Wig review for my Rikku and Cosmos wigs!
As always, I was very hesitant about purchasing wigs from an e-bay seller whom I have never purchased from and before and whom no one I know has purchased from as well.  The reviews on the seller were wonderful and the wigs I wanted were on sale and said free shipping.

You ALWAYS have to be extra careful when sellers say "free shipping" because sometimes they will include the shipping into the wig price to make it look like a nice, expensive wig.  So again I returned to the reviews and comments from other buyers.

There was a promotion going on that ended at the end of March where if you spend over 80 USD, you get free EMS shipping and a free wig cap.  Altogether, my base wig with two clips, 52" white wig with bangs and two 20" 8pc extensions cost around $114.  The seller, however, gave me 10% off and somehow everything totaled $98 and free EMS shipping.  This was a pretty good deal since the wigs themselves were around $40-45 and the extensions were $15 each (when normally a single extension of 20" is around $5 lets say).  So I really got Two wigs, one set of extensions, one set of extensions free and free EMS shipping.

When my wigs arrived, I was worried because I had never purchased from this seller before.  When I opened the box, everything was inside, including the free wig cap.

Since today is a rather icky and cloudy day, Rikku's wig looked considerably dark compared to the photo the seller provided, but when I stepped into the sunlight (since my kitchen is poorly lit), the wig was considerably lighter and closer to the provided picture and it looks much more blond (probably because of the highlights that are hard to see in unnatural light).

My overall experience with this seller?  Excellent!

Pros:
+ Great communication and fast replies.  I had questions and they were answered within 24 hours or less of sending them.
+ Free, fast EMS shipping
+ Wig fibers are soft and similar to the wigs of Ayanamisatoru on ebay
+ Everything I ordered, I received.  No mistakes.
+ Free wig cap

Cons:
- Rikku's wig looks dark in poor lighting, but then again all wigs usually do!  However, I must say that this is because of the highlights in the wig and natural sunlight brings them out, thus making it blonder and lighter!

*I will upload pictures of the wigs I received later!  It is very rainy outside today and I'd rather not take photos inside because it is equally as icky!
