Friday faves/fails: Amazon Prime Day

Okay so I personally feel like it's my duty as a complete and utter bitch when it comes to shopping, to inform you peeps of how I felt the overly anticipated, and over hyped, "Amazon Prime Day".

This was a complete let down for me. I'm usually bumming the shit out of Amazon but Wednesday's event made me really annoyed. There was fuck all on there that I would have bought and the deals weren't even that good. Definitely not like Black Friday, even I thought Amazons Black Friday thing was a load of shit. Sorry but that's what I think. 

I also feel sorry for anyone who has used the 30 day free trial. I've used it and it's not even all that either. Just think of a more glorified version of standard Amazon but you get £79 ripped from your hands for "great deals" and "unlimited fast delivery" which by the way only works with anything in the trusty Amazon sweatshop- I mean warehouse. PLEASE GO AND CHANGE YOUR PRIME SETTINGS IF YOU ARE LIKE ME AND DISAPPOINTED! You have to do this a few days before it needs to be renewed but to be safe I did mine as soon as the trial was activated. Amazon will not give you your money back and basically blame it on you for being an idiot.

All in all, I'm starting to hate both Amazon and eBay just as much as each other.

Midweek madness: heat waves and online store faves closing down

Okay, I just read something that I found sad.

My favouite wig store Geisha Wigs is closing down. I honestly have to say, this shop closing down will mean for both myself and other wig lovers and cosplayers out there, we will have to do a lot of guess work on eBay and Amazon now. I love this store because not only was the products of a great quality, it was good value for money. You wouldn't open up a package and be met with a thin or unwearable wig that shows the wig cap peeping through. You wouldn't have to guess if your wig is heat resistant or not. You wouldn't have to worry about bad customer service or being met with broken English (most sellers online shop from countries such as China).

Not only that but the owner is genuinely a lovely person, I've not met her in person but she damn seems it and honestly it's a shame but there are reasons behind these decisions. So you go and do you girl.

R.i.p geisha wigs, you shall be missed I hope for the very best for you Maria.

In other news....

I am burnt like a motherfucker. I swear I litterally get to a certain tan colour and my skin is like "nope". The heatwave is taking its toll on my skin despite using factor 20. Already my news feed is filling up with grumbling Brits not dealing with the heat too well. And honestly I don't blame them but there are ways to deal with the heat. So go figure it out!

But what I can't understand was a few days ago people were like, "oooh we're gonna get thunderstorms this week!". I would like to know where the hell are these thunderstorms we were supposed to have?? It's gonna get muggy soon and that means more people I will have to unfollow (lol).

Review: Sodial 20 pairs of eyelashes in styles 1 & 2

Okay, so I bought these monstrosities back in February. I just wanted some eyelashes that weren't too costly, I bought these because there was so many for a very low price. 



YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR! Cheap but not cheerful.

I paid £2.10 all in all, it came with free delivery so I thought I was winning. Upon opening them I noticed they are very thick and do not feel nice at all. The delivery took a very long time too, two weeks and a bit. So all that anticipation for nothing. (I feel like Amazon should show the sending address or country as I really cannot stand buying things from China.)

Also your supposed to get two different sizes but I must have drawn the short straw as I have two boxes of THE SAME style. Big, thick, black, rough and hard eyelashes. They actually resemble the sort of lashes you get in cheap baby dolls, the ones with them weird eyes that close when you lay them down.


Application is just non existent. I'm not even joking. Even after cutting to size they just will not stick to my lashline. And yes, I'm not the regular false eyelash user, but I have dabbled in it and other brands stick to my eyelashes easily. Maybe my eyelash/body adhesive glue is to blame here? I usually use the Revlon brand with the brush, my all time favourite product. Nope. Even waiting for the glue to dry to go "tacky" it didn't even stick.

Please ladies, drag queens, men, please do not buy these unless you are going to be sticking them into your body with super glue.
