Brand New With Original Retail Packing Box

3D Diamond Powder EyeShadow

Suitable For Make Up

Size : 43mm X 43mm X 16mm

Price:  USD$7.85

The package arrived in a brown paper bag. The items are brand new but one of them, one color of an eye shadow palette, got broken/destroyed during the shipping even with bubble wrapping. I guess it lacked proper handling or a lot of bubble wrap.

The swatches:

No flash, low light

The shade turned out to be very glittery after a few swipes. It had the hint of light pink on it. 

With flash

I am really not a big fan of glitter eye shadows but I wanted to try this one because of it's pretty color and because one of the characters that I am going to cosplay next is the pink-haired

Luka Megurine of Vocaloid.

I think Pink Eyeshadow will match her look. 

What I love about it:

If you need a glittery eye shadow with a touch of pink, then this one is for you. It did not disappoint me on the "glitter" department since it had enough glitters and shine that were visible after a few swipes. Kind of an eye-popping shade.

I applied the eye shadow with a brown shade from one of my palette. 

The single eyeshadow case has a mirror and free sponge applicator.

The product comes in this small, compact size and the case also has its own mirror and sponge applicator that makes it easy to carry around, without having to bring a separate brush, and easy to use during those quick makeup or retouch moments.

It can be used for cosplay characters that need only light makeup to match their personality.

The product does not flake off easily and it blends in nicely with other darker shades of eye shadow. 

The product does not give off a strange or funny smell which is very good for me.

What I don't like about it:

The color of pink is not as visible or vivid as I have imagined. 

The color removes off with eye makeup remover but some of the glitters remains on the eyelid. It may need proper washing using water. 

Its not locally available. You can only purchase it online on KKCENTERHK. 

Tweaked the contrast a bit.

Fruits Basket/BLEACH Inspired Shoot

Or you can call it.. THE WIG PICNIC! I don't know what came into our mind when we organized this shoot. Originally, it was supposed to be a casual Fruits Basket shoot. Maybe Fruits Basket abstract version. LOL We had lunch at the Butterfly Garden, Pasonanca Park (same place where we had the shoot) then we put on our wigs and started taking photos of each other. Oh I missed those crazy moments!

These photos were taken last September 8. LOL Sorry for the super late upload! I decided to finish everything else before editing photos from the latest shoot that we had, the One Piece Closet Cosplay Shoot. Please bear with me!

We ain't really calling this cosplay. Maybe, costrip? And I kind of explored my editing software a bit, tested a few filters and so. Hoped you will like it!

DIY Drybox for my Camera and Flash

Once in a photography class, our mentor told us not to store our cameras in its bag when not in use. We should take it out if we will not going to use it for a long time.

So after stumbling upon a few photos of lenses with molds in it, I decided to look for DIY Drybox ideas and I found a blog who wrote a simple tutorial on doing a homemade drybox for cameras and camera equipment.

Link of the DIY Drybox post.

So here's my version of the DIY drybox.

Here are the materials that I used:

This is my tiny silica gel container (with holes).
Hunted all around my house for packets of silica gel. :)

Plastic container in pink, of course.

Bubble wrap

So, how did my DIY Drybox turned out? Scroll down below!

I placed the bubble wrap inside, then the case with the silica gel. 

Voila! My camera and flash fit perfectly!

OMG I love the color of the plastic case. lol

While I was taking shots of the drybox, my pup suddenly sat next to the drybox

Then he took a bite of my drybox as if it's food. LOL

Maybe my pup wants to be a photographer soon!

That's it guys! I hope this will really work as a drybox. Can't afford a real one yet, so I hope this will house my equips nicely.
