I am passionate about fashion and beauty + have an unhealthy addiction to online shopping!
I have a YouTube channel where I give honest reviews about fashion, beauty and makeup products! I also make videos on fashion lookbooks and makeup looks if you ever need inspiration ;) https://www.youtube.com/hoodedeyess/
I love shopping clothes, makeup and skincare + creating different outfits and makeup looks!
I love the huge selection of jewellery available at Lovisa for extremely affordable pricing. There are also always tons of sales going on. Although the jewellery can tarnish quickly, its preventable by applying nail polish/tarnish spray! Love their low shipping cost (around $3 I think) and fast it arrives!

Almost everything at Daiso is $2.80, which is extremely cheap compared to other stores that sells similar things. They are mostly focused on home objects, but include some beauty as well. Quality is usually great for such cheap pricing.

Products: absolutely stunning, all of their jewelry pieces have that timeless, classy, elegant design perfect for work/everyday wear

I love shopping on Amazon! They have such a wide variety of products and affordable prices. Free shipping with amazon prime is also really handy!
All of Tarte's products have quite good quality, however, only a few products truly blow it out of the park - namely Tarte Shape Tape and the Toasted Eyeshadow palette. In general, all of their products are easy to use and very pigmented. Shipping costs a flat rate of $10, and takes about 2-3 weeks to arrive. I've never tried contacting their customer service before, but I've heard they are really good!

Generally, quite a nice store to shop at! I bought a satin wrap dress and it was better than I expected! The quality was amazing, the material was really comfortable, and it fit my body perfectly. They do always have sales on their website, so its always good to look out for those.
Tip for consumers:
Watch out for sales!

I love shopping from the Iconic! I love that they provide free shipping over $50 (which is very easy to achieve), and that they also allow for free returns. This makes online shopping so much easier because I can easily return/exchange items that don't fit me well, without having to pay for extra shipping. Shipping times are really fast (takes less than 3 days). I also love their website, everything is so clearly displayed and organised! Their customer service is amazing, and I always love shopping from there.
Most items on the Iconic are quite expensive, but they always have great sales to reduce the prices a bit!
Tip for consumers:
Make sure to keep on the tags + packaging of the clothes when you first try them on - that way, if it doesn't fit, you can easily return it.
Clothes without tags or not in its original packaging cannot be returned.

I love all the products from L'Oreal! They have some of the best drugstore makeup that outweighs the performance of luxury makeup. My favorites are the Lash Paradise Mascara (volumizes my lashes sooo much + can hold the curl of my lashes, with minimal fall out). The Infallible foundation is also amazing, it's very full coverage and will hide any blemishes on your skin, legit perfect for oily skin.
Tip for consumers:
Defs worth a try!
