Limited Edition CD+DVD J-Pop Haul!

Okay, so I kinda splurged a bit. I've been on this kick where I'm buying physical copies of the music I love. (which hey, is actually a great idea). I get the special things that the artists put together for the fans and actually OWN the music legally (albeit second hand for me). Like, I feel like the music more a part of me if it's physical

Anyways, onto what I got!

I got all of these items off of Yahoo! Auctions Japan. Though, the auction site does not ship outside of Japan. How did I get them shipped to the USA then? By a shopping/auction service called Noppin! I won't go into the details of using Noppin, but I found a tutorial on how to use it here if you're interested~

I got the Limited Edition CD+DVD version of Perfume's album, ⊿ (Triangle). On ebay, the cheapest is listed for around $55, but I got this for 1300yen!! ($13ish). This is why I love Yahoo! Auctions Japan and why I used it for getting Limited Edition goods for a decent price. Sadly the one I got didn't come with the obi, but it's still in lovely condition.

I showed the cover in the first photo already, same goes for all the CDs. Here's what the DVD looks like~ Sadly it is region 2 and I don't have a region-free DVD player yet so I haven't watched it. I'll be buying one soon though with all the DVDs I got haha!

Next up is the Limited Edition CD+DVD version of Perfume's album, JPN! On ebay I see this cheapest for $30, got it for 1500yen! ($15ish). The cover is this neat sleeve with the actual jewel case inside. This product was actually brand new, with the stickers on the outside packaging and obi! (as seen in the first photo)

Here's the back of the actual jewel case. The back of the pink covering is just a plain color.

The CD on the inside! Forgot to get a picture of the DVD on the other side. Again, this DVD is region 2 so I have yet to watch it.

Next is the Limited Edition digipak CD+DVD of More!More!More! by capsule. My absolute favorite group ever, more like. Again I've seen this on ebay for $23 for the cheapest, this was only 600yen! ($6) This was brand new too, with the obi and everything.

Wahhh the colors of the CD and DVD are so cool. ;u; Another region 2 DVD I can't watch yet, sigh...

This tracklisting sheet was on the inside that I didn't realize. It's holographic shiny so wahhh cool! :O

Ok now onto the coolest item. Meg's Best Flight>Terminal A. This was brand new packaged with a T-shirt! Terminal A comes with a DVD, while Terminal B comes with a bonus remix CD. This is a Limited Edition too so I'm so lucky to get this brand new with all the stuff that comes with it! Got it for 1500yen. ($15)

Here's all the stuff that came inside the box. There's a photo booklet, a poster-like lyrics sheet, a photo snap, and a round photograph(maybe it's a sticker? I'm afraid to try to take it apart) along with the actual CD+DVD jewel case. What's awesome is the DVD is region ALL, which means I could watch it!! It's absolutely lovely, just like all of Meg's videos.

The back of the main packaging. (Front shown in first photo)

The back of the jewel case.

Here's the T-shirt laid flat. I'm assuming it's a unisex size M based on how it looks/fits.

Me wearing the T-shirt! I flipped the image so it's the right way since it's a mirror pic. I love this so much it's so chic and me. ;u;

Anyways, that's my first haul post! Here's the backs of all the items to compliment the first photo. I'm turning into a music collector...

SpreePicky Review~!

Hello everyone! Thought I’d do another review of the clothes I bought from spreepicky! Pretty much every popular fashion blogger gets clothes from there and has coupon codes so I thought I would buy from there too~ You should check them out!

Now onto the review~ Please note that I am NOT sponsored or required to make this review. I paid for these items with my own money.

I got my package about 3 weeks after I had placed the order on Storenvy, not bad! Figured it’s cause they needed to get the jumper I ordered in stock. It came in soft packaging with no damage. On the inside there was this!

I got 2 shirts~ What I wasn’t expecting were these free little gifts inside! Awww thankyou <33 One’s a hair-tie and the white moustache is a necklace. I love when I get little extras~

Then onto what I ordered! 

