Amo Wig Review from CosQueen

If you havent heard of AMOYAMO before, definitely check them out. They're an adorable duo that started out as models for magazines such as KERA, a magazine featuring lots of spunky Harajuku fashions! Naturally, I'm a big fan :) 

They both have awesome style and they started making J-Pop music that is also worth a listen! I never was a huge fan of J-Pop but i actually like their stuff quite a bit. I've had their song 'A☆M☆O☆Y★A★M★O ' stuck in my head quite a few times lol

So I recently acquired some new wigs for my shop CosQueen, and I really wanted to take this Amo-inspired wig for a test run as soon as I saw it. I seriously considered dyeing my hair like Amo's before i saw this wig :P. I'm just so in love with the subtle tones of lavender/mauve/cocoa. It reminds me of sweet mulberry tea c:

I took it out of the bag and holy guacamole, was I impressed. This wig is so soft and thick, i could tell i wasnt going to be disappointed. I have to admit, when I first saw the stock picture I wondered if the colors would be true, and if they would suit my skintone...  usually muted colors look pretty bad on me. Thankfully all those worries were quickly banished when i tried it on!

Circle lenses: EOS V-201 Pure Brown

'Gen spotted a wild cupcake. mmmm.'
The mini bat clip and ice cream ring are both handmade, from my accessory brand 'Alice Dear'!

This wig is as thick as some of my Prisila wigs!! I was very impressed and I cannot say enough good things about this wig <3 

• The curls are my favorite type of curl; not too ringlet-y, not too wavy. 
• I tend to get annoyed with wigs that are longer than 70 cm, so this one was the perfect length for me at 60cm! 
• Its slightly longer than my natural hair and it detangles so easily, even just with my fingers. I have a really good wig brush as well, but i didnt have to use it at all.
• Its heat resistant, so I could curl the bangs to get that Amo style right, same with her little side tails xD
• And of course its adjustable, like most wigs are of this quality :)

Cliché cat face lol

Where can you buy one for yourself?

You can pre-order it from me in my Facebook shop CosQueen! I'm having a sale on wigs and EOS circle lenses right now! The pre-order ends on March 28th, but you can get all contact lenses for $15/pair and all wigs 10% off until March 22nd! 

The lenses I'm wearing are EOS V-201 'Pure Brown' Series! Also available in my shop ^^

Toronto Comic Con Recap

This past weekend was Toronto Comic Con at the  Metro Toronto Convention Center!

Its run by the same people who host FanExpo Canada every summer. Usually there is an anime convention around this time of year (Toronto Anime Con, also known as MTAC), but this year it seems they combined the comic con and the anime con. I had been to MTAC in previous years and it was usually pretty small.. this year, it was huge and i totally wasn't expecting the size!!

I was preparing until pretty late the night before. My friend Celena slept over and helped out too, counting my inventory, gluing stuff, cutting things etc. It sped up things quite considerably and im very grateful!

We woke up at 6am, did some last minute crafting, got dressed and then we got picked up by two of the SP crew, MaddSketch and Vince Sunico! They helped me load all of the table stuff into their car which was a huge help.

I had a table this year with the help of Spent Pencils, an art group im a part of.
Here are some pics of what my booth looked like! I'm the one in the Hime getup, and Celena is in the purple/pink wig.

Celena took way better detail shots than me lol

I had a bunch of alpacas, but they all sold out within the first day!! My table was located pretty far in the back so I needed to figure out a way to attract people. I bought helium balloons that we tied to the alpacas and i also bought a huge bottle of bubble solution that i used during down periods!

We had a little sheep called Freddy who guarded are wares with his fluff.

 ...But then he got impaled by a borg...

 R.I.P. Freddy the 16th. He will be missed.

On Saturday i really wanted a chance to wear this Anna house OP that I had bought a while ago.

 So I decided to pair it with hime style hair.

From Celena's instagram!

Blingified lol

The only downside was the sleeves were pretty long on my dress and whenever I wanted to point out stuff to customers on the table i knocked stuff over all the time..

I actually got interviewed by someone for George Strombolopolous which was cool at first, but then he asked me kinda annoying/awkward things.

Interviewer: How old are you?
Me: *laughs* Forever 17!
Interviewer: So i guess this means what we're doing is illegal
Me: that depends, are you going to do something inappropriate???
Interviewer: Maybe.. Dundundunnn
Interviewer: *whispers* we're not going to air that part *laughs*
Me: (thinks to myself)...So that people wont know how creepy you actually are, right?.. =_=

.....uhh weird

By Sunday I was really tired from the first day and you could tell cuz in some of the photos i just looked like i was wincing in pain instead of smiling haha so sorry to all the people who got pictures of me on that day fffff

My plain makeup on Sunday. Excuse the winter jacket it was bloody cold.

I dont really have a lot of pictures of myself on Sunday, cuz i was pretty busy and forgot. It wasnt anything special anyways haha. I wore Angelic Pretty's Sugary Carnival in lavender that I hadnt got a chance to wear yet either. It's one of my dream prints that i recently got my hands on in a trade!

We got interviewed by a show called 'Talk Nerdy to Me'. The host was a lot nicer and chill and he wore one of my wigs while they filmed which was pretty funny cuz he had a goatee too xD i think its supposed to air online, but i havent checked yet.

herpderp

And to finish this post, have some pics of the cosplayers who posed for us!

Jack Frost!!! She bought some adult blue contacts from me and came back wearing them!! It looked so amazing <3

Crazy amazing armour

Zombie Victoria's Secret Angel!

Impromptu Home Photoshoot

My reading week is ending today so I have to go back to school tomorrow sniff sniff

I decided since I havent dressed up in a while to have some fun with makeup and clothes etc etc. 

To boot, I wanted some new pictures for the cover of my fanpage cuz all of the pictures havent been updated for a year or more. It was a LOT of fun herpderping and I got some nifty pictures out of it too~!

I was going to do a makeup tutorial but i didnt do anything special this time so nevermind :/ Anyway here's a picture of me in my pyjamas pre-eyelashes.

Hat: Mbok

Jacket: Urban Planet

Top: Parasuco

(No j-brands for this, too lazy lol)

Makeup: Im actually wearing two pairs of falsies on top of each other haha, Spring Heart and Daisou lashes!! ( I have the fancy brands etc but why bother when you can get the same look with cheaper ones :P)

Lenses: EOS GBK-2 - These are so big and black sometimes i pretend im one of the demons from Supernatural (´▽｀)ノ♪  lol you would too okay

Then I tried Hime-Gyaru again:

This is my fave^ I like how the lighting turned out.

Top: Yumetenbou/DreamV

Hair: Prisila full wig and two volume half-wigs in TMGX (it was a lot of hair!!)

Necklace: Alice Dear (I made it c:)

Herp derp

aww yiss

I did all this in a couple of hours with just my Canon Rebel T3i, my tripod, an external flash, and a remote shutter release thingie (and of course photoshop after lol).

I sometimes feel like I do these shoots to justify all the time I waste looking at makeup tutorials and buying fancy clothing that I never wear  ～(￣▽￣～) !!
