Life is the Bubbles Review & Giveaway!

When it comes to jewelry I like owning jewelry that you can't run to walmart or target to pick up, Who wants to go into a store and see at least ten other people wearing the same thing? (And yes I have been in this type of situation). My number one go to for jewelry that is Unique and suits me is Etsy, Yes a bunch of people can still purchase the same necklace but they aren't mass produced which still makes them unique in my opinion. I recently found a wonderful shop called Life is the Bubbles and I love the jewelry they sell everything is Disney inspired.



I received a speedy little package in the mail which had a small blue gift bag and a beautiful Drink Me Alice in Wonderland Bottle Necklace with Key Charm. I honestly have no idea what they used inside of the bottle they look like very small beads which are fun to watch while twirling the bottle and look stunning with the color choices picked out by Life is the Bubbles. The bottle has a small label that reads "Drink me" which has been securely placed on the bottom, I am 90% sure that unless you used a sharp blade you won't be able to get the label off, the cork on the bottle is also well sealed. The chain was also a nice choice selection from the shop owners, it is sturdy and light weight some chains can be too dainty and can break simply by getting caught in your pony tail and others are so big they are irritating to wear this one is perfect which I just realized also fits perfectly with the just right amount Alice has to use of each potion or mushroom in order to become the right size. I loved this necklace all the way around from the cute heart clasp to the chain and the charm bottle itself, I would 100% purchase from this shop in the future I have a few friends and family members who would love the jewelry sold by Life is the Bubbles. Some of my other favorites from their shop include; Jar of Dirt Necklace and Key Charm Disney Pirates of the Caribbean Jack Sparrow Tia Dalma, Mistress of All Evil Maleficent Magical Necklace with a Dragon Charm and Snow White, Heigh Ho Off to Work Bottle of Magical Diamonds Necklace and Shovel Charm. Their necklaces chains are typically 19 1/2 inches long but if you were looking for something shorter or even longer I am sure they would be more than happy to fix it for you.



Everyone needs a little Disney magic in their life and now you can carry it with you around your necklace, wrist or have it hanging from your ears. Show off your love for your favorite Disney movie! Life is the Bubbles offers a number of necklaces, bracelets and earring sets which all revolve around well known Disney movies & Fairy Tales. The pricing is affordable and budget friendly, Their jewelry ranges from $12 to $50 for the Decor they sell. Customer service is great the shop is ran by a mother daughter team who do an amazing job not only at creating jewelry but with their shipping and customer service as well. What is your favorite piece from Life is the Bubbles?



PRIZE ALERT:
One lucky read is going to win a $35 Gift Card to Life is the Bubbles to select anything your Disney heart could desire.

Bondi New York Review!

****This was not a paid post and my honest opinion was used. The opinions are solely my own and may vary from others.The products mentioned below have been provided by Bondi New York for the review  Free of charge.****

I used to stick with the cheapest nail polish at the store because I thought all polishes were the same but after trying out different brands I found out that they are all quite different. I was recently able to try out a brand called Bondi New York which seems very popular as their site was mostly sold out of all their available shades, I received Starry Night, NYPD & City Slicker for my review.

The nail polishes were so well packaged it was almost a pain getting them open, but with how easily nail polish can be smashed in shipping I appreciate them being wrapped like they were. I personally love the NYPD it deep navy blue in color, applies smooth and stays true to the color you see in the bottle. I found only a single coat of NYPD works perfectly and achieves the rich color,I have been wearing it for three days now and haven't had a single nail polish chip. The City Slicker I didn't like as much I found it to be a little too thin consistency for me, even after rolling the bottle in my hands as their website suggest to get the colored mixed up it still took almost five coats to cover the nail without any nail showing through. Starry Night is a deep blue almost purple color that is very pretty, this is also a shade that goes on nicely with only one coat and no brush marks show up. Would I purchase from this brand in the future? Yes they have a few shades I would love to try out, so far aside from the one polish I have enjoyed their brand and it has proven to be long lasting. Head over to their website to view all the polish shades they have available.

Aurelial Art Review & Giveaway!

****This was not a paid post and my honest opinion was used. The opinions are solely my own and may vary from others.The products mentioned below have been provided by Aurelial Art for the review & giveaway Free of charge.****



I collect a lot of trinkets and bobbles, I enjoy collecting things such as framed butterflies, video game related items and Dragons. I can now say I own 'Dragon Eggs' thanks for a little etsy shop called Aurelial Art who sells potions and personalized writing paper/sets. What do I mean she sells potions? She sells small boxes with wonderful quirky items such as Dragon Eggs, Refined Fairy Dust, Vampire Dust & more that comes in a small black box with gold markings on the outside. Inside each box you will find a small glass bottle containing the item stated on the box, a information card on parchment describing the potion ingredient and a few 'facts', and a small scroll of 'thanks for buying'. For review purpose I received a Dragons Egg box and a Frozen Phoenix Tear box.



