The lipstick I ordered for Komugi arrived this morning! Partially out of curiosity, partially out of confusion of what else I'd wear, I ordered one of those funky Avon SpectraColor lipsticks from eBay from the USA to give it a try. They have them over here in the catalogue, but srsly, £10 for a lipstick that's $9.50 in the USA is a rip off :/ and they get 4 more colours too! Agdjsagf.

Anyhow I ordered one in "The Berries", a nice pinky colour without being too pink (lol) for like £5 including postage. Figured that even if I don't like it, it's not bad to spend £5 on a lipstick that's apparently 7 colours in one and it's not the most I've spent before on one. Turns out it's not actually all that bad! It's more like a gloss than a stick, but it's nicely pigmented - really nice mix of clear and colour. Applicator's a bit odd though. But it should do nicely for Komugi if I apply some sparkly gloss over the top? I'll have to experiment and see what'll be *kawaiii~* enough for it lol.

But anyway less about makeup more about life :|

I was ughh really really worried a couple days ago. I didn't post about it and tried to keep my head up and focused on other things cause I felt like I was in a gutter and didn't feel too sociable about it. I've been feeling like a failure a lot lately. In any case, apparently, I've been "referred" for this year at University and have to redo some work from this year. I asked my lecturers what I'd failed. And well, a bit of digging and investigating later, and it turns out it was for an essay done in JANUARY that nobody told me had any issues about it. It's been listed as a "non submission".

Thing is, I handed in the work, but somewhere it's got LOST in their office when they moved buildings. Or that certainly seems to be the case.

I'm gonna see what happens but otherwise, I've passed everything!! I know for a fact I've got 2 firsts this semester, wooooo!!, but I shall find out tomorrow or Saturday what all my results are. Lets hope I get some good luck X_______X;; haha... I probably should've dedicated myself more this year, but I put a lot of effort in regardless, so fingers crossed!!

Also Mugimaru is donnneee beside having his hat, tail, bow and feet sewed on. Oh and his butt sewn up lol. But everything is finished otherwise!! Eeee :D he's so cute. Pics when he's finished up!! I hope I can get Momoi to sign him at Aya.

He's done!! He's so cute and pudgey! Forgive his "jaunty hat" and uneven ears, they're not actually, they're just wonky in the photo lol. And I was going to add a cotton panel to his back to be signed but I figured Momoi can just sign his hat or something instead? Probably his hat. Just means he's accurate as a prop, rather than having a big white patch on his back.

Many thanks to Shido who did a lot of handsewing on him to get him finished since we stuffed him too early - I'm awful at handsewing (though I did handsew his.. er.. face? XD). He's full of polystyrene beans so he makes a proper beanbag plush noise when you squidge him. Oh man.. I could rave forever.. he's just so cute!! An adorable perverted little prop.

As for Komugi herself, these are the things left to do before she's completely finished:

- START WORK ON HAT. <-- no.1 priority lol.
- Dye, style & make accessories for the wig. Need to order more wefts soon!!
- Finish dress; add poppers, fastening strip and add cuffs & buttons
- Finish bow & tail, and attach to dress
- Modify gloves & attach bangles
- Modify stripey panties .. lol .. no foolin'
- Make namebadge
- Make new petticoat (not a priority)
- Design makeup & decide what I'll be taking for it. Lol.

Sooooo... I think I should start the hat. Should I start the hat? I think I should. Ugh. Really difficult part! ;__;

At least once Komugi's done I can start work on my other costumes. Luke still needs that red button sewing..
