Qutieland Review

yay! my order!

Heres my review for the taobao service Qutieland.


The product:
I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the product, they look nice and are pretty comfortable. there made of vinyl wich it says when your ordering, i was pleased by the quality of the soles though, there nice and thick and wont wear out quickly so the shoe should last a long time.

another thing i like was the snaps that fasen the straps to the shoe. so you dont have to undo the buckle everytime. though im worried that the snap will ruin the vinyl around it and break from use, but ill deal with it when it happens.

The bags are a pretty good quality, the seams seen sturdy and they look the same as the pictures, no complaints.   

4/5

Service/shipping:
My Qutieland order arrived about the 20th of July, while i was away so i couldn't review it until now but (in my opinion) it should have arrived much sooner. my payment was recieved by them on the 20th of May. After i paid it tuck apparently 10 days to "process my order" (where the confirmed the colour of one pair of shoes) and THEN another 25 working days (and a few more after that) before my order was shipped. it tuck about a week and a half for the package to arrive, wich is normal.

1/5

Packaging:
Everything arrived safe in a box no scuffs or scratches, the shoes were in shoe boxes inside the box and the bags were in plastic with tissue inside them to keep their shape. the outside box was pretty beat up, but thats probably the postal systems fault.

5/5


Overall:
I probably wont use their service again, nor will i recommend it unless your willing to wait a loooooong time to receive your order, or you cant get the product through another service similar to qutieland. I find it a needlessly long wait.

3/5

Jlist review

I recently did an order from jlist, a site that sells anime, games, food, cosplay, (prettymuch anything) from japan. 

Their shipping was pretty fast, i chose the option to ship in separate packages for faster shipping. i recieved 2 small boxes, one with a bento box, and the other with bath salt, egg shapers and that infamous socks glue.

The quality of the product is what i was expecting, the bento box seems sturdy enough to hold saucy food without it ending up everywhere, it looks exactly like the pictures on the site.

product:5/5

When my first package shipped the order tracker stopped at "printing shipping label" for nearly a week but they did email me apologizing saying when the first package was shipped (though i had already just assumed it had.) and the problem had been fixed. when the second package shipped i received the email right away. 

because they shipped it in 2 boxes at 2 different times i received 2 different invoices and my credit card was charged twice but that doesn't really bother me because i chose the option to ship separately.

notification 4.5/5

shipping 5/5

All the items i ordered came well packed in boxes and they shipped on time. overall i give jlist a 5/5.

everything was as described and does its job. i see nothing to complain about! 

Mintymix Wig Review

As I mentioned in my last post, I recently ordered a wig from Mintymix, heres the Review for it!

Besides the pink colour washing me out a little, I really like this wig! The fibers are soft and the wig itself if pretty thick. The wig is one of the wigs that are in stock at the moment (as i am too lazy to wait for the pre-order), I placed the order on a thursday night and received the tracking number the next day!

not to mention the packaging it came in was super cute and well done!

the wig itself: 5/5
really good quality for the price. The pink looks a little darker in the stock picture but its almost the same.

packaging: 4/5
I would have rather it been shipped in a solid box rather then a bubble envelope.

shipping: 5/5
super fast! I received the tracking number the next day.

overall: 4.5/5
I would defiantly recommend Mintymix!

RWB's Alice in Wonderland

As I mentioned a while ago I had tickets to the RWB this past wednesday. The ballet was very good! and surprisingly hi-tech.

The sets were simple but brilliant, to create a sense of a constantly shifting atmosphere they used a set of rectangle boxes that could be easily moved, and used various projections on them as well. We are used to a set backdrop and set scenes when we go to the ballet or theater and this was fun and refreshing!

My favorite scene was when Alice meets the duchess (who was played by a rather burly man), and they began to slow-motion wrestle. I loved the humor throughout the entire ballet, adding a bit of something you would see in Bugs Bunny into the mix, with "applause" and "help me" signs. The red queen (pictured above, with the mad hatter) was very demanding and full of life! actually using the megaphone on stage to shout various demands to the dancers and audience. The caterpillar piece was another of my favorites played by 3 people ( a women and 2 men) instead of one.

However the choreography was a bit on the simple side, opting for mimicking and repetition, rather then varied and complex movements.

Overall I would give it a 4 out of 5 because of the originality and interesting storytelling.

P.S. a great way to keep japan in your heart in your heart after this disaster is by donating. So much of our lives seem to revolve around things in japan and the culture there, so we should support them whatever way possible in their time of need.

you can pre-order this shirt from the salvation army to show your love (and donation) for japan.
