FabFitFun: Winter Box Opening

February 27, 2020March 3, 2020 / lolitaland / 1 Comment

Have you heard of the FabFitFun box? This is an epic seasonal subscription box that’s customizable and filled with fun goodies! I’ve never done a subscription box before, but I have no regrets with this one. 🙂

Here’s what the winter box looked like upon arrival:

When I opened it, I was delighted to see cute print on the interior of the box, as well as a FabFitFun magazine.

Everything is wrapped so nicely!! I was impressed by the thoughtful packaging. All the items I had selected came in the box, as well as some delightful surprises.

There’s great value in the FabFitFun box: full-size products, customizations, and surprises that make sense for you. When you sign up for a box, you complete a survey so they can get to know you better and fill up the box more appropriately.

The first product I tried upon opening the box was the Stone Street Soaphouse body cream. This body cream is moisturizes well and had a very calming and natural scent. I can’t wait to try everything else in this box! To get the spring box at a 20% discount, click here and use the coupon code “RAINBOW.”

Emptyland: The Last Installment

February 11, 2020 / lolitaland / Leave a comment

So I may be phasing out my Emptyland series… It has been difficult for me to keep up with this. Especially since the apartment I moved into in April is cockroach-infested and I haven’t been able to keep things like sheet mask wrappers and sample wrappers around to photograph because I’d like to minimize what could attract cockroaches or other pests.

I also haven’t been using that many sheet masks to be honest. I use them perhaps once a month now? But I’d like to use them more regularly in the future.

This is the last installment – first photos from April through October, and then photos from November and December.

And that concludes April through October.

Next up: November and December. The end of the year, and the holiday season, and the end of Emptyland.

I’m also considering doing product reviews for specific beauty products that are in my routine. My mom always tells me to stick to the same products but I enjoy trying new things so I tend to switch up my skincare products once I’m out. There are some faves I gravitate to repurchasing, of course!

What new products have you added into your routine this year?

Lolita Fashion on Taobao (Part 3): 11/11 Edition!

November 10, 2019 / lolitaland / 3 Comments

Have you heard of 11/11? 11/11 is Singles’ Day and is a huge shopping festival with lots of sales, discounts, lucky bags, etc. You can shop the sales at Taobao, Tmall, AliExpress.com, and some other stores and websites participate as well.

Even though I could care less about Black Friday sales… I love browsing and shopping during 11/11! Sometimes, I spend hours just online window shopping. And when the budget allows for it, snagging some great deals during 11/11 is the best!

Some of the Taobao stores display their 11/11 sales more obviously than other. When you’re on certain pages, you may be able to see a promo for the 11/11 like the following for Bobon21:

Bobon21 is a shop with gyaru, larme, etc. styles and some pieces can be loliable!

On Empty Wardrobe, you can see where the promotion is outlined under the second little red box under the price, where you see 11/11-11/11:

The promotion above is for every 200 spent, you can get 20 discounted – and there’s no cap.

At Confession Ballon, you can even buy 1 blouse and get the second blouse free:

On some shops, like Rotate Ballet, you can see the 11/11 sale banner bright and clear:

I’ve had my eye on the brand Yolanda for a while, and it looks like they have a bunch of 11/11 discounted items too:

I’ve never purchased anything from the above shops before, so I can’t vouch for quality, but they have great ratings from Taobao shoppers from what I’ve seen in customer reviews and photos on the site. If you’ve purchased from any of these stores, definitely share your thoughts! And of course, share any other 11/11 deals that you find.

To make it easier to shop and browse, I also recommend the Google Chrome extension that automatically translates webpages. This only works on text though, so text within images are a no-go.

For shops I’ve purchased from in the past, check out Part 2 of my guide.

Happy Shopping!
