New Style Venture - 'Cult Party Kei'

So I've been getting to know more about 'Cult Party Kei' style through a few members of Cult Party Kei UK and I've found it to be a very interesting mélange of mori with fairy kei. The layering reminds me of mori girl and the play with textures but the mix of pastel colours with white/cream and the lightness of it seems to be fairy kei-esque. They also incorporate crosses, accessories made out of fake hair, tassels and bric-a-brac of other creepy things like doll parts in Cult Party coordinations.  I also notice various of handmade and vintage items which people incorporate with their outfits.

Here's a dress that I'd love to own one day but I don't even know where I can get it from...

They also have a makeup style as seen in this example of a street snap here.
You can active this look by applying blush under the eyes, some eyeliner and lashes. 
In my photo, I've basically did just that. I think the two girls that have done it Aimi and Ophelia looks stunning with this type of makeup but for me I think I just look like as if someone punched me and just a tad creepy. Perhaps a more subtle application next time!

I'd like to know your opinions on the style, do you like it, hate it or just don't really care for it?
Have any of you tried the style? If you have I'd love to see!
I know I remember thinking it was a weird style when I came across it last year, but now I actually really like it. It's still so experimental so guidelines are pretty much slim to none.

Here's a Cult Party Kei outfit I wore for yesterday's outing to see The Avengers (great movie btw!):

    1. Oh I don't know much on Pastel Goth but after looking at photos on google I gathered that it's more pinky goth but with pastel colours mixed with black? But CPK seems to have more of a softness about it but still creepy in the way Pastel goth uses crucifixes in a cuter and more colourful way. I'm still unsure...

      Thank you hehe it's the usakumya's first outing.

    1. Thanks Panshewa! <3
      Ive always thought Dolly kei is more vintage inspired and less floaty?
      I'm definitely going to wear it more so I'm glad to hear that! ♥

    1. Thank you Jo! ♥ Glad you think I nailed it!
      I'm surprised that I didn't have to buy a single thing to get this look too! haha
      Aw well my heart still lies in Lolita but I just want to dabble on other styles...I also blame the CPK group for this venture XD

    1. Yay Thank you, Lila! ♥ I'm glad you think I did it well, it's a hard style to determine but it's definitely fun to try, especially the 'creepy' makeup.

  7. You can get a dress like this on taobao. I really wanted one like that too and finally found it.
