Rae's Corner

So hey eveyone, just a post to remind you all that I have a Patreon account. It would be greatly apreciated if you could share my page on other social media, because I am stuck in a rut that I am not so sure that I will be able to keep my summer job. Without my summer job I will not be able to pay for summer housing and I don't know if I would have a place to stay. So i'm asking even if you can't donate, could you please share this post. Thanks. https://www.patreon.com/raekanahime Rae April 27th, 2015 Youtube  -  Twitter  -  Facebook  -  WorldCosplay  -  Tumblr  -  Instagram  -  Patreon  -  Twitch

I got sponsored to review two pairs of lenses from Klenspop!  I got the email to pick either Cosplay or Circle Lenses the other day from Klenspop and I chose to review their Cosplay contacts, because I know how hard it cam be to find cosplay contact reviews on darker colored eyes, and or non photoshopped images that really show what the lenses look like once they are on. So the two that I picked out of their selection are   ARTRIC Red  and  ARTRIC White . I am hoping that they send the lenses via EMS so that I can get them before I make my room change for the summer. Though also with me luck that my grades pull through with a 2.5 GPA or higher. It has been a long hard semester but the summer is here. If you would like to check out all of their lenses you can click here to go over to their site. Have a good day Everyone!

Yay they finally came! Here are my Ciel curse lenses that I bought from Alice and Rabbit's Shop. Fresh out of the envelope The Vials and the case that I got with them In the vials,  Ciel's contract and a Crystal Max blue lens. Ok, so here is my review on these lenses. I ordered these back in the beginning of march but due to the fact that they were actually out of stock I had to wait for them to send them out to me about two weeks ago. The company was very nice in emailing me about a day later after I placed my order to let me know that they were out of stock, and kindly asked if  I would like to either cancel my order or wait. I chose to wait and they emailed me back quickly as well as kept me updated about the status of the lenses. Over all my entire order with the shop was easy and not stressful at all. I do recommend ordering from them. Though now on to the lenses themselves. Here are the lenses in the free case that comes with the order

So here is part two of me working on the character 

Just the other day I was in cosplay and did a presentation at my last job training and I was asked what is cosplay and why I do cosplay. So I thought hey why not make a blog post about it So what is cosplay - Cosplay is short for Costume Play. Which is literally just as it sounds. Being able to dress up as a character from either a book, movie or show you name it. Cosplay can be very simple or very detailed. All cosplay no matter how it may look is still cosplay, and more importantly cosplay is for everyone no matter how old you are or how you look. Anyone can do cosplay. So why do I cosplay - I cosplay because I enjoy the chance to get out and step into someone else shoes even if it it a character that does not exists in the real world. I have always had a problem with being the center of attention, though I have looked for attention sometimes when I would feel like no one knew I was there. So over the years going from wanting to not wanting attention has really made me too shy

So I haven't finished editing this yet, but this is the first half of me coloring the character that will become part of my stories and such in the future and become my mascot for Cosplay and Create with Rae.

So at my school we have a button press that we are allowed to check out so long as you are apart of a club that meets on campus. Any way a friend of mine picked up the button press and I have been able to put one of my drawings onto some of the buttons. --> Here are two of my main buttons. I do have a limited amount so I will be giving them away on my Patreon to those who pledge the highest amount. So it would be replacing the sticker give away for the month until I run out of buttons. Patreon *I will also be making a few character buttons just for show, which will be added to this post once I get them made so be looking forward to that. Currently my Ciel curse lenses are in the Philippines though they should be here by next week I hope so that I can do a review on them. I have heard that they are very good quality though the reviews that I have seed have been done by others with light colored eyed so I have no idea how they will look on my dark eyes. I just hope that th

So the other night I got pretty bored and started playing with some of my makeup and then I was like why not so I took more pictures of me in my Ciel cosplay this time with my contacts. I only liked two of the photos that I took and then I edited it a few times and cant decide which of the three that I liked most. So here they are, tell me what you think about the bottom three in the comments section. Also I am going to be doing some fanart soon, I have some ideas but do any of you have characters in mind that you would like to see me draw?

