/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

My Marcia Velour OP came in today.
Thought I had bought the navy one (cause it looked like that on my screen) but it turns out to be black.
Black was my preferred colorway so I couldn't be happier!

My Honey Cake set arrived a few days ago. I made another unboxing/detailed video for it.

waiting on 5kg of gyaru clothes, craft supplies and weeby buyfag shit.

>waiting warmly

>>8377646
How much did you pay anon ?

>>8377659
¥12,900. some extra handling was required for a parasol too though.

kill me.

Has anyone else noticed that shippers are starting to use weird shipping companies? I've ordered a few things from eBay, and instead of using regular china post, it's things like FLYT or sunyou

I just find it odd that all of a sudden this is happening

>>8378363
Never heard of either of these... What country do you live in, anon? And what service do they get delivered by within your country?

The rabbit necklace should be arriving tomorrow, I hope.

>>8378407
I live in the U.S., but the items are coming from China.

Typically, they are sent via China post, and then the United States Postal Service takes it, and it gets delivered to me.

>>8378363
yeah, one girl from my comm notices that too but I dont remember what company was.

>>8377641
aw anon you're so cute, and the honey cake set looks really nice!


just the main pieces that haven't arrived yet and new stuff i've added to my taobao order

>>8346043
Made some more orders, Everything but the bodyline package has come.

>>8378804
wow, you are one very lucky anon!

>>8378820
crossing my fingers i get my hands on misty sky this saturday, then i would be truly lucky

>>8378849
I have my fingers crossed for you anon

The Cath Kidston dress arrived the other day and it's pretty cool. I'm also expecting a Bodyline order filled with stockings.

I was hoping the IW socks would come in today so I could wear them for ILD but it's probably not going to happen judging by the tracking updates. Oh well.

Liz Liza lucky pack actually arrived just now ha~

>>8380202
How's the pack and sauce on the otks?

>>8380240
Trunk is super cute, got the cardigan I wanted but the dress isn't the one I was hoping for. The otks are a Disney x Baby collaboration, I have the matching jsk and found these on LM.

Mini auction haul retail therapy since I'm missing my comm's ILD meet. Everything is with my SS except the Rilakkuma case and Target shoes (which I'm really happy with) which I just received!

>>8378804
Wtf do you do for a living?

>>8380367

Oh man, where did you get the 3DS case?

Random cosplay mini haul!

>>8380408
I run my own business

>>8380408
This is a typical monthly haul for me. Get a damn job and you can splurge like this regularly, anon.

>>8380417
If you have the 3DS XL/LL there are so many cute San-x (and Swimmer!) cases floating around. If you're like me with the older model, finding cute ones is a bitch, but luckily I found a Korean seller on Ebay still selling older model Rilakkuma ones
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Rilakkuma-Protective-Case-Cover-For-Nintendo-3DS-/281703848374?

>>8380543
Same anon who asked.

Tfw just got a dream job last month fresh out of college but can't afford a single brand dress..

waiting on everything

>>8380679
Thanks so much anon, but sadly they don't ship to the UK! I own the old model too, I bought the Zelda one and whilst it's cool, I sort of wish I'd bought the plain pink one because it's so much cuter.

Old AP dress, AP novelty travel mug.

>>8380797
I got that same pink cardigan and I love it.

We need more cosplayers in these threads! I love seeing some of the random stuff people buy and wig hauls.

>>8380871
I can't wait, idk how long you've had it for but is it pretty durable? I hope to get a lot of wear out of it.

>>8380797
sauce on the cardigans please?

>>8381499
I'm sure you can find them for cheaper but I impulse bought them.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/151399829107?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&var=450583868335&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

http://www.ebay.com/itm/161497211740?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&var=460526226344&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

Waiting on this op. It's very simple, but I feel like I could make it look casual or elegant so I'm excited to add it to my wardrobe.

Okay, so I've seen this wig in mail+taobao threads and this led me to purchase it.

http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a1z10.3-c.w4002-8626401480.60.Vaikbo&id=42249596380

My taobao order came in recently and I was pretty surprised when I took this wig out of the package and there are some blue toned wefts underneath the top layers of silver. This is kinda shown in the stock photos as well and taking a second look at the google translation of the page it actually even says "Daily lolita Japanese girl light gray / silver blue color mixing" I guess when I added this to my order I was too dumb to notice this. My fault. Just uploading photos in case other people want to buy this wig but are expecting it to be all silver instead of have those blue tones mixed in. How strongly the blue shows up depends on the lighting, the flash definitely exaggerates it.

>>8380797
Ah! I keep forgetting I own the mini bodyline hair clips! I have them in the bottom of a container, thanks for the reminder anon!

>>8381508
Thank you!

>>8380689
I just got a promotion, it takes about 4 weeks to be able to afford a new brand dress with tags

But I just started working more hours, so fingers are crossed for next payday

On mobile, not sure if picture will be huge or not but I just purchased today and I'm stupid excited haenuli had one in stock.

>>8382171
Congrats anon! It's gorgeous!

>>8382171
I hated that until I saw it in person, it looks so pretty in person! Grats

>>8380367
Thank you so much anon, I just went and ordered myself some of those brown clearance shoes. Beautiful, beautiful clearance.

