☺HappyM0nday Review☺

(Happy Monday Logo from HappyM0ndayStore)

     Hello cuties!~ (✿◠‿◠)

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend as well as week so far. (。・ v ・。) Today's review is about Happy M0nday Store. Happy Monday is definitely one of my favorite online shops! ^ w ^ They have super kawaii items that are under $30!~ Here's some other lovely information about them:

❤ They accept international orders

❤ Shop is based in Bangkok I believe.

❤Payment methods: PayPal or Credit/Debit.

❤ Clothes are NOT ready to ship as well as the processing time can take up to 1- 10 days or possibly even more in some cases to process.

❤ Standard Shipping Method is Thailand Post which may take 30-40 business days

I've bought from Happy Monday a few times before though, I was too busy to make reviews until now! So I was shopping on their site (since they had posted on Instagram about new items hitting the shop and I decided to take a peek!). I found quite few tops that I had liked (as usual xD). The shirt I had bought was their "I'm not punk dad, I'm dark Kawaii" Top.I liked the top because it would match with a lot of my clothes and jewelry ( and because I thought it was a pretty funny yet cute shirt).

Now sizing with Happy Monday is quite different than U.S. sizing, They're smaller than European and U.S. Sizing, so they suggest you check your measurements with their size chart. ｡◕ ‿ ◕｡

(Size Chart from Happy M0nday)

I ordered my top in a medium and it took about maybe 2-3 weeks for my package to arrive. My package came in excellent condition. When I opened my package, my shirt was neatly folded and placed inside some plastic along with a cute card and pony earrings.❤ (◡‿◡✿)

(photos of  the shirt)

(lovely photos of the earrings and tags; I apologize my lighting was weird)

The shirt fit perfectly and the materials are super comfy too ! （　´∀｀）Though since it is a crop top your tummy will show. If you aren't comfy with your tummy showing a pair of waist high pants can remedy that . (∪ ◡ ∪)

Aside from that, I really enjoy wearing this top! ^^ It's cute and matches well with a lot of my jewelry and other clothes!~ Now let's make the final review!(~￣▽￣)~

❤ Pros❤:

❤ Great packaging

❤On time delivery

❤Comfy materials

❤Cute gift and card

❤ item is just like the shop's photo

✘ Cons✘:

✘ None!~

I give Happy M0nday 5 stars out of 5 ! u w u

(Banner Via Sandysshop, Storenvy)

     Hello again everyone!~

Today I'm writing a VERY belated review on Sandysshop's Super adorable Nerd Cat Socks.♥ I had thought I had left a review on the shop's page before but unfortunately I guess not. ; A ;

Sandysshop is an adorable shop on Storenvy that sells not only super cute socks, tights and leggings BUT they also sell clothing and accessories. (✿◠‿◠) I came across Sandysshop awhile after I had first made my Storenvy account and was rummaging through cute items. The item of course that I came across was none other than the Nerd Cat Socks. Me being and absolute odd ball with my clothing item obsession I knew I had to have them and their cuteness.（　´∀｀）☆ 

I bought my socks in black since most of the clothing I own is black.( you can also purchase them in Red and Midnight Blue as well!).

(Nerd Cat Socks, photo from Sandyshop storevny)

Upon opening my package I found a cute gift which was a yummy candy as well as my super cute socks! (◡‿◡✿) The socks were just like the picture and fit perfectly! * A *

❤ 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!

(Photos from how_watches_shop2011 via eBay)

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 ^!~

(Photos of packaged up wig)

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

♪ Stephanielikesyou Senpai Pin Review ♪

    Hello everyone!~

I apologize for my disappearance again as I was promising to update my blog more but work has been super hectic as I've been given more and more hours each day so I tend to be very tired most of the time even on my days off (which are another rare thing).Another issue I was dealing with was my laptop being broken (つд｀). It took months to get it fixed but now here it is ; v ; !!! 

ANYWAYS, today I'm writing a lovely review on a lovely and super cute Storenvy store called "Stephanielikesyou".( Also has a Society6 shop as well) This adorable shop sells the cutest pins and greeting cards!~ I came across her cute shop sometime back when I was looking for some cute pins for my bag and that's when I fell in love with her cute pins! (◡‿◡✿) Choosing a pin was the hardest as I had blown a great majority of my paycheck already but I fell in love with her " Sorry, Your Senpai Was Too Busy Noticing Me " pin and I though it was perfect for my bag ; v ; . 

