AB & Hair cut!

I'm so late! Here's a picture of the dress that I wore for Anime Boston:
It was really comfortable and I really liked the lace designs all over it. :) As for my makeup and hair, I just curled it in the morning and used simple black eyeshadow on my lids and under my eyes. When I left the convention center, SO many people gave me odd looks! (laughs) I passed by a 3 year old with her mom and she said, "Look Mommy! It's a real kitty!" She was referring to my cat ears!!! Best 3 year old ever.

Anyways, I had such a wonderful time! I glomped so many pokemon like a true fangirl! :) It was definitely the best AnimeBoston I've ever had. I even met one of the best World of Warcraft players in the world! He's one of the smartest men that walk the planet and he's hilarious! His wife must be lucky! Wahaha! So, he gave us tips on how to play our warlocks and I copied his talent tree for destruction. He's practically God in my eyes....The saddest part is I don't even remember his name...(Dies)

Onto the next topic:

I cut my own hair! Yes that's right! I followed this brilliant youtuber, x3haha, at cutting a mullet hairstyle! I also went ahead and started snipping at my hair and added some bangs!

Wahaha! This was me snipping my bangs last night. Here is this morning when I cut the mullet:
Well, this is an okay example. I promise it looks more like a leaf in real life! :)
This is the first time I've ever cut my hair by myself so I'm extremely satisfied compared to my old hair where I just clip a section up and call it bangs! Ahahaha...Anyways, I'm very happy with the result. It's not a perfect mullet; it's still very choppy and the layers aren't super distinctive from each other, but that's okay! I'll do better next time (maybe).

Here is a link to x3haha's video on how to cut the mullet. It takes her around 5 minutes...It took me 1 hour and 30 minutes! LOL. Well, what can I say? I have think hair! ;D (excuses excuses...) By the way, my hair is shorter than her's, but she's very concise and it's such an easy tutorial! Definitely my new favorite hair guru!

AB IS TOMORROW!


My excitement is jumping off the walls right now! I'm packing my supplies for tomorrow and all my junk! :) (Extreme happiness!)

On a side note, I bought Covergirl Lashblast Mascara and Covergirl smokyshadow blast in Onyx Smoke yesterday.

Covergirl Lastblast Mascara:
This is by far the best mascara I have ever used before! In fact, you don't even need to curl your lashes before using this. It's just amazing on its own. Also, there's no clumping! I also like the case. It's not difficult to remove either! The one problem is that you need to stay away from water or else it'll smear all over! Of course, that applies to non-waterproof mascaras of any type. This is just the best one I've used so far!
This product is pretty famous and I think it's one of Covergirl's most prized products. A lot of celebs swear by this mascara and a lot of reviewers tend to like it too! I'm certainly one of them. :)



I really liked the feel of the smokyshadow blasts. The nice thing about this is that it's packed like lipstick for your eyes! You turn the tube and more comes out! :) The colors glide on very nicely and they look pretty together. The only problem is that if you put a lot of force into it, you might end up breaking the stick, so don't use too much force with these sticks.

These are a nice and easy way to do your eyes very quickly. It doesn't take any brush and it's so quick and painless! :) You can carry it anywhere without it even looking like makeup. in fact, it looks like a duel-wielded crayon!

Back to business! Anime Boston! Yes! I'll soon post pictures of the dress and a few cosplayers that I will be seeing tomorrow <3 Fun stuff!

Getting Ready for AB!

Yesss! I know, I know. It's still 3 weeks away, but I can't contain my excitement!


Anime Boston is a large New England anime convention hosted in Boston, MA. I've attended every convention for 3 years and this will be my 4th time going there! Anime conventions have always been excitement for me :). I love looking at the cosplayers and being able to make friends with everyone at the convention! It seems that everyone who goes is almost a part of a long distance family. Not to mention, it's a huge convention center which means that there is always a lot of people.

This year, I will be in a brand new gothic lolita dress. Last year, I dressed in black with white ribbons which I got from an ebay seller for $38. This year, I got a beautiful white dress with black ribbons and lace trimmings for $12!! :) I'm very happy. I definitely suggest ebay for any sort of costumes that you might want. I also use ebay to shop for Korean/japanese inspired clothing. It's a lot cheaper than the brandname websites, but they look the same!

As for hair and makeup, I will be putting my hair up in nice himegyaru curls~! For makeup, I will be following Michelle Phan's Tim Burton look on YT. If you haven't seen Michelle Phan's videos, you're missing ou on a lot of life! :) (www.youtube.com/user/MichellePhan) She's extremely inspirational and has changed my view on makeup.

Now on to the topic of SHOES....I don't want to have to resort to silver sandals with a pure white dress...

I also need a pair of thigh high socks...hmmm....

Lots of thinking to do! Ah well, I've got 3 weeks. :)
