In my Sailor Moon themed wishlist, {click here} to read it if you haven't yet, and in my Forever21 Haul, {click here} if you haven't watched it yet, I showed this Luna bag from the Samantha Vega collection, which was on AliExpress. This was my first time ordering from AliExpress, so I didn't know what to expect. Today I'll be reviewing the bag as well as my experience with AliExpress. So let's start~~!
My purse came in this heavily taped up box, which was a little dented. I was worried the bag would be damaged inside, but thankfully it wasn't. The bag itself was in a plastic bag, with nothing else to protect it.
To my surprise, inside the bag there were two little gifts. One of them was this mint macaroon coin purse, which is super cute and squishy. The other was this little pouch of potpourri, which smells really nice. I wasn't charged for either of these, so I guess they were just little gifts from the seller.
The bag itself is made out of good quality faux leather with gold accents on the strap, bottom of the bag, and the moon on the front. Both of the rhinestones on the moon where there, which was something I was worried would be missing. There aren't any scratches on the bag, which is also great.

The interior is a durable nylon with a super cute pattern of Luna and Artemis. There are tons of little pockets that make it easy to store your phone, wallet, and whatever else you may need. There is a zipper pocket as well as two little pouches on the other side. There is a thin pocket under the flap, which would be great for a train or bus card.

| This is the Samatha Vega tag. It says 'Fulfilled Love. This bag is for a girl who always has fun.' |
The strap is adjustable, but I personally like wearing it cross body so it's long.
My one complaint with the bag is that it's hard to close. The snap that is used to close it is sometimes hard to use, especially when it comes to closing it.
I bought this bag for $36.50 on AliExpress, but sadly the seller I bought it from sold out. There are a ton of this styled bag on AliExpress, but if you want the real one like mine, do your research by reading reviews. The knockoff does cost less, but the details aren't the same as this one. I got free shipping, which was also great because this came from China, and I usually have the pay shipping.
I ordered this on June 28th and I got it on July 8th, when on the website it said it would come between July 13th - July 28th. I was super shocked and because it came early I thought it would be ruin. Thankfully I was wrong and I'm so happy with this bag.

I am more than in love with this bag. I've been wearing it everywhere and getting tons of compliments on it. The quality is amazing and I definitely will be ordering from AliExpress another time soon. If you're a Sailor Moon fan like me, I would recommend getting this. I think this bag is a great way to show your a fan without being too out there. For what I paid, I think it was worth it completely.
I hope you all enjoyed today's review. Share your AliExpress experiences and/or your opinions on this bag in the comments below, I love hearing from you guys. Also, I'm planning a Sailor Moon themed outfit, so look out for that. Thank you guys so much for reading and I'll see you at my next post.
