Award, package in the mail and what my nails look like right now

Wow, that was a long title, haha. But anyway, I have to pack my posts right now since I want to post about so much stuff and I don't really want to spam people with 1 post each for every thing I want to post about.

First off, I want to thank Toma from The Makeup Mix Shop, because as always, my package arrived quick (for international postage it was quick) and perfect. I ordered several items from her shop and everything arrived in perfect condition, and I really am very happy about it. (Check out her store by clicking the image on my sidebar -------->)

The package:

I mostly ordered brushes because I really wanted to try EcoTools. An item was omitted from the picture because it's going to be part of a present for a friend. :') The above picture is all my brushes after I washed them...lol man am I glad I got the EcoTools brushes.

So again, thanks Toma!

And because I've really really really missed doing my nails, here's how my nails look like right now:

I'm really glad I got the chance to do my nails because lately I couldn't even bother with applying a simple coat of nail polish. It was a good way to relax from all the stress of school. I still wish I had a nail dotting tool, but I settled with one of those wood sticks you use for manicures (one side is pointy and the other is like flat and angled), it worked like a charm.

Lastly, I got this award from Pammy. Thank you sis, that was really sweet of you to give me one, even though I haven't really blogged in a while.

The rules of this award are that you have to pass this award on to 12 blogs that you love to read. I can't pick just twelve, my gosh. I love reading so many blogs. So I'm going to cheat and just give this to everyone! Haha. Don't kill me! >>

Thank you Cheysser!

Wow, I'm so out of it! I haven't posted in a long long long long long time and I really don't even wanna know how long it's been. I kinda feel bad neglecting my blog like this, but sometimes I'm just so busy I don't even have time to think. And I should be doing homework right now (I already wasted 2 days doing nothing!), but when you're not inspired to design, you're not inspired to design. Sigh~

I'd like to thank all my new followers, by the way. Wow, I logged in and poof, I had 175! Shocking.

Moving on, I'd really like to thank Cheysser for what she sent me! If you don't remember, I won her contest (well, 2nd place) a while back. I got her prizes finally. I was so happy that I skipped school that day cause the LBC guy came...lol!

I had to retake the pictures cause I transferred the ones I took the day they came and put them on my laptop. Which broke. LOL.

Of course some of the candies she sent me got eaten already. XD

She sent me a lot of Rimmel goodies and some ELF lippies. I also got candies and a notepad, and a NYX glitter cream palette.

Swatches of the two Rimmel Eye Twist duo liners and shadows. It scares me to use it, the weather here is so hot they got kinda melty! But I guess I just gotta be careful. :) This picture is w/o flash.


With flash.


Swatches of the two single e/s she sent me, and the quad. The green single e/s cracked in shipping! :( But it's okay, I saved it. The quad wasn't very pigmented but it's okay. This image is w/o flash.


With flash!

I was so excited to get this that I totally did an FOTD with it when I went to school later on (I only skipped my first class). :D

Again, thanks so much, Cheysser!! I loved the candies you sent, too. Yummy.

Okay, I have a backlog of stuff to post about now...but this is it for now. Tomorrow is my ELF haul! :) Gosh, I missed this and I feel so behind! How is everyone?

Thank you, package, and Konad

Wow, I can't believe it. I've only been blogging for a month (a little bit more maybe) and already I've met so many friends, learned so many things, got so many sweet encouraging comments and good advice.

So let me just say to all the people whose blogs I read and to all my dear readers,

Anyway, moving on, today I got home to find that Noi's package finally arrived. She was so nice, sending me the sample of UDPP that she got for free along with the stuff that she bought. She also included something else--and I swear it's like she reads minds!

So pretty! I love the card stock that she wrapped the (bubblewrapped) stuff in. And the sticker! 

And the contents:

Citre Shine anti-frizz spray laminator. THANK YOU for this, Noi, my hair has been so frizzy lately and I'm just needing something for my hair. This is perfect, I'll use it with my serum. :)

And of course the UDPP sample, 2.66mL. My first ever Urban Decay anything!

Again, thank you so much, Noia. :) I can't wait until I can send you something (and believe me it will be soon! ^_^).

So on my previous post, I mentioned that I was stuck as school when I really wanted to go to the parlor with my mom and aunt instead. Well turns out I got to go anyway--my aunt and mom were there from 12pm to 8pm (I got there at 6). I got to get a facial done...and my nails done! Can you believe I found a place where they do nail stamping? The moment I saw a Konad polish I was like. O_O!! I gotta get that done. Heheh, so now I have got pretty nails~

See?

Butterflies.

As usual, polish chipped almost immediately. But that's just because I really am just so rough with my hands. I need to find a good long-wearing polish that won't chip so fast on me. 

Gia told me that there are Konad stamping sets available here. My initial reaction was "OMFG REALLY?!?" because she told me that it was pretty affordable for the basic set. I asked her to accompany me to the place...so we'll see how that goes. :)

Also... here's a completely unrelated disgusting story that happened to me today.

I was on the jeep home, and this guy that sat beside me just had the most HORRIBLE B.O. I think he realized that I could hardly breathe (well, I had my hand covering my nose), and I think he either got annoyed or has a weird thing about people smelling his funky B.O. because he kept holding onto the hand railing on the ceiling of the jeep, thus of course making the odor more...strong, I guess? Gosh, I really wanted to tell him to please stop sticking to me and practically rubbing his armpit to my face (I was next to him) but I just bent over and looked somewhere else so that the smell wouldn't be that bad.

Have you had bad experiences like that while taking public transportation? :/
