✿ How to: Miyuukihime's Guide to Taobao ✿

Hello everybody!

So I thought today I'd do something different! I promised this year that I would get different content & even though it's been slow I'm getting there! 

If you have been in the J-fashion community for a while then you might be quite familiar with an online store called Taobao.







♡ Introduction to Taobao ♡


For those who aren't particularly sure of what it is, Taobao is an Chinese online store. Like eBay & Amazon, Taobao has many different sellers, all selling different products! You can get items such as clothes, accessories, jewellery, wigs, Cosplay, makeup & even electronics! They have so much variety, although I can't say whether the makeup & electronics are good quality, but that's where reviews come in handy! Replica's are also VERY common on taobao, so if you're not a fan of replicas then this sight may not be for you!

It may sound straight forward & you may actually be wondering as to why I'm telling you 'how' to order. Well in actual fact, people who don't live in China can't order as Taobao doesn't ship internationally & doesn't accept particular paying methods in which a lot of us would usually use ( like Paypal for example)!

So now you know a bit more information, I will get onto telling you how to actually order. 

Getting onto Taobao is pretty easy, you can just type in 'taobao' to your search engine & find it! ( or click the links I've provided above)!

♡ Kimchi Bambi Brown Review Sponsored by Uniqso ♡

Hello everyone!
My exams are finally over, so now I'm back to doing reviews & other posts!
Today I'm going to be reviewing a pair of lenses sent to me by the lovely Uniqso. If you've been familiar with my blog since the very beginning then you'll know that I've worked with them a couple of times & have never been disappointed!
Now for those who are not entirely sure as to what Uniqso is, it is a store which provides a wide variety of lenses, makeup & now supplies wigs!
They do lenses in all colours, sizes & brands & offer FREE SHIPPING!
As well as that they also have libraries to help you out about everything circle lenses & coloured lenses related!





The people at Uniqso let me choose out some lenses, so which did I choose?

♡ Shop Spotlight/Favourites: GFD Store ♡

Hello everyone! I hope you're all doing well!

I do apologize for being slack with blogposts, it's actually exam season & as well as that I have loads of Art Coursework to do! 

But today I have been able to take some time out of my day to do a blogpost on a store that I came across a few months back on Instagram.

Glitters for Dinners or GFDstore, is an online shop which is based in Melbourne, Australia. Now I'm not entirely sure as to whether the store is ran by several people or just one person, but the designs in the store are so beautiful & I know that each piece is handmade. 

The store isn't the cheapest BUT they do offer Free Shipping Worldwide which I'm always a fan of! 

So lets get onto my favourites!

♡  Cher Yellow Tartan Blazer & Skirt Set ♡ 

If you're a fan of 90's Chick Flick Clueless then you sure will love this! Inspired by Cher they have produced their own set for those who want to recreate the look!

This is by far my favourite piece! You can buy the blazer & skirt separately also!

♡ Spreepicky Review April 2014 ♡

Hello everyone! I hope you're all well!

It's been quite busy this week with reviews (☉‿☉✿) but I'm hoping to have a haul up & some other content up soon! 

So today I'm reviewing a store you may of come across on here before called Spreepicky. 

For those who aren't particularly sure of what Spreepicky;

Spreepicky is a shop ran on Storenvy which offers a wide variety of clothes, wigs & accessories! The store is actually ran by the same people who run Taobaospree ( which is a Taobao agent ) & the items which are featured on the Storenvy are the ones which seem to be the most popular amongst Taobaospree Customers. Most items I would say are aimed to those who are into Lolita, Fairy Kei etc. What is great about  Spreepicky is that pretty much all items have FREE Shipping for them!

Now this time from SpreePicky, I actually purchased something for myself & SpreePicky gave me a few gifts!

♡ Stock Photo ♡

So the item I bought was this 'BoBon21 Floral Suspender Dress', I saw this on someone else & immediately fell in love! I love floral prints and thought this would be perfect for Summer & Spring. Unfortunately this is sold out, but hopefully this review will give you an insight on the quality of BoBon21's products & SpreePicky's services! 

Now the dress itself was around $40.00 & came in only one size. 

♡ Cute Finds for Valentines Day ♡

Hello everyone - so today I thought I'd do a quick post of some cute Valentine's Day finds. These are for both Single people & people in Couples - so whether you're wanting to treat yourself or your partner is struggling to find something cute for you, then feel free to take a look at some 'Valentine's' themed/ Cute things I have chosen out for you! 

♡ Too Faced Chocolate Bar Natural Palette ♡
The first thing I actually found on Trisha Paytas' Youtube. I love the colours of the packaging & the pigments in this palette, not only that but I feel the theme of Chocolate relates to Valentines day ( you know 'cause you get Chocolate & stuff u /// u ). What I find amazing about this palette though is that it's made out of real Cocoa & smells like chocolate! You probably can find this from Too Faced sellers which are available near you or can post to your country - I'm definitely going to try & get hold of this!

♡ Kittywood Designs Review ♡

Hello everyone!

So today I'm going to be reviewing an store named Kittywood Designs.

Now Kittywood Designs is a store ran on Etsy & is owned by the lovely Kattie! Her products are extremely versatile, she makes Hair Accessories, Necklaces, Rings, Broaches & more - aimed at many audiences from Creepy Cute to Fairy Kei. I'd be surprised if you didn't find something you liked.

It was a while back that Kattie was looking for some people to review some of her products & as I have bee a fan for a while I instantly decided to email about it - so you probably can tell that by looking at this, I was chosen! I'm very grateful to work with such a perfect store!

So before I ramble even further I will actually begin the review!

♡ My Photos ♡

♡ So my parcel came like this & can we just talk about how cute the packaging is?! I've never seen someone use pink packaging but I was definitely excited over this! ♡
