Head Bands Haul :)

Hi Ladies,  here is another haul I did from Born Pretty Store. I purchased this lot a while ago before getting married and received it right after the wedding :) Like a present from me to me :)  Here are some photos of what I bought, some of which I already tried and got nice comments about. I will be posting a review on each one of them in the coming days but for the sake of this particular post, I will share with you pictures of the items and how to buy them :)  We all know it could take me a while to get to writing again and snapping pictures! Currently my camera is in desperate need of a set of new batteries but I don't have the time to go to the store!  Anyway, on with the show, the bracelet at the end of the pictorial was sent to me as a gift but the BPS staff, actually they sent two but I only photographed one :)


Everything came individually wrapped but it was a real pain to unwrap the pearl one below!



This one is really princessy and is supposed to be used in weddings. Well it can be used like that but I will definitely wear it with some blingy outfit for a night out! It looks gorgeous!

 This trio is my everyday favorites. I already wore the pink and the green one and people said that they look really cute and give me a certain look, I took the certain look part in a good way hehe

Those are some close ups of the cute boy with gold details


 


  
This is classy one with the pearls and such. I already wore it to my favorite restaurant with a rather casual look and it looked perfect. I can dress this up or down according to the outfit.










And last but not least, some pictures of the two Hello Kitty Bracelets I received as a gift with my order. Aren't they cute! I love the way their clasp is and the fact that they are not too wide so they will fit well around my wrist :)

You can purchase all the items above at Born Pretty Store and don't forget to use the Coupon on the right of the pace (PCLG10) to get everything 10% cheaper than the selling price, even if the items are marked on sale, you still get everything 10% lower. Oh and hurry because these head bands are really selling out fast, there were quite a few more I wanted to buy, if you remember I had posted links in a previous post were I talked about cute head bands that caught my eye. Well quite a few of them are sold out, in fact if you visit that post now, you won't find the pictures of the ones that are gone for good.

I wish to thank Born Pretty Store for the amazing shopping experience they provide everytime I visit their store, and congratulate them on the new look as well. The website had a makeover recently and now is more easy to navigate :)

Well I guess that's it for now,
Thanks for reading,

Nail Polish Haul :)

Hi Ladies, it's been a while since I posted anything except fashion updates from Dresslily. I have been way too busy with the wedding preparations and aftermath to find some time for true blogging. Getting into the married-life routine wasn't easy even with two weeks off from work!  I am still trying to set a schedule for house chores and cooking dinner hehe So far I managed to schedule some recipes for the coming two weeks so that I won't have to bother looking up a recipe every evening and go shopping everyday! That was too much of a waste of time! Well lets move on to today's post. I want to share with you some glitter polishes that I bought while I was having my wedding nails done. I remember last December going over all of Valletta shops in search of a nice glitter polish for the festive season and finding only 1 which I spoke about here.  I totally forgot about my nail technician's salon!  When I was doing my nails for the wedding, well they had to be special right! I was looking around and caught sight of the Golden Rose Collection and to my surprise there were glitters, lots of glitters!  I went over to the rack while my bride's maid was having her nails done and took a real good look.. there were quite a few glitter colours and they weren't exactly on the cheap side at 5.50 Euros each. After some thinking, I decided on the 4 below:


How do you like these four beauties? :) Pink is my natural favorite so there are three shades that have pink, the first one is mixed with silver and purple, the second one is pure fuschia, the thirds is a carnival mix and the last one is a teal mixture of small and hexagon glitters.  Note also the new background which is my new living room! The table in the far back is dedicated to Asia with horses symbolizing the Mongols' ability to use horses, a Budha symbolizing the religion, an orchid which is naturally asian and then there are some shells which are there because I got no better place for them but in a way they symbolize the sea :) The huge door onto the terrace allows for the perfect lighting for photographs even though today its a windy and overcast afternoon and I had to do with the little sun that emerged from behind the clouds!

Here are some more pictures of the polishes to give you a better idea of what they look like :)








So what do you think? Do you like my choices and which should I try first? Comments are warmly welcomed :) Feel free to express yourself, I love to read people's opinions and thoughts :)

Well that is it for now,
Thanks for reading,
Saranghae,
Pauline

Born Pretty Store Haul :)


Earlier on this week I received a mini haul from Born Pretty Store and I am so excited to share the items with you guys :)  These cuties mean that I will have some cute manicures coming up in the following weeks and some new tutorials as well :)

So here is a picture of what I got:




Lets go through them one by one :)



This little guy is a special nail art polish which I shall be using in conjunction with the items that I am going to show you below, to create cute little manicures in red :)  Seems like I am going through a red-mania lately... it's all due to the village feasts, they all somehow feature red, blue or green in their colours :)


 
These cuties in pink, which is my super favorite colour, are a stamper and a scraper. Essential parts of the stamping kit... all that is missing at this point is the image plate :) I will be showing you how to use these babies to create super gorgeous nail art in seconds :)


 This is how an image plate looks like.  Both plates have french manicure designs which I can't wait to try out :)


Here is a second one with equally cute designs. Photographing these babies was really hard because they were reflecting myself and the camera all the time hehe :)








This little guy here is a metallic blue striping tape which I cannot wait to try out ;) It is really minute so I think I will need to super-concentrate on being terribly delicate with it :)

All items here are available only at Born Pretty Store :) Direct links will soon be available in the Favourite Nail Products page which you can access from the tabs above :)







And don't forget to use the following coupon to get all your shopping 10% cheaper :)


I will be trying them out and reviewing everything soon so keep an eye :)

Till next post,