(Photo from Stephanielikesyou shop)

After purchasing my pin I couldn't wait for it to arrive. A day or two after purchasing I received an email from the shop's owner Stephanie Yang who informed me that due to the weather where she is she would have to ship my item out a day later , which didn't bother me at all > w <. I thought that was very professional and responsible of her to inform me about that so I wouldn't have been discouraged about my item. u w u  The delivery time was good and arrived in excellent condition!~

(package and Business card)

When I opened my I saw her cute business card and on the back a note thanking me for my purchase as well as apologizing for the delay. o w o (Soooooo kind of her to do ; u ; I mean SO kind I still have the card ; u ; ) Then I pulled out my pin that was wrapped ever so cutely...

And at that moment I died! >u < It was so cute like the picture and was well made <3.

 What I really like about this pin is I can mix it with a lot of my outfits as well if I ever got bored with it on my bag ; u ; ( speaking of which sorry my bag hadn't arrived in the mail during this time xDDD). But this pin was so cute and I've gotten lots of compliments with it attached to my outfit or my bag, so it was definitely a great purchase!~~~ Now for the final review!~

Pros:
 ❤ Shipping was great even with a delayed delivery
❤ Responsible and kind seller
❤ Super cute and accurate as well as well- made
❤ Pin series is too cute
❤ Great price

Cons:
❤NONE!~~~

So all in all I give Stephanielikesyou 5 stars out 5 and I hope to buy more from her shop soon too

♪ Aliexpress Harajuku Wig Review ♪

        Hello again everyone!~
So I decided to take a small break on my make up reviews as I'm sure you're all tired of reading about make up lately which is why I decided to write my review on a Harajuku wig I had ordered off Aliexpress not too long ago. ヾ(＾∇＾)  I've heard many wig shopping stories about Aliexpress where they got exactly what was pictured or they got something way off from what they paid for, some even saying that they never received their item. As for me, I never ever had a bad wig review ( knocking on wood for that). To be honest, I ordered my two-toned brown wig off Aliexpress a year back before I got into blogging and got exactly what I ordered ┌(˘⌣˘)ʃ.

(Photo of my two toned wig from Aliexpress purchased a year back)

I feel as though not a lot of people buy wigs from Aliexpress to much due to some of them being much cheaper compared to some they find else where. I normally only buy wigs off Ali if they have a feedback comment or a pretty good feedback score. The two-toned wig I bought ( as pictured above.) didn't have a feedback score or comment but I took my chances and it was just as pictured!~ I honestly like to think of Aliexpress as the non-agent form of Taobao just minus the SUPER cheap prices (somethings on Ali can be cheap while others not too much.) But onwards with the ACTUAL wig review (Different than the one pictured above) . 

For sometime I was searching for a cute blonde and pink Harajuku wig that I had seen a month or two back. My first choice was eBay ( as I buy a few of my wigs off eBay) but every time I found the wig I wanted they wanted $20 and up! (´⊙ω⊙`) When I saw the exact wig a month ago it was anywhere from $9-$15 ! So I cancelled out eBay as my choice for this lovely wig. Next choice, Wig-Supplier.com , I have bought from them before and got nothing but lovely service u w u and last I had checked the sold varieties of Zipper/ Harajuku wigs (´∀｀).But to my disappointment they did not have the wig I was searching for u n u . Then third and finally, Aliexpress came into my mind. After a good 20-30 mins of page searches I found my wig! (屮゜Д゜)屮

(Dream Wig! u w u , photo from Aliexpress Seller's page [ Can't remember seller D:])

I realized what probably also makes buyers very weary about ordering wigs off from some of Aliexpress's sellers is due to the fact that some use photos from the original Taobao seller which I can understand but at the same time eBay does just the same. And what's pretty nice about Aliexpress is that they have the item feedback on the item's page whereas eBay, you have to dig through their store feedback to find the feedback on the item. I found this wig on Aliexpress for $14 and a good feedback comment and score with it ! So I purchased the wig and awaited my fate (╬⁽⁽ ⁰ ⁾⁾ Д ⁽⁽ ⁰ ⁾⁾).

