Today's Photo: GRAIL!


So usually I post about the things I bought even before I receive them in the mail, but today I'd like to share something that I've been keeping for about half a week. I posted about my Vinylmation Holy Grails late last month and today I'd like to introduce you to Peter Pegasus:

Click the photo to enlarge!

I bought him off a seller on eBay- but not directly on eBay. There was a seller that was always trying to sell a few of his Furry Friends vinylmations on his eBay, but no one ever really bought them. Every time I went on eBay to see if anyone was selling Peter Pegasus, he was the only seller I saw. So, once my birthday rolled around and I had the extra money to buy an expensive vinyl, I went for it! But... not exactly in the way that you would think. I didn't bid or anything. I messaged the seller hoping to get a discount (he had it at a starting bid of $39.99). I asked if he could sell it to me for $30- and he agreed! As long as I paid $3 shipping. That seemed reasonable, so I bought it!
I got a tracking number a couple of days later and he arrived this morning. Strange thing is, the mail got her around 9 a.m. instead of the usual 3 p.m.! He must have wanted to come to me faster! 
I know what you're thinking- his wing is bent! As much as I loved that I got him for so cheap. Okay, so $33 for a vinyl may seem expensive, but completed eBay listings show that two PP's (lol) were sold for $42.25 and $44.99. Also, I actually witnessed a seller on Vinylmation Exchange sell their Peter for $45 a couple of days ago.
I also wanted to note the fact that although the seller did put the vinyl in a bubble wrap envelope, the vinyl itself did not have bubble wrap around it- only a plastic baggie. That is probably why its wing is all bent (I'm trying to fix it now). But I'm actually not mad- this is my grail! I love it so much and it's the cutest thing ever!

Today's Photo: Girl in Yellow


Today's special photo of the day is something I received in the mail- what is it?

"Vinyl Circus"?

*gasps*

The Girl in Yellow!

The vinylmation I've been wanting since this series came out! This is my new favorite vinylmation! Isn't she the cutest? I'm almost done with the en Vogue series (sort of). I don't count the variants, so now I only need a few more from this series. The red flapper, Audrey Hepburn (girl in black), and the chaser! Not sure if I will buy the chaser, but we'll see.

I bought it from this seller on eBay. They are based in the U.S. so the shipping was fast. There were a few marks on her but that was expected. They sell a bunch of other vinylmations I want (and are no longer being sold) so that's pretty awesome!

Friday Favorites: Cute Technology




Hangyodon x MIMOBOT - mimoco
Tokidoki Sandy x MIMOBOT - mimoco
Etude House Pink Prism Polish in "Sweet" - eBay
Pill tattoo tights - eBay

So I found an amazing flash drive website called mimoco and they have the cutest flash drives with pre-saved icons, backgrounds, and more that correspond to the flash drive you bought! I'm not sure if I'm willing to purchase a flash drive for over $20 but they are very cute. The Pink Prism line by Etude House is new and I'm in love with it! My favorite is the confetti glitter "Sweet" and the other glitter polishes in the line! I'll buy this one one of these days. The pill tights are freaking awesome and my favorite (surprisingly) out of all of the tattoo tights that seller has to offer. They would look awesome with a baggy t-shirt, shorts, and some sneakers. The only reason I didn't purchase them when I was buying a bunch of stuff last week was because I didn't know if the quality was good :\

Recent Purchases




These are my most recent online purchases. As you can see, I purchased two items that had been in my Friday Favorites- Cutesters Vinylmation and the Jumbo Hair Clip! All of these items were cheap (I bought the Vinylmation when the Disney Store had free shipping), so I don't feel guilty about buying them. I bought the Tony Moly bunny gloss in Peach, a color I'd been dying to have. The ring was super cheap so I just bought it on a whim. I'm sure the three dollar brush set isn't great, but I don't mind!

Friday Favorites





Angel Wing Hoodie - eBay
Special Effects Fish Bowl - eBay
Urban Decay Theodora Palette - Ulta
The Fault In Our Stars - eBay

So these are things that I absolutely need to buy in order for me to survive the winter . Okay, I'm joking. It's nearly spring, too. My point is that I need to buy these things in order for me to stay even slightly happy. I'm probably purchasing the Theodora palette this weekend or next weekend. I need to buy hair bleach before I can buy the hair dye. The hoodie is too cute NOT to buy, so I'll be purchasing it eventually. And the book... oh John Green. I need to read your books ASAP! I've only heard lovely things about them.
