Ipsy Bag Review

Hi girls I'm back, and yes for all of you who asked I did get married. I will post some entries of some DIY I did for my wedding, and also pictures of the wedding. As for now lets start with the review of the Ipsy bag subscription.

For those of you who are living in Pluto, the ipsy bag is a monthly subscription, owned by Michelle Phan (a youtuber beauty guru). It cost $10 a month and you get a makeup bag and 5 deluxe samples, and sometimes full sized beauty products. Of the others monthly subscriptions what I like about ipsy is that you get mostly beauty products and of course a makeup bag.

I have been subscribed to ipsy since November 2012, so I have received 8 bags in total, so I think I can tell you and accurate review of the subscription, because not all months are going to have amazing products.

This month bag was my favorite so far. I love the actual bag which is rare because I have hated the other 7, I'm not expecting a high quality bag for $10, but at least a cute one. I love the color, the material, great for summer season, and the fact that has the ipsy stamp outside the bag, not inside as almost always.






































As for  the products inside I felt in love with the coola mineral sunscreen with tint, mine was in rose essence. I'm actually going to purchase the full sized product with the 30% ipsy discount code.

Big sexy hair weather proof (humidity resistant spray). I actually don't use hairspray, because I almost never use hot tool products, and when I do my hair holds curls all day. But I loved the sized its perfect for travel, and for that special occasions you actually need a hairspray. I was so curious that I curl my hair and used it, and I loved it. It holds curls without making your hair sticky.

Pop beauty crayon in fuchsia flirt. This was another product that I was totally looking to buy it, but is out of stock in the website. Is creamy, stays for a long time, and it is a crayon.

Demeter roll on perfume oil in salt air. I though I would hate this product but I actually like it, not that much to buy the full version, because I never leave the house without perfume on. But it is great to throw it in your purse for those long hot days.

California Collection bhcosmetics palette. This is the product that I didn't like. These eyeshadows are gorgeous colors but the pigmentation is horrible, I like coastal scents shadows better. I will still use them because they are a great combination of colors to travel. With my neutral palette and this 3 vibrant color you can do any look.

Overall this month bag was awesome, the products and the bag I will be using, and I'm so happy that I discover the coola sunscreen through ipsy bag, because it make my $10 bucks worth. Thanks to ipsy I also found my favorite product for my hair that I can't live without (josie maran argain oil).

Pros and Cons of the ipsy bag in general

Pros:

1. You can try 5 to 6 products, and discover new products you didn't knew about.
2. You will probably get that want thing you don't want to buy but are dying to try.
3. You get a makeup bag every month.
4. It is just $10 a month and you get more than that.
5. You take a quiz to get personalized items.
6. You can interact with other subscribers through the website, see previews of the bag, tutorials on the products etc.
7. Can cancel anytime
8. It's like christmas every month

Cons:

1. Not all month products are that good.
2. Your personalized quiz is not so personal, since everyone get almost the same things.
3. Some bags are ugly, but that is personal preference.
4. You spend $120 a year in subscription, so if you hate most of the products that year, you have lost a lot of money.
5. You never now what are you going to get until the charge you and sent your package.
6. If you don't  cancel before the 1st of every month you get charged.

Hope you like this review.

Ted Baker Wallet Review

Hi girls here I am once again as promised with a review of the Ted Baker wallet. I got to say I'm in love with this wallet, since I saw it on the website, but now that I owned the wallet for 1 month I love it even more. I'm the kind of girl who love big wallets, not that I own a lot of cards but I keep a lot of junk in my wallet like bunch of receipts.  But as an owner of a Rebecca Minkoff mini mac clutch and owner of a lot more none designer clutches, I knew it was time for me to buy a small wallet, with a lot of space. After a lot of research I found this Ted Baker wallet and couldn't believed how such a beauty has a lot of space. I always though that french wallet were gorgeous and sophisticated but this one it's a must haves.

The leather is super soft inside and out, which to me was a surprise because I thought that patent leather were stiff but this one is not, believe me. The inside lining has a cute dog in a cotton material. It has space for 6 cards and to 2 sections for money or notes. One of my favorites part is coin side with a crystal bobble with the letters T and B and in the outside of the wallet you have a zippered compartment for extra coins. How wonderful right? All the colors are amazing, I selected the black one because all my wallets are pastel colors, and I wanted a black one for my black Rebeca Minkoff mac clutch, and when I saw that, the inside leather was hot pink I couldn't resist. As for the price the wallet cost USD $120 with free shipping.

I hope this wallet last a long time it sure looks like it, I even want the bigger version of this wallet in a cute print. But I will let you be the judge of it. What do you think of the wallet?

