Old skincare thread >>9410256
Is hemp seed oil (not hemp oil, that's completely different) a good moisturizer for oily, acne, prone skin? I'm working on changing my diet to help reduce my acne as well since I do believe it is hormonal, cutting milk out helped and sugar is the next step, but it's so hard to give up sugar, especially when you're American and in college and it's hard to avoid
>>9461903
Yes Hemp seed oil can be used as a beauty oil. In general any oils higher in Linoleic Acid can be used on an acne prone face with no problems because they are not comedogenic. That does not mean you should stop listening to your skin of course and if you have a reaction, cut it out.
I personally used it for DIY oil cleaning with good results. Be aware it has a shelf life and requires refrigeration. If its not longer brightly green-yellowy colored and loses that nutty smell its gone and turned on you.
>>9461950
So do I just apply it on my skin and leave it or should I only use it as a oil cleanser? I'm new to the whole idea of oil for skincare (except for oil cleansing, I can't live without my Banila Clean It Zero)
Might be a dumb question, but do face rollers/face shapers do anything for anti-aging? I'm in my mid twenties and have always taken excellent care of my skin on the surface- but I feel like I need to do something about the muscles under my skin bc i feel like i'm starting to look saggy sometimes

I know these often focus around j-fash, but I would love some good cosplay photographers to follow, especially ones I might not have heard of before.
I posted right as the last thread got deleted.
Lolita, cats, sometimes food, miscellaneous other shit.

Fucking Christ, I'm sorry. My phone apparently doesn't have any setting for saving photos aside from 'fuckhuge.'
Do you guys ever work with poster board? What's the last thing you made?
I have 4 boards left over from a project and I'm looking for ideas aside from more swords and shields

>I'm looking for ideas aside from more swords and shields
How about Dick swords and Ass shields.
>>9557795
In my experiences, poster board is unreliable unless stacked together, and even then theres 1000x easier ways to do it.
My advice? Go to home depot and invenst in evc foam. It's cheap and flexible. The last thing I made was a mask for my friend's film. Now i'm working on a prop pistol for my friend's blizzcon cosplay.
I don't use it for cosplay projects. I use it for simple product packaging and signs for artist alley.
Old thread. >>9549923
Come here to whine and gripe about /cgl/ thongs.
I fell asleep at McDonald's in my lolita. This is a new low for me.
I didn't make any friends.
The old school OP I bought off Wunderwelt came in today and I love it, but the zip gets stuck halfway and I'll probably have to get it replaced by a tailor.
I guess it's not a big deal but I feel bad altering such nice oldschool brand....
Old one is saging

I asked my question right as the last thread ended, how do you repoof a lolita petticoat?
>>9535277
I know, but they're 25$, hard to get, and that's without shipping it from some shady country. I was looking for alternatives as I don't need much. I have polyester resin and I need a translucent green tinted result.
But i figured i'm just going to airbrush the surface and then put leds under it

WW has been on a roll adding a bunch of old school items to their main site and to their account on LM. Somebody hit the BIN on a btssb cake purse seconds before I did. One second it was there, the next it was sold out. I miss the old cake bags and cake hats.
Anybody have any old school lolita twinning/coord matching photos?
I just really love oldschool black and white.

My normie Japanese friend Misako?
The new Peppermint Fox release looks pretty cute. Will you be getting anything from it? How has their quality been lately?
>>9529553
These brands existed long before her and whatever she defines them as.
For when brands put out questionable items. Ads/promotional material such as fashion show coords okay too
Not everyone may find this piece ugly but to me it's an eyesore
>>9523882
I don't really care for how huge the border print is and the top seems too cluttered IMO.
>>9523908
AP chose such weird colors for this. Actually, AP chose weird everything for this. Which is a shame because the art itself is cute.

What are your favorite prints/motifs/styles/accesories in lolita? What would you like to see more of in the fashion??
My favorite styles are pastel sweet (up to OTT sweet), gothic, hime, and old school. I love space/moon/stars, toys, unicorns, crosses, roses, skulls, Halloween, and stained glass prints. I'm also a really big fan of holographic stuff (think Cotton Candy Feet's holo shoes), chunky platforms, RHS, shaped bags, and big, fluffy, yet natural looking wigs. I would like to see more old school (especially sweet) coordinates, casual sort of everyday coordinates, OTT pastel vomit sweet (miss those days), and more gothic coordinates too that don't lean to classic.
What prints/motifs/styles/accesories that you detest/dislike? What are things that you consider ita? What would you like to see less of or wish would die out in the fashion??
I dislike (but don't hate - other lolitas really pull this off well) browns, chocolate prints, some classic lolita, horizontal row prints (like Promenade de Paris), salopettes (they fit Fairy Kei better) and low waist cuts. I fully hate and find ita split color wigs, belts (unless the coord is more vintage-y), steampunk lolita, blouse-less coordinate trend (unless they're wearing a bolero or something), coords with no legwear, and normie, non-loliable shit mixed into a lolita coord. I would like to see less of OTT classic coords, "rulebreaking" coordinates (like honestly there's a reason why the fashion has rules, so far none of those coords are cute imo), and horrible fandom prints and dresses.
These are all my opinions and you can disagree with me or not, in the end just do you. But what are things that you gulls like and dislike in the fashion?

Solid/No prints, berets, open bust style jsk, high waisted skirts, old school, small poof, natural hair, especially natural short hair, book prints, burgundy, monochrome co ords, knees showing, rule breaking, edgy tumblr lolita, all black coords with silver accessories, long sleeved blouses, high neck blouses with cravats, twinning with boystyle & lolita equivalent, black tights, chunky boots, peeking bloomers