First up is the Kawaii Donut Bear Ice Cream shirt~ (long name!!) There used to be a version of this shirt that had this design on only the front side, but right now all that’s available is the 2-sided printing one, and that’s what I got! The design looks like it’s printed on from a printer onto a plain shirt, seeing as the front design leaks onto the inside of the shirt a bit (you can see how it looks around the neckline).

This is a photo of the back side of the shirt. The printing isn’t as crisp and looks doubled, but I’m not too bothered by it. The front’s the important part anyways~

AAAAAND here’s me wearing the shirt! It’s nice and thin for summer and SUPER stretchy! I love the pattern too, I need more kawaii clothing. ;u;

Next item I ordered was the Milklim Sweater! Ever since discovering Milklim I just wanna own everything they ever made omg these clothes are for me. SpreePicky’s version is a REPLICA and not the real thing though, since the tags don’t say Milklim and are in korean. I’m not too disappointed cause it looks exactly how I wanted it to look~ What’s above is the stock photo they use on the website!

There are different sizing and color options you can choose on SpreePicky’s website for this item. I picked the Pink Medium one since I love these colors the most! 

Before they sent it out to me though, the owner sent me a message saying that mine will look a little different. Here’s the picture she sent!

The colors are a bit brighter and darker than the original, but I e-mailed her back saying it was fine~ I kinda prefer it this way!

Here’s my photo of the jumper layed out. As you can see the colors are a bit darker than in the original stock photo. I still love it though <33 

Ahhh yes it fits perfectly. <3 It’s really a bit more pink and green(not blueish) than my photos show, my phone camera messes it up a bit. ;~; Refer to the photo they sent me of it and that’s more the actual colors!!

Customer Service: 5/5

Shipping: 4/5

Quality: 4/5

Customer Satisfaction: 5/5

Overall: 5/5 would recommend! I picked to buy from SpreePicky because I really wanted these items and the first T-shirt I couldn’t find to buy anywhere else, and the Milklim sweater I found on there for the cheapest price than any other Storenvy. <3 Also nearly everyone who DOES get sponsored has 10% off coupon codes to use for shopping here! (I used one~) Hopefully one day I’ll have one to distribute too for those who read this!

Uniqso Barbie Puffy 3 Tones Blue Lenses! (・∀・ )

So I have been looking for a good pair of blue lenses to buy recently for my Sailor Moon cosplay. I had bought my previous pair of circle lenses on Pinky Paradise, but I thought I'd try another site! Plenty of bloggers get sponsored from Uniqso so I thought I'd try them out~

The pair of lenses I bought are called Barbie Puffy 3 Tones Blue. Here's the stock photo!

Since it was my first time ordering, I got 15% off! If you've never ordered before, you can get that too off ONLY your first order, the coupon code is right on the website! :D (but it can only be used once) Again I am NOT sponsored, and I paid for these!

I had some problems with shipping since I originally wrote the wrong address, and it had to get forwarded to my current address. =__=;; It would've been here in 3 weeks, instead I had to wait an extra week. But it still got to me!! ;A:

Inside the packaging was this cute little box that had the lenses in them, along with a free lens case~ Remember lenses expire after 1 year usually, so I wrote the day I got them +1 year so I know when to throw them out!

Here's the lenses themselves! I made sure to check if there were any tears in the lenses before opening since I don't want to receive defective ones. They ended up being perfectly fine~ I was also really happy that the packaging was really easy to open this time, my previous pair of lenses I had to use scissors!!

The lenses in the case. I just use Wal-Mart multi-purpose contact solution to put them in~

Oh! And here's the specifications:

Base Curve: 8.6mm

Color Tones: 3 Tones

Diameter: 16.2mm (I believe this is wrong information... the lenses they are similar to are 14.5mm and these don't seem much bigger than my other lenses that are 14.2mm)

Water Content: 38%

Here's what the lenses look like in! With natural light shining on. They make my eyes SO much bigger! Though I was a little disappointed the color wasn't brighter. Even so, you can still tell they're blue, and I really was going for BIG eyes since I'm cosplaying Sailor Moon! (Sorry if my make-up is a big smudgy >w>;; )

I specifically picked the 3-Tones Blue instead of a plain blue lens because I have naturally hazel eyes, and the inside of these lenses is about the same as my natural eye color. It makes them blend really well in my opinion!