Kisses,

Debs

Hola Chicas aquí estoy como prometido, con una reseña de la wallet de Ted Baker. Tengo que decir que estoy enamorada de esta wallet, desde que la vi en la página web, y ahora que la tengo hace un mes la amo más. Yo soy el tipo de chica que me gustan las wallet grandes, y no porque tenga muchas tarjetas, sino porque pongo un sin numero de basura en ella, como papeles y recibos. Pero desde hace tiempo quería una wallet pequeña que fuera lo suficientemente cómoda para poderla usar con mis clutches o carteras pequeñas, sin tener que preocuparme por tirar mi tarjetas, id y dinero en la cartera, porque mis wallets no cabían en ellas.  Después de investigar cual era la wallet perfecta encontré esta de Ted Baker y no podía creer como una wallet tan hermosa y compacta tuviera tanto espacio. Así que la compré sin pensarlo, y aquí estoy haciéndoles una reseña.

La piel de esta cartera es extremadamente suave, para mi fue sorprendente porque nunca pensé que el "patent leather" fuera tan suave. El interior tiene piel color rosa brillante y en el área del dinero esta cubierto por tela de algodón con un estampado de perros hermosos. Tiene espacio para poner 6 tarjetas y 2 bolsillos para dinero o papeles, también tiene 2 bolsillos escondidos detrás de los espacios para tarjetas donde pongo las tarjetas extra y que no utilizo a menudo. También tiene un espacio interior para las modelas con 2 cristales que tienen la letra T y B y uno extra afuera para colocar más monedas. Adoro este estilo de wallets francesas son sofisticadas y chic. La wallet viene en muchos colores bellos, escogí la negra para que pegara con mi clutch de Rebecca Minkoff, y cuando vi que el interior era rosado más todavía. La wallet costó USD$120 con envio gratis.

Espero que me dure por mucho tiempo, aparenta ser duradera. Me encantaría tener la versión grande de esta wallet en un dineño brillante. ¿Qué piensas de la wallet? 

Besos,

Debs

Romwe.com Haul and Review

Hola chicas hermosas, aquí les tengo un pequeño haul y review de romwe.com, para las que no sepan que es, es un website que vende ropa, accesorios, zapatos y piezas vintage que proviene de China. Es bastante famoso en la comunidad de fashion bloggers y sobretodo en chictopia.  Esta es la segunda vez que compro en el website pues quise darles una segunda oportunidad porque la primera vez no fue tan placentera.

La primera vez la ropa se tardo mas de 1 mes en llegar, y varias veces le escribí a la compañía y aunque me contestaron siempre rápido y dispuestos a ayudarme y complacerme, fue una pesadilla para mi porque 2 o 3 artículos que compre ya no los tenían en stock, las otras piezas que si tenían las necesitaba para ocasiones especiales estas navidades pasadas y llegaron mucho después. Luego de tanta preocupación cuando recibo mi paquete me decepcioné tanto porque la calidad de la ropa no es buena. Después de todo decidí darles otra oportunidad y compre estas chaquetas el 19 de febrero, fueron enviadas el 26 de febrero y las recibí el 9 de marzo, que son 19 días de espera, es bastante, pero fue mucho menos que la última vez, y ya estaba preparada mentalmente.

Ahora si el momento de la verdad, cuando abro el paquete un poco de decepción igual que la ultima vez. Yo se que las chaquetas son Faux leather, pero tenia un olor tan desagradable que en menos de 5 minutos en mis manos me tomo 3 lavadas para eliminar el olor. Así que no los podré utilizar hasta por lo menos de 3 a 4 días afuera dejando que se refresquen a ver si se les vaya el olor.

Aparte de eso no se ven de tan buena calidad y parece mas plástico, para pagar USD $77.99 por cada uno. Otra cosa que note es que me enviaron las 2 chaquetas en Medium cuando yo las ordene Small, me gustan que los blazers y las chaquetas me queden ajustadas al cuerpo  para que lo moldeen. Aun así el medium me queda bien, no enviaron el tamaño correcto.

Pros  de romwe.com
1. El shipping es gratis a todo el mundo y sin mínimo de compra.
2. Siempre consigo un código de descuento la primera vez fue de 20% y la segunda 30%, así que en total por las chaquetas pague USD $120.98.
3. Todos los días traen piezas nuevas
4. Cada pieza de ropa es única y chic y fashion, son diseños que es raro encontrar en cualquier tienda por ese precio.
5. Los precios son bastante economicos varian de 30 a 60 0 70 dolares, claro que hay piezas mas caras y otras mas económicas.
6. Tienen un excelente servicio al cliente te contestan el mismo día o el día siguiente muy profesional.

Cons:
1. El tiempo de espera para que llegue tu artículo es muy largo.
2. La calidad no es la mejor bastante similar a la de forever 21 con precios muchos mas caros. Yo adoro forever 21 porque siento que obtengo por lo que pago, pero en romwe siento que pago mas por lo que obtengo.
3. Las fotos de la ropa en el website no todas tienen una modelo, donde un pueda apreciar como el articulo luciría en una persona.

