Pearls Are a Girl's Best Friend~ Born Pretty Store Pearl Review

Happy Friday everyone! This week was finals week for me, and school has been quite hectic, but I've got another post up for you guys~ This is a courtesy of Born Pretty Store, which specializes in nail art, but has many other things in store! Today I'll be showing you the 3mm Shiny White Half Round Pearl! These come in 3 sizes, 4mm, 3mm, and 2mm.

 I started with 2 coats of Sinful Colors Ruby Ruby, then superglued the pearls on.


  I really like the multicolored reflection it gives off, I think there's a term for that someone please correct me lol. It catches the eye a lot more than just regular pearls, and I feel that the 3mm's are a decent size too. If you have smaller or shorter nails, I would go for the 2mm ones.



The packaging is adorable, it comes in a little glass bottle filled with these pearls. So artistic! :D I have one complaint though, it's just that the lid of the bottle is hard to open because it's small and hard to grasp. All in all, I really love these! They fit on my nail really nicely, and the iridescence they give off is really gorgeous~ I would give these a:
5/5
Born Pretty Store also has tons of other nail art supplies too! Whatever you can think of, they have it! I have a 10% off code for my readers here, feel free to use it :D


Heheheh, that's it guys, have a wonderful day and talk to you next time!
Love,
Christine

KKCenterHK Lashes ES-A514 Review~~ Plus, 10% Off!

Happy Friday guys! This week has been pretty hectic for me because it was my birthday, and also my first test >.< But thankfully, that's done and over with (: Today I'll be showing you some beautiful lashes that  KKCenterHK sent me~ These are the ES-A514's and they're crisscrossed and brown, very natural looking.
 As you can see from the differences between my two eyes, the lashes really volumize my natural ones, and the brown color is subtle but very unique.




 These come with clear bands, which I think are the best kind because they're the most subtle and natural. The bands on these lashes however, are really long, so remember to trim them down before wearing! Also, I noticed that the hair is very shiny, so that may be a  problem for some people, but I'm okay with it.


I actually do really enjoy the design of these lashes, but the hair is shiny, and can come off as very fake. Also, the band is long and requires extra trimming. These are just small complaints that I have though, all in all, I would give these a :
4.75/5
 Again, these can be purchased here for only $15.44, coming up to $3 a pair! Not too bad (:
Use this code at checkout at http://www.kkcenterhk.com/index.html will give you 10% off your entire purchase~

That's it for today's post guys! Thank you for reading~

Julep October Bombshell Box Ft. Born Pretty Store Bows~

Hi sweeties~ Happy Monday! I had such a crazy weekend haha so glad I'm not spending my Friday nights alone in my room :P Anyway, I just received my October Julep Box last week and I'm super excited to show you the nail art I came up with! :3


One coat of Julep's Valerie on index, middle, and pinky, one coat of Julep's Cleopatra on thumb and ring, topped with a coat of American Apparel's Supernova
The bow on my ring finger can be found here and the bow on my pinky can be found here.
 Love how Valerie shimmers in the light!




Again, I feel that the packaging is really nice, and the shapes of the bottles are very unique. Cleopatra however, was called a "black latex", but from the below pictures you'll see that it actually dries to a satin/matte finish.... Not too impressed by such a standard shade, but the smell and the formula on both were great! Cleopatra needed a thicker coat, but both were very opaque on the first coat.


I still can't believe that these polishes smell good, hahaha xD
I've been wearing these on my nails for quite a while now, and I've gotten so many compliments on them! So happy that I received this October box~
That's it for today's post! Talk to you soon~
