Where to Get Cheap Bridesmaid Dresses for your Wedding 2023?

My chic dresses is a site that I recently stumbled across because my best friend is getting married in a few months and I've been asked to buy a bridesmaid dress for her! I'm super excited to be the bridesmaid but honestly dress shopping is a chore. It has given me a lot of stress because I simply do not know where to find affordable dresses online! I want to talk to you about why buying online is probably the best way forward! 

A bit about the brand- Mychicdress makes every girl happy by supplying cheap bridesmaid dresses at an affordable price. All the dresses are made by their own design team and shipped to customers directly with a low price. The best thing about them is that you work directly with the dressmaker when you are ordering an item, which means that the middleman is cut out thereby reducing your costs! With a combination of superb fit and attention to details that makes their dresses unique, the brand will help everyone look amazing and stylish!

Take a look below at some of my favourites! 

I've recently been browsing this amazing shop for a while and have recommend it to my friend who is getting married. They sell a great collection of  wedding dresses as well as bridesmaid and mother of the bride outfits, and I love their coloured bridesmaid dresses in particular. I'm also loving their vintage lace wedding dresses and have picked a few of my favourites to show you all as you can see above. They sell a wide range of bridal dresses for the afterparty too. I love their purple and earthy tones, and these dresses look so surreal and magical. 

Buying online is cost-saving and time-saving. The shop offers returns and it's super convenient to order and input your measurements. You can save a lot of money indeed as I've been checking out shops in real life too. They do not compare to shops online at all in terms of quality and design. Actually shopping online offers so many benefits such as more styles to choose from, customisation and also the convenience of sitting in your own home while you browse!

Where to buy Wholesale Makeup Cosmetics online?

I want to introduce an affordable makeup brand called word makeup which sells some of the cheapest and best-priced wholesale makeup cosmetics online. Now, there was a time in my life when I really wanted to sell makeup products on my own Etsy or Ebay shop. However, I did not know where to find affordable products to actually sell. I want to write this article to introduce this little shop just in case any of you want to start your own shop! 

A bit about the brand- the website was set up in 2006. They are a professional cosmetics wholesale company and the agent for many popular brands of cosmetics. They actually cooperate with many countries in Asia. Their target market extends to Canada, America, the United Kingdom, Australia and more countries, so they actually service a lot of places worldwide! 

The website mainly sells wholesale makeup from major brands such as Tom Ford, Mac and Burt's Bees, amongst many others. The shop stocks these products at a low price so that dropshippers and sellers like you and I can access them easily without any problems. I mean, the most important consideration for drop shippers are the costs and time of delivery, which the shop handles pretty well. Delivery times are fast and they ship worldwide, which means that you can start your own shop anytime and anywhere! 

As you can see from the photos above, the shop sells a truly international range of cosmetic products for all. My favourites include some of Tom Ford's lipsticks, which look great on any skin color. In fact, if you want to specialise in a certain type of skincare product such as blushers, foundations or lipsticks, you can surely find the items that you need on the brand's website. The brand ships items within 24 hours of placing the order, so it's pretty convenient to use! 

Shapellx Shapewear Wishlist

Shapellx is a brand new shop that sells an awesome (and wide) range of shape wear for women of all shapes and sizes. Today I want to talk a bit about the importance of shape wear and how you can use these accessories to jazz up your style. Shapewear is an incredibly important part of any girl's wardrobe as they can cover those unwanted bumps and lumps, which means that you look more incredible in photos! 

Shapewear such as the thong shapewear can elevate your outfit instantly because they provide curve and shape to your hip area. Thongs are usually seamless and the brand's awesome range of thong shape wear can actually make you look slimmer and shapelier under your garments and dresses. For example, I usually wear such shapewear pieces when I am going to formal events like balls and dinners. Using these undergarments, I can make my hips look smoother and less "chunky" which means that I look way better in photos! 

Another type of shape wear to try are high waist shaping shorts which give the wearer ultimate control over how their thighs and butt looks. I love high-waisted shaping shorts because when I wear them I simply do not feel like I am wearing a constricting garment. Shorts are figure-hugging and protects against unwanted exposure (e.g. if you are wearing a short dress) so they kind of have a dual functionality, which is perfect for busy people who go out and about a lot. I love how the high-waisted function tucks your tummy in too. 

