Giveaway Update: New Prizes Added

I was feeling really bad actually. Becuase well, I thought that my prizes were a bit skimpy you know? Some people like to do like 10000 prizes in a giveaway, but frankly, I'm not going to take the time to accumulate 1000 items and store them away like a squirral preparing for hibernation. I don't want to even think about shipping costs, especially international.
However, I decided to add a few more gifts for the winner because I love you guys that much. The giveaway is located in the sidebar just in case you guys are interested.
There is one hand cream, 2 pairs of earrings and a sparkly hair tie. Yay! But back to some good news, a bunch of swaps came in yesterday and the day before, so I will be posting a bit on that tomrrow (assuming that everyone on MUA bascially confirms that they recieved my end). And a quick more bites of info: I won't be doing EOTD this week (usually I don't but whatever) because my right eyelid is kinda puffy b/c of a sty. I've been warm compressing it with some hot water and cotton pads, so it should go away soon. But better safe than sorry, especially with makeup right?

I freaking love CVS beauty clearance

This is actually a 2 part post. The first part is basically my pitiful "haul" from the HUGE CVS beauty clearance. I mean, usually I bascially BUY out the store. But.... you know. This year, my CVS didn't really put that much stuff on clearance. And the stuff they did put on clearance, well, weren't very interesting. How long does this sale go on anyway? Probably a month or something becuase I'm going hauling next week and theres a CVS near that place. Heehee. I'm also planning on converting loose change at the Stop and Shop Coinstar. I can convert it to a CVS gift card and they don't take a "changing coins to dollar fee"! Yay!



Usually I don't buy Maybelline and L'Oreal. I think that their stuff is a bit overpriced (at CVS at least) for the quality. Almay Interplay mascara is my HG, but this was on sale and Almay is freakin 8 dollars (as compared to 5 at Target) so this was a good deal for me. it's like my emergency mascara. For the HIP stick in Meticulous, I don't know if I like it all that much. I guess it's good as a base (like NYX jumbos) but. It's aiight.

Crappy swatches.



OMG so exciting! I got the my contest prize from Phyrra. Thanks sweetie! Here are the Meow swatches heehee. These are from the Wild Child collection.



Lto R: Hacker, My Bad, flixting, GMTA, ROFLMAO, TMI, WTF, ROFL

As much as It'd like to put an EOTD up, my eyeliner is bacsially smudge to nowhere b/c I'm swearing off UDPP on my lower lashline. My lower lid is pretty dry SIGH. I'm planning on getting TFSI instead next time. Or stop blinking. Either one works for me.

And for my announcement! I have almost reached 100 followers! Yay! once I do, I will include another prize in my giveaway (located in the sidebar). I won't be announcing it because I think that's pretentious and it's a bit early doncha think? I know that you guys will LOVE it.

The perfect summer scent!

I started my blog last week, and I'm really enjoying it!

Perfume is something people see in many different aspects. Some people say they don't need them, some people say they're too expensive to invest in, some people like them and some people, like me see it in a way of fashion. I use perfume to dress up or dress down an outfit, just like accessories. Different outfits and seasons go with different scents.My favorite kind of summer scents are citrusy, fruity, floral, fresh or spicy. The scents I'll be showing you today, are all brand new summer collections =)

CKIN2U - By Calvin Klein. CKIN2U is a new scent with an explosion of fruity and floral. With a blend of white pepper, iced bergamont and mandarin,this scent is modern and very summer 2010. Butterscotch, cedarwood and tonkabean completes the scent like nothing else!



Tease - By Paris Hilton. Paris Hilton is releasing her 10th fragnance in June this year. The scent is said to be playful and flirty with a mix of Fuji apple, white peach nectar bergamot, white flowers and base notes of amber, blonde woods and warm sand, this scent isvery fruity and floral.

Rock me! summer of love - By Anna Sui. Anna Sui has released a new perfume to compliment her original rock me fragnance: Rock me, wich is more intense and night time than her new summer scent. Anna Sui says: "the scent is for the rocker girl who has a softer indie-folk side"Rock Me! Summer of Love is a floral scent, and features notes of bergamot, blue water hyssop, geranium, peach, freesia, waterlily accord, musky rose, sandalwood and ambergris.

The notes features bergamot, pink grapefruit, peach, rose, magnolia, honeysuckle, apple blossom, benzoin and amber.
