Target Goodies

I signed up for this in I think February? And forgot all about it until Nouveau Cheap posted about it. I honestly thought Target forgot or couldn't send enough for everyone until I saw this in my room when I came home (about a month ago). It isn't much but I'm excited to try the products out :D



My package came opened? Hence the rubber band. But nothing inside was touched...Maybe my neighbor who also has the same name as me opened it by accident?




The bag is really nice! I love the colors although if I saw this at Target and was looking for a makeup bag it probably wouldn't be the first thing I'd consider lol








Another lip balm...! Geez I think I have enough to last me for years xD
I haven't tried this yet but did take a sniff at it. If I'm correct there is mint in there and that is one product that I really prefer my lip products to NOT have...Maybe it'll be a good enough product for me to not mind. I don't know yet...

Did anyone else sign up and get their target sample bag yet?

Love Package from BEAUTIFUL CANVAS

No..I didn't win another giveaway. This is a different love package.

About a month ago, I emailed a blogger than I followed, BEAUTIFUL CANVAS (do check out her blog! Most of her reviews are short and to the point. Great for those days where you still want your blog fix but don't necessarily have the time and patience to read long reviews lol) and asked if she would be interested in swapping an item that I saw she was selling on her blog sale. I wasn't expecting much since I was just a stranger but she replied a while later and said she'd love to. So I thought why not since our products don't work well for us..maybe it would work better for the other person.

Keep in mind, I have never swapped anything before so this was a lovely new experience. My package to her did get there a lot later than expected which caused a lot of worrying but it did reach its destination, YAY! ^__^








The main point of the whole swap was this foundation. I bought it in shade Yellow Ocher 01 and I thought that it would work for my face pretty well but, of course, my neck is at least 2-3 shades darker and is so stubborn and won't lose its tan so I couldn't possibly wear it. When I saw that she had Natural Ocher 02 I asked her on a whim. I haven't tried it yet but hopefully, it'll be dark enough to match my neck. If not let's hope I can lighten my neck shade so I can still give this product much love :P

Birthday Presents!!~

Another year older! And I am of legal age :]
But it doesn't feel much different LOL *Sigh*

My birthday (both Gregorian calendar and lunar calendar..what a coincidence) was actually last month. I only officially celebrated one with my family though because all my friends' have very busy lives (unlike me..which reminds me I need to find a job ASAP before college). But no fret we did celebrate and I had a great time :] Most of my friends aren't the giving presents type as we decide to just hang out instead. But Bestfriend is of course Bestfriend and we've always given presents to each other (at least as far as I can remember we have). This year was a bit more special since our interests have expanded a lot since we've both delved further in the beauty world (me more-so than her), so there were more options for present choices. When she gave me the bag with these two wrapped boxes I was 99% sure what they were. And I loved them, even more, when I did open it :D You'll see why!

----------

First..I went ahead to Sephora and got my birthday present/product. I must say I'd choose this over last year's choice any day..I haven't used it yet but it sounds delicious!


From Bestfriend:



So cute!! :D

Hehe my card has been purple every single year. Not that I'm complaining..purple is my favorite color! I wonder if she's going to run out of purple cards to give me LOL Of course, it had a lovely message inside but that's a bit too personal for blog sharing :X




TADAAA! My Beauty Diary MASKS!!
Bird's Nest and the LE/SE Alice in Wonderland themed set
I already have the Bird's Nest but really do like it so, of course, I do not mind having another one :]


So cute right?!


Could anyone translate? I can't read Chinese =X



I think all the masks that come in this set are new, correct me if I'm wrong. I also have never seen these being sold in its own individual box nor have I heard of them (other than on Blair's blog). I'm excited to try them all, especially the Arbutin Whitening and Hyaluronic Acid Moisturizing Masks.
