KickinItKawaiii Review!

Hello everyone! It's been kind of a while since I posted a review, thanks to computer problems ((´д`)) But thankfully, everything is back to normal and I can post the reviews I've been saving! 
So, today I'm going to share another kawaii package of kawaii-goodness from KickinItKawaiii on instagram! I was so happy wityh my first order that I decided to buy more cute things (‐^▽^‐) (you can check out my first order review here)
My items arrived in less than a week and packaged in a small package~
 GASP. MANY THINGS
When I poured the contents out, there were my items PLUS a ton of extra goodies!! *0*
 The first thing I got was this adorable little thank you note ;w; it reads "Thank you so much for always being so supportive! As always I hope you enjoy everything! Thanks again! Caitlin" so sweet !
 The next items I received were the two adorable ice cream bear keychains I bought! There were a bunch of colors, but I decided on mint and blue
 I love these little guys so much because they have a very "handmade" look to them, like someone had arranged the little gems and fruit unique to each kaychain (*^▽^*)
 The green bear had a little spot of brown on its ear, and the blue bear had a little extra bit of plastic on the back. I don't mind because neither "flaw" is overly noticeable~
 The next items I received were these super tiny and super cute bells! Each one appears to be hand painted, which is awesome ( I would go blind painting these omg)
 The first two are yellow and white dragons! They look pretty lucky to me (*゚∀゚*)
 The nest two I got were a strawberry and a manekineko with a fish! 
Fun fact: manekineko means "lucky cat." Between the cat and the dragons, it appears I have myself some magical lucky bells( ゚∀ ゚) maybe they can get me to college 
When I was little, my friend and I used to go to China Town a lot and buy each other little bells similar to these, so having these gives me a sense of nostalgia uwu
The next item I received was a plastic Mameshiba bell! It was a free gift :w:
 I'm not an expert on Mameshibas, but I think this one is a...black bean? I think it's a black bean. It matches the tiger Mameshiba squishy I have! (*^v^*)

 And last but not least, all the CANDYY!! There were probably ten little candies in the package, along with a pink bear lollipop! (All of which were eaten that day)
 Let's take a moment to absorb all this kawaii goodness here

~Ratings~☆

quality:♥
I was extremely happy with everything in this package! The extras were awesome (and delicious) and I received everything I had purchased! The little bears did have minor flaws, but I was informed of this before buying

shipping:
Shipping cost $2.50 (which is really good) and my order came safely and packaged nicely~

cost:
Each ice cream bear cost $3.50, and each bell cost $1, bringing the total cost plus shipping to $13.50!

overall:
Overall, I was once again amazed at how cute everything was, and how many extra goodies came with my order! It makes me really happy to see sellers going the extra mile to include these things :w: The ice cream bears were too cute, and the bells appeared to be hand painted! The best part of all of this, is that I can now use them to decorate my pouches and bags (*´▽`*) I definitely would suggest checking out KickinItKawaiii's instagram shop and buying some adorable things! The prices are seriously great and shipping is very cheap! 


Thank you KickinItKawaii for the adorable package, and thank you everyone for reading!

Hey Chickadee/MILKBBI pouch and charm review




Hello everyone! Today I will be reviewing two products I bought from Hey Chickadee~
Hey Chickadee is an online shop with tons of cute jewelry, plushies, phone accessories, and more! It's also home to the famous Pusheen, the most adorable, chubby  cat on the internet (^・ω・^ ) Hey Chickadee also sells artwork from many other artists, which gives the shop such a cute and unique variety of products!

The two items I ordered were a cell phone makeup/pencil pouch, and a soda girl metal charm-both designed by artist MILKBBI !

 The package arrived in less than a week, which is always a plus (*´▽`*)

The pouch and charm came individually wrapped in a thin layer of plastic (I took them out because the glare made it too hard to see) along with a cute little business card

The envelope also included a shipping/order receipt, which was also a giant sticker 
(ノ≧∀≦)ノ ONE FOR THE SCRAP BOOK (not really...well, maybe)


MILKBBI cell phone pouch
This pencil/cosmetic pouch is all I could ever want in a pouch:
-looks like a cell phone
-cute graphics
-PINK
-lots of room
-shiny
I remember seeing this pouch on tumblr but I couldn't find a link to it or who it was made by ;o; So when I finally found this on Hey Chickadee I was overjoyed(´∀`)♡
 The pouch has a pink zipper running down the center of its back, and has a sturdy lining inside. At first I thought "hmm, this pouch looks kind of flat. I wonder how much it can actually hold"
so...
I stuffed it with pencils to see how much it could hold! Let's see how many fit inside the pouch
9 mechanical pencils/pens, 17 regular wood pencils, a led refill and an eraser!! (*゚ロ゚) WAY MORE THAN I EXPECTED

or..
 1 eyeliner, 1 mascara, 2 lip gloss, 1 perfume bar, and my powder compact! Now I can't decide whether or not to use it for makeup or art supplies (○□○)

