What I got for xmas 2011 =]

Hey everyone!, anyone going back to school yet? My classes starts next MONDAY(1/9/12) >< not that excited. I'm taking an extra course as a backup just so that I can make sure I have more than enough credits to graduate this term =D. So happpy to finally graduate SOON =O.. Only 4 more months of school =D but I have no idea what I wanna do after that aside from being a freelance makeup artist... mmmmmm?!?!??!


Anyways, on to the pretty stuff I got for xmas.  Just a heads up, I don't exchange presents with every single family member (like brother, brothers in law etc..) and don't exchange presents with every girlfriends (because we do secret santas within different groups of friends so that's much better =D) oh and lastly, because bf and I are trying to save up money for our future and since we don't want anything (materialistic) this year we decided to not spend money on presents and save it up for future needs. We stayed home on xmas day, made diiner and watched a couple of reallly good movies the CLICK, and a chinese movie called Yip Mann (chinese translation of the name). This is a Chinese Kung Fu movie based on a true story. Yip Mann is the Kung Fu Master/teacher of Bruce Lee. It was such a goooood movie!! I loveeeeee it!!...wowww I am so OFF topic.. opps

Ok here we go....

Giveaway Winnings

As promised, I will be updating more often now because my midterms are over and there's no assignments/papers/tests due in the next few weeks =]. If you guys read my last post, then you would know that I won a couple of giveaways and just wanted to share with you all with what I got.

Let me start off with what I won from Raluca a FEW months ago (I know this is longggggggg overdue). I was surprised that I actually won this giveaways because this is my first win ever and at that time, I just started blogging so I didn't know how it all supposed to work. I was meaning to do a blog post of a lip product collection or a lipstick review or lipstick comparing post or something related to lip products... but never got the chance to because I usually use lip balms only to achieve a more natural look but I was so glad I won her mini giveaway because I love this lipstick and it's only sold in Europe (not even available online!) that's why I was very happy to actually have the chance to try it out! Thank you Raluca s2!

This is a triple action lip product from Oriflame that consist of a lip balm, lip gloss and lipstick all in one =]
The consistency is very moisturizing, smooth and pigmented but because it is so smooth it tend to last for a short period only. 

This colour is very pretty and very close to my natural lip colour (reddish, berry, mauve-y colour), it has tiny shimmers and it smells like candy!
Con: sparkles are hard to wash off =S and it's not available to the general public

Then, a few weeks ago I won Jessy's Giveaway and of course I thought it was surreal because she had hundreds of entries and I was lucky enough to be one of the winners!! She was so kind to throw in an extra lip gloss too ^^. Thank you Jessy s2 =]

Everything came safely and nicely packaged =]
