[CLOSED] Firmoo Glasses Giveaway (25 winners!)

 

If you're like me and need to wear prescription glasses beyond hipster fashion frames but don't like spending the big bucks on a designer pair, Firmoo might be your new coffee break browse. Say goodbye to your only-wear-at-home-so-embarrassing metal framed Harry Potters, because this online glasses store offers all new customers their first pair of glasses for free, and you only pay shipping (around $7 in US, other rates here). Since I have a higher prescription, these 1.50 refractive index lenses that come by default may end up being hilariously thick, so a more flattering upgrade would cost $35.95 for super thin 1.60 index or $62.95 for ultra thin 1.67 index. FYI, the 1.50 index free ones only go up to prescriptions +/- 2.00. Not to worry, because Firmoo has kindly sponsored $500 worth of vouchers to their site, and we're breaking it down to 25 winners for $20 each. 25 winners!? That's like a giveaway dream come true :)

I have been admiring oversized tortoiseshell frames lately and like how the brown colour brightens up one's complexion more than square black frames. Firmoo's site is very informative for each pair of glasses, including a picture uploader so you can see how it will look on your face, information on how to measure the space between your eyes for style, clear big detailed photos from every angle, customer/blogger review photos. I will be ordering the pair in the giveaway photo above and am excited to share my thoughts.

[CLOSED] CLAWS Jewelry Giveaway and Review

I am excited to introduce you to CLAWS Jewelry, handmade designs by Ayako Tanaka. Her pieces are unique and statement and sure to turn heads! Since I won the Stitch from WhitWatWear's giveaway, I have been reaching for the simple yet elegant/edgy necklace constantly. Ayako made these two black and gold necklaces specifically for Pandaphilia and I nearly jumped out of my seat when I opened the package. We are giving away the long black bead and gold crystal one. It helps elongate your look and matches anything. The price range of her collection is steep for my budget but I have practically her entire store listed under dream investment accessories.

QUICK REVIEW: The cobra one on the right has a gold overlay snake pendant with an inverted teardrop black onyx stone. It has a beautiful triangular multistrand geometrical effect and hangs mid-neckline. The longer one is gold overlay dipped crystal quartz with a black wooden bead and drapes down to bust height. You can see a bit of the light blue crystal peeping through - I thought that detail was very interesting and made this piece even more special. You can win this one today! Both necklaces are dainty with their thin chains and elegantly simple, perfect for completing any outfit. The colour scheme she chose (gold with black accents) makes it extremely wearable and not overwhelming. I am worried that they might break, so take good care of this art!

[CLOSED] Giveaway: BagBeautiful Medium Handbag Shaper

In celebration of 100,000 pageviews on Pandaphilia (WOOHOO!) I have an exciting giveaway for you today. Erin, the co-founder of Bagbeautiful, reached out to me and wanted to give Pandaphilia readers an opportunity to win one of their products: a Medium Handbag Shaper. It keeps the shape of your beloved bags so you can keep flaunting them for many years to come (like a shoe tree but for purses). It retails for $14 USD and measures 10 x 13 inches. I know that some of my less structured purses could do with a bit of support and pillow-lovin' (doesn't it look like a comfy satin pillow for your purse? haha).

[CLOSED] Poshlocket Jewelry Review + Giveaway

You guys all know that when it comes to jewelry I like pieces that people can see from miles away, with an edgy-yet-pretty feel. Poshlocket is a small jewelry company based in New York and they have all kinds of styles, from dainty and ladylike, to big statement brights, to hefty metal wardrobe staples. They even offer free shipping and returns on all their orders (US only). Today they're so kind to sponsor a giveaway for $25 store credit for their jewelry!

At first glance a lot of their pieces remind me of what I see on Jewelmint, but their average prices are $18-24. They do range up to $50 for certain pieces, so it all depends on the individual product. Each piece is named after girl's name, and there is a necklace with my name too. When I received the Celeste Silver Roped Bracelet, I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the material and how beautiful it looked in person. See how I styled it in this outfit post.

