Birthday Present

Yes, I finally figured out how to fix the camera problem! I'm really sorry but the pictures are all cloudy because the camera didn't work. Yes, I swear I ran back to get the camera, but first it didn't have a memory card. Then the memory cards didn't work. Then I was just like, whatever, I'm so excited that I'm just going to take some crappy pictures with my phone and make them real small on my post.

Get ready because this is a long, picture heavy post.

OK so it was raining and that's why the box is so wet. I felt bad for the mailwoman. (Yes, it was a woman not a man like you predicted. :D She was really nice.) I squealed when I heard the woman say 'Post Office' and my dad laughed at me.

Then I opened the box, pull out the box and took another picture. lol I know it's a lot of pictures, but I wanted to do a step-by-step show.
You were right, it was hard to open, I had to pull out the scissor.











And here I stopped because I was steaming breakfast at the time and had to turn off the fire.


Haha I was already taking pictures but I was using my phone here. I stopped and ran to get the camera because I wanted you to have good pictures... But that went to hell and I was so impatient that I just opened it. Here I got really hungry so I took the present with me to the table.






So here's your present, sitting next to me while I set up breakfast... I was so excited and happy!

So of course I laid everything out neatly, thrilled at every item I pulled out. You can even see my breakfast in the background! I had dumplings.
Here's the empty box...

And now I finally opened everything, swatched stuff, read your notes...
I haven't tried anything out for long term, but I will assure you that I love your present and I love that you thought of me for several months, buying all this stuff slowly. The lipgloss tastes like cotton candy, sweet and slightly sticky. I was worried it would wash me out, but it's just a nice sheer gloss with really nice pink glitter that hides all my lips lines. (Success!)

You read my mind on a couple of these gifts too. I also use that Clinique moisturizer. I like it, it's OK, best for winter but I like something lighter for summer.

I love pencil eyeliners; I sacrifice staying power for ease of use. Now I don't have to! I'll try it out and review it here if I ever remember. 

I really like the jewelry you picked out. I don't like to give jewelry since I'm sure everyone