Bandai Celebrates ‘Sailor Moon’ 20th Anniversary With Henshin-Inspired Cosmetics
By Bethany Fong
In honor of the 20th anniversary of Sailor Moon, Bandai’s cosmetics line Creer Beaute announced the release of cosmetics inspired by Usagi Tsukino (aka Serena, if you grew up with the dubbed series). Creer Beaute’s Miracle Romance Shining Moon Powder appears to be both a blush and an illuminating powder, and is encased in a compact that closely resembles Sailor Moon’s Crystal Star Transformation Brooch. The compact also doubles as a necklace for those of you who want to channel your inner magical girl without having to sacrifice $100+ on vintage Sailor Moon toys on eBay. The compact is currently available for pre-order for¥3980 (approximately $41) on Bandai, and will ship in Fall 2013.Creer Beaute has released previous cosmetics collaborations with various anime series, including Urusei Yatsura, Creamy Mami, and The Rose of Versailles.READ MORE

In case any of you were wondering what to get me for my birthday~

Throwback Thursday (kind of): some photos from Anime Boston 2012 that I never got around to posting because I still have convention photos from, like, 2011 that I still haven’t edited~

San: AK
Nausicaä: Betty Felon

These were some impromptu shots that we took at the end of the day so the lighting wasn’t the greatest, plus my camera was being a butt. We’ll fix up our costumes and do an actual San x Nausicaä photoshoot with Robbins Studios at some point in the near future eventually one day probably maybe.

Since we didn’t cosplay at Anime Boston this year, here are some photos of our cosplay from Anime Boston 2012 ◐◡◐

Spotted at Forever 21: a Speed Racer dress?

Coordinate with a pair of lucky red socks (or tights, if you prefer) and a Mach 5.