MILKBBI metal charm
I love this charm so much! It has a shiny/glossy front, and on the back is regular metal
This seems to be a very strong charm, which means I can feel good about hanging it on the pouch or on my backpack without worrying about it breaking
They go perfectly together ♥ 


~Ratings~
 
quality:♥♥♥ 
Both the pouch and the charm were sturdy and very high-quality. What I love most about them is the attention to small details, making very unique and adorable! 
 

customer service/communication:♥♥♥♥♥
Since I have bought from Hey Chickadee before, I didn't have any questions or concerns. 

cost:♥♥♥♥♥
The pouch cost $15, and the charm was $10.80. The charm was a little more expensive than expected, but was well worth it, Order total came to $29.36(including shipping)
 shipping:♥♥♥♥♥
I paid $3.56 for shipping, which is very low! The package arrived at my house within one week after purchase
overall:♥♥♥♥♥
I always fall in love with whatever I buy from Hey Chickadee, but these two items are my favorites! Reasonable pricing, fast shipping, sturdy items, and cute designing-I have no complaints! I was very satisfied with this buy and I will continue to spend all my money buy from them! 
If you are interested in grabbing the pouch and charm yourself, you can find them here:
(they also come in different colors!)
Also, don't forget to check out MILKBBI and Hey Chickadee stores and instagrams:

☆ YouMe cafe Book of Circus merch review ☆


Hello, everyone! Today I will be sharing with you some anime merchandise that I hold near and dear to my heart (mostly because it was only sold for a limited time):

 My  Undertaker and Grell merch from YouMe Cafe! sold to me by the lovely vvlin91 on tumblr~

When I first heard that both YouMe Cafe and Animate Cafe in Japan were selling these adorable items EXCLUSIVELY at their cafes, my heart sunk like the Campania.  I knew that these items would eventually be popping up on sites like Yahoo!auctions Japan, but for horribly high prices. 
Just when I though all hope was lost, I found vvlin91's blog on tumblr and found out that she had access to YouMe cafe and all of its glorious cafe merch (´▽`ʃƪ) truly a miracle.

Undertaker cafe badge: 20HKD ( 2.58 USD)
The first item I bought was this adorable badge, featuring little Undertaker dressed in a waiter uniform >u< so cute<3 It is a very sturdy badge and is about  4.5 cm in diameter. It's a decent size for a badge, and also very shiny~

Fancy Undertaker charm: 50HKD (6.45 USD)
The second item I bought was this fancy-looking Undertaker charm (for lack of a better word). It is very detailed for its small size, and the little Undertaker face in the center is, again, very shiny~ 

Undertaker and Grell rubber keychains: 50HKD each (6.45 USD)
The last items I bought were the two rubber keychains of Grell and Undertaker! Just like the badge, these keychains are HUGE (which I adore). If I remember correctly, these were only sold at random, meaning you were not able to pick and chose the characters you wanted, so I feel very lucky that I was able to get both of the ones I wanted. My favorite thing about these two is that they both have cute little stars on their hair/hats  ̄∇ ̄

☆~Ratings~☆

quality:♥♥♥♥♥
I must admit- when I first found out that these were cafe-exclusive items, I wondered whether or not they would be of the same quality as the mass-produced Kuroshitsuji merchandise-and thankfully, they were! Not only are the items larger than normal, they are also very well made and cute~

cost:♥♥♥♥♥
I have no complaints about how much I paid for these items. I was given the price that they were originally being sold for, which made me very happy. I later saw on Yahoo!Auctions Japan that these items were being sold for CRAZY prices (like 50+ USD for one keychain), so I was even more thankful to have gotten them so cheap.

communication:♥♥♥♥♥
vvlin91 provided excelent communication on both how much I would end up paying for each item+shipping and for when her next trip to the cafe would be so people would have time to place their orders. 

shipping:♥♥♥♥♥
Shipping was very quick and cheap, and the items all arrived packaged sefely.

overall:♥♥♥♥♥
I have zero complaints about this order, and will definitely place more orders from vvlin91 in the future if any more hard to get Kuroshitsuji items come around. 


☆~Links~
I bougt all four items from vvlin91 on tumblr! She is still selling Kuroshitsuji and anime-related merchandise, so I would suggest checking out her blog!
Sadly I think all of the YouMe Cafe items are sold out just about everywhere, since they were being sold in January. If you still want to try and hunt them down, I would suggest searching on Yahoo!Auctions Japan or FromJapan shopping service. Just be prepared for high prices if you do find some left.

Thank you for reading this review!
