My New Jolie Petite Phone Case!

I just received my phone case in the mail and I think it's so cute I had to post about it!

I ordered this from Jolie Petite here!

I placed my order on May 8th, it shipped on May 22nd and I received it June 3rd. The shop owner is located in the UK, and explains on her profile that it takes about two weeks for her to make the case and then it can take a while to ship to the US. I was okay with this and waiting for it didn't bother me. She has the option of purchasing a tracking number but I didn't buy it and just figured I'd see what happened. I believe the case was $25.00 and with shipping it came to about $30.00-35.00. 

It came with instructions for care as well as a hand written thank you note and a little package of candy! How cute is that! I wasn't expecting it and it totally make receiving this case an even better experience.

It arrives wrapped in bubble wrap to protect it and it's in a little baggy with Hello Kitty on it!

The case itself if hard but the whipped cream part is soft which I wasn't expecting but I like! The other bits are hard. You do have to be relatively careful with this case as the bits can fall off if handled too roughly. Some of the tips for care were to keep it away from kids and pets, and to not use any hard cleaning products on it. 

The seller's name is Danielle and she has 99% positive feedback on her site! I had a wonderful experience ordering from her and would definitely recommend buying one of her cases! I own an iPhone 4s but she does other types of phones. I ordered a 'custom' phone case so I was able to say which types of things I'd like (Hello Kitty, pearls, candy, etc. etc.) but there are ready to ship cases as well.

This style of phone case might be a bit on the ~tacky side for some people but I love how over the top it is! I can't wait to put it on my phone and use it!

Mall Haul! (I only went for two items...)

This was an impulse buy from the MAC counter in Macy's. First of all, let me just say that I've been visiting this mall for years thinking, 'if only they had a MAC store, they'd be perfect.' I NEVER go into Macy's, but this time we parked in front of the store and the MAC counter was straight ahead of the doors. 

Anyways, I've been wanting a new concealer as the Neutrogena one I've been using forever just wasn't cutting it. I've like this so far. At first I was worried it'd be waaaay too pink but you really can't tell when it's on my face.

 This mascara was near the checkout in Sephora for $9.00. I can't remember how much the regular sized one is, but I'm thinking it's around $20.00. I like this mascara and I'm glad I bought it, but I don't think I'll be spending $20.00 on it as it's nothing spectacular.

 When I got my hair done a couple weeks ago the woman used Moroccanoil on it and my hair felt amazing afterwards! This was in a salon store for about $15.00, which is a bit steep for such a small bottle but I really wanted it.

I also found these Real Techniques brushes which I've been hearing a lot about lately. I haven't tried them all yet but so far I'm quite impressed! Special thanks to Albie for convincing me I needed both! :)

 Now onto the two things I actually went to the mall for...

NARS Sheerglow Foundation! I've read some rave reviews so I really wanted to try it. I guessed at my shade because for once I wasn't hounded by multiple Sephora girls. In fact Albie and I kind of lingered around the NARS stand for a while waiting to see if anyone would come over. 

I've been using this since I got it, and I like it. I didn't know how to feel about it at first. I was expecting a MIRACLE~*!&~^!~ or something considering the reviews I've read, but. It's just. Foundation? It feels nice and I like the coverage and the finish. But I'm not blown away. One thing I've noticed it that it sometimes builds up in my pores, something I've never had a problem with before. Maybe I'm doing something wrong, I don't know. Perhaps I'll review it once I've used it longer.

Nothing but good things to say about this brush! It's a mineral powder brush but I've been using it with liquid foundation. Love it, love it, love it. I actually wanted it because I'd seen Estee from essiebutton use it. (I'm obsessed with her by the way. You need to watch her youtube videos. NEED.)

I also got a new Hello Kitty car decal sticker since some lowlife decided they needed to steal the magnet I had on my car. (Still pissed about it. You just don't mess with other people's cars! YOU JUST DON'T!)

Also, I've been OBSESSED with this meme.

BERKS! EHRMAGERD!
