[Advertorial] Glisten Jewel - Affordable accessories for everyone!

Accessories are L-O-V-E!

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I get really excited when  I know of cheap places that sell beautiful ladies' accessories (I think I have developed a serious fetish for accessories! LOL. So much that I actually bought myself a large jewelry box to store all my precious necklaces, bracelets, rings.. etc. Oh wait - 1 box isn't even enough!)

So you can imagine how excited I was when Glisten Jewel contacted me and sponsored any 2 items of my choice from the store, and I am telling you... I totally love my picks!

Interested to know what I have chosen to feature here? 

Then please continue to scroll down to find out yourself! LOL.

Glisten Jewel's service was really efficient! I received it within 2 days (excluding weekends as the Post Office wasn't open.)

My first reaction when I first saw this..:

"Wow".

The owner of Glisten Jewel, Gen, is a real sweet lady! I was really touched by her kind gesture in hand-writing me a little note.

Aww.. Thanks, Gen! :)

And did I mention that I LOVE,LOVE... LOVE the packaging that the accessories came in? 

Shiny silver box with blue velvety cloth - It looks really sophisticated. 

Professionalism to the maximum level. 

CHIO. Wait till I show you the full version of the necklaces!

Labelled as "Chocolate Dream" by Glisten Jewel,  the name couldn't be more suitable!

One of the reasons why I chose this specific necklace is because it looks really sweet. A light baby shade of pink - complete with cute little charms.

*squeals*

A half-bitten chocolate charm. Any chocolate fanatic here will definitely be crazy over this. :)

One thing I absolutely love about the necklace is that it seems to tell a story. The charms blend in really well with each other - Chocolates, teddy, flowers, pearls... 

Sweet in a dreamy way.

Just in case you are wondering about the quality, here's a really close-up shot of the pearls.

Totally not those cheap plastic-looking materials that you can get from random stores.

And can you believe that it is actually priced at a freaking low price of ... ...

$5.50 ?!?!?!?!

I couldn't believe my eyes either when I saw the stated price. 

I suppose that this kind of material can easily be priced up to $10 or more in retail stores.

No kidding. I have seen lousier quality from other places and they are not even this cheap!

Ok,  now on to my jaw-dropping choice #2 necklace - The Wishbone necklace!

It has one of the most simplistic designs - and not a style I'll normally choose BUT I'm going to treasure this as it holds a strong meaning to it.

A Wishbone is known to be something lucky - and brings luck to the owner.

As cited from Wikipedia:

"In 15th Century Europe it was thought that the wishbone could be used to predict the weather.Nowadays, once removed from the turkey or chicken, the wishbone is dried and then held between the little fingers of two opposing "wishers". Once the wish has been made the bone is pulled by each person. The wisher who breaks off a larger section of bone is assumed to have their wish granted. Alternatively, the winner of this contest may choose to transfer the fragment of the wishbone, along with the wish, to a person of his or her choosing."

AND OF COURSE I AM NOT ASKING YOU TO ACTUALLY BREAK THE NECKLACE, LAH. 

Hahaha. 

It is just that the symbolic shape has been made into a necklace - and you can feel lucky wearing it on you.

(Who knows, something lucky will indeed befall you? *smiles*)

Well, you see...Even celebrities are totally digging this!

Kristen-Bell:

Jennifer Aniston:

And here's a photo taken by me on the actual item:

Again, I'll take close-up shots to prove to you of it's quality and delicate design:

Pardon my messy strands of hair - It's flying all over from the wind!

But well... I'm starting to love the simplistic (and lucky) Wishbone design!

How about you? :)

I believe it's really difficult to resist the temptation when it comes to cheap but high-quality items - But sometimes you know you HAVE to get them or there is a possibility that you can't find the exact same design elsewhere anymore.

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Can't get enough of the accessories I featured from Glisten Jewel?

THEY HAVE MORE IN THEIR ONLINE STORE!

