❤ Harajuku Mori Girl Wig Review ❤

    Hello everyone!~
So as I've probably said/posted like a 100 times now..My USB ports still haven't been fixed. I took it to Best Buy and sadly not much was done ; A ;. So reviews are a little tight and at one point may be delayed sometimes. > n < I really hate being inactive with reviews on my blog because I make quite a few followers wait WAY too long when I shouldn't ; o ;. Hopefully something shall be done and these ports shall be fixed!~~ I also have been working a lot more hours at work so I end up being super tired when it comes to typing up the reviews as well. I plan to update my blog 1-2 days out of the week. ; ^ ; But I will work super hard at updating! o u o.

But anyways, lets begin with the wig review shall we?❤ 
So I tend to have a huge online shopping addiction especially when it comes to wigs! = w = I normally buy my wigs from Taobao or eBay ( which is where I got this lovely wig from * u *), lately I've been wanting Harajuku wigs as well as Mori styled wigs because they're just so cute!~ Since I wanted to give Taobao shopping a break for a bit I decided to shop eBay! I really wanted a cute colorful Mori girl-ish wig because I really wanted to try something new and different instaed of purchasing the same old straight/curly Harajuku styled wigs and that's when I came across this beauty!

After seeing the lovely colors of this wig I knew it was going to eat away at me if I didn't purchase it.I purchased this wig from "how_watches_shop2011"  and I paid a great price for it as well~❤ 
The shipping process felt a tad long, but a day or two before my estimated delivery date the seller contacted me to inform me that my wig had gotten lost in the mail and that they were re-sending me my item which made me happier to know it was being resent than not being resent at all. ^ u ^ The new reshipped wig arrived very fast( A couple days after being contacted about my lost wig) and was packaged very nicely without any damage at all ^ u ^!~

The wig looked exactly as pictured! * u * The colors were very accurate and the wig fit well.~ The only problem I had though with the wig was that the bangs were uneven to a small yet semi noticeable degree. ; A ; I had to slant/tilt the wig a tad when worn to hide it. ; m ;
(Please excuse the terrible phone photos as I didn't have my camera when taking review photos ; o ;)

I really love this wig because it's not super fluffy, it's nicely styled ( I don't really enjoy super fluffy wigs on me) and the wonderful colors go with a lot of my clothes which also make me happy! 。◕ ‿ ◕。 But I really can't get over how soft the wig is as well. (◡‿◡✿) But now we must move on to the pros and cons or you may just be here forever hearing about my love for this wig. ^ ^;

Pros:
Great Seller
 Was informed about my lost package and was sent a new one super fast!~
❤ Package was in perfect condition
❤ The wig wasn't cheap or overly poofy
❤ Soft fibers (◡‿◡✿)
❤ Matches well with most of my clothes
❤Comfy when worn
❤ Worth the money I paid for

Cons:
 Uneven bangs ; m ;

All in all I give how_watches_shop2011's Harajuku Mori Girl Wig 4/5 stars

★★★★

❤ Holika Holika Heartful Moisture Lipstick Review ❤

      Hello everyone!~
Today I'm writing another review about Holika Holika 。◕ ‿ ◕。 . I apologize for oh so many Holika Holika reviews but I just love this brand sooooo very much. ∩(︶▽︶)∩ I mean come on they're packed with beneficial ingredients! Who doesn't love that? Today's product is Holika Holika's Heartful Moisture Lipstick. I really like lipsticks when it comes to make up (*~▽~) I own more lipsticks than anything! ( ಠ◡ಠ )
( Holika Holika Heartful Moisture Lipstick, image is from Google)
I really enjoyed the variety of colors for this lipstick very much as I had the hardest time choosing a shade ! The color choices are; Baby Beige(BG401), Sweet Coral(CR301), Pink Love(PK121), Fresh Orange(OR210), Candy Red(RD807) and Kissing Red(RD808). 
(Heartful Moisture lip colors, image from Google)
Choosing a color was hard for me as I really like pink shades as well as red shades so I decided to buy Candy Red as it looked like a reddish pink shade as it looked like a perfect mix of the shades I liked and was looking for. (≧ω≦) Now the great thing about this lipstick is that it contains essential oils such as:
❤ Sweet Orange Oil (Soothing as well as rich in vitamins. Can also help with many skin issues, is anti-inflammatory, anti depressant and so many more!~ )

❤ Grapefruit Oil (Antioxidant as well as euphoric. Grapefruit oil also helps as an antidepressant, disinfectant, tonic, and many more. It is said that the euphoric scent of Grapefruit oil may help with stress, anxiety, as well as weight lose due to the scent creating energy/stamina in the body as well as many more great things!)

❤ Olive Oil (Keeps lips hydrated and heals chapped lips. And helps hair and much more!)

When it came to delivery time it was very fast as I got it less than a week and was packaged wonderfully ! No damages of any sort and the box for the lipstick was just too cute !