>>8378363
Yeah, some things were sent to me via CPAM
Which is funny because in Cyrillic that reads 'SHAME'

>>8379518
Thanks anon but no dice! >>8379518

Pretty sure USPS lost a package with a rare wishlist item in it... at least the other item in the package is reorderable but I'm going to be so upset if they can't find it.

>>8382758
was it insured?

>>8377641
Wow, has it never been taken out the package since 2011?

>>8386004
I'm pretty sure it's second hand, it didn't come with tags and the shoulder strap on the bag looks like it's been used. The waist tie buttons had cracks too. I think the SS repackaged the items before mailing them.

I was also able to get the pink Misty Sky OP, barrette, and OTKS during the release, and a second hand CDC OP set in pink so I now have those coming in the mail! I hope AP stops releasing good prints and dresses on my wish list stop cropping up for a few weeks. My bank account isn't too happy.

Closet Child put up more Chocomint accessories and I finally snagged the other two heart 2way clips since I have the lavender "Hug Me" one.

I'm seriously addicted to Chocomint accessories.

>>8380797
i have those bracelets..
the bottom one with the chain and whatever is really weird. Didn't like it. Cheap quality so be careful.
One of mine broke and I just reused the charms and beads in a different project.
I saw that pink sweater and instantly wanted. Lucky anon.

>tracking info: out for delivery
>out all day so I miss it
>pick up slip at my house
>pick up available Friday after 6:05
>arrive at post office Friday @ 6:45
>package not there

I love my mailman, he's hot and a total sweety... I'm going to guess he wasn't working Friday.

>>8386463
I love these. I want to stray away from OTT sweet but I just fucking love all this cute shit and eat it up, no matter how much people on /cgl/ bitch about it.

>>8380202
May I ask how much the lucky pack was after shipping? And what SS did you use?

I just got the "come pick me up from the postoffice-letter" for my Spyro kigurumi. WOOP!

These just arrived, 3 weeks early.

I'm not really a lolita, buy I investigated Bodyline during the sale and couldn't resist. Got them in black and white, and I feel classy as all fuck wearing them

Why are shoes my greatest weakness

Waiting on these shoes in the mail and currently eying some Axes Femme pieces to possibly go with them.

This dress is currently in the mail. Aswell as a couple of things I have just ordered that hadn't been sent yet.

I'm so excited. plus merry making in the ghost town in wine but i cbf making a collage.

Still waiting on items from my taobao order to come in as well so I can pay for shipping.

>>8387087
those shit eyelashes
sorry anon but those eyelashes are so shit you can only wear them once, I would recommend finding something better quality, even if this seems like a good buy

I will sit here consumed with anticipation until they arrive.

>>8387122
>only wear them once
That's.. sort of what I intended to do. They're for costume wear and I really don't like the idea of reusing lashes after they've been all gunked up with glue and makeup and everything else.

>heavybreathing.jpg

>>8387142
a good quality lash can be worn many times and still look brand new, you just need to clean it afterwards. I've had some expensive lashes for a year, i just clean and disinfect them.
But hey if you only intend to wear those once then i guess they are fine, I just find them to be alittle too thick at the base (I dunno what you call it... the strip itself)

>>8387168

Holy shit those are gorgeous! Link to the red?

>>8378804
Where the fuck did you get a dolly cat dress? I can't find one anywhere

>>8387179
If I wore lashes daily then I'd invest in better pairs but I just get 'disposable' ones to wear for costumes.

>>8387197

Thank you! The red dress is actually Mary Magdalene's Elodie Doll JSK - I finally cracked and bought it secondhand from wunderwelt.jp, but it pops up quite frequently on secondhand sites and auctions.

>>8387201
Assumedly from AP at it's release through an SS

ashamed for spending money, but excited for orders. yeyy

>>8386722
Free shipping
https://otakumode.com/shop/5553f75b66845f9c5a458230/LIZ-LISA-2015-Spring-Lucky-Bag

>>8387201
I managed to snag it during release

>>8387220

Brb, sobbing forever. Thanks for letting me know, and congrats on snagging it!

>>8380429
Update

>>8386759
These do look pretty classy. How have they held up so far? And do they get scuff marks easily?

>>8387670

The black parts are just fine, but the white has developed a few small mystery scuffs already. Nothing obvious, but still.

Also, very light, very wearable, but you'll need to walk then in a bit before wearing them out - the leather is stiff as all buggery. They remind me of Barbie shoes a bit, in that they are incredibly sturdy and unmoving. Otherwise, very nice. I can see me wearing them a lot, at least, and they are unbelievably easy to walk in.

(captcha, no. candles are not food)

>>8379886
Great taste anon !

>>8380797
Please review this navy cardigan when you got it !

>>8387168
I'm so jalous anon. Congrats !

>>8387760
>jalous
'ow you say?

>>8386513
Thanks for the heads up, if it's crappy it's not a huge loss.
>>8387751
Will do

Can anyone tell me why I can't seem to receive any rings?
Every time I order a ring off of eBay it never arrives. Happened four times already.

>>8387805
Clearly your mail carrier has a taste for foreign jewelry.