Lastly, the brand sells a huge range of plus size waist trainer which are suitable for curvier girls who want to achieve that Kim Kardashian-type body. The hourglass shape is super trendy right now, and curvy girls are sure to love what Shapellx has to offer! 

Natural Beauty- StrawberryNET review and 10% discount code!

 Hi everyone! It's finally September and I'm keen to share a few skincare products from the Natural Beauty (東森自然美) range at StrawberryNET that I love. This exciting brand has a lot to offer, and I'm so excited to show you guys some of my latest items from my recent skincare haul. 

A bit about Natural Beauty- created in 1972 by Dr. Tsai Yan-ping, Natural Beauty is based on natural beautification methods and the business philosophy of “nature is beauty”. This amazing brand is a natural skincare and beauty brand based technology created in Taiwan. In addition to skincare, beauty, aromatherapy, health supplement and cosmetics products, Natural Beauty also offers a range of comprehensive professional services for beauty and body treatments. 

The brand is perhaps best known for researching and investing in stem cell technologies which can enhance their range of skincare products, as well as deliver more efficient results for women and men all over the world. Their international research efforts and award-winning products meant that the brand has won more than 40 international and domestic awards! Isn't that amazing? 

Anyway, I want to talk about some of the items that I've recently purchased from Natural Beauty, which are retailing at very affordable prices on StrawberryNet's site. Take a look below! 

I'd like to talk a little about each product and provide honest reviews of what I think. I gave each of these products a week-long trial before writing, so this is completely my opinion! 

1) Golden Yeast Skin Activating Treatment Essence- I've been using essences for a long time (ever since my first Korean beauty haul) and I have to say, this Natural Beauty product surprises me. It's much more nourishing and richer than the other essences that I've tried. Made from selected placental proteins from Japan & New Zealand, it is high in amino acids, minerals, vitamins & proteins. This means that every drop provides the skin with nutrition and a lot of energy while improving its defence against free radicals and damages from the sun. I used this essence for a week and my skin feels plumper, softer and smoother. 

The most interesting part of this product is that it contains Japanese sake, which is said to be rich in peptides and amino acids. I've never quite used a product like this, but I'm very impressed! 

2) BioUP Rose Collagen Intensive Serum Foundation (SPF 50) - this foundation is pretty unique for it contains natural ingredients found in nowhere else. One of the key ingredients of this item is "Cistus Extract" from Mediterranean Sea, which enhances the skin's self-healing properties. This ingredient also helps the skin defend against external aggressions while fighting pigmentation caused by UV rays. Personally, I love the velvety texture and it's easy-to-apply texture. It's very smooth and glided onto my skin really well. I wore this foundation to my school's formal dinner and my skin looked extra glowy through the night! 

3) Natural Beauty Aromatic Cleansing Balm- personally I'm not a huge fan of cleansing balms as I normally prefer cleansing oils. However, every girl should have a cleansing balm because it's much easier to carry when you're travelling. This balm is not like any other, for it contains advanced Bi-continuous Microemulsion technology to remove both water & oil makeup effortlessly. Certainly, when I used it on my face last night, my heavy makeup came off almost immediately. I was pretty surprised, as I usually have to re-apply cleansing balms twice before my face gets cleaned from the waterproof mascara that I wear on a daily basis! I love this balm so much, and highly recommend it! 

4) Rosehip Renewal Oil- rich in multiple botanical extracts and organic Australian argan oil, this rosehip oil really made my skin appear firmer, softer, smoother, brighter and instantly revived! I'm really pleased with this product as it's lightweight and not too greasy, which is important because I haven't really tried beauty oils before. This is now the last step in my skincare routine and I have to say, my skin never looked better. 

Hope you like them and do shop from StrawberryNET if you want discounted prices, great quality and lovely products.

Honest Aumnie Review + Discount Code!

Hey everyone! Aumnie is one of my favourite yoga accessories shop that I buy from in Hong Kong. I own some yoga clothing, mats and towels from their awesome brand. Today, I want to talk about 2 new purchases that I got from the brand because they are simply amazing, and some of the best yoga mats that I've ever used! Take a look below! 

