1 Up Box is a monthly subscription box that send you various geeky goodies every month! It's about $20 a month so if you're interested in signing up click here. This month's theme was Versus! These were one of my more favorite items that came in this months box. I really like magnets considering I post up a lot of stuff (notes, calendars, etc) on the fridge. At the time of opening the box I was fairly exhausted, so it just occurred to me that this is a Red vs Blue reference (herp derp)!!! Which is why it quickly became one of my favorites from this month's box. Trinity pin! I have yet to see the Batman vs Superman movie but the pin design/logo is fairly cool. To be honest though, it wasn't a movie I was super interested in seeing asap--eventually I'll see it. I don't get the reference for these sticky notes if there is one, but the design overall is pretty cute. I like stick notes (I leave a lot of reminders for myself that way) so these come in handy. The pin for this month is pretty cute! It's probably my second favorite (after the mew). I'm not really into Ninja Turtles but I love stuffed animals. I plan to give this to my friend's son or younger cousin though. That's a great plus to this box! It makes for great smaller gifts and trinkets you can always give to friends or family, especially when it's something they enjoy more than you. These are another favorite item from this month's box. I love shoes and fun shoes so I'm excited to fine a pair of shoes to lace up with these! I absolutely love the design and color scheme. Once again, another pretty awesome shirt from 1 Up Box! I always love their shirts, they're made from such comfortable materials and so well. They fit super well too. Although the topic for the shirt isn't something I'm super big on, it's still a nice design.
This months box wasn't my favorite but I did enjoy quite a few items. There wasn't anything I super loved as much as some items I got in my other boxes though. But that's the risk with these boxes! The theme may not always be your forte. It's still a fun surprise and I did get some items from fandoms I really do love. This month's box would be great for anyone really excited for the new Batman vs Superman movie. ~Positive Outcomes Only~

Received my first 1 Up Box! 1 Up Box is a monthly subscription box that send you various geeky goodies every month! It's about $20 a month so if you're interested in signing up click here. This month's theme was Legends! I received this can cooler and/or coffee warmer? I'm not sure what these are called but it helps insulate your drink! I didn't notice in my video that it was a Hercules reference because I derped. I think this is pretty cute. I am a bit worried that drinks may not sit up right or risk tipping over in it until it's more broken in, though. This is super adorable. It's a cute little chibi vinyl of Dead Pool. I didn't even know this was a series but now that I do I'm definitely going to have to look into collecting more. I don't have anything that I put patches on but I love the Legend of Zelda series. I'm definitely going to have to find something to put patches on now. I didn't really have use for any of these things really but it was something small, simple and cute to receive in the box. I really like the decal sticker--I know I'll find use for that. This was one of my favorite things to receive. Definitely giving it to my Valentine. I like how adorable the art is and the quote is. I'm going to have to start finding a place to put buttons! I really love this month's button. It's so cute. This is another one of my favorite things I received in the box. This was, of course, the best thing in the box. I am in love with the shirt. I love the art work and the fact they champions are all pugs. I also love League of Legends so I was so excited to receive a product relevant to them. The shirt also fits great! I marked my shirt size as a woman's small. ~Positive Outcomes Only~
Dark Silver Body Chain ❤❤❤❤❤ It's a pretty simple but still really cute body chain. it fits nicely and gives any outfit a little something extra. The small string of rhinestones definitely adds to the chain and makes it much nicer and "fancy" in appearance. Harley Quinn Figure ❤❤❤❤❤ Harley Quinn is one of my favorite characters and I'd been wanting to start collecting figures so it was awesome to receive this from my Reddit secret Santa. She came with quite a few changeable parts (such as props and hands) which was pretty awesome. The figure it pose-able and well made too! Geometric Crop Top - Pacsun -$17 ❤❤❤❤♡ The shirt is made super well and from nice materials. It also fits great and I love that it's a longer cut while still being semi-cropped. I do feel it has a bit too boxy of a shape too it, so the shape I don't enjoy as much. other than that it's a really cute piece that's pretty simple so it definitely goes with almost anything in my wardrobe. It gives an outfit a little something extra that a plain black crop top or tee just wouldn't. Grumpy Cat Puzzle ❤❤❤❤❤ This puzzle was a pretty fun way to spend extra time and just relax doing. It wasn't too challenging to complete at all, though. So if you're looking for something more difficult, this wouldn't be it. Camera Book ❤❤❤❤❤ This was such an interesting gift to receive from my Reddit secret Santa. It's a super interesting concept but I haven't gotten a chance to use it yet. I'm a bit intimidated about switching the photo sheets and needing to be in total darkenss--because I don't really have a room that never gets some sort of light in it. I'll have to figure something out soon though because I'm still excited to use this! Hello Kitty Spatula ❤❤❤❤❤ This is super cute and I want all of my kitchen appliances and tools to be Hello Kitty someday! It works just like any other silicone spatula would and just adds such a cute touch to any kitchen. 