The deliver time was actually kind of long due to how their customs are now. So an item delivery or processing time can take up to 1-2 weeks ; o ; . I came across a problem with my tracking however , it wasn't the seller's fault at all, but when I checked the status of my item it said UPS delivered my item when in reality it wasn't delivered o.o it wasn't delivered to my address until the next day. (Time travel?) But I really wasn't too bothered but the tracking issue as I got my item which was what mattered the most! Upon opening my item I was overjoyed to see my lovely wig just as I imagined it ; u ; The colors were just like the photo * u * and the only thing that wasn't like the photo was the curls at the end ( I assume it was from the packaging that changed the shape) as they didn't curl inwards quite like the photo.( nothing a bit of brushing couldn't fix c: )

(Some shots of the wig before cutting the bangs featuring poor iPhone front camera and bathroom lighting)

After brushing the ends out the wig looked cuter ; u ; I didn't really tease and style the wig since I was out of styling wax and hair spray ; o ; . So the next morning I decided to cut the bangs and here's the result....

(Wig with bangs now!)

I wasn't too happy with hoe I cut the bangs as they looked slanted to me ; A ; but it's been so long since I've been able to style a wig so I guess this was training as to getting back into cutting hair. I didn't brush out the curls before I took these so I apologize for that but the wig is really great I promise that. The wig is pretty thick and quite soft * p * ! I really wish I could have styled this wig a lot better for this review. ; n ; But I still hope that this was helpful for everyone ! So here is my wig shopping experience with Aliexpress! I hope to keep having a great experience with the numerous sellers on this site as they are pretty affordable (though the shipping can be a tad long at times).So now I shall give my final rating ; o ;

Pros:

❤ Super soft

❤ Just like the photos!

❤ Thick vibrant fibers

❤ Bought it a few dollars cheaper than the price on other sites

Cons:

✘ Delivery time D:

All in all I'm going to give Aliexpress a 5 stars out of 5 since I got what I paid for and not some cheap fake wig c:

✰ Holika Holika Soda Pore O2 Bubble Mask Review ✰

       Hello everybody!~
I apologize for being inactive for a while.. (*´д｀*) I've been quite busy and tired lately that I haven't had time to write reviews but now I've been able to write drafts a head of time on my email so when I do get the time I can paste it on here and revise it !~ But anyways I'm here to talk about a pretty popular Holika Holika product ( at least from what I've seen) which is Holika Holika Soda Pore O2 Bubble Mask. Like many of my Holika Holika products I purchased this product from eBay from " Bringbringshop " for $13.94 (free shipping included!~). 

(Soda pore bubble mask, photo from Bringbringshop/Rubyrubyshop eBay shop)

I know I sound like a broken record when explaining Holika Holika's products but I don't like to be lazy with something like that. So Holika Holika tends to have very beneficial ingredients in their products. For example, when I was reading about the soda pore mask's ingredients this is what I found;
 "made with harrogate carbonated water to provide minerals to the skin for better overall health and appearance. *Harrogate water originated from the UK and is known for its aiding in skin ailments. Also, contains baking powder, tea tree, and gold kiwi ingredients for *sebum and pore control, removal of dead skin cells, and providing bright and smooth skin." 

For those wondering about the benefits of some of these ingredients here they are:
  ❤ Harrogate Water- Aids skin ailments (inflammed skin, acne, acne scars, etc.)
 ❤ Baking Powder- Lessens irritation from inflammation because of its antiseptic property, also mildly exfoliates. ( Do not use straight Baking Soda on your skin as it is bad for your skin due to Baking soda having a pH of 9 and your skin has a pH of 4.5-5 [ read in a medical journal back in high school])
❤ Tea Tree- Natural alternative for getting rid of pimples, It has unique disinfecting and soothing properties, and doesn't strip your skin of the natural oils that you produce.
❤ Gold Kiwi- *Sebum and pore control, removal of dead skin cells, and providing bright and smooth skin( Sebum-produced but the Sebaceous Gland; lubricates and waterproofs the skin and hair of both humans and mammals.Implicated in the development of acne).

