Everyone in the blogging world seems to indulge in swaps every once in a while. I have also a swap buddy from the USA. :) I consider her to be more than a swap buddy because we do chat about other things other than makeup. E.g: Her dog's name is Bobo, her bf is allergic to nuts, she usually visits her parents on the wekeends, etc.. Jenny's super sweet and fun to talk to.
She told me she wouldn't go over 1kg this time around as shipping is crazy expensive. It's a good thing she sent her package before I did because I had to go and get her more stuff because I absolutely felt guilty when I saw how much she sent me. Hence, I was late in sending her the package and I went over 2kgs LOL! xD
YAY Urban Decay goodies - Urban Decay Eyeshadow Transforming Potion, Ink for the Eyes and Lipstick in Sellout.
She knows I love Kiehl's so she sent me - Kiehl's Midnight Recovery Concentrate, Lip Balm No. 1, Imperial Body Balm, Ultra Facial Cream and Cryste Marine - Lifting and Firming Cream.
Jenny loves Lancome and decided to share the love with me.
Coach perfume roller ball, Lancome single eyeshadow and Radiant Smoothing Eye Shadow Duo in Velvet Corail.
Korres Guava Lip Butter, Physicians Formula Liquid Eyeliner, Physicians Formula Happy Booster Blush in Natural and Rocket City Lip Gloss.
Alpha Hydrox Anti-Wrinkle Cream and Shisheido Aqua Label Moisturizer
More skincare items to try! :)
Real Techniques Brush Set
Caudalie samples and a couple of Sexy Look - Hello Kitty masks. I have used the masks and I loved them so I placed an order for more online. =)
I hope Jenny likes everything I sent her as much as I liked all these wonderful things she sent me. I WUBBB YEWWW JENNY!!! <3 She's always so kind, thoughtful and generous. :3
Jenny is everywhere! LOL! Please follow and watch her if you haven't. :)
This item was on my wish list for a long time but never got around to ordering it. Then a very dear friend sent this item as a valentines + birthday gift along with other goodies YAYY!!! =) Ok, ok... I asked for it. =P But she did send it to me and I wuuubbb her loads! ♥♥♥

Description from Sedona Lace
This baby soft, high quality synthetic brush is waiting for its new home. The synthetic bristles are made not to absorb too much product, to keep the powder on the tips of the bristles and leave powder directly on the surface of your skin for better coverage.
Yes, my matte latte brow nail polish is still matte tonight.
The Kabuki brush isn't small. My hand is big. =)
I fell inlove with this brush because of it's pretty color.
It just didn't seem like any of the kabukis I had.
It is magenta, purple & pink.
Extremely dense.
See how fluffy & thick it seems? The bristles are super soft and don't hurt nor poke me when I use it on my face. I use it to buff or even out my whole makeup look but it can also be used to apply powder foundations, blushes, etc... I haven't used this with any liquid product yet, but if you want to know if it will work just comment below and I'll try it.
The bristles are syntethic, it is recommended that the brush be tapped rather than swiped/swirled on the product and it should pick up the right amount every time. YAY!!! for not being wasteful. :3
The brush is $12.95 on the Sedona Lace website. I would say it's really cheap for the quality it has to offer. I have other Kabuki brushes which are more expensive but doesn't deliver as well as this one does.
Jenny did a comprehensive review of the kabuki brushes here. :3
(I think Jenny's the reason why I kept wanting the SL kabuki midnight lace. :/ When she
fanned out the brush I was like... "Whoaaa!!! I have to get one of those." >o<"
Good thing I finally got it!! Hahaha! )
Jenny has a promo code LOL! xD You can use it to get $4.00 off your purchase from Sedona Lace. =)
My Sigma high definition synthetic kabuki brushes are my all time favorite brushes. =)
I can say that the quality of the Sedona Lace kabuki is just as great!
