Hello there,
Sorry I have not updated for a long while. I will get back to doing some more update as I have done quite a bit of purchases since I last made an entry. Well here is my review on CuteParade (a.k.a CatNapCaps was her original name of the shop). She makes a lot of FairyKei accessories and a bit of other stuff. I love FairyKei fashion, but maybe at the moment not so much now as I use to. I still am a fan of it though. Anyways I have made a number of purchases from her before. I decided maybe it is time that I made a review on my recent purchase from her.
Since I have loved all her items I bought from her especially I have met her in person before at AM2 2012 Con & PMX 2011. She is very nice and sweet. I will definitely tell you she is my favorite handmade seller hands down. I have never met anyone that can exceed her high quality and well-made items. She always go over or beyond my expectations with her items. I tend to have low expectations to handmade sellers since in the past my purchases from some are never the best. But she gives me faith that there are sellers who have potential in selling items that are very good for a reasonable price.
Here is my purchases I had bought from her in the past.
Here is the package.
Actually I was a bit disappointed since the photo she took was quite deceiving about the Pinkie Pie image. When you actually get the item it looks like it was just printed on a flimsy paper. Like she cut off, then during the process of making the reisin slapped it on and then layered it over. I'm happy she layered it instead of like gluing it on top of the reisin. I was just not too happy with it being the paper print because it it a bit obvious from the distance or maybe it is just me being conscious.
Hopefully you can see also it wasn't cut off from the paper really well and the quality of the print.
Also I would like to say that the description did not say this, but the item glows in the dark. The was a nice plus I thought, my star ring also glows in the dark and by the way both the necklace and ring glow very well in the dark. I actually have had a necklace that barely even glows in the dark from another seller. It was so bad that you have to strain your eye and put it in a very dark room to see it even glow just a bit, but I will not say who the item was from. So that's why I really appreciate that her items glow very well in the dark.
Overrall, honestly I am still happy with it. This is the only time I may have been just a tad disappointed. But don't be discourage, it does not change my opinion about her and her items.
Price: 5/5
Quality: 4.5/5
Communication: 5/5 (she notified me when it was shipped)
Packaging: 5/5
Shipping: 5/5
Overrall: 5/5
Will buy again: Definitely yes!
Also apparently she has noticed I purchased a lot from her so she decided to write a letter to me telling me how thankful she is from continuing to purchase from her and threw a Pinkie Pie pin + scented strawberry cat sticker. It was very adorable.
Here is the letter, the sticker, and the pin.
If you want to buy handmade FairyKei accessories, you should buy from her. I will continue making purchases from her in the future. I will update more of my purchases when the Spring semester ends for me. ^^ Thank you for reading!
