Brave Store Review

Hello everyone! ^_^

 Today I am going be be reviewing the items I bought from Brave Store on Storenvy! This store is located in Hong Kong, and has a bunch of kawaii and pretty clothing, shoes, and accessories! The two things I bought in this order are the Rose Leggings in light yellow, and the Bow Messenger bag in pink.



The Rose Leggings are currently priced at $8.00, and the bag at $26.00. I personally think these are very fair prices, and was very excited to find them. Shipping for these two items was $5.00, which is also very fair. I was able to get 10% off my order by searching for a coupon code online, so make sure to do that before purchasing!

I purchased from this store on Feb. 13, 2014. In the FAQ, the store states that the items purchased may not come at the same time since different items come from different places... so keep that in mind!  The first to come was the bag, which came on Feb 28, 2014. The leggings came shortly after and arrived on March 5, 2014. Overall, I was very happy with the shipping time! The only thing I disliked is that there was no tracking number, but that is understandable since there was more than one package.

SHIPPING RATING: 4/5


Since it arrived first, I will start with the bag. I was so excited to find such a cute and delicate looking bag for so cheap! The bag arrived in a standard plastic shipping bag. When I opened the package, the bag was wrapped in a cloth protective pouch, which I found nice. The purse itself is adorable! The color is exactly what I wanted, which was a pale rose petal color with a creamy beige trim and bow. The bow on the front is absolutely adorable and adds such a nice feminine touch.

I was also very impressed by how nicely finished the inside of the bag was! It is pretty spacious, with one zipper side pocket. The bag also snaps open very securely, so I know none of my items will randomly fall out!

Overall, this bag really impressed me! I really like that I will be able to use either the handle or the strap to hold it, since sometimes I don't like having a strap around my shoulder :/

BAG RATING: 4.5/5

Now, onto the leggings! The leggings were also arrived in a standard plastic shipping bag. When I opened it, the leggings were neatly folded in a plastic pouch. I immediately noticed how pretty the pale yellow color was! The floral print looked gorgeous with it, and I couldn't wait to try them on. The leggings seemed to be very sturdy as well! Both the waist and the ankles have stretch to them, so they were very easy to put on!

They fit very nicely! The pattern didn't make my leg look big, nor did the fabric cling to me. I felt very comfortable and free in these. The only thing I have to mention is that if you have any darker tattoos on your legs like I do, they might show through a bit through the fabric (This doesn't really bother me though since the floral pattern covers where my tattoo is xD). I would recommend these leggings be worn in the Spring and Fall seasons, since they are not very thick. Note: I am about a size 8US pant and these leggings can stretch a whole lot more!

LEGGINGS RATING: 4/5



TOTAL EXPERIENCE: 4.5/5

I am very happy with the service and items I got from Brave Store! I would really recommend you try them out if you haven't already!

TonyMoly Hello Bunny Perfume Bar: Pompom Green Tea Review

Hello! ^_^ Today I will be reviewing the TonyMoly 9g perfume bar in the Pompom Green Tea scent! I bought this off of Amazon.com for around $7.00 plus shipping. When it arrived, it came in an adorable clear box, which had decoration and writing on it.

 The container that the perfume comes in is absolutely ADORABLE :3 The bunny has such a cute and sleepy expression on it's face! The container is also small enough to safely fit inside a purse! I would be careful not to put it near anything that could potentially scratch it though.

After taking of the cap (which is the head of the bunny), I was presented with a sanitary cap protecting the perfume bar inside. I suppose this is meant to be thrown away after opening, but I personally still keep it on when I am not using it to prevent anything happening to it ( I am a very clumsy person xD).

As stated by TonyMoly, the notes of the perfume are meant to be as follows:

• Top Note : Lemon, Bergamot, Tangerine (Citrus)
• Middle Note : Lutus, Green Tea, Osmanthus, Lily2 (Green)
• Base Note : Amber, Musk (Floral)

The perfume smells gorgeous! I can right away smell the lemon and bergamot. Green tea is the next scent that comes into play. As for the other scents, they are very light but still there. This perfume smells so refreshing and relaxing, and makes me think of a sunny and warm day in the park. Most definitely a nice pick me up for the Winter! The bar itself glides on smooth and silky, and doesn't seem to leave much of an oily sensation on the skin. As for the length of the perfume, I am not sure. I seem to lose the scent of it after a few hours, but I am not sure if this is because it fades away or if I am just used to the scent by then.

Overall, I love this perfume. I will most definitely be buying it again, but this perfume bar seems like it will last me a long while!

Pros:
-Adorable packaging
-Smells great
-Compact

Cons:
- Needs to be ordered online (I live in the USA and no store by me sells this product)
- Scent might possibly fade away over a couple of hours.

TonyMoly Tangerine Whitening Hand Cream Review

Welcome to my first review! It will be on the TonyMoly Tangerine Whitening Hand Cream! I purchased this 30g hand cream from Ebay for $7.00. When it arrived, it did not come in a box, but was instead protected by a bundle of bubble wrap.

  The hand cream itself come in the CUTEST plastic tangerine jar. The jar is big enough to just cover the palm of my hand. I wouldn't necessarily recommend this for travel, since the jar might be a little too big to fit comfortably in a purse with other items (Also, I wouldn't want to risk scratching the packaging in any way since it is so adorable! xD).

TonyMoly's product description states that- TonyMoly Tangerine Whitening Hand Cream contains extracts of such fruits rich in vitamin C as orange, tangerine, lemon and pomelo to soften the rough skin of hands. It allows better nail regeneration. Besides, the product contains arbutin, a whitening ingredient, leaving the skin of hands fair and soft. 

To test this product out, I first washed and dried my hands thoroughly. When I opened the jar, I was presented with a very pleasantly scented and colored cream. The color reminded me of a Creamsicle, and the scent smelled exactly like a juicy, sweet citrus fruit. The consistency of the cream is very light, and left no heavy or oily feeling after being rubbed in completely.

My hands felt instantly nourished, which is something that I don't get to feel enough in these Winter months :( I could also feel a difference in how soft my hands were! This is a big plus for me since I like having my hands as soft as possible. As for the whitening, my hand DID seem to whiten a bit, but not enough to show up on camera. Instead of whiting, I would probably say that the cream makes the hands more luminous. This feature, however, only lasts for a while (Washing your hands or touching things will make the "whitening" fade away bit by bit).

Overall, I would say that I really like this cream! It is great for the price, and makes an adorable decoration while it is not being used :3 I will most likely buy this again in the future!

PROS:
-Affordable
-Nourishing
- Cute packaging
-Smells great

CONS:
-Needs to be ordered online (I am ordering from the USA and do not have any stores near me that sell this product.)
- Not very portable
-Whitening effect does not last very long

Greetings! :3
