Rose Ring: £3.50
Three Colour Plait Scissor Adjustable Bracelet: £2
Silver Teapot Charm Adjustable Bracelet: £1.50
Pastel Gradient Owl Necklace: £5
Pastel Cake and Silver Fork Necklace: £5

A few weeks ago I was asked to promote the business 'Odds and Sorts'. I was very happy to be promoting these products because they are so quirky and pretty! I was told my parcel was sent and was so excited! Around two days after my parcel was sent I woke up to find it already delivered (Very fast delivery). I had to admit, I was like a child on Christmas when I seen this. It was wrapped so neatly and presented beautifully. 



This is how it was wrapped. It had a 'Odds & Sorts' sticker and was wrapped in a vintage paper packaging which was lovely. The box inside was beautiful. It had a sticky floral ribbon holding it together. When I opened the box I was amazed. The pieces were so beautiful!


This is what I received in my packaging. I was surprised to see how safely they were wrapped not for anything to get tangled or broken whilst shipping. I'm going to write below each product I received and a little about it.

White Rose Ring:
I was super happy when I found out I had one of these. I had one very similar to this before and then lost it so was happy to have one similar. I loved the colour because it can go with literally any outfit and any style of outfit. It can be worn with a simple pair of denim shorts and converse or can be dressed up with a smart dress and heels. The ring is also adjustable so it can fit any finger which is brilliant!

Scissor Adjustable Bracelet:
I love how quirky and simple this bracelet it. It is great for the summer weather for wearing with a colourful dress or shorts. This will definitely be taken on holidays with me. Also it opens wide enough that I could even use it as an anklet which I was amazed by. Really happy with this!

Teapot Bracelet:
This bracelet is so pretty. If you all seen me on Instagram then you know I'm a massive lover of the colour pink. I like to wear this when I'm wearing a casual outfit such as jeans and converse/flatforms and add more bracelets with it to layer it up.

Gradient Owl Necklace:
This piece is so beautiful. I was in awe when I first seen it. I love how the thread blends into different colours. Because of the multi-colours in the thread it can be paired with any outfit!

Pastel Cake and Silver Fork Necklace:
This is the CUTEST necklace i have ever seen. Probably my favourite piece of jewellery I own. I must admit I love all quirky jewellery but I've never seen anything like this. Absolutely so amazing!


Overall I am super happy with everything I received. All the products are great quality and I would definitely recommend this company to everyone!!!


Here's me looking super happy with my rose ring:)

Libs Decoden Custom Phone Case Review

Custom Phone Cases
Price Varies Depending on Cases!



So, I was on Instagram one day and was approached by this amazing company asking to sponsor them. I looked on their account and seen the gorgeous items so of course I said yes. Once it was confirmed that  I was promoting, I discovered the owner was really lovely.

Firstly, I was asked what make of phone I had and what colour case I would like. You can chose from a wide range of colours which is brilliant! Once I had chosen the colour case, I was then asked to pick what I would like on my case. They have a variety of photos on their instagram page of the various decals they have. They have figurines of cartoon characters as well as cute little diamantes and food related charms. You can also chose if you want your case to be a busy case (loads of charms layered on it) or if you want it pretty plain. Another thing I loved about making my own case is that you had an option to add your name to it which is amazing! 

You don't need to be concerned in any way about what the layout of the case will look like as you will be sent a photo of a plan of your case with the charms in their place. If you don't like the layout you can compromise with the owner and say what you want it to be like. The owner will send you daily updates of the making of the case and saying how it's going which is brilliant. 

When my product was finished and I received it through my door I was so excited! It was neatly wrapped and was in bubble wrap so it couldn't be damaged. The case come with a business card which made the difference because it makes the company look professional. I was absolutely stunned by my case when I seen it. I was overwhelmed with how it looked and it exceeded my expectations. It was beautifully made and you could tell it wasn't rushed. One concern of mine that I was worried about was if the white on the case would be hard, but once I had seen my case I realised the white was squishy which was a relieve. This acts as a protection for when you accidentally drop your phone too. 

Overall, I would highly recommend this company to anyone who wants a custom phone case. You can personalise it to what you want and they are really cheap too!

Avon Kates World Pretty Trendy Spray Review

Avon 
'Kate's World Pretty Trendy Eau De Toilette Spray'
50ml
£8.00




I was having a browse in my monthly 'Avon' catalogue and seen this spray. I seen that it was just £8 and decided to give it a try. When I received it, It came in a pretty white box with the same image it has on the bottle. The bottle is really pretty too and looks girly.

This scent is said to smell like vanilla and raspberries which I would totally agree with. The smell is really nice and fruity. It is not too strong smelling but it doesn't fade too. I have had a compliment whilst wearing this scent. The only disadvantage I'd say about this is that compared to the other sprays I reviewed you don't get much for your money with this spray. Where as the 'Hollister Crescent Bay' body mist is 250ml and is £12, this is only 50ml and is £8. But I suppose you pay for quality and this seems to be in good quality!

Overall, I would recommend this to a friend. It is not the best scent I've ever had from Avon but it fit's it purpose and smells lovely. You can purchase this from the link on Avon's website:

You can purchase this on Avon's website, just search for the description I put on the start of this post. Or you could see if anyone in your area you live is an Avon representative, that way you don't have to pay postage.

Hollister Crescent Bay Body Mist Review

Hollister Body Mist
'Crescent Bay'
250ml
£12




So, around two years ago when I was in school a few friends were saying how good this body mist was and after I tried one of my friends 'Crescent Bay' body mist I decided I loved the smell.  I went into the Hollister shop and tried out the different scents but settled on this pink one. I have been using this body mist ever since.

I would describe the smell as fruity and summery. It's definitely for the sweet smelling lovers. It comes out of the bottle quite finely so your clothes don't get wet when you spray it on you.The smell is quite dominant when you first spray it but then fades away after 5 minutes or so.  Having said that though, I once spilled near enough half of a bottle in the bottom of my college bag which the smell lingered for weeks or maybe months lol! Whenever I go to work I always spray this on because I'm working with kids and I find this smell would be more suitable for kids and they would probably like it.

Overall, I love this product. It lasts for a long time and is reasonably priced I would recommend it to anyone who's looking for a nice smelling but cheap scent!

H&M Shimmering Body Splash

H&M Shimmering Body Splash
 'Lights on Me Please'
 250ml
£1.00 reduced from £2.99


So a few months ago I was browsing in H&M because I LOVE their clothes and came across this product. It was in the sale section and was originally £2.99 but had been reduced to just £1. As some as you know I dress up as Disney Princesses for children's birthday parties, I figured this would be good to spray on me to glitter myself up. 

I then bought this and later in the week when I had a party I decided to try it out. I must admit, when you spray it a lot of it sprays so you could possibly end up being soaked haha! But it does what it said on the bottle and I looked so glittery. It didn't come out in lumps of glitter and spread evenly on my skin. The scent on this is absolutely beautiful and if I could buy it as a scent on it's own without the glitter I definitely would. I always have compliments on the scent when I wear this too. A disadvantage of this is that it can sting if sprayed on a sunburnt area, so be careful with that.

Overall I think this product is brilliant for the price and looks really pretty too! May I just add also that it came with a decorative frill on top which I used for something! Would 100% recommend!
