Review: Rosewholesale.com Items

at 6:24 PM Posted by Char

I was so excited when I saw the LDN shirt inside the plastic bag, I've been waiting for this for a month! Then when I opened it my first impression was that the material's okay, the size is huge for a free size and the stitching is still undone. Overall, my first impression was disappointed.

Sample photo in the website

The LDN Shirt costs $6.85 in the Rosewholesale website. It pretty much is cheap for a shirt like that but satisfaction and quality-wise, the price is just right.

The product title says "Round Neck Plus Size Letter Print Half Sleeve T-Shirt For Women". I know the title mentioned Plus Size but the model in the sample photo isn't a plus size so i thought it referred to the letter print (LDN) as plus size. I think I ignored the measurements because it also says "Free Size" on the size option upon shopping. I just realized that the measurements were really XXL or even greater as indicated. The sample photo was really misleading. As a result, it turned out to be a sweater-like fit on me which I was not expecting.

Actual item received:

When worn:

Plains & Prints pants

Dresslily beanie | Forever 21 sunnies

Sophie Paris lipstick in Russian Red

Rate - 7/10

Actual item looks exactly like the product photo except for the sizing illusion. It really is bigger than a usual oversized shirt. Some of my friends noticed that it's huge for me too. My photos when worn may look like it's just right, but I guess that's the illusion of this shirt. It looks good in photos. But I still like the print though and I think I can still wear it during my comfy laidback days.

The second item I ordered was this Leopard print dress. It costs $6.12. I really thought this was a straight dress. But when I opened it, it was actually 2-piece. That disappointed me at first because the skirt (and top) looks absolutely low-quality and cheap. ~~Now I know where Divisoria gets their clothes.~~ My first thought was I would just use it at home because of the cheap material. The skirt was also nothing special. It was just cut in a certain way. But read on for my change of perception.

Actual product:

When worn:

Firmoo sunnies

Rate - 6.5/10

After I ironed, tried and styled on the pair, I actually quite liked it. It looks good in photos and when worn than in actual. I could style it in a multitude of ways too. The skirt is a wee bit short though but it's good for a casual day out.

Overall Rosewholesale Experience: Quality-wise, you might think twice but for its affordable prices, I guess it's okay. Shipping also takes about a month like in my Dresslily experience and I'm not a fan of long shipments. But their items and clothes are really affordable, trendy and extraordinary so might wanna check their site for wholesale shopping or just for fun.

Comments are appreciated below!

Find a lavish way to remind that special someone you love them

at 6:08 PM Posted by Char

Relationships come and go and are available until finally one stays and comes. A love this way is rare and to be cherished and it should be nurtured with reminders for its entire existence. It isn’t, though this often seems like an incredibly hard action to take. It’s only hard to do well. Don’t fear, future gift givers and romantics, advice is about the way! When you are fortunate enough to either have the job you want or even be on track for doing it, there is nothing more classic, more precise and more sexy compared to a Rolex watch. Just saying it out loud conjures images of Caribbean beach caviar, walks and cruises. However there’s something that separates a Rolex from near every other top shelf gift. Each one is a piece of art. Each one is constructed with nearly atomic precision to be marveled at, not simply appreciated. To give someone a Rolex would be to say that can be a cut on top of the rest. That individual isn’t just special, he’s perfect. She’s the love of your life.

Rolex watches are designed for both women and men and so they instill confidence and class in whoever is blessed enough to put on one. Or rather, to become worn be one. A lot of people say that every time a person wears a Rolex, the Rolex enters your room first. The company takes their clients as seriously as you may take your child’s educations, although not only is Rolex the zenith in watches around the world. You could contact a rolex watch repairs in order to be assured the best service. They may have many rolex repair centers throughout the world and you will probably always be cured with respect.

There are many other top shelf ways to assist you in saying those cherished three words if going the timepiece route isn’t for yourself and is not going to strike inspiration in your gift giving loins. An African safari is the Rolex of trips and it’s something that everyone deserves to experience though very few people do. People say that humans originated in Africa and therefore there’s an inherent comfort and familiarity with the landscape. Take the one you love to where it all began, literally, about two million years ago and share in the knowledge of a lifetime visiting lions, not tigers or bears, with their natural habitat.

Maybe you need to try something close to home, and have a phobia of something perfect in your wrist. Maybe you just don’t have the period in the big old rat race of a world. Can you imagine anything easier, more fun, and intimate than a five star accommodation with 5 star hotel room service? I can’t. Take your loved one to the Ritz-Carlton or the Four Season. Use your trusty internet and find out which local hotels have the best massages and spa packages. You try to live the sort of life you desire, even though remember, you work hard. And you would like to show people you love them in the way that feels straight to you. Don’t be shy and do some research, cause a little work now can go a long way when it counts.

Dresslily.com Review: Hair Extension and Beanie

at 4:34 PM Posted by Char

Last November 25th, I was contacted for a product review by Dresslily.com for items worth $15. Upon visiting their website, I noticed that their products were very affordable and that I could get more than one item for $15. So I excitingly browsed over a hundred variety of products from their website and picked which I would like to review.

I picked the Long Wavy Hair Extension in Light Brown because I always wanted to try one and a Moustache Print Beanie because it looks so cute on the website and I just obsessed over beanies at that moment.

I sent my order and shipping details by December 2nd, received the tracking number for China Post by December 9th, received a notice from my local post office by Christmas time (but my notice was dated December 19), and was able to claim the parcel only by January 3rd because of the holidays.

Transaction & Shipment: Took 5 weeks before I could get my hands on the items. Would be too long for me if I actually paid for it and wanted my products asap. Local post office charged me Php50 (around $1.12) which annoyed me because I didn't wanna spend anything. I also think some foreign online stores can ship items directly to my door without charges from the post office.

Items:

(click through the website photo to direct to the product link)

(Photos with minor editing and no curves/filter for actual color)

Hair Extensions in Light Brown - $8.11

This is the photo of LIGHT BROWN in their website

This is the actual item

Color and texture without flash

Pros:

I love the texture of the hair. It's soft and shiny!

It's lightweight. Comfy to use.

The light brown color is okay and not golden-y (i don't like golden hair).

It looks extremely natural and not synthetic (but it is, if you read the description in the site).

I like the waves better than the website photo.

Comes with a hair net for safe keeping.

Cons:

The color is not accurate. Might be because of the monitor resolution but this could be a problem.

The waves are different from the website photo (could be a problem if the buyer wants exact).

The length is a bit short for me because they're wavier. I expected and wanted longer.

Hair volume is thin and there are strands falling off.

Clip-ons

Rate - 8/10

But overall, I love this hair extension. I would definitely be using it for casual or formal days. I must dye my hair closer to this though before I could actually use it. Will post Instagram photos for you to see it on me, soon!

Moustache Beanie - $6.36

Website photo

Actual item

Pros:

It's soft and comfy.

Good quality wool.

Matches the design in the website.

Cons:

Size is small compared to the average size of beanies. No size description mentioned in the website.

The moustache is not sewn entirely. It seems like there is cotton-like material patched in to fill the inside.

Rate - 6/10

I am kinda disappointed with the fitting and moustache quality. I will probably give this to my little sister instead because of the size and because she loves moustaches.

Dresslily Experience: Overall, my items arrived and I'm hoping I could review their clothing soon.

Leave me a comment below if you have questions!

P.S. I will update this post for worn photos next time. In the meantime, follow me on Instagram for quicker update.
