Cosplay WIP: Pentakill Sona (League of Legends) #1

Welcome back everyone :) DarthNancy here!

Yes, yes here is another WIP post! Why so many of these lately, you ask? Because I am trying not to procrastinate on my cosplay projects and I want to get stuff dooooone~! And this way I can update you guys on what I've been up to ;) 

Currently one of my long-awaited cosplay projects is Pentakill Sona. Sona is by far my favorite champion because she was my main when I was playing LoL. This version of Sona is also my favorite because 1) she's a redhead, 2) she is all rocked out, 3) her instrument is totally badass, and 4) her instrument has a raven skull (Ravens are my favorite animal!). So yaaas I am super stocked to finally be doing this!

Circle Lens Review: EOS Dolly Eye Green

Hello Generation of Cosplayers!

Long time no see everyone! DarthNancy here with another circle lens review~ This time it is for the lenses that I have worn the most! These are from the EOS Dolly Eye series in the color green. This line of circle lenses stands out because of their very vibrant shades. I picked it because the green looked GREEN! It ended up being a pretty great choice, which I will explain in the review!

Eyebrow Coloring Tutorial: Bleaching Method

Hello Generation of Cosplayers ❤

Today's I'm bringing you a topic that enrages me to my very core: coloring eyebrows for cosplay. I'm of the opinion that coloring your eyebrows to match your wig makes your cosplay look a little better. Of course, it is not necessary to do this, but I like taking that extra step to make my cosplay look a bit more complete. Buuuut, I have very dark and thick eyebrows. Coloring them is insanely difficult and it makes me want to punch someone in the face  something Dx For all of you who might have a hard time doing this too, here's a tutorial for one of the methods of coloring your eyebrows (and what I use as a base for all the other coloring methods I will be posting about). Enjoy ^_^ or you know, rage and go into a fit of hysterical madness because coloring eyebrows just sucks.

This method involves bleaching your eyebrows with Cream Bleach. This sounds scary, but it helps lighten very dark eyebrows. I do this occasionally when I feel like doing it. Don't worry, the effects of lighting the hairs goes away in a couple of weeks (so your eyebrows won't stay super light forever).

Tip Tuesday #5: Sewing Machine

Hi everyone!

Welcome to another Tip Tuesday post.

Today's topic will be...sewing machines!

Sewing machines are scary. If you have very little experience with sewing like I did, a sewing machine will be extremely intimidating. The first time we tried to use a sewing machine, it was a bit of a disaster xD We had no idea how to thread it even after looking up several Youtube videos. But, with a bit of practice I have been able to get pretty good at using my sewing machine! So I wanted to offer a few tips on how to go about familiarizing yourself with a sewing machine :)

• What kind of sewing machine should I start with? Start with something simple that does not have too many settings. I have a Brother LS-2125. It is simple and it is relatively inexpensive. It is a really great starter sewing machine! But you can use any machine you can get. As long as you have the user manual, you should be able to get around to use it.
