Hello everyone, how is your weekend going? I'm off to do some shopping and for those of you relaxing at home, here's a review on the items that I recently received from bornprettystore.com. Please use the code in my sidebar if you decide to purchase anything, you'll get 10% off your order!
Alloy Silver Bracelet
This bracelet's even suitable for those with smaller wrists, it doesn't slide off. I can slip it in with ease without stretching the bracelet at all.
It's a weighty piece and it's strung together by an elastic string made from plastic. The plastic bit threw me off a little, I would have liked it to come with something more durable.
Now on to my other concerns, I felt that it could be made a little better: the edges for one of the links are slightly sharp and the black ink that is used on the lines that run vertically through the shell are often found on the silvery part as well. It might be me being too picky, but I thought that it'd be nice for you guys to be prepared in case you ever decide to purchase this piece.
That being said, I still love it a lot and will wear it out as often as possible.
Retractable Brush Black
The bristles are so soft and fluffy and it doesn't shed nor bleed dye after going through numerous washes.
I use this for touch ups on the go - powder sunscreen, powder pact - and it works perfectly. The packaging is very pretty but it got banged up after a stint in my make up bag. I would have liked it to come with a velvet pouch to keep it looking spiffy but I mustn't grumble too much for something so inexpensive.
For those who might wonder, the dimensions are: full length 103 mm, hair length 38 mm, ferrule width 24 mm.
Mood Changing Nail Polish Pink
The finish is semi-matte and some are bound to love it or hate it. Personally, I don't mind either way, I can always apply a top coat for optimum shininess. It needs a good three coats and has an average wear of two hours before the tips start to chip. Yes you read that right, hours as opposed to days.
On me, the polish turns into a sweet candy pink colour, very much unlike the colour shown on the nail wheel. The colour is adorable and I enjoy the consistency and how quickly it dries but detest everything else about it.
Thanks for reading!

the nail polish is soooo pretty blair! :) so is the brush. i suppose the nail polish chips off easily? :/
The retractable brush is so cute! ^__^
yikes,chipping in terms of hours? ._. but i do like the idea of mood changing colors XD
We had an early Christmas gathering with my wife's family today. It actually went well. =)
The brush seems like the best choice to purchase out of all 3 items lol the colour of the polish looks great too :D a nice pink jelly colour.. but.. 2 hours?! T>T
The brush seems very nice to put in your purse and use when you need a touch up indeed. And the nail polish seems to have a good opacity^^
The brush looks soo soft!! ^^
the polish is so cute. a lovely pink color that isn't SUPER girly hehehe
Born bijin, some girls are just lucky that way. =)
The procedure was about 3 years ago. I'm fine now--I don't even snore anymore. I used to shake the house. ;P
I love the pattern on the outside of the retractable brush :) The mood changing polishes I have chip super quickly as well (not 2 hours, but usually within a day). I wonder if it's some ingredient in there that makes the color change.
that brush looks kinda cute.
