Prada Vitello Grain Shoulder Bag First Impression

I received this baby today and am very happy with the purchase. It's the Prada Vitello Grain Shoulder Bag in colour Papaya which is this beautiful bright orange colour. 

I have been looking for some small shoulder to carry around for weekends or nightouts, I was looking at the LV one but opted for this soon after I saw it. 

It's made of leather vs LV's canvas, which is already a win. 

The leather is so soft. The handle is adjustable and it's long enough for me carry on my shoulder or i can just hold it with handle lightly wrapped around my wrist. It's big enough to fit in the usual things I need to carry, as my phone (an iphone 6 plus) a card holder and some makeup for touchups. 



The interior of this bag is in the same orange colour and have one small pocket at the bag with a zipper. It will be perfect to separate keys from the rest of the stuff to avoid scratching. 


All in all, I really love this bag and believe I have made right decision of choosing this over the LV shoulder bag. This is definitely a good change for all my other weekend bags. 

Now I cannot wait for the weekend to come so I can take her out for a spin. 

Thanks for reading and love you. Please follow my instagram (donnabunnyqueen) for my daily post about my outfit, makeup, daily randoms and my beloved bunnies. 

Please stay tuned and I will soon be doing a what's in my weekend purse blog or outfit blog to feature this babe.

New Fendi Zucca Zip Around Wallet Review


I have been using my LV wallet for the past few years and decided it's time to make a change so ordered myself a new one and it has just came in the mail yesterday. I have to say I am absolutely happy with this purchase. 

The wallet is approx AUD 800 (depending on the exchange rate) , you can find it on NM sites and I believe they do international shipping to Australia now.  


There are different colour of rims you can choose from and  I got the green one to add some colour. This wallet has heaps of space to hold cards, receipts and cash. TO me, I don't usually have a lot of stuff to keep in my wallet so it's pretty much empty except few cards and some cash. 

The interior is also green as the rim and I believe interior is leather while outside is classic canvas.

Unboxing my first Reebonz Order (Review)


I am super excited to receive my first order from Reebonz today. I knew Reebonz for quite a while but never purchased from them until last week I started to check their website again and found few things I like so decided to give it a go.

Since this was the first time I purchase so I chose something at a lower value, a card case. It's a Saint Laurent Card case on Reebonz for AUD 260 and I got a coupon code to get 12% off the purchase so ended up getting it for AUD 229. 

I also used this purchase to try their Lay-By payment which worked out as $45 per fortnight to complete over 2 months. Their lay by payment is interest free and can be paid off any time you wish but cannot extend after 2 months. The first payment is 20% of the entire value and item will be sent out upon the final payment. I paid off this case after one week and now it's here with me. 

The product was sent out to me second day after my final payment by Fedex Priority service from Singapore and I got it the very next day. It seriously wowed me, this delivery is faster than domestic delivery. 

The packaging is super nice. I had opened literally 3 layers of Fedex satchel bags to reveal the box wrapped inside a bubblewrap. After all the protection layers, here is this beautifully packed box. The card case is in it's original box and there was also a gold bow tied over the box. 


I did some research online and saw some people are not sure about if the products from Reebonz are authentic. But to me, this is as authentic as it can be. All the original box, tags and dust bags are packed nicely. There is also a Reebonz barcode tag for you to return the item. 


Now here is this beautiful, the case is actually navy colour. I can hardly tell only when I place it next to something jet black. This case can hold 3 cards, 1 front, 1 middle and 1 at back. 

It's perfect to have ID and couple credit cards to carry around in a little purse for a weekend night out when you don't really want to carry too much. The middle session can also hold some cash as well. 

All in all, I give Reebonz a 5 out of 5 for the first purchase experience, I can see so many more purchases are on the way from them in the near future. 

I have made 2 more purchases from them and payments are being finalised. I will upload the purchases once I receive the item.

Laneige Whitening Cushion BB Cream Review


This is another well known and also one of the first Cushion BB cream that came out. It's around USD30 comes as one compact with 15g product and another 15g refill in a separate packaging. 


