Blippo Kawaii Shop Review

I recently came across this really cute online store called Blippo, they sell a lot of different things from Japanese fashion magazines, to stationary, to DIY candy kits! I contacted them to see if I could do a review and they very kindly sent me these items for me to review, and I will be doing demo videos on Youtube very soon!
Everything was sent in a box filled with packing, so the items were very safe when travelling. It was sent on the 23rd, and arrived today on the 30th so it's very quick shipping too! Here is everything I received:

 First I received this Apollo DIY chocolate kit. I've never tried this kit before, and I also haven't eaten the Apollo chocolates before, so I'm very excited to try this! It'll be fun to decorate the little chocolates~
 The instructions are in Japanese, but there are pictures so they are very easy to understand. There is also a video on Blippo's website showing you how to make the kit if you get stuck!
 Next I have these tiny coloured pearls, which are meant for nail art but I'll be able to use them for decoden and for my resin jewellery. They come with a little bottle of nail glue, which I could use for nail art if I wanted.
 The pearls come in a cute container that is easy to open and good for storage. They are very tiny and cute, but also have a lot of static so they stick to things a lot! They're a little fiddly but very pretty.

 I also received these cute cabochons which I can use in decoden! I'll be doing a decoden demo video featuring these on Youtube, and I have a good idea of what I can demonstrate~
Lastly I was sent this cool Blippo keychain, which I believe everyone receives with their order. I like the design of this, it's pretty cute!
Overall I really liked the items I was sent, and I can't wait to try them out properly! Don't forget to check out Blippo's website because they have lots of cute things, and it's free shipping internationally!

Getting ready for ONECon!

Sorry I haven't been posting here in forever, I'd like to update more but I never get the time > <

I've been wanting to sell at an anime convention for a while now, so when I heard about ONECon, I decided I would try and take my shop along and get a dealer's table :3

So lately I've been making charms and necklaces and things like crazy because I'm worried I won't have enough to sell over the whole weekend xD
 Just a small amount of the things I've been making xD

I also bought these jewellery trees from ebay so I could display my charms and necklaces in a cute way ^^

And this is what charms look like clipped to the white one :3 It's a little full here, I've taken most of the doubles off and I'm keeping it looking neater so people can actually see the charms xD

I also went and printed off photos of my decoden phone cases to put in a portfolio, so that people can see what I've made and order custom cases in person (which I'll ship out after the convention)
I really like how the portfolio looks so far, I'm going to get photos of my supplies so people can request certain things too :D

The convention is on 24th and 25th of August, so I have lots of time to prepare for it, so I'm hoping I'll have enough made by then! I have a growing list of charms to make, and I want to make at least 3 of each one so I know I'll have enough of those, not to mention the amount of resin necklaces I want to make, and decoden phone cases! I've been making things nearly every day, so I'm hoping to keep it up and have enough to sell!
And if anyone is going to ONECon by any chance, I hope to see you there!
 I'll be most likely wearing my new galaxy seifuku :D It's so pretty!
Anyway, thanks for reading, I'll hopefully be able to post more often!

TooTooKawaii Haul

So I recently bought from TooTooKawaii, and I've been wanting to buy from this shop for ages!
 The thing I wanted to get most was a whipple kit. I'd never made one before, and when I saw this I knew I had to get it because it looks so adorable! I had filmed me making it, but I was a derp and accidentally deleted the footage I had ;_;
So these are the pieces I made with the kit! They're super cute :D
The next thing I got was this cute chocolate cake roll squishy. It looks so realistic and is very squishy :3
I bought 3 small phone charm plushies, a pink Totoro, Cinamoroll, and Korilakkuma. They're not licensed or anything (you can really tell with Korilakkuma's face haha) but they were cheap and I don't mind.
Amy, the owner of the shop, also sent me these Girls Collection stickers and a park scene to put them on as an extra! These stickers are really cute and fun to use c:
So that was my little haul, if you want to buy anything you see here then you can visit her shop: http://www.tootookawaii.com/ and if you want to see the products in detail (and see me squish the squishy) then you can watch my haul video here: 


Thanks for reading!