The first item that I got was this M@ Equilibrium yoga mat, which came in a beautiful rubbery black color. The M@ Equilibrium was designed for all levels of practice, from beginners to teachers and everyone in between. It's a mat that contains all essential ingredients of a great mat, such as superior grip, a washable surface and a reinforced top layer for extra elasticity. It's made from 100% natural rubber, which means that it's eco-friendly and also decomposes if you ever use this mat up to it's life expectancy. It's a brilliant mat which has completely changed my yoga practice and one that I frequently use for trips as it's travel-friendly too! 

The second item that I got (and one which my dog absolutely loves sitting on) is M@TWL Ambrosia Towel, which is beautiful and brilliantly coloured. It's got the best grip and comes in a lovely pattern, and best of all it is super lightweight. I use it as a coverup on yoga mats when I have classes outside, and it can even be used as a towel if you want to absorb sweat during other workouts. It's totally versatile and an amazing yoga towel that can be used anywhere, anytime. 

The last item that I got was this smaller M@TWL Ambrosia towel, which is essentially the same as the above but in a smaller size. I love this compact little towel and it brings me a lot of joy to carry this to my hot yoga classes, hikes and other outdoor events when I need an extra padding (for stretches) or just as a mat for sitting on in the great outdoors. Overall, it is such a statement piece and looks brilliant! 

Aumnie never fails to disappoint, so they're well worth checking out!

Advantages of Elevator Shoes

Are you a guy and thinking of ways to grow taller without making it seem obvious? Are you someone's spouse or partner and constantly think about ways for your man to appear taller? Well, today I want to talk about something called elevator shoes- these are essentially height increasing shoes that does what it says on the tin: make any man (or woman) grow taller without looking obvious. 

Elevator shoes such as those from chamaripa elevator shoes are stylish, gorgeous and comfortable. Changing your height might not be as complicated as it once was, and with a good pair of elevator shoes, any man can look taller in seconds. This one little change can make all the difference in terms of outlook in life, and appearance, and even the first impression you leave on others. Here are a few advantages of wearing a pair of taller shoes. 

First, height-increasing shoes offer men an instant confidence boost, as being taller is usually associated with feeling more powerful, dominant and masculine. The average height of an American man is 5'9 or around 176cm. For men who aren't as lucky to be on the average end, elevator shoes can put them on the same footing as other men for any occasion. Being taller than other people will give you a confidence boost and make you feel like you're on equal grounding with everyone. 

Second, elevator shoes are pretty versatile and can help you look more polished and refined. Height-increasing shoes are no longer what it used to be- clunky, thick and unfashionable. Nowadays, elevator shoes are usually made to look just like normal shoes, and can also be suitable for every occasion. For example, these chamaripa dress shoes would look elegant and put together for a wedding or business meeting, or for any occasion where you want to look more dominant by standing over everyone else by a few inches. These shoes are made for comfort and come in a variety of luxurious materials such as leather and suede. 

Lastly, elevator shoes can improve your quality of life by a lot as it can offer more support than regular shoes. A lot of people have flat feet or wear shoes that simply don't fit. Elevator shoes usually offers more of a boost than others by a thicker sole or better-quality shoe upper, which means that you're investing in a better pair of shoes for your wellbeing. Wearing taller shoes means that your feet are more supported, making walking easier than ever. 

In summary, if you're looking for ways to look and feel taller, do consider getting a pair of taller shoes such as some Chamaripa elevator men shoes and you'll notice the difference immediately! 

Best Plant Shop in Hong Kong- Green It Up HK Review

Living in Hong Kong literally means you're living in a concrete jungle, and I've always taken an interest in making my living space a little more green so that I could feel like I 'escaped' from the city when I'm resting at home. Today, I want to share with you one of the best plant shops in Hong Kong that you should know about. Green It Up HK is an amazing plant shop in Hong Kong that sells some of the best quality plants that I've seen in the city. As a person who recently moved houses, I really needed something signature to decorate my room. My room is a large, spacious west-facing bedroom with a really cute terrace area which I wanted to fill with plants. 

