Paperdollrevenge's Surprise - Christmas Gift 2

My 1st Part of my Christmas gifts was the "Eff Me" Boots Post". That gift came from Adrian. ^_^ Then a day before Christmas, a surprise gift came from the mail. She is just too sweet!

Who could it be? No other than my sweet friend, Diana - Paperdollrevenge ^_^ She surprised me with a Christmas pack, she is just too sneaky! :)

Visit her bloggie: http://paperdollrevenge.blogspot.com/

She is also having a blog sale: http://paperdollrevenge.blogspot.com/2009/12/end-of-year-blog-sale.html

I totally didn't expect she's going to surprise me, so it made my Christmas eve/day sweeter when I opened the parcel. :)

One day at Twitter, she asked which is prettier, the China Glaze Ruby Pumps n/p or the O.P.I. Dear Santa. I told her that the Dear Santa is very pretty! I didn't know she's going to surprise me with one! ^_^ and then One day I posted on Facebook "somebody gift me with the Ginger Bells n/p" then she also surprised me with one. OMG I can't believe it! She is just very generous..and sneaky :P (like the quality of the pictures? they're from my new camera)

She also gifted me with different face masks. I cannot wait to try them! :)

I love her! She is just too nice to me. She's always there.. always cheering me up, keeping in touch, she's a true friend - a friend whom I can trust. :)

More updates to come.. I'm trying to finish everything before the year ends - which I don't think I'll be able to. Haha! ^_^ More gifts to post. I love you all! Thank you for everything. For being a part of my Year 2009 :)

Beauty Review: Korres Thyme Honey Mask

NOTE: Try this product at your own risk. If it works for me, it does not mean it will work for you too. Everyone has different types of skin. My skin consists of dry-combination-sensitive type of skin.

Images and Information are from Sephora.com

Korres Thyme Honey Mask is a moisturizing and revitalizing face mask made with Thyme Honey for natural and dry skin.

What it is formulated to do:

• Uncover glowing skin the natural way, as only Korres can provide. Real Thyme Honey is rich with antioxidants (to protect the skin from environmental damage and premature aging) and also deeply hydrating. Skin's elasticity is improved while becoming more radiant.

It does not contain the following:

• Parabens
• Sulfates
• Synthetic Dyes
• Petro-Chemicals
• Phthalates
• GMO
• Triclosan

What do we know about HONEY?

• As many of you know, honey has antimicrobial properties that actually fights bacteria! Bacteria which causes acne. Honey has an enzyme that generates low levels of hydrogen peroxide which helps fight bacteria. Honey promotes tissue growth thus helping your skin to recover and develop new skin. It also helps hold on moisture making your skin hydrated. Contains amino acid which is a very powerful antioxidant. Honey contains mild alpha hydroxy acids such as gluconic acid which helps exfoliate our skin. Gluconic acid helps shed the dead skin cells, giving you a clearer and smoother skin. It also increases elasticity, balance out oily skin, and minimizes lines and wrinkles giving you a more youthful look!

PROS: I love this mask! I love honey, the smell and everything about this mask. I have been using it for more than a month now. I use it once a week and I definitely noticed the difference. A lot of you know, I do not sleep that much due to work. Its important that I keep my face hydrated. Working for 16 hours is no joke, standing and making rounds at the hospital where I can easily pick up bacteria. Not getting enough sleep can also age your skin, developing early signs of wrinkles and fine lines. I say, this mask helps me a lot to hydrate my skin, making my face smooth and soft. It received great reviews at Sephora.com

Start with a clean face, apply the mask and let it stay there for 10-15 minutes or longer.. [I just came from work, notice how tired I am!]

Wash it off with lukewarm water then pat dry! You should feel the difference right away!

Don't forget to moisturize!

CONS: Its kind of hard to spread. This is not like my Korres Wild Rose Mask which is very easy to apply. This is kind of sticky and some people do not like the smell. Other than that, I can't think of any more Cons. Do your research.

OVERALL: I will repurchase. Also if the $27 is too much, I suggest making your own Honey Mask. Use raw honey - it is much better and you can definitely get all the benefits without worrying that there might be chemicals in it. Let it stay on your face for 10-15 minutes. You'll be amazed at the results. Please do not use Honey if you are allergic to it.

I went to the Post office to check mails and guess what I got! The Give-away gift from Edna! I was STOKED! I was jumping with joy! She totally made my day! *Giggles* Check her page!

http://www.abcgrrrl.com/

Edna is a very sweet girl. I think we first talked through Twitter. I think she also watches my Youtube videos and we began talking about the Hello Kitty Event and what products to get. She even made a haul video of her goodies and I was so envious of her hello kitty brush holder. Haha. :) I really love her bubbly personality. She is a truly amazing person. A friend who I will always treasure. I want to meet her someday and Thank her for all the kindness she's done :)

MONDAY LOVE PACK!