(Lipstick case and opened)
I loved the color ! (even though I was a tad too pale for it so I looked silly with it on me so sorry for not taking face photos of it  ; o ; )  It's a wonderful shade of red and pink and the lipstick is a cute heart shape just like the photos (✿◠‿◠) When I tested it out on my lips I felt the lovely lipstick melt onto my lips just as my Aqua Petit Jelly lip tint did. My lips felt hydrated and smooth when wearing this lipstick and it had a sweet smell like candy (。♥‿♥。)

Hopefully this review will still be helpful even though I didn't upload a photo of the color on my lips but trust me I'd look like clown if I did ; o ; So now here is the final rating as well as the Pros and Cons.

Pros:
Cute shade(s)
Smells nice (◡‿◡✿)
 Amazing delivery time
 Cute box and design
 Beneficial ingredients
Hydrates and smooths lips

Cons:
✘ None

I can't really say there are any cons as my paleness isn't their fault and neither is how small the lipstick is as most lipsticks are small ಥ‿ಥ So without hesitation I give Holika Holika Heartful Moisture Lipstick 5 stars out of  5!~

❤ Holika Holika Aqua Petit Jelly Pink Shadow Review ❤

   

    Hello darlings!~
Today I'm writing a wonderful review about Holika Holika's Aqua Petit Jelly Pink Shadow. I've heard such great things about Holika Holika's makeup as well as skincare items so I decided to search for this wonderful makeup! Now normally I check shopping sites for the product because sadly, you can get the brand somewhat cheaper on a shopping site such as eBay or Aliexpress compared to the actual site > o < (I know I sound cheap and terrible for not buying the actual brand from the legit website but money is quite hard for me at the moment so I have to make such sacrifices). Aliexpress does carry Holika Holika but not for an affordable price! I mean you can pay $50+ for a lot but when you want to by it by piece its just as expensive as buying in a bulk or lot! So I crossed Aliexpress off my list. Next was eBay and I found a great collection of Holika Holika products on there that were quite affordable but I compared prices from eBay and the US Holika Holika shop and eBay was a bit cheaper for me so I purchased through eBay( Mind you Holika Holika's website prices are quite affordable but I was purchasing more than 1 item so that is why I bought through eBay). Though in the future I will purchase from Holika Holika's USA website as it will be much better to write a review for the amazing brand/website so as for now I apologize for being cheap. ; A ;

Now I don't know very much about Holika Holika's makeup but I do know the products in the makeup, I believe it's much more beneficial for your skin compared to many of the brands here in the United States. I bought my eye shadow (which comes in 4 colors: white, pink, purple, and teal) from " iamlove-shop " . I chose pink since most of my nice clothes have some shade of pink in them (and the fact that I already own so many dark eye shadows : A : ). The shop also put the lovely features/benefits of this item in the product description , which I liked very much (◡‿◡✿),The features/Benefits as stated in the shop are: "Has beautiful pearl like textures making eyes shine/twinkle" and "Stays on very well". It also states that it is a water based formula ( a water based formula is makeup that contains water and sits on the surface of the skin and not in it. Pretty ideal for oily skin/troubled skin in my opinion!~)


(Holika Holika Aqua Petit Jelly Shadow Color: 03 Pink, Image from iamlove-shop's store.)

The delivery for the item was great as it arrived a day earlier than the actual expected date ∩(︶▽︶)∩. When I received my package it arrived to me in wonderful condition! No dents or tears! When I opened the package it was securely wrapped in bubble wrap and in its original box ( the tear you see in the photos below were from me though as I was anxious to see the shade xD ).

 Also to my surprise I was given a lovely gift of samples as well.~
(Etude House Sweet Recipe Baby Choux Base Front and back)
(Tony Moly Red Appletox Honey Cream, Sorry I forgot to take front and back photos befor I used the product > n < )

When I opened my lovely jelly shadow the color was perfectly as described!~ Though the color was very hard to capture due to the poor lighting ( I apologize for the terrible quality photos as my nice camera isn't working at the moment > n <) but the color is similar to the photo without ( maybe a tiny bit lighter) flash. The texture of the makeup feels very jelly like ( Hence the word jelly being in the title :3) but is quite hard to apply to your finger so I recommend using a makeup brush for it. I also had a hard time capturing the color on my eyelid as well as hand so I apologize if that part of the review is quite unhelpful :c When I applied the jelly shadow to my eyelid and hand it did have a very nice sparkling effect to it as it said and I stayed on my eyelid very nicely (✿◠‿◠) (took 3 wipes to remove most of it from my eyelid with my makeup removing wipes so if you got splashed with water or anything like that it stays on nicely! (ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ*:・゚✧ ) So below here are the photos of the jelly shadow itself as well as in use.
(without flash, Ughhhhh the horrid lighting ; . ; )

I assume that it didn't come out quite pink since I didn't put enough on as it was late at night when I took these photos. n.n; But anyways on with the BIG rating ! ( ಠ◡ಠ )

❤ Super cute colors                                                          
❤ Sparkly= more eye attraction (ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ*:・゚✧          
❤ Affordable
❤ Stays on great!

❤ Water Based!


❤ Beneficial ingredients

I give Holika Holika Aqua Petit Jelly shadow 4 out 5 Stars!~
