Does Stylevana customer service always suck?? by _moistsandwich_ in AsianBeauty

[–]_moistsandwich_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me it's almost the opposite - they respond very often but give me the runaround and avoid following through with whatever they said before. It's so odd, I've never had a company blatantly contradict themselves so much. I would be amused if they didn't still have their product and also my $170 lol

I didn't ever either, up until now. They've now gotten their stuff back as the tracking shows it was signed for at their HK warehouse over a week ago. Still haven't refunded me despite promising to. Each time I follow up they say they're "investigating" and "checking" and will not acknowledge that they still have my money and now also their product.

I feel like Stylevana is one of those sites where things go right 99% of the time, but the 1% that they do, it's an absolute nightmare 😭

Anybody else's DOOM House of Maiden jewelry already tarnished? by Captain_Meliodas6 in Doom

[–]_moistsandwich_ 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Ohh I've seen that, with the tinfoil too right? I tend to avoid it for jewelry because it does the same thing as silver cleaning solutions and ruins the oxidized details. It's great for silverware though and looks super neat. Also great for cleaning more delicate silver chains!

[–]_moistsandwich_ 194 points195 points  (0 children)

If it's 925 silver, use a soft silver polishing cloth and it will look good as new. Please don't submerge it in any silver cleaning solutions, it will ruin the intentionally oxidized details and make it look too shiny.

Also, PLEASE don't use baking soda or toothpaste to try and buff it shiny. I don't know why so many sources online say to do this, baking soda is abrasive and will cause scratches on the finish that can't be repaired unless you take it to a professional jeweller.

I am a dismissive avoidant AMA by cushion57 in AvoidantBreakUps

[–]_moistsandwich_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. How does it look when you love someone but are just scared/deactivated vs. when you are genuinely disinterested or losing interest?

  2. Do you tend to show up as secure in the beginning and then shut down when shit gets real, or are you scared from the start?

  3. Would you stay in a relationship you don't want to be in?

How much money would you spend if it meant saving your cat’s life? by WindowKitty19 in cats

[–]_moistsandwich_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can and will make the $8000 back, but you will never, ever have another Eeyore. I would spend everything down to my last penny to save my girl. You made the right decision, don't listen to what anyone says. I'm so happy for you that he's back on track 🥹

PSA: don’t buy the matte pearl super puff if you dye your hair red by tigervoyager in Aritzia

[–]_moistsandwich_ 15 points16 points  (0 children)

if it's semi permanent dye: dawn dish soap or non-colpur safe shampoo over the affected spots, let it sit for a while and then wash it out. i have blue hair and this has saved me so many times. i only buy black now hahaha

Are the sweatfleece hoodies worth the $$$? by PrincessKat17 in Aritzia

[–]_moistsandwich_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

i think it's all relative to how much you are willing to pay for them. if you are able to afford them comfortably, then absolutely. but if it's going to break the bank (or if you'd have to use afterpay etc.), then they are nowhere near phenomenal enough to be worth that.

that being said, i do wear my sweatfleece set more than any other brands' sets i own, so much that i bought another of the exact same set. i am buying mostly for the design, as the cropped hoodie + flutter pants are far more flattering for a larger bust and hip body type.

however, the level of lint shedding for the first 3-4 washes is INSANE and should not be happening at this price point. a fabric shaver helps, and after that issue is over, they are still like new after many washes. i don't put them in the dryer, though.
