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.

♡ Uniqso Barbie Angel Blue Review ♡

ʚ♡ɞ Uniqso Review 1 ʚ♡ɞ
~(•̪ . •̪~) Barbie Angel Blue (~•̪ . •̪)~  


Hello reader and welcome to my first contacts and first uniqso review. I've admired circle lenses for awhile now but never got around to purchasing any until I started cosplaying and I felt like it was a must. I have read and watched quite a few reviews of contacts from uniqso and all are generally posistive, so I looked at their site for my first pair. 

It was really hard choosing a pair as I really liked many designs, but finally came across the 'Barbie Angle Blue' lenses. I liked how they looked on the website's pictures.

I liked how they included a picture of the contacts on people with different eye colours, I have light blue/grey eyes so the first modeled picture was really helpful and was the final thing that helped me decide to get these. 

So the website is super duper helpful, especially when there is a drop down box for currency so you don't need to bother converting. :D

Cost

These contacts are £10.53 ($16.90) which, looking around on a few sites, is a good price I think. :3
I can't remember how much the postage and packaging was but I don't think it was more than a few pounds.

Postage and Packaging

I think there is options for postage and packaging, and if there is I probably got the cheapest, just so you know. The processing time for my order took around two week, and then it took just over a week (week and few days) to ship to me. I live in Yorkshire, in England so if you live near there, that's an idea of the time it takes. So if you need these for a specific date, order your contacts at least a month in advance.

The packaging was really good, it all came in a envoloped styled packaging with bubble wrap attached. In this initial package was a cute box. 



It's super cute and says thank you in four different languages around it. 







And on the bottom. 



And in this box were the contacts themselves in their tubes, these were both individually wrapped in bubble wrap. 



So the contacts are kept really safe so you don't have to worry. :3 

The case for the contacts was also in this initial packaging. 



I love the design of this case because even though my contacts are quite big, the case reflects in a way that makes them appear smaller and easier to see. 
It was so difficult to focus on the lenses >~<. 

Circle Lenses

These lenses are 16mm in diameter, so they are on the larger scale of circle lenses. Though many would advise not to get 16mm lenses for your first pair, personally these were fine for me. Of course I was nervous when first putting them in (which resulted in me only able to get one in) after a few times of wearing them I got the hang of it. So I don't completely object to 16mm for your first pair but obviously smaller lenses would be easier. 
 I really like the enlargement of these, I think I have quite small eyes because these do look really big when on, in my opinion. 
 Comparison - 




I also really like the colour~. I like the dark outline, the only bad thing about it is in bad lighting some people can confuse the contacts for being black themselves (talking from experiance). But the blue is a lovely shade and even though it doesn't 'blend in' with my eye, I don't think it looks bad when my pupils are small, the curvature of the lense flows. 





I'm clearly no expert, however as a first time wearing I can tell you these are very comfortable. When you first put them on you can feel them, and it does feel quite weird, but not uncomfortable, and then after awhile you can't feel them at all, unless you get something else in your eye then, it's going to hurt, so be extra careful with them, a few times I have got hair strands from my wigs wondering close to my eye so, yeah, that hurts. 
 
Unfortuantely I could not get these in perscription, I was hoping I could but luckily for me I don't have to wear my glasses 24/7 so I can wear 'blank' contacts. 




This is the only proper 'downside' I have to these.


Thank you for reading my blog~

Geisha Wigs Review 1 ♡

ʚ♡ɞ Geisha Wigs Review ʚ♡ɞ
~(•̪ . •̪~)Sweet, Magenta Pink Curled Wavy Wig(~•̪ . •̪)~

Price
The cost of the wig is £22 which I think is a good price for a wig, especially one this long (I'll talk about that a bit later). I can't remember that well but the postage was around £4 which again, it's a big wig so I think that's fine. Fortunately I used a 10% off discount code so I got it even cheaper, that code is no longer available to use but Geisha wigs seem to have loads of codes and competitions which I think is great. I will win one one day. ^-^" ahaa

Postage and Packaging
Like I said before, I live in England and it took around 2 weeks for the order to get to me, the company is based in Wales (I believe) and is mostly one women doing it all is really impressive. Two people now but it was one when I ordered mine.

The outer packaging was a cute pink plastic wallet like packet? Which was so cute as it went with my wig, I dunno if they are all pink because this is my first purchase from them.
It was secure and was not damaged when I received it. :3

Then inside the wig was neatly placed in a wig net, in a clear plastic wallet. 
Here are pictures because I'm not so good at describing the packaging.




As you can see it came with a cute 'business card'(?) which had a little thank you note on which I really liked. :3




The Product
As I mentioned this wig is very long, it's my longest wig. With it curly it finishes about my waist, so when I straighten it it will be even longer.
Because it's so long and curly I haven't worn it that much because it does get tangled quite easily so if you are still quite new with wigs be cautious with this, I'm hoping I can cope with it better when it's straightened. And so far when I have worn or tried to style it a few hairs have come out, but that happens with most wigs and it still looks as cute, so if that happens to your wig just remain careful with it, it'll be fine. ^-^

It originally comes with a side fringe, but for my cosplay I cut the fringe, and I didn't think the side fringe suited me any way. The original fringe when straight down came down to my top lip so it's very long, so could be styled quite easily.