Yeah I'm in the car, haha. Here's what they look like further away from the camera~

Inside with dim, artificial light.

And a close-up with artificial light!

Overall:

Color: 4/5 (I wish they were a bit brighter!)

Comfort: 5/5

Enlargement: 5/5

Customer Service: 5/5

Shipping: 4/5 (mainly due to USPS being stupid >///< )

I am satisfied with my Barbie Puffy 3 Tones Blue overall! They make me look like an anime character~

Brave Store Review! (◕‿◕✿)

Get ready for another review~! This time I bought some items from Brave Store. They have tons of absolutely adorable harajuku & korean fashion items!

I bought 3 items: the Pastel Suspender Skirt in green, Skeleton Hand Clips in white, and the Cat Sweater Dress. Here we go! I will let you know I am not sponsored by any stores or required to make these reviews, I buy all my items with my own money and just want to show what I think of them! <3

 

Each of the items were shipped separately from each other, which means I got them at different times. The first item I got about 2 weeks after I ordered, and that was the Cat Sweater Dress! Here’s the stock photo:

Judging from the photos I hoped it would be a bit longer like an actual dress, and my measurements met the ones on the site. The dress only comes in one size, so I made sure before I ordered! It’s more like a long-ish T-shirt though than a dress, which is still fine with me! I’d wear it with black leggings/pants under it anyways.

 

Here’s me with the dress/shirt on! It’s still very nice quality and pretty warm, considering it’s made of a little thinner material~ （　´∀｀）

 About 2 more weeks(a total of 4 since I placed the order) pass and I start wondering where my other items are. I e-mailed the owner of Brave Store and she was very helpful with making sure I was satisfied, letting me know that my other items were still on their way. I was really hoping they didn’t get lost in the mail!! ((゜д゜;))

 

About a week after I sent the e-mail, I got the Skeleton Clips in the mail! They’re on alligator clips and were the cheapest I seen on any other site, which is why I got them from Brave. I love them! <3

 

The next day after I receive my Skeleton clips, I FINALLY receive my Pastel Suspender Skirt!!  ಥ‿ಥ This is the packaging it came in after I opened it from the bubble-wrap mail. 

 

I love the color so much, I didn’t actually own anything that was mint-green really before I got this. (´ω｀) My first photo shows the color a lot better, since it looks a bit blue in this picture.

 

Not quite sure what the brand of this skirt is, but it came with tags! The size on the skirt says size “M,” although on Brave Store there isn’t a sizing option and says it just comes in one size.  

 

On the size there’s a small zipper to put it on, and the waist isn’t made out of elastic. So if your waist is any bigger than mine, you probably won’t fit! The site says 66cm waist for the skirt and I was taking a chance with my waist being 68-69cm, haha. It still fits though! (⊙ヮ⊙)

 

 The straps are detachable which I like like a lot about it. They’re fastened on by buttons!

 

Here’s me with the skirt on. It fits me, but the straps are kinda short and makes the skirt really short on me! Won’t be wearing this unless I have leggings or safety shorts underneath. It fits a lot better with the straps off, since I can adjust the skirt to be at a better length at my waist. Here’s a side view too:

 

Overall: 7/10, would recommend to someone who’s my size or even thinner than me and doesn’t mind waiting a month for items! The quality of the items is really nice, but these items are definitely more for tiny-asian-girl sizing (and my bust and hips are pretty wide). Brave has other stuff too other than clothes like phone cases, bags, and tights! Their prices are really good though compared to other Storenvy stores which is why I originally chose to buy from there.

I hope this review helped somebody~ Have fun shopping! (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧
