[Review] Dreamy Bows - Bandai Sailor Moon Compacts

Hello everyone!

So I went on a bit of a spending spree due to the Black Friday sales (don't have it in England but some of the online stores I buy from have it!) Dreamy Bows just started stocking the limited edition Sailor Moon products, and to be honest I just had to have the compact set! Such a cute set of designs!



Dreamy Bows is the UK stockist for some of the Japanese Sailor Moon products, so I ordered through their website on the day of release.

[Life] Japan 2014

Hey everyone!

Misadoll here,

Sorry it's been ages since I did a post! But I've just got back from Japan, so I will have some sparkly Japan updates for you all.

This was my 3rd time visiting Japan, and it does sap all my money, but I truly love the place and it was an opportunity to show my family what Japan has to offer! This post will be very picture heavy but I think the pictures really explain how amazing Japan is, more than I could in words <3

Hope you like them!~

[Events] Hyper Japan 2014

Hey everyone! Misadoll here!

This weekend has been super crazy, as Pastel Doll attended Hyper Japan! The event is a huge Japanese culture event based in Earls' Court, London, which introduces all facets of Japanese culture to the masses. There is a lot of pop-culture based stores selling anime, manga, and fashion, but as well as this there are cultural stores which sell traditional Japanese goods and foods.


We had our Pastel Doll stall in the Fringe Market and had an opportunity to meet a lot of new people! We were busy all weekend with lots of customers and we had the most amazing time. :)

[Events] Sunnycon 2014

Hello everyone!

I'm catching up on all the blogging today, finally have a day off to do so!

Pastel Doll attended Sunnycon 2014 a couple of weeks back, and it was a truly amazing experience! We attended a couple of smaller conventions before - Newcastle Con, and Yorkshire Cosplay Con which were really great, and Sunnycon was the icing on the cake for us so far!

We saw so many beautiful outfits and cosplays over the course of the weekend, and some other fabulous stalls, (Wonderbox is really gorgeous!) And an overwhelming amount of people visited our stall which was honestly really amazing for us ;-; We are so happy that people liked our stock.

[Events] Kyary Pamyu Pamyu, London, April 29th

Hello everyone!~

Sorry it's been a while, and this review is a little bit late, but better late then never hopefully!

On the 29th April, me and Celestiadoll went to London to see Kyary Pamyu Pamyu!

I wrote about her before in my short running feature 'Music Monday's' and she is one of my biggest fashion inspirations, as well as having super cute, light-hearted pop music.

The gig was at the O2 Shepard's Bush and we managed to get tickets early because of the O2 priority. All the tickets for the gig eventually sold out so obviously she is very popular!


She played all of her most popular hits, including Ninja Re Bang Bang, Invader Invader, PonPonPon and Fashion Monster.

[Events] Sunnycon Boat Party

Hey everyone!

Sorry it's been a while, us guys have been super busy preparing all our stuff for our upcoming conventions! It's taking us a big longer than we thought to get things going, but hopefully it won't be much longer. :)


So last Saturday, I went to the Sunnycon Boat Party event! It's where you all get on a boat, play some music, have some drinks, and dance around in cosplay!

Lol, we got photobombed. We will have to use our persona powers on him later! From left to right, there is me as Yukiko, female senpai, Chie and Rise! Super fun :) 

I went to it last year and it was amazing, so we all decided that it'd be awesome if we could go along again. This year, the weather was terrible to begin with and we were stood outside waiting for the boat to arrive for far too long. I was freezing and the boat was quite late so it was getting a bit frustrating!

However, the rest of the night more than made up for it!



We were all dressed as characters from Persona 4, except for a couple of my friends, Risa was cosplaying from Love Live and we had a DBZ and Bleach (I think?) cosplayers too! It was super fun, and it seems there were quite a few fans of Persona 4 so that's pretty awesome!

[Events] Kitacon 2014

Hey everyone! Yeahhh ridiculous Hello Kitty glasses~ I'm sorry this post is full of selfies (✖╭╮✖)


Hope you're well~ Today I'm gonna write a little about Kitacon, since I've finally recovered from the crazy weekend! Kitacon is an anime convention based in Birmingham, and I've attended 3 of them now - they are always great and it's my main convention so I usually put a lot of time into preparing for it!