This wig is so soft! It's smooth but soft too, it feels so nice against my cheeks (*ˊᗜˋ) tehee.
So yeah, the quality is really nice and I don't think it's that shiny so looks quite 'natural'.

The netting is a pale skin colour, which personally I prefer and it's very secure. n.n

Wig with original side fringe




Wig with full fringe I cut in (still needs trimming a bit)







Other pics so you can see how long it is.






I adore this wig, I hope it looks nice when I straighten it (つд⊂) because I wanna wear it more.


But with it curly I think it would be perfect for a pinkie pie cosplay, I may try to re-curl it after for other cosplays (。•ㅅ•。)♡

This would be great for Pinky Pie

First Petticoat Review

❀First petticoat review❀
Flora Girl's 1-Hoop 1-Net Petticoat

As it says this is my first petticoat review, and first actual petticoat, so I don't know much about petticoats but I am here to publish my opinion on it - which is good :3
Cost
I admit I mostly bought this because I thought it looked good but at a quite "cheap" cost, I didn't want to pay much for my first one. ^-^" The cost of this is £10.99, and £2.99 postage and packaging, which I think is really good as most of the other ones I saw were at least £16 for just the petticoat. 

Postage and Packaging
Like my other recent things I have bought from amazon, this arrived earlier than expected which is always great. The packaging was secure and inside the postage packaging was the petticoat in a clear plastic "wallet" or bag, not sure what to call it.
Here's a picture, as you can see it is neatly packaged. 



The petticoat itself
The fabric attached to the hoop is silky? Very smooth, I'm afraid I'm no good at naming fabrics though. And then it has a laced layer over the top.
When I opened the package it did kind of 'jump out' because of the hop, so be aware.
Here is images of it straight out of the package :P 




As you can see the laced layer is a bit 'crinkled'? Is that the right word? xD But Once worn it is barely noticeable, depending slightly on how heavy the fabric of your skirt/dress is. Also, I plan to let it just hang somewhere in my room as I was suggested to do so to help with the 'crinkle' in it. If you would like to know how that is turning out please comment, I've only just started. 

I don't know if you would, but I wouldn't recommend wearing it on its own as it is slightly transparent.
I did have photos of them worn bu themselves but looking back at them they're badly out of focus, sorry.


But any way, I bought this because I have two lolita dresses already and would like to have more, but I don't wear my lolita dresses because I felt like they needed a petticoat, so now I can be more lolita, yay. :D

So far I have only tried it with one of my lolita dresses, here are the pics (only skirt because I took these in the morning before I got ready for the day ahaa, and yes they are my pajama bottoms) :

front




Side



Back



My apologies for my messy room but I just had to try it on and take pics Cx

For comparison here is a pic of the dress without the petticoat (this is form Prom so I was bit bigger... please excuse my body and look at the skirt of the dress ^^")



But as you can see it makes the skirt look a lot lot lot better, I plan on wearing this dress a lot more now. So even if it 'crinkled' it still looks really pretty under a dress/skirt.

Here is another outfit I wore in with my petticoat, it's just an old school skirt. So the petticoat is quite versatile.




So to conclude -
I had no problem with the service of this product, the product is very good and works well for what I wanted it for.
For anyone who wants to make there dresses look a bit cuter I do recommend this. :3

Middi Clothing Review - Alice Bored Tee :3

.:*・°☆ Middi Clothing Review.:*・°☆

Alice Bored Tee 
So on my birthday (January) my sister got me the Alice Bored Tee from Middi Clothing. 
I have been quite late with a review on this but late's better than never. ^-^"

Unfortunately I can't comment on the postage and packaging because it was a present but my top arrived a few days before my birthday, which would of probably been when my sister hoped it would. It comes in a plain black, plastic, wallet like packaging which is very secure. It was quit annoying when it arrived a few days before my birthday because my sister told me it was one of my presents but I had no idea what it was. xD 

The price of the top is £14.99 which I think is a good price for this original, comfy tee~ Cx (And with my code it won't cost any more, unless you buy more than one item obviously xD) 

Now to talk about the actual top. :P
It is very comfy, and the top is a nice (cotton I think?~) material. 
So far I believe you can only get it in white (or black?) at the moment, but the company have been thinking of investing in more colours (nothing to do with me....). ^-^"

The design is really cool, for example Alice has ear plugs with a white rabbit one, and she has Wonderland inspired tattoos. Also she wears a Jack Daniels top which I think fits in well with the whole 'Drink me' stuff in Alice in Wonderland. :3 

Unfortunately on my top there was a bit of a design fault? The blonde in her hair didn't reach the dark outline, it faded to white first. However, I have been told that due to me commenting on it in my video blog it has been addressed, so should not be on future tops. 
But over all the transfer is really good, and doesn't seem to fade when washed. I've washed mine a few times since I got it and the design seems the same. 

Now photos of the product worn:










I think my top is a large because I really like baggy tops. :3
