Cream Biscuit Shopping Service Review + Web-limited Ribbon Rose Embossed Trunk Carry Reveal


안녕!

I'm back with another review and Fukubukuro reveal. ^^

I used Tokyo Pirates for the Liz LisaxMy Melody trunk but prior to knowing Jamie would be working this year on New Years, I asked other shopping services if they would be doing the Fukubukuros. 
I found this shopping service on Facebook in a Gyaru sales group where the girl was promoting her page. 
I think that, just like Tokyo Pirates, she is also mainly a shopping service for Lolitas and I probably saw her post in a Lolita sales group instead but she also shops for Gyarus and many other things which she has listed in her description. 



I contacted her a few months before the release of the Fukubukuros and after Jamie said that she doesn't know if she would do them. 
We talked about her getting the Fukubukuro for me and agreed to talk about it again when the Fukubukuros would be released. 
On 11th October she messaged me and told me about seeing a Liz Lisa Luckypack in the stores. That one was released for the anniversary of the brand and I like that she thought of me and told me about it. That's a plus for me. 

I contacted her again like 2 weeks before the Fukubukuros were released online and we talked about how much her commission fee would be and when she would go to the store, if it would be trunk that was released in-stores only again. 
She was very patient with me and all my questions and encouraged me to ask as much as I want. Sometimes you can feel like you are bothering the other person and ask too many or stupid questions but it was never the case with her! 

I sent her a deposit for the Fukubukuro in advance because I knew it would be released when I would be sleeping and I read that it was sold out pretty fast the past year. 
I think the people in Europe are lucky because they can send her the money as a gift and in Euro so there won't be any paypal or conversion fees. 

So, I actually couldn't sleep and was awake when the bags were released online on December 1st. I messaged her with the link to the one I wanted and she got it for me immediately. It was actually a few minutes before they should have been released and when she had to leave for school, so I'm surprised that she had the time to get it. 

It took over a month for her to get the trunk which was on the 10th January. She also offered to show me what's inside but I wanted to wait and see everything for myself. 
We talked about different shipping methods for a few days because we were both busy and couldn't talk much. I sent her the payment for shipping on the 15th January and she shipped it on the 20th January. 
It took a little less than 2 weeks until I got a letter from customs to go pick the package up. 

This was how much I paid:

27.432¥ (Fukubukuro + Taxes)
+4.500¥ (Commission fee)
+ 13.600¥ (International Shipping/ 7,5kg with EMS)


Pros:

❤︎ She replies within 24 hours
❤︎ Very friendly and pleasant to do business with
❤︎ Offers both EMS and Airmail
❤︎ Offers Online orders as well as in-store
❤︎ Good English
❤︎ Speaks french as well
❤︎ Reasonable Commission fee
❤︎ Remembered my request and told me about similar sales




Cons:

✘ Package did not include any bubble wrap at all, could be safer








As you can see, there was only the plastic around it but no bubble wrap and I don't like there being so much room in the package for the trunk to move around. That's the only negative thing about the shopping service.










My Liz Lisa bags *^* 


Jacket 



This was my first item. The jacket is very soft and I like the color. But I'm a little disappointed that this was the outer clothing piece and it wasn't an actual coat or something thicker.


Sweater



I didn't like this sweater at all. It's too big for me and it's also very thick. I hate it when my sweaters are too thick and the fabric at the top isn't something I would want on my clothes. 


2nd Sweater



I'm actually a little upset that this one is so short. It goes down to my ribs and doesn't even cover my stomach. I love the material, the color and the small ribbons on the sleeves but it's just too short on me. 

Cardigan



This is my favorite piece. I love cardigans and this one is very light and has the cute ribbons on the sleeves. 


Skirt

I've seen this skirt in other reveals and the girls always made the skirt look really good and put together nice outfits. However I don't like the shirt for myself. I don't like such a heavy fabric for my skirts and don't like how I look in them >< 

Jewelry


I love this cute bracelet. ;w;



I'm not really happy with this trunk. I only kept the bracelet and the Cardigan and already sold everything else. I was hoping for a heavier coat which I could wear in the winter and both sweaters did not suit my taste or body. 
I was scared about the content after a girl posted about old clothes being in this Fukubukuro but calmed down and just anticipated getting my trunk after talking to Berry. Thank you for that!
It's sad that the clothes did not suit my taste because I did see really nice clothes in other Fukubukuros but I did keep two things and I'm happy with them. 

I'd give it ✰✰ out of 5.

    1. Yea, thank you for that :3 The contents were okay >< I just expected a thicker coat/jacket and the sweaters didnt suit me but I would have loved to keep the short one if it would be a little bit longer. Hahaa we have both good taste :D

  2. We got the same outer! I was a little disappointed with mine as well since it's really useless to wear in Canada... I'm glad you found a couple pieces you liked out of it!

      Yes, the cases are always cute ;w; Although the canvas bags were kinda boring this year.
      The clothes are nicer usually and I saw other reveals which had really nice things ;;
