NAILS!

Introducing a new line of nail polishes called Spy Princess.
If you like glitter, these are the polishes for you
because a lot of there polishes are glittery.
Spy Princess sent me some polishes to swatch and try;
and let me tell you, they are actually good quality.
But, the smell of the polishes is kinda strong, but I just love the colors!
I actually made a gradient effect using the blue color, 
but somehow I accidentally deleted the picture =/ sowwie!
The polishes only needs 1 coat and it was about a week when I started to notice any chipping.

Sweets Review II

More sugar high reviews! 
Lushleys, all the way from England had sent me a bunch on chocolates and you know girls and chocolates.. ;) 
For all you chocolate lovers, beware! You're going to go insane after reading this.

"Hi and welcome to Lushleys.

We started our business after friends and family repeatedly asked us not to turn up without more of the Chocolates we had brought along with us.

Our chocolates are a quality product with high Cocoa content and are made with the finest ingredients.
We hope you enjoy these products as much as our friends and family have."

Now let me introduce you to the chocolates! 

Waffle Almond Clusters
+ Crunch bars texture
+ lovin the almonds
+ milk chocolate 
+ not too sweet, just right
+ very good if you like almonds (which i do!)
+ packed with almond bits in every bite

Corn Crunch
+ basically a sweet corn dipped in chocolate
+ coco puff cereal texture inside and a hard m&m coating outside
+ taste like sweet corn chips
+ even though they have different colors, they all taste the same
+ i recommend to try this if you like sweet corn chips :)

Mixed Strawberries
+ dried strawberries inside w/ white chocolate or milk chocolate coating
+ strawberry is sour
+ i prefer fresh chocolate covered strawberries compared to dried strawberries
+ chocolate is really good!!

Caramel Truffles
+ filling explodes with the first bite
+ caramel filling has a strong alcohol taste
+ caramel is thick
+ my first time trying chocolate with alcohol

Almond Clusters
+ resembles M&Ms but with almonds! 
+ very good!
+ 1 huge almond piece coated in milk chocolate
+ more of an almond taste than chocolate
+ good if you don't like too much sweets

Hazelnut Hearts
+ waffle texture
+ can't really taste the hazelnut
+ i think this is dark chocolate because it was kinda bitter
+ sure do like the waffle texture 
+ I was kinda sad, I wanted to taste more of the hazelnut 


They were also so kind to send me a random box of chocolates! 
It was so cute!

She had sent me sone samples to try out and I wanted to share them with you guys.

Chocolate Peanut Butter Browie
+ melted when received (probably because the mailman left it outside. So I immediately placed it in the fridge)
+ peanut butter and chocolate is the perfect combo
+ too sweet
+ could use actual peanuts for some crunch



Date Walnut Bread
 + smelled really good
+ right amount of walnuts in each bite
+ was a bit dry
+ could use some sugar
+ is called "bread" but texture is like a cake
+ the bread itself has its own distinct taste.. but kinda has a weird after taste 



Orange Pound Cake
+ actually taste like oranges and the right amount of flavor
+ moist cake
+ my favorite!
+ could use some orange zest

Collar Brooch


I love collar brooches! There are many clothing stores that sell tops with detailed collars, but why buy them if you can just buy a plain collar top and add the accessory yourself?
You can mix and match accessories too!
The brooches can be worn with anything that has a collar.
This collar brooch [$10] is a pin on accessory. 
I love how the both of the ends are different; one's a spike and the other is a triangle stud. 
The quality is really good. It reminds me of something you can purchase at Forever 21. 
You can purchase this brooch at MYadoria
But, if your looking for other accessories, they also have cute bracelets and necklaces.
I hope you guys check it out!
Very cute stuff! :3

Also, if you're wondering how I paired this brooch, watch my outfit video :)