12 Piece Eyshadow ❤❤❤♡♡ The colors in this palette are super pretty and are the colors I prefer wearing. I apologize I forgot to snap a picture of it open but I show it in the video above. Unfortunately, the eyeshadows are as pigmented as others I owned and take a couple of layers to get the true color to show up. FMA DVD Set ❤❤❤❤❤ Fullmetal Alchemist is my favorite anime so I was so excited to receive the first part of the dvd box set. The box cover art is so well done, and pretty cool even with it's simplicity. Knitted Boots - QVC ❤❤❤❤❤ These are great for wearing around the house. I love how cute they look and how comfortable they are. they're very warm as well so they're perfect for walking around in during the winter. I would not wear them outside though, they're just not really made for that and soak up any dampness or dirt really quickly. Lauren Conrad Lace Crop Top ❤❤❤❤❤ This top is just so incredibly gorgeous. And while I called it a crop top, like the other crop top I received, it's on the longer side and not actually all that cropped. It'd make a great top for a professional environment when paired with high wasted bottoms. Mermaid Corset - Hot Topic - $34 ❤❤❤❤❤ I love this corset. It's pretty sturdy and made from thick sturdy fabric. I love the design of it and think it'll be perfect for cosplay! High Wasted Floral Shorts - Pacsun - $30 ❤❤❤❤❤ These fit so well and are super comfortable to wear. I love the cut and the fact that they're a bit higher wasted. I can't wait to wear these when it warms up for the summer. Harley Quinn Muscle Tee - Hot Topic ❤❤❤❤❤ I love this style of shirt and the fact that it's Harley Quinn related makes it so much better. This is definitely going to become one of my favorite and most worn shirts. It's super comfortable too! Summer Halter Top - Pacsun - $20ish ❤❤❤❤❤ I'm excited to wear this for the summer. I think this will make a great top to wear to the beach, especially over a swim suit but it's also perfect for any bohemian themed outfits. Singer ProFinish - eBay - $200 ❤❤❤❤❤ I've been wanting a serger for a long time to help finish my garments and costumes, as well as aid in sewing stretch fabrics. I have yet to learn how to work it yet, but I will be looking into that (reading and watching all the instruction manuals and tutorials it came with) real soon! Espon Printer - Best Buy - $50 ❤❤❤❤♡ I really like how compact this printer is and that fact that it has a scanner too! My last printer was nice and compact and printed photos beautiful but lacked a scanner part. This one prints really well, but I will say that my old printer (Cannon Jet Ink printer of some sort) printed photos much better--the quality can't compare and I would still use the Cannon Jet Ink printer for photos if it still worked. Other than that comparison it does do it's job and the photos it print are in no way poor quality or bad, in fact they're really great. The price for it's ink is fairly decent as well. Purple Lace Dress - Wet Seal - $20 ❤❤❤❤❤ I love this dress so much. I like that it has just a sheer lace for the sleeves and the low back. The cut, style and silhouette is so beautiful and the dress just looks so elegant. I also really love the deep purple color it came in. It's very well made and fits like a glove. ~Positive Outcomes Only~
Black & White Skirt - $6.76 The original brand is Charlotte Russe. The site listed it in good condition and I agree. It was basically like new. I saw nothing to say it had even been worn before. This is a size S and it fits great! Tiger Sequins Top - $5.02 The original brand is Forever 21. The site listed it in good condition and I agree. The only thing I was disappointed with is it appeared to be shorter in length, more crop top-looking, than it actually was. This is a size M and it fits well. Holographic Top - $3.01 The original brand is MOA. The site listed it in good condition and I agree. It appeared to be a crop top in the photo but turned out to be the length of a normal tee. It is an easy fix and still looks good with a skater skirt, so it's not much of a disappointment. It also had a pattern that couldn't be seen in the photo but still looks how I wanted and looks just as holographic in person. This is a size M and fits amazingly! Black Crop Top - $6.79 The original brand is Soprano.The site listed it in good condition and I agree. It's exactly what I wanted! It appeared to be a crop top and was. The texture of the fabric is just like how it appeared in photos. This is a size XS and it fits perfectly! Pink Skater Skirt - $7.50 The orginal brand is H&M. The site listed it in good condition and I agree. The skirt is much brighter in person that it appeared in the photos, but that's okay. I enjoy the bright neon pop it has. This is a size M and it fits great. Knitted Sweater - $8.92 The original brand is Banana Republic. The site listed it as having a bit of wear but it's still pretty good. The only real wear to it is the fuzzies sweaters get over time, but none of the knitting was torn or worn down. The color also appeared to be black in the photos but is actually navy blue in person, so that's a little bit disappointing. This is a size M and it fits well. Lace Tank Top - $7.12 The original brand is Papaya. The site listed it as good condition and I agree. It's exactly what I expected and I'm super happy with it. This is a size S and it fits great. Silk Patterned Top - $10.80 The original brand is Worthington. The site listed it as good condition and I agree. I'm pretty sure it's never been worn before. This is a size M and it fits well.

