♡ Milk Chocolate Dream Review ♡


So once again I'm back with another review, been a pretty busy month huh? 
Milk Chocolate Dream is an 'kawaii' Etsy store run by the lovely Sarah Frain. The store offers things like adorable resin pieces, cute clay pieces & even custom phone/ iPod cases - all hand made of course! After first hearing about this store & having a look for myself, I instantly fell in love & decided to ask Sarah if it would be possible to be sponsored by her! Of course, as you can see, she said yes - I couldn't of been more happy! So after a week or so Sarah messaged me saying my pieces were done, it took a bit longer than a week because she had ran out of resin & hate to wait for it to arrive! Luckily she explained that to me & so was patient! She then  messaged me that she had shipped it off & the day after I received it! 



♡ So this is what the package looked like, I like how she made it colorful & as cute! ( of course I had to blur my address out, haha ) ♡




♡ She also wrote her store name on the package to know where it was from ( usually companies don't & I'm just sat there wondering what it is & if it's meant for me, haha ), & if that wasn't clear enough then she included a really cute sticker on it, with the most prettiest art work on it! I really want to peel it off & keep it! ♡


 

♡ She also stuck it down with the cutest Rilakkuma deco tape, ahhh. Also, I haven't taken a picture of it, but something I really liked which she did was right a return address on it in case the parcel gets lost, I've never known any companies do this but I really liked the fact, it made me feel like the parcel would be safe, aha! ♡




♡ So this is what I saw when I opened the package, so much cuteness - of course everything was wrapped up properly though, aha! ♡




♡ So the first thing I noticed in my package was all the business cards she sent me,  they're all so cute! It's good she included a lot as if one got lost you would still have three, aha! ♡




♡ I was also lucky enough to receive one of her new business cards, which, like the sticker, has that really pretty design on the front & on the back it has her links ♡

♡ Sarah also included this little note for me, saying ' thankyou' ( no problem by the way! I should be the one saying thankyou! ) This too is Rilakkuma, I see a sort of theme occurring here, aha!  I think this is nice as it adds a personal touch! ♡






♡ All of my items came in this really cute plastic clear back, which was also sealed with Rilakkuma deco tape! ♡ 





♡ So the first item I got was wrapped really well in this bubble tape, which was sealed with the adorable Rilakkuma tape, aha, extra points for cute packaging! ♡ 

So what was it...?




♡ This really cute resin ring, similar rings like this retail for only $2.40! You can get a similar one here! It is so cute, the resin is so neat, it has sparkles & I don't know if you can see it on here but there is darker parts on the bow to make the bow look more 3D and just in general nicer! The resin is really smooth as well & I can honestly see no flaws! ♡




♡ So the back of the ring as you can see is just as neat as the front, it too is ridiculously smooth! It also has an adjustable ring, so you don't have to worry about sizing! The ring is also attached really well, it's really sturdy - although in this recent hot weather I accidentally left it out in the sun & the ring sort of came off, but I easily fixed it - but that isn't a fault in the ring itself, it's just me being stupid, but it's just a warning to those out there! Also on the back of the resin, I can sort of see dust which has attached to the resin, I don't really get how this happened, but I mean it's not a big problem as it's the back of the ring, but I felt it's something I should point out! ♡







♡ So the next product I got was this, I remember seeing these on her instagram & I just fell in love, so when I found one in my package I couldn't of been more happy! As you can see at the top it came in a little re-seal-able plastic bag! The only problem I had with this was that the resin on the face stuck to the plastic & still is a tad sticky now! But apart from that the detail is just so cute, I love the little shiny filings in the resin, I think it makes a nice touch, the front is also really smooth, despite it being that little bit sticky! It's also a nice size as well I feel - not too small, but not too big! ♡







♡ As you can see from the photos the resin piece is nice & thick, not to mention even as well! The back is also really smooth & neat & the alligator/ crocodile clip ( is that what you call it? ) is attached really well, so I have no worries in that falling off ( unless I left it in the sun  lol ) ♡






♡ So this is the final piece I got. I actually couldn't believe I was sent it, because I loved it so much! I first saw this on her instagram & said I loved it, but I never expected her to send it to me, I'm ever so grateful & can honestly say this is my most favorite jewelry piece so far. Not only that but I can't fault it. It can in a little plastic bag so it was protected & wasn't damaged on the way! As you can see the base is a heart & has bumpy edges - sort of reminds me of a cupcake - it's so neat, same with the front of it, it's smooth, soft & has no flaws, I can't even see any obvious air bubbles either! I love the detail on it as well, I love all the sequins & filings inside the resin & of course the alpacas & bead, ahhh, ♡




♡ The chain to the pendant is a ball chain, which is attached on sturdy, but I also like the fact that there is the choice to change the chain, incase you would want it longer or shorter ( although personally I feel like it's the perfect length ) & just like the front the resin is smooth & neat! Resin pieces like this are usually only $7.99! ♡

So overall rating:

Communication:  5/ 5

Of course Sarah would receive full marks! Despite her running the store on her own she replied really quickly, when I first messaged her she didn't take any longer than 30 minutes to reply! She also was very pleasant & answered my questions!


Postage:  5/ 5

Once again I can't fault this, it took less than a day to arrive at my house, not only that but she packaged it really well so nothing arrived damaged & she made the package cuter! The cutest packaging I've come across!



Product: ♡ 4.5/ 5

The only reason I deducted 0.5 point was because of the front of the Cat hair piece being sticky, but other than that the rest of it is perfect! These items are so perfect for a lot of Japanese fashion styles as her pieces are so versatile,  the prices are also so good as well, like when I first saw them I though my laptop was playing up, aha! 



So I just want to thankyou Sarah for letting me do this review, it was such a pleasure to do & I absolute love everything! ( I'm going to update this post later with photos of me wearing the items! ) Also to those reading this, please check out her store here, there is so much variety! I'm actually planning on getting more from here, her resin pieces are to die for! Honestly, you wouldn't regret buying from her!
