lolita-kisama package

Alright, so I just received my lolita-kisama / visual-you package today and after all the eagerness and excitement of waiting for the package to arrive, I must say that I am rather sorely disappointed with my items. Particularly for the price that I paid for them.

Here’s the stuff I bought:

SUSHI ROLL BABY – Mens/Womans Shirt $16.50
Checker Punk Meow Mii Knit Hat $27.99
Punk Halffinger Gloves (Black-Gray) Wide Stripes for men $3.20 (I bought this just to increase the amount spent, so I could get the free items. After realising it still wouldn’t reach the cap, I decided to leave this in the cart because it looked cool and I might use it)
J Music Lover Button 1.5″ $2.50 (Ditto; as above)
FREE Welcome Gifts (First time order $30 or over only) $0.00
FREE Armwamers, Fleece Hat, Scarf or Purple Sky (order over $48) $0.00

Sub-Total: $50.19
United States Postal Service (First-Class Mail International Package (Varies) ): $13.65
Total: $63.84

I’ll start with the stuff I actually wanted. The shirt is cute and it fits well, but the material is such crap. It’s really rough to the touch, but maybe it’ll get softer once its washed. Even $3 shirts from a night market feel better than this $16.50 piece of crap. The gloves have really poor craftsmanship or something, like it was cut by a 3 year old with safety scissors and the extra thread wasn’t removed. They also seem a little small, and I’m only picking up on this because the gloves are named “for men”. I guess either men from the US have really small hands or mine are unusually big. They still fit me, just that I thought they’d be bigger considering they are for men. Now for the last item, and the item that made me even purchase from this shop. The checker punk meow mii knit hat. Oh boy, where do I start. The material is really crappy, like a rug. And it’s a little big. It’s kinda odd, like it’s too tall but the width is fine. I’ll probably still use it though. For what it’s worth, I must say that the j-music lover button is the best item out of all.

As for the free items, I got that checkered hat next to the other hat :3. It actually fits better than the $27.99 hat but other than that, I’ve got the same complaints about the material used. I chose cute style for the welcome gift, and got 2 items. The skull tie and red nail polish. I’m not exactly into ties, and I won’t be using it. But at least it’s made of proper tie material and the inner lining isn’t too shabby. Maybe I’m not exactly sure what cute style means, but, skulls and red nail polish don’t exactly shout “cute!” to me. I was expecting pink hello kitty clips or something.

Well that’s about all I’ve got to say. I definitely won’t be revisiting nor recommending this shop. Unless you care nothing for quality and are only interested in it for the appearance, and also have tons of money to spend on crap, go ahead. Otherwise, just no.  I am quite :( now.

EDIT : The nail polish I received is wonderful. It applies well and it has such an amazing color. It’s of the shiniest, darkest red. Good. :)