The compact is quite well structured, well sealed and design is quite simple. When open up, there is a big mirror and sponge as all the other Cushion BB cream I have tried. 



This is the first Cushion BB Cream I tried has a quite strong scent, nothing bad about the scent, it's just once I peeled off the film, there is this flowery scent. I am not a big fan of the fragrance in my makeup but also don't completely against it. 


The product is very smooth and the colour I chose Natural Beige is very close to me skin tone. 


It melts in my skin quite easily and very light weight. However the coverage is not as good as the Hera UV Mist Cushion BB Cream. I would call it a light to medium coverage. The lasting power is average,I needed to touch up after 4 hours wear. 


All in all, I rate it a 3.5 out of 5.

Eight Features Cushion BB Cream Review


I know Chinese skin care brands are not as well recognised as the Korean Brands, especially for the BB creams. But, since I am a Chinese, I decided to give the Chinese brands a try as well, so here is the first Chinese Cushion BB cream review. 

It's approx USD25 which is the similar price as the Korean brands, it comes in a gold box contains one BB cream in the compact and another 15g refill. The packaging is neat and well presented. 


This is the compact, its in the rose gold colour with some print on it. I think it looks quite nice.


As the brand claims all the contents are from Korea, the inside of the compact looks exactly like the Korean brands. 


I would say the product is very smooth, I got this in Natural colour and its very close to my skin tone, just slightly lighter. It's very light weight and the coverage will be a light to medium. I don't have many discolouration on my face at the moment so I can say this product works for me, only place I needed a little extra coverage is on my nose. My nose area gets a little red sometime so I always try to put one more layer product and dust setting powder on the top which I did for this product too. The lasting power is also above average, I did need to touch up mid of the day but just simple powders. 



All in all, I rate this Cushion BB Cream a 3.5 out of 5.

Hera UV Mist Cushion BB Cream Review (Limited Edition)


I am so excited to receive this one in the mail today, it's one of the most popular and well recognized Korean cushion BB cream. The one I got is the limited edition which is in the Gold packaging and it is beautiful. 

The Hera Cushion BB cream is approx USD35 depending on where you buy from but it shouldn't be far from this mark. I saw some people would put it up to USD60 on Ebay which is so far from what it would really cost.

Here is what it looks like out of the box, it comes with a gold sand finish compact contains a 15g BB cream and another 15g BB cream refill. 


Open the compact, there is a large mirror and sponge as usual Cushion BB cream. 




After you pill off the protection film, reveal the products, I got it in Natural colour c23 which is really really close to my skin tone. I am not a pale Asian but also not too tanned.


I have to say this is slightly heavier than the Secret Kiss BB cream but it's much more easy to blend and melt into the skin. It blends in so naturally I can hardly tell I had anything on. The coverage is buildable so if my skin is behaving itself, I only need one layer. 

Hera UV Mist Cushion BB cream has SPF 50 and PA +++ so it has all the sun protection your skin will need. Korean brands know how to look after their ladies' skin. 

My skin is combination, a little oily over the T Zone but hardly get too oily around the cheeks. With this BB Cream I will need a little touchup after about 4 hours wear. I don't carry around the BB cream even though it's compact but just thought it's not hygienic to use the sponge on the makeup face then use it again on my clean skin so I just carry some dusting powder for touchup throughout the day. 



All in all, I give this Cushion BB cream a 4 out of 5.

Magellan Echo Fit Smart Sports Watch Review

I have had this watch for about a month and I have to say this is quite easy to use and meet my need for easily tracking my steps and distance throughout the day. I would't say this watch is as smart as the other sport watches that are on the market, even though the watch has its own app but the app is only there for you to set up your profile and set up the basic settings on the watch. It doesn't keep record of any activities or steps on the watch app. To be able track your running result and keep a record, you will need to download other apps and link to the watch by bluetooth before you start your workout. There are about 5-6 popular workout apps can be linked to this watch however it will be only working when you are running with your phone for the GPS to work and calculate the distance, otherwise only your steps will be counted.

