SheIn Spring/Summer Haul Try-On Review
June 08, 2022I don't remember when's the last time I splurged and treated myself some new clothes. I might have gotten too comfortable in my loungewear and PJs during the pandemic that I almost forgot that I love dressing up and styling outfits. I needed some retail therapy. So I went on SheIn and started browsing. I've been a long time fan of SheIn for their affordable pricing and their fit requires no alternations on me. My order was shipped out quickly and took a little longer than 2 weeks to arrive at my doorstep. I love all the items I got so I wanted to share my thoughts from the first try-on here!
White Snakeskin Flat Mules
I had my eyes on a pair of white slip-on mules for so long. I already owned a brown pair from Sam Edelman and they are my go-to on lazy days so I want another white pair to match my outfits. I didn’t want to pay too much for something that I don’t get to wear everyday. So these SheIn pair caught my eyes. I usually wear size 7 or 38. But after reading the reviews on the site, I sized up. They are half a size more loose than my liking. And when I compare them with my Sam Edelman (which is a size 7), the SheIn pair is actually shorter but the width is wider. The shoes are well made and good quality, almost as good as my Sam Edelman mules. The material on the other hand is synthetic and not real leather so it does feel harder and I can imagine it’d crease overtime. The insole is padded so it’s very comfortable to walk in them.Brown Knee-High Boots
Although these aren’t meant for Spring but they were on sale for $25! So I snagged them before my size were sold out. I’ve always wanted a pair of brown knee-highs to go with some earthy tones outfit. These are perfect and fit true to size. I bought my normal size 7 and they were comfortable. The heels are a good height to walk in. They make my legs look like a mile long as well. I especially like the straps at the back so I can tie to secure the boots from sliding down while walking.Dalmatian Print Split Thigh Skirt
I’m a sucker for animal prints and I cannot not include this in my collection. I’m 5’4 and the skirt is down to my mid-calves even though the waistline sits high. The skirt is A-line and the side slit just opens mid way of my thigh. It’s roomy and flowy. The skirt is not lined but also not see-through. I do find that the skirt does shift position and rotates at my waist from time to time but for the price, it’s worth it.Floral Print Tie Back Cut-out Dress
I’m in love with this dress. The dress requires some steaming prior to first wear as it is made from cotton. I love the big puff sleeves that add more drama to the look. The open tie back is sexy with straps that wrap around the waist at the front. I got the size XS (I’m usually a size small) and feel that the dress is very forgiving. I can’t wait to wear this dress at a wedding with a pair of strapped heels.Floral Tie Front Cutout Ruffle Hem Dress
This is another dress that I fell in love at first sight. I wasn’t sure if I could pull this off after having a baby but for $19 I couldn’t give myself a good reason to pass on this dress. The print is super cute and the material is stretchy. I sized up for this dress as I was worried that it’d be tight and short on me. And it fits just right with a size medium (I’m usually size small and have bigger hips), not tight at all and at a good length. The tie front is not as exposed as I thought and is easily adjustable with a looser or tighter tie knot. I like to wear with the puff sleeves but also love that the sleeves can be pulled down to become an off-shoulders dress. My husband loves this dress on me. So, bonus points there.Lace Trim Satin Cami Top & Shorts PJ set
Not gonna lie, but I love satin and silky materials for my PJs. This set looks cute and sexy. The shorts are on the shorter side for me and barely covered my bum. I do find the materials to be thin and simply hemmed. But for $8, you do get what you paid for.Plain Baseball Cap
I just needed a basic white baseball cap to go with my casual fit. And this does the job. It’s a rougher cotton material and holds the shape well. It has a velcro strap at the back and I couldn’t ask for more for $4.Striped V-Neck Curved Hem T-shirt Dress
As a mom, sometimes I just want to put on something and get out of the door fast. This t-shirt dress is great for that effortless casual look. I got a size M as I wanted it to be more loose. The cut is straight with a slight stretch. I was actually expecting this to be a jersey cotton material but instead it was made from polyester. It is still very lightweight and comfortable for summertime without being see-through. This will go really cute with my plain baseball cap and white sneakers.SheGlam Straight Velvet Lipstick - Beach Babe
I'm a sucker for lipsticks and this little velvet lipstick caught my eyes. I compared this with my Charlotte Tribury pillow talk lipstick to give you a comparison and thought the colours are pretty similar. It feels velvety without being too dry on my lips. It is a matte lipstick and it is a pigmented rosy colour that is slightly darker than my Pillow Talk on me. The packaging is nice and looks like it's from a luxury brand.SheGlam Straight Velvet Lipstick in Beach Babe (right) with Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk (left)
Spring is all about lightweight and natural make up. I bought this creamy eyeliner in brown when it was on a buy one get one sale. Despite the great deal price, the eyeliner is very creamy and super easy to apply. The colour brown is pigmented but still look very natural. Comparing it with my liquid eyeliner, this creamy eyeliner gives a softer look and do not smudge after a full day wear.
SHEGLAM Butter Up Eyeshadow Stick-FROST BOSS
Besides the brown eyeliner, I also got myself this butter up eyeshadow in frost boss colour to highlight my eyes. The colour is light and shimmery. Easy to blend and glides smoothly on my skin. I like to apply it to the corner of my eyes and outline my under eye to make them look bigger.
Basic Solid Tank Top
Basic tanks are definitely worth an investment. These solid tank tops are comfortable and cropped at a flattering length. The neckline is especially cute and accentuate my collarbones even more. I bought both black and white tops.
Rib-Knit Crop Tank Top
This tank top is similar to the basic solid tank top above except it is more fitted and less forgiving.
2 Pack Lace-up front self adhesive bra set
These adhesive bra set is a must for those backless dresses in Spring and Summer! I love these set as it comes with both black and nude colours. The adhesive is strong but does not irritate my skin. The wing design not only looks cute but it also helps grab your side boobs. The tie front allows you to create cleavage and give out that extra oomph.
I absolutely love my purchase! They are all packaged nicely in its own zip-loc reusable plastic pouch. The shoes are also packaged with foam to keep its form during transit. You can find all the links in the headlines of this post. Let me know which item is your favourite!
