You are probably wondering, what is a "My Pretty Pink Box"?

Description from their website:

"My Pretty Pink Box is a pretty, little box filled with beauty samples! This gives shoppers a chance to try girly products from a number of wonderful companies. Enjoy samples, products, and special discounts from our awesome retailers and e-tailers! Each box contains handpicked beauty items from both up & coming and well known brands. Plus, it is a great way to spoil yourself rotten - Pamper yourself, you deserve it!

Not only will you receive great samples, but we are determined to provide at least 1 to 2 full size products each month. Nothing is better than full size products at sample pricing! "

I was contacted by Linda Granillo, the owner of My Pretty Pink Box to try this amazing product of hers. My box arrived today and I was excited! She said that they are in the midst of changing their box distributors. That explains the white box instead of a pink one.

My Box contained:

• Revlon Runway Collection Nails in full size
• Organic Apoteke Samples
• Skin Free Whipped Tamanu Body Butter in full size
• Appellation Samples
• Sekkisei Samples
• Mineralicious Eyeshadow Sample in Huntress
• Coupons (i.e. Save $5 on any purchase of $10 & up with a code: _____)
• Avon samples

Yay! Can't wait to try this! :)

My Favorite!!!

Such a pretty color!

My Take On This Review:

"For me, My Pretty Pink Box is a great way to find that "HG product" you've been looking for! I'm on the midst of finding the right skin care for me, I have been talking on the last entry that I needed something to lighten my acne scars. Then my Pretty Pink Box came, and I saw this product (SEKKISEI) that I have been wanting to try. I want to buy something from their website but I didn't know what to get. Imagine my joy when I saw a sample of Sekkisei product in my box! OMG wish came true! I actually tried it an hour ago and fell in love with the white mask! Now I know what I will get from their website!

For $10.99/box, you'll never know what products you might fall in love with! I got 7 products that I will try and see if my skin/body will react to it.

This box - not only will pamper you, but it will also give you an opportunity to try the best products out there that you'll never know exist! Like the Appellation Samples that I got. I didn't know about them until I got my box. Their products smell so great!"

I hope I convinced some of you who are still looking for that "HG moisturizer, lip balm, mask, conditioner, eye cream etc.." to try My Pretty Pink Box. September box now available and if you click "What's in My Box", you'll be able to see if you like the products that will be in that Box.

Remember that My Pretty Pink Box only comes once a month and is very limited so you better hurry up and order yours now :)

Sephora Haul + Food Porn

Note: Picture Heavy!!! Might slow down your computer. ^.^

Hello my lovelies! So I told you guys that I ordered something from Sephora during the time I was sick in bed. ^^ and I ordered that last August 08 (Saturday) and it arrived August 11 (Tuesday). That was lightning fast! Kudos to Sephora for shipping it fast! They gave me 10% for being a V.I.B (Very Important Beauty-Insider) so I took advantage of it since I needed some "necessities" ^^

Look at the inside of the box! *squeals* goodies!!! I ordered 5 items :) I'll be reviewing them soon! ^^

This one is actually for my mom. I bought one last month and fell in love with it so I recommended it to my mom. I will review this very soon!! I love it, mine is almost done! Need to get a back up very soon! ^^

This one was influenced by the beautiful Lindah! She gave me a sample through our swap and I just realized I need it! I alternate using this and my Dame Edna Powder. This MUFE HD Powder is an HG status ^^

I'm almost done with my MUFE HD Primer in Blue and really love that one but I decided to try #7 which is the Pink one. It stated in their website that it brightens the complexions and counteracts sallow undertones. I'm excited to try it ^^ I'll review the Blue one very soon!

I got a back up! Yay! This is my HG Make up Remover. I love love this so much! Read my review and you'll know why I love it: http://withadriyah.blogspot.com/2009/06/beauty-review-clinique-take-day-off.html

Then I saw lots of good reviews regarding this mascara so I went ahead and got it! I will also review this soon :)

I am loving this brush!! :) What do you guys think? Have you tried this mascara?

Then today [Aug 13], Adrian took me to Sanrio and I bought this Hello Kitty Air Freshener for my car. So cute! :) Then I found these Hello kitty scotch tapes so I got 2 and 1 melody ^^ I'm excited to use them to all the love mails I'll be sending in the near future ^^

Here's how my vanity looks like now ^^ I organized it. Yay! It looks way better now. I still want to change the decorations in my steralite drawers.

I started collecting make up last March 2008. It's been 1 year and 5 months and I must say I did pretty good in not overbuying things. I actually sold most of my stuff and kept the ones I really want and need. I mean I know some people who started collecting make up same time as me and I see them now with big/tall containers full of make up or vanities full of make up. But then they are planning to be make up artist so its OK. lol.

This is the other side. ^^

Then my lippie + MAC brush collection :) I need to make some DIY brush guards. :)

My dirty mirror + my miscellaneous brushes ^^

I want to get this shirt! It's only $10 at Charlotte Russe^^ every blogger should get this as our uniform. ahahaha! I wish they have a pink one :P

This is a tattoo sample. I am not planning to get one, but if I ever do, I'd like this design. lol :P

FOOD PORN!

I love food. A lot of us do. I love to eat, love to try new things. I was craving for some Dimsum so Adrian and I decided to drive almost an hour to Rowland Heights to eat at Happy Harbor.

I say its a decent place. The waiters are very attentive and always there to cater to your needs. The ambience is very nice and the food was good.

Expect to pay Tea + setting fee though. lol. you better drink that tea!!!

Dumplings! Yummmyyyyy!!! I love their dumplings, although its not the best Dumplings I ever tasted. :)

The ribs is absolutely amazing!! I recommend it! ^^ We also ordered crab rice and its one of the best fried rice I've tasted :)

Chicken feet!! I love this stuff -.^

Shark dumplings. Adrian ordered it. He liked it. I don't eat shark but I tasted it anyway, and its pretty good. Poor shark. lol.

SIOPAO! I love Pork Buns. :)

They serve fresh fish. He looks like he was starring at me. Pray now fish, its your last hours.. :p

Hope you guys enjoy food pics as much as I do. Anyway, personal life stuff, they did talk to that co-worker of mine but he just started whining & said we over work him too much, or I do since I do most of the schedule for the day. For Goodness sake, he is the laziest person I've ever known [well maybe not..but you got the point!] I'm so glad he's off tomorrow or I'll bust his ass. He just made me more mad and what am I gonna do? Since I'm his shift lead, I'll give him more work to do. Haha. Talk about abusing authority :P

Well, enjoy your Weekends, as for me I'll be at work! Tweet me! ^^ Also I've been haulin' make up the past few days, and I need to stop. As Adrian told me, "who will know you are wearing branded make up anyway?" TRUE. VERY TRUE. Unless I painted the work M.A.C. on my forehead? :P But I guess I have enough make up to last me a life time so I will try to cut down and eventually stop hauling. I NEED FALL CLOTHES!!! and bags...and shoes... :P

Also Adrian's birthday is coming up! I gotta plan something!! Any recommendations? I need to SAVE UP! SERIOUSLY. -.-

Hope you guys enjoyed the picture filled post. Until next time. ADIOS.