I run both outdoor or indoor so if a watch only works based on GPS it will not be working for me as the indoor distance will not be calculated. However since there is no GPS installed to this watch, it purely calculate my steps and distance I make everyday and I don't really need to transfer the data to my phone for record. 

It will really depend on what you require for a sport watch as there are so many choices in the shop and they are all working differently. This watch will reset everyday in the midnight so next day the calculation will start from zero. During the time you are wearing it, all the steps you make, including the ones from room to bathroom will also be counted in. 

The purchasing price was AUD 129 and I believe you should be able to get a better deal off the internet somewhere. By the way this watch cannot be charged so if one day it runs out of battery, you will have to bring to the shop and get actual battery changed. 




My Furla Babylon Yellow Clutch Reivew


After showing you what I use and I carry during the week, this is a new member in my weekend bag collection. I don't need to carry a lot on the weekend, so usually only have my essentials in a smaller bag/clutch to go around.

This is the Furla Babylon Yellow Pouch/Clutch I purchased at Bondi Junction store the price was AUD 145 at the time of purchase. I love the colour of the bag but it has is con, so easy to get dirty.. I have to be really careful where to place it to not to stain it.  


The pouch is quite flat so cannot hold something to thick which will ruin the shape of the bag. When you open it up, there is one back pocket and eight card holders at the other side, I have never carried 8 cards on a weekend, so usually just my ID and one bank card. The back pocket is also not that big, my iphone 6 plus cannot fit in there so I just keep it in the middle and maybe some cash in the back pocket. 

If there is anything I would like to add to this, I would like it come with a shoulder strap so I can carry crossbody too, this short hand strap is not always convenient  especially when I need to hold something else in my hand and the bag will just keep dangling and banging on whatever I carry. All in all, I do enjoy this pouch but I guess it's definitely not for all occasions, if I know I will be out for shopping and have a lot of carry or checking stuff by my hands, I will not use it. But if you are just out to have dinner or a movie, it is an easy to carry and use weekend bag.

My Perfume Collection and Review


Perfumes help me start off the day fresh and happy, I like to keep adding new ones into the collection to choose from to match my outfit or mood of the day. 

Below are what I have on my side table, they are Elizabeth Arden's Pretty, Beyonce's Mrs Carter perfume, Taylor Swift Wonderstruck, Guess Seductive, Nicki Minaj Minajesty, and Katy Parry's Meow(pink) and Purr(purple). Out of them, I like the Nicki Minaj one the most. The two Katy Parry perfume is very similar if there is any difference, I would say Purr is slightly sweeter than Meow, but if I don't smell them one after another, I cannot tell the difference. 

The perfumes all last around 4 hours, out of these ones, Katy Perry perfumes are stronger and sweeter so I use them more in the winter while Beyonce and Pretty are quite light and have a lot of mixture of flowers scents, I use them in summer and the rest can be used in all year round. 


These 3 are my favorite perfumes and I keep them separately with the rest. Marc Jacob's Daisy so Fresh, Dolce&Gabbana's Light blue and Burberry's Brit sheer perfume. They are all in 100ml or 125ml bottles. 

Daisy so fresh is such a unique flower scented perfume while Light Blue is very neutral and clean. The Burberry perfume is very mild and I feel everyone can use it. I don't use these perfume on a daily basis so they are my special occasion perfumes. My first Daisy So Fresh perfume was purchased in the US while we were on holiday, so the scent always reminds me the good time we had in America. 

Louis Vuitton Speedy 35 Review and What's in my bag


This is my current bag - LV Speedy 35 which was a birthday gift I got in January from my husband. The retail price for the new speedy 35 is AUD1150. This is the classic one which doesn't come with the long shoulder strap. The bag is so light weight and can hold a lot of stuff. The classic monogram goes well with every outfit. The zipper is very smooth but I don't usually keep my bag zipped up for easy access to my phone. 

I have a small Duffy bear hanging on the front handle of the bag, I like how the colour of the bear compliments the colour combination of this bag. 


There is one small pocket at the back of the bag which would fit keeps, tickets or an Iphone 6. It's small for my phone so I usually only keep a card colder which has my ID and building access card in it. Other than this pocket, there is no other pockets in the bag, so I have everything just randomly lying in there. 