~Positive outcomes only! :) Toast Earrings ~ SF Anime Convention ~ $5 ❤❤❤❤❤ I didn't catch the name of the shop that sold these. The earrings are super adorable and well-made. They're such a unique design and the hooks aren't irritating to my ears at all. They're not heavy either and feel very light when worn. Silver Creepers ~ eBay ~ $34ish ❤❤❤❤❤ Bought these in the Silver Holographic color. They fit very well and are comfortable to wear. They're well made and sturdy but can get scuffed a bit easily. They're so cute and a great statement piece. By far, one of my favorite pairs of shoes. I'm in loved with creepers to start with, and the holographic design of these is just to die for. Silver Skater Skirt ~ eBay ~ $9 ❤❤❤❤❤ Love this skirt. It fits well, but does not give much leeway--it does have a bit of stretch but not much. There is no elastic in the waist band and the band isn't made of very stretch material. I'd say it's probably only fit XS-M comfortably. The fabric is great and it's such a stand out piece. It's very well made too. Yuno Gasai Shirt ~ Happy Monday ~ $20 ❤❤❤❤❤ In love with all their products. The fabric is great quality. The print on it is apart of the fabric and amazing quality as well. The entire product is just so sturdy and well made. The fit is great as well. Vogue Beanie ~ eBay ~ $3 ❤❤❤❤❤ In love with this beanie. It's great quality, comfortable and fits great. I ordered it in the Vogue style. Cute But Psycho Shirt ~ Happy Monday ~ $18 ❤❤❤❤❤ Once again, in love with their products. The shirt fits great and is amazing quality. I love the style of all their clothing. It's very comfortable to wear and sturdy. Shego Cosplay ~ Erza Winters ~ $60 ❤❤❤❤❤ Love this cosplay. It's so well sewn and fits great. And for being worn/used before it's in amazing shape! I'm so excited to style a wig and get photos of this. She was one of my favorite cartoon characters growing up. Macaroon cases ~ eBay ~ $1 each ❤❤❤❤❤ These are so adorable. They're soft silicone cases. They can't fit much but they're great for small necklaces and rings, or earrings. They come in so many fun colors too! Pony Earrings ~ Happy Monday ~ Free ❤❤❤❤❤ I got these as a free gift when I purchased 2 (one $20 and one $30) items from them. They're super adorable and I was surprised to receive them. I'm totally in love with these, they're just so cute. They look like they're inspired by the older style of My Little Pony. FMA Ring ~ eBay ~ $1.66 ❤❤❤❤❤ I bought this in the style D. I'm so happy with this order. Unlike the last one, this one's design wasn't messed up. It looks exactly like the picture and the adjustable band makes it fit perfectly. FMA is my favorite anime, so I'm super happy with this purchase. Nail Polish ~ Daiso ~ $1.50 each ❤❤❤❤❤ I always love the Kleancolor nail polish from Daiso. They're always vibrant and go on smoothly. They also last quite some time before any clipping or peeling occurs. They're a great product for such a low price. Funko Pop Figures Sylvanas ~ eBay ~ $11.19 Mad Moxxi ~ Game Stop ~ $10.99 Harley Quinn ~ Hot Topic ~ $10 ❤❤❤❤❤ Always will love the Funko Pop figures. They always look super cute and are well made. The packaging is wonderful too and so well designed. Junko Mizuno Books Cinderalla ~ Amazon ~ $13 Princess Mermaid ~ Amazon ~ $14 ❤❤❤❤♡ The listings are current ones I found, looking around on Amazon though I was able to get "Cinderalla" for $7 and "Princess Mermaid" for $8. I absolutely adore her artwork and the stories are so cute. The only reason I have these 4 hearts out of 5 is because sometimes the flow of the story feels a bit odd. But everything else about it is adorably creepy. Watermelon Chapsticks ~ Walgreens ~ $3ish ❤❤❤♡♡ The smell is amazing. Absolutely love that about the product. I am a bit sad that it doesn't feel as moisturizing as some other products I've used and I feel the need to use it more often, as well. The shape is adorable though. Silver & Gold Eyeliner ~ Daiso ~ $1.50 each ❤❤❤❤❤ Love these. They don't just add a line of clear product with some speckles of glitter. They add a line of color as well as the glitter, so it's very vivid and bold. They go on smoothly and seem to last long. Matte Lip-stain ~ eBay ~ $1.08 ❤❤❤❤❤ I got it in the color number #18. It's a great product. I love how even when layered on top of a glossy or shiny color, it still creates a matte look. I love to layer it on top of the purple NYX lipstick to create a Cashmere color. Hardcore Liquid Eyeliner ~ Daiso ~ $1.50 ❤❤❤❤❤ I really like how the brush for this is more stiff and not as flimsy as other. The product is nice as well. It dries fairly fast and is vivid in color (in other words it doesn't dry a faded black). Silver Mascara ~ Daiso ~ $1.50 ❤❤❤❤❤ This is such a fun product to have. It may not be for everyday wear but it can add a bold aspect to makeup looks. It lasts quite a while and actually comes out a nice, glittery, silver color. Brown Mascara ~ Daiso ~ $1.50 ❤❤❤❤♡ It's a bit difficult to transfer the product from the brush to the eyelashes. The color gives a nice natural look, though. Brown mascara can be handy for creating fake freckles too! I really like the mascara wand on this product as well (bristle wise), I just wish the brush was a bit more sturdy/stiff. Macaroon Necklace ~ Saphiraz Lil Jewels ~ $8 ❤❤❤❤❤ This is so adorable. The macaroons are so tiny and still so detailed. I'm in love with this piece and it gives such a cute touch to any outfit. Mint-ish Green Wig ~ eBay ~ $9ish ❤❤❤❤❤ I got this in the color Green. It's incredibly long and really nice quality. It has a bit of a shiny but nothing to drastic or bad. It fits great as well. I also love the color. Twinsies Lipstick ~ Daiso ~ $1.50 ❤❤♡♡♡ I like the color but it wasn't exactly what I was expecting. The product also doesn't go on very smoothly and feels a bit odd and dry when first applied. The color is really pretty and I like how it has two different colors in one stick so that it mixes to create a unique shade. NYX Lipstick ~ eBay ~ $5.40 ❤❤❤❤♡ It's a lot brighter than expected and doesn't have as much of a grey tone as it does on the stick. It is very creamy and easy to apply, though--the creaminess can sometimes be an unwanted thing though since you'll typically need a liner to make sure it doesn't run. It can also make the color spread unevenly sometimes, which isn't a big deal after you blot it. I do like the color though. It's a bit bright for my taste but I love the fact that it's an actual lavender color and for a decent price. It'll look great with pastel looks. It also looks great when mixed with other lip colors. Anime Eye Crop Top ~ eBay ~ $4.49 ❤❤❤❤❤ I got it the stle #12 Tear. Even though the material is a bit thin and not as thick or sturdy feeling as the Happy Monday crop tops, I'm completely happy with this. It's still well sewn, the print is a part of the fabric and well done. The fit is amazing. The stretcher, thinner fabric allows it to be more form fitting, which I love. Pixel Sailor Moon Crop Top ~ Happy Monday ~ $19.99 ❤❤❤❤❤ Like always, I'm in love with their products. They're well made, fit great and the print/style is perfect. I'm in love with all the fandom and anime/manga designs they have. Rei Crop Top ~ Happy Monday ~ $17.96 ❤❤❤❤❤ Once again, amazing quality. Don't want to keep repeating myself. I will mention I buy all my clothing in Small or Small/Medium. Sailor Moon Skirt ~ Happy Monday ~ $30 ❤❤❤❤♡ In love with the print, design, fabric. Everything's sturdy and well made. The design is amazing and flawless. The fit is pretty good, the band doesn't have as much stretch to it as I expected but it does have a zipper on the side. I'd also like it if it had a bit more fabric all together--so that the skirt was a little more bunched/ruffled and flowy looking. It is still very cute though. Mini Moon Skater Dress ~ eBay ~ $10.44 ❤❤❤❤❤ I bought it in the color Pink. The fit is great. The fabric is a bit thin but it does have quite a bit of stretch to it and is very comfortable to wear. I'm absolutely in love with the design. It's pretty well sewn, as well. Sweat Pea Body Spray ~ Bath & Body Works ~ $5ish ❤❤❤❤❤ A little goes a long way. It's lasting quite some time. I've used it quite often and it looks like hardly any product is gone. The smell is great as well! L'Oreal Strength Solution Spray ~ Walmart ~ $7 ❤❤❤♡♡ It seems to be doing what it's super to do. My hair feels a bit nicer after using and so far the condition of my hair is pretty good. It doesn't seem to have made too big of a difference though. L'Oreal Smoothing Creme ~ Walmart ~ $6 ❤❤❤❤♡ It certainly makes my hair feel smoother after using, as well as make it look sleeker and silky. I do have to use quite a bit of product though to do so. It also helps control the frizz and is usable even with non-straightened hair. L'Oreal Collection Exclusive Listick: Eva's Nude ~ Target ~ $6ish ❤❤❤❤❤ Love the color. The product feels and looks great. It's amazing color and goes on smoothly. It's a great nude shade for my skin tone and natural lip color. L'Oreal Lipliner: Timeless Coral ~ Target ~ $6 ❤❤❤❤❤ This goes great with the lipstick above. It's a great nude color to match both that and my skin tone/natural lip color. It goes on easily and last quite some time. Copics and Prismacolors ❤❤❤❤❤ I've purchased all these from various stores (such as Micheals, Flax, eBay) for various prices (usually between $5-8). In love with these markers. I see why they're professional markers. There's such a HUGE difference in quality between these and Crayola markers. Copics are even refillable (at least most are). The brush nibs are by far my favorite style of nibs too. I'm in love with these markers, they're so great for art pieces. Hardy Candy Concealer Palette ~ Walmart ~ $5 ❤❤❤❤❤ The colors do a great job at concealing, I mostly just use the yellow and green. The product doesn't take very much for good coverage and goes on smoothly. Totoro Phone Case ~ eBay ~ $5 ❤❤❤❤❤ I got this in the color grey. I love this case. It offers a bit of padding for most falls, keeping the phone safe (don't take my word that it always will--it's not an otterbox). It's a bit bulky so it may not always fit in a pocket, but it's just so cute. It's always a conversation piece too! Hard Candy Cosmetic Glitter ~ Walmart ~ $5 ❤❤❤❤❤ Can be applied easily and shows up pretty well. A little product goes a long way, so it'll last quite some time. But glitter is glitter, it's the herpes of the makeup world, so you'll be finding glitter specks everywhere for quite some time after