[Announcement] 'The Dark Fruits Collection' wig fiber closeups

Hi all!!

So in the run-up to our website launch, we have some exciting things to share with you at Pastel Doll HQ, fiber colours!

Sometimes it's hard to get a good idea of the true colours of wig fibers, especially ones that can range from pastel to super vibrant. Our colours are hand selected by us and we can't wait to show you the results!



The Dark Fruits Collection epitomises our love for quirky coloured hair, styled with loose feminine curls and a flattering lolita fringe.

Bitterberry: Our very first colour combination, ready to suit any pastel goth co-ord



Sweetberry: Aimed at fairy kei, this sickly sweet combo will be enough to give you toothache


Poisonberry: This striking white topped combination is perfect for gothic and sweet alike


We hope these pictures inspire you to create some amazing co-ords, check out our recent convention pics on the FB page ^o^

[Review] Geo Xtra Diamond Series Green Review

Hey everyone, Misadoll here!

I have a new review for you today, some circle lenses that I purchased from IWantCute.com. I bought the GEO Xtra Diamond Series, this time in the green. I did want some other colours too but IWantCute was out of stock, so I decided to go with a colour that would hopefully match my natural eye colour more closely.


All my photos were taken standing in front of a window to get natural looking light, hopefully this will allow you to see the true colour of the lenses!

[Review] Cyberdog Puff Playsuit and Wonderland Top Review

Misadoll here <3 Hope you're good! So recently, I bought a bunch of stuff from Cyberdog, they are pretty much my new favourite company for OTT cute things. I used to buy from Cyberdog A LOT back in the day but I kinda had a period of a few years where I didn't pay enough attention to their stuff. But now I'm back in love with them again and so I thought I'd do a review of my recent purchases.


How could you not love a neon pink unicorn top? They were even sweet enough to share this one on facebook&tumblr <3

[Review] ROMWE

Hi! Celestiadoll here~

So today I'm going to be reviewing ROMWE~ I've ordered from them a number of times in the past but the other dolls hadn't, so we did a group order together :)

ROMWE is an online fashion retailer based in China. I believe they started off as a vintage speciality shop but then expanded into street fashion. They've also very popular on the blogging scene. That cute sweater you saw on tumblr? There's a high chance you'll be able to get it on ROMWE.

Website & ordering;


The website is pretty easy to navigate around, allowing you to browse by ROMWE's collections, all categories, by apparel & so on. All items have the size measurements provided so you can know for sure if they will fit you or not before you purchase. They provide free shipping worldwide and like stores like Qwertee, they allow you to check out via facebook & you can pay via paypal as well as by card. They also give you a 15% coupon when you sign up with them for the first time (Yay savings!)


We ordered on the 30th December & received conformation that our order had shipped on the 3rd January along with a tracking number & our package arrived on the 10th January! I was very pleased as I had expected it to be much slower ^^;

[Review] AlicexAlice Review

Hey! Misadoll here, I'm back with a review for a Thai brand, AlicexAlice.

I was looking for a sheer black overdress, one that was cute and good quality, and I happened upon AlicexAlice when a friend liked their post on facebook. Their promotional images looked really neat so I decided to message them on facebook. They were really friendly, and the price was reasonable so I decided to buy it.

[Review] SheInside Review

-Misadoll

Hello everyone! Today I have a review of SheInside.com. Unfortunately, we never received our items so we can only review the service from SheInside today.

Website and Ordering

I ordered from SheInside on the 18th November 2013, having seen a lot of other bloggers use them before I thought they seemed like a place to get cute items from at a decent price. They have a huge product range and often have a lot of the latest trends on there. Since researching SheInside, I've noticed that they do have some replicas and counterfeit goods which I didn't realise prior to buying, so it may be a good idea to do some research on those items prior to purchase.

Their website is fairly simple and easy to navigate with a lot of options, the top bar has the categories that you can easily navigate through.
