First Swap, with Taygan! =D

Super excited that Taygan from My BlOgSpOt *Montser Girl* agreed on doing a swap with me! She's one of my closest friends here on Blogger, we tweet each other almost every single day and it's usually endless chit-chatting. LOVE. She is so nice and don't to Earth, I suggest you all check her out and follower her blog for me, k? Please and thankkkkkkkkkkk you! =D

I was soo excited when I got my package, she even paid extra for express shipping which I thought she was super nice because she really didn't have to spend extra money on me. I so excited to receive my package 2 days after she shipped it out! We had a tiny spending budget of $20 but when you see what she got me, you know she OVERSPENT on me again!! I felt sooo bad that I didn't send her more!! But, I was happy when I unwrapped it to find everything I wanted! (I can finally cross out some of the items on the Wish List =P). Thank you Taygan!! =D

Here we go with the GOODIES =D

Nicely wrapped by the wonderful Taygan!

I loveeee blushes, this is a frosty light pink =D

Rimmel Lasting Finish Blush in 018 Pink Sorbet
I wanted this ever since I saw it on "amarixe" from YouTube. I am soo glad Taygan got this for me, I can finally cross it out from my Wish List =D

L'Oreal Voluminous Million Lashes in 630 Blackest Black with s BONUS eyeliner =]
I wanted to buy this combo when I saw it at Walmart but good thing I didn't because they jacked up the price here in Toronto compared to what Taygan told me the price she paid for it. So glad you got me this T! another item off my list ^^.

Burt's Bees Lip Shimmer in Watermelon and Hard Candy Tinted Lip Balm in Bridal Blush
So far loving both of these!
Burt's Bee has amazing pigments!, Hard candy is quite moisturizing =D

Here are some sample swatches for the above items =]
Lighting is washing out a lot of the colours though =[

Cheeky Monkey Document in CM-P-108
This is one of the reason why Taygan and I did this swap. She got this nail polish in one of her Luxe Box and I got a metallic black in mine but I prefer lighter colour while she liked darker ones so I suggested that we should do a swap instead of just sending one nail polish =]. So glad to receive this pearly white, I can do french tips with this =D. Thank you again T! =D

YESto Cucumbers Facial Towelettes
Love this compacted makeup wipes that I can put in my tiny makeup train case! =D

Yummmy!!!! One of my favourite sour candy! Taygan got me a big bag too =D
This will last me for a while =]

Overview of all the things she got me^^.

Thank you again Taygan! I am very grateful and happy to have meet you on Blogger and I sure had tons of fun opening this swap (as you probably know from all the tweets I sent you while I was unwrapping everything =P).

Hope you all enjoy reading this, I always wanted to do swaps because I was A LOT of YouTube and I see swaps everywhere. Never thought I could have an opportunity to do one myself so I'm glad Taygan agreed on doing one with me =D

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 =]
