☆ Pixie / Alpacasso Shop Order #2 ☆

So back in October, I decided to order again from Pixie! I know this review is really late...(╥﹏╥) I've been busy with school and work! I'm catching up on my blog posts though haha (@_@). Anyways, I actually purchased this order a couple days after I bought my first alpacasso order from Pixie~ I haven't even received my other order yet at the time, but Pixie was having a Halloween sale and it was just too good to miss! 

Pixie had posted on facebook that she was having a Halloween sale. In my opinion, following her page on facebook is the best place to be updated about her shop. Communication with her is also easier and faster through facebook.

Anyways, I saw that Pixie was selling the 50 cm Bridal Alpacasso Set for only $38.40 + shipping! Actually, I believe the original price for the Bridal Alpacasso Set was $48.00, but since Pixie was having a Halloween sale, I received 20% off my purchase! Even at the original price, $48.00 in my opinion is a really low price for two large alpacasso, so when I saw that the Bridal Alpacasso Set's price was lowering even further, I just couldn't resist buying it! ♪٩(✿′ᗜ‵✿)۶♪

The white set of Bridal Alpacasso was not available so I went with the pink and beige alpacasso! I don't really mind what color I get since my alpacasso collection is just beginning~ I had wanted this set of alpacasso since the first time I saw a picture of the white set on tumblr, but I didn't know that Pixie actually sold this alpacasso series. I thought this alpacasso set would be perfect for me and my boyfriend!

So this is what I received from Pixie! When I first saw the Bridal Alpacasso series, I wanted the white bride and groom, but I am actually glad that I got the pink bride and the beige groom instead! The colors are so bright and makes the alpacasso very cute! I named the pink one, Mochi, and the beige one, Pudding! I gave Pudding to my boyfriend and he loved him!

❤ Mochi loves Pudding! (I suck at taking pictures....so blurry ><) ❤

❤ Pudding loves Mochi! ❤

Haha~ Pudding's neck is still slightly bent since he was cramped in the box for so long...( ˘ ³˘)♥

Pudding and Mochi's Alpacasso butts! So cute!!(●♡∀♡)

 

Mochi and Pudding's tags! I love the Alpacasso tags~ They are just as cute as the alpacasso!

Family picture! I had received my Girly Kids Alpacasso (Kuroneko) already so thought i would include her in the picture as a size comparison. The 50 cm alpacasso are really big! Heehee my teddy bear, Bea Bea likes to sit on the alpacasso!

Of course, Pixie always includes freebies!

The stickers! I love the sticker! I really love the pastel colors and the unicorn sticker is my favorite!

Pixie also included some banners. I thought these very very cute! I wasn't expecting them at all and I think they would be perfect to use as decoration for my walls. I just have to figure out where to put them.....

Haha~ I asked my boyfriend to hold the banners up since I was at work and didn't have anywhere to hang them so I could take a picture. I think my favorite banner has to be either the Kids Alpacasso one at the top or the Bridal Alpacasso banner at the bottom! Pictures of real alpacas are so funny and cute!

Overall Rating:

Products: ☆☆☆☆ (4/5)

The products were in good condition. My only issue was that Mochi was missing a pearl from her the heart that is attached to the ribbon on her head. It could've happened during the shipping process, but I couldn't find the missing pearl anywhere. I'm not too upset thought because Mochi is still very cute and happy! I also got these alpacasso for a good price so I am okay if there is a little damage. ^^

Shipping: ☆☆☆☆☆  (5/5)

My items came in about two weeks, which is the usual shipping time. This time the shipping updated a lot so i was happy about that! Last time, the shipping barely updated ><

Communication: ☆☆☆☆☆ (5/5)

There wasn't much communication, however, Pixie replied quickly when I asked her on facebook about the price of the alpacasso!

Customer Service: ☆☆☆☆☆ (5/5)

The freebies were amazing and I loved everything! I think it was really nice of Pixie to hold a sale even though her prices are already so low! Her prices make me feel less guilty about spending my paycheck on plushies haha~

❤ My First Liz Lisa Pieces! ❤

This post is long overdue since I bought these items back in October, but I've been super lazy to take photos haha~

I was first introduced to Liz Lisa when I saw Kim Dao's youtube videos about her trips to Japan. Her wardrobe and hauls videos made me fall in love with Liz Lisa.

