Packages for me! II

I recently received my slightly-over-$160-CP/Haul, and I'm just so happy that I have so many things to play with! And I do mean SO MANY.I'll try and give quickie reviews for each item, here are some pictures!
(Note, I won't review the mascara, sunscreen, mirror, treatment and the other little things in this post)

Flamboyant C-3PO says hi.

I'm really close to 15 Followers, so I thought I'd dedicate this blog entry to you!

I have a few questions and notes and would love feedback, comments, and critique! Don't hold back - let me know exactly what you think!

  1. What exactly would you love to see/read more of in my blog? FOTD, swatches, UK products.. would you like if it I asked for your requests?
  2. I am starting my first contest when I have 20 readers, would you enter if it's for a limited edition Sleek palette? (The latest lmt. edition one, that's all I'm telling!)
  3. Is there anything about my blog that you would change or add? Typing/texting style, details, format/layout etc.
  4. Why are you following this blog, and what/why do you like it? 
Thanks so much! I look forward to all of your answers!

Package of Magic, Love, and Happiness - Fyrinnae

I've been in a hole lately - not a rut, but a hole.

I haven't ordered from Fyrinnae in awhile so I was pretty surprised by the handwritten 'thank you again' message, that put a much needed smile on my face as I had a tiff with the neighbourhood's crazy woman.
The Fyrinnae boys package the items so snug and carefully.

Karlasugar's Contest Prizes!

Sorry I haven't been updating much; had a lot of College work to do. Thought I'd update on my contest prizes that I received;

I won a contest from Karlasugar's MAC Liberty London Giveaway! I chose Ever Hip lipstick and Shell Pearl beauty powder as my prizes!


Here is a dorky picture I took via webcam


Will take swatch photos etc tomorow in the sunlight.

Packages for me!

Look what came in for me today (well, two days ago) ~

Holy stock photo, Batman! Sorry, but I couldn't take a picture of the palette without the flash bouncing back and shadowing some of the words - plus it showed my grubby finger prints.

Courtesy of Kara Genki and her previous contest.

This is probably the best eyeshadow palette I have ever owned. Period (for now at least) I like it better than my Sleek palettes.


Palettes with eyeshadows higher than ten usually have pretty sheer (read as 'rubbish') pigmentation - like my E.L.F. palette - YEAH I'M CALLIN' YOU OUT.

Take a look at the pictures;
Oooh pretty


Please not that some of these are over-lapping.


SWAAAATCHEEEEES :D (Taken by finger dabs, no base)
Swatched in order of the the positions I took the palette's picture.




Pros: 
  • Pigmented
  • Cheap (apparantly $7 from Sasa)
  • Not chalky at all.
  • Very soft and buttery
  • Yay! Lots of colours!
  • Probably handy if you're going to stay over at somebody's for the weekend.

    Cons:
    • Pain-in-the-ass to open the case.
    • Eyeshadows are too soft (crumbly). This palette came to me covered in pink eyeshadow as one of them had slightly broken - kinda my fault though, I had asked to package the palette so it would fit through my letterbox.
    • If you tap the palette, dusty eyeshadow comes off - probably not a great idea to carry around your bag if you're prone to throwing it about.
    • Placing and arrangement of colours infuriated my OCD-complex; I tried to tear off the dividers to arrange them, but I were too weak..
