Born Pretty Store Review + Coupon Code

Today I'm reviewing some products from Born Pretty! I have done a previous review for this store on my Youtube, and they contacted me again to see if I'd like to do another one. I was allowed to choose 3 items under $15 for review, so here we go!

 Everything arrived in this bubble envelope, which is fine for shipping, but the items themselves were not wrapped or protected with anything else inside the envelope, which is okay for the eyelashes and cat phone case because it's hard plastic, but the unicorn case is a thinner plastic so I was worried it could have broken in the mail. Everything arrived in perfect condition however! I don't know how long this took to ship to me, since I wasn't told when the package was sent, but usually packages from Hong Kong can take 2-3 weeks or even up to a month.
So this is everything I chose! Here are the links:
Cat Phone Case
Eyelashes
Unicorn Phone Case

Full review under the cut!



 First I'll talk about the unicorn case. Though the plastic isn't too thick, it's still a sturdy case, and looks very cute! I don't know who the artist is for the design, but it's very cute and pastel coloured.
 The inside of the case is plain black.
 You can't tell, but the brown lines of the design are raised slightly, so you can feel them! It's a good quality case for the price.
 It fits my phone perfectly, and doesn't move around at all. Bonus, it's very easy to remove! Owners of hard plastic iphone cases will agree that most cases are so hard to remove, but this one was really simple!
 So cute!

 Next thing I'll talk about is this cute cat case. I was going to pick the pink one but it was sold out, so I went with the minty green/blue one, and it's really pretty!
 I don't really like how there's the website printed on the front of the case (since there's a sticker on the inside anyway) but I've also found that the paint chips off pretty easy, so you'll have to be careful with the cat's eyes. (but you could scratch off the website!)
 This is what the inside looks like. The coloured part of the case on the front is made of hard plastic, and the inside is made from a softer plastic. There's indents on the case so you can press buttons (although you can't reach the silent/ringer switch on the side)
 The case fits my phone well, it doesn't move about at all and feels very protected. It is however, hard to put the case on and even harder to remove.
 You can access the headphone port at the top easily.
 And the charger port at the bottom as well.
 The biggest downside of this case is I can't seem to press the power button at all! The volume buttons are easy to press through the case, but I can't press the power button to lock my phone at all. This is really upsetting since the case is so adorable, but it'll annoy the hell out of me to use if I can't lock my phone.

 Lastly, I'll talk about these false eyelashes! I usually use cheap ebay ones, and they are perfect for me! However, I was running out, so I thought I'd try these ones out.
 You get lots of pairs in the box, and they're really thick and nice, which is good as my eyelashes are pretty thin in places.
 Sadly one of the lashes came looking a bit squished, but I'm sure I can fix it by curling it or it'll look fine when I wear it.
 The lashes are light and soft, and look pretty nice. I can't wait to try these out soon, I'm sure they'll look pretty!
Overall I would rate the unicorn case 5/5, the cat case 2/5 (such a shame!) and the eyelashes 4/5!
I hope you enjoyed my review! You can see my last Born Pretty review on Youtube here
You can also use my coupon code FACW10 to get 10% off anything in the store!
Make sure you check them out because they have a lot of items and they're all pretty cheap! They have a great range of nail art supplies as well, which I'm eyeing up hehe~
I'll be uploading a video review for these items soon so look out for it!