using. Knit Designed Socks ~ Daiso ~ $1.50 each ❤❤❤❤❤ They're super cute, comfortable and well made. They don't have too much stretch but fit great for smaller feet like mine. They're breathable too and nice to wear during the summer. They also looks super cute with pastel outfits. Sailor Moon Selfie Stick ~ eBay ~ $12.69 ❤❤❤❤❤ I got it in the style Moon. It's super adorable and easy to use. It also, really does, make for some great selfie-taking. I am just in love with the fact that it's Sailor Moon. Pink Wig ~ eBay ~ $7.50 ❤❤❤❤❤ I got it in the color Rose-Red. It was originally super long before styling. It styled fairly easily too. It does have a bit of shine to it though. The color is perfect for the character and it's comfortable to wear. It fits nicely, as well. It's also really thick. ❤❤❤❤♡ Dickinson's Cleansing Cloths They work really well. They easily remove my makeup and doesn't irritate my skin. The only thing I dislike about this product is the scent. That's a matter of opinion though, so you may not mind or even like it. I'm also sure it comes in different scents. The product itself is pretty great. ❤❤❤❤❤ Sinful Colors Professional Polish I love this brand of nail polish. The colors are always so vivid and it lasts so long (even through so wear and tear). It takes quite a bit before it starts chipping when applied correctly. This specific color is just lovely! ❤❤❤❤❤ Infusium 23 I'm in love with this product. I use it all the time. It makes my hair feel smoother and softer, as well as tames frizz. I use it whenever styling my hair and especially after using hot irons. It makes my hair much more sleeker looking. ❤❤❤❤♡ Vaseline Spray Moisturizer This is a great product. It goes on fairly easy. Feels really light on my skin while moisturizing it. It's not irritating, in fact it helps irritation, as well as dry skin. The only down side is when you have hardwood floors. I began spraying this on with a towel on the floor under me because since it's spray, there's excess that lands on the floor. With hardwood floors this causes it to be slippery and stay a bit slippery even after whipping it up. Other than that small, situation problem with an easy fix it's a great product and works amazingly. My skins always so much softer. ❤❤❤❤❤ Blue Diamond Almonds: Bold Sriracha I LOVE THESE. This is by far my favorite flavors. I've always loved Blue Diamond almonds and this flavor has topped all the rest. It's just the right kind of spicy. I swear I'm addicted now! Kitty Bank ~ Daiso ~ $1.50 ❤❤❤❤❤ Whenever I go to Daiso I almost always pick up a new piggy bank (as long as they have a new style available). This one is a cute little cat. The piggy bank is made of ceramic and fairly well made. Fabric Marker ~ Daiso ~ $1.50 ❤❤❤❤❤ This is a marker designed to trace and draw on patterns and markings on the backside of fabric. It shows up well on most colors (other than the same shade of pink as the marker). It's washable and will come off the fabric. I also don't have any struggle to get it to write on different fabrics. False Eye Lashes ~ Daiso ~ $1.50 ❤❤❤❤❤ These eyelashes are really long and look pretty natural as well! They're comfortable to wear too. I believe the brand is Beauty or just a Daiso store brand and the style number is W202. False Eyelashes ~ Daiso ~ $1.50 ❤❤❤❤❤ Another Daiso store brand. These are pretty long and fairly natural looking thanks to the criss-cross placement of the lashes. They're fairly comfortable to wear as well. False Eyelashes ~ Daiso ~ $1.50 ❤❤❤❤❤ These are my favorite lashes. The lashes are super long and pretty, and the half length makes them the most comfortable to wear and easy to put on. False Eyelashes ~ Daiso ~ $1.50 ❤❤❤❤❤ These aren't lashes I would wear daily, but they're great for cosplay! They're lashes for the the bottom lash line and I love the style of them. False Eyelashes ~ Daiso ~ $1.50 ❤❤❤❤❤ I love the dramatic look of these lashes. I like how toward the center the lashes are natural looking and towards the end they get more dramatic and fuller. False Eyelashes ~ Daiso ~ $1.50 ❤❤❤❤❤ I love how long these lashes are. They're super pretty and fairly comfortable to wear. Rose Box ~ Daiso ~ $1.50 ❤❤❤❤❤ It's just a cute little box I like to store some of my jewelry in. It adds such a cute and delicate quality to the area. Sewing Pins ~ Daiso ~ $1.50 ❤❤❤❤❤ I love these pins so much. Not only are they cute with the different colored diamonds as toppers, but the pins are sharp and go through fabric easily, without any struggle. Tracing Wheel ~ Daiso ~ $1.50 ❤❤❤❤❤ I haven't really gotten the chance to use this yet. I feel like this will come in hand with some fabric and patterns, as well as other art projects. Gold Lipstick ~ Daiso ~ $1.50 ❤❤❤❤❤❤ I love the Kleancolor brand of makeup, especially their lipstick. They're packaged so cutely and very vibrant in color. I plan to use this for some makeup tutorial ideas I have in mind. Marilyn Monroe Tank ~ Factory 2U ~ $10 ❤❤❤❤❤ This shirt is good quality. It's been through quite a few washes and the picture is still full on the shirt, as well as the rest of the shirt is still going strong. It didn't shrink either. It's comfortable to wear but is slightly sheer. Selfie Tee ~ Factory 2U ~ $10 ❤❤❤❤❤ This is one of my favorite shirt. I love