Active-Crystal Headphones

The $165 Swarovski Active-Crystals headphones. Guess this is one of a earphones specially created for women. They still have this with necklace and it costed $239 or more?



This is the most tedious item to be removed from its packaging!!! I have never buy earphones thats packed like this.........

So many steps to removing it from the box/packaging. If I am a bit more rough, I would have damaged the plastic earplugs? I guess, they have to make the packaging look more 'classy' to make buyers feel justified to pay so much for earphones?
Did u see the 'Active-crystals' or 'Philips-Swarovski' wordings? Those are laser-etched words. Will they faint off after some time?


Bling bling. The booklet stated that its 'designed by women for women'. Something like this.
The white straps on the earphones are rubberband to hold it to the plastic packaging.
If u buy ala carte crystals from outside, it should be rather expensive (if u manage to find it in the first place). Plus, you cant possibly stick crystal of this size to a earphone. Nowadays people like to DIY their stuffs with lots of blings-swarovski. They paste those tiny flat base swarovski stones onto handphone/earphones/camera etc. (I have done it on synthetic leather photo frame)
But for earphones, the end result might be rather fake or weird because most earphones looks 'plastic'?
I read that for this philips-swarovski series, its made of stainless steel and fabrics cord (exterior). But i am not sure if its chrome or what.
Anyway, it should be more lasting than normal earphones because there's no rubber component that might turn sticky after years. Those normal earphones straps tend to become sticky after few yrs. Guess they slowly breakdown. Downside is the fabrics cord might get dirted easily.

Ok, the earphones isnt THAT pretty (not as bling as diamonds hehe) but its still pretty and unique!
I am putting this in my display cabinet first to display it for a while. Switch on the spotlight & will be like Swarovski showroom display hehehehehee. Ok, I'm waiting for a chance to 'flash' it on the streets. Lalalaaaaaaaa

Gmarket 1st Order

Random display of pics... from my first Gmarket Order... but some stuffs are not in here.


This is from that seller whom has cancelled 2 out of my 3 items order. Then the thing is, i have to pay shipping and imagine end up buying 1 hairclip and pay domestic shipping.......... isnt this hairclip expensive?!?! Worse, its scratched!!! Very pissed with the seller. Maybe i should take a macro pic of this and post up here.

=I should have complained to Gmarket but its too late. So remember, if u received e/s palette (chipped off like mine), scratched items etc, just email Gmarket global and see if they can help u. No harm trying things out. Its very annoying to pay for something thats defective. We pay full amt, real cash. Not discounted price. Tsktsk



My bling bling gold bar wallet!!! The surface is also gold glitters inside that patent leather!!! Amazing right? Regret ordering the gold because the red is sooooo much nicer. How i know? Because i ordered 1 each. Gave the red to my mum. And I am going to buy the red again for myself. HUMPF!!!


Shower foam.......... initially i thought the free gift is one facial wash tube but that turns out to be scrub or moisturiser. I like the cleanser from this range.



Hair accessories from another seller. This seller is better because things are packed nicely into the box.



The accessories are pretty expensive. I end up paying $30 plus to 40 for 2 necklaces. Bought them because they are more unique.