I made a set on Polyvore with my favourite gold jewelry from Poshlocket:

Golden Girl by pandaphilia

Chloé bracelet, $36
White pearl jewelry, $35
Celeste Silver Roped Bracelet, $38
Flo Necklace, $25
Tate Crystal Cross on Black Studs, $26
Nikki Cone Cuff, $20

Now onto a quick review of the Celeste Silver Roped Bracelet: it came in a pink scallop edged soft felt bag - I just adore the cute packaging. The bag smelled strongly of cinnamon as well. The bracelet itself is a sturdy piece with good weight to it. It fits just loosely enough on my wrist so that I can slip it on without undoing the tiny clasp (worried that it'll snap) and tight enough that it doesn't slip right off randomly. I look forward to styling this with many more outfits, since one of my more concrete resolutions this year is to accessorize more on a daily basis.

Three Giveaway Winners

From forever ago until 8/12 8 PM CST, I am going to be living and breathing MCAT problems until it replaces oxygen as my body's main source of air. Breaked for a studying/un-studying tour at Target/Borders/Nordstrom Rack/REI/Bubble Tea/Panera/Starbucks/Pitaya (tax free weekend August 5 to 7 in Missouri). Now breaking only for more C8H10N4O2. Yeah ... time to remove the internet and obsessions about fall colours and fabrics from my mind. Don't worry - I'll be back with a vengeance (we all know I can't quit blogging no matter how hard I try) with more outfits. Forecast: high of 105 and reviews + blog shop grand opening. HOT.

The new winner of the JStyleshopper giveaway is Fashion Addict (90/172 entries). The second winner of the Alonai shoes giveaway is NEW WINNER (80/204). Finally, the winner of the Apothica giveaway is peniam (50/67). Congrats ladies! Please email me your mailing address within 72 hours or I will select new winners.

Stay tuned for more giveaways from amazing sponsors! : ) Thanks for staying with me and being patient, loves. It means a whole lot in lbs of moral support!

[CLOSED] Apothica $25 Giveaway

My newest sponsor, Apothica.com is hosting a $25 gift card giveaway for Pandaphilia readers! This makeup and skincare site offers some of the most popular products and carries many brands like Paul & Joe, Essie, YSL, Too Faced, MAC, Clinique, etc. The site is relatively easy to navigate (but the links to next search page are only at the top, not the bottom of the page).

Baby Quasar is a cool skin cleanser that uses infrared and red wavelengths to rejuvenate the skin. I wish my humble system (hands and some kind of cleanser gel) did that! Apparently Baby Quasar stimulates the production of collagen, which is the natural polymer that makes your skin firm. Each is pretty expensive though and I personally can't afford it, but it's at-home anti-aging skin treatment that may be worth the investment. It comes in Pink or Blue, each targeting different problems.

Here are my picks! I've become quite minimalistic with makeup and mostly use eyeliner, concealer, and lipstick (add blush and brow gel when I have time) to bring life to my face for outfits, so here are what I would choose as my makeup bag necessities for around $25

1. Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner in Black Ink $21

2. Clinique Advanced Concealer in Matte Medium $14

3. Chanel Rouge Coco Hydrating Creme Lip Colour #19 Gabrielle $38.16

4. Smashbox Brow Tech To Go in Brunette $25.70

5. Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion, 4.2 fl oz $24.50

6. Too Faced Shadow Insurance Eyeshadow Primer $17.80

7. Deborah Lippmann Across the Universe Nail Polish $18

[CLOSED] JStyleShopper $100 Giveaway

Like Asian fashion but live too far away to shop for those pieces you keep seeing on the internet? Look no further! JStyleShopper sells Korean, Japanese, Chinese, Taiwanese, and Hong Kong fashion and is based in the United States. JStyleShopper is sponsoring a $100 store credit to readers of Pandaphilia!

JStyleShopper carries clothes with a theme: ruffles, lace, bows, girly and pretty things. Their pieces are also great for petites, because Asian fashion tends to account for smaller frames. I purchased a couple tee set from them last fall and was happily surprised with the durable and quality material. Remember this photoshoot? Read more on my shopping experience there.

Here are my picks from JStyleShopper. The couple tee set is so funny and cute. The guy tee says in Chinese: I just wash the dishes, but don't eat. The girl tee says: I just eat food, but don't do dishes. I would want the set in white hehe. My boyfriend is the good cook, I'm pretty useless in the kitchen. But doing dishes is my wind-down time, or it used to be. Now living in an apartment involves actually eating food we cook and washing lots and lots of dishes x_x The legwarmers and scarf are things I didn't pick up in Taiwan during night markets but wanted to.

 

Now onto the giveaway! Please read everything carefully and good luck!