>>8387670
They're hideous and tacky as fuck

>>8387201
They're all over Y!J

Snagged this baby for $15 on eBay in an auction.
Picking it up next week (will be worth the 2 hour drive)

>>8385994
Pretty sure yes, I have to go and check to make sure I ticked the box but it was EMS. I just don't know how complicated it will be to claim insurance from Japan?

Has anyone had to get FromJapan to claim insurance on a package for them before? It was lost within the mail on my side, so...

>>8387130
Holy shit, never seen that color before. Those are awesome. Do you have any idea what release they are or the official color name?

>>8387357
Sauce on bag? I feel dumb but I can't figure out what the logo says.

>>8388264
EMS should be insured, so just message FJ about it and see what they say? good luck!


>>8388272
look like they're either

I have 4 packages set to arrive tomorrow. My parents don't know I'm into lolita. I'm scared they will see the packages and get nosey. I'm supposed to be saving My money for the summer anyway.

>>8382171
2 girls in my comm twinned with it. Its so pretty

>>8388573

Did you order the tapeworm phone case or something?

SWEET CREAM HOUSE IS ON IT'S WAY. WOOOOO DREAM DRESS ACQUIRED

>>8386463
Every time closet a child updates my wallet shrieks in terror. I just ordered from them 3 times in the past 30 days

>>8386463
Do you need an SS to order from Closet Child? I've never ordered from them and only looked at their site once. I heard it's a bit difficult to order from them though

>>8387369
omg thanks, didn't know Tokyo Otaku Mode had Liz Lisa stuff. I'll be prepared for next season...

>>8388602
Congrats anon!

>>8388947

It's not hard. Just follow the prompts. I even managed to fuck up the last step (I let the paypal page time out immediately after ordering) and they just resent it to me later. No worries. About $13 I think in shipping for one dress to the US and it was really fast.

>>8387369
omg based anon thank you

Semi mail related:

Shipped a package off to america, cost me $20 and they said itll take 1-2 months....... jfc im so worried itll get lost.


Besides that some outfits coming in from taobao!! Super excited for these

>>8388947
They ship worldwide so no SS required, just fill in everything- it's not difficult at all if you use your web browser's translator. I've ordered from them many times and have been extremely satisfied with their service every time.

Though at the very end where there's a flashing PayPal banner, click it and it'll take you to PayPal. That kinda messed with me the first time I ordered from Closet Child.

the little shits have tracking that only says "in transit" instead of where they are.

>please i just want to wear weird clothes

>>8386724
Could you sauce and review this?

>>8389456
I don't think I've ever loved a collection of items more, sauce on egg shorts, shoes and cat socks?

>>8390304
theyre all from dog-dog.co

>>8390308
all of those are taobao resells lmao

>>8390310
im willing to pay more to avoid using a ss :^)
how exactly does this affect you

>>8390313
they're so much cheaper on ebay, and I was just pointing out that you're a retard

>>8377594
Been doing some serious retail therapy over the past 2 months. Items on my wishlist keep bloody popping up as well. Too lazy to make a collage.

Received in past 2 months
> Classical Puppets underskirt
> Fantasic Dolly socks
> Excentrique underbust JSK

>>8387357
I adore that green Baby JSK. I've always loved their babydoll dresses and the one you bought is in a rather interesting colour!

>>8388253
You'll never go back to having a regular iron once you have one of those.

>>8388953
>>8389344
Thanks you guys! I plan on ordering from them sometime and you were both really helpful!

>>8380367
i panicked because i thought the shoes were sold out, black no longer in my giant shoe size but at least brown in my size is the cheapest

Yay!

This pattern has been in "Departed USPS facility" limbo since the 4th, but when I contacted USPS customer service, they told me they wouldn't treat it as lost until the 20th.

>>8393697
Same but different location, my OP's been stuck in Alfreton for a week

>>8377603
That's beauuuutiful, anon!

Horray for capitalism. I have all the links if you are interested in something here!

Life is suffering, gulls. Even worse, I ordered this stuff back in early April and the shop I bought from - Miss Point - took literal weeks to get everything shipped to my SS. (They sent the wrong dress for one of my items at first, too.) I'll be stopping by my post office to see if they can find anything out because this is pretty ridiculous.

After some unexpected things that drained my finances, I've been able to send out my stuff that's been sitting in taobaoring. A new order I made also came in as well so I sent that off at the same time.

>>8393737
Link for pink headbow please

>>8393749
....we have customs that actually do shit? This is my first time ever seeing this kind of thing before.

>>8393737
oh my god its all too perfect. Can I just have... like all the links for the clothes and shoes? Looks like you've found some great stores.

Needless to say, i'm excited.
The bag is actually white on top, not pale pink, and i'm going to switch out the flowers for some blue ones.

>>8387168

Aaand added more shit.

With my luck, one of my dream dresses will come on CC tonight because I just spent all my allowance this month. I just couldn't resist the blouse though, since that was a dream item of mine. And the skirt, because it felt like a waste to pay for shipping for the blouse itself and welp, that is a very pretty skirt.

>>8387760

Thank you!

>>8394211
Where did you get the cream floral headpiece? I see that there is a name, I just cant seem to read it.

