EMU NATION WINS ONCE AGAIN!!!!! 🗣

[upsidedownsmore]

Hollowframe 57 + Umbra, my submission for the TennoCon 2024 Community Showcase!

Sorry that it took this long to post! This update is special for many reasons, and I'll go through them all here!

First up, Dante AND Jade!

This is the first time I've added two frames to the project at once, rushing to get both finished in time for Tennocon. In order to do so I had to skip making backgrounds for them, however I still plan on making them as soon as I'm able!

You can find more details about the delay and my change of plans regarding their solo compositions in the thread here

In addition to the two new frames, I also took the liberty to rework and tweak a bunch of the older designs that I felt weren't fitting the goal of the project well enough. It was nice drawing simpler designs again! (old on left, new on right)

Here's a timelapse of the changes made to the poster! Tumblr can only have one video per post, so you can find a twitter reply with videos for Dante and Jade here!

Now to get sappy, cause this poster had two journeys through Tennocon! The first being that it got accepted into the community showcase, so here's pics of that! What an absolute honor omg

The second journey was my own personal print, which got signed by so many amazing and lovely people from DE!! I'm SO glad I got the poster printed for myself from Mercury Blueprinting the day of TennoVIP oh my lorrrrd

I might as well add that you can also find all this in my new ArtStation portfolio! Link to it here:

Aaand if you want to check out the Hollowframe Google Drive folder for free or more, it's now available on my new Ko-fi! Link to it here:

Previous Hollowframe update:

I think that's it! There's no way I would have ever guessed how far this project would go when I started it 3 years ago. Thank you guys so much for the support throughout the years, just absolute insanity and i'm losing my ability to word good i still cant get over iiiiiiiiiiiit

Cutie Reviews: NMNL Oct 18

Hello! Welcome to the blog :3 today we will be covering the NoMakeNoLife October 2018 box. This was one of the last few “this style” produced, so soon we’ll be getting to the brand new, remade NMNL reviews.

I hope you enjoy the review~

It’s a little hard to see but there is a design for this cover.

“This month we are joining in on the fun and celebrating all the glamorous spookiness. Whether or not you are planning o go out as a ghoulish creature or a drop dead gorgeous creature of the night, we curated this month’s box to help make your special night more fun! You will find the items this month will make sure you are sending chills down the spines of those around you with how chillingly stunning you look. Now, are you ready to have a great Halloween? We hope you have a great night!”

For this month, the winner of the contest could look forward to these pretty Sailor Moon green tea scented hand cream and 8-piece golden brush set, while runner-ups received a sailor moon Aroma UV gel.

The brushes are so pretty, I really wish I thought to enter this one~

Kyonshi Zombie Face Mask

Our first item are these ever-so-popular Halloween facial masks by Pure Smile. This year we got a cute one, based on a Chinese Zombie. It’s made from collagen, vitamin E, and Hyaluronic Acid to plump and soften the skin. As you probably can tell from the picture, the forehead tag glows also; a popular gimmick of Halloween masks.

I’m not sure what the scent is meant to be, but it smells like the fourth of July to me. By that I meant, the scent of burnt/used fireworks and noise makers. That deep sort of smoky smell?

Rating: ♥ ♥ ♥ 

Typical face mask with a semi-cute design and average results. The scent isn’t what I would say relaxing, but at the same time I’ve always kind of liked it so I didn’t hate it.

However, the glow feature barely works. It wasn’t opened prior to use, but it might be my fault for not using it when I got it; but I exposed it to light for probably two minutes prior to use, during use (from the rooms light, laptop, and an actual super-bright flashlight the entire time), and even after- it barely lit up. I’m pretty sure I have a different glowing one in my Kira Kira crate too, so we’ll see how they compare then.

I’d say skip this one unless you want to try a fun dressed-up mask and don’t have a scent preference.

Pokemon Nail Art or Body Tattoo

Our next item is our first variety of the box. Subscribers could receive either this large sheet of tattoos, or a cute little sheet of nail stickers :3 they both looked really cute, but I think I’d have preferred this one since I don’t decorate my nails very often.

So on this sheet you may notice some greenish spots. This item is called NEON Body Stickers, and it occurred to me as I’m writing this “do these glow?“ and I lifted my pillow nearby and hid under it and lo and behold they do! Like extremely bright! Not only that but the gold ones are shiny metallic.

Oh, and here’s a really cruddy shot of my hand using 2 of them:

I wanted to choose two smaller tattoo that I wouldn’t be too heartbroken over losing if I messed up or if they didn’t work, and I had to take this picture with my non-main hand... I should have thought about that before I used them.

It’s very easy to use them, you just out which one you want and remove the plastic, then place it on the desired location and soak it with a damp cloth for at least thirty seconds (but I probably did closer to 1 minute because the person I asked to help me keep an eye on the time didn’t listen...), then remove. It also suggested you give it 1 minute to dry.

As you may (or may not) be able to tell these work extremely well :D It’s been a whole day since I put them on and there’s no sign of damage or anything (but to be fair a lot of these are like that) and I’ve washed my hands several times since application. I’m in love with the metallic gold and how shiny it is, so I can’t wait to try a few more like it, and one of the neons too!

