Farewell Oasap!

I placed another order on the Oasap website, few weeks ago... if you're not sure what Oasap is, you can have a read to my previous post here... anyway, I was highly disappointed with what I received!

First of all, consistency! The box says Hermes and the bracelet Gucci... then, the website never mentioned anywhere that it is a pure and disgusting fake!
I never buy fakes and I don't care for them; actually, they even detract value from an item, in my opinion and I rather have the high street or the real deal.
On the picture on the website, you can only see a 'g' and again, as I said before, it doesn't say the gucci name anywhere in the description... I understand the disclosure 'the item may be slightly different from the picture' but this is a whole new level of deception. I'm happy with high street interpretation of the latest catwalk trend but purely copying a design is just wrong and bad taste!
 Although the cuff is quite nice, per se - I like the colour and the texture of the leather and the pink gold metal - the fact that there's that brand name there, it really puts me off from wearing it; I would have been happier if it simply said Oasap, instead.
Also, these marks on the metal don't seem to come off: they're from the protective film that I peeled off so it's basically glue residue. I polished but they are still there... bottom line - failure all round!
Sweet Candy Shaped Bobble Earrings
I also ordered these earrings - these are exactly what I expected... not much!
Simple, plastic studs but again, the colour is nothing as on the website: sure enough is green but I was expecting a pastel green.
 Unfortunately, they also broke the first time I wore them: basically, they just came unglued (easily sorted) but still not acceptable.

On top of that, I believe this website is unjustifiable pricey: the orange bracelet is $46 - really, would YOU pay that?
In the end, I came to the conclusion that I don't really want my blog to be associated with this poor quality merchandise... come on, how possibly could I sell you this sh*t!
I know that technically these items were given to me for free but If I don't like them, they have no value for me and I don't need any more clutter so...
...thank you but no thank you!

Introducing / Oasap

You have, probably, read quite a lot about Oasap website recently...
If you have a blog - don't need to be specifically about fashion, beauty blogs are also accepted - you can apply for the Oasap Fashion Hunter Program. 
Based on how many followers you have (minimum 300), they will add some store credit into your account that you can use to buy from the website. Delivery is also free.
Once accepted, you only need to add the banner on your blog (you'll find mine on the bottom right)... and start shopping. ;)
For what I understand, you need to be invited by a member so if you'd like to apply for this scheme, leave your email address below and I'll forward it to the website (or you can also email me privately, if you prefer).  I think that if they accept you, I'll get some extra store credit and so on... once you are part of the program you can invite friends and get bonuses, too... 

When you receive the parcel, all you have to do is review the item within 7-15 days - including photos and a link back to the website/product page.
Then, send the link to your blogpost to them; they will review it and give you more store credit and so on...

Here is the first item I just received:



The bag is available in different colours but I liked how the blue & mustard look together.
It is the perfect size for me: I'm not a student anymore so I don't need huge bags (these satchels all tend to be very wide) but I want to have enough room for an umbrella (I live in Scotland, you know) and maybe a magazine.
Inside, you'll also find a zip compartment and 2 front pockets (iphone and lipgloss pour moi!).
 I have used it every day since I got it and I can report is very roomy and versatile; I wore it on one shoulder, across the body or just carried in my hand. It is not leather but it's so soft and waterproof (!!! hehe).




so... what do you think? Interested in joining this program? :)