All of her clothes were just so cute ヽ(｡ゝω・｡)ﾉ

I always admired the Himegyaru style and loved the details that were put into each outfit/coord, but since I'm still a college student and I really suck with make up, I didn't think I would be able to pull off the style or even afford it. Liz Lisa primarily sells Himekaji clothing that is both princess like and casual so I thought it was perfect for me! I don't like having to deal with styling my hair or coordinating matching accessories with my outfit, so I really prefer to have a casual style that still looks unique, detailed, and cute. Although Liz Lisa is quite expensive, for me, their clothing is more affordable than most gyaru brands that I know of. ( They also have a ton of sales! )

Anyways, on to the pieces I bought! I ordered directly from Liz Lisa's official website and used Tenso as my shopping service. At first, I was really scared that I would mess up my order, since I couldn't read Japanese, but Emiichan's tutorial on how to buy from TokyoKawaiiLife was very straightforward and really helped. I would recommend that anyone who plans to buy from Liz Lisa and doesn't know how to read Japanese to check out her tutorial. 

These are original stock photos from TokyoKawaiiLife. At the time I purchased, I think only the pink and the white color was available. I decided to go with the white sukapan because white usually matches with everything lol.

Close up of print and tag!

When I placed my order, Liz Lisa was having a huge sale to get rid of their Summer/Spring clothing so a lot of clothes in the outlet and the sale section were 30% - 85% off (?) I don't quite remember the exact number. I was surprised this skirt was even on sale! I really love Sukapans because they have pants underneath, but the pants are also an added decoration to the skirt!

The lace design on the pants, made the skirt look cuter and more detailed.^^

The skirt had ribbons on the side!

I really loved the details that were put into this sukapan! I even showed my grandma and she was amazed by how nice it was! \( * O * )/ The material is very soft too and comfortable to wear! I wanted to get the matching top that does with this it, but there was only the blue top available and I thought it would be better if the skirt and top matched (T _ T)...

The second thing I got from TokyoKawaiiLife was a really big sweater from Tralala!

There were 3 colors available: White, Pink, and Camel ^^~ I decided to go with white since I thought it would suit my wardrobe the best!

So warm!

It's a pretty basic sweater~ When I wear it, it's really over sized and warm! I mainly got this sweater because it was on sale for a good price and I knew it was going to be good quality. The material is really soft too which makes it perfect for Winter/Autumn!

And that's it for my first TokyoKawaiiLife order! I didn't want to buy too much since it was my first purchase and I knew Tenso's shipping fees would be pricey as well... The good thing about Tenso is that my package arrived in about a week which is really fast since these items are from Japan~ 

I've been literally spending all my money on Liz Lisa and a bunch of other kawaii things so more blog posts will come soon~☆（⌒▽⌒ゞ

♥ Dolly Dynamite Review ♥

Okay, short blog post today because I'm soooo tired from work and exams. Christmas is coming up so I've got to work hard and earn money for Christmas presents (and my Liz Lisa fukubukuro hehe)!! Anyways, on to the review!

Usually, I don't like to spend a lot at online stores if it is my first time purchasing from them unless I have read a lot of reliable reviews for that store. I was planning on trying out purchasing some items from storenvy since I was going to buy a seifuku for my sister from storenvy anyway. I read that Dolly Dynamite was a reliable store so I decided to see if she had anything cute instock (｡+･`ω･´).

I decided to buy an organza skirt and bunny rabbit tights! Both were very cute!

Embroidered Organza Mini Skirt

Animal Tights ( Bunny Tights)

I had ordered the skirt in the beige color ~ Dolly had a lot of animal tights available! All with free shipping! I actually really liked the kitty tights and the bear face tights, but each pair of tights was about $15 so I couldn't spend too much >< The pricing may seem a little high, but for an item that I can't normally find in at my local mall, I think the price is pretty reasonable. The shipping was free anyway so that was a plus. 

Dolly also had some beautiful and detailed dresses available!! I absolutely loved them, but they were around $50 and I didn't want to spend too much on a dress that I didn't know the quality of. 

Hime Lace Cake Dress

This dress was one of my favorites! I think it is Himekaji style? I'm not sure, but it does remind me of a princess ^^~ I love things that are lacey, frilly, and full of detail! 

So about a day after I purchased, Dolly contacted me and told me that the organza skirt was actually out of stock!! (」゜ロ゜)」She immediately refunded me for the item though so everything was okay~ I was a little disappointed at first, but I understand that mistakes happen! 

Anyways, so I ended up only getting the bunny tights!

The bunny tights are so adorable!! Perfect for making a casual outfit look cuter~
The package is quite cute as well ^^

Overall Rating:

Products: ☆☆☆☆☆ (5/5)

The products weren't damaged at all. Quality was great for its price in my opinion!

Shipping: ☆☆☆☆☆ (5/5)

Took about two weeks to get to my house which is pretty fast! I wasn't really impatient with this order so when it came I was really surprised by how fast it was! Whenever I'm impatient, 2 weeks can feel like a month to me lol. The shipping was free so i was expecting it to take longer than 2 weeks.

