Molang Haul from Official Retailer~~

Finally working on my Molang collection <3 I might have a slight addiction to this puffy little rabbit~
Luckily, this cute mascot is gaining popularity around the world so it's getting easier to find him abroad.

Due to the demand for international shipping for items from the official Molang online shop [here],
They opened an official eBay store that has international shipping [eBay shop], which is great news for those out of Korea.

The eBay shop lists new items every other week and sells all the items, depending on availability, carried on their normal shop~
Shipping ranges from $7 USD to $25 USD, which is pretty affordable.

My items came in two packages, one priced at $25, which was the necklace and the rest all together for $20 shipping in total. Shipping is decent and takes 5-20 days to receive your parcel depending where you live.

 With my package I received a free Molang fan and a set of 3D Molang stickers.

The most expensive item in their shop is the Molang and Nano+o Meter necklace. Which is slightly over $100 USD.
It's made of Silver 92.5%,red copper etc 7.5%,Rhodium Plating and is hand crafted.
The necklace is roughly the size of my pinky nail bed and comes on a silver chain.

It should be noted that I have a sever metal allergy when it comes to items that aren't silver or gold and I've been wearing the necklace for almost a month now without removing it and I show no signs of irritation. So I can attest that the item is very pure.

The necklace looks very delicate and lies just right under my collar bone and does a beautiful job of accentuating my neck and is a great universal accessory for all my outfits.

I debated for awhile if the necklace was worth splurging on and after putting it on, I have no regrets on getting it for myself.

The next item I ordered was the Molang neck pillow. It's very well crafted, very soft but firm enough to nicely support my head and neck comfortably.

It's so very cute and an item I use quite often, especially when I'm in bed reading.

 The last Molang merchandise I purchased was the Molang cloak/house blanket.
It's a decent sized blanket, it's roughly 80cm long from top to bottom and has a plush hook that closes the cloak around your shoulders. It's very comfortable, warm and secure~ Perfect for the cool nights we've been having recently.

 The cloak even has a cute tail on the back and mittens for your hands to keep snug. Which, for some reason, I forgot to take pictures of;;

 Details of the beautiful stitching/details.

Also, you can roll up the blanket and tuck it into the hood for storage and it looks super cute, like a plush~

I'm so glad that Molang is becoming popular and is more readily available to an international audience. All the items of Molang I have are great quality and are a joy to own.

I hope you enjoyed the information and a peek at my haul.

I'm starting to live up to my given nickname, 'Molang Princess'~

Turning Heads, Rose Wholesale [Sponsored] Shoe Review

 I'm very glad to introduce you to a new online retailer and partner, Rose Wholesale. Rosewholesale.com, is a fast growing online retailer offering high quality products at amazing prices. There are many various clothes, bags, shoes, etc... They update their stock regularly, and there's always some kind of deal going on!

The kind people at Rose Wholesale sent me these lovely wedge heels [available here]

The shoes came in quite quickly, I believe in 2 weeks~ Which isn't bad when coming from across seas. They came nicely packaged and with it's own box.

Details on the shoes include: cross straps with adjustable hook, which is also detachable; and a cute gold heart charm.

The height of the shoe starts at 3 cm in the front  and 10.5 cm at the heel. The incline of the shoe isn't that steep since it is a platform.

At first, I was a bit weary since the first time I would be wearing the heels out, I was going around shopping and before hand I forgot to wear the heels in or stretch them, which I always do when I get shoes... But surprisingly, these shoes wore in quite quickly and didn't give me any problems. Admittedly, my heel was a bit sore at the 3 hour mark but that's kind of a given but no blister, which is always a good thing!

The shoes are relatively comfortable, I didn't have any issues walking around for an extended amount of time but I probably wouldn't wear them say to an amusement park. They're a very good casual heel for a day or night out.
They are casual enough to be dressed down and elegant enough to dress up~ I feel like I'll be able to get a lot of wear out of them!

Above, my shopping outfit and how I chose to style the shoe.

I am really excited to wear them with a ruffled sock or patterned stockings, they will really make a great compliment to the design of the shoe.

Also, the shoes come in two other colours: tan and black~ It's very tempting to stock up on the other two colours, I can envision outfits for them already;;

I'm very happy with my item from RoseWholesale, and content with the service and the professionalism of the staff behind it. Thank you Rose Wholesale for the lovely product and introduction to a new place to shop for multiple occasions and for others.

