audiopathstudio review

Audiopathstudio review

hello lovies!~
taking a short break from reviewing fairy kei, pastel, stuff.
but today i will be reviewing the origami paper and straws i got from

Ratings
shipping: 5/5 free shipping
quality 5/5 origami paper is shiny and embosses with wavy and star designs, straws are thin and easy to work with
value 5/5 i ordered about 100 pc of both the paper and straws and it cost under $5


pictures
le package


if i remember correctly, the straws and paper were wrapped carefully with 3 layers of bubble wrap :)


what i wasn't expecting is that they gave me a sample of a straw star! very pretty and nice, too bad they're hell to make! but if yoou go to their ebay page they have posted 2 videos with subtitles showing you how.


several colors

next up 2x2 shiny origami paper!

star embossed

ok, before i go on, here are some cons about this paper....
1. i found that the colors of the paper did not match the listing picture
i don't know if it was the lighting they took it in but it's not like i'm sad or anything. also to actually find this listing on ebay i searched "2x2 purple crane paper" or something like that, but the pack only has white, blue, yellow, green, and pink. while the photos shows something like purple, pink, green ,white, peach, and yellow.
2. the number of colors where uneven, say, blue had 40 pc and white had 25 pc
3. also there are 2 different embossings, stars and wavy lines, so it takes extra effort to make cranes match.

back to photos~

bodyline review #2

Hello all \o/
It may seem strange that this is called bodyline review *2*
It's because I have ordered already from Bodyline and I am going to do a review later on
anyway~

Ratings~
shipping~ 5 of 5~ Relativly fast (for the $10 shipping rather than the $20 one)
Quality~ 4.5 of 5~ Recently the butterfly glasses I ordered broke, they weren't foldable glasses so they were hard to store, however I was able to fix them with glue. Also my mother's mouth glasses came with half of the gems broken off.
Value~5 of 5~ very inexpensive glasses, clothes are fancy, kawaii, and inexpensive!

Pictures~

haul


The 2 on the left were orderd by my mother, since she's a dentist,
while I ordered the butterfly and geek glasses for myself
As you can see some of  the gems on the mouth glasses have broken off;
but they were only $3 each! The butter fly glasses cost a little bit more



Next up are arm covers!
They were about $4 i think?
*Wait....... why did it actually import the right way?! omg it actually imported a vertical image!*

Next up are these $5 lacy socks, I saw a picture of someone on tumblr wearing them with black converse. I thought that I could add that little flair to my shoes too!

Me modeling the socks at the weirdest angle imaginable

*Gah, now it's messing us horizontal photos*


Lastly i got a jumper/romper! it's so pink and lovely.... originally I was planning to get it in yellow but I saw there were several listings, all in different colors, so I changed my mind
(I'll say how much it was at the end)
It fit like a glove, I'm so happy!

Heart shaped pockets

faux heart shaped pearls and lace trimming on the edges~

And how much did this romper cost?
$20 !

YES! SO LITTLE FOR A LOT OF CUTENESS!!!


Unfortuneately, I have no modeling photos of this right now. We checked for mail at 11 PM that night  and that's when we discovered the package had came. I'll edit this when I do get photos of myself in it!

that's all for now!

XO,
       Laura

rakuten chocomint review

Chocomint Review
Hello my friends! A while ago, maybe a week or so ago,  I ordered from Chocomint through the Rakuten Market! Rakuten is basically a global market that can be used to shop from places that don't offer shipping themselves to places beyond their country. The fabulous site is http://global.rakuten.com/en/store/chocomint/

As  I looked at other reviews online, what has been said is true. They do send you an email asking if it is ok to bill you for the items you ordered, the customer support was very sweet! They also said they would mark my package as containing used accessories with a value of 1000 yen (about $10) so no one would be tempted to steal it.

Ratings~
shipping~ 5 of 5~ WOW, I have never received a package from Japan this fast, I had to pay $15 shipping though.
Quality~ 4 of 5~ over all pretty nice
Value~4 of 5~ inexpensive yet big shipping charge which I can understand.

pictures~
The EMS package


"Used Accessories (Second hand for personal use)"

The accessories were packaged in bubble wrap

The items I  ordered

A pink lemonade lollipop two way clip.  It can be worn as either a broach or hair clip.

A blue and pink tulle' bow bracelet


A blue candy two way clip.

2 fuzzy bows, one blue and one purple

Blue

Purple

If you're wondering what the back of all of these items look like (except the bracelet) this is the clip/broach part.
The material the bows are made out of are extremely soft.

I can't wait to wear all of this to AAC (Another Anime  Con) in October, my friend and I said we would wear fairy kei to this convention!

♥,
              Laura