Para resumir tengo una relación de amor y odio con romwe adoro ir a su website porque tienen ropa tan fashion y hermosa, pero cuando la recibo no cumple con mis expectativas, aun así quiero seguirles dando otra oportunidad mas aunque me llamen masoquista.

Espero que les haya ayudado a aquellas que estén interesadas en comprar en romwe, si tienen alguna duda me dejan saber.

Besos,
Debs

Hello beautiful girls, here is a haul and  a little review of romwe.com, for those of you that doesn't know what Romwe is, it is a website that sells clothing, accessories, shoes and vintage pieces coming from China. It is quite famous in the community of fashion bloggers and especially in chictopia. This is the second time I have bought from them.

The first time the clothes took more than 1 month to arrived and several times I wrote to the company and although they always answered quickly and were willing to help me and please me, it was a nightmare for me because 2 or 3 items was out of stock, the other pieces I ordered were for Christmas celebration and they came much later. After all that nightmare when I received my package I was quite dissapointed, because of the quality of the clothes, wasn't that great at all. After all I decided to give them another chance and purchased these jackets on February 19, they were sent on February 26 and received on March 9, which are 19 days of waiting, it's a lot, but was much less than last time, and I was ready mentally prepared.

Now, the moment of truth, when I open the package, I was a bit of disappointed like the last time. I know the jackets were Faux leather jackets, but they have an awful smells almost like fish. So I will not be able to use the for at least 3 to 4 days, because I have to  let them out so the smell hopefully dissapear, or probably I will have to wash them.

The jackets didn't look as good as it seems in the pictures, they look more plastic in person, and were quite pricey for the quality USD $ 77.99 each. Another thing I noticed is that they sent me the 2 jackets in size Medium when I ordered it in Small. Even though they fit I though the small would definitely fit me better.

Pros of romwe.com

1. The shipping is free worldwide and with no minimum purchase.
2. I always get a discount code, the first time was 20%, and the second 30%, so in total pay jackets $ 120.98 USD.
3. Every day the stock new pieces
4. Each piece is unique and chic clothing and fashion, the designs are rarely found in any store for that price.
5. Prices are economic, range from 30 to 60 0 70 dollars
6. They have an excellent customer service will answer the same day or the next day  and very polite.


Cons:
1.  The items take forever to arrived.
2. The quality is not the best, quite similar to forever 21 but expesive. I love forever 21 because I feel I get what I pay for, but at romwe I feel I pay more money and get less quality.
3. The mayority of the photos of the items on the website doesn't have a model wearing the item, which is quite difficult to figure out how it would look on you, specially when they have a lot of one size items.

Bottom line I have a love-hate relationship with romwe, I love going to their website because they are so fashionable and beautiful clothes, but the things I have order haven't met my expectations. So I will keep ordering from them.

I hope this review helped those who are interested in buying from romwe, if you have any questions let me know.

Haul: HRH Collection

Este articulo sera un Haul y opinión acerca de las prendas de HRH Collection. Me he dado cuenta que son bastantes famosas no solo en los blogs también en tumblr y en instragram. Espero que lo disfruten y les sirvan para aquellas que estan interesadas en alguna pieza de Alexandra la dueña y diseñadora de la tienda online.

1. Servicio al cliente: Excelente. Alex contesto todos mis emails en un día o menos, que considero que es bastante rápido, tomando en cuenta que todas las compañias online te piden un tiempo de hasta 48 horas para responderte.

2. Variedad: tiene una amplia variedad de prendas considerando que son diseñados y hechos a mano.

3. Disponibilidad: La tienda carece de esto, casi todos los artículos puestos están sold out. Y si logras pescar algo, puedes comprar. Ella usualmente en twitter y facebook escribe cuando las prendas están disponibles nuevamente, pero en menos de 1 hora ya se han acabado.

4.Calidad: Creo que la calidad es bastante buena, solo llevo una semana con ellos como para  poder responder honesta mente, pero se nota que no se pondrán negros como las prendas de fantasía.

5. Comodidad: Los collares parecen pesados pero no lo son en lo absoluto, no molestan y son cómodos y versátiles pueden vestir cualquier atuendo.

6. Precio: El Ombre Noir Necklace me costo US$45 dolares, y los Nautica Rope Gauge US$25 cada uno. Pero hay piezas mucho mas caras. Creo que están un poco elevados pero tampoco son caros, creo que son accesibles para todo el mundo, y son piezas clásicas que cualquier chica que le guste la moda debe tener.

