Gave Jeremy a new faceup. I usually aim for more natural colors so this time I wanted to try darker colors especially for the eyebrows and eye shadows. Here's the results:
I love how the lips turned out but meh, not that hot about the eyes. I guess really not very used to using dark colors LOL. I think I'll have to redo it some time. I like his current look better than his first one though, I think his wig really suits him. Maybe if he has a better faceup..... (¯⌓¯)
I also tried some body blushing on his body! I messed up his back and legs a little so there are still some signs of smudges here and there but I guess now I know better. It's also the first time I tried giving "manicures" to my doll although I skipped the gloss. Maybe I should have added it??

Seriously though, body blushing really makes such a difference! I wonder what I've been doing all this while without body blushing LOL. I'll try to do blushing on the rest of my smaller since I'm not too confident with the bigger boys yet. (>.<)
Feedback and suggestions to improve are always welcome! o(>w<)o

※※※ Continued from the Box Opening! ※※※
FIRST FACEUP + BODY BLUSHING : APRIL 9
Gave the guy his first faceup. And it's also my second attempt at body blushing! Actually I did the body blushing on the same day I did Xue. I don't really know where to blush so I just blushed wherever I like lmao, particularly the collarbones and torso. I really like the additional realism it gives to the doll! I think I will try to give the rest of my boys body blushing when I can! (≧▽≦) I'm a little concerned if the blushing will come off easily though; I'm not very keen to un-string him to wash him and then restring him again. (๑•́ ₃ •̀๑)
I really adore the MK one-piece torso body! He poses well right out of the box too (no restringing needed) and stands like a rock. Although I think he could probably do more poses with the two-piece or three-piece torso body, I absolutely have no regrets choosing this body!
Finished look! I ended up loving the little guy so much that I'm happy to have him home even if Mu Myeong is still bodiless LOL!
Sorry for the low quality and dark images, I have taken some photos of him but I haven't got around to edit them yet so I'll post them up in a couple days... (maybe). I also modified his wig to add the little pigtails like An Bi Cheng in Chang An Fantastic Nights! And yes, little guy is also called Bi Cheng LOL (LMAO at myself (◐ω◐))

Okaaay, my Loongsoul boy actually arrived first but there are more photos to edit + a box opening photostory for him so it will get some time for me to get off my lazy butt to finish his box opening post. So in the meantime, here's the box opening for my Cherry Castle Strawberry and Doll Family H Xiao Xing Practice Head.
I've been thinking about getting Strawberry but didn't know where to order Cherry Castle dolls from so I did some research before I ordered Strawberry via CC Dollhouse, an official dealer, on Taobao since they were the closest to my China shipping agent's warehouse and the local shipping was both fast and free. I requested to change to a boy body as well because as everyone knows, I'm biased towards boys LOL. I also came across some additional hands Cherry Castle had but I didn't see them in the agent's store so I contacted Cherry Castle's official store a couple days later and asked them if I could buy the hands from them and have it shipped together with my order via CC Dollhouse, which they said wasn't a problem, to my great relief.
Anyhow, CC Dollhouse is also an official dealer for many other Chinese dollmakers so I also threw in a practice head from DF-H to boot and ordered them both on Feb 8. The extra hands were ordered from Cherry Castle on Feb 10. They arrived on Mar 21, which is a special day because it's Sato Takeru's birthday! ♥
Two cuties helping with the box opening~
Two boxes! One from Cherry Castle containing Strawberry and,
the other from the agent containing Xiao Xing and stuff I bought.