the style of clothing this goes with. It's comfortable to wear. They print is still fully on the tee even after so many washes. White Sweater ~ Forever 21 ~ $11-14ish ❤❤❤♡♡ The quality is nice. There are a few loose "stitches/knitted pieces". I'd also like it if it was a bit longer. The fit overall is alright, though. The sweater itself is also fairly soft and comfortable to wear. White Knitted Tank Top ~ Forever 21 ~ $16 ❤❤❤❤♡ This is one of my favorite tops for summer. The straps were fairly long though so I had to tie them at the top, but it still looks cute when worn. It's good quality too and so far none of the knitted pieces have come loose or undone. San Francisco Tee ~ eBay ~ $6.33 ❤❤❤❤♡ I bought this in style #3. It's fairly comfortable to wear and fits well. I like the print and so far it hasn't faded. I really like the style of clothing is goes with. I haven't gotten the chance to wear this too much, with it being summer and all. Mind Over Matter Muscle Tee ~ Forever 21 ~ $10 ❤❤❤❤❤ This has been another favorite shirt of mine. I love the style and the fit, plus it's great for summer. I've worn it so often and even after so many washes the text is still fully there, not faded. It's great quality. Black & Grey Striped Sweater ~ Forever 21 ~ $15 ❤❤❤❤♡ It's a heavier sweater so I haven't worn it much. The quality is good and it's comfortable to wear. I would like it if it wear a bit longer. None of the knitted pieces have come loose or undone though. Cream Tank/Crop Top ~ Forever 21 ~ #13 ❤❤❤❤❤ The quality is great. The back design is really strappy, and one of my favorite parts of the shirt. And while it is a crop top, it's on the longer side--which I enjoy. I've worn it fairly often this summer. Army Jacket ~ Forever 21 ~ $30ish ❤❤❤❤♡ This is my favorite jacket. I've worn it out almost daily since it still gets a bit chilly here. But since it's on the lighter side it makes it great for the cooler summer days and fall! The quality is great although one pocket has begun to unthread a bit (due to weight ~ from my phone). Crystal ~ Paxton ~ $15 ❤❤❤❤❤ Love this crystal. It's fairly large but I think it'll look kinda cool on a necklace. It has a pretty "broken glass" look on the inside too. The cut is great as well. So as you'll notice down below, I have a new way of reviewing the products. It's like a star rating system but with hearts! E.L.F. Makeup Mist & Set ~ Kmart ~ $3.00 ❤❤❤❤❤ This does exactly what it says. When you first spray it on it feels hydrating and refreshing. Ever since using this product I've noticed my makeup stays looking how it did when I first applied it throughout the entire day! Usually, my foundation would begin to wear off and areas of my face that get sort of red sometimes (like around the nostrils) would show through, but with this it hasn't happened. Armor Ring ~ eBay ~ $1.31 ❤❤❤❤❤ I ordered this in the color silver. I love this ring sooo much and wear all the time. It has an adjustable ring band so it's able to fit me very well. I should note on fingers shorter than mine it may get a bit too long (with where the bands are positioned). Hand Harness Chain Bracelet ~ eBay ~ $0.79 ❤❤❤❤♡ I ordered this in the color silver. It's a very nice and simple piece of jewelry. The chain does feel like it could be a bit fragile, so I have to take extra care not to snag it on something. The wrist part of it isn't adjustable and made for smaller wrists, so anyone with larger wrists may need to use chain extenders. Stacking Midi-Rings ~ eBay ~ $0.99 ❤❤❤❤♡ Comes in a set of 3. I ordered this in the color Silver. The rings are nice and I love the look of them. They are adjustable which is a good thing, because they are very large for my fingers. I guess the downside would be with how much I have to tighten the rings the metal begins to over lap and it forms an awkward shape. Fake Nose Rings ~ eBay ~ $0.99 ❤❤❤❤❤ Comes in a set of 2. I ordered this in the color Pink. I love these so much. The price was great with it being 2 for a $1. They're available in so many different colors too! They're very easy to put on and take off and comfortable to wear. Black Ball Choker ~ eBay ~ $1ish ❤❤♡♡♡ The listing no longer exists. If you try searching for velvet chokers I'm sure you can find something similar though. When I received it, it was covered in some sort of dust but luckily could be cleaned off. The ball on it though had quite a few deep scratches. The choker, while adjustable, is still far too big for my neck and has to be safety pinned if I want it to fit well. Crystal Elf Ear-Ear Cuff ~ eBay ~ $1.58 ❤❤❤❤♡ The piece is lovely and one of my favorite pieces of jewelry. It's worn on the left ear which is perfect and what I was looking for since my bangs go to the right. The downside would be it is a fairly heavy piece of jewelry and the adjustable cuff part towards the top does feel like if it's adjusted too much or too often it will snap. Flat Top Makeup Brush ~ eBay ~ $1.86 ❤❤❤❤❤ The exact listing no longer exists (I purchased it for $1.50) but this is the same brush. There's many listings of this same brush so you may find one for cheaper. This brush is my absolute favorite. It's better and I love the results so much more than any of the other foundation brushes and beauty blender or sponges I've