Yesstyle . com HAUL ! (image heavy)





Ok so I decided to order a couple of things from www.yesstyle.com. The total was about $154 because you have to order $150 and up worth of items to qualify for free shipping. The shipping is quite fast (3 business days) if all the items you ordered were in stock. Mines took about 2 weeks to get here because 2 items were not in stock. Overall, shipping was quite fast. Now to the haul! I ordered 7 clothing items and got a free gift from SHY SHY. Below is me and my friend trying on the clothes to compare them to yesstyle's model pictures. Hopefully this will help you guys if you're contemplating whether to buy clothes from yesstyle or not.

#1- Long-Sleeve Hooded Stripe-Trim Top (White- One Size) from SHY SHY [ $ 28 ]




4/5
This hoodie has really nice fabric and feels very comfortable. The detailing is quite good also. However, it was not as fitted as the one on the model, it is a little baggy. Also, you need to wear a white tank underneath because the material is a bit see through. 

#2- Piano Print Sweatpants (Black- One Size) from SHY SHY [ $ 25 ]



5/5
I absolutely LOVE these pants. They are sooo comfortable! The material is not as thick as regular sweatpants so they are nice for the warm weather and chillaxing around the house. They are also very unique- I've had a couple of people ask me where I've gotten these. However, I wouldn't really recommend getting these if you are a lot taller than 160cm because they cut me right above my ankles when I sit down and I am 160cm. But then again, PERFECT length for us short asians :p

#3- Loose-Fit Smocked Print Top (Black- One Size) from PUFFY [ $ 14.40 ]



4/5
I was very happy with this top as seeing how it is practically identical to the one in model picture from yesstyle. Again, the quality and fabric is very nice. Not thin at all. The only thing is that this shirt is kind of plain and I'm not that big on the sleeves that cut me around the triceps area > makes my arms look wider. But other than that, this top is very good : )

#4- Off-Shoulder Polka Dot Chiffon Top (Black- One Size) from Tokyo Fashion [ $ 25 ]


2.5/5
Although, this top looks half decent in the pictures, it's not that great in person lol. First, the straps that come attached to the top are positioned very awkwardly (too far apart) and keep on falling off of the shoulders. Second, the ruffles and elastic around the shoulder/bust area makes that area look super wide and busy. However, the fabric is very good lol as always. 

#5- Frilled Floral Chiffon Dress (Red- One Size) from Tokyo Fashion [ $19.80 ] 



5/5
I have nothing bad to say about this dress! It is so pretty and airy.The fabric is amazing :D > very light and smooth for the summer. It fits me perfectly. The bust part is all elastic and very comfy. Very good purchase <3

#6- Dolman-Sleeve Oversized Long Top (Black- One Size) by 59 Seconds [ $ 22.40 ]



5/5
I am in love with this over sized shirt! Although I would never wear something this baggy outside, I love wearing it around the house > perfect for sleeping. It is so comfy!!

#7- Long-sleeve Scoopneck Oversized Top (Wine Red- One Size) from SHY SHY [$ 25]



1.5/5
This shirt is beyond fail. It is NOT BAGGY at all! The red color is more like cherry red than wine red. The sleeves are too short for my liking. It does not fall off the shoulder at all unless you force it down. The only good thing about it is the fabric (very nice quality) and the pockets (very big and unique). I would not wear this shirt at all... 

FREE GIFT from SHY SHY- Gift box necklace





It is super adorable! Nothing bad about a wonderful free gift : )

Lip Gloss Review: MAC, Buxom, Smashbox




Time for my first post/review! Yay : ) (spent so much time on the banner =__=) Anyways, this post is on a review of the current lip make up I use~ I love all three but for different reasons. Lets starto~! (below = pic spam :D)



 

[What they claim] 
- Create a high gloss, glass-like finish or a subtle sheen
- Pigmented, very shiny and can impart subtle or dramatic color
-Contains Jojoba Oil to help soften and condition the lips

[What I think]
Pros: intense color, smells nice, smooth
Cons: very sticky, a pain to remove because the glitter is so hard to get off
Overall: This is more like a really saturated pink than a sheer pink. It looks nice if you don't use a heavy blush or eyeshadow.





[What they claim]
- Naturally creates the look of fuller, more voluptuous lips
- Imparts a luminous high shine with no sticky or tacky feeling

- Deep infusion of antioxidant vitamins A and E help keep lips soft, smooth, and protected, while tingly and cooling sensation reminds you that your lips are getting an immediate increase in fullness

[What I think]
Pros: Lip plumping, sheer, nice smell
Cons: still sticky (i guess all lip glosses are gonna be somewhat sticky)

Overall: I love the minty tingly feeling that plumps the lips and it does make them appear fuller (maybe it's just the shine). Great for everyday use for a natural glossy pale pink look. 






[What they claim]
- Smooth feel of Smashbox's Photo Finish Foundation Primer has now been infused into a lipstick
- Lipstick is silkier, smoother, longer-wearing, and more moisture-rich than any you've tried before



[What I think]
Pros: Perfect at giving lips a natural nude color, not heavy
Cons: Doesn't go on smoothly (makes the lips seem chappy)
Overall: The nude color looks weird with some outfits because it does make the lips seem less noticeable. I don't normally wear lipstick either so I don't use it too often. It looks good if you put a gloss over it but then it feels and looks too heavy for the lips.
