DEAR ★ UTOPIA

Hello!

This post contains review about WIG! Yes, wig! The last time I post wig review is for Irisviel von Einzbern from Fate/Zero. It's been months! phew~

Recently Lolita wig has become a trend around cosplayers in the world, including Indonesia. The Lolita wig I talk about is from a taobao shop called Manreally (you guys should check out their shop because they have many beautiful wigs). It was very tempting seeing how pretty and cheap their wigs are! And here I am, I ended up buying one wig from them. To tell the truth, I originally wanted to buy 3-4 wigs but I had to stop myself because I would rarely use the wigs. Haha.

This is the wig that I bought. It has some kind of grey and a bit of yellow-greenish (?) color on it. I cannot describe the exact color, so you can see it for yourself.

No, the wig does not include the glasses. Instead, it came in a box.

This is my first time buying taobao wig that includes box like this one. It's nice tbh, because the box will prevent our wig from deforming due to shipping, etc. Also, there are Kotori and Umi picture on the box. lol~

Front

Although Manreally provide a sturdy box for storing the wig, they does not have any brand tag attached to the wig. But, who cares for brand tag nowadays? At least I don't. Haha.

My first impression when I touched this wig is "wow, so thick!". The wig is so thick that the wig cap won't be seen when you are wearing the wig. However, the thickness may also make your head look bigger. Therefore you may consider to trim some layers to make the wig thinner. Oh, also, the fringe is long (below my eyes area). This is good, so you can cut it according to your liking.

The wig cap is around regular to large size. As usual, you still can adjust the size yourself.

Wig parting

The fiber of the wig is soft and easy to comb. Be careful when combing since it has curls on the bottom parts!

I actually a bit disappointed due to the real wig shape. As you can see the actual wig shape is kinda different from the catalog. I need to put extra effort to style this wig so it will resemble the catalog picture. What a burden :<

Side

As for the color, it does not differ much from the catalog. The wig is made from different strands color too. And I like how they put gradation on the wig!

Tell me, you cannot take your eyes off of the shininess of the wig, can you? Yes, the wig is a bit shiny as you can see, since the photos are taken using harsh camera flash. The good thing is it is not that shiny under natural light. So, don't worry :D

Another thing that I notice is the wig strands do not fall easily. Wow! I don't expect such thing to be honest. When you brush the wig, some strands may fall, but not that much.

~~~CONCLUSION~~~

+ has a box!

+ nice color gradation

+ thick

+ soft fiber and easy to comb

+ the strands do not fall easily

- A bit shiny

- you have to re-style the wig shape

~~~ FINAL VERDICT ~~~

Color & Design 4/5

Price 5/5

OVERALL: 4.25 / 5

Well, I guess that's all my review for today.

Finally! My first blog post in English! Ahahaha~

Today I’m going to review my Irisviel von Einzbern (Fate/Zero) wig. Irisviel has been in my cosplay list since more than a year ago. And the costume is finished months ago, too. However I hadn’t buy the wig because I kept thinking which taobao wig I would buy. In the end I bought the wig from Ghostcos.

To be honest, this is my first Ghostcos wig. I usually buy a long basic wig from Coswig8 or Ywailisi then style it my own (because it’s much cheaper). However, a few months ago (yes, I just reviewed it now because I was not at home the entire August) I saw a local online shop in FB providing this Irisviel wig and said it was ready stock, so I quickly bought it without thinking twice. And here we go~ to the review~

reference picture from Ghostcos

Actual product

it has a brand tag

The wig came in a plastic container with cardboard around it. It has a white color and 80cm length. The color and style is pretty much the same with the reference picture on the website. I don’t have any complain about both aspects.

The wig is supposed to be straight, but why does it became wavy??? Seems like I need to use my hair iron to straighten it. The fiber is soft and easy to comb, even using my fingers. I need to wear it to the con to see if it gets tangled easily. So far it doesn’t tangle that bad.

wig fibers

The thickness of the wig is average to the moment where the wig cap won’t be visible. It is about the same as Coswig8 base wig.

Several things I dislike from the wig is when I first brushed the wig, some strands of the wig fell out. It annoyed me somehow. Also, the wig is quite shiny when you use a camera flash.

under a camera flash

some strands fell out

Talking about wig cap, this Ghostcos wig has a big cap. Nice~ Because several taobao wig shops has smaller caps and making it harder for me to wear the wig. The cap is sewn neatly too.

~~~CONCLUSION~~~

+ Pretty much the same as the reference pic

+ doesn’t easily tangle, easy to comb

+ soft fiber

+ quite thick

+ Neat packaging and wig cap

- Shiny

- The strands falls out easily

~~~ FINAL VERDICT ~~~

Color & Design 4/5

Texture & Shine 2/5

Thickness 3/5

Price 4/5

OVERALL: 3.25 / 5

Well, I guess that's all my review for today.