Communication: ☆☆☆☆☆ (5/5)

I guess i can't really give this one an accurate rating since I didn't really communicate personally with Dolly, but she did inform me about the skirt being sold out so I guess that counts as communication haha o.o

Customer Service: ☆☆☆☆☆ (5/5)

Don't really know how should rate this since, again, I didn't personally communicate with Dolly. She e-mails her customers back quickly if there is a problem with their order though!

☆Dolly Dynamite is a reliable store and has a great variety in stock. Most of the items are reasonably priced as well and a lot of the items are on sale now. The only complaint i really have is that I think the number of stock per item should be monitored more carefully? I just think it is more reassuring for the buyer and easier for the seller if the listing of stock on the website matches the actual amount of stock the seller has.Overall, a pretty nice shop ^^ You can check out her storenvy here! ☆

☆ Pixie / AlpacassoShop Review ☆

I've been interested in Alpacasso/Arpakasso for a long time, but I was never able to buy one for a number of reasons. The main reason was that I couldn't find a reliable store that sold authentic alpacasso for a reasonable and affordable price. 

However, one day I was came across an alpacasso review for the Alpacasso Cubic Block from Pixie / AlpacassoShop as I was scrolling through tumblr. I thought the block was adorable and would be a perfect addition to my room ! I checked out Pixie's storenvy and saw that there were only 3 white Alpacasso Cubic Blocks left >< ! I'm usually really indecisive when i'm shopping online, so I ended up waiting and thinking about it until I saw that there was only 1 block left ! ∑(;°Д°)

I quickly decided to buy the block since I knew it was sold out almost everywhere else. After making my purchase, I began to look through Pixie's website and fell in LOVE with the Girly Kids Alpacasso series. Their bows reminded me of the costumes that magical girls from anime would wear haha~ ^^ After getting getting paid from work, I decided to buy the Girly Kids Alpacasso too~ I was a bit regretful that I didn't purchase the alpacasso and cubic block together since I knew shipping would be more expensive if they were shipped separately. So when I went to pay for the alpacasso, I left Pixie a note to ask if she could ship the two plushies together. I was fine with paying the extra shipping since it was my fault for not checking the two items out together, but I was hoping at least the two items could arrive at the same time. Since she couldn't reply to me through Storenvy, I messaged her on facebook about whether or not she was able to ship them together. Pixie replied quickly and not only did she ship them together, but she also refunded me for the extra shipping I paid for ! 

☆*:.｡. o(≧▽≦)o .｡.:*☆

I was super happy LOL

Heehee~ Aren't the Girly Kids Alpacasso so cute? The originally wanted the white one, but eventually ended up choosing the pink one since I thought the pink color paired with purple ribbons made her look sweet. *(*´∀｀*

☆Here are photos of my order! ☆

My Girly Kids Alpacasso and Alpacasso Cubic Block came with cute stickers and a small little freebie! The Girly Kids Alpacasso is named Kuroneko and the Cubic Block's name is Chao Chao ( ^ _ ^ ). The smaller alpacasso included in the picture are not from Pixie, but i thought they would look cute with the new alpacasso~ The small white one is named Baby Milky and i received him from my sister on my birthday! The winter pink alpacasso is named Sakura and i received her from my boyfriend for our 1 year anniversary \( > u < )/

Showing the back of the alpacasso~ Heehee little cute alpaca butts!!

Here is a close up of the stickers I received. They are so cute! The message on the stickers says "Please give lots of love. Water and food feeding is not necessary". Really cute message~ ^^ I will definitely save these stickers.

Close up on the freebie i received from Pixie! So cute! It is a plushie key chain~ The color is very cute and it is super soft. I gave it to my boyfriend since he liked it so much haha! He named it Mon Mon.

The products were in perfect condition with only the girly alpacasso face being slightly squished from packaging. It was easily fixed though ^^

Shipping: ☆☆☆☆ (4/5)

From Korea to USA, it took about two weeks to arrive which is really quick. ( Felt like forever to me though because I was so excited to receive the package haha). Only issue was that tracking never updated past "Origin Post is Preparing Shipment". This isn't Pixie's fault at all though! My items were all packaged safely so i'm really happy about that! Pixie also shipped out my items the day after I ordered them. 

Communication: ☆☆☆☆☆ (5/5)

Pixie replied quickly when I asked her if she was able to ship my packages together!

Customer Service: ☆☆☆☆☆ (5/5)

The freebies were a nice surprise and Pixie is a really lovely girl. She cares about her customers and refunded me for the extra shipping even though it was my fault for buying the items separately.

☆ Pixie / AlpacassoShop is a wonderful and reliable store! Their prices are quite low compared to other stores; however they don't have as many product options. Their sales are great as well! I just ordered some more alpacasso after seeing their halloween sale so i will post a review of that soon too. Usually their prices for a large plush are around $27 USD so I think their prices are reasonable ^^~ All of their stock is authentic and comes directly from Amuse! Pixie also often hosts giveaways!
