Mail

I received my Avon order today! And it is a really small order (only one item!) but, of course, they prefer to waste a big box - as always. -_-

At least they included some brochures and leaflets.

What I ordered is this pretty thing...

(please don't mind the washer and dryer in the back)

It's the Key to My Heart Necklace. It's a key pendant with faux-stone on 42 cm (16 1/2'') chain with 9 cm (3 1/2'') extender. It's available in silvertone or in goldtone. I bought it on sale for 9.99$ but it qill be 19.99$. I just couldn't resist as I LOVE key-shaped jewellery =D

This week, I also received three of my magazines:

The March issue of Fashion (which I received after the April issue ?!?), and the April issue of Cosmopolitan (why in the world did they have to put Gaga almost naked on the cover of Cosmo?) and Glamour. The only one missing is Allure.

Project "Pan them all!" update + Clairol Perfect 10 + NOTW + FOTD

My giveaway closes tomorrow at midnight so don't forget to enter here!!

Two more products to cross off my Project "Pan them all!" list!

Garnier Nutritioniste Skin Renew Daily Regenerating Moisture Cream

Luscious Layers Vanilla Fudge Layer Cake Whipped Body Butter

That Garnier cream is my HG facial moisturizer, as it seems to be the only one that is able to get rid of dry skin, and it makes my face feels so fresh and smooth. I was in a hurry to pan it because it has exceeded his expiration date by... almost 2 years, and the texture started to look weird. Here are some pictures of the last bits:

I'm not sure if you will be able to see it... but the texture have become a lot more watery and it was turning yellow!

I know I shouldn't have finished it as it was getting weird... but I decided to give it a try and as it didn't do nothing bad to my skin, I continued using it. I would have felt bad to throw it away )=

I will now be using my new Marcelle Hydra-C 24H Moisturizing Gel-Cream as a facial moisturizer ^^

The whipped body butter was not on my list of things to pan, but I had to use another moisturizer because I finished Avon Naturals Strawberry & Guava Moisturizing Body Yogurt. And I quickly finished it as the container is so small!

I dyed my hair with Clairol Perfect 10 in Dark Brown (espresso on the double):

Here's what is inside the box:

 

So I proceeded on applying the color:

 It's funny how brown hair dye always look purple at the roots when applied!

I was afraid to let the dye only 10 minutes in my hair... so I extended it to around 15 minutes. And here is the final result, fresh from the shower:

I'm amazed at how shiny and soft my hair are now!

 

  

I'll be doing a review of this product soon!

Onto my NOTW:

Yes, I'm totally addicted to glitters! So I used:

• Sally Hansen Hard As Nails Xtreme Wear - Tangerine
• old glittery nail polish (it's so old it doesn't even have a label anymore!)
• Sally hansen Ultimate Shield Fortifying Base & Toap Coat

Yesterday I met with friend for dinner, and I decided to try my Physicians Formula Mosaic Cream Eye Shadow in Nutmeg Mosaic I got for 1$ at a Dollar Tree in Wildwoods:

Face
CoverGirl Tanfastic Bronzer - Soleil 315

CoverGirl Cheekers Blush - ? (the label has been torned)

Eyes

Physicians Formula Mosaic Cream Eye Shadow - Nutmeg Mosaic

Maybelline Unstoppable Eyeliner - Onyx

Maybelline Lash Stiletto Mascara - Black

Lips

they were chapped and dry so I skipped lipgloss or lipstick and tried to treat them with Jamieson Laboratories Vitamin E 100% Pure Oil

This Physicians Forumlas palette is actually a cream-to-powder eyeshadow. It is highly pigmented, but it seems to crease quickly... I will try using a primer before applying it next time.

I subscribed to Fashion Magazine some times ago, and I received my gift for subscribing this week:

It's two samples of L'Oréal EverPure Color Care System. I've got a 0.5 FL. OZ (15 ml) shampoo and conditioner. It's nice because I wanted to try these!

My mother bought me a surprise from Giant Tiger today:

Giant Tiger European Milk Chocolate! I didn't know they had their own chocolate! It's really written (C)2009 Giant Tiger Stores Limited on the back of the label... Can't wait to taste it ^^

Oh and...

...Dorothy helped me do my homeworks the other day ^^