The packaged arrived fast considering it was shipped from the UK and had bubble wrap around each box to keep it safe during shipping. The boxes are black with golden symbols around the sides and a description of what is in the box on the top written on parchment paper. Inside each package I found the contents listed on the site 1 bottle with the potion item, 1 description card and 1 Thank you scroll along with a piece of foam to keep everything safe, I also found a very stylish and eye catching business card tucked away in the bottom of the box, I thought that was a nice touch. The choice of font used is dead on for the type of 'feel' these boxes give to you, it makes you feel as if you are really going to cast a spell. The Dragons eggs are squishy red balls, on her website it says not to touch them as the red can stain your hand but will easily wash off. My fiance thought they were fish eggs when he first saw it but upon closer inspection realized he was wrong. The Frozen Phoenix Tears are small clear crystals and the description on both boxes are humorous and fun, I think that the products from the Aurelial Art potion section would make a great gift for any Harry Potter Fans, Game of Thrones fans, DND Fanatics, Cosplayers or just a fantasy fan in general.

Taking a look around her shop the first thing you notice is the well taken photos they are eye catching & have things going on in the background that relates to the product but doesn't take away from the product itself. The owner has a warm and friendly personality along with a fast replying time, Have any questions about these products want a custom color bow tie on your scroll? Message her at any time and she will be happy to help. Cost wise each one is just over $10 for the materials, time putting together the boxes and the thought put into each one I think the price is wonderful in my opinion she would even charge a bit more and I would pay for more even with the higher price point. I have my eye on the Alice In Wonderland writing set in her shop and have it on my "Purchase soon" list, I look forward to seeing what else she adds to her shop.



PRIZE ALERT:
One lucky reader is going to win their choice of Any potion from her shop, This giveaway is open World Wide.

Mark Poulin Jewelry Review!

****This was not a paid post and my honest opinion was used. The opinions are solely my own and may vary from others.The products mentioned below have been provided by Mark Poulin Jewelry for the review Free of charge.****

Have you ever bought or received a item with the intention of giving it to someone else but found it too cute and ended up keeping it? I had that exact situation happen to me recently, I found a small company called Mark Poulin Jewelry who creates adorable jewelry,key chains & more from his own drawings. I recently received a Tyrannosaurus Rex Dinosaur Pewter Necklace & Dinosaur Key chain for a review and immediately fell in love with them once I opened the package.



My package arrived quickly and was packaged perfectly it even came with bonus goodies that I was not expecting. Opening the package I found two adorable greeting cards with envelopes which will be used I am always sending out Birthday cards,Thank you cards and more, There were also two small brown boxes each hand stamped with a cute design. In box number one I found the Dinosaur key chain and a small button, the second package contained the Tyrannosaurus Rex necklace and another button. The super cute hand cast pewter Dinosaur necklace is about a 3/4 inch tall and 3/4 inch wide. It hangs from a really long 20" antiqued chain with a lobster clasp. The key chain is a white bronze dog tag key chain has a brontosaurus and a shooting star on it. I had the intention of giving the necklace to a friend of mine who loves all things T-rex but after seeing how cute and well made the necklace is I don't think I can bring myself to do it.



The necklace is light weight on a small dainty chain that matches the Tyrannosaurus Rex pendent perfectly, the dino has a lot of little details including a stripped belly,spotted back, little toes and an eye ball. The pendant was cast with care there are no rough or sharp edges on this dino everything has been smoothed out and polished I am highly impressed with both the items I received. I don't typically wear jewelry but when I do I prefer it to be on the smaller side so this necklace is perfect for me. The Key chain is well made itself it is the perfect weight for a key chain and having a lobster clasp attached allows you to easily move the dinosaur key chain onto your own set of keys. Mark Poulin Jewelry offers a wide range of precious pendants and more, their website is easy to navigate and their customer service is A+ they response in a timely manner and are always kind.  Looking for something special for a loved one? Head over and check out everything they have to offer.While you are visiting their site you should stop by the 'About us' section it is a fun read that tells you a little bit about everyone who works at Mark Poulin Jewelry, I enjoyed reading it because I got to know a little more about the people behind the adorable jewelry and highly professional work.

Lumikki Cosmetics Review & Giveaway!