>>8388602
Grats! Enjoy~

>>8393737
Sauce for shimapan, panier and the dark brown shoes?

After 6 months of waiting my taobao order is finally ready and being shipped to me completely. Jesus fucking christ.
Then I also have a small ebay/BL/other order I'm waiting on now.

>>8394834
dropped

also surprisingly my order was only $51 for the shipping

>>8394211
sauce on straw hat and bolero?

I've got that black blouse as well, anon. You're going to love it, the fabric is fantastic and it looks great. And $51 for shipping? Wow. Which service did you use and how much was the weight?

>>8395012
Taobaoring and it says it's 4.88kg last time they messed up and didn't combine the orders, but sydney assured me they did this time. So fingers crossed mang.

>>8393734
Thank you!

>>8394389
Lovely! Love your taste anon.

>>8395015
I agree, I'm jelly. I love velveteen pieces.

>>8394838
Please review/post pics of the VM blouse replica when you get it?

>>8396211
Will do anon. I'm planning to do one giant review of everything.
I want to do a "haul" video with complete coords, but I have a shit 6 yr old digital camera. I don't really expect it to be anything amazing, I'm just hoping it's decent enough since I need blouse fillers and I couldn't find any others that had the "bow tie" without also having a high collar.

Got these all coming in the mail right now, mostly from AE and the auctions. Really needed to stock up on some basics and casual stuff. Also waiting in anticipation for my Fleur Antoinette reservation (Antique Peacocks are the best peacocks), but it seemed silly to put that beauty in with these

Sweet Cream house, Promenade de Paris, and the special set Honey Cake are all in the mail!

3 dream dresses obtained!

Socks and hair things.
Scrunchie coming from a nice gal from fb sales.
Others from SS.
I am hoping they will match cosmic stuff...

>>8387220
nononononooono... just checked wunderwelt
have dream sweet print in preferred colorway and cut...
Do I be good and just wait or add it to my mounding credit card balance
haha sorry random rant, just never been on wunder before.

What is this!?! steamer hybrid?

the milkim skirt i need to get from the post office... everything else I'm still waiting on (curse you mr yan for your free yet slowwwww shiping)

>>8396255
I have that Sylveon card in English. I'd have given it away for free if I knew somebody wanted it.

Just ordered these and I'm so excited.

>>8388573
No, but they have no idea I am a lolita

>>8398063

Are these the jeffrey campbells? If so, you'll love them! I have two pairs and wear them like crazy

>>8398014

>>8398120
Yes! I know it's just going to get hotter this summer but I plan on wearing them a ton in the fall.

>>8398174
They're Jeffrey Campbell's Joe Lace Up Boot. I believe they're exclusively on Free People's website to order. That's where I ordered mine.

>>8382758
>>8396211
Just wanted to update that my post office seems to have finally found my package wherever the hell it was (2 weeks later)... only to not bother trying to deliver it and leaving a slip. Awesome. At least it's supposedly ready to pick up at the PO. Hopefully you other anons get your packages sorted soon too!

>>8397992
Aw that's too bad, ah well. I peeked on ebay but everyone was selling the holographic ones at ridiculous prices, so I figured I may as well snag one myself off yja while i was already making an order. Found a holographic greninja too from the same seller and I'm only down a couple bucks, so not too bad really

sage for not cgl related

got this month;s beauty box 5.

Totally made up for the last one, which had cheap tweezers, lotion, a highlighter stick, and more lotion?

This month's box:

>LOL Rotational Eyeshadow Palette in Splash That Cash [FULL SIZE]: $3.00
This looks hook line and sinker like a palette I got at Dollar Tree. Payoff is DAMN good for a shimmer shadow, and the formula is nice and silky. The gold feels a bit out of place but its pretty, and I've needed a dusky green shadow set for a while.

>Herbal Essence Body Wash in Honey, Smell Good: $2.49
BB5 telling me I'm smelly again. Thanks bro. For real though, I love Herbal Essence products but a tiny bottle of body wash is like...? Maybe I'll use it when I go to the pool.

>Nails Inc. Nailpolish in Brook Street [FULL SIZE]: $9.50
It's a dark rose pink; too dusky for Nicki Minaj and too bright for subtle looks. Not my style. I like nudes, and dark royals. If someone here's interested I might send it to them.

Simple Skincare Micellar Cleansing Water: $7.99 (comes with $2.00 off coupon)
The cleansing water is a fad that's popular in Asian beauty, but the sample is so small its virtually useless. I'd be interested in using the coupon if I thought a single store around me carried the product.

>Coupon for Gorge Hair: $20.00 off any order over $49.95
Thanks for the coupon for the online shampoo store. It's 97 degrees outside. I had face wash explode in my car in 70 degree weather. Not ordering soap online to explode on my doorstep for the price of 25 bucks.

HOWEVER you guys can use it. First come first serve, I suppose. The coupon code is FFF20 (never give up, never surrender) and can be redeemed at gorgehair.com.

