Nerdy Little Secrets Goodies Review

So I recently received my items from this cute Etsy shop! They specialize in pastel accessories like hair clips, jewelery, etc. The perfect collection for pastel goth, fairy kei, lolita, or other cute styles! I chose to review a choker and "gmr grl ;)" necklace! Here's the package:

I absolutely loved the handwritten note and business card included! It was a very nice, personal touch which I always enjoy. And even the bag that contained the items was cute! I'm really loving the sugar skulls and Day of the Dead theme going on right now so I'll be reusing this bag for sure haha.

Here's all the goodies! There's the Pastel Goth Moon Velvet Choker and Pastel Mini PlayStation Controller Necklace that I picked, as well as some extra gifts, two Small Pastel Goth Bone Hair Clips and this Lacey Pastel Brooch!

So first I want to talk about the Velvet Choker! I actually chose this one because I cosplay Rose Lalonde and I thought it would be really appropriate to wear as her!

 Here's a close look. I love the pink chain at the back of the choker. It gives the piece more character. The little yellow charm is a very nice little addition too!

It looks so elegant and dainty on. It's a very minimal design which I really liked because when I'm wearing this, it's not meant to be the main focus. It draws attention to the neck without distracting too much from the face.

It's slimming and delicate and I'm absolutely taken with it. The velvet is so soft and the whole item is well crafted and light, you hardly notice you're wearing it at all! It even comes in a spider charm as well, in case you weren't a fan of the moon design.

The other main piece I got was the PlayStation necklace. I chose this one not only because of how cute it would look to wear as Nanami or Roxy, but also because I really am a playstation gamer at heart. It was probably my favourite console as a kid and I spent so many hours playing Bomberman and Crash Bandicoot... So it really is a throwback for me!

This pendant is honestly so cute and I really adore it! All the buttons are individually painted and base is solid but light.

I just ditched Nanami's pink ribbon and used the necklace instead. In fact, I firmly believe this is what she should have been wearing in the game. It's the perfect addition to this outfit. 

This one is probably my favourite item of the bunch. I know I'm gonna get a ton of use from it, and it'll last too!

Finally we've got the bonus goodies!!! I was very happy to find these surprises and I'm already planning a full fairy kei outfit with them! They're the perfect accessories for the style and I'm glad I can add them to my collection! I especially love the bone clips but it's tough to see the pretty glitter in them from the pictures. They look much better in person, trust me!

So as my first experience with Nerdy Little Secrets, I can 100% say I recommend the shop and that the items are not only cute but quality too.

Sweetbox Store Leisure Wear T-shirt and Shorts Review

This is my first review with Sweetbox Store! It's a very cute shop and I've been watching it for a while now, so I'm very happy to be able to try out a product myself.

I chose to review this Fluorescent Batwing T-shirt and Shorts combo. It comes in 4 colours, as shown below.

It's one size fits all. Here's the info displayed.

I chose the blue, although honestly, I would have loved any of the pretty, pastel colours!

I was very excited when the package arrived! It was neatly folded and cleanly packaged, tags and text on display. They even included a little thank you note and business card which I thought was a nice touch.

So I took it out of the packaging and tried it on. Here's what it looks like!

It's so comfortable and it fits great! It's got enough stretch and elasticity that it would definitely fit smaller and larger sizes easily. The material is a really nice knit fabric. I like that it's not solid blue as well, it's got some white mixed which makes it more visually appealing!

Here's some close up shots of the outfit.

It's a very simple outfit but it's well made and very soft. Also, you may have noticed the spelling mistake on the top, where there's an o instead of another d. I saw it before selecting this one to review. It would be pretty easy to fix with fabric paint if it really bothered you, but it looks enough like a d that I don't mind at all. That's really the only critique that I have for this item though! Everything else about it is great, it's a very high quality set and I'd definitely recommend it!

MoeMall Chihiro Fujisaki Wig Review!!

This is my first wig review and I'm very excited about it! Styling wigs is one of my best skills when it comes to cosplay. I've styled more wigs than I can count and even cut real hair as well. I've gained a lot of experience over the past year and I have a much better idea on how to tell if a wig is good quality. So let's get started!

So this wig is from MoeMall on ebay. You can find it here. This is the advertised picture.

This is the wig right out of the bag.

The first thing I noticed was the colour. It's a bit more orange than I expected (although the blue background does make it seem more orange than it is), but I really like the sort of apricot blonde colour. Since it is a character wig I do have something to compare it to.

These are a few official pictures of Chihiro Fujisaki from Dangan Ronpa (from the anime, official art, and a sprite)

As you can see, his hair is a bit more neutral, but personally, i think the brighter colour of the wig looks really nice!

So I put the wig on and here it is with no styling.

The shape is quite nice and it's got good volume which makes it easier to work with. The wig is made by Lucaille and I have other wigs from the same brand and they're actually so great! I know my Rose Lalonde wig is from there and I believe my Rei Ayanami is as well. I've had great experiences with this brand and I always get tons of compliments on those wigs.

I chopped off a bit to shorten the top layers. I really didn't need much cutting which was really nice! I probably cut off about a handful at the most.

Then just a bit of styling and the finished result!

It turned out really well and it was very easy to work with! The thickness really helped make the spiky sides and it stays in place with just a little bit of hairspray!

Since I haven't made my Chihiro cosplay yet I threw on my kimono to take some pics.

I really love this wig. It's great quality and easy to style, it's comfortable and looks great on... It's pretty much everything I can ask for in a wig. I guess the only critique I could give it is that the colour isn't 100% canon, but even then it's not far off and it still works for the character. This is one of my favourite wigs and I'd definitely recommend it. I know I'm going to get a lot of use out of it, especially because it's great to use casually as well!
