AquaDoll Half Wig Review


Greetings from Cloud27!

I recently ordered a half wig from Aquadoll/Luxystone here.



This was my first time ordering from Rakuten Global, so I'll share with you my experience!

Process of Order:
Rakuten shopping is pretty easy. You pick the options they offer and just add the item to your cart. They take PayPal and a variety of credit cards and bank transfers too (I believe). I chose the credit card option. After placing your order, Rakuten will automatically send an email to you to confirm your purchase. You won't be charged until the shop contacts you will final amount with shipping. 

With AquaDoll, once you place the order, you can't cancel or change anything. They ship using EMS so it would be best if you left them a note if you wanted to use a different shipping method when you are paying since you can't change anything after your order is placed. Shipping for this was about $12 CAD. I'm a patient person, so I would have preferred for it to be shipped using SAL which may take up to 20 days, but for half the price. 

They shipped a day after I placed my order. It came in about 4 days. 

Totally unnecessarily large shipping packaging.

Colour: DBK. True to colour. 
Quality: Not bad. I've bought most of my wigs from Taobao and 2 from eBay. It's comparable to the nicer wigs on Taobao. The top is pretty thick.
True to Picture: Doesn't really look like the picture and not as long as I expected it to be. In the picture, it looks fluffier and more wavy from top to bottom. 



Overall, I am happy with it. Mainly because what I wanted was different from the photo, but they should really change their photo or their product. False advertisement!!

Worn pictures to come!

Toodles,
JAN

P.S. I also ordered a yukata! Please look forward to my next review!

Loli Loli Paradise and Taobao Items Reivew!




This is a post I've posted on my Taobao blog on tumblr but here it is again.
This order took about 2 months from start to finish. Reason being I placed my order around Chinese New Year and the shop took roughly 10 days off. Loli Loli Paradise didn't take time off but it made no difference since the post office was off too.
So let’s talk about LLP first.
I’ve used her as a shopping service once before and it was an overall good experience. But because she is Facebook based, it gets a little messy so I wouldn’t recommend you buy too much with her. A couple of items went out of stock and she did refund me the money...only when I reminded her though. 
Communication: 
She went missing for like a week (not around CNY). I messaged a few times with no reply. But that only happened once. She is polite…but she got annoyed one time. heh.
Packaging: 
As you can see, she left them wrapped individually which is good. It came in a padded envelope so it’s cheaper to mail than with a box. Nothing I bought was fragile so I wouldn’t have needed a box anyways.

Ease of Use: 
Once again, if you’re ordering more than 7 things, it could get messy.
On to the items!
1. Backpack. Awesome. What else can I say? It’s exactly like the photo and is the colour that I had expected. It’s super light by itself.

2. Highlight Extensions. I purchased 4 silver ones and the shop gave me an extra pink and ombre auburn one! It was a nice surprise. They’re a good length and it’s not halloween-wig-shiny.

3. Misc Accessories. I ordered 2 pairs of earrings and a bracelet. They gave me 2 extra necklaces and a (ugly) hair clip. Love them all (except for the hair clip lol). One of the free necklaces was broken but not something a little glue can’t fix! Earrings came with plastic stoppers (is that what they’re called?) which comes off pretty easily :[

4. Karuta Cosplay. Perf. Just the way I envisioned it. The quality is pretty good for what I payed for! The neck ribbon was a little weird…but it also came with the necktie. On the page it said it would include otk socks, which I didn’t get but that’s not a big problem.

5. Pink Tutuanna Socks I didn’t order. I don’t know which shop this one is from. But, thanks man. I like cute socks.

6. Liz Lisa Top Replica. This one was funny. It came with the buttons not sewn on so I had to do it myself. Yeah. But otherwise, I love it! It’s a nice thin cotton material and the lace is so pretty *3*

7. Liz Lisa Skort Replica. Came with the belt! It’s a little wrinkly because of the packaging and just slightly bigger than I would like it.

In conclusion, I felt like I spent more than I should have on these items. Aside from that, this has been a fairly satisfying shopping experience! You can see the links to the items here!

Hopefully I'll keep this blog up and running consistently!
