♥ Luna Doll Sponsored Review ♥


Buy them HERE!
Price: $27

These are a great pair of leggings. The fabric breathes nicely and is stretchy so it is a generous fit. They are well made, no loose threads and sturdy materials. Great quality! The price is super decent in my opinion!


Item:
I got a size small and they fit really well with room to spare. They are not too long and not too short (I dislike leggings that are too high above the ankle when they are not meant to be!) Comfy but very flattering. Made of ... they are light, silky to the touch, but don't really create static electricity. They breathe so I have been able to get away with wearing them in this warmer weather. The print is gorgeous, this depiction of the sun and moon have a nostalgic effect on me. My favourite mug, that has been in out cupboard for as long as I can remember has a similar design, and we have had garden sculptures/ornaments in our yard like them too since I was a baby. I adore this motif! It's pretty versatile too in what styles it can be worn with.


Packaging/Shipping:
They came in a plastic envelope with no tears, not even a dirty mark on the outside. Inside the leggings were neatly wrapped up in tissue paper with a cute sticker to seal them. They arrived a week ago on the 8th of January. Shipping was a little slower than normal given it was the holidays, New Year and Christmas, and they were sent before Christmas. Not including the holidays they took probably under 3 weeks to get to me which is great.

Overall:
I have had heaps of compliments already about them and I have only worn them twice! Vivien is lovely to work with, polite and helpful, she is very approachable if you have any questions. I was over the moon (haha pun) with how wonderful these leggings are, I highly recommend them if you are looking!



† Dolls Kill - Lip Service & Toki Doki Review †



† Dolls Kill - Lip Service & Toki Doki Review †
Lip Service Desperately Seeking Daggers leggings - $40 Sale 50% off: $20
Toki Doki Blind Box - $12 Sale 50% off: $6


Shipping: $20
It was shipped just a few hours after I paid for it and I received it a bit over a week later. The website says 4 days for delivery, it took 7 working days to get to me. That is still good but when the site says 4 days and I don't get it in 4 days I do get anxious. Luckily it was all trackable by DHL and I could see where it was and what time it left each location, all the way to Australia. So even though it was late, by only a few days, I would say their shipping is very reasonable. It was in good sturdy packaging, and surprisingly my blind box wasn't squashed in transit.

Price:
The total, including shipping, was $46. For the quality of the leggings and the figurine I think it was fairly decent. I bought these when there was a 50% off sale at Dolls Kill. I was super excited about the leggings because they were something that had been on my wish list. The figurine, I love Toki Doki, but I mostly decided to throw that in so I would be actually still be saving a little on the leggings haha. Turns out I was actually saving big time on the Toki Doki figurine too.



Item/Quality:
For the blind box I actually think I got a good deal. For me to by from the Toki Doki website the figurine would be $8 but the shipping for just the 2 inch figure would have been $50 (what the actual fuck...how can it be that expensive?!). Sadly it wasn't the design I wanted from the Unicornos, but that's the whole idea of a blind box haha. It is a well made very cute vinyl figurine is a great addition to my collection of figurines.

The leggings are super comfy. I love their design and they fit really well. They are well made, cotton and elastic material, made in the USA. They have a sturdy zip at the back and you cant see my undies through them when I bend over (big bonus when it comes to leggings!) My ass looks nice in them too ;D

Overall:
Would buy from Dolls Kill again, they were super fast at processing and I could not find a problem at all with my order. I am even more sold on the brand Lip Service, beautiful clothes that are well made and affordable!

Black Milk Review #2





Price:
$155, much like the last lot, I've been wanting these for ages. The Tokyo Massacre ones I actually missed out on the first time and they were put in the museum so I thought I had missed out on them completely. Again, I'll say, they are very expensive for leggings but I don't really regret buying them. They are designer, they are made in Australia, supporting Aussie workers, designers and business, they offer free express post to Australia, so I understand the price tag. They were a treat and I won't be spoiling myself like that again for a little while. My wallet can't take it.

Shipping: Free!
Sweet~ They were shipped express post to me, from Brisbane down to Sydney for me. Black Milk offers free domestic and international shipping. They arrived folded up in a black ziplock baggy with the BM logo on the front, safe and undamaged, and they arrived the day after the shipping confirmation email. All in all I had to wait about 3 days to get them.

Extras:
This time I got a giant BM logo sticker...which I have no where to stick it.

Sizing:
I went for the same sizing as before, XS for me, and they fit great, I could probably get away with XXS but I don't want to risk discomfort. These leggings stretch A LOT, they offer from XXS to XL but it's better to go by measurements.

Quality:
Very high. I have worn these so much, I pretty much live in them and they haven't stretched much or faded. They breathe, so I don't get sweaty or overheat in them and they don't let my legs get cold either. You do have to hand wash them though. I soak mine in shampoo and rinse them separately.

Overall:
Love them to bits! Black Milk has made me a happy little chappy once again.

BlackMilk Leggings Review

I’m sorry for the quality of the photos I only have my phone for a camera and so I use instagram as a shortcut to edit them. Also this was an order and review I did back in early July 2013 before I had this blog. 

This is not a sponsored review ♥





Shipping: Free.
Black Milk offers free international and domestic shipping. It is based in Brisbane Australia so it was shipped express to me in Sydney. It arrived the day after I received the shipping confirmation email. It was packed in a black ziplock packet with the BM logo on it.


Easter Eggs/Extras:
I’d like to mention that you get a few little quirky bonuses each time you buy. I got a little sticker which I put on my 3ds, you get a humorous letter/reciept and their washing instructions were like a little biblical listing of commandments which also gave me a giggle.

Price: $150.
These are a little pricier and sort of a treat for me. I’ve wanted a pair for a while so I saved up. In all honesty I think they are a little overpriced but the quality is great, I’m supporting an Australian business and fair trade workmanship. They are made really well and the fabric is good quality, plus these are designer leggings so of course they are going to be expensive.


Size:
I was a little worried about sizing. From their chart I was between an XXS and an XS. They advise you to go for the smaller size if you are in the middle but not all the designs offer XXS. I just decided to go for XS. I asked for advice on the facebook page and was met with helpful suggestions and was told I could exchange them if they were not the right sizing. The sizing is just fine for me, in fact I think an XXS might have been a little bit too tight for me. The fabric is really stretchy so it would have fit but I think if they had been XXS the colouring would have paled a little from stretching. With the XS I do have a little extra room on my legs but it doesn’t look unappealing or baggy.


Item/Quality/Material:
I love them to bits. I’ve had a few compliments which is always nice. My Beetlejuice leggings, because they have white stripes, I had to buy some skin coloured underwear though. Anything else is visible underneath them. They are a nylon/spandex blend so stretchy, thick and tight..and shiny….and beautiful.

Overall:
I think they are worth every penny, even though it is a stretch for my little wallet I do not regret buying them. They will get lots of wear and I am following the 15th commandment each time wearing them feeling like a ‘hot little boss’. These are the only leggings I have come across where I think it is okay to wear them as pants haha.
