Mail of the Week (May 16 - 20)

Product samples from Monave: I've been very kindly given the opportunity to try some products from this brand I had never heard of before. They have a wide selection of mineral makeup and vegan skincare, and of course, this company cruelty-free! As I'm trying to downsize my makeup collection, I opted for skincare products and a makeup brush:

• Flat Top Brush
• Honey Clay Cleanser
• Unscented Emollient
• Gentle Bamboo Honey Facial Polish

Guide to Cruelty-Free Eating from VeganOutreach.com

Surprise package from Biotherm: I still haven't figured out how Biotherm got my mailing address, and how they found my blog? Strange... but I certainly won't complain! here's what I received:

• White D-Tox Translu-Cell Intense Brightening Serum

My prize from Sarah's mini-giveaway: Sarah held such a cute Easter giveaway! We had to guess how many Cadbury Creme Eggs were in the bowl and I was so close, I guessed 40 but there was 39 eggs! My prize is 6 Creme Eggs, yum! Thank you Sarah =D

U by Kotex samples: I use the DivaCup so I don't need those, but I have ordered them for my mother. You can still order some here (US and Canada)

I won Rabiyah's giveaway: I was lucky enough to win a Sigma Flat Top Synthetic Kabuki - F80! I was excited to finally try it as it seems to be getting so much rave on the blogosphere, and I agree, it's great! The bristles are really super soft and dense.

This exclusive flat top synthetic kabuki was designed to deliver a flawless makeup application. The Sigma Makeup F80 is a buffer brush that can be used to blend powder or liquid products. The short and dense bristles make it easy to buff your liquid foundation. The long handle adds comfort to your makeup application. The synthetic fibers are ideal to be used with liquid products and can be easily cleaned. Made of Synthetic Sigmax HD filament.

Thank you Rabiyah!!

• 1 Barely There Thin Liner

 Caress Whipped Soufflé Blackberry Cream Ultra Silkening Body Wash from Rocket XL to test and review: I was contacted by Laura over at Rocket XL (which is a social marketing agency) to test and review the new Caress Whipped Soufflé Body Wash. I'm thrilled because Caress products aren't available in Canada, so that's a great opportunity for me!

Mail of the week (and last week)

So instead of writing a post each time I receive something by mail, I have decided to do the following: once a week (generally on Friday or in the week-end), I will do a "Mail of the week" post: I will write about all the items I got by mail in the week.

Let's start by last week:

$5.00 certificate from Revlon: I told them I was really disappointed with the quality of their nail polishes. I never take the time to write to a company when I'm upset about one of their products because most of the time, they don't even care to write back. I'm glad Revlon listened to my complaints.

Coupons from Save.ca: a free Mars chocolate bar and a free box of multi-grains Cheerios.

This week:

Incoco package: as a member of the Super Shimz Program on myshimmer.com, I received my first products to review. I'm not sure if I have heard of Incoco before, but I received a set of French Manicure dry nail appliqués and another in Red Velvet. I can't wait to try these out!

June issue of Allure

Coupons from WebSaver.ca: the only coupon that really interested me was the $2 off any L'Oréal Telescopic Explosion mascara, but with WebSaver, you have to choose at least 6 coupons, so I choose other coupons for L'Oréal products, a $2 off a Secret deodorant my friend Gen always uses, and a rebate on baby things from my friend Sara.

U by Kotex samples: I got:

• 1 CleanWear Regular Pad
• 1 Barely There Liner
• 1 Click Regular Tampon
