Okay, sorry for the delay, this is the second and last group of reviews. This time I'll be reviewing everything else I've bought online so this will be pretty random. I decided not to add my own photos on all of the items because I don't think it's as relevant as in the wigs and because everything was the same as the photo, so, sometimes you'll only have the regular photo from the shop. But if you want to see a photo of anything, just comment asking and I'll find/take one.
Like last time, unless stated I don't remember the exact shipping time but nothing ever took more than 30 days.

I bought this little pendant to make the soul gem for Madoka and it worked great i567.photobucket.com/albums/ss… (on the photo on the right I had already painted it but you get the idea). It was made of metal and stone; although that's not surprising I think it's worth noting since it could have a cheap plastic frame for the stone, but instead it's a pretty nice and elegant metal frame. Also, after wearing it for a whole day I was happy to realize it didn't stain my skin, like some cheap jewelry does.
I think it was a bit lighter than the photo but I was going to paint it over so it didn't matter.

Here I bought a tube of glue for fake eyelashes, recommended by another cosplayer  i567.photobucket.com/albums/ss… .  It was a bit expensive, but not as much as the eyelash glue available at Claires and other make up places and it works really well. I paid shipping but it was delivered to me in person and I had to sign for it, which I suppose means it was treated better than my usual mail.

Overall quality: Okay

In this store I bought a black suspenders for Miku and two spiky headbands, one for myself and another for a schoolmate that fancied mine and ask me to order one for her. i567.photobucket.com/albums/ss… and i567.photobucket.com/albums/ss…
The suspenders were exactly what I wanted.
The first headband didn't ship for a week so I asked the seller about it and turns out they had run out of stock. They asked if I wanted to wait for them to re-stock (I suppose they were going to offer a refund if I didn't) and since I wasn't in a hurry, I accepted; it did ship a few days after this, arriving a week later. The headband itself is great and I wear it a lot.
The second headband shipped the day after I made my order and it arrived 3 weeks later, it had this bits of glue in the ends that I removed easily.

I just bought a hair tie with a little skull, seen here i567.photobucket.com/albums/ss…  with my pajamas cuz pajamas are cool. Everything was fine and the rubber band turned out to be a bit thicker than the photo, which I thought was good, since the rubber band on the photo looks rather weak.

Overall quality: Awesome

I bought this cat bag i567.photobucket.com/albums/ss… here during a sale and I could not be more pleased.
It's pretty big, so my stuff for school fits inside easily and it's, of course, really really cute. The shipping only took 4 days and it came with a really sweet note thanking me for the sale and two little candies, which, after much deliberation (because candy from strangers on the other side of the world), I decided to eat and were actually pretty nice.
They also have a similar bear bag which I intend to buy when I get back to school.


keyzone - myworld.ebay.com/keyzone

Overall quality: Okay

I bought black socks with bones here i567.photobucket.com/albums/ss… . They are really cool but despite saying in the description it's for people from 1.45m - 1.75m and S-M, the kneecaps printed go slightly under mine and the socks feel like they wouldn't fit a size over mine (and I'm only 1,52m). The bones were printed over the socks instead of on them (I hope that makes sense? The kind of printing you can scratch off if you're enthusiastic enough instead of the print that's part of the fabric itself) and while that wasn't really a surprise, together with the weird size makes an Okay.

Bodyline - www.bodyline.co.jp/bodyline/to…

Overall quality: Okay

Bodyline is complicated, basically the products are good but the costumer service is non-existent. I'll elaborate.
I have bought several times from Bodyline. I have these shoes in blue and red www.bodyline.co.jp/bodyline/sh… , these sneakers in blue www.bodyline.co.jp/bodyline/sh… , this uniform www.bodyline.co.jp/bodyline/sh…  and this www.bodyline.co.jp/bodyline/sh…, this skirt www.bodyline.co.jp/bodyline/sh…  and got this shoes in black for a friend www.bodyline.co.jp/bodyline/sh… . Everything was pretty nice and I'm under the impression some things actually look better in person.  The Air shipping takes a week to get to me, except during Christmas holidays, when it usually takes two.
The shoes are cute but get scratched really easily, like the first time I wore them. The inside sole is actually bigger than the outside sole, so your shoes look like flats while your legs look like you're wearing small heels.
I bought the sneakers a size bigger than mine because I wanted to see if that would still work (because all their cool shoes start at that size and I wanted cool shoes ;_ and because they were only  4 dollars. It didn't work so I never wore them but they seem your usual fabric sneakers.
The first uniform was for Konata. It's made in a comfortable, opaque material and, tiny surprise, it has a pocket. Although the sizes on the site are right, the shirt part is proportionally a bit too big for the skirt and the design is not accurate, but both things where easily solved and it's pretty cheap too.
The second is your standard sailor school uniform, which I found to be a particularly good investment. It's made in the same material, except for the bow, that was satin like the photo and that I planned to replace from the beginning. This one also has a pocket and an slightly oversized top half.
Lastly, the skirt is nice too, it's has a better fabric than the uniforms, soft lace and goes to my knees. I think it's missing a ponpon but to be honest it has a lot of ponpons.
So I'm pretty happy about the things I got and this is pretty much the only place where I can get proper shoes for myself. And so I was planning to order a bunch of stuff this Christmas together with a friend because they always offered the option of marking down the price on the package UNTIL NOW when they randomly took it down, even though it still says they are offering it in their website. So I e-mailed them to ask about it and you know what they answered? Nothing, because they didn't answer me. So I got pissed off and took my money somewhere else.
But I don't state that their customer service is terrible over my own experiment but over many reviews all over the internet and the statements on their own site: if the package is lost , too bad for you; if something is broken or the wrong color/size, we won't do anything about it.
On a last note about Bodyline, there are two contests on their website, one for clothes design and the other for modeling. DO NOT FOR THE LOVE OF GOD ENTER EITHER; they are both scams, in the first they have used designs without crediting the author(s) or giving them the prizes promised in the contest and in the second, several girls that won (since it's supposedly, one per month) reported somewhat shady contracts, and one even reported being harassed by the owner. Besides that, it is basically a contest in which you win the chance of traveling to another country to work for free.
So yeah, the things on Bodyline are great but avoid the people.

