Accessories Mini Haul

Click Image to Enlarge

Today I paid my 1st visit to a Charming Charlie store & all I can say is WOW! Neat accessories & everything arranged by color, plus the layout & design of the store is just classy.

It's halfway through the month, so all I could afford is a ring for now. I definitely want to go back when I have more dough.

Earlier this month I bought a couple items from Claire's online store. I got a ring & a bag. The bag was a bit bigger than expected, but that's ok because I've already found a good use for it. :) As you can see from my purple finger in the image, the Claire's ring is a wee bit too tight, lol.

So, the Claire's ring is a bit of a disappointment. It's not as pretty in person & it's kinda tight. I love the bag though & I love the ring I got from Charming Charlie.

So, what do you guys think? Have you shopped at both stores & how would you compare them? My impression is that Charming Charlie is a bit more grown-up & very classy. I still like Claire's though. Let me know your thoughts in the comments! :)

Claire's Makeup Kits

Claire's has released some makeup palettes to create 3 different looks: PopRockz, Sunkissed, & ReVamped.

I've tried some of their eye palettes before & liked them, the pigmentation was pretty good. So, I'm pretty curious about these.

Have any of you, my readers, caught a glimpse of these or even bought one (or all)? If so, what were you're impressions of the product? Tell me in the comments!