Super Kawaii ladybird earring design - only at $3.90! Can you believe that? OMG.

(It's a pity I do not have pierced holes, or I would have loved this to be part of my collection!)

I'm star-struck! LOL.

This is also $3.90! 

*faints*

Ok enough said. I do not want to spoil more of the surprise. Just head over to their online store at

[Advertorial] GlamPuss

It is a known fact that I LOVE accessories.

Yes, I have many kinds of accessories - ranging from bracelets, necklaces, chokers... Well, you name it.

So imagine my delight when the pretty owner, Daphy, from GlamPuss invited me to do an advertorial for her online store, in which she has kindly sponsored me 2 items of my choice.

(The logo design appeals to me so much cos' it has an image of a CAT! =D People have always known me as a cat person.. Hahaha)

Here's a photo of the package when I received it in the mail (Pardon the crumpled lines as those were caused by the mail transition) :

I love the stamp that states "FRAGILE Handle with care"! (Daphy had it custom-made for her store! Aww...)

Look at the back of the envelope as well - The GlamPuss specialized stamp!
I have actually "stolen" this photo from Daphy (with permission, of course!) as she took a photo before mailing it to me. Unfortunately, I am unable to capture mine due to the fact that the stamp inking was affected by the rain during mail transition. :(
(It was inevitable since it had been raining cats and dogs last week.. So I guess I can't totally blame the postman too. Ah well~)

I really appreciate the effort with the bubble-wrap! It was really very perfectly done to ensure that the items would not be affected during mail transition.
(Despite the after-rain condition the envelope came in, the items remain as how they originally were - thanks to the awesome wrap!)

The "Gold Phantom" necklace that I had chosen:

(It is even more beautiful than I imagined!)

In packaging:

The elements of mystery and elegance:

Totally not edited with Photoshop or any software; I am shooting the necklace as it is according to how it appears in reality!

The combination of gold and silver goes really well together, don't you think so?

GlamPuss was so sweet to drop me another surprise - with a "You've got mail" birdie ring, too!

I am totally digging the ring because it has a dangling envelope by its 'beak' that adds on to the cuteness (You'll be able to see a much clearer photo in later part of this post )

And there was a handwritten note as well.

I was really touched by the gesture and effort! *sobs*

Excitedly, I wore both of the accessories out for an event I attended just this morning (I'll blog about this in a separate post!)

LOL - I started camwhoring when I was sitting in the bus already:

(Damn, please focus on the ring and not my eyebags pls!)

The "I-want-to-yawn" pose, just so I can take the opportunity to SHOW OFF my ring! Wahaha~

Wearing items from GlamPuss and proud of it:

It was a damn hot day and I was seriously worried that my sweat would stain the necklace (Yes, I was THAT protective of it.) Fortunately, it didn't happen.

But I am still loving' it nonetheless!

Despite the fact that the design is subtle, the rhinestones made the "phantom mask" stand out.

& on top of that, it does sparkle at certain angles! I totally love anything that sparkles. =D
Hahaha, typical bimbotic me.

BUT... BUT... it's really pretty. :)

I actually imagined wearing a black dress to go along with it as I think the gold & silver combination will most definitely stand out against a black background.
Here's an example:

Close-up:

See? Told you!
The length is also adjustable, so you can choose to either make it longer or shorter- depending on how you prefer it to be. :)

Each and every accessory in you see in GlamPuss was handpicked by the store owner herself (that means those designs are really unique and you won't be able to find them in commonly-found places!), not to mention that the prices are one of the LOWEST you can ever find too.

Despite GlamPuss being a new online store, I have to say that I am really impressed with their professionalism. From communication to packaging and delivery, there is nothing more you can ask for from a perfect online shopping experience.

If you are interested in the "Gold Phantom" necklace I wore in the photos, do take note that there is a silver version of it, too! It all depends on individual preference, but I am sure both will look flattering anyway.


Here is the silver version:
