What Came in the Mail + Accessories Haul


I was really excited when I cracked open my parcel last Monday and found these goodies. If you've stuck around my blog long enough, you'd know that I'm a huge fan of Katy Perry. Really keen to try these babies out. Keep an eye out for my review. I've never tried self-adhesive lashes before so things are going to get interesting!



Here's another photo at a different angle and closer up. I love the cookies on sticks. They are so cute! Haven't got the heart to eat them.



Okay, so there's been quite a hype around Michael Todd skincare products, especially in the Youtube community. I really wanted to try them out but at the same time, I didn't want to put all my eggs in one basket. Ordering all the full-sized products would cost me at least $100. I caved and bought this travel set instead. And yes, a review is on the horizon.



So for the last couple of weeks, Lovisa had a 3 for 2 sale. I was looking for a pair of earrings to go with my dress, for a ball that I will be attending. I spotted all these other items and I couldn't resist. My earrings hunt turned into a massive accessories haul As you can see, I purchased a set of gold bangles, a couple of necklaces, a pair of crystal earrings (for my dress) and a set of studs (see below).


What really sold me on the studs were the two birds at the bottom. Below is a clearer photo of them.


I think they are absolutely beautiful and I only wished that I have blonde (instead of black) hair, so that the black feather tails would show up more when I wear them.

Wicked Wednesday: Ring Cheater

Bought a beautiful chunky ring that's too big for any of your fingers? I did exactly that a few of months back and has since found a way to wear it without having it slip or fly out of my finger. So don't throw it away or give it away just yet. You might just be able to wear your lovely ring by following these steps! 


1. Take a cotton square, fold it once or twice, depending on how thick you need it to be.
2. Cut off the corners or cut your cotton square into a shape that fits the back of the ring.
3. Stick a double-sided tape onto the back of the ring and press your cotton square on top of it. Stick tape in between layers of the cotton if needed.
4. Put the ring on your finger. Test it out by having your arms by your sides and fingers pointing straight down to the ground. Your ring should not slip out.
5. If ring slips, add more cotton layers until it doesn't.
6. If the ring becomes too tight, press the cotton down hard against the back of the ring before wearing to flatten it a bit.


If any cotton bits are sticking out, just tuck it in with your finger. Others can only see the cotton if they look at your ring from the angle that I've shown in the photo above.



Everyone will think that you have a really fabulous ring on!
