Choies.com Review

So before i went on holiday i discovered an american clothing website called choies, and i fell in love with everything on the website and of course the fact that it was free delivery yayy! So i obviously had to take an order and at the time i was searching for some new denim shorts for my holiday and i found these two. 
Choies is an american clothing website that provides stylish and affordable fashion pieces for teenage girls and young female adults.
Bart Simpson Shorts- $23.99 (£15.46)
Frayed denim shorts- $24.99 (£16.11)

These shorts were an absolute bargain at those prices compared to the UK high street even primark are upping they're prices to about £10-£12 for a pair and these are definitely better quality and look so much nicer and more expensive. Both pairs of shorts are high waisted (really hard to get hold of a good pair of high waisted shorts in the UK apart from the original Levis and even them are hard to get hold of sometimes) and come in a variety of sizes to fit all waist sizes.
Now onto the delivery, they're were two delivery options when i bought these shorts 
  • 4-7 Business day shipping -$15.00 (£9.67)
  • 15-30 Day Shipping -FREE
Obviously a big difference in price so i decided to go for the free option, and i was pleasantly surprised i received my order in a matter of 10 days which i thought was amazing and just in time for my holiday as well i was very glad. Each pair of shorts also came in an individual choies plastic bag which kept them very safe, so theyre were no packaging issues as when ordering from over seas sometimes the boxes they come in can be battered i find sometimes and items missing but this was not a problem with this website(:

Overall i would really recommend checking out this website as they also do some great sales and a variety of stylish items and i will be ordering from they're again. I will be featuring these items in some OOTD's very soon(:

Rimmel Apocalips Review

So i recently bought the 'new' rimmel Apocalips lip lacquer, i've been trying this out quite a lot recently including during the day and in the evening also. For anyone who has not heard of this product it is said to have all the pigmentation of a lipstick but still be glossy like a lip gloss without that sticky feeling you get when wearing a lip gloss sometimes. The Overall product is very thick but still manageable. I also quite like the applicator as you only really need one dip into the pot as it gives you enough of the product. They also come in a variety of different colours from pinks to reds, to oranges and nudes. They do however have a distinct smell, but that does not put me off these at all, i mean come on i bought this lip product for my lips not to eat or spread on my body haha. The lip lacquer also stays on the lips for around 5-6 hours i find which is a very respectable, Overall i would recommend these to anyone as there is a colour to suit everyone in the range and the price is super affordable ( boots are selling them for £4.99 at the moment instead of the usual price of £5.99 here) get them while you can. i bought mine in a lovely peachy orange shade named luna which is lovely and i really want to get the colour Celestrial.

Nail Rock, nail wraps review

So as you can tell from the title i have a review for you today, this review will be on the nail rock nail wraps range. This range has been out for quite a while now and they have brought out lots of new styles and patterns out recently so i thought why not lets give it a go, as im quite the nail fan.
I first bought some at the end of last year and rather quite liked them as they were super quick to apply (i will talk later on in this post about application) and very convenient for those days when you are in a rush. These are also a good option for people who are very impatient when waiting for nails to dry. I have two packs/patterns of nail wraps to show you.


The pack on the left are metalic giraffe printed and the pack on the right are black and white striped. I love the feel of these wraps on the nail as they are very smooth and look glossy when on the nail. These wraps are also very easy to apply as they have instructions on the back, they also have a website where you can see a tutorial on how to apply them here. The first time i applied these nail wraps they lasted for about 5 days until they started to peel, however the second time they seemed to only last 2 days, as you can see these wraps are not a long time fix. 


Application;
You will need a hairdryer (a travel sized one would be perfect)
First you will need to pick the wrap that best fits your nail
After you have done this you will need to stick the wrap on your nail, making sure there are no creases.
Then apply heat using your hairdryer,pressing firmly down on your nail as you do this.
The last step is to file the excess wrap off, using a nail file in downward strokes.

Overall i think these are such a good alternative to nail polish, as they are quick and easy to do and take no effort what so ever. I would buy these again and definitely recommend them to a friend. These wraps are available to buy at bootsasos and the nail rock website and so affordable at £6.70
