My Kawaii and Gothic Bag Collection

Time for another video!  This time with my wig that I'm still learning how to wear @_@  So please excuse the terrible styling.  I even forgot a wig cap :)  That's how talented I am when it comes to wigs.  I feel like I should have colored my eyebrows a lighter color now that I'm looking back at the footage, but it's too late.

Hello my dears!  I recently received my order from Meduas's Makeup, which is a USA indie vegan b]d makeup

and now I've done makeup videos for it!  I didn't wear the wig this time as I'm trying to cut the hairline to look more natural so it's a work in progress ^u^

Chinese Style Hair Tutorial

In preparation for this month's Lolita meetup, I've been doing a bit of history and also just watching historic cosplayers' tutorials.  Many hairstyles require false hair bits (I've used those before in my dance troupe for performances) but I found one that could work for Lolita fashion.  I've worn my hair is similar ways before, but this time I loop the tail end of the twintails back to be more historically accurate (and cute!).  I braided my hair as it the texture holds the shape better, but the historic cosplayer I saw did the hairstyle without braiding it, so mine is a modern take.

You can't even see the buns because my hair accessories are so large

I also made video tutorials for this style!  There are two ways to do it depending on how long your hair is ^u^  Currently my hair is only medium-long so I do it the "cheating" way
