Ebay Buys of June ♡

This is the first in a long queue of hauls, sorry ! They've been things I've bought over my month hiatus, so I'm just catching up on them and then roll on the more interesting posts ~ bentos, reviews, comparisons, masks, etc.

After buying those white Hello Kitty frames at Otafest, I thought I'd prefer a black pair, so then commenced the search of finding nice frames with clear lenses. I can't find the item I originally bought, but these come pretty close in style and price. Mine cost about $1.50 with free shipping, a complete steal ! Plus they were in perfect condition when they arrived. I personally think they came in good time considering they were coming all the way from Asia, about 3 weeks tops.

I also purchased an eyeshadow quad from Dollywink. Bubbi from Bubzbeauty has used this one for years and I always thought it looked so cute, plus I loved the shades and the quality was meant to be very good too. I bought them from here. The sender was very speedy, maybe 2 weeks, and very nice condition of packaging (the product was new of course). I rarely buy eyeshadows so I allowed myself to splash out a bit with this one. 

All in all I had a great experience with my first time buying from Ebay, I will try not to get hooked but definitely will be checking out some more stuff. Always remember to stay safe by using well reviewed sellers, I used sellers that had 100% positive feedback, so just be careful while shopping online and have fun !

Otafest ♡

On the 18th of May I got to attend Calgary's Otafest celebration. I went back in 2009 and since haven't had a chance to go because I've been in the States during the time it's held, but I was home so I decided to check it out again. For those that don't know, Otafest is a big Anime convention that's held at the University of Calgary every year in May. There's usually a pretty large turnout, with many cosplayers and events. I mainly like to go to the vendors hall and watch the cosplay productions. This year I was only there for a couple of hours so I only got a chance to look at some cosplayers and shop, but it was still a really nice experience, I will definitely go for a whole day next time to get my money's worth ! I myself cosplayed as Rinoa Heartilly from FF8, I didn't take photos but I still have my outfit of course. 

So here's my loot !

A few years back I stumbled across a bento box blog that an Indonesian mother runs, and since then have been obsessed with looking at cute bentos, so sad huh ? I would look at bento boxes and bento recipes and bento accessories online for hours but never buy any ! Well I finally got my chance to purchase these two adorable bento boxes for my future children haha It will be a long time in the future but I couldn't resist !

I realised after buying these and coming home why these keychains looked familiar; I'd seen them on an online store recently, and for about half the price that I got them ~ arg ! But they are sweet right ?

Aren't those Hello Kitty slippers just the cutest ? I was so torn between this pair, or a pair of Rilakkuma ones, I think the fact that these were a tad cheaper is what swayed me, plus I got a Rilakkuma keychain.

I've also been wanting to purchase some Hello Kitty style frames for months, but never did, so I got those white ones with the red bow, they're a little tricky to see in the photos.

It's been a month, oops !

It looks as though I've had another hiatus and I apologise for it ! I got insanely busy all at once, I was working three jobs, plus lots of responsibility at home and church, and then I got sick again, and then my boyfriend and I broke up and I was sorting out finances and details for uni and gahh ! Just crazy ! I had so much going on all at once that I was just getting burnt out; not good. I've also been sketching and painting again so that was rather time consuming.

But I'm down to two jobs now so I hope to be posting often again. I actually have a whole bunch of hauls to post, plus some skincare and reviews, so please do stay tuned.