Winter Disney Nails~

 I have a new and pretty nail set, once again, done by Atlas Studio
I had three girls working on me, but I believe the nail artist I had majorly this time was Hana[?]

It's a classic Disney nail set featuring Bambi and Patch from 101 Dalmatians and a pretty tea set.

A few of the insane details. I think this nail set took the longest on record for me, 5 hours.. But, even the tea pots and cups are super detailed with flowers~

I'm always so amazed what the artists can do with a tiny brush on a nail surface...

My cute 3d portion with floral work and a bow to 'tie' it together<3

I love Atlas Studio, their nail techs and their atmosphere and I can't wait till my next nail set.

[[For those that are curious, these are my natural nails. Kinda crazy, huh?]]

Small but adorable Christmas gifts~

Hehe~ So, my friends family/ usually give money of little handmade goodies, but I did come out of Christmas with two little cuties. One for my phone/purse and the other to hang in my car.

'Shi ro ku ma' from San-X Sumikko Gurashi line~ 

All the little characters have some kind of back story, like the polar bear likes warm climates, the penguin ?has an identity crisis and is unsure whether he's a penguin or a kappa.  Then, little tonkatsu is the last bit of katsu left on the plate who is mostly fried bit and a tiny piece of meat. They all like sitting in corners and are very cute.

 Then I got my second molang plush to really start my collection growing<3  He has a little suction cup to attach to my car window.

 Cute little plush butts.
I'm so very thankful for my Christmas prezzies but these two are so photogenic and asdhjk~

 My mini molang with my larger molang plush from Emii [that she sent me for my birthday].

I might have a think for marshmallow type plushies.

Hope you liked seeing my cute babes~

Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette, review~

 Wahoo, my first Naked palette! Tbh, the first two didn't strike my fancy especially since I had a lot of those UD shadow pots and/or similar shades. I'm queen of neutral colours basically.
But, this palette really drew me in. I mean 'rose hues' is the theme of the set~ And, as a rose hued kind of person I kind of had to have it;;

 ^^ Packaging~ Okay, so I kind of hate that the casing is tin. It makes me kind of nervous of dropping it  and eek, I just really don't like metal packaging... I mean I guess it's easy to wipe down to clean it and it will look nice just as long I don't dent or scratch it...

 So the package comes with little trial versions of their eye primers. I LOOOVE their eye primers, I personally use the original primer potion on a daily basis. I was kind of afraid the little samples would be pots since that would mean it would be a one time use per package. But happily it's a squeeze pouch so it's easy to close and keep in good condition for a few uses.

 Dun dara dun! The colours! Apparently these are all new shades so that's really exciting! I tried filtering it to show off the correct tones;; There's really no justice done compared to how it glows in person.

The palette also comes with a crease and shadow brush... Good quality but I prefer my own brushes over the given one.

So here are my swatches, in order, using the original primer potion as a base~

Strange: matte bone/cream colour
Dust: flesh/pinky glitter
Burn out: perfect light rose gold metallic
Limit: matte pink/taupe
Buzz: purply, pinky glitter
Trick: pink copper metallic [similar to half baked but more pink to it]

Nooner: pinky/purple taupe matte
Liar: rose bronze glitter, metallic? I can't figure it out but it's pretty..
Factory: golden metallic with a little dark pink sheen
Mugshot: Dark gold/brown glitter
Darkside: Mauve brown metallic
Blackheart: Dark dark brown, almost black with red glitter

Like all Urban Decay shadows, they're incredibly pigmented and have little to no fall out and are just silky soft like a butterfly's wing~

The palette is so worth the $52 USD price tag! I'm just hoping the release the colours in the palette separately down the road if I need a refill;;

 My eyeshadow look using the palette~

On the lid I used, Strange and Dust.

On the inner crease, I used Limit.

Then, the outer crease I did in Nooner [totally in love with this colour] and darkened the outer crescent with Liar and Factory.

Finally, I highlighted under my brow with Strange.

I then gave myself a strong winged liner, brought some of Nooner on my lower lash line and highlighted my under eye with UD's Vanilla [not from the palette;;] to finish it off!

 Pretty rose eyes~
[On a random note, I'm totally going to try filing in my brows with Limit to see how it fares, I feel like it would be my perfect brow colour...]

How do you feel about the New Naked 3?
Do you own any Naked Palettes and which is your fave?
