Mail Day!

Another round of packages came today.

Toma of Makeup Masala sent me my prize for being one of the winners of her recent contest:

I won an AVON Glazewear liquid lipcolor in Teddy Bear.  She kindly included other freebies with the package.

                      

Avon glazewear in Teddy Bear

Here's what it looks like on me -------->

The gloss is only very slightly sticky and smells good (like chocolate?) and doesn't leave my lips dry.  It's opaque, a liquid lipstick and can stand on it's own. 

It lasts longer than most glosses which stay on for an hour or so.  It's probably due to the slight stickiness that makes it stay on the lips longer.  It really is a very pretty color, pinky-brown. 

From Vely (Thank you!), sample of Pure Anada in Golden Harvest and other samples she included:

From Candace of Pure Anada.  She sent me samples of 2 of the new shades she formulated for Asian skin tones in Medium Gold and Deep Gold.  I still have to test tomorrow which one is my shade.

From Lure Beauty:

This was from a panic buying moment, my order on the left photo and the freebies on the right photo.

Joyce's Lumiere order also came in today.  I also received an SMS from a friend that my MAC order came and she'll send it to me this week.  I got the New View MSF in Medium-Dark and a MSF in Pleasantry.  The Lustre Twins lippie I ordered was out of stock :-(

My Dreamworld isn't here yet but I haven't received a shipping notice so it probably hasn't shipped out yet.  My Jessie's Girl order isn't here either and that shipped way ahead of all those I got today.  I think they send it out in a box so that's probably the cause of delay (hopefully).  Another one I'm waiting for is my small sample order from Aromaleigh.  

Will do reviews of some other stuff and post them up soon.  Hope you all have Happy Mail Days too.

It's Summer

Summer has begun! It's sooo hot nowadays that the electric bill is surely gonna go up since the a/c would be turned on most nights.
It was my mom's birthday last Sunday and we went to the Country Club for lunch with close family friends. Good thing we got there at 12 noon just in time for the start of the Pacquiao-Marquez fight. They had Pay Per View at the Club and all the golfers (locals and foreigners alike) were watching including all the servers and chefs, ha ha. (Pacquiao won!)

Face:


Bare Naturals Primer
Dreamworld Luna foundation in Themis/Hebe mix
Aromaleigh Pure cover #5 concealer

Lips:

Eyes:
None! -- letting my eye area heal

I had my scheduled monthly glycolic peel from the derm last Friday and she removed a few milia around my eyes and lids --- the cause is OVER moisturizing! I think I need to use only either emu oil or my regular moisturizer and not both. Plus the eye cream I put on at night which I will now omit. The emu oil itself would suffice. Now, I have a lot of half-finished jars and unused jars of face creams/eye creams :-(

Unfortunately, I used up the last drop of my emu oil sample from Lure last night and my 4 oz. bottle hasn't arrived yet. ^%#@!@ post office is taking so long. It's the Lenten Week here so offices would be closed from Thursday and resume on Monday after Easter. I hope I get it today or tomorrow (which I doubt).

I got my Lure Beauty package today!!! My emu oil is here just in time.





I only ordered the 4 oz. Emu oil with Sweet Orange EO, a sample of Two-Timing Tightener w/ DMAE and a Chocoholics Lipbalm in Cocoa Mango for my daughter yet I got all these samples seen in the photo above: sugar scrub in Cashmere Mist scent, 4 exotic body butters in Japanese Honeysuckle, Rose, Soft Jasmine and Georgia Sunrise. One of the reasons why I love ordering from Lure. I hope they have a bigger sale soon so I can stock up on the emu oil.

My brother's wedding is next week and it's gonna be busy then especially when my relatives from the US get here on Thursday. Yahoo! I'll be getting more mmu (MMBB, EDM, Valerie, and other Amazon stuff I bought) once my cousin's here.

Went to the Ilog Maria Bee Farm after lunch and the kids had a great time looking at the bees, flowers and other plants there. We girlies bought a few items like all-natural soaps, honey, all-natural mosquito repellants, and other stuff. I love their products since they're inexpensive, home-made, from honey bees and effective. I like going to their farm but I also order their products online since it is VERY far from the city.

guess what this is?
