Luna P Reviews EP 11: Cosmic Set and LOVE bracelet from Alice Creazioni Kawaii ♥

Hi theeere! Sorry for the lack of updates this weekend! I’ve been spending a little vacations (￣▽￣人) I was really tired, so I think I deserved them! Anyway, I’ll start the common activity on China Pastel, so don’t worry! You’ll have everyday your dose of Fairy Kei and Pastel Fashion on your dashboard! 

Today I’m gonna review a Cosmic set and a LOVE bracelet from Alice Creazioni Kawaii. It’s an italian based shop who sells a lot (and I really mean A LOT) of Fairy Kei and Decora Kei stuff, Creamy Mami inspired accessories and much more ♥‿♥

1. External Packaging and Shipping: 

I contacted Alice about 7th June and she kindly sent me a parcel with some items in order to make the review the 26th July. Because of the slowness of postal service on August, the parcel took a little bit more of time in order to arrive from Italy to Spain (pretty close! >_<) I received the parcel about 7th August. 

The external packaging was a bubble wrapped envelope as you can see on the images and sweetly decorated with cute tape (´∪`*)

9/10

2. Internal Packaging:

The items were wrapped on plastic bubbles and the LOVE bracelet and the earrings were attached on a cute printed cardboard. I really liked the idea of make the business card as the cardboard of the packaging, but I think it could be deteriorate on shipping or whatever, so maybe it would be better if the display cardboard were a star printed as the earrings and let the business card presented as itself.

The bracelet of the Cosmic Set was apart, without plastic or any kind of wrapping. It’s not a fragile item, but as it’s part of a set, it would be nicer to be attached in somehow with the earrings…  

8'5/10

3. The item:

a) Cosmic Set: I really like the beads of this set, they’re pretty original and I’ve not seen them on any shop before. Also, they’ve a really good point, they glow in the dark! Sadly, I’ve been wearing the bracelet for two days and now the stars beads are black… the silver paint has disappeared and also the cosmic designs of the beads o(>< )o⌒*

b) LOVE bracelet: it’s a very cute piece, I really liked so much when I saw it on the online shop. The heart is made with a pearled pastel pink clay, so it’s glittery and light, it won’t be annoying when you’re wear it ✌(◕‿-)✌ Only two little fails: the organza ribbon were not so well attached and the ends of it were not fixed, so I had to remake the bow and fix the ends of the laces… And also, the item could have been packaged before the “love” word was totally dried, so the ribbon sticked on it and deformed the paint of the word (´。＿。｀)

8/10

FINAL SCORE!! 8/10

And that’s all! Alice Creazioni Kawaii is a shop with a large amount of possibilities, but I think they’ve to be a little bit more careful with packaging, communication, and durability of their items! (^‿◕)

Hope you liked it and had fun reading the review! (о＾ω＾о)

Luna P Reviews EP 13: Unicorn Necklace and Kawaii Bone Hairclip by Glitterbomb! 

Hello there! How are you beginning our school days? I hope you’ll be plenty of energy for this curse! 

Today I’m gonna review two wonderful items from Glitterbomb. It’s an Etsy based shop that sells acrylic jewelry with a touch of glitter and sparkles! 

1. External Packaging and Shipping: 

The external packaging is an opaque plastic mailer in PINK!! color! It’s awesome, you’ll love to receive a parcel from Glitterbomb just because of this… Maybe you can think that is not so secure, it’s not a bubble wrapping, but you’re gonna see that Elise put a really good effort on the security of her items ^^ I’m really pleased with the packaging of this shop! (^u^)// 

10/10

2. Internal Packaging:

As you can see in previous reviews, the internal packaging is so important because of the item could arrive broken, blended or anything worst… So please, be careful with the internal packaging! Your customer is paying for the item and it must arrive in perfect conditions! 

Elise uses adorable pink boxes with a sponge square on the bottom of them, so the items are totally protected even using a simple plastic mailer! It gives them a professional touch, they’re closed with deco tape and you can use them to keep safe your Glitterbomb items again (^^) 

10/10

3. The items:

 a) Unicorn Necklace: It’s just awesome and adorable! The acrylic jewelry is very resistant, so you have not to be afraid to wear it everyday in any occasion, it won’t broke or be damaged ^^ This kind of jewelry is mounted by parts of colors, and I was afraid that some pieces could fall or move, but they’re heavily fixed. And I also thought that it could be a little bit heavy weight because of the size (it’s about 8 cm width), but is really light and comfortable to wear. PRRRRFECT! 