These are what I currently carry with me everyday in the bag to work. I have my phone which is a Iphone 6 plus in champagne colour and in a what bunny phone case. I have my rose gold colour makeup bag I purchased from Mimco. This bag comes in a set of 3 in different sizes and this one is the large on in the set. I usually have some lip balm, lipsticks, false eyelash glue and powder for daily touchup in the makeup bag. Also my house key is in there so the keys won't accidentally scratch the interior of the bag. A pack of tissue in case I spill my coffee etc..a set of earphone as I cannot travel to work without musics. My Wallet which is a Louis Vuitton Insolite Wallet, I have had this wallet for about 5 years the colour did turns a little darker but the shape holds up really well and zipper is just as smooth as new. Above the wallet its a small pouch holds my travel cards and tickets, it is also from Mimco and this is the smallest size in the set of 3. I have a pink rubber coin bag and the book I am currently reading and loving, " Die Trying" by Lee Child and this is the second story of the Jack Reacher Series, and the more I read the more I get addicted to the story.


That's it about the review and the content of the bag. Thanks for reading...

Cushion BB Cream Review: Face Coating Angel Cushion by Secret Kiss


It has been a long time since makeup cushion BB cream came out to the market, I don't know why it has never been appealing to me. Maybe it's the concept of BB cream never really worked for my skin so I wasn't urging to try until few weeks ago and one of my friends asked my opinions about it then I realised I had never tried any, the feeling of missing out on something made me start out a splurge on makeup cushion BB creams and here is the first one came in the mail. 

I know there are so many famous Korean brands have good reputations of making Cushion Foundation / BB cream like Hera and Laneige, I did order them as well and will review once receive them, and this Face Coating Angel cushion isn't the first one people would order usually, but I guess its the lace design attracted me to purchase it. I got this one off Ebay for AUD 23 (1AUD = 0.78 USD atm), it comes in 13g + 8g refill tube which I think it's decent size for the price I paid, plus the packaging is just so freaking cute. 



As most of the Makeup Cushion BB cream, this one also comes in the sturdy box with a considerable big mirror, a sponge on the top of a plastic cap to keep the actual product wet and sealed, which is a neat packaging for bring it around on the road or traveling. 


There is a sticker on the top of the cushion make up and you will need to peel it off before using it the first the time. 

Since this is my first cushion BB cream foundation I don't really have a comparison on the sponge as yet, all I can say is it's dense and soft which helps absorb the products and press into the skin quite well. 





I ordered this one in Dark Angel which is a darker shade out of the 2 shades they have. As you might know, Korean cosmetics emphasize the pale Asian skin tones so their light shade would be really pale for me. Not that I cannot pull that off, but I like my skin to be more natural and slightly tanned to match the rest of my body. So I would say the colour is still a little light for my liking but I guess when we get in winter my natural tan fades away a little, it will be fitting my skin colour bit better. 

 You can see the cushion foundation on my finger. Secret Kiss foundation cushion does not feel greasy. I was skeptical about using makeup cushion bb cream at first. Its not that bad once you dip your finger in and apply the cushion foundation to your skin. 


It blends quite easily into the skin and don't cling onto the dry patches however it is definitely not a matte finish cream and don't have too much of coverage. My skin is combination and never really has dry patches, so I will need to touch up after 4 hours around nose and forehead area, but it is still ok on the rest of my face. If you like the dewey look on your face, I will say go ahead and try this one out but if you are looking for a matte and long lasting one for oil skin, I would not recommend this one.  There is no scent at all, so I am guess this should also work for sensitive skin??? Don't take my words for it, my skin isn't really sensitive, it didn't irritate me but I will still suggest you to test around your jaw line before putting it onto your full face. 


All in all, I will give the Secret Kiss Face Coating Angel Cushion a rating of 3.5 out of a 5 stars, I would like it more if it had some lasting power and a little less dewy finish. My skin has been behaving ok so I don't really need too much of coverage so this one is doing ok for me on covering some minor discolourations and marks.