I ordered a bunch of rings over the past week or so and almost all of it came today! So excited!
I've got some fabric to use for an OP for a meetup in July, yellow lace for a blouse I'm working on, a set of eyelashes, a bronze mouse-shaped ring, and a pink kitchen scale.
Last one isn't specifically Lolita but it's cute and I've been wanting a scale to weigh packages on. Still waiting on a set of bottom lashes but otherwise everything is great!

>>8400117
Heyyyyy! can I get the links for the ring and the scale?

>>8400102
It occured to me I forgot they sent a small tube of Urban Decay's Perversion mascara.

>>8389336
1 to 2 months?
Where are you sending it from anon? I get packages from outside the US in less than 2 weeks, 3 weeks tops

>>8401310
Land down under, Australia. Its halfway across the world I guess... Nothing of value inside, its just a cosplay dress but still i dont want it to get 'lost'

>>8401215
sauce for the gradient tights?

>>8397912
how is everyone still getting the gold socks when they've been sold out on the site?

>>8402134
Not that anon but it says they're getting theirs from their shopping service. Everyone posting probably got them bought through services and are just waiting for them.

I am so excited for this
I havent wore anything cute and feminine or showing a bit of skin since YEARS (very self conscious,ED,...) I hope i will look cute now...

here ya go!
The two threads linked together really confused me

>>8402521
Good for you anon! I'm sure you'll look adorable.

Just one thing, that kitty dustplug is apparently kinda shit according to an anon who bought it a while ago. If you look through the archive you can see the pictures she posted and read the review.

>>8402553
>>8402521
Not the original cat anon but I'm the anon that bought a pack of them and posted pics. They all came out really derpy but it made them super cute if you don't mind wonky looking paintjobs.

So I have a dress coming in from Australia. The tracking said it landed in my state, then the next day its in a completely different state not even close. Has anyone ever had it happend and gotten it resolved? Should I contact the seller? They used the address exactly as it was on my paypal so it's not even their fault, but the post office's.

>>8402720
Oh what! These must be knock-offs of already super cheap dustplugs. I have these exact kind (free gifts that came with Taobao orders.) and they're great! They even have tiny little paws painted.

I just took a photo, but my phone doesn't want to post it for some reason. I'll post it later, anyway.

>>8402872
Aha, it worked that time! Polite sage.

>>8402867
>>8402872
Oh that is pretty cute! I still have Buttface-Backballs as I like to call him but I think he's lost somewhere in my junk drawer.

Woah...it's kinda bad but they still are adorable

>>8403344
keeeeeek.
I ordered this one especially hope it's not going to be too bad

>>8395131
I might have a problem. More stuff coming. Hopefully I won't regret the yakata and hanao, I haven't tried kimono or anything before. Also there is supposedly a stain on the milky berry skirt, in the crappy picture they used it looks like the print ran a little bit. Gonna see what I can do about that.

>>8403906
Where did you get the yukata and geta shoes?

>buy pressed powder from UK store
>15 days later and it hasn't arrived

>>8404336
what, you don't think they match time of the roses perfectly? they will go so good with my maido headdress and sailor moon crescent wand.

>>8404316
Thank you so much! Everything looks so cute.

Please help me gulls, my anxiety is through the roof. I made my first Taobao order using Taobao trends, everything was smooth, but:

"Your item was undeliverable as addressed at 12:08 pm on June 11, 2015 in [CITY, ZIP]. It is being returned if appropriate information is available."

I thought it would've arrived on Monday or so, but I have been home waiting for it to arrive. Is my package being sent back to China? Do I have to pay for shipping again? I'm calling my post office when it opens but I can't sleep at all. I've never had this issue.

>>8403906
I remembered some other stuff I ordered.
I'm finally getting around to spreadsheeting my purchases & sales and...things are a little bleak.

>>8405997
False alarm!

I ran to the post office as soon as it opened, and after dealing with a lazy woman behind the counter, her supervisor checked to see if they had it and they did. I got my first Taobao order and everything is good (except one plate is broken)

>>8406786
Congrats anon! Contact your SS about a refund on the plate though.

Nothing /cgl/ related, except a beauty blender.

Then Legend of Zelda, spirit tracks, and a garrus figurine. got one of those adult toy tails in yesterday. protip: they're shorter than they look,

>>8406739
arent those plates for that nail stamping thingie? Where can i pick one of those up?

Costume and accessories, contacts, and Tiger & Bunny figures should be here this week if I'm lucky.

Everything else still hasn't reached New York customs.

>>8406846
These plates are from this site:
http://aiyoohehe.com/collections/all

You'll need a rubber stamper to use them, I'd actually recommend getting one like this, look for ones called "marshmallow stamper"
http://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/Free-Shipping-Nail-Art-Stamping-stamper-with-2-PCS-Plastic-scraper-Soft-Silicon-Material-Nail-Art/808472_1868693412.html

>>8406857
>http://aiyoohehe.com/collections/all
Should I not buy the stamper from the first website. It's only 70 cents... Thank you though, I'm adoring the licensed plates there. I saw this on an episode of Tried and Tested:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cjm1g7_G8vo

And didn't know whether I should get one. Seeing material like Princess mononoke and sailor moon sold me though.

