully get irritated, and sometimes if pushed far enough, yell or charge at her in anger, a reaction which she seems to find humorous. In the Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories manga, Larxene was seen reading a book about the infamous French writer Marquis De Sade, the namesake of sadism, which is clearly related to her sadistic nature.
Along with the callousness, however, she oddly displays childish and playful behavior, laughing and giggling excessively. She, although recognizable with her overall behavior, also appears to have a flirtatious attitude towards Axel compared to others, with reasons for doing so not addressed. Laid back and almost passive to those she likes, or refers to as good company, Larxene expresses herself in a dramatized manner, constantly making outrageous expressions and hand movements. She taunts Vexen incessantly after he is threatened with charges of treason and incompetence from Marluxia, though that could be connected to her personal dislike of the man, and toys with Sora before fighting him the first time. In fact, she even leads Sora to believe that she is a nice person, just trying to help point him in the right direction: "The bad guys have [Naminé] locked away. And you, as the hero, need to go save her!" She then smiles and attacks him, sending him flying with a powerful kick and informs him that she is a "bad guy", mocking his failure to remember Naminé.
After she discovers Axel's unexpected betrayal and sees that Marluxia's and her plans have fallen apart, while affected negatively and almost seemingly disappointed when speaking of it, her friendly manner vanishes and she attacks Sora in a rage. Nevertheless, surprisingly in death, she sounds out a cry of what appears as sadness as she is fading instead of what is expected to be a usual villainous end, especially with her acts throughout the game. It showed a different side of her that had yet to be seen before that compares to Saïx's own demise. This brings to question if she truly is what she has presented herself to be the whole time, or if there is more to her.
In what may be a connection, written in one of the many Kingdom Hearts novels that correlate with the series, she meets Marluxia for the first time and has just joined the Organization as the sole female. The topic of the Organization's goal is spoken of. Being that she was the newest recruit and was asking questions, complaining that there was nothing to do around the castle, and that it was "boring" all the more, Marluxia repeated to her what Xemnas once told him; which was that they were here to regain back their hearts. She had gone silent in thought at the answer, before saying that a heart was not really necessary. She felt having one was painful, and she was fine with the way things are now, perhaps implying that she was hurt emotionally for most of her original self's life, and that lacking a heart keeps the pain at bay.
Nevertheless, Larxene's cruelty was ultimately proven to be her own undoing, as she ultimately pushes Sora too far and suffers his wrath after hurting Naminé.

Pacquaio and Mayweather Showdown



While this is the song that best suits the Pacquiao-Mayweather match, I think it also fits the meeting of Gamertotoy and Gian face to face. Guys, we want to see you fuck each others' faces (and chin) up really badly!

The backstory

Gamertotoy, the people's champ and the Philippine cosplay scene's voice of reason who thinks pervs like Gian and RG deserve to go to jail for their abuse of minors and the English language, finally wants to bring the Chanemperor's face (and chin) on the floor through fist and fury.

Gian "The Chanemperor" Bacuyag, professional pervographer and bullshitter, finally "mans" up
is hellbent on bringing the people's champ to his knees and prove that you can't keep a good man (and his erection for minors and other weak-minded cosplay girls) down.

It's pretty childish, but heck, I think playing dress up while you're 20-something is too.

LOL.