****This was not a paid post and my honest opinion was used. The opinions are solely my own and may vary from others.The products mentioned below have been provided by Lumikki Cosmetics for the review & giveaway Free of charge.****

I wanted to start off by saying I am excited to share this review and giveaway with all of you makeup lovers out there! I found a wonderful small makeup company called Lumikki Cosmetics, I was originally drawn to her store after seeing an image of her eye shadow called "Dragons Scale" which I am happily now the owner of. All of the eye shadows sold by Lumikki Cosmetics contain glitter some are more subtle others are "Pow" in your face and I love it they are all very unique and are unlike any shadows I have seen before. For a review I was sent five shadows of my choice, It was difficult to pick just five because they all look amazing but after some debating I decided on the following shades; Andromeda, Dragon Scale, Witches Brew, Bones, &  Skyrim.



My package arrived in less than a week and was extremely well packaged to keep the containers of shadow safe, Each container is marked with the company name and color. When opening loose pigment eye shadows you do need to remember to tap the lid before opening other wise you will lose a good portion of the product. I have been looking for a good white shadow for quite some time, I don't use white often but when I do it is usually for Holiday related makeup such as the 4th of July [Red,White & Blue] or Halloween [Candy Corn] which is why I decided to test out the shadow 'Bones'. This white is perfect for my needs, most white shadows I have tried blend and hide with my skin tone to make it visible I have to pack on the shadow which isn't a desired situation as the shadow easily gets in my eyes, Bones is visible without using a lot of the product. I enjoy Bones but it is no where near the amount that I love Dragon Scale, this shade is absolutely gorgeous. Dragon Scale is a is a multidimensional, color-shifting emerald green with tons of pink, purple & rose sparkles. When applied I feel that the shade would match how a dragons scale would look on the powerful majestic creature itself, the purple and pink sparkles really bring out the shadow of emerald used I plan on using this shade often.



Next up is the Skyrim which is a blue-green aqua with silvery sheen. This color reminds me of a mixture between a sea aqua and a sky blue, with small specks of silver showing through, this shade would be perfect for a sea inspired makeup look. Andromeda is part of the Galactic Collection, which is a series of deep, inky black eye shadows with holographic, multi-colored glitters and color-shifting bases. Testing out Andromeda I found the black over powered the glitter slightly but still holds its deep well pigmented shade. Last but not least Witches Brew is also another of my favorites from the five, it is an intense burgundy red shade with tons of glimmering sparkles. I love this shade it reminds me of wet berries, the sparkles give it the glimmering look and the burgundy red is quite rich. Now you know about how the shades are but how is the actual makeup? I find that the eyeshadow applies without any issues, the pigments stick well and don't end up all over your cheeks like some shadows tend to do.

The shadows are true to the shades show in the images on the website, they are long lasting and wash off easily without any irritation to the skin. The pigments themselves are soft and is light weight you won't be able to tell you are even wearing eye shadow. I personally love these shadows and look forward to purchasing more from their website for both myself and my loved ones. Last but not least the customer service gets an A+ from me! I am sorry I didn't provide photos of the eye shadows in action my fiance is quite ill and my son is teething it has been a hectic last two days.



PRIZE ALERT:
One lucky winner will receive 5 Eye shadows from Lumikki Cosmetics, The shadows will be picked from the top sellers by the owner. This giveaway is open World Wide!

Rubber Duckie and Friends Review!

****This was not a paid post and my honest opinion was used. The opinions are solely my own and may vary from others.The products mentioned below have been provided by Rubber duckie and friends for the review  Free of charge.****

My son is eleven months old and loves bath time, but doesn't necessarily like getting his hair washed. He is at the stage where he tries to grab at the cup for rinsing his hair any time I try to fill it up and becomes angry if he doesn't grab it, I wanted to try and find an easier way to wash him. Rubber Duckie and Friends gave me the perfect solution a frog shaped children's showerhead. I was recently sent a Froggie the Frog Showerhead for review and absolutely love it. The package contained A Frog-character bath & shower wand, wall mount with rubber suction cups, six-foot hose, & a two-way water-flow diverter. My package arrived in a timely manner, it was well packaged and their customer service representative was very friendly.




The shower head was easy to install it took less than five minutes for my fiance to set up the showerhead in the kids bathroom. You have the option of connecting the animal shaped shower head directly to the shower arm or you can add the two way converter so you are still able to use your regular shower head. This show head uses a gentle 1.5 gpm spray that is soft enough to bathe infants and toddlers, the six-foot hose is completely movable and can be used anywhere in the tub or shower. This shower head works wonders my kids both love it and I love it too! This shower head not only helps me bathe my infant easily but it will make cleaning the shower easier, having the six foot hose will make it a breeze for cleaning off the shower walls and cleaning my sons high chair when it gets filthy so I get double the use from this. Rubber Duckie and Friends sells children friendly shower heads in the shapes of A Duck, A Frog, Dolphin, Hippo and Rhino along with a adult shower head line. The childrens line of shower heads retails for $24.99 and can be purchased by visiting their website. If you have a small child or have someone with a baby shower coming up I think one of these shower heads would make a very thoughtful gift.
