TEASER: Eternal Sunshine

Model: MJ Mallari
Photo by: Cee Culanculan
Assisted by: Sheed Arabani

I had a shoot last Sunday with a model I met that very day. Her name is MJ and she is a part of G1 Team of models and photographers managed by Glenn San Agustin. She is tall and pretty and very nice to talk to.

The title of this set is Eternal Sunshine borrowed from Alexander Pope's poem 'Eloisa to Abelard'.
Maybe the entire set will explain why I named it so.


Photos of this set will be released soon! Thank you for reading!

PS: Thank you for your birthday wishes last week. ^_^

Makeup haul ready for review!!

Heyy guys! So during my Nursing Licensure exam review, I didn't totally leave my obsessions including my love for makeup. During those months, even though I was not able to post anything here.. I still kept my obsession alive by buying and collecting makeup.

I am planning to do a review on these soon, maybe on a video blog or a post. <3 I will review two products sponsored by KKCenterHK. (Which I have a 15% off coupon code for my readers: yourstrulyceeevent15off) 

For now, here are the makeup products that I collected during my review days.

These are the products sent to me by KKCenterHK for review:

Remember my CUICU Violet eyeshadow review? Well I chose another shade of eyeshadow from this brand for my Miku Hatsune cosplay. I really love this eyeshadow!

This one is a blush palette (Do you call it a palette when there are two colors in one case? I am such a noob)
The colors on this product are cream and brown. Can't wait to use this for contouring. 

So I bought the following products to complete my basic makeup kit. Been wanting to buy these for sometime now. Finally I have them in my collection! (PS: I love ELF products. They're affordable and safe.)

Waterproof mascara because I was totally not satisfied with the mascara that I bought. I hope I will get good results from this.

Blending eye brush for awesome eyeshadow application. :)

Face Primer for a lasting makeup. Sweating my makeup won't be much of a problem from now on! I hope this product gives out good results.

Well this one is not really for plucking my eyebrows, instead I will use them for applying eyelashes. <3 

Eye primer so that my eye shadows will last longer than usual. 

So that's it!! I am so ready for my cosplay comeback this coming Feb 25. We have a scheduled shoot on that holiday so watch out for it!

Thank you for reading. <3

Cosplay Work in Progress: Neo-Queen Serenity

Hey guys! I joined a cosplay group shoot: Sailor Senshi and my character is the Neo Queen Serenity! Neo Queen Serenity is the older Usagi, the queen of Crystal Tokyo.

Sailormoon is, I guess, the first anime that I watched.. EVER. I was shouting "mun-crystal-pawer-make-ar" when she's transforming to fight those goons. (Yes, that should be "Moon Crystal Power, Make-up" but the heck, I was 3!) I adore Usagi so much and I decided to portray her.

Image from Google

In the cosplay group that I joined, the default Usagi or Sailormoon was taken by another cosplayer so I chose to cosplay Neo Queen Sereniy. She's the mature version of Usagi and I wanted to learn more about her, and I think cosplaying her will let me learn a lot about this character.

I started working with this cosplay by reading a lot about Neo Queen Serenity. I also googled cosplay photos of her so that I may get an idea how to portray her during the shoot.

Her cosplay is pretty simple. The only difficult part is the gown and wings, I guess. She does not have a specific shoe design so I will be using my white dolly shoes.

I finished making her crown, earrings and moon face mark a few days ago. I was planning to have a real tiara made but after thinking it over, I decided to do it myself because really, I think that's the fun part in cosplaying... making the props all by your self. :)

Making the props yourself is a good way of saving money! 

I printed out a template taken from the Internet for her tiara. I used craft foam and gems for the details. I glued them on a hard plastic folder to make it sturdy. <3

Derpy girl wearing a tiara. I cant't wait to order her wig!! <3 

 So that's it for now. I am planning to head to my seamstress to have her gown made. I hope she won't charge me a lot for it! LOL

Thank you for reading and watch out for my Neo Queen Serenity Cosplay! <3