Heart Puff Set

Our third item is this ultra-kawaii heart makeup puff set! I love hearts and heart designs, so these are perfect for me, I made use of them as decorations until I got to the review. Plus they’re also a lot of fun to squeeze due to how bouncy they are :3

There are 10 hearts available, and they can be split into two pieces as you can see in the pic. I got 6 hot pink hearts and 4 white, so I’m assuming the mix of color is randomized.

Honestly, I have makeup puffs, but I never tend to use them. On the days I put on makeup I’m in a rush and I don’t think to get them and usually resort to my brush (also from these boxes) or fingers; otherwise I’d be using the silicone applicator I got some boxes ago.

However I did try one of these out by applying it to one cheek, while I used a finger on the other just to see if there was any sort of difference. I’m not sure if I imagined it but I applied them at the same time and it felt like the cheek I used the sponge on for the product soaked it in a lot quicker and it’s not sticky at all, but the other one still is. The skin feels a little different too.

I can’t see how this would relate to Halloween like at all- but as a cutesy makeup tool lover, I still give them a high rating. Plus you get so many and you can put them in several places, use them for decoration, and even use one for an art project if you wanted that perfect little heart shape. You even get a nice container to use afterwards.

Noyl Intensive Beauty Essence

This is a 30ml bottle of essence made to amplify the effect of other beauty essences and replenish the moisture in the skin and keep it looking youthful. It is made with Hyaluronic Acid and has a scent- but I have no idea what it is. It’s a... sort of... generic beauty product scent?

I’ve smelled it before, but it might just be how hyaluronic acid smells? I’m not sure. 

Rating: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ 

I applied this to the top of one my hands without putting anything else on and I can feel a difference between them. It’s also more shiny than the other hand, and they’re both already soft but it feels a tiny itty-bitty smidge softer, and smoother too. It also dries very quickly if you dislike stickiness, and the scent is very faint if you have any sensitivities to things like that.

I haven’t tried it with another product or anything yet, but considering what I noticed so far I’m convinced this will do well.

Witch’s Pouch Lipstick

This is our final item of the box, and also the featured one. An elegant looking lipstick available in pinky purple or a burgundy wine, by the brand Witch’s Pouch. This glamorous brand focuses on the mysterious and mystical styling and makes enchanting beauty products; perfect for Halloween.

So as you can tell I got the pinky purple (mauve perhaps) color. Considering my two broken eye-shadow tubes I got I was kind of worried about this one, but besides the top being slightly squished there was no problems with this one.

To my surprise I also discovered that it smells like roses; one of my favorite scents.

Rating: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ 

It went on very smooth and evenly and I’m in love with the color x3 it doesn’t clash against my pale skin like I thought it might, and it has a lovely shine and you can taste the rosiness (not that I’m saying you should eat it, it just doesn’t taste bad if you should get it in your mouth).

I think it might even be a semi-stain because when you wipe it off it still lingers on the skin for a while. I touched my lips with my finger and got a small amount of product off, and after 10 minutes I took a sip from my bottle of pop and saw some of it on there, but my lips looked perfectly fine. 

♥ Cutie Ranking ♥

Quality/Pricing - 5 out of 5. The items are on the overall small side, but out of the whole box only one item is one-use, so I appreciate the fact everything else is either reusable, or comes in a large quantity.

Content - 4 out of 5. I loved almost all of the items, and the mask, the only I wasn’t too crazy about I didn’t outright hate, or even dislike.

Theme: 3 out of 5. This box is a half-theme. I like that they decorated the cover of the booklet since they don’t do it very often, but it’s so dark that it was hard to see. I wish they lightened it a little or made it more obvious. Meanwhile, 3 out of the 5 items definitely fit the Halloween vibe of the box.

Total Rank: I’ll give this one a 7 out of 10. It had a theme that it mostly matched up to, and I really, really love the lipstick! I was so surprised by how much I liked it and I'm super-excited to start using it. I really wish they would give us more makeup items like this~

♥ Cutie Scale ♥

1. Lipstick - I wish I lived near Witch’s Pouch because I feel like this brand would be right up my alley as an aspiring gothic-lolita.

2. Pokemon Body Art - The images of Pikachu dressed up for Halloween are so cute! I also love the little zubats and I can’t get over how shiny the gold metallic ones are, and how well the neon ones glow! Don’t be surprised if you see me wearing these in future reviews.

3. Heart Puffs - I already said this but I adore the hearts and their squishiness x3

4. Beauty Essence - The bottle is very pretty, but I wish it didn’t look like my scented oils :P I’m not sure I’ll remember to use it too often... 

5. Facial Mask - I thought it was a little bit cute, but it wasn’t my favorite of the box. 

Well that will be doing it for this review :3 I hope you guys have found it interesting and I appreciate the time you took to reading/viewing it. Next up I’ll be covering the October Kira Kira crate, so until then remember to open one box of cuteness everyday!
