I haven't done one of these in a while! I've got a lot to say, so let's get right into it!
I hosted a GO for some friends, and as usual, I ordered a few things. All of these shops are brand new to me, and I suffered a few disappointments due to my over-active trigger finger. The good news is: I tried these shops so you don't have to!
As usual, I place all of my orders through SpreeNow. You can use my

Product wig - Factory Direct

| Stock photo, I do not own! |
All my friends know that my ultimate Lolita weakness is wigs. I am ALWAYS down for a great Lolita wig, regardless of price. I'm not sure why I love Lolita wigs so much, but I've tried a lot of shops. Imagine my excitement when I stumbled on another affordable wig shop with wigs under $5!
After my last semi-successful order with a "Cheap AF Wigs" store (check my previous review
here!), I was sure that I'd find some hidden gems in the sea of mediocre hairpieces. Buuuuuutttt, that's not what I got. At all.
 |
| Wigs! |
I received 3 wigs (out of 6, which means I have THREE more presumably awful wigs on the way, X_X) and immediately, I was confused. Why the heck are two of the bags so dang long?
The first wig (see stock photo above) looks like a copy-cat Rhapsody wig, so I ordered two because I liked the style -- one in flax and one in taro. The gray wig was supposed to be a long curly wig with bangs.

Now, take a look at my desk photo and tell me which one of those colors you think is flax. For those unaware, flax wigs are *usually* a blonde, gray, brown mix of color that tend to be more flattering on darker skin tones than say... platinum blonde.
But none of these wigs are the "Lolita" flax color. Instead, I was given a flax wig that's the ACTUAL color of flax, LOL. My bad for assuming that "flax" is the same color across all of Taobao. I can forgive weird colors if the wigs were great quality, though. Spoiler Alert: They're not.
 |
| The look of disgust on my face was not altered in any way, -_- |
 |
| I don't hate the taro. |
 |
| Yeaeaaahhhhh, no. |
If my pictures are any indication, I can safely say that none of these wigs brought me any joy at all. I did like the color of the taro wig, so I'd be happy to try other wigs in that shade range, but this shop is a HARD PASS. The first two wigs have fairly small caps too, so they aren't big head friendly.
Oh yeah, and the gray wig doesn't even have the bangs that I wanted! Arrrrggggghhh!!
After trying on these wigs, I threw them back in their bags and tossed them into a box to never be heard from again. 0/8, would not buy again, and I'm so mad at myself for ordering 3 more like an idiot. I'm sure y'all will see that review soon enough, XP
This shop is so horrid, I'm not even going to link it. Moving on!

I ordered this snowflake crown and earrings set for a fairy tale themed coord that I'm wearing to a tea party, so I couldn't wait to have it in my hands!
 |
| My crown! |
The shop packaged the crown very carefully, even going so far as to wrap both the crown and the earrings in bubble-wrap, individually, inside a sturdy pink storage box that was filled with more bubble wrap. The only downside to the set was that the earrings are clip-ons, T_T
 |
| Snowflake earrings |
My ears are pierced in multiple places, so I could have just used plain earring hooks, but that's ok -- I'll be wearing this for a tea party, not a rave, haha. The earrings are beautiful and match the snowflake motif perfectly. I'm 100% happy with this set; it's so pretty! I'm giving this shop an 8 out of 8, with the side note that it's unlikely that I'll be ordering from them again. I doubt I'll need another crown headpiece any time soon.

MY CONTACT CASE CAME IN!!! AHHHHHH~!!!!!!!!! :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)
I saw this contact case on some racist contact company's Instagram (what?! Read about it
here), and since there's no way in the world I'm giving them my money, I scoured the unending depths of Taobao to find the prettiest circle lens case I've ever seen in my entire life.
 |
| Box |
I was probably the most excited about this item because it's soooo beautiful! I don't wear my circle lenses often, but all the cases for them are old, and they need to be replaced.
Of course, I had to get the case in blue! It comes in a pretty box that I actually didn't want to throw away, but what's inside the box is even better!

The case comes in three other colors and I want those too! The shop as a whole has some unique, useful designs, so I'll definitely continue to order form them!

I ordered a couple of generally cute accessories to wear with my Casual coords, or other J-Fashion styles. These items were super affordable, and serve no specific purpose than to supplement my overall wardrobe. I'll probably wear this with my "normie" clothes too.
 |
| Earrings! |
Fmeng is a Gold Crown Taobao shop, so you don't have to worry at all when ordering from them. With such a high rating, I doubt any item in their shop is bad quality. Plus, everything I ordered was under $2, so you've got nothing to lose.

The fluffy items are great, and super soft. I worry about getting makeup on them, but there's nothing to prevent that. They're adorable though!

Another 8 out of 8! Wow, this order wasn't as bad as I thought. Check out Fmeng's giant catalog of #KawaiiAF goods with this

Expectation didn't meet reality for these tights, and I'm sad to say that, :/
Upon initial view, these tights are absolutely beautiful. The gold color of the snowflakes looks great against the light background of the tights. They also stretch well to fit my thighs.

| Snowflake tights |
The problem, however, is that the print is only on the front portion of the tights. It's almost like they got tired of painting the snowflakes on, so they gave up halfway. Granted, it will only look weird if someone takes a photo standing behind me, but it's still pretty bizarre given how intricate the print is.
I wouldn't recommend these tights for anyone taller or wider than me. They do fit, but they're not as stretchy as my Red Maria tights, or a few other brands. I have to say I'm a bit disappointed in this shop, so I can only give them a 4 out of 8. You can check out the shop
here.
My other, much larger Taobao order just came through customs, so that review is coming next, unless my Lens Village order gets here first. See y'all in a week!
Stay beautiful, stay true,