>>8406870
I am not 100% but if the one they have is the same as the first one I tried, it is harder and smaller, making it more difficult to get the full image you want, and more difficult to apply the stamp to the nail. What it IS good for, if you have the patience of a saint, is reverse stamping where you get the image onto the stamper, let it dry for a hot minute, then use dotting tools or small brushes and paint the colors in on top of the lines, then you paint your "base coat" color over the top of that, do a clear coat (NOT fast dry) and let it dry, then peel it off and apply it like a nail decal. Takes forever and a day (that's why aliexpress sells "refill" packs of like 25) but it's easier if you have trouble stamping. There are also probably marshmallow stampers on ebay and if you're patient you can probably get one cheaper, closer to $1 or $1.50 than the ones on aliexpress

>>8406847
I have that eyeshadow pen, Anon. I'm sorry, but it's very oily and smears easily, and it does not stay put even with primer. For messier styles or looks it's okay.

>>8389456
Omg i love that kind of weird clothes. Have the same milk shirt,black mask and pink jelly boots.
I kinda wanna draw you wearing the grillage socks,LED shoes,egg shorts,black mask and milk shirt
I want to draw

>>8407122
Well that sucks. Thanks for letting me know.

Waiting on whimsical vanilla-chan op in pink! It left japan about 12 hours ago and I had it shipped via ems, I'm hoping i get it saturday or earlier (I'm in the uk) as I'm going away for a week!

>>8389336
added some stuff to my order debating whether i should spend a bit more...

It's hard resisting the urge not to check USPS tracking every few hours just to get some kind of update.

I know I posted this in the other thread that's in auto sage, but I'm still waiting on this haul- I've been waiting on the Liz Lisa dress for a few weeks now and the shoes finally shipped a couple days ago after the seller had some family issues.

Though I bought the contacts and eyelashes from Honey Color and I've never used DHL before. It's showing that my package has gone from Malaysia, to Singapore, to Hong Kong, and now it's in South Korea? I live on Guam, though...

>>8408511
>Liz Lisa dress
I envy you so much. A Liz Lisa dress on me would be a long blouse.

>>8408511
where'd you manage to get those shoes?

>>8408513
I guess this is one of the advantages of being short, haha. But they do run pretty short, even on me (I'm 5'1, my other LL dress hits a little bit above mid thigh).

>>8408524
They're Dream V boots, I managed to find them secondhand on Lace Market. Unfortunately they're sold out on the Rakuten site, which is a shame because I really like the ones in light pink and beige.

>>8394838
Link to the brown blouse at top? I had it bookmarked a while ago, but somehow lost it and can only find it on AE

>>8408511
I just got the same shoes anon! Don't worry DHL is really super awesome.

>>8409924
I actually got my package from DHL and it was soaked. Apparently the seal on the multipurpose solution for my circle lenses broke during transit and now I only have half of the product. Pretty bummed out about it, but at least the contacts and lashes were fine.

>+1 for cute shoes club!

>>8410527
>seal on solution broke
Mine did the exact same thing anon and I ordered from HoneyColor as well. Just send them a message and take pictures of the damage and ask for a replacement bottle. Mine stained the contact box pretty bad and was still leaking a little when I opened the box so I took pictures immediately of the bottle and of the stained box and they were more than happy to ship me another bottle which arrived in perfect condition.

Stuff I bought recently. Not everything has been shipped out, yet. But I'm really hyped for everything, and I'm so happy I just got the JetJ bisque doll dress as a birthday treat for myself.

>>8411202
Glad you got yours replaced! I emailed them yesterday about it and I'm hoping they'll send me another bottle as well.

Yeah, my contact box was pretty damp on the bottom like yours as well, but at least they're steel sealed in glass bottles.

>>8411255
So you outbid me on the JetJ dress
>hurts but can't be jelly

I've been selling off more OTT things in my wardrobe and going for more wearable items. The 3-strap Jane Marple-esque shoes have heart shaped buckles!

>>8416150
Where did you get the buckle shoes?

My Tiger & Bunny light ups came today. Got an amazing deal, $6 or so for the pair. Seller even tossed in the list sheet.

Bought the Crown Embroidered Sailor School JSK with matching headbow for the BTSSB tea party at Anime Midwest. One package is from New York, the other package is from San Francisco.

>>8416151
They look like they're from Ftroupe.

>>8416151
>>8416183
Yep, F-troupe. I got them off shoescribe.

>>8396211
For the "VM blouse" It's perfectly ok. Nothing is falling apart or mis-preportioned, but the fabric is kind of like a regular bodyline blouse. The bow you need to pin on(which I'm ok with since I am shit at tying bows.
The lace on the collar is butterfly shaped at the front, I'd barely call it a replica tbh.

It serves it's purpose for me though which is to be under jsk's and have a large bow without being a high collar.

let me know if there's anything specific you'd like to know. I'm a bit drunk right now.

AB only just opened up for orders again so obviously the headdresses aren't in the mail yet but I felt like putting them on there. the jersey is for me, and yes I know people hate kawaii goods, but I'm a fattychan and want chocolate tights so I decided to try them out.

>>8417594
where are the bat head dresses from again?

>>8417778
the poster obviously said AB (Antique Beast).

The Moitie OP should arrive this week. Wish I could find a better photo of the Moitie headpiece.