So that was it, I hoped you enjoyed my reviews

Yes, since a lot of people seemed excited about this idea, I'm gonna do reviews
I split them in 2 journals, one just for wigs and one for everything else and I'll try to update them as I get more stuff. I'll use links for the photos because my pm is almost over and it will be a long time until I can get one again x)
I only ever bought wigs on ebay, so all these stores are from there. Also, because some were bought a while ago, unless stated I don't remember the exact shipping time but nothing ever took more than 30 days.
On a related note, stores with their own wig stand/mannequin usually are pretty good. I don't know why, they just are.

I bought a wig for Kagamine Rin here. It's no longer available but it was pretty much the wig in the photo in blonde.
Everything went smoothly and the wig I got was like the description, super soft and I suspect heat resistant, I bought it in the end of 2011 and it still holds its original style. I'm thinking of buying a longer wig from them soon.
This store is usually a bit pricey (for me, because in super cheap xD) but it makes great discounts during Christmas.


cosplaydna myworld.ebay.com/cosplaydna/ and cosplayanimewigs myworld.ebay.com/cosplayanimew… (sister stores)

Overall quality: Okay

In case you're wondering sisters stores are stores owned by the same person/company. I actually only ordered from cosplaydna but since the products are the same I decided to put the other one there too.
So, I bought 2 wigs from them, this i567.photobucket.com/albums/ss… and then i567.photobucket.com/albums/ss… .
The black one was great, super soft, to this day it refuses to get tangled. BUT THEN I bought the blue one and it tangles pretty easily so I was disappointed.


cosplay-angella1024 myworld.ebay.com/cosplay-angel…

Overall quality: Great

I got i567.photobucket.com/albums/ss… for Taiga and it's really good: goes all the way down to my knees, it's soft and pretty easy to maintain as far as curly wigs go. When it arrived it was noticeable that it had some product to hold its shape but I didn't mind and after I washed it, it kept the shape.


cosplaywig myworld.ebay.com/cosplaywig?_t…

Overall quality: Awesome

I bought i567.photobucket.com/albums/ss… for Madoka, because at the time all the good pink short ponytail wigs where more expensive (because they were popular). I now kinda regret buying such a good wig to wear so rarely. The wig is super soft and heat resistant, if I had the money I'd buy from them a lot more.


wigfashion myworld.ebay.com/wigfashion/ , wigfever myworld.ebay.com/wigfever/ and wigglamour myworld.ebay.com/wigglamour/ (yes, sister stores)

Overall quality: Great

Okay, I bought my Miku wig i567.photobucket.com/albums/ss… from them a looong time ago, when they still used their own photos. It's an awesome wig, super soft and refuses to tangle; it seems to change color depending on the camera that's photographing it but the photo in the store shows its true color. I much regret not having bought their Stocking wig, because it's gorgeous.
That's THEIR mannequin, by the way. With time, buying from these stores has become more complicated since they don't post their own photos, we can't know what we're actually buying. But there's some tricks, like, if the wig you want is shown on the mannequin above, this one i567.photobucket.com/albums/ss… or i567.photobucket.com/albums/ss… , then that's the real thing. If it's not, you can also ask for another photo of it, saying you want to see how it looks from behind or something of the sort and hope they send you a photo on the mannequin, since they always take photos of the wigs all sides. Or, if you're tired of this bullshit you can always ask for a photo on the mannequin xD I never tried but maybe they'll agree.
Though if you're looking for their other items, don't bother. They're re-selling from taobao and sometimes Bodyline and it's cheaper to just buy from the source.


rwrong8899 myworld.ebay.com/rwrong8899/

Overall quality: Sad

After my Sakura wig mysteriously left me, I recently had to buy a new one and I ordered this i567.photobucket.com/albums/ss… but what I got was this i567.photobucket.com/albums/ss… .
The seller offered immediately 2 options of refund: send the wig back paying for shipping (like many other stores do) or get 50% refund and keep the wig. I decided to get the 50% refund because the wig is pretty soft and maybe I can use or sell it.
The seller rounded up my refund for a bit more than half so that was cool and communication was good and fast, but it was an unnecessary hassle and I still ended up having to buy another wig, with the chance of it not arriving in time for the event I'm attending.

And thus concludes my wig reviews. The other wigs I own were from stores that already closed sooo I can't review them.
I hope this is useful to you, please comment if you have any questions or spot a mistake
