    A Guide To Taobao

    A Guide To Taobao

    What is Taobao? 

     Taobao is a large Chinese shopping website, similar to eBay featuring thousands and thousands of individual stores supplying a wide range of products including anime merchandise and Japanese street fashion. 


    To buy from Taobao you will need a shopping service (SS) since Taobao only delivers within China. A few reliable and popular Shoping services used are: Taobaospree and Taobaonow, however there are many more options to choose from if you look around.

    The currency used is Yuan (¥) The prices of the products tend to be low but remember you have to include shopping service fees and shipping fee's on-top. Also keep in mind, you might get charged customs if your order is over a certain amount.


    Some products will have weird prices such as "999" or "9999", this is a way to say that the product is sold out or not yet available. 

     Sizes: Most stores carry one sized clothes, sometimes S/M/L, but  measurements can vary a lot. Some helpful word you might see as part of measurements:
    腰围 /中腰 : waist                                          
    臀围 : hips                                                     
    胸围 : bust                                                     
    肩宽 : shoulder to shoulder length              
    袖围 : sleeve cuff circumference
    袖長 : sleeve length
    衣长 : general length of item


    It's also possible to view an item on either Buychina or Yoybuy where you copy and paste the taobao url into the url bar on the website. 


    Taobao stores have feedback scores that start with hearts (The lowest) and go up to gold crowns (The highest).

     At the top of every Taobao page will be an orange search bar where you can type in what you want to find and look through the "Babys" (AKA products)

    False lashes

    Today's article will help you with fake lashes. Lashes come in a variety of styles and thickness so picking the perfect pair might seem like a challenge! 

    Fake lashes help create a large, doll-like eye affect just like circle lenses. 

    Here's a step-by-step guide to putting on lashes:


    1. Get your lashes out of your box/holder
    2. Carefully place a small amount of Eye lash glue onto the lash
    3. Wait for the glue to dry 
    4. Once the glue has slightly dried, work out where your going to stick it (Always stick it just above your eyelashes, and not on them) to create more of an affect a lot of people stick them on in the middle so it makes the lashes extend your eyes. 
    5. Slowly stick the lashes onto your desired location. 
    6. Correct the outsides of the lashes
    7. Wait for the lashes to stick while lightly pushing them down onto your eye lids. 
    8. Carefully get the bottom lashes (You will want to use thinner lashes for the bottom!) 
    9. Place the thinner lashes on your bottom lashes.
    10. There you go, your eyes now have the kawaii Doll-like style. Use mascara to add more affect!

    Since some Japanese eye lash brands make their eye lashes able to use multiple wears, eye lash cases are made to carefully store your lashes. 


    In Japanese stores there are countless isles filled with Fake eyelashes.  


    It is also easy to buy fake lashes in the UK. High street stores such as Primark supply lashes. 

    Fake eye lashes can also be found on a variety of websites such as eBay which has a good collection of new, un-used Japanese lashes for reasonable prices.