>>8418592
Dropped pic!

>mfw I'm on beach vacation out of state and my Bodyline order is out for delivery

I really hope my usual mail carrier is working and signs my package for me. I forgot to tell her I was going on vacation on Saturday.

>>8417594
Why hello fellow New Zealander

>>8420187
actually just an american that appreciates new zealand rugby!

>>8418596
jealous of that meta jsk, anon. I want to get something from that series but I'm not sure yet...I might wait and see if I can get my hands on TJ and if I don't I'll buy my sorrows out in that instead.

>>8419604
Update. They left a slip and I went online and rescheduled delivery for Friday. Hoping they won't send it back to Yanners before then.

Ugh. Really ticked off at the recent Paypal update because for some reason, it has kept my old billing information, even though I had changed it before the pp update. I also don't know why it's not responding to the update because I changed the billing address at my bank.

It's freaking me out a little because I'm supposed to have a package from someone and they're not responding to my emails, even though their lj stated that they're going to have limited internet access. I don't like that I can't see a time stamp on that lj entry.

>>8421170
I managed to get it updated (still annoying that I had to do it twice), and checked my pp receipt to be sure it was sent to my current address. I just hope that I hear back from the seller. I'm still waiting for an AP blouse and a MM bolero. I've never owned anything from MM because their sizes run too small (I've tried a jsk before, but it was uncomfortably tight, even when I had a 27 in waist), but I hope that the bolero fits me because I have a small bust yet a big ribcage.

I just got this cutsew (and another in black) made upon request by Cherie Cerise. It even came with a cute hand written note. It was well packaged and came in a timely manner. I like that she even stated that the material is from Chile and it's quite thick yet soft. It fits, but only a little tightly. Hopefully, it'll be more comfortable when I'm done with my period.

>>8417594
Yay! I've been waiting for AB to open up orders. I've never ordered from a Japanese website before aside from mandarake, so could you answer a question for me?

I filled out the stuff on AB to order, and they sent me an automated email saying that I will receive an invoice with the shipping cost. At least... that's what I think it said based on google translate, since I can't read moonrunes. I know I chose to pay through paypal with a credit card (but no paypal account). So I just wait for the invoice, right?

>>8421225
yeah! I placed my order saturday night and I got invoiced a few hours later after I'd gone to bed. You're right, they calculate the shipping cost first before they send you an official bill and paypal invoice.

i got some shoes from bodyline but theyve been sitting in new york for a week at least, so im getting a little worried. has anyone else had that happen before? typically new york has been speedier, compared to chicago.

>>8421522
I think recently something has been up, because normally I do have things go through there pretty quickly but recently I had one package sit there for longer than usual.

Got two LL tops, two LL sukapan, and one Tralala top in the mail recently, feels good~
Then, got a cosplay in the mail a few days ago which I'm just waiting until i have enough time to do a review on
Still waiting on an INGNI top and pair of shorts, and a Hello Kitty wallet

>>8408535
Ohh ok! Thank you anyway!!

>>8377594
Mostly staples for my Otome/Lolita main pieces and wearable dailies. Broke a shopping ban on brand but, that's lolita for you, no self restraint ^_^;

>>8396255
agenda, post-its and headbows came in yesterday, and my auction/dreamv stuff is out for delivery now! Getting some more nice stuff on its way to my SS again too, but I'm gonna wait off on posting that until all my auctions are finished just in case

>>8421215
damn this is incredible, how much did this end up costing you anon?

>>8421170
i know this feel, for some reason my paypal now suddenly switches willy nilly between my current billing/shipping address and an older version (literally the same except for some missing capitalization due to autocorrect troubles), so whenever I order through FJ the system thinks my items are linked to different addresses and refuses to ship them together

>>8416176
It arrived!

Tried it on yesterday and I love how it's pleated towards the hem and the lace too. The JSK is simple compared to my other JSKs which have prints. Baby turned a sailor fuku into a JSK. I don't like the double ties though, but they are detachable.

The shoes are for a future cosplay, but con is next month and I figured it couldn't hurt to have a cute to-go first aid kit, as well as thigh highs to substitute for tights.

>>8422391
That's beautiful anon.

>>8417594
KG tights came in. Uhhhh the material is really weird??? They remind me of those sleek, thin printed leggings.

Well shit. This is the longest I've had a package still be in customs. Ten days and counting.

spent some of my money I saved up for the german teaparty on oldschool stuff. maybe add 1 or 2 pairs of antaina shoes with it, but I'm not sure yet

>>8378430
That necklace is super cute! Where'd you get it?

A mix of items needed to finish off a couple coords I'm planning. Most of them are not intended to be worn together. I can post pics/reviews if anyone is interested.

I'm going to probably order more stuff soon, I picked up a second job this summer for fun money and eBay is calling my name.

>>8425840
those macaroon things are cute. what are they?

>>8425862
Coinpurses, but they're the perfect size to keep my earbuds in. They're silicone and supposedly waterproof. The wristlet is detachable.

>>8388272
>>8387130
Really late replying, but on the box it calls the colour 'oil.'

>>8425880
Neat, thanks!

>>8397864
Holy mother of Misako, Congrats anon! I've been looking at Promenade de Paris for a while.

