L-email Wig Review

 I recently purchased an L-email wig from ebay seller sandylou2012, so here is my review for those interested in this wig!

• Shipping/ Service/ Packaging

I had no problem in this regard. I don't know exactly how long it took for my parcel to arrive, as I had it sent to my term-time adresse and arrived from home after it. I do know that it was well within the estimated time frame, and I did not wait long.
I didn't rely on their customer service, so I cannot vouch for it, but that fact alone is telling!

Packaging: well, the eveloppe was flimsy and not the bubble wrap kind I am used to; I easily ripped it open, but it was waterproof. The wig itelf was in an upright cardboard ring, with net, silk paper, and ziplock bag, so I would say it was sufficient.

• Product/ Price

 

Product: So here is the wig itself. The colors are true to the photos on the website, and I love them! Vanilla blonde, and bright pink! Thefiber is shiny, but very soft, and seems to hold quite well, better than I had imagined form reading other reviews. I have brushed it a few times, and nothing much came out of it. That is lucky though, because the wig is rather thin. Nothing unexpected, for the price, but you can see the concentric weams of the cap on the top of the head. Using a flesh-colored wig cap solves most of this problem. A bit of talcum powder should deal with the shine. Judging from the photos I have been able to take of the back of the wig, it is thick enough there not to show the cap.

Price: 23.25$, or 14.50£. This is really decent, considering the wig and that shipping was free. My Bodyline wig was about the same price, but I had additional customs and shipping, though it was thicker.

In the sun: not too shiny; what do you think?

 

 

Their was a free wig cap with it, the net-type, but I will be using my flesh-colored cap with this wig, as I have said.

• Conclusion

So satisfied? Definitely!!
I was looking for a wig that might look like my Princess Cadence wig, without the inconvenience of the dye rubbing out on my clothes. I fell in love with blonde haire, and this wig seemed perfect for it! It will definitely go into my everyday casual wear, as it is easy to wear, casual, and requires almost no styling at all.
One way to solve the thinness will also be to wear the wig clips from the Gothic Lolita split blonde/ pink wig I have oredered recently and that will match. That will be fun as well!





I'm also taking the opportunity to show off my new Swimmer bag! I bought it in Boddywood in Paris before leaving. And now that I moved to the South ofFrance, atht was probable the last time I will be visiting the shop as casually... One of the things I will miss in Paris! But it will be exciting discovering all the lolita suitbale spots in my new town and meeting the local community, I am sure!
 

 

Unfortunately I have to keep the load pretty light in this bag, or it won't last very long... But it's so very cute!! I love it <3

And to round off this post, here is the first coordinate uniting both these purchases!

 

 

Coscraft Wig Review

I recently ordered a new fashion wig, this time from Coscraft!

 I chose the light brown Cybele model, it really looked lovely for both lolita, hime, and mori.

• Shipping/ Service/ Packaging

Every time I receive a wig via mail, I cringe at the sight of the parcel. It is always so slim that it seems the wig will never be as full as the reference picture makes it look. However, once again I was (thankfully) mistaken, and the wig was merely very well wrapped. Inside its cardboard box, it was neatly folded into a ziplock bag, and kept from tangling by the net.

  Since Coscraft is based in England, the shipping rate was attractive (1£50) , and the speed as well. I needed this wig for the end of this week (surprise coming up!). I ordered Friday night, I believe, and it arrived this morning (because obviously the weekend was not working days).

I didn't have any reason to deal with service, so aside from the fact that it was quick and efficient, I can't judge much. That's enough for me to rate them 100% satisfying, though. Not having to deal with customer service means they were good right from the start!

• Product/ Price

When I slipped the wig from its bag, I was pleasantly surprised to see it unfold and fall to its full lenggth, approximately 90cm. The fibre is so gorgeous! It flows like water, is soft and smooth, and looks exactly like real hair! I quickly tried it on; the length matches that of my real hair, the waviness as well, and the shine. You wouldn't know I was wearing a wig if you saw me, you just might assume I had bleached my own hair! I tried flashing with my camera the wig, there is no obnoxious shine either.

Without flash

With flash. See the difference? No? Thats 'cuz there's none.

The price is also very competitive - 23£ (24£ on eBay) -  as my Bodyline wig was approxiamtely the same price, but had additional shipping fees, and though I love it very much and it is neat, the fibers aren't nearly as fine. Thinking of it, where is that wig? It somehow disappeared... Guess I'll have to look for it behind my wardrobe or something...* Edit: Still can't find it! Aargh ><*

Sorry for the unedited photos, I just wanted to get this review up and avoid procrastinating

I am so satisfied with this wig, and I am definitely going to purchase again from Coscraft. One thing though; I was careless about research, so I got mine from their eBay shop, which is slightly more expensive than their website, so I'll buy from them directly next time. I also noticed that Light in the Box sells wigs using the same reference photo, so I don't know what the deal is there, maybe someone investigated already... In any case, I recommend going for Coscraft rather than LitB.

I just mentioned a little surprise coming up; wait for it! I'm really looking forward to it on Friday and Sunday, and I'll make sure to keep you updated about it!
