USRazor Review - Negative!! SCAM - CONTAMINATED MERCHANDISE

Okay, so I was on the hunt for a cheap razor because I was getting tired of my old model, I started poking around ebay and came across The ebay page for USRazor. The razor I wanted was dirt cheap and listed as brand new, never used or opened, so I decided to check out their website (because usually when sellers have an individual site, the items there are cheaper). I found the same, brand new razor from their ebay listed for about $0.50 cents less, free shipping, and paypal accepted, so I figured, why not?

Biiiiiig mistake.

The razor arrived today, I open the package, and this is what I find


I was sent a (possibly) used, opened, and therefore contaminated razor. It looks like to me that the seller, to try and save money, has ripped out the back ends (therefore opening the entire package), taken out the two free razor heads that come with the razor in it's brand new state, and started collecting them, possibly to sell as separate refill packs.

So I am pretty astounded at this. I mean, what if I cut myself and got infected because this razor was opened? So I email them to explain the situation, and their response is this:

Hi

I am sorry but I have shipped brand new razor. If you are not happy, please send it back for refund
Thanks
So he/she essentially calls me a liar and demands that I ship the contaminated razor back to them, on my own dime, so that they can sell it to someone else. At this point I can tell that this discussion will go nowhere, they are "right" and I am "wrong", so I file a claim. I add a link to the above image in the claim message, explaining that I am p sure it is illegal to sell opened, contaminated personal items, especially to do so while listing it as brand new. Some of their responses:
  • 5/16/2013 21:48 EDT - Seller: You need to send it back for full refund and that is paypal policy. Thanks
  • 5/16/2013 21:47 EDT - Seller: Hi I am sorry we did not open it. I have thousands of them and why would I open it. Sent you brand new Razors. If you don't send it for refund. Please don't buy from my site anymore. We don't need you as a customer. Thanks
  • 5/16/2013 20:21 EDT - Seller: Hi Please send it back for refund. Thanks
 "We don't need you as a customer" ROFL WOW. Real professional. I don't need you as a seller, either. I'm pretty sure no one else needs a seller who would willingly send out contaminated, opened and tampered-with merchandise and deplorable customer service. Don't worry, I won't be back.

I called paypal and they got me my refund, so I'm alright, but I wanted to make sure people know what they are getting into with this shitty fucking seller and their attitude.

Zarmark Taobao Agent Shopping Service Review - Negative!!

So, I switched over to Pruany from Taobaospree a while back, and recently they refused to give me consultation for an item I wanted to buy, something about "we do not buy this product, irritates our employee", whatever. It's a long story, I have no idea what they were talking about. So I went on the hunt for a new service. I came across Zarmark. They have a streamlined system where all you have to do is copy/paste links into a webpage, which I liked. I placed my order, everything seemed to be going well. Once they received all my items, I decided to ask for pictures of a certain item I bought, to make sure it was correct. I asked for very specific colors and model types, and the colors were allllll wrong. Naturally I was a bit pissed, so I asked the purchaser about it.
"Seller say he cannot promise the color you want but he would try. Sent at random"
"And why didn't you tell me about this before you spent my money on it?"
"Is my mistake. What do you want us to do."
"I'd like a refund or a shipping credit."
"Ok. Please forgive."
"It's fine, just make sure to credit me."
So finally all my items arrive. I speak with a representative and say that I need my items as quickly as possible, so he quotes me for about $31 EMS and I pay immediately. Later that day, I get an email with my tracking number. It says RA_________. I'm thinking, RA? Is that... goddamnit, that's fucking Airmail isn't it?? I immediately respond asking about it.

"Sent airmail by mistake, will refund the difference."
"What part of 'I NEED THESE AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE' did you not really get?"
No response.

Just, extremely irresponsible and bad all around. I stopped to think about it, if I hadn't caught the mistake, would they have refunded me? Or would they just be sittin' pretty on that free money? I wouldn't recommend them to anyone, really. I'm still on the hunt for a decent service since Pruany decided to be a cock for no reason =/

*UPDATE* My package finally arrived, and surprise! More issues. I ordered 30 pcs of an item, 15 pics match what I wanted, the other 15 don't. I emailed them and basically said, "I only have 15 pcs of the item I wanted, I want a refund for the items that are wrong." And this is the response I get:

Dear

The item is out of stock, and jelly  [the agent] already tell you and change it into another item.
Do you forget it ?
 