I love her mini business card! I want one too!! Edna, where did you have this made? I want one. Haha. I know I probably won't distribute them but its nice to have it. :P

Her very sweet note. I will give Pink Fish's relative a good home. I will love her and take care of her :) Thank You so Much Edna for this love pack. Its just too nice of you to give all of these. :) YOu are a very sweet person :) I Love You my friend! :)

When I opened the box, euphoria is what I felt! I couldn't even explain what I felt. I know people might think I'm exaggerating but seriously, the happiness is overwhelming! ahaha!

I saw Pink Fish's relative right away. She.....vibrates! hahah! :) I named her PLINK! After a MAC Lipstick. hahah! PLINK is just too cute! I will put her on my pink digicam :)

iPhone

So I just changed my AT&T plan and they let me upgrade even if I was still under contract. *Wink* So I got the iPhone 3G S but they were sold out at the stores so I have to wait 7-14 days to get it. I absolutely cannot wait!! I wish they could ship it sooner than 14 days! I got the 16gb WHITE one. I like it better than the black one. I want to bling it out! :)

SAMSUNG

We also got a Samsung 46" 1080p 120hz LN46A850 [lol, getting technical here..] I really love how clear the picture is! It looks amazing.. like real.. Its so scary to watch a horror movie. lol!

Here is when the husband was playing UFC Undisputed. He likes GSP [George St. Pierre] and Brandon Vera just because he's Flip. lol.

This picture does not justify the beauty of our new baby. Hahah! :D

Hope you guys had a great Monday too! :) Looking forward for the Weekend Now! Any Plans?

Lots of Thank You! :)

Purple Look + Hauls

Note: It's actually 12:47PM now.. I wasn't able to publish this last night because blogger went on maintenance at around 02:30AM. :(

Hello Hello!! :) Its 2:13AM.. Yup, one of those days that I can't sleep.. I blame it on the Iced Cold White Chocolate Mocha that I chugged a while ago. :) I went to Orange County with Adrian to visit my brother in law and his wife, and guess what? I did an FOTD! Yay! :D Its been awhile since I did my last FOTD/EOTD so enjoy.. ahaha!

FOTD/EOTD

FACE:

MUFE HD Primer

Benefit "You Rebel" Lite

Dame Edna "What A Dame!" Beauty Powder

EYES:

Glamour Check e/s all over the crease

Lotusland e/s on the lid

Vanilla pigment as highlight

Backtrack liner

IPUM lashes

LIPS:

Moonflower l/s

MORE HAULS!

I did more damage at Orange County.. Well, not really because I didn't spend that much. I used my giftcard to buy some of these things :) So, that made me really happy! :D

This headband is really unique. The husband said I looked like a peacock/chicken. ahaha! But I think its really pretty and I got some compliments a while ago while wearing this. :)

Then the husband let me get another one of this because its just too great! Really nice for summer. I am not a fan of any MAC Powders (except for my HK Kouture Powder) but there's something in this powder that makes my skin smooth and soft.

I finally got this eyeshadow!! Yay!! This is "All That Glitters". I've been lemming it since I can remember :) So I'm glad they have this at the CCO!! You won't believe how many eyeshadows they have at Ontario! They have Electric Eel, Nocturnelle, Pink Venus, Sable, Soft Brown, Humid, Freshwater and so much more!

This eyeshadow called "Henna" is going back to the CCO! Why? Take a look at the second picture below this! OMG Totally the same as my "Mink and Sable" and "Sumptuous Olive" Ugh! Makes me so mad for buying this! I'll just exchange it for something else!

Then I went to MACYS to return the Clinique Eye Make Up Remover that I got a month ago. Its just not working. It won't even remove my eyeliner completely, leaving me with racoon eyes in the morning. I thought they discontinued the Cleansing Balm but she told me they have a few more left so I was happy I was able to get this and just paid $11 because of the returned product.

This is the review I made  Click the link ---> "Clinique Cleansing Balm" I know its lame because there's no pictures. I  mean what's a review without pictures? So I will redo it and this time with pictures of before and after :D So Stay tuned for that!

SEPHORA

Then I went to Sephora because I remember I still have $$$ left from the giftcard they gave me. My overall purchase was $60+ but I ended up paying only $12+.. How cool! hahaha! I love giftcards..

I got the Korres Yogurt Mask and I have it on today! I will do a review soon :) I'm so happy to finally get this! This is my 2nd Korres product. I'm so stoked! Haha!

I tried this MUFE Lifting Concealer at Sephora and fell in love with it. I must have it. Its priced for $22. Too much in my book. Good thing I have the giftcard or else I wouldn't get it. Haha.. I'll do a review soon. Hopefully it won't break me out!

..and this is a deluxe sample. I want to try Laura Mercier products.. but foundie is the last thing I wanna try since I do not use foundie no more... oh well! :p

EYESHADOWS!

I was trying to rearrange all the colors in my palette.. look how many looked alike! Haha..

Highlights and Golds..

Greens and Blues
Pinks and Purples

Blacks and Browns/Neutrals

I'm so happy about my entire eyeshadow collection. I don't have plans on becoming a make up artist but its just makes me happy when I get one new eyeshadow.. ahahah.

I'll see you guys next post :) Hope you guys a happy week! :)