use. It makes my makeup smooth, blended and almost airbrushed looking. Contour Palette ~ eBay ~ $2.48 ❤❤❤❤❤ I've used this palette for quite some time. The old one lasted me a year or more and I used it quite often. Powder/packed contour is my preferred way to contour. While I own and like the cream contour palettes, I feel they give a heavier look while this gives a more subtle and natural look. Jinx Earrings ~Convention (Complexwish) ~ $10 ❤❤❤❤❤ These were one of my favorite purchases this month. The artwork is amazing and adorable. The League champion is one of my favorites! The earrings are reversible and sturdy. The seller also has such a large variety of characters and the artwork is just perfect! Gold Anklet Chain ~ eBay ~ $1.00 ❤❤❤❤♡ This piece is absolutely beautiful and perfect for summer or a trip to the beach. It can tangled or twisted often but is easily untangled. The chain is thin and feels fairly fragile, so I'll have to take care not to snag it on anything. Pink Bra Set ~ eBay ~ $5.43 ❤❤♡♡♡ I forgot to film this product for the video. I love the look of this lingerie set but unfortunately I got a fault-y piece. The seller refunded me the price of the bra (since the bottoms were fine). With the bra a strap was missing and it didn't even have the piece where the bra would hook (since these are removable bra straps). Also, even though it's in the correct sizing, the ruffles get stretched out and don't look as frilly or cute when worn. I love the color and everything but I unfortunately had many problems with the top. Rose Pattern Overalls ~ Kmart ~ $17 ❤❤❤❤♡ I finally picked up a pair of overalls. I love the style and pattern of these. The only thing I find myself slightly disliking in the short style/length, but even then it's nothing too bad or that can't be fixed. It's nice quality. Fake Leather Pants ~ Kmart ~ $12 ❤❤❤❤❤ I love these pants. They fit super well and have a great shape to them. They also have a slight stretch to them and are comfortable to wear. I originally picked them up to modify them for my Gamora cosplay but I found them so perfect for casual wear that I changed my mind. Plaid Sheer Sweater ~ Kmart ~ $6 ❤❤❤♡♡ It's a bit odd looking on the rack but looks much better when worn. Unfortunately the front is quite a bit shorter than the back, so I don't enjoy the cut/length very much. Other than that this top is really cute. Navy Blue Bow Tank ~ gift ❤❤❤❤❤ I love this top. It's so cute and perfect for summer. It's light weight and is made out of breathable fabric. Junko Hair Clips ~ eBay ~ $4.95 ❤❤❤❤❤ These are super perfect and great quality. They're easy to just clip into the wig/hair. They're also a reasonable price! :) Hot Pink Wig ~ eBay ~ $.99 ❤❤❤❤❤ I ordered it in the color Rose Red. It's very long and super soft. It's a thicker wig as well which is great! It's also the perfect color for my Annie cosplay. The listing shows something a bit brighter just due to lighting and computer differences, but the color was fairly similar (just not as bright/glowy! xD). _Navy Socks ~ eBay ~ $2.10 ❤❤❤❤❤ I ordered it in the color Navy. Nice quality and the perfect color for my Shiro cosplay! They're thinner fabric so they need to be handled with a bit more care. Shiro Cosplay ~ eBay ~ $27.99 ❤❤❤❤❤ I love this cosplay so much. The sizing listed was true to size. I ordered a size small. Everything is so incredibly well made and made from great quality fabric. It even came with a few pieces not noted in the listing which is great! It's also so comfortable to wear. I ordered a different pair of socks (just above this) for the cosplay, so I've been wearing the socks that came with these casually. They're such nice quality and fit well. Shiro Wig ~ eBay ~ $12.00 ❤❤❤❤❤ I recieved mine from an auction and got it for $12.00, so the listing I've linked is not exact and I'm sure you can search around for other auctions or listings to find different prices. This wig is incredibly long. It's not too thin but not super thick either, which is fine. It's coloring is great. It did not come styled if anyone's wondering, that is something I'll be doing myself. It's really nice quality too. Screw Driver ~ Savemart ~ $5ish ❤❤❤❤❤ It's a screw driver. Not sure what to say. It does what it's suppose to just fine. I do find it convenient that it has a place to hold the different piece around the end and am happy it came with so many different pieces. Xbox Controller ~ Amazon ~ (gift) ❤❤❤❤❤ Also not very sure what to say about this. It's a controller and it does it's job. It arrived nicely and so far I have found no faults with it. Star Lamp ~ eBay ~ $6.20 ❤❤❤♡♡ I have yet to finish putting this together. The instructions' pictures are more helpful than any of the writing considering it's in a different language xD. One piece is a bit off (not necessarily broken but not exactly how it should be), luckily it was able to be fixed with a bit of tape xD. The packaging was slightly weird and some of the pieces where lose/came lose when shipping (didn't leave the packaging, but wasn't in it's slot in the Styrofoam either). Positive outcomes only!~
I recieved the Temptations Snacky Mouse in a Voxbox from Influenster. It's a cat-food brand I believe. What I recieved was a pack of their snacks and the snacky mouse cat toy.