Congrats again! It always makes me super happy to hear that people gain their dream dresses

>>8397912
Those socks are magnificent

>>8425840
What is the blue star thing, whatever it is, I need it. Sauce?
Sauce on the cardigan on the top right?

>>8425880
Is that a bag? With the fries and pizza on it? If so, sauce on that? I would love to have one.

>>8426038
It is a bag but it's from Primark and I'm not sure they will have it in stock anymore as it's quite an old product.

>>8426059
Darn
It's pretty cool looking, but thanks anon!

>>8426032
It's a earring cuff. The last star dangles off.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/191579714688

The cardigan is true to color in real life, but it's not sheer at the bottom like that pic. Fabric was sewn to the underside. It's not as long as the pic makes it look either. Still cute though!

>>8421522
My BL packages tend to stay in NY for weeks so I wouldn't worry.

I'm currently waiting on a pink Misty Sky and CDC OP set to come in the mail, and I'm trading for a Honey Cake OP hopefully this weekend. This will be my first trade, I hope it goes smoothly

I buy a wig a month ago with estimated date "12 june to 19 june" but i don't received the package, why?

>>8426021
Same, congrats anon! There's no better feeling than getting your dream dresses, especially HTF prints.

>>8426107
how the fuck should we know?

>>8426107
Where is it coming from? And where is it going?

>where did it come from cotton eye joe?

Taking a chance on this cheap wig.

>>8426245
This looks so flimsy and thin.

>>8423247

Worn pics would be lovely anon. How is the design for the size of your legs?

>>8426302
I'll try to take some later. at first i was like, cool @ the range of sizes for tights but now that i see what material they're made from, i understand why the sizing is like that...if i knew what the material would be like, I would've gotten them a size bigger because the material does NOT like to be stretched, the print fades a bit even with mild stretching. kind of bummed cause it looks funky. I'll try to come back with a pic tomorrow.

all I can say is for sizing like...don't look at the sizing and pick it base off stretch ie if your thigh is 15 inches, don't get 13-15, get the size stretching from 15-17. (dunno what the actual numbers are just throwing random ones out there) like, the tights seem like they would be better if they are a bit loose instead of stretched.

Waiting on this, im so happy with how it turned out.

>>8422351
$92

She broke it down like this
>$38 x 2
since I bought two cutsews that weren't custom made, which would have been an additional $12 each

>+$16 shipping to the U.S.

I realized now that they're quite warm to wear in the summer. I imagine they're really comfortable in the fall.

>>8426270
It's 90 degrees and humid, and my hair is a frizzy disaster. I wanted a thinner wig for everyday use.

If it turns out to be a nightmare, then thats 6 bucks of someone else's out the window.

I forgot to say I'm giving Daiso's Charcoal mask a try.

I've been on a lolita buying hiatus (for the most part) since last fall, with a few exceptions here and there like ordering dream marine and a few small set completers. I finally splurged and bought myself a dream dress, something on my wishlist that was on sale, and some stuff to make into a coordinate. Also not pictured are some baby socks and a bag that arrived earlier this week to go with Honey Cake.

I was lucky this month and got things I really wanted.

>>8426911
>Image Livre and matching necklace
Nice taste, anon. Image Livre is on my WL in brown. I missed it when it was 50% off on ETC's site.

>>8422339
>>8396255
Had to go pick the package up at the post office because the postman apparently both came early and didn't ring the doorbell, but got to finally open my FJ order and I'm really happy with it all. A couple things of note:

>dreamv stuff (tights, cardigan, skirt)
Tights are straight-up beige instead of white. Again. I'm never going to find a decent pair of white tights. Cardigan and skirt are good, different fabrics than i'd expect but accurate to their stock pics
>axes femme skirt
turned out to actually be chiffon, it's really comfy and somehow works for both normal wear and lolita. the lace is really nice on it too
>winexblack dress
got it for 200y, figured i'd take the risk on it not listing measurements or brand.
I was so excited upon unpacking it to discover it's actually Ankh Rouge and perfectly my size, by far my favourite thing from this order

>>8426915
Thank you! I was lucky to find it in ivory as that was the colour I wanted it most in. Can't wait to wear this! Good luck on your quest as well!

>>8426634
that's so cute!

>>8425872
That's such a cute idea! Now I want one.

>>8426740
>Daiso's charcoal mask
You're going to love it and it lasts a long time. I bought a tube of it last year and it's still going. It doesn't get all the stuff out with one use but it definitely does get a lot out.

The black x white is my preferred colorway but this was less than half the price that goes for. I'm worried it's too similar to my Cathedral print JSK in the same colorway though.

>>8427603
That's awesome! I snatched it up for 5 bucks on Amazon and that's a hell of a lot cheaper than any mask I can buy in the States.

Got packages I missed while on vacation arriving tomorrow. Bodyline, Honey Color, Taobao.. my poor mail carrier.

Waiting on Sweet Cream House Mocha JSK and this cute Swimmer Beret. I can't wait!!

All the mail I missed while I was out of town.

Heart bag and blouse came in. Still waiting on alice fururun on brass band cat. Everything else is on it's way to me.
