My Lost Clutch and Service Hero

Back in April 2012, I have placed an order online to buy this avant-garde Vlieger & Vandam gun embossed clutch bag. The clutch was supposed to be delivered to my US Aramex address by FedEx. For some weird reason FedEx delivered it to my old Aramex address. And when I noticed the delay in receiving my order, I contacted Aramex, who couldn't offer much help because according to them it wasn't their fault that FedEx delivered it to the old Aramex address, and FedEx refused to send someone to retrieve it, because it was already received by a "local broker", which until today I'm not sure what that meant. To cut a long story short, I lost hope and was very frustrated, so informed Vlieger & Vandam of what happened. To my delight, they offered to send me another clutch to compensate for my lost one, all on their expense. And I'm happy to announce that I have received it a few weeks ago. Now THAT's customer service. How many of us suffered from the quality of service offered by some retailers in Kuwait or the region? This brings me to my other subject of the day, Service Hero. 

Service Hero is the only website in the Arab world that measures service quality standards. Through it, you are able to rate service quality for over 400 places you frequent. You can find out more about them here.

The Service Hero team have devised an online survey to assess service standards across different industries by real customers like you. Voting only takes a few minutes and your voice will be a platform for positive change, and that's not all! You could win KD 200! Yup! Then you can buy the bang-bang clutch! Twinsies!

Miu Miu Pays Tribute to the Middle East

Everyone who knows me, knows that I have a soft spot for bag charms. They're fun, cute, and add a dose of irresistible character to your plain handbag. So when I got the news about Miu Miu paying tribute to the Middle Eastern culture by presenting an exclusive playful yet multifunctional accessories in luxurious precious skin, I got excited intrigued. The round-shaped charms has the Arabic alphabet, each piece presenting a letter design with metallic hues and vibrant colors. They're cute, nothing groundbreaking. I'm not sure if these bags charms would step up my bag charms game, but I guess it depends on their price tag and how "exclusively" exclusive they are. Maybe they'll grow on me? I don't know... What do you think? The charms should be available exclusively in  Miu Miu   Boutiques throughout our region.

Sephora Opening Soon At The Avenues II

Beauty Junkies rejoice! The famous retailer of perfumes and cosmetics and the leading beauty chain in Europe and US, Sephora , will be opening soon at The Avenues Phase II. Personally, I like Sephora not only because of its tempting cosmetic selection, but mainly because I don't feel pressured by sales associates to buy stuff that I don't really need. I can actually touch and try the products without having the sales associate stalking me around and giving me some unnecessary comments about my skin/make-up. I think Sephora will make it big here if it sells its high-end cosmetics which are unavailable at other beauty stores/pharmacies in Kuwait. Does anyone have any product recommendations or favorites?
