Shop Review: Alice Kawaii

WARNING: This is not a thrifty shop, but any Fairy who saves can afford to splurge every once and a while. ^^v

Welcome another adorable Storenvy shop called Alice Kawaii. I must say that I was so impressed with not only how quickly the package came (as it was arriving to the States from Italy) but also the high quality of each piece!

Here is everything that arrived. The magical pink and blue pegasus necklace and the starry pastel bracelet. I got a free pair of earrings and a business card as well. Onto the details ~




I took lots of pictures of this adorable pegasus necklace but I think the one with my Share Bear stuffed animal photographed the best with my camera. I spent $20.00 USD on this necklace, which is a lot but I have been eyeing it for SUCH a long time that I finally said "what the hell" and bought it. Bye bye two hours of my paycheck ~ TT n TT You were so kind sacrificing yourself for me ~~

Once I got the product it was so worth it. The entire piece is covered in this glittery glaze that shimmers so prettily in the sunlight. . .and also makes it hard to photograph. The craftsmanship is on point! If you have bought clay jewelry before sometimes you will notice a side is unfinished or there are fingerprints or there are just tiny human errors on it. This is so impeccably done, and really the price makes sense. If I wanted to be nit-picky the wand on it has a couple rough edges. That pegasus though. . .wow, it's so dazzling ~

This bracelet was also $20.00 USD. If I am honest it is the most I have ever spent on a jewelry piece. The craftsmanship on the bracelet was nice but there were a couple human errors visible on the record player. Either way I have fallen in love with this bracelet. It too has a glitter coating on everything, except the chains and metal star. The music note and the stars on the lamp and slippers GLOW IN THE DARK. How amazing is that? So I caved and bought this as well.


 Lastly I got a FREE pair of earrings that I have worn several times and absolutely love. They remind me so much of something I would see in Jem and the Holograms. I love that 80s series to death so I was so ecstatic to see these. The glaze work on these is only so-so as air bubbles have appeared in the glaze. Either way I wear these a TON.

Communication: STARS 8 / 10 STARS ~
She listed the package as shipping via Paypal not long after I ordered. Today from Storenvy she sent an email saying it was shipped out and on it's way. . .which is odd because I had already received the package. 2 star subtraction for the confusing shipping dates.
Shipping: STARS 10 / 10 STARS ~
$6.50 USD for what I ordered, which is about reasonable for Italy, so no stars taken away.
Arrival Time: STARS 10 / 10 STARS ~
Items arrived within a couple weeks.
Product Safety: STARS 10 / 10 STARS ~
NONE of the items arrived damaged or broken.
Product Quality: STARS 9.5 / 10 STARS ~
Human errors on wand of pegasus pendant noticeable, human errors on the record player on the bracelet noticeable.

Grand Average Total: STARS 9.5 / 10 STARS ~

Overall experience: If unique is your goal then check out Alice Kawaii! I can't say that this site is certainly the most reasonably priced. . .in fact it's expensive but the product quality is pretty amazing and the seller does give a cute free gift.