I figured out that I'd order something special from Green It Up HK, and decided on two lovely cactuses. Green It Up's customer service was amazing. The owner was very communicative, and sent me Whatsapp messages to update me on the colors, designs and when the plants would be arriving. The owner was extremely nice and friendly, which made the whole experience amazing. I really love how the delivery times are fast too, and you can get lovely plants delivered to your doorstep anywhere you are! 

The first little plant that I got was this small cactus, which was about 40cm tall and looked super stunning on my windowsill. Greenitup sells small, medium and large plants that are suitable for outdoors and indoors, but this cactus is definitely something that stood out to me when I browsed their site. Their website was easy to navigate and user-friendly, which meant that I could see everything they had for sale. This brilliant little cactus comes in a plastic pot, but I choose one of their signature square cement pots to match my room's decor. Take a look below at how I styled it in my window ledge! 

The pots that are sold by Green It Up HK are really good quality and beautifully designed. Made from a special factory, they have normal cement pots and signature pots which have an extra element of design to them. This little beige pot, which you can see above, was square-shaped with rounded corners. This gives the pot a lovely smooth finish, and an elegant touch. I love how it matches my cactus and it makes the plant look extra beautiful. Green It Up sells pots that are extremely affordable, so I'd highly recommend checking out their range of planters if you want to find something to match your plant! 

The second gorgeous plant that I got was this large, 80cm tall trio of cactuses which was impressively large and would make such a statement piece for any room in the house. This is probably my favourite plant from their shop, since it is such an aesthetic and unusual piece. I was trying to go for a more industrial look in my bedroom, and found that this trio of cactuses matched my decor really well. In fact, the largest cactus is around 80cm tall, and the smaller one is 40cm, which means that they have plenty of room to grow! 

I decided to put the cactus in one of the shop's signature big round cement pots in beige, which looked lovely and matched the other pot very well. This high-quality cement pot features a ridged outer design, and a lovely smooth base, and comes in black as well if you want something a bit darker. I love how the pot fitted my cactuses really well, and it just looks stunning and adds so much to the overall look of the plants! 

Overall, I'd highly recommend Green It Up HK as one of my favourite plant shops in Hong Kong. Their impeccable quality of plants, and amazing customer service means that I'll definitely be a repeated customer. I really love my cactuses and think they would spice up any Hong Kong apartment, whether you're in a tiny studio or a giant luxury mansion!

Best of British Skincare- My SBC Skincare Review

SBC skincare is a wonderful UK-based skincare brand that I want to introduce to you today. I've never quite enjoyed using chemically-covered skincare products such as those high street brands advertised in the media. They lead to me getting more pimples and I feel a bit icky when I use products that are too harsh. I've switched to using completely natural skincare products but sometimes it's hard to find brands that offer products that are suitable to sensitive skin. Sometimes, natural skincare lines are too oily or heavy, and can leave a sticky residue behind after use. 

SBC's collagen cream cleanser is a godsend for those who wants the perfect natural cleanser. Made from marine collagen, this cleanser completely rehydrates the skin and reduces puffiness but also cleans the face really, really well. And when I say well, I mean, it's one of the best cleansers I've used for my combination skin! Other natural skincare products that I've tried are pretty heavy and oily, and often can't remove all the makeup off my face. With this lovely cleanser, the dirt and oil on my face completely goes away and my skin is left feeling extra smooth and soft! I honestly haven't tried a better skin cleanser than this one, and I would highly recommend trying it. 

The brand's Hydra-collagen Moisturising Gel is also pretty great as an after-care product after your daily face washes. I tried this product for the first time a few weeks ago, and boy, did it leave my face super smooth and hydrated. The best thing about this lotion is that it's made from a thin, clear gel which means that it is non-comedogenic, doesn't clog pores and isn't too heavy. The overall feeling that I got when I used this gel cream is that my skin felt refreshed and filled with moisture! 

Overall, I can't rave about SBC skincare enough and I highly recommend trying out these lovely, natural goodies.  

StrawberryNet Summer Wishlist + 10% OFF discount code [10FLORA]

Summer is officially here and that can only mean one thing- time to get new skincare products for those hotter, wetter months. Finding the right skincare for warmer months can be tricky because the weather is so hot in Hong Kong, and everything tends to be drier when you're working under an air conditioner in an office during the heatwave. 

