/ lolitaland / Leave a comment

Halloween is just around the corner, and it’s time to start planning your costume and stocking up on spooky treats. But what about those unique and unforgettable Halloween gifts and experiences that will make this year’s celebration truly special? Check out my recommendations — these are all great for gifting to friends, or simply to treat yourself. 😉

For the Horror Movie Enthusiast:

  • Vintage Horror Movie Posters: Add a touch of retro horror to your home with authentic or reproduction posters from classic films like “Frankenstein,” “The Shining,” and “Night of the Living Dead.”
  • Go to the cinema and watch a horror movie! Or, you can stream your favorites (or something new!) online. Check out the wide variety of horror movies on Amazon – you can watch some of my favorites like Barbarian (this is leaving Amazon Prime in 6 days so don’t miss it!!), Eden Lake, Suspiria (you can watch both the 1977 film and the 2018 film), and Crawl (this is a disaster film/creature feature which I don’t personally count as horror, but I know some people do!). Or if you plan on seeing Terrifier 3, you can watch Terrifier and Terrifier 2 first.
  • Horror movie stickers: This pack of 100 horror movie stickers has everyone from Jason to Jigsaw to Art the Clown!

For the Fashionista:

Use code 3PEARLS to get an additional discount on any of the products in this section.

  • Costumes and Cosplays: Whether you’re a seasoned cosplayer or if you just like to dress up during Halloween, don’t forget your costume! You can don a Demon Slayer cosplay, or a Halloween-themed maid costume. You can also dress up in an easy costume by adding on this bone mask or be a cute kitty with these black cat ears (these ears are also only $2.90 right now!). You can use my coupon code 3PEARLS to get an additional discount off your order.

For the Candy Lover:

  • Cute Candy Bowls: It’s the perfect time to get a cute Halloween-themed candy bowl! You can use this cat or pumpkin bowl for cookies, candy, and more.
  • Gourmet Halloween Candy: Indulge in premium Halloween candy from artisanal chocolatiers or gourmet candy makers, like this cute black cat chocolate.
  • Candy for Trick-or-Treaters or Parties: If you’re passing out candy to trick-or-treaters or hosting a Halloween party, don’t forget to buy Halloween candy in bulk!

With these Halloween goodies, you’re sure to have a spooktacular celebration filled with fun, fright, and unforgettable memories. Happy Halloween, everyone!

Photoshoot: Sumiko.Foto at Otakon

At Otakon 2015, I worked with Sumiko.Foto for the first time! I agreed to write a review in exchange for a free photoshoot (and a Free! photoshoot). My first photoshoot with them was on Friday, when I cosplayed Nagisa Hazuki from Free! I cosplay Nagisa to every con I go to, and he’s definitely one of my all-time favorite characters to be! The second shoot with them was on Saturday afternoon, when I cosplayed Kill la Kill with two friends. You can see my Otakon cosplay lineup here! It was a really busy con for me.

First, let’s talk about the Free! shoot!

21438921602_53fe466370_o

I met up with Sumiko.Foto on Friday morning by the fountains outside Otakon. There was another cosplayer there, a Gou, and she took photos of both of us at the same time. We got lots of solo shots, and also some group shots. Sumiko.Foto handled it very well, and I didn’t mind sharing the time slot with another cosplayer since the photographer definitely split up the time evenly and everything ran smoothly. As for the end results, both cosplayers got amazing photos! All of the photos on this blog post were taken and edited by Sumiko.Foto ; I did not tamper with the files at all. I’m impressed by the results!

On Saturday afternoon, the Kill la Kill shoot took place! I cosplayed Mako, and my friends cosplayed Ryuko and Satsuki. Unfortunately, I ran late to the photoshoot because my hotel was far away from the con and it was difficult for me to commute back and forth. I had to change to Mako for this shoot, and on my way back to the con from the hotel, I got stuck in traffic. Luckily, things worked out since Ryuko and Satsuki got their solo photos as I was traveling. When I got there, we got to do the group shots!

I got less photos back from this shoot than from the Free! shoot, but I don’t mind since the photos still look great. It was also more difficult to get great photos from the second shoot since we were in direct sunlight most of the time, and the area on top of the fountains was crowded and busy.

It’s too bad there are random passerbys in some of these photos, but that couldn’t be avoided. Otakon was definitely one of the most crowded cons I’ve ever been to… There were so many people everywhere!

My friends agreed that this photoshoot was fun, so we were all happy with the experience. Thank you for shooting us, Sumiko.Foto!

UNIQSO: Luo Tianyi Wig

/ lolitaland / Leave a comment

UNIQSO sponsored a beautiful wig and perfect circle lenses for a Luo Tianyi cosplay! In this review, I will discuss the wig. Stay tuned for my circle lens reviews as well!

If you want to buy something from UNIQSO, be sure to use the coupon code “xiaorawr” for 10% off!

First, let’s talk about the packaging!

DSCN1116

UNIQSO shipped the wig in a DHL mailer. The circle lenses came in a separate package, which I will talk about it in a separate blog post.

DSCN1117

The wig was wrapped in multiple layers of protection.

DSCN1119

Inside the plastic bag is the wig and wig extension piece (and protective hairnets). The plastic bag also had a cardboard piece inside that added protection for the wig during transit. The wig came in perfect condition! Pretty fibers, not tangled at all: this was definitely a brand-new wig.

DSCN1120

When I took out the pieces from the bag, I was pleasantly surprised to find a free wig cap! This is the kind of wig cap I like too: the stretchy net kind with the hole on the top. This wig is made up of a short base wig and one clip-on extension. The extension has a large alligator clip, and it is one piece that has both the hair infinity loop as well as the long extension strands.

The wig was very easy to style! I trimmed the base wig to fix up the bangs, but didn’t do anything to the extension. The gray wig has a silver sheen, and it’s the perfect color for Luo Tianyi!

It’s too early to tell if the wig extension tangles easily or not, but the fibers are all smooth and even if they tangle, they should be easy to detangle with a wig comb or wig brush. The base wig is short and does not tangle at all. The fibers have a silvery sheen but do not look too shiny. This wig looks fantastic in photos! The base wig is also thick; my hair does not show through the wefts.

If you want to cosplay Luo Tianyi, this wig is perfect! It’s easy to wear and saves you the trouble of trying to make the hair extensions yourself. Here is the link to the wig, if you’re interested! Be sure to use the coupon code “xiaorawr” for 10% off!

I’ll review the circle lenses next, but if you want to see the product now, here is the link. I will update this post with the link to my circle lens review once it is live. Let me know if you have any questions!
