Coffee Circular Pearl Earrings from Clothingloves.net

Months ago, I wrote a blog post about a online store called clothingloves.net that offers affordable and fashionable clothing and accessories, including wedding dresses,women’s blouses, ladies’ fashion, and more (read the post HERE). The company had contacted me and asked me to tell my followers about the site and the type of items that it sells. While browsing the site before writing my post, a few dresses caught my eye and I decided to order one so that I could provide you with a full, honest review of my purchase. Check out the dress review HERE, as well as pictures of a very pretty pair of snowflake earrings that are perfect for the current season.
Since then, I have had the opportunity to try another pair of earrings. The Coffee Circular Pearl earrings below are a very affordable yet classy  pair of earrings that are perfect for work but will also look great with a fancier outfit.
The photos below make the pearls look a bit more warm toned than they are in real life. They are actually more of a mocha colour.
I like that these earrings are very light on the ears and the yellow gold coloured accents are minimal. I normally prefer shades of silver over gold but I find that the gold complements the shade of the pearls in this particular set. The little rhinestones look very elegant and add subtle hints of glamour to the earrings.
Overall, I think these earrings are pretty for the price.

Edgy Summer Nails (with rhinestone studs!)

With summer just a few days away, I thought it was time to break out some bright polishes. Normally my summer manicures begin with floral designs and progress to something a little different. This time around, I wanted to start out with something edgy, so I created this pink and blue look accented with silver rhinestone studs.
The studs are from bornprettystore.com and can be found HERE. BPS was kind enough to offer a coupon code for my blog followers/Youtube subscribers (use BEAUTY4K31 for 10% off sitewide).
The blue polish is For Audrey by China Glaze and the pink is Primrose Hill Picnic from Butter London.

The 10% off coupon also works for this super cute, sparkly panda bear ring that can be found HERE

What will you be wearing on your nails this summer?

Jewelmint Guilded Silver Bangle

Every few months I find a Jewelmint piece that really catches my eye. The pieces that I like are very dainty and classic. My first purchase was a pair of Lovely Audrey Earrings. Next, I opted for the Opera Pearl Necklace. This time around, I purchased the Guilded Silver Bangle. If you check out all three pieces you will notice a theme: classy, elegant, and sophisticated with a bit of bling.
Although the bracelet is small and delicate, it adds the perfect amount of sparkle. As you can see from the photos, the bangle consists of round and oval links that are accented by clear crystal stones. The clasp is well constructed and the bracelet’s closure is very tight and stays in place until pulled apart with a moderate amount of force. I’m not at all worried about it opening and falling off.

Since I have a very tiny wrist, I have to be careful when ordering bracelets online that I cannot try on before purchasing. This bracelet is 2 1/2 inches wide so it fits nicely. It slides up and down when i move my arm but it is not large enough to slip over my wrist. The best part is that its beautiful yet modest details make it a perfect complement for both a formal outfit or a t-shirt and jeans. I have had this bracelet for only a few weeks and have already worn it quite a few times.

Overall, I am very impressed with this bracelet and look forward to finding more Jewelmint pieces to add to my collection.

Recently I made my second Jewelmint purchase (see my first purchase HERE). I had been wanting the Opera Pearl necklace for almost six months and decided to finally make the purchase when the company was offering a makeup-related gift with purchase. I usually try to wait for promotions because, with shipping to Canada, each piece is close to $40 which seems a bit expensive to me. The current gift with purchase is a set of Butter London polishes that can be added to your order with the code JMSHINE.
The Opera Pearl necklace is a very elegant piece that is very versatile and can be worn with numerous outfit combinations. The silver chain is 44” in length and features two-toned pearl beads with rows of rhinestones. The lighter pearls are a peachy-beige colour and the darker ones are mauve. The rhinestones are peach toned with a hint of pink. There’s also a little silver tag at the end of the chain that says Jewelmint. This little added feature makes the necklace look well made, expensive, and unique. Since the necklace is very long, I like to wear it doubled up or even wrapped around my wrist a few times as a bracelet.
The necklace was beautifully packaged in a sleek black box that was wrapped with a Jewelmint bow and lined with a velvety fabric.  In my opinion, the picture on the Jewelmint site portrays the necklace accurately so I was not disappointed when I opened it. I was worried that the pearls would be much larger in person so I was happy to see that they were as dainty as they appeared on the site.
Overall, I am very pleased with this necklace and the gift with purchase (see below).

I was even more excited to order the necklace once I found out that Jewelmint was offering Benefit’s Finding Mr. Bright makeup set as a gift with purchase. While I do not wear foundation, I’m a huge fan of blushes and highlighters so I knew that this set would be perfect for me. It retails on Benefit’s website for $36 and includes two highlighters (Girl Meets Pearl and High Beam), a blush (Posie Tint), and a concealer (Erase Paste). The items are minis which I love because they are cute and small enough to fit in my purse.
I will have swatches of the products in this kit in a future post.
