Cosplay Station Review I| Firestar & Co.

Hey everyone! Welcome back to the blog! Today, I will be reviewing the Nintendo Princess Rosalina Cosplay Costume & Wig from Cosplay Station. First, the website is located in Canada. Their domain is .ca, which is Canada. 


Second, a bit of backstory. This was my first ever cosplay costume and when I was just getting in to cosplay. I played Super Mario Galaxy, and it was my favorite game at the time (and still is), and I wanted to be Rosalina. Picture:


I looked all over the internet for the outfit, and came across Cosplay Station. The outfit was a bit pricey, which we will cover in a bit, so my mom refused. I really wanted to be her, so we compromised on my mom getting me the outfit for my birthday. 

This is their stock photo. The outfit costs $169.99 normally, but we got it on sale for $149.99. (Link below)

I'm sorry that this is the only pic I have of me in the outfit. This is really bad quality and my fails at putting on the wig. Cut me some slack. This was my first time cosplaying, ever. I wore this to my first year going to Comic Con, but we didn't take pictures.

In conclusion:

Quality: 4/5
The dress was good quality, didn't fall apart on me. The accessories though, they were horrible quality. The crown didn't even tie, so I couldn't wear it. The earrings were clip ons, so I had to attach some string to them and lay them around my ears. The wand was OK, but the star part was made of really cheap foam, and to this day the accessories are either broken or almost broken. Also, they didn't sell the shoes, so that annoyed me a bit. I spent forever looking everywhere for her shoes, to no avail. We did come close though. But anyways, the dress is too small for me now, and the accessories aren't in good shape. The wig was also good, but the bang in the front fell apart on me, and gel wouldn't fix it. It is still wearable, but it needs some professional fixing. 

Shipping: 5/5
Came fast. I don't remember exactly how long, but it didn't take two months. The outfit comes straight from their warehouse in China, the wig came from Canada.

Communication: N/A
I didn't have to communicate them this time, so I can't say anything about it. 

Overall: 4/5
The shipping was fine, the costume was fine, but the accessories were cheaply made, so that's what brings the score down. Same with the wig, it fell apart after a while. Also, their stuff is a bit overpriced for the quality of the actual item(s).


I would recommend them to you, but be careful about quality and stuff. If you don't have much money, then I would suggest looking elsewhere. Hope you enjoyed the review, and don't forget to give Cosplay Station a visit at their website: http://cosplaystation.ca. See you in the next review!