2) Kawaii Bone Hairclip: This item is also an acrylic creation, so I can say the same as previous! The hairclip is an alligator clip, so it’s perfect for fine and straight hair as mine. It has little pastel star beads attached, it’s a super cute item! 

10/10 

And that’s all! I hope this review has been helpful if you were thinking about buying some acrylic jewelry, I highly recommend Glitterbomb :) Her items are well done, resistant, and they’re perfectly packaged, so you won’t be disappointed with broken items (^^) 

And remember that you can use the code CHINAPASTEL to get 10% in your order from Glitterbomb! 

FINAL SCORE!! 10/10

Luna P Reviews EP 12: Choker, Shoe Garters and More from Creepy Little Girl.

Hi theeere! Sorry for the lack of updates!! I’m on my final exams of an online curse and I’m very busy, so sorry!! (￣▽￣人) But don’t worry, China Pastel won’t fade away ^^

Today I’m gonna review a set of items from Creepy Little Girl. The items from this shop are perfect for Sweet Lolita, Cult Party and Pastel Goth styles, the sells garters, chokers, brooches, flower crowns and handmade lolita dresses : )

1. External Packaging and Shipping: 

I contacted with Avery in order to make Creepy Little Girl a China Pastel’s Partner and she kindly sent me a few of surprise items from her shop. The parcel were from Canada and it was a little bit slow, I thought that it could be because of the post office vacances… It took almost a month to arrive! But well, that’s not Avery’s fault! Sadly, I must to say that I’m disappointed with this shop because of the quality of the packaging. The external envelope was a bubble wrapped mailer closed by staples, I don’t know if the mailer was bigger and she cut it or if the mailer was damaged and closed again… ¿? 

7/10

2. Internal Packaging:

The internal packaging was non-existent, sadly, most of the items arrived broken… The mailer was too small for the items and they had been pressed, so the items didn’t arrive on great condition. That’s an important point in order to start an online business: be sure that the item will arrive in the best condition possible. In order to get this, use cardboard boxes, bubble wrapping, soft paper… But NEVER send an item without any kind of internal packaging. 

3/10

3. The items:

a) Shoe Garter : One of the items that makes unique this shop! They’re pretty original an well handmade :) Sadly, the item is not listed anymore on the shop, but maybe you can contact with Avery if you’re specially interested! 

b) Choker: A very cute item and again, well handmade! It’s perfect for Cult Party, Pastel goth or Fairy Kei outfits. Only one point: the clasp is not adjustable, si if your neck is too big or too thin, maybe you should ask for the measures before purchasing. 

c) Eiffel Tower Earrings: One of the items that arrived broken :( The bow cabochon were totally separated of the tower, and I think that it was because of not using the correct glue for plastic… It could be repaired easily, but anyone likes an item to arrive broken! 

d) Wings Earrings: Another of the item broken. One of the wings was totally broken on pieces, so it’s irreparable : / 

e) I love You Brooch : I’ve a contradictory sentiment with this item, is pretty cute, but I think that the price is a little bit elevated for the quality. It’s a fabric applique with a glued brooch clasp and it costs $3… If you really love it, go ahead, but I think is a little bit overpriced. 

f) Rilakkuma Baked Brooch : I really loved this brooch and the clasp arrived broken T^T So sad, it’s a cute piece… 

g) Cat Barrete: I really don’t know if the barrette clip works on vertical, because I’ve always used it on horizontal… I mean, the kitty silhouette is attached to the barrette in a way that you must bear the barrette vertically, and I don’t know, but in my hair it seems not to work… Anyway, my hair is so thin ^^u

5/10

FINAL SCORE!! 5/10

And that’s all! Creepy Little Girl has changed a lot from the moment Avery sent me the items, so right now you can find a lot of new stuff and styles… Honestly, I’m not so satisfied with the packaging and the products, I don’t know if she was less careful with the package because of it was a sponsored parcel, or if it’s always the same. 

I want to give her shop and opportunity, and maybe she needs to fix a few questions like materials, qualities and of course, packaging. 

Hope you liked it and had fun reading the review! (о＾ω＾о)
