Morning tea with the gals!

Was so awesome today...i finally got my muchly awaited NYX haul, Colorblends contacts (in colours sterling grey & gemstone green) and my sister got her Forever 21 haul. I can't wait to try my new colour contacts! I have amethyst at the moment and i must say, it is so lovely =) Aside from that, my NYX haul include 12 Round lippie shades and 6 Round lip glosses - so beautiful! I am thinking about including some swatches of them. My second NYX haul should be arriving soon and i can't wait!!!

Had a morning tea get together with my friends today and had so much cake, biscotti, marshmallows, fondue and fruit salad! Was crazy! I should have taken a photo of all the food we had. I brought a portion of it home for my sister as she has a very sweet tooth ^^

Here's a pic of a green tea tiramisu cake from http://chezannies.blogspot.com/2007/01/green-tea-ramisu.html, that my friend attempted to make. I have to say, it was absolutely GODLY! I was so happy when i saw how simple it is to make coz i want to make one myself!





I was also ecstatic to know that my Sephora Color Play 5 in 1 palette arrived safe and undamaged to Norm's place. Since Sephora do not ship internationally and do not accept international credit cards, i made my purchase via Amazon (thank gawd for Amazon!) and had it delivered to Norm's. So when i get to California this coming July, i wont need to bring any eyeshadows or blush.

There were several great things drew me towards this palette. I have read so many reviews about make up from Sephora and i thought to myself, for $29.50 it is worth a try - especially for 50 eyeshadows, 5 blushes and 10 lip colours!

It comes in 5 detachable palettes included in the one kit and the colours are organised in corresponding tones which is ideal for noobie make up enthusiasts like myself, saving us the trouble of mismatching eyeshadow colours.

At first i was attracted to the 5 detachable palette idea. How awesome, the detached palette would easily fit into my handbag but i realise, how often does one really reapply their eyeshadow or blush while out and about.

I can't wait to use it!!!! There are soooooo many great reviews about the value and quality of this set.

Now i'm tempted to get Sephora's Warm Colorful Artist Palette. The reviews for this palette are pretty disappointing though. Most people said that the eyeshadow had chunky glitter in it and not suitable for work and more suitable for outtings. So i guess i won't be getting it unless it goes on sale =)

So excited about going to California...yay!

Have a great day everyone!
