Rose Wholesale Purse: This post sort of contains Harry Potter

So here is my final item from Rose Wholesale.  It's this cute messenger, cross body, bag, in Red Wine.  First of all this cost $11.05 USD, and measures 26.5x8x18cm.  So it's not a large bag, but isn't not small.  It's made from Polyurethane, and is in a red wine colour.  I'll probably post better photos at a later date. I wanted to go outside with it take some photos, but it's too cold :(

Please take the comic book button away from me

 Front

  Now when I got this bag it smelt horrible, like chemicals.  But I've had it for about 2 weeks and the smell has pretty much disappeared unless you put it right up to your nose and take a deep sniff.  The other thing I noticed was the front wasn't really the front.  When you open it, it's just a side pocket.  When you open the other side, it's an identical side pocket, and the flap opens all the way to reveal the inside of the bag.  This is a bit inconvenient because when you want to open the bag you have to pull it away from your body.  I also noticed that the stitching in places was a bit inconsistent and the gold parts scratch easily.  Another aesthetics thing is while I like how it has a zipper, I don't like how it pokes out at the end.  I can honestly say the bag itself didn't feel cheap, the shoulder strap  seemed flimsy.

 Back

 When you open up the front there's a side pocket

 Inside pocket for cell phone.

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix fits snugly in this bag.

Unless you are American.

Over all though I do like the bag.  It's cute, and it feels sturdy.  I don't expect to have this bag for decades.  If I end up wearing it a lot, it will be a miracle if it last 2 years.  But you know what?  Even though it's a bit flawed, I'm fine with that because was just over $10 USD.  You get what you pay for.  I can safely say, I'm excited to wear it with a dress.

If you would like this you can find this bag on their site, in Red Wine and a multitude of other colours. 

Now my final thoughts on Rose Wholesale.  I was looking at their Facebook page and they seem to get a lot of complaints about shipping, customer service and the quality of the stuff they send. 1)Especially when it comes to the clothing.  These are clearly cheap, knock offs, so don't plan on getting a winter jacket from here if you live actually want something warm.  Again, you get what you pay for. 2) It's in China, so it does take a while.  But I will say reading some of those comments showed that some of their stuff takes a super long time to get to people.  Way longer than I think it should.  Honestly I'm still weary of this site.  When I go online and see reviews it's almost always from bloggers who were sent stuff for review.  I would like to see some more positive reviews from people who have actually shopped there.  If you do want to order, I would suggest you stay away from clothing.  Most of the time when I see someone satisfied about their stuff, it's normally jewelry.  At this point I personally don't think I could order anything on my own from them.  Not unless they become consistent, and reliable.

It’s a Christmas Miracurl! - NailPolishCanada.com is giving away 3 Babyliss Miracurl’s ($600 value)

Now you may ask yourselves "How does Kas get her hair so curly?".  Well I'm here to drop a truth bomb on you.  I was born this way.  But if you weren't born with a mane that rivals a majestic lion after a fight, while trying to assert his dominance I have the next best thing:

Every holiday season millions experience a sense of sadness at the flatness in their life. In an effort to cope some find themselves straining important relationships. 

“I know my husband loves me, but another day where I’m running late trying to curl my hair in a mad dash is just a fight waiting to happen”  - Katie B

Could people go without curled hair? They could, but experts agree such a lack of regard and care is sure to result in a coal filled stocking.

Thanks to Rose Wholesale I can now be more like Beyoncé...Minus Jay-Z.

So what you are about to see is our first non polish, but still beauty related post(We've had loads of random nothing to do with beauty posts).  When we started this blog our intent was to be a mostly nail blog, with other beauty stuff too...we just never got around to that...Until now.

A company called Rose Wholesale contacted us to review some of their products.  After having a look at their website, and looking them up online(since this was my first encounter with them) I decided to say yes.  The Best way to describe Rose Wholesale to you guys is it's the Born Pretty of fashion.  Clothing, shoes, jewelry, you name it, they have it for next to nothing.  I will admit the site is a bit overwhelming as they have thousands of items.  Here is the first of three Items I have to show you.

First is this "Chic Style Solid Color Embellished Nail Wrap Shape Alloy Ring For Women", in bronze(also comes in gold and silver).  It was one of those things, you look at it and think "You're so weird...I need you". It reminded me of some crazy claw finger, that someone like Beyoncé would wear.  I was on the fence about getting this because it was one size.  Eventually I figured if it didn't fit I would figure out a way to Macgyver it.  To my excitement whenI tried it on it fit PERFECTLY on my middle finger. You should know 2 things about my fingers.  1)They are skinny 2) They are long.  My middle finger is almost 13cm from knuckle to tip. The ring is 11cm long and did not fit too tight or too loose around my finger.  Even though the ring covered my whole finger I was still able to use and bend it normally and I was in no way worried about breaking it.  I didn't take a photo of it, but I can easily make a fist while wearing it.

 It looks like I killed a snake in battle, and I am now wearing his snake armor as a warning to others.

I kind of love this ring.  No, it may not be an everyday ring, or for everyone, but I can't wait to wear this on a night out *cough*newyears*cough*.  It's bold and fun, and perfect for the skinny, long fingered people out there.  And I can still hold my beer comfortably.  This ring retails for $3.38 USD.  Shipping costs depend on what you are getting and weight.  BUT small items like this generally ship for free :D.  Also shipping usually take a few weeks, but when shipped from far away(China), with normal shipping, a few weeks is normal.

Could you get away with wearing something like this?  Beyoncé could.