Also, if I compare these brushes I can say that the Sedona Lace is cheaper and it doesn't bleed nor shed. The Sigma brushes don't shed nor bleed either. But the Sedona Lace kabuki dries faster than these babies. Therefore, I am adding the Sedona Lace kabuki to my all time favorite brush list. xD
Have you tried any Sedona Lace product? You should follow them on Twitter & Facebook. They hosts giveaways from time to time. =) All their giveaways are international and they have awesome customer service.
Hi everyone! I know that many girls are excited for today. :3 If you aren't you can scroll down and read the last part of this post. ;)
1st, I would like to take this opportunity to greet everyone a Happy Valentines Day! I really don't take much participation in celebrating this day. :/ It just doesn't appeal to me... However, I give a present to my mom on a yearly basis. This year I got her flowers. And, I'd like to share the pictures of the bouquet with you because I think it's just so cute & pretty.
Before I proceed with the photos, I want to share a video of Jenny. :3 Jenny's a friend from the USA. She does video tutorials on Youtube and is really one of the sweetest and kindest persons I have met over the internet. (Ok, I had to stop myself from praising her and edited this part since I do love her.)
In this tutorial she does a very pretty and sweet look. It's not overpowering and is perfect for first dates and well... just being really pretty. So here's the tutorial ---
If you're going on a date, I highly suggest that you do a similar makeup look because guys don't really like tons of makeup on their dates. . I also think this look really brings out the beauty of the person who has it on. ♥ Don't forget to subscribe to Jenny's channel ok? She replies to everyone hahaha! You can ask her to do tutorials for you too.
Because I do not want to incur the wrath of my mother - I got here a present.
Yes, we give her presents on Valentines, her birthday, Christmas, Mother's day and whenever. This means she gets a bouquet from me, my 2 brothers, my 2 sisters and my dad.
Yes, she is quite spoiled but I wouldn't trade my mum for anyone out there. :3 LOL!
Taken under artificial lighting with flash.
Yes, it has 2 bears and no one should point that out anymore ok?
No, it wasn't cheap. Anything that has flowers on it on February 14 is expensive. But giving gifts is supposed to make the receiver happy right? So I had this customized so that it will seem cute to me. Hopefully my mom will like it.
I think my mummy is fluffy like this bear so I picked it up for her.
Oh yeah, this other bear says, "I WUBBB YEEWWWWWW!!!!" when squeezed. I have been squeezing it just to annoy my sisters hahahahaha! xD
Still single this valentines day??
Looking for Spider Pig while wondering who cleans the window here? Hmmm... :/
"Hi again everyone. Please don't take this seriously as this is meant to be funny and not directed to any specific person."
- You aren't the first and the only person who has not received anything ok?
- Please, please, please DO NOT send flowers and gifts to yourself so that you can tell your friends that you have a secret admirer because the chances of them knowing that you don't is really high and you will only end up looking pathetic.
- If you do get many gifts, please don't haul them around everywhere you go lest you end up looking like a walking Christmas tree that's no longer in season.
So what if you're single on this day...?
You've been single for a longer time haven't you? So why does a single day have to be a big deal to you now? O.O
Being single means you can make options without having to consider your significant other's emotions/feelings/likes/dislikes/moods/etc... It gives you freedom to move and act as you please. Hence I joined this page on Facebook -
Eat sweet stuff. They not only look cute & pretty but will make you really happy. :3
I do know that Valentines is associated with the "L-O-V-E" word, hence I do not limit that word to a significant other but to all people and things I love.
Look around - there's so much to be thankful for.
I will never understand why people are so insatiable and why they seek and keep wanting those that they cannot have? Happiness is something we all owe to ourselves, hence rather than keep on seeking for it we should just make the most of what we have and well, just be happy! :3
Remember to just love yourself, so just incase no one else does, you will still always have at least one person who loves you, even if it's just you. :P Oh.... That sounded quite harsh and a bit too sarcastic so I'm going to make up an excuse and just say - that it's better to love yourself so that when the right person comes along you will know how to introduce yourself better and you will be whole & doing well because you didn't rush into things like other people do.