I think you must be a Child, and I hope you could be a good girl if you can.
 
Do you think so ?
 
Have a nice day.
 
Karen

Can you believe that?? I am so flabbergasted and disgusted with that response I can barely articulate it. I want to blame the language barrier but, really? Calling me a child because you sent me the wrong item? Btw I was never told they were out of stock. I looked through every email and message archive of correspondence with Zarmark and not once did they mention this item being out of stock.

i.Fairy Ruby Red Circle Lens Review

Hi again! Since yesterday's post was just a quickie, here's a review of my Ruby Reds.


Interesting story with these. The first pair I ordered were TERRIBLY painful. My eyes were stinging and throbbing and it was the worst pain I have felt! I took them out immediately and contacted my seller. After sending him some pictures, he said that the supplier agreed to send me a brand new pair (yay). This is a review of the new pair. I decided to try leaving them in hot water (closed in their cases of course) a little trick I learned I soompi when there is sliding around/discomfort. So I popped the right lens in, felt great, no problems. Left lens? ASHGDKJASYUEB JESUS CHRIST. Horrible pain again! Not only would the lens disappear into the upper regions of my eye every time I closed it for longer than 3 seconds, the pain/irritation was STILL there! Because it just wouldn't sit still, I constantly had this fucking derpy look on my face. Horrible.

Here are the pics:


*~*~*

Comfort: 1/5 - Really disappointed with i.Fairy =/ They are my go-to company when I know I need a comfortable lens and they really failed me here. Twice! I'm not even going to ask for another pair.

Color/Design: 4/5 - The lenses are a lot brighter than what my pics indicate, and while the color is shocking at first, it's very interesting. I'd like to try some more red lenses in the future.

Enlargement: 5/5 - i.Fairy is always impressive in the enlargement department, no issues here.

So that was my Ruby Red experience. Honestly I've never seen anyone else complain about these, so it just must be my luck that I was sent two defective pairs. Would I recommend these? Well, I'm not sure. On one hand, the pair you receive may be fine, on the other you could end up with ones like I got... so I suppose if you see them somewhere for cheap and don't mind taking a gamble, it wouldn't hurt to try them out.

Sweets Deco Rings Nao Available on Fiverr ! o:

Hay guys! So, thanks to Regretsy, I decided to make a Fiverr gig.

What's Fiverr, you ask? Well basically it's kinda like etsy, but everything is $5 and pretty much completely anonymous. You can sell just about anything there, and it doesn't cost you anything! So I decided to crank out some simple decoden to sell on there. Here's what I ended up with!


I don't like the background, but it's all I have =[ My sister took my purple/green background and messed it up @_@ Anyway, here's the link to the gig if anyone is interested!

DecoDen / Sweets Lolita Accessories

So I started to become really interested in sweets deco a while back. It's like the world's cutest hobby! However, I definitely was not prepared for how difficult it can be at first ;~; I made a mirror that was supposed to be strawberry themed, laid out the frosting all neat and circular, and then I realized I only had one cabochon that would match with the theme. So I just kind of stuck it in the middle and laid flatback beads around it, and some sprinkles. And then I decided to try that whole "puff paint melty sauce" thing that I see so much. Man, that turned out horrible, because I did it after I had already put all the icing on. So at this point I'm just like, "fuck it" and I let it dry. It's so sad looking =[ I suppose it was a good learning experience because now I know that I need to have the layout planned out before I start frosting things. The only thing is, when I try to plan things out, I have a hard time... arranging things in a manner that would be aesthetically pleasing, as stupid as that sounds. I know there is a certain... method to it, I just need to figure out one that would work for me. I suppose I just need more practice.

Anyway, I made some things that turned out not to be a disaster, thank goodness!

My camera has the worst shake protection ever. If you move a cm the whole pic is blurred to hell =|

This picture came out a lot better :3

And no, I will never ever ever take a picture of my strawberry disaster mirror D: One day when I have a proper setup for deco and lots of practice I will make a mirror and it will be glorious!

