Reviews- Sally Hansen, Cover Your Hair




Sally Hansen-

Seller: I contacted Sally hansen company and asked if they could send me something. They quickly repsonded and said yes!! They were very fast at communication and I got the package very soon after their reply. The only negative thing is that when I got the packaged the box was all squished and the inside box was destroyed and ripped. But overall it was awesome working with them! 



            Item:
I received a kit with wax strips and cooling gel and 3 gem crush nail polishes. The wax strips worked very well and were very easy to use and seemed much cheaper than getting them done professionally. I used them to wax
and shape my eyebrows and they worked so well! I would definitely recommend them. The jewel nail polish worked amazing too. And looked so cute over another nail polish color. 

Overall:4.5 out of 5


 (can get at most Targets, drug stores- CVS,Walgreens,Walmart, and some beauty supply stores)

Cover your hair-

Seller: Cover Your Hair contacted me about sponsoring and might even sponsor a giveaway in the near future(hint hint) They sent the items fast, replied fast, and we're nicely packaged.






Item: I received a purple headband and a double chain headband from Cover Your Hair. The purple headband felt cheap and not very well made.  But the gold one was very well made and would look super cute if you had an outfit to go with it

Overall rating:3.5 out of 5 

  (must buy online, no in store purchases)




Hope you like the review:) and will check out these 2  companies along with many others I have been reviewing:) And I'm preparing for a giveaway very soon. Thanks and welcome my new followers:) I love you all:):)



Love,

Crafty-ness/ Organization- Pinterest

Hey everyone,

So Ive been incredibly crafty lately and I wanted to share with you some fun crafts,stuff from Pinterest, and stuff I have been doing that is crafty:)

Nail stuff:



-Polka Dot Perfector
Wanna make the perfect nail polka dots without buying an expensive tool? Heres how!




-DIY Glitter nail polish




Cork board-

This is such a cool idea where you take a picture frame and glue corks on it to make your own cork board I loved the idea and I am in the process of collecting corks now!


Crayon Art-
I have done this craft once and it turned out really well. You hot glue crayon on a canvas and then with a blow dryer they melt and give this cool effect! You can also arrange the crayons in a straight line instead of a circle!


Genius Idea-

I hate those blown flip flops well heres how to save them!

Hair Organization:

-Holding your bobby pins in an empty Tic Tac container works so well! Thats how I store mine and it works amazing!

-Carrying you rubber bands on a carribeaner is a great idea too since I always lose mine

-Painting bobby pins with nail polish looks so easy and fun and not to mention ahhhhdorable


-Using air freshener to clear off all the extra dried marker off your whiteboard is a great idea and it really works but you might want to have a paper towel too wipe everything off afterwards:)


-Glitter+Modge Podge+Charger= YES!




-Adding saline solution to mascara is something I really want to try since I have so many dried up mascaras!


-DIY spray paint with paint,water, and a spray bottle




-DIY rug with poster board covered in duct tape and yarn taped down to the poster board! Super cute!

-Great for scrapbookers with lotsa ribbon with no place to store it!








-Perfect charging solution to all those devices!


-Cute for laundry rooms and rooms with small or no closets:)


-Taking a clear iPhone case and putting scrapbook paper in it to create custom cases for cheap:)


-Using a clear magazine holder to store something inside a cabinet


-I don't know how to do this but somebody who can please make me one!? Haha they are so cute!!


IMPORTANT:)

Also I entered a photo challenge of a picture I took out my car window at Alexas blog Shine Your Glory Down:) PLease vote for me!!! http://shineyourglorydown.blogspot.com/2012/08/photo-entries.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+ShineYourGloryDown+%28Shine+Your+Glory+Down%29 .

Sweet Pea Athletics Dance Shorts Review





Hey girlies

Due to my generous sponsors I have yet another review for you. These super cute spankies that are perfect for dance,cheer,gymnastics, or other sports


Seller Communication:

The seller was amazing to work with she always responded at lightning speed to me and was just awesome at communicating. The shorts machine broke so it took a little while but I didn't mind at all it wasn't her fault things like this happen but the seller told me updates on when they were going to be in and everything and I loved that about her. When the shorts came they were nicely packaged and super adorable. She sent me these free of charge but if you were to pay for them they were an excellent price


Rating:5 out of 5

Shorts:

The shorts are great they are multi colored and sparkly, well made, and what I like is that it goes with every color!:) They fit good and as you can see by the picture I layered them with some purple booty shorts just to be covered up when I do my leg lifts,splits,ect. in dance. When I wore them to class I paired tim with a green and blue layered sports bra and a sparkly leg warmer and got lots of compliments

Rating: 5 out of 5

Overall rating: 5 out of 5

A perfect rating wow thats hard to do but these shorts and seller were really as close as it comes to perfect:)

Love,
Ashley

Girl Props Review


Hey everyone,

Hope you like all my reviews lately and have been purchasing some super cute stuff from these shops just in time for back to school. Heres another place you might want to check out!

Seller Communication:
I contacted Girl Props jewelry and they told me I can pick out around $20 of merchandise in return for this review. All of their stuff was so cute and like super inexpensive. It was such amazing prices and so many cute items at first I was overwhelmed but I finally picked around 25 pairs of earrings out 3 big pairs and the rest were studs. They shipped super fast I think it was within like 3 days and everything was nicely packaged. They had wonderful communication and overall were a joy to work with.

Rating: 5 out of 5


Item:
The jewelry came and it is all super cute and overall pretty well made. The studs instead of medal though were cheap plastic which I didn't like because you can't even put them in your ear but the other pairs of earrings I got were super cute. The leopard pair I received was a lot bigger than in the picture so that surprised me but overall everything was adorable


Item Rating:3 out of 5

Sign Review

Hey everyone,
I just got the cutest sign to stick on my door that is zebra and says Ashley so Im going to review it for you all

Seller communication:
This was an international transaction so yes it took a while to get here, when it did I had received the wrong sign but the seller was so kind about it and had the right sign shipped to me all the way from Brazil. It did take a while but was well worth it. The seller was fast at communication and super kind

Rating:3.5 out of 5

Item quality:

The item is a medium sized sign with my name on it and a zebra border. It has four double sided tape square on each corner so all you have to do is peel and stick. It was well made and super cute great for any room and I love it on my door!

Millies Dance Wear Review

Dance wear review

Seller communication:

I contacted millies dance wear and asked for an item in exchange for a blog review. I provided my email and address. One day I got a package with a shirt in it. There was a note that said the company had emailed me with the info but I hadn't gotten any emails. So it's kind of hard to rate them on communication when I just never got the email. But they did sent me a high quality item and it shipped pretty fast from the time I contacted them until the time I received the item. 


I got the cutest dance shirt from this company that said Keep Calm and Dance On. It was so well made and the price tag said $24 dollars. I was so lucky to have gotten it free but it was still a good price for the amazing quality item. It was the cutest style tank with a amazing back and an awesome design. It fit great and was just a bit on the bigger side but it's still very wearable especially because there are many cute ways to  tie it in the back. It was a comfy shirt and great for dancing but more modest than just a sports bra and shorts to wear to class. Item rating
5 out of 5

Id definitely reccommend Millies Dancewear, there was so many cute and fairly inexpensive items in their store and this shirt is amazing!!!!
