Watch Roll - Review

Image
    Convoy Watch Roll - Review:   Link - $75.00   I bought two of these watch rolls for a recent vacation I went on with my parents. I have never found a decent way to store my watches until now. The case is leather and has space for four watches. My wrist is pretty small, so I put two watches together and it worked fine. I cut up a microfiber towel and wrapped each watch separately, so one did not scratch the other. I realize that this is for men's watches, but I could not find another viable alternative. The dimensions are 12.12 x 9.84 inches and it does fold up. I would highly recommend this product to anyone with nicer watches that travels a lot. The price was decent at seventy five dollars and there was free shipping.

Travel Jewelry Case - Review

Image
            Caroline Travel Jewelry Case - Review:   Link   - $79.00     I recently bought this travel jewelry case for a recent vacation that I went on. I bought it from Nordstrom, and I paid $79 dollars. There are three colors to choose from, but I purchased the black one. This case is well made and offers plenty of room inside the case to travel with. The interior is a suede-like material and the zippers worked perfectly well. There is a small mirror located inside and room for seven rings. There are three hooks for necklaces. I have no complaints on this jewelry case, and I would highly recommend it. If you travel with a lot of jewelry, then please buy a bigger case. The measurements are 4 1/2 x 4 1/2 x 2 inches.    

Review- Fenty Beauty: Rihanna Galaxy Eyeshadow Palette

Image
Rihanna Galaxy Eyeshadow Palette by Fenty Beauty: Price: $59.00 Website: https://www.sephora.com/product/galaxy-eyeshadow-palette-P79846487 I bought this eyeshadow palette on impulse because the colors looked so beautiful. I recently went on a cruise, and I brought this palette with me to try. Luckily, I brought another palette with me that wasn't so difficult to work with. This palette is definitely not for beginners because there is TONS of fall-out and some of the eyeshadows looked muddy after working with them. Yes, the colors are amazing looking, but I would not recommend this product unless you are a makeup veteran. I have experimented with makeup for years and it was hard for me to make this work. Don't bother using eyeshadow primers because I tried three of them. (Urban Decay, Smashbox 24 hour and Kat Von D.) I would most definitely recommend a glitter glue, for example Too Faced Glitter Glue, but even with that product this palette was still patchy a...

Review - Aqua Vault Portable Outdoor Safe

Image
We recently went on  a cruise to Alaska, and my parents bought two of these from Amazon.com. They cost 39.95 each. My dad doesn't normally spend a lot of time at the pool, so my mom and I mainly used these. As you can see in the picture, they hook onto the back of a beach/pool chair and keep your valuables safe. They are meant to store your keys, money, cell phones and other important things. There is a combination lock which protects everything inside. They are extremely roomy and can hold a lot of items, but they are very bulky and take up a lot of room inside your suitcase. (if you are traveling with them). My dad tested these before we left on our vacation, and even though it says they are waterproof, they are not fully waterproof. Some water can get into the holes around where this product is attached to the chair. They do have three holes at the bottom which prevents this product from filling up with water though. I would not recommend getting these wet.   ...

Review of Cruise - NCL Sun

Image
    NCL Sun - Mini Suite - Alaska:     Room - 4/5   We stayed in a mini suite which was very nice. Even though it was a mini suite, it is still small, but workable. The balcony was really nice and I stayed out there a lot. It also had a big bathtub which was amazing, since I like to take baths. You also get a concierge with the mini suite or suites, and I know he was very valuable to my parents. The room could have been a little cleaner, but otherwise everything else was okay.   Service - 4/5   Most of the staff were extremely friendly and welcoming to us. There were two exceptions to that. I don't know if they were having a bad day, but they were very rude to my parents for no reason. The waiters were absolutely wonderful though.   Food- 4/5   Most of the food I ate was very good, but by far the best food I ate was in the different ports. The food menus were a little lacking, and there were only a few entrees...

Toiletry Bags Review

MAC - Clearly Mac Trio: I bought these for a cruise I just went on to Alaska. They were handy for storing things shampoo and conditioner. I wanted these in case anything spilled it wouldn't get all over my clothes. The three clear cases come from Mac and cost $42.00. There is a large, small and medium sized bag. I ordered these online and they were smaller than I thought they were going to be, but I made it work. I put my nail polish and nail tools (file, nail clippers, etc) in the smallest one. I put toothbrush/toothpaste, floss, hair ties, and other small things in the medium sized pouch. I put all of my hair care products in the biggest one (shampoo, conditioner, hair mask, etc). I would recommend these, but they are kind of expensive for what you get. You can probably find these cheaper somewhere else, but I needed to order some other items from Mac, so I bought these also. Dimensions- Large - 11 x 7 x 2.25 inches Medium - 8.5 x 4.5 x 2 inches Small  7 x 3.5 x ...

Packing Cubes and Laundry Bag Review

Image
Hello. We are on a cruise right now and I wanted to do a review of our laundry bags and packing cubes. My mom bought two of the laundry bags for this cruise, and my parents and I use two of each. The packing cubes we have had since our last cruise, but my mom bought me some new packing cubes from Eddie Bauer. Laundry Bags: Laundry Bags Where: Henry Bendle Price: $58.00 Website: http://www.henribendel.com/us/henri-bendel-laundry-set-278222.html? Review: These bags felt sturdy and looked so cute. My mom was very pleased with not only the price, but also the look of them. She said that they were effective for what we needed, but she wished that two of the bags were bigger. That was the only downfall for her. There are three bags total, and the bags are named Shoes, Laundry and  Lingerie, but we just used for them for laundry. The measurements for the laundry bag is 24 x 17 inches. The shoe bag and lingerie bags both measure 16.25 x 12.25 inche...