I want to talk a little about my favourite Hong Kong-based skincare brand.  StrawberryNET, one of my favourite beauty brands, has a variety of skincare that is affordable and luxurious. They ship worldwide and offer fast delivery which is perfect for international shoppers such as myself. I'd love to feature 2 of their products because I think they'd make great summer skincare picks. 

The first item is this Timeless Skin Care 20% Vitamin C Serum + Vitamin E + Ferulic Acid - this fantastic miracle product is perfect for summer as it contains a special formula which moisturises your skin and prepares it for tougher conditions. A super-charged brightening facial serum, this lotion minimizes the effects of hyperpigmentation while evening out skin tone. I love the fact that this serum provides protection against environmental stressors that can accelerate the signs of ageing, which means that even if you get exposed to UV you won't dry out too much. 

The second item is this H.A Intensifier - Hyaluronic Acid Intensifier- a multi-tasking, corrective facial serum, this product features a unique serum-gel texture that creates a silky canvas on skin. It features a highly concentrated mixture with pure hyaluronic acid & proxylaneTM, and contains botanical extracts of licorice root & purple rice. These ingredients help support skin's hyaluronic acid levels & deliver surface hydration. I think this intensifier helps prime your skin for the warm weather and also protects your skin against sweat and grime. 

Overall, StrawberryNET is one of my favourite skincare shops as they have the largest range of products that I've seen for the most affordable price. You can use the code "10FLORA" for 10% off all orders (without a minimum spend).

Happy shopping! 

Best Vintage Japanese Clothing Shop- Japanese Finds Review

Japanese fashion has always been something of a wonder- their kimonos, vintage suits and blazers are all unique, slightly quirky and ultra-stylish. There's just something a little bit special about Japanese-inspired clothing, and today I want to talk about where you can find the best Japanese vintage clothing online.

The brand I will be featuring is called Japanese Finds, an amazing Etsy shop that has the biggest range of Japanese vintage clothing and kimonos that I've seen. The shop ships their vintage clothing via DHL so everything arrives after a few days of ordering, and they ship worldwide! The best thing about their brand is that all of their items are from Japan, including some vintage Burberry pieces, jackets and various other little pieces of clothing that are super unique and unusual.

I ordered this lovely grey vintage Burberry blazer from the brand, and it arrived within a few days of placing the order with Jim, the owner of the shop. Jim was fantastic to work with and answered all my questions quickly. The garment arrived in a lovely package and I opened it to find the most gorgeous Japanese vintage Burberry piece ever. Take a look below! 

As you can see, this piece is truly stunning. It features a narrow lapel typical of the 90s, and silver Burberry buttons which complements the light grey exterior of the blazer. The blazer is made from linen and it is of impeccable quality, even though it probably has been kept by the owner for over 20 years. The piece is in great vintage condition and has no smell. Jim from the shop really knows how to pick quality pieces of vintage clothing. I feel like this piece looks brand new, and has a lovely crisp finish to it. 

The hardest thing about shopping for vintage clothing is that the sizes differ. Jim puts all of the sizing in the description so you can see whether the garment fits your size. You simply have to compare your existing clothing to the measurements and voila- you can find out of the pieces fit. I would say that most of the Japanese clothing runs small, so it's always a good idea to check! 

In terms of the shipping, the piece arrived really quickly and it was in great condition. I really can't find a flaw in Japanese Find's shop at all, in terms of their customer service and shipping times. The shop sells a huge range of Japanese kimonos as well as other vintage clothing from brands like North Face, Kenzo and Ralph Lauren, which means that you'll find a variety of clothing suitable for all shapes and sizes. All garments from the shop are handpicked, selected by their professional and knowledgeable staff. They are super stylish and I would say, can be worn for a very "street style" look (if you like the colourful kimonos) but other styles such as their jackets and blazers can be worn as unique statement pieces. 

Overall, I would not hesitate to buy from Japanese Finds again. Their lovely range of clothing impressed me a lot, and their kimonos are so beautiful! If I didn't choose this blazer, I would definitely have brought a cool floral kimono to wear with my summer outfits. Hope you check out their shop!