It's a really cute concept and think it'd be a fun way to give treats to cats who are often in playful moods. Unfortunately my cats are really lazy at the moment so they just wanted the treats without the hassle of batting around a toy. The treats are apparently super delicious though because they go crazy for them. We ended up buying several more bags from Kmart ($2-3 for small ones--which is the larger bag in this video-- and $4-5 for larger ones). Now every time my cats see the bag they run over and start meowing. They actually bit a whole in the bag I recieved from Influenster and ate it all over night! Heart & Spike Garter ~ eBay ~ $8.99 I forgot to include this in my video! Oops. I am obsessed with these though and want so many other type of, not only garters, but elastic and chain top and arm pieces, as well. The spikes are screw on so you do have to be cautious of them coming unscrewed and falling off (I've had it happened but luckily found the spike and made sure to tighten them all~they loosen up after a while though). Everything else about it seems fine and well made. It's adjustable not only because of the elastic in the back but because it's also an adjustable strap (meaning u can make the elastic band longer or shorter~think backpack straps). Pink Crystal - gift Got another crystal!! This one's from a friend. I love the way this one is wrapped and the style of string it came with. I most definitely need to pick up some more! Purple Lipstick ~ eBay ~ $2.48 This was color #3 on the exact listing. It's a very pigmented purple. I wish it would've been a darker purple but it's alright since it can be darkened up with an ombre effect (which I have a tutorial for on my YouTube channel). It seems to last for a decent amount of time, but like most, isn't immune to drinking and eating. 32 Piece Pink Makeup Brush Kit ~ eBay ~ $11.99 The kit is so pretty. All the brushes are well designed along with the packaging. The brushes themselves are soft and have little to no shedding. It comes with such a large variety of brushes too! They all work well. I am a little sad that it didn't come with a flat top brush but I was able to just pick up that specific brush individually. Pastry & Sweets Erasers ~ gift No idea where you find these (I believe I seen them in arts & craft isles at different stores like Target and Walmart). I prefer to use them for some cute little decorations rather than actual erasers. Backpack ~ eBay ~ $12.96 It looked slightly more pink in the original photos I saw but it's alright. I plan to make a cover for my Annie cosplay. Overall, the actual backpack itself is very well made, light and comfortable to carry and super cute. It's also quite spacious for being a smaller bag. White Tall Boots ~ eBay ~ $19.99 I bought these in a size 5. They are true to size and fit extremely well. They're also really well made and fairly comfortable to wear (for being heels). The heels aren't too tall or thin either for those who prefer shorter heels or wedges (making them easier to walk in and for longer, as well). Luna Tights ~ eBay ~ $4.74 I believe I forgot to show these in the video as well. I also can't find the exact listing on eBay but just search "Luna Tights". They're well made. The black color is actual fabric and not just painted on. The only "painted on" aspects are the facial details and it won't fade easily. They're fairly thick tights meaning they won't rip or tear easily either (but must still be treated with care, obviously). They're really well made and I'm extremely happy with them. Super cute and great for Sailor Moon fans! Tibbers ~ Riot Merch ~ $37 It's $30 and was $7 shipping. It arrived at a decent speed (I believe it ships from the United States). It's a decent size for the price and extremely well made and soft. Perfect for my upcoming Annie cosplay too! Strawberry Hair Rollers ~ eBay ~ $1.83 These are cute sponge hair rollers you use to curl your hair. You wrap your hair in them while it's wet then remove them once dry. They're sponge material so it's comfortable to sleep with them in. They're also easy to use. Sanrio Stationary ~ gift I love stationary. Especially cutesy one. I have a lot of Sanrio stationary so this fits right in! It's always super cute and makes for great letters (when you have reason to send them xD). The packaging for the stationary is adorable, as well. Pink Pigtail Wig ~ eBay ~ $10.50 I won my wig in an auction so the link is not exact. The wig is extremely nice. It's really thick and long and has little to no shedding. It's also very soft and comfortable to wear. Pink & Brown Wig ~ eBay ~ $12.50 I won this wig in an auction but it's easy to find if you just search brown and pink wig. The fringe does come at the length shown in the photo instead of the usually longer length to allow personal styling. It is also a bit on the thinner side but not so thin it's unusable (I just prefer really thick wigs). It has little to no shedding. Manga Studio Program ~ gift I have yet to really use this program so I can't give too much of a review on it. I do believe this is an older version. I can't give a cost or where to find it since it was a gift, but I'm sure through Google it'll be able to be found. Gesso ~ eBay ~ $6.44 I can't find the exact listing but I'm sure it can also be found at local craft stores for possibly cheaper. This stuff is great for covering props and smoothing out and seams or lines. Can be sanded and doesn't take too long to try. Heat Gun ~ Harbor Freight ~ $9 From the brand Drill Master. It was on sale for half off when I purchased it. It's just a basic heat gun and works great. Dremel 7300 ~ Walmart ~ $30ish Works great. It was the cheapest rotary tool they had. Very basic and came with 5 accessories. Can fit with any other Dremel accessories later if needed. Red Bodysuit ~ eBay ~ $14.37 Fits true to size. Doesn't have TOO much stretch but does have enough. It's very shiny. Seems to be pretty well made. |