I put them up on ebay at a starting bid of $7 shipped but there were no takers =[ I'm not sure if I want to make an etsy, there are sooooo many deco artists there, and so many of them are so much better than I am! I think I will probably put them up on my weebly to see if anyone is interested. I tried the whole Artfire thing and while it's free, it gets basically no traffic, so your stuff just sits there on display =/

I change hobbies a lot, don't I? <_<

Super Barbie Lace & Melon Review / Ying Lens House / Beautiful Eyes

It's that time again!

So these were among the very first circle lenses I ever bought, and I never got around to reviewing them so I figured I should probably get on that. I actually don't have any pictures because I had to throw them both away =/ (More on that in a bit!)

Super Barbie Lace Brown


This is the lens I got stuck with because Beautiful Eyes on facebook scammed/screwed me over. I tried for a few months to sell them but I had no luck, especially considering they were prescription. I decided to just try them on for the hell of it, despite the fact that things with my Melon lenses didn't work out.

*~*~*

Comfort: 2/5 - While they didn't make me want to rip my eyes out, these are very uncomfortable. As soon as I put them in I could feel them all over my eyes and they slid around constantly ( I suspect this has something to do with my base curve, 8.3). I couldn't wear them for longer than a few minutes. Trashed them immediately without realizing people would probably want to see pics of them D:

Color/Design: 3/5 - If you want a lace pattern, buy the Japan Barbie Eye Lace/Princess Lace instead. The lace pattern on this is just... I dunno, there's something off about it. It's kind of... sloppy. And the brown color is more of a gold. The lens just made my eyes look odd in general.

Enlargement: 4/5 - Not bad. Not big and dramatic like my i.Fairys, but still noticeable by others. I would guess that the real diameter is something like 14.7 or 14.8.

Next up,

Super Barbie Melon Brown


I bought these from Ying Lens House on facebook, and she's such a sweetheart and offers AMAZING service! Unlike the Cunty McCunterson that runs Beautiful Eyes, she will actually refund you when she makes a mistake about something being in stock. I had just had that horrible experience a few days earlier and went straight to her and when I found out I already paid her for something that turned up to be out of stock I panicked. >_< But she was SO NICE about it, despite the fact that I may have been a little mean. Of course I apologized and promised to promote her to the ends of the earth! I really wish I could wear Super Barbies because her prices are AMAZING, unfortunately I can't so I'll have to admire her business from afar. ;~; On to the review!

*~*~*

Comfort: 2.7/5 - I actually really liked these lenses, which is why it pains me to say this. They are just not very comfortable at all. This was my very first pair, and I thought that it was normal to experience them slowly migrating in my eyes throughout the day. They aren't as painful as the Lace lenses but I could still feel them in my eyes. On top of that they popped out constantly, it was a huge annoyance. In the end I had to toss them (again, this is before I considered the possibility of doing reviews of them @____@)

Color/Design: 5/5 - For a while I debated on whether or not to get the black ones, and I am glad I decided on the brown. It's a very dark, natural ring of brown, and in certain lighting can look black! Great natural brown lens.

Enlargement: 4/5 - These are pretty big, noticeable enlargement. The coloring is printed pretty close to the edge. Again, the real diameter is probably 14.7/14.8mm.


So these were my first and last Super Barbie lenses! Would I recommend them? Well, if your base curve is closer to the standard 8.6, and you can deal with them popping out, then yea. They are a decent "budget" lens, just didn't work for me.

i.Fairy Super Crystal Brown and Lili's Lens House Review

I put up a review of the i.Fairy Crystal Browns on youtubez.

I'm not a very elegant speaker so I think next time I will just use pictures and annotations <_<

Something I didn't mention in my review is that I decided to measure the lens to double check the diameter, because there seems to be confusion as to what the real diameter is. The entire lens, including the clear area, is like... 15.8mm. Measuring the color only, it's about 15.5mm.

I stupidly forgot to take a picture >: I'll take one soon and add it.

*Edit*

Here are the pics!

I seem to have made a mistake when I read it initially. They are actually 15mm on the dot. But they look so much bigger @__@



Anyway, here's the review :D
