I ordered the below items on 10/23/2023 to my address in North Carolina (United States). I paid a total of $213.43 to Natural Life Collections, Inc. (support@naturallife.com) via PayPal. The charge appears on my credit card statement as “PAYPAL *NATURALLIFE”. – View Order Confirmation
1) 2-in-1 Cozy Poncho
- Color, Size, and Cost: Purple Mandala / One Size / $42
- Country: Made in China
- Material: 100% Polyester
Expectation: It is exactly what I was expecting in terms of overall appearance.
Quality: In my opinion, the quality is decent. See my Quality Comparison & Rating Chart to know my current quality-rating standards.
Fit: I ordered based on the size guide provided, and it fits well. View my Body Measurements for size reference.
Keep or Return: I would keep this Natural Life poncho.
The fabric is super soft and fuzzy, it feels very comfortable, it is versatile and can be worn with just about anything, and the colors are vibrant! It feels like wearing a warm, and thin blanket!
2) Patti Palazzo Pants
- Color, Size, and Cost: Tan Cream Floral / M / $59
- Country: Made in China
- Material: Different materials are listed in two places:
- Product page- 65% Cotton / 35% Rayon
- Care label- 49% Cotton / 51% Rayon
Expectation: It isn’t what I was expected in terms of overall appearance. The product image has softer, warmer, and more dulled colors. The ones I received are more harsh, and dark-looking color-wise. Also, each layer in the leg looks more puffed and pronounced on the model than on me.
Quality: In my opinion, the quality is mediocre. See my Quality Comparison & Rating Chart to know my current quality-rating standards.
Fit: I ordered based on the size guide provided, and they fit well (I could size up for a looser, and comfier fit). View my Body Measurements for size reference.
Keep or Return: I would return these Natural Life pants.
While I do like the style and fit of these non-stretch pants, they are paper thin, the material feels cheap, and the color is not what I expected. I also see some loose threads in various places. I cannot believe they are charging $60 for these!
3) Reagan Thermal Henley
- Color, Size, and Cost: Slate Floral Blooms / M / $39
- Country: Made in China
- Material: 65% Polyester / 33% Rayon / 2% Spandex
Expectation: It is exactly what I was expecting in terms of overall appearance.
Quality: In my opinion, the quality is decent. See my Quality Comparison & Rating Chart to know my current quality-rating standards.
Fit: I ordered based on the size guide provided, and it fits, but I would prefer a size down for a snugger fit. View my Body Measurements for size reference.
Keep or Return: I would return this Natural Life henley shirt.
I love the soft and stretchy material, the way the seams are sealed (stylistic preference), and the pattern and color combination. However, I would prefer a tighter fit, the shirt is a bit crooked (the back seam and the hem aren’t straight/symmetrical), and it’s a little expensive.
4) Stella Velvet Dress
- Color, Size, and Cost: Dark Floral Garden / M / $59
- Country: Made in China
- Material: Different materials are listed in two places:
- Product page- 96% Polyester / 4% Spandex
- Care label- 93% Polyester / 7% Spandex
Expectation: It is exactly what I was expecting in terms of overall appearance.
Quality: In my opinion, the quality is decent. See my Quality Comparison & Rating Chart to know my current quality-rating standards.
Fit: I ordered based on the size guide provided, and it fits a size too big. View my Body Measurements for size reference.
Keep or Return: I would return this Natural Life dress.
The material feels stretchy, heavy, and velvety, the inside feels very smooth and non-scratchy, and I absolutely LOVE the slightly shimmery/metallic look to it! I also really appreciate that the back is longer than the front. I do see some unfinished seams and areas that need cutting, and I think it could be a bit cheaper, but regardless, I would keep this if it were a size smaller.

Do I Recommend This Shop?
Based on my experience, they are a legitimate shop. I paid for my items, received them within the estimated time frame, successfully completed a return, and received a full refund.
With that being said, I would shop here again!
To start with the negatives, these items are generally a bit pricey for the quality. If my items are part of one of the charity collections, I wouldn’t mind. However, none of my items are. The Palazzo pants, in particular, are 100% a rip-off. Also, two of the items are a bit misleading in terms of the material composition. They are different by a few percentage points, so not atrociously misleading, but they are discrepancies nonetheless.
As for the positives, excluding the pants, I am generally happy with the quality! I LOVE the Bohemian style and patterning, I appreciate the collections they have dedicated to specific charities, and I am pleased that the return process is easy and the return cost is fairly low. It is also worth mentioning that the order shipped EXTREMELY fast. Overall, I am happy with my purchase, and would buy from them again. However, I would not repurchase the pants or any items that are of a similar material composition.
