Cosplay Buys - Diclonius Horns Review

Feral Works Review

~(•̪ . •̪~) Diclonius Horns (~•̪ . •̪)~

 

So for my second cosplay I really wanted to cosplay Nyu (Lucy) from Elfen Lied.
If you have read my Geishawigs review, this is cosplay I bought it for. 
The general cosplay is quite simple, however I didn't have much time to attempt making the horns. 

However I was lucky enough to find some on Etsy~!

The Etsy store is called FeralWorks. They sell a range of stuff like masks and headbands, I really love the look of their deer rose headband. 
Though this is a review on the Diclonius Horns~

There were plenty of reviews that were positive that encouraged me to make the purchase. 

The product's price is £10.86, however when I bought them they were £11.02 and the postage price is £6.03, but mine was £6.12 at the time. 
For such a rare item (I could only find one other place to buy these) I think that is a nice price. 
The order processed almost straight away and it took around a week and a few days to get to me after that, which was very good. 

They came in a decent sized package, and it was so cute that they had put little star stickers around my adress, made me smile. 

Inside was a letter confirming the order and such and of course the product wrapped it bubble wrap. 



It also came with a business card.





Which I thought was a nice, profesional touch.



The horns are attached to an elastic head band, so it should fit most people.
However, for a perfectionist like me it can get annoying, as this means the horns will be placed differently depending on your head size, I have a small head so they apear nearer the top and look like cat ears form afar. Though this isn't a massive issue, I'm still trying to perfect it but it can be adjusted with clipping them in place.

Also the band can be a bit 'fiddly' to hide but it's easily possible.

Here are a range of pictures of the worn product.

ʚ♡ɞ Snowdrop Jewellery - New adorable internet shop

ʚ♡ɞ Snowdrop Jewellery ʚ♡ɞ
 ~(•̪ . •̪~) My Alpaca and Totoro Necklace (~•̪ . •̪)~


So there is a fairly new webstore on Etsy called Snowdrop Jewellery, that sells handmade, adorable, clay necklaces.
The necklaces I have are not on sale, as the alpaca was won in a competition, and the totoro was a one of its kind. 




They sell quite a range of hand made clay necklaces.

Price

As you can see all the necklaces are £7, my totoro necklace was the same (but the alpaca was free - competition).

If I remember correctly, postage and packaging cost £3.

So overall £10, which I think is nice price for such pretty, handmade cuties.

Postage and Packaging

This was super quick! The order processed straight away and I got my necklaces in about a week, might have been even less. (I need to make notes in future...)

Both my necklaces came in a decent sized 'envoloped package', and Christina (the owner and creator) kindly wrote 'Fragile' on the package.



Also in the package there was loads of bubble wrap, which the necklaces where delicately wrapped in.




My cat really appreciated the bubble warp too, but for a different reason...








And as you can see the neclaces came in really pretty bags, I still keep them in these, to keep them safe.







Gilbert (the dinosaur )looks fabulous with them, don't you think?

Jinxx tried to take them...


The Necklaces

I can not express how adorable these are~.

As I kind of mentioned the alpaca necklace is my own design, Christina held a competition for people to design their own alpacas, there was three winners and I was lucky enough to be one. :3




Look how well it's made, it's exactly as I designed!
 I love art and designing, so to have designed something that has actually been made is amazing. 
I'm so so happy with it. ♡

More angles of the necklace-








She even added glitter on it which was a lovely suprise~.

Christina has mentioned other competition opportunities, so look forward to that. :3


Here is the necklace I bought, my adorable Totoro necklace. 


Like my alpaca necklace the detail on my totoro necklace is so good, I like how Totoro's fur looks, the continues detail. 

This necklace also makes me very happy to own, I love Studio Ghibli films, and already have a 'No Face' necklace from somewhere else, so I might start a little Ghibli jewellery collection. ♡







Another cute touch like the bags are these little 'pendants' on the chain where you fasten the necklace, it says 'made with love' and it's so adorable, and I believe they are. 



Overall

These necklaces are super duper cute, the pricing is really good and the postage and packaging and postage was brilliant. 





Sorry these aren't the best 'worn pictures' but I've been busy with college work.
