YesStyle haul ♡

Today's post will be about my purchases from the online shopping service YesStyle. This company distributes a huge range of products from brands all over East Asia, from fashion items, make-up and skincare to lifestyle. Although they tend to mark-up prices by a lot, their customer service, product selection and ease of purchasing (for a shopping service) are first-class.

I first placed my order on the 20th April, and then added some more items a few days later. However, this did not lengthen the waiting time and my order was shipped out to me on the 3rd May by DHL. Be aware that shipping times vary according to the availability of the items. I received free express delivery for ordering over $150 worth of items.
This is super-cute and practical at the same time! It ships flat-packed and contains instructions to build it yourself! It's a little bit time-consuming but it's quite simple once you get the hang of it and satisfying to make. The print is just gorgeous!
Just had to get my deco fix with this little travel cutie! This case comes with a protective, sealed wrapping for hygiene which I thought was great! The deco pieces are stuck on really well and has stayed put to date. This set also comes with lens handling tools which fits into the outer case, great for on-the-go. The only negative part is that the lens case is a little shallow to what I'm used to, so must be extra-careful!
I absolutely love the Dolly Wink nail polish packaging! So cute and dainty. It's really easy to paint on and dries fast and smooth. The bottle is small for what you pay for though.
This watch is so detailed and unique! It has a flowery background surrounded by lace details and cute little 3-D birds adorn the front. The bezel is encrusted with rhinestones and the strap has a simple gold flower print. The strap is a little stiff but I think it'll break in after wearing it a few times. The back is made of stainless steel and is water-resistant. Unfortunately I had to send this back for an exchange because the hands were misaligned and I couldn't set the time properly. The return watch is still being processed but I took awhile to send it back. Their communication is quick and professional and I will always get a reply on the same or next day. I am currently waiting for my account to be credited for the postage I paid to return the watch.
These pouches are the perfect sizes for carrying anything from make-up, skincare or stationery. They have a little pocket inside for loose bits.
This cropped camisole is really versatile and looks cute peeking out from under tops and dresses or used to cover up under sheer clothing. It can also be worn on its own (it's solid at the front with a sheer back) with a skirt and is super-comfy for a hot summery day.
I love the bow accent on this belt! It has a simple design that goes with many different outfits and can be worn around the waist or hip with or without belt loops. It is also super-sturdy.
Really love the broderie sleeves on this one. I like wearing this on casual days as it's comfy and well-fitting. I might get this in the all-white version in the future.
I was looking for a baby pink skirt when I came across this one on the site, however if you compare my pictures with the pictures on the site they are completely different shades. :{ Also it is too big for my waist unless I tighten up the belt to the point it distorts the shape. This is a good quality skirt with a lovely shape though so I would like to sell it.
I've been wanting these eyelashes for ages but always put off buying them because they are quite expensive. In my opinion they are the most unique eyelashes in the Dolly Wink eyelash range. In the packaging they look as cute as they do in the pictures, but a little more dramatic on the eye. As much as I adore these, the fact that they come as individual pieces make them difficult to handle and time-consuming to put on. I use tweezers to place them under the eye but often end up dropping them on the floor and wasting time trying to find the lost piece. They are also harder to store than strip lashes. I would only recommend these for girls very experienced with false eyelashes. On another note, I really like the Dolly Wink eyelash glue because you can stick them on right away instead of waiting for them to become tacky.
Thank you for reading!

Asos spring florals ♡


Hello dolls! Recently the weather in the UK has been awfully rainy and grey even though its nearly summertime! :{ I decided to buy some cute floral items from ASOS to help cheer me up a little bit which I'll be sharing in this post! 


I really love this rose print from Cath Kidston! This is a great quality water-proof wash bag that can carry quite a lot for its size. Check out what I stored in this bag for a preview of a review I will be doing soon! Can you guess what it is? :B



I just had to buy these to go with my new bag! Isn't it the cutest bath set you've ever seen? These were a little bit smaller than I was expecting, but I'm still happy with the size. The shower gel smells gorgeous and is a dream to use, but the rose scent doesn't stay on your skin, so top up with the body cream! I think these would make a great gift for a gal who loves floral or shabby-chic!



Pink AND floral all in one?! When I set my eyes on this on the ASOS website, I just knew I had to have it! I don't usually use backpacks but it'll be useful to carry stuff to university or work. Admittedly, it does look better on the website's stock photos than in real-life because it's quite unstructured, but I think it's still adorable. It also has a feature on the top of the bag where you can put headphone wires through! Handy, huh?



I really love the look of this playsuit and the print is lovely. Also, the quality of the material is great for it's price. It has cut-out details and buttons up at the front with a self-tie detail at the waist. As much as I love this, I have to return it because the UK Size 8 swamps me, being the short-cookie that I am. ;___; I'd really recommend this for taller girls, though!



What do you think of these purchases? Are you getting into florals this spring/summer? I'd love to know! n__n
Lots of floral love,