So I received my Dolly+ Blue contacts in the mail this past Friday and I must say that the look better than I thought they would considering how dark my eyes are and because this is my very first experience with contacts at all.  I have one in to compare the size difference  With them both in and better lighting Dolly+ Blue Usage Modality:  Yearly BC:  8.6 mm DIA:  14.5 mm Water content:  42% Package:   1 animal Q case included Overall I really love these contacts, they are very comfortable and the enlargement and color are very nice with these contacts, the opening for the pupil is large so there was no color halo and I honestly forgot that I was wearing them until I looked in the mirror. * Comfort - 4/5 * Size - 5/5 * Color - 4/5 * Effect - 4/5     Each pair of lenses comes with a mystery animal case and lots of their lenses are on sale right now.  Here are my lenses in the case next to the box that they came in. (each lens was originall

Hello Everyone!    So I have been wanting to cosplay Ciel for a long time now, but I never had the money to do so until just recently. It is one of my first real cosplays, I mean i have dressed similar to Link from the legend of Zelda, and even close to L from Death Note but I have never done a real cosplay that was made to look exactly like the one from the game or book. Either way I am a huge fan of Black Butler so I went ahead and chose to make Ciel the first full cosplay in my collection.  The outfit that I got came from aliexpress.com . I was lucky enough to get it while it was on sale for 59$ which is the lowest that I could find this outfit for. The whole thing came with The Shirt, Vest, Shorts, Tailing, Eye Patch, Tie/Ribbon, Flower Hair clip and Socks. On the site you can choose from S, M, L,, XL and Free. The free option allows you to send in your measurements and they will make it to your size, which I highly recommend. Not only because it would fit way better b

I finally got the email that said that my Ciel Curse contacts are finally being shipped! At the beginning of March I placed an order for the Ciel Curse lenses from Alice and Rabbit's shop only to find that they had been sold, though the staph was really nice and have kept me up to date that they were getting them made and would ship out soon. So now here we are in April and they are now on their way, so aside from the Dolly+ Blue that I will be reviewing in the next few days or so be on the look out for my review on my Ciel Curse lenses in the future. -Rae April 8th, 2015 Youtube  -  Twitter  -  Facebook  -  WorldCosplay  -  Tumblr

I want to do some fan art, I know for one I really want to do Sebastian and Ciel from Black Butler. Anyone else out there got any ideas?

I will be making a review video about the Dolly+ Blue contacts that I just ordered from Honeycolor.com once I get them 3.I will also do a small review on my wig that I am using which i found on ebay. 4.

So I started a Patreon https://www.patreon.com/creation?hid=2139305&rf=681088 It's not much of anything yet considering i'm doing this at 5am like a nut, but its a start. I am hoping to have my video up inroducing my Patreon by the weekend and I am hoping to have some line work up as well. So we will see how this goes. -Rae April 6th, 2015   Youtube  -  Twitter  -  Facebook  -  WorldCosplay  -  Tumblr                                  

So I took these pictures with just some clothes that I have in my closet so that I could test the eye patch that i'm working on and just to see how I would manage without makeup on either, an I actually liked the results that I got before and after I did the edits (which are the ones posted below). So this is my attempt at that wonderful smile that Ciel put on while he was at school. Unfortunately I didn't have the picture up when I took the photo but I still like what I came up with. -Rae April 5th, 2015 Youtube  -  Twitter  -  Facebook  -  WorldCosplay  -  Tumblr

Hello everyone! My first cosplay will be Ciel Phantomhive from Black Butler  (His actual cosplay that I ordered will come soon)                So this is a new thing for me, I have attempted blogs with blogger before but just never really had anything to put up and or I just didn't have the time. I'm in college now and am still very busy with things but i'm doing my best to get into some of the things that I want to do.               So this blog will follow my progress into cosplay, be it crafting something I bought and even reviews on things that are new for me like contacts (coming in a few days.. YAY) and or different wigs from different suppliers as I grow my collection.              Also on this blog I will be posting other things like my art from broth my on personal drawings to some of the things that I do in my art classes. I might even toss in so language stuff too because i'm still learning Japanese and of course I am an Orientation Leader at
