HimeCastle Review (Small Order)

Alrighty! To mend the gap between posts about Anime USA (I'm still waiting for pictures to be uploaded), I am going to do a review about my order from this new place called HimeCastle.com. I ordered from there about 3-4 weeks ago and decided to do a review about their products and services! I hope this helps!

First off, the website itself it very nice. At first, it was a little weird to navigate but they recently fixed it so now it's much simpler. They offer pre-orders on things, and when you shop they allow you to earn points on everything that you buy. You can use these Castle Points to do things like, upgrade you member level, or use it as credit on the site. Now I'm not too sure on how to do this but, I'm sure it would be cool if I could figure it out. :/

The buying process was pretty simple, it uses pay-pal and normal credit cards, but after that the wait was a bit annoying. Verses Rakuten, the shipping as a bit slow and I thought my entire order would get there at the same time, but it didn't. The circle lenses I ordered came first after 3 weeks, which was a shorter waiting time than what I have with Pinky Paradise. The next week my entire package came with the rest of my order.

My Order:

So since the circle lenses came first, I will start with them. I ordered a pair of I. Fairy Eclipse Series lenses in brown. Here are the lens specs.

* Brand: SUNBON Co.,LTD
* Material: Hema
* Origin: South Korea
* Water Content: 55%
* Diameter: 16.2mm
* Base Curve: 8.6mm
* Thickness: 0.04mm
* Life Span: 1 Year



First off when I got them, and first put them in, they were very comfortable. Barely noticed them in at all, which made me think I dropped them for a second. Lol. They are available in prescriptions, which is what I got since I can't see crap without glasses and they were perfect. I wore them for a total of 18 hours without them bothering me, even when I was in a club. Though my eyes are really dark and they don't show up too well, they do the job of circle lenses by making my eyes bigger, which is all I could really ask for.

Next I got two pairs of Dolly Wink lashes. I got No. 1 and No. 7. I've heard good things about these lashes from people so I wanted to try them out myself. I haven't actually gotten a chance to use them just yet, but they seem really well made and soft.

I also got myself a pair of Yumetenbo Princess Lace Flower Heels. Now I have bought at least 3 pairs of shoes from this same brand, all lovely, comfortable and exactly what I was looking for. They did not fail with these next pair of heels! They are absolutely lovely and fit perfectly, even though I got them a size smaller than I usually do. On Rakuten, most of the Yumetenbo shoes go up to an LL(8 to 8 1/2), but on HimeCastle, they only seem to go up to a L(7 1/2 to 8). They fit just fine, though I was a little worried when I didn't see my usual size.

Since I spent over $100, they offered free shipping, which was nice, even though the shipping in general is pretty cheap by itself. They also offer free gifts when you spend a certain amount, so I decided to get myself a cute little lens kit.

All in all, I give HimeCastle a 7 out of 10. I really wish the shipping process didn't take as long as it did, since I can just pay a few more bucks to Rakuten to get it here in 3 days. I do love the fact that they do have brands like Ma*rs and Liz Lisa available, as well as a lot of other really cute, lacy, and princessly things. The sizes are general and can fit most people, and payments were easy and fast. If they add more items, and work on the shipping times, I believe this website could be even better, if not the best! I will defiantly shop there again though!

Anime USA Part 1

So this weekend was the weekend that I went to Anime USA in DC. This year had to be the greatest year simply because of all the awesome randomness that went down all weekend!! OK~! Ready? Set! START! Let's go Anime USA!!

So we can started off with Friday~ I wore my Christmas Miku cosplay! Now I was super busy, so I never got a chance to get an actual picture of myself! The pictures aren't up yet from the folks who took pictures of me, so I will have a photo bomb post later on involving pictures of me! I know I only got a few, but hopefully I'll be able to find myself on the internet!

So after cosplaying most of the day, me and my buddy Keito got into our rave gear and went to go to the Mix Speaker's Inc. Q & A. Keito was pretty freaked out and so was I, because we both really love this band! So, finally after a few minutes of us just peeking into the doorway, we went in and enjoyed the panel. Right after was the autograph session! I was so nervous! I was finally going to meet my second favorite band of all time! I bought a photo set to get signed from their PV Sky Heaven, since Seek (My favorite member by the way) said his favorite costume was from!

So as I'm going down the line, getting the photo's signed by their respected member, I'm close to tears! Like literally! So when I finally reach Seek, who is last, I'm breathing pretty hard and he could tell I was about to cry! So he looks up at me and goes, "Please don't cry!" Then it starts! I told him I couldn't help it and he just smiled, drops his pen, grabs both my hands and holds them and looks at me and goes, "Oh no! Please don't cry!" And I freak out completely. I'm in tears by now and I have like five cameras in my face and Seek just chuckles and signs my photo before holding my hands again and kissing them. I almost fainted!!

So after that exciting moment, Keito convinced me to go to the Host Club they had. I said I would only go if she would pay for champange and she said sure. So, he requests a host that is a friend of hers and we're having a good time until he says, "Oh, how about a champagne call?" Keito freaks out and agrees so all the host come over and do a champagne call! I ran into about four hosts that I all knew and they jumped me, hugged me, and said we hadn't seen each other in a long time, which we hadn't! It was so fun because I met a really cute, new host named Sam and we had a drinking race and I beat him. So we got a $100 bottle of champagne after that for FREE!! It was a great time! I can't wait to experienced the host club again. It's so much better when you're good friends with most of the hosts because there's no pressure and no awkwardness, just friends catching up pretty much!!

So right after that, we invited the hosts to the rave with us and they agreed. So me and Keito went to the rave, all sauced up and happy and had an amazing time! I got to see my favorite DJ, Mighty Mike Saga, and he took my rave candy I made for him and even gave me a hug!! I was so pumped!!

So me and Keito danced the night away with hot host guys and then went back to our room, all excited and ready for Saturday! This is where I will end it, since I don't want to write a super long post about it! I will post up the second part ASAP!! For now, stay tuned because you won't believe what happens next!!

Preview: Contest winnings, Concerts, and Crotch Action~

Halloween~

Ok, so I know it's late but, I'm gonna post up something about my Halloween this year!

So I know a lot of gyaru call it 'Gal-loween' and what not, wanting to incorporate the gyaru life style and fashion into their costumes and stuff but I always take Halloween as dressing up as someone you're not! So this year I had two costumes since I threw two parties!

First I was Black Princess Peach! Unfortunately, I didn't have time to take a pic of my costume since I was running around trying to be a good hostess. @~@ But I did get a pic of my hubby and my best friend's costumes! There were Mario and Luigi!!

So next party I decided to make sure I took a photo of my costume since it was ON Halloween! I was a Genderbend of Hitman Reborn!'s Lambo!

I took a lot of pride in this costume since I made it myself! I was going to save for an upcoming convention, but I just couldn't wait~ I hope everyone liked it, I know my hubby did since Lambo is his favorite character!

So now more pictures from the parties and stuff! Oi this Halloween was nuts, but I hope to have more fun next year!!

P.S. Why does tinypic keep loading up my pictures sideways!!! D: Can someone please help me with this, it's annoying!