7. Envío: Se tardo 27 días y solo contando dias laborables, 19. Ella especifica que se tarda 10 días en hacer la prenda mas los 7 a 10 días que se puede tardar el correo. Como lo pedí el 14 de diciembre de 2011 y era época de navidad creo que por eso se tardo un poco mas. De todos modos considero que es mucho para lo que estoy acostumbrada. Y el costo depende cuanto sea el total de tu compra a mi me costo US$12

8. Empaque: vienen en unas bolsas rosadas bellas creo que es bueno hasta para mantenerlos en ellas cuando no los estés usando.

9. Lo recomendarías?: Totalmente los recomendaría son bellos, versátiles y estoy enamorada de mis piezas, si puedes esperar por ellos y no te molesta el precio, compralos tan pronto veas alguno disponible.

 

__________________

This is a Haul and a review about HRH Collection. So I hope you like it and if you are wondering about buying a piece from Alex, hopefully it will help you decided.

1. Custumer Service: Is excelent she answered all of my emails super fast within a day.

2. Variety: Is quite big considering that the pieces are desing and made by her.

3. Availability: This online store lack of items almost all items are sold out. If you follow Alex on Twitter or facebook she post when she restocked the items but within an hour they are sold out again. 

4. Quality: I think the quality is really good but I can't answer honestly because I got the items a week a go so it's not long for the quality to show.

5. Comfort: The necklaces look heavy but the are weightless, so they are pretty comfy.

6. Price: The Ombre Noir necklace cost US$45, and the Natical Rope Gauge US$25 so they are nop cheap but neither spensive.

7. Shipping: It took 27 days from the day I place the ordered, if we take out the holidays and weekends it took 19 days. But she said in the page that it take her 10 days to make the items plus the time it take for USPS to delivered the package. In my experience online shopping I think is to much.

8. Packing: The necklace came in a pink bag, super cute, and I think is perfect to store them.

9. Would you recomended it? Totally, I think they are gorgeous pieces that every girl who is in to fashion should have in their closet if its your style. So if you like them and can wait a few weeks for delivery, buy it totally worth the wait.

Review: Coastal Scents 88 original Palette

             

          Quería hacerles este review desde mi punto de vista, porque vi varios en youtube y aun así cuando iba a ordenar el estuche de sombras estaba bien indecisa y tenia mis dudas. Es bastante nuevo me llego hace unos días pero ya lo he utilizado varias veces. Los colores son hermosos y tiene una variedad inmensa, e incluso tiene colores que nunca imaginaria usar, por ejemplo un color de sombras rojo, y lo use, claro pero lo coloque en los labios.  Me encanta la paleta porque tiene muchos colores mates y varios con brillos, como la mayoría de mis sombras son con brillo y quería tener una variedad mas amplia de colores mate. Las sombras tienen bastante pigmentación, algunos colores claros sobre todo los mate no tienen tanta pigmentación como me gustaría, pero para la amplia variedad de colores en un solo estuche y el precio USD $ 18.95 creo que es bastante espectacular. No me gusta el empaque plástico, con las letras gigantes, parece de niñas y se ve como si fuera económico y de poca calidad hasta que lo abres y ves que bellos son los colores. En conclusión si lo recomiendo comprar sobre todo si estas comenzando tu colección de maquillajes, eres nueva en este mundo, o si quieres tener todos los colores en una sola paleta. Así que si te interesa ve al website ahora que tienen un 50% de descuesto hasta Diciembre 30 y te saldría en $10.42, que es increíble para 88 colores espectaculares. Yo también la compre con un descuento de 50% y me arrepiento de no haber pedido la de rubores y la paleta de sombras de colores neutrales. Les dejo saber si la pido.

Besos,

Debs

______________________

            I wanted to make this review from my point of view, because I saw on youtube a few reviews about this palette when I ordered I was so unsure which one to get and had my doubts. It's fairly new, it came a few days ago but I've used it several times. The colors are beautiful and has an immense variety, and even has colors that I have never used, for example a red color eyeshadows, and still used it, of course on my lips. I love  palette because it has many matte and glittler colors and most of my eyeshadows are bright and wanted to have a wider variety of matte colors. Theeyeshadows have enough pigmentation, some especially bright colors are not as dull as I'd like them to be, but for the wide variety of colors in one palette, and the price USD $ 18.95 I think it's pretty spectacular. I hate the plastic packaging, with the giant letters, seems to be for little girls and looks like low quality product, until you open it and see how beautiful the colors are. So I totally  recommended this palette, especially if you're starting your collection of makeup, if you're new to this world, or if you want all the colors in one palette. So if you're interested go to the website now because they have a 50% off on palettes until December 30 and you will only pay $ 10.42, which is incredible for 88 spectacular colors. I also bought with a 50% off and I regret not buying the blush palette and the warm palette. I'll let you know if I order them.

Kisses,

Debs
