I'm moving blogs!

Hello, reader!

I want to quickly announce that I am moving my cosplay blog into thewrongalice-cosplay.tumblr.com. BUT I won't delete this blog, or any of the posts, because I have posted reviews here that might still be of help to others. With that said, this will be my last post and I won't update this blog anymore. My new blog will still be a partner of Infinity Studios.

It was hard for my to decide to leave Blogspot since this was my first blogging love, but I found that this wasn't the best platform for me to share my cosplay and related experiences. This site has become a little buggy and since it has no mobile app (and the site isn't very mobile-friendly) and managing it on the go has become difficult.

I recently made a personal(ish) aesthetic blog on Tumblr and found that Tumblr is a better platform for me to reach out to other people who are interested in the same things as I am. It has a better feedback system, in my opinion, and I can connect to more people that way.

Blogspot isn't completely a terrible blogging platform. I think it's a great platform if you're interested in blogging, but the site hasn't been very helpful for me recently. It's just my personal preference.

With that being said, I say goodbye to my first blog and say hello to my new one.

Cheers to moving on!

Love, Aki.

Tutorial: Gradient Lips

I know that there are millions of different tutorials on how to make gradient lips scattered all around the world wide web, and the world hardly needs another tutorial. But I decided to share my knowledge and show different tips and tricks on how to achieve different styles of gradient lips.

This style of lip makeup is a widely popular Korean trend, also known as 'lip ombre' or 'just bitten' style. It makes the lips look smaller and stained, without accentuating the lip lines strongly or overdrawing them.

Recent Haul from Korean Story!

After being on a 'budget lockdown' for quite some time, I decided to save up some money to splurge a little bit with Korean Story once again. This time, I wanted to buy a couple of items that Etude House released and were hard to find in the Philippines.

Wig Review: The Second Nachname

If you're a regular buyer of wigs from Taobao, you may have most likely heard of The Second Nachname as a popular wig supplier. Most of their wigs boast of good quality and their prices are a little bit more on the higher range but I've heard nothing but praise from buyers of this brand.

Still Lost: Ozine Fest AFS 2015

And here goes last year's end of the year event! Ozine was kind enough to organize the closing convention for 2015, giving everyone a chance to celebrate their inner geek before 2016 rolls in.

Cosplay Summary 2015

I must say, 2015 has been a roller coaster of emotions on my part but I am happy to look back at this year's cosplays and view them as achievements. This year has been very kind to me in terms of my hobby. 2015 was a year of very exciting opportunities.

Let's look back at the past 365 days, shall we?
