Just chillin'

Soooo 1/3 of my maturita exam is done. Hope I made it and no need to re-take it in September. Today our school organized Majáles (derived from the May, since it's celebration which tooks place in May) with which is also connected "the last bell" when seniors dress up into costumes and go to streets asking for money from adults so they can have leaving school party !

We got up really, I mean really early today so we could beg for money near the mine. Waking up at 3.30am, hearing like 1000 times "sorry" - totally worth it !! I mean it.

Madhatter, White Rabbit and Alice by us. Some guy took photo for us.
You boy ! You took kind of shitty photo >_____>

Exhausted ! In two days I'm taking the 2/3 of my maturita exam and that hot weather is really killing meh. There is no time for fun...or there shouldn't be ! But I really miss having fun with my bros, so there's always time for those crazy parties with them..


"Can I borrow your wig?"
"NO!"
"Pretty pleeeeeeeeeeeease"
"...."

There's also AnimeFest starting by Friday. I should be making strips at my t-shirt and sewing like a hell !! I'm really curious if I can make it in time since there's lots of undone things left >____>

AnimeFest is con with long tradition. Taking place in Brno in the Czech Republic. I think it's best place to meet most talented cosplayers of CZE and in few years also of the Slovakia.

Review: Beuberry Pink (Secreteyes.org)

Here comes my first lenses review for lenses I recently ordered from an amazing e-shop SecretEyes. They offer big selection of interesting lenses, acceptable prices and communication is just great ! Just click on CATALOG in upper menu and you can chose yours too :>

Beuberry Pink
To tell the truth I spent hours on their website, even though I know which color I want to buy. There were lots of choices and I ordered lens from Beuberry series. Unfortunately they didn't have those ones so I ended up ordering this ones instead. However I'm not complaining at all!!



They really do enlarge your eye a lot.

Color   
 I really like lens which have nature-like color, which is what Beuberry Pink can offer. Design is also great, since I don't like one colored, plain lenses. I like black edge the most. One star down is just for color, which I awaited to be a little brighter on my blue eye. 

Enlargement 
Since I'm a guy, with diameter 16.0 I was really afraid of how big my eyes would be. Although it enlarge your eyes quite a lot I have no problem with size. Still perfect for coslaying with no make-up. Plus there isn't such a noticable crossing of my eye color and lens color. I had really problem with this while wearing too bright lenses.

Comfort 
Wearing them for some hours and had absolutely no problem. My eyes dry out a lot, but those ones was super comfortable.

Shipping 
Information saying it should takes about 9-10days to arrive into my country. After 5 days I could happily open my parcel at home ! Shipping was just super-duper fast. Giving 6 of 5 stars for speed !!

Overall 
It was really good experience with SecretEyes and service was willing to answer all my questions. I'm really satisfied with everything around my new pair of lens. 
They sure became one of my favorite e-shop for lenses and I'm about to order from them next time.

Make-up: Altair Ibn la'ahad

I really don't know if it'll be useful, but I just felt like sharing this one. On the other hand I think there are some tips for cosplaying male characters generally.

For make-up I used following:         dark liquid make-up
                                                               smoothing foundation
                                                               brown lipstick
                                                               black eyeshadows
                                                               one big and one small brush


  • At first I used dark liquid make-up, to make myself darker. It was really fun to watch myself as I was changing into tanned person, since I'm advoiding the sun as much as possible :3
  • In the picture below you can see red and blue marks. 
  • Red marks are showing where I used black eyeshadow. Less of them for space around mouth to make impression of stubble. Not so strong but noticable.
  • Blue ones are areas where I put brown lipstick, lightly with the finger. Since male's face has more sharp features you should accentuate cheek bone and nose. 
  • Altair has also really noticable lips, so I applied lipstick under lips too.




  • Last thing I did was a scar on his lips. I applied smoothing make-up on a pencil and just drew a line.
  • Time to kill templars !

It was so refreshing to put down that dark make-up and get back to my porcelain's white skin ˘___˘

TUTORIAL: Delic's headphones and gramophone

I though most suitable material could be boxboard, in order to survive way on cons. But I ended up buying cream foam and have 100% no complaints ! It sticks together perfectly and holds nicely :>

So I used following:      cream foam (2x pink, 3x white)
                                   scissors
                                   old pair of headphones
                                   paper
                                   hot glue gun (if you don't have one, I used first glue for wood)
                                   ruler
                                   black wire
                                   pencil, black marker

Ok, let's start with gramophone first :>



  • For body I used one pink and one white piece of cream foam. 
  • For sides I cut stripes about 1,5 cm width each one. Two pink and two white for right and left side and two pink and two white for upper and lower side. DON'T FORGER TO USE RULER !! It holds really bad together when you cut without lines..
  • For handle I cut those pieces on the picture up here :> (really don't know how to explain it better than with picture, sorry  guys)
  • Then I glued all pairs of stripes together with hot glue gun like this ↓↓↓



Handle should looks like this after puting it all togehter ↓↓↓


Next step it's up to you guys. Front side; you can personalize it the way you like. You can just draw lines, or use again cream foam like me. Since I'm big detailist, I cut that speaker, stripe after stripe from foam and even did entry for headphones. 



  • In the picture 1. you can see where I did cut - the entry for headphones ↑↑↑
  • In the picture 2. I cut out little circle with hole in the middle, and glued it on entry. It makes impression of speaker or computer entry for headphones.
  • The last thing I did was that I glued it all together and tadaaaaaah !!

Ok, now the headphones.

  • I did a draft of shape for headphones. It's better to measure it twice or three times, so it's not too short for covering headphones.

  • I used those thin stripes for edges, for covering headphones from behind. They should be thicker !! I did those strips about 8mm. 
  • And then glued headphones inside where the red lines are.

That's all, your headphones are done !! :>



It took me about 2hours, since I used glue at first. I even burn myself with hot glue T^T but it was worth it. I'm really satisfied with final look.