Now here are the benefits for the product as listed on Holika Holika's site:
❤ nourishes  
❤ moisturizes
❤Pore and oil control !~
❤Removes dead skin cells
❤Brightens skin
❤Smoothes skin

( Delivered package of the Soda Pore mask)

The delivery time was a little odd because the tracking number had said it was delivered to my mailbox when I looked it up but in reality it was delivered to my mailbox the next day which really confused me. I'm happy that I got my package at least , despite the confusing tracking information. When opening the box the product was securely packaged up in bubble wrap (which I forgot to take a photo of  sorry（ つ Д ｀）) . The Product looked exactly as described and I couldn't wait to use it!~ I didn't receive any lovely samples from this shop sadly. （ ；´Д｀）

(Soda Pore Cleansing O2 Bubble Mask outside of packaging)

( Better shot of the front of the bottle)

(Back of the bottle)

(Close up of the back)

After opening and seeing this wonderful product I decided to use it right away! I want to apologize for not taking pictures of it on my face but my cheeks are starting to break out again due to being stressed so I'm very sorry （ ；´Д｀）.

(Soda Pore Cleansing Mask without thinly being applied)

(Soda Pore Mask after being thinly applied and bubbled up)

 I really liked using this product on my face very much because it made my skin feel refreshed as I applied it and after I rinsed it off too! Though when apply it to your skin make sure not to use too much ( maybe a drop for each section) because when it bubbles up it produces a bit more for the skin and you don't want to rub oodles of it on your skin. The mask had a very pleasant smell, kinda like Mountain Dew ( though I don't think you should trust my sense of smell too much either xD) . When the mask bubbles up it creates a nice tingly feeling on your face (that I really enjoyed) and once bubbled up, massage the bubbles into your skin for two minutes. Once when the two minutes are up, rinse your face with lukewarm water. After I  had rinsed my face not only did my skin feel refreshed, but my pores felt tight and my blemishes felt less noticeable n.n

Now for the rating!~

Pros:

❤ Leaves skin feeling great

❤ Beneficial ingredients

❤ Smells nice!~

❤ Cute size (fits in a purse and whatnot, sorry I had forgotten to add it to the review until now)

Cons:
✘ Over bubbling = too much bubble mask to rub into the skin

✘ ( Not sure if the confusing tracking would fall as a con here )

I give Holika Holika Soda Pore O2 Bubble Mask 4 stars out of 5~

♬ Tony Moly Red Appletox Honey Cream Sample Review ♬

      Hello!~
Today I'm writing a very small review on Tony Moly Red Appletox Honey Cream (sample packet). (▰˘◡˘▰) Before I start I want to apologize for not taking pictures of the packet before use ; n ; as well as in use D: I used the cream as I was taking photos for my Holika Holika review. ; A ; I got this lovely little sample from my Holika Holika Aqua Petit Jelly Shadow order as a gift from ordering from "  iamlove-shop " . u w u These samples are given out randomly so I did not anticipate such goodies with my order. I have never used a Tony Moly product ever so this is my first Tony Moly Review ever. ◕ ◡ ◕ Like many skin and makeup products from Asia, Tony Moly is like Holika Holika they seem to have very beneficial ingredients in their products! As in this product it contains *Manuka Honey Extract ( provides an immunity and anti-bacterial effect to the skin),Royal Jelly (cools down skin troubles, thus making it ideal for sensitive skin), Black Honey (rich in minerals and amino-acids= nourishes and moisturizes skin), Apple Acid Ingredients ( Smoothes out skin), and  Propolis (provides anti-oxidants)*       (*= paraphrasing benefits from Tony Moly Website)

( Sample pouch that I demolished open ; A ; )

Since I didn't take a photo of the cream ( sorry ; A ; ) I will explain it. The cream is a smooth honey color that is easy to spread on your face but leaves a semi sticky feeling which the website benefits describes " Relaxes your skin membranes which gives the skin elasticity. " It also says " Suitable for all skin types ( especially tired,dehydrated or sensitive skins)" so no matter the skin type it should be suitable for you n.n I really liked the feeling it left on my face. My face felt so refreshed after using it and it left it smelling like delicious apples !~ (◡‿◡✿) Before you use this product make sure to cleanse and apply toner on your face. Then, apply an appropriate amount on your face and pat until fully absorbed. I greatly apologize for this horribly written review ; A ; but I did want to share how lovely this product felt so here is my rating.

Pros:

❤ Smells nice

❤ Leaves skin feeling refreshed

❤ Beneficial ingredients

Cons :

✘ ( besides the fact that I wished I took better photos for this review) None!~

I give Tony Moly Red Appletox Honey Cream Sample 5 stars out of 5
