Packages

I've gotten a few packages from the last couple of weeks because of certain contests I won and I thought I would share with you guys =]
I was soooo happy and thankful for being able to win these contests! I got really excited everytime my dad handed me a package saying "I don't know what this is." I'm surprised he didn't ask why I got a package from the US and from the UK!

Anyways, I shall do this in the order I received them.

MOONBEAMSTARLIGHT
So a while back I won Ling's contest (aka. moonbeamstarlight on youtube) for doing this magical theme look.

And I won...

So here Ling sent me a make up brush bag that she made herself, which is the blue starry sparkley bag =] I think the material is so cute! I didn't realize that it was that glittery also. For a second, I thought that she used sparkly paper to write her note but then I realized that it was just the glitter from the bag. Ahah. She also sent me a Clinique bag which is really big! It fit all my beauty products when I went to Buffalo for a weekend.

This is the Hello Kitty eye shadow palette by H&M. I noticed that she uses this palette in a lot of her videos, which is probably the reason why she's giving it as a prize. I didn't even know that H&M sold these type of things. I did not realize how sparkly the eye shadows were until now. I would have totally used this for my DragonPalace88 entry.
I was very excited about getting the Glam Crystals Collection 2000 Eyeliner because I don't think the brand is even available in Canada and I heard they're really good from Ling of course. Ahah. There's a bunch of different colours but the one she gave me was silver. I'm glad I got the silver one because it can basically go with any outfit, though I do wanna see the other colours as well XD I did a swatch on my hand when I got it. Very pretty and sparkly =] ... and again I would have totally used it for my DragonPalace88 entry! D:

Ling is also a huge Hello Kitty fan so she sent me this Hello Kitty egg. It's almost like a Kinder Surprise! XD It came with a little Hello Kitty toy, Hello Kitty stickers, and candy. Yummm.. The toy was so cute and so small. I didn't want to lose it so I put it in my make up brush holder.

Can you find her? D:


Ninjatown desktop yeahhhhh.

Besides these items I also got a small Mango body butter tub, a Juicy Couture perfume sample (which is like a mini spray bottle!), a small tub of Vitamin E moisture cream, a L'Oreal true match sample in N4 (it's not that off from my skin tone, I'm N3 =]) and a bunch of samples.

Thank you so much Ling!!! =]

23 CRYSTALS
I already posted about winning the 23 Crystals contest a while back and I finally took pictures of the new necklace I got from them.
So just a little recap. We had to send in a picture doing the '23' for their August 2009 Cuties Contest and my entry got chosen =] I did it with my sister while I was in Californiaaaaaa.

And I won...

Yayyyy =] The necklace is from their Cuties Collection.. thus the name of the contest. So prettyyyyyyy. I already got compliments on it.
So comparing it to my other necklace, it is smaller but it still looks great just on its own.

My collection will probably get a lot bigger in the future... when I have money XD. I decided to mix and match with my other necklace for fun.

Yes, I am using their awesome note paper as the background.

I cannot enter in the next one for September and it's my birthday month too =( Ahah. It's all good. There will be more in the future >=] So, go follow 23 Crystals on their blog and join their group on facebook! They have more awesome swarovski jewelry for cheap prices and will be hosting a giveaway every month. You still have a chance to enter for the September 2009 Cuties Contest!

Thank you again Anne and Toots!

Lastly,

DRAGONPALACE88

At the beginning of August, I won DragonPalace88's Contest called "Eye of the Dragon" for doing this look.

I am very happy that I won because I put so much effort into designing and creating this look. A few things I was stuck on for the design were the scales and the claws. (Which is why you might notice that when I show the design on the video it wasn't completely finished. Ahah) I wanted to be happy with every choice I made. Then one day, I came across this picture where someone did a snake look and she had scales on her forehead and cheeks. On the description she said she used fishnets. I thought that idea was brilliant! I youtubed it, and she's not the only person that has done it before. So I decided to borrow this technique. It worked perfectly =]
For this contest, the winner was chosen by votes. There were only about 5 or 6 entries for this contest. I was sooooo happy seeing that almost all the votes were for me! I really don't remember how many votes there were. I think over 50? I might be completely off, but I know that there were like 3 votes for other people. But still... I was sooo happy! XD Thank you to those who did take the time to vote and support me.

I won....

I really excited so I opened them already before I took the picture.

Sonia Kashuk products! I am very happy because I don't think Sonia Kashuk is available in Canada either. She sent me them in this really awesome envelope, which is the background of that picture! It's so rad. I love it!
As you can see, I got some Sonia Kashuk lashes. I usually only wear false eye lashes for dance competitions so my mom buys the thicker ones. But these ones I think I will use for special occasions because they look more natural looking =] I can probably use them in any future tutorial contest entries.

This is the 5 piece brush set that comes in the little white pouch. Perfect for travel! It has a litte mirror inside and there are even labels for the brushes on the inside. It's very cute =]

Lastly, this is the eye shadow quad called "Smoke in your Eyes." I find the name funny for some reason. Ahah. I LOVE the packaging for Sonia Kashuk. I haven't tried it yet, but the eye shadows seem well pigmented.
Thank you so much for hosting this contest DragonPalace88! (Your real name is very unique =] )
Go subscribe to her! XD

Because we're on the topic of packages, I did receive the photos from the Fever photoshoot I was chosen to be in. I was going to post about the photoshoot when I did receive the pictures so then there would be something to show you, but unfortunately, they told us that we're not allowed to post the pictures on facebook or anything =(. This made me really sad because I really wanted to share with everyone T_T. We took so many pictures, but in the end they only gave us a few. I got like 9 pictures. They said if we wanted more we would have to order them from the photographer. My mom and I are curious to see what the others looked like so we might email them back to see and hopefully order.

Toodlez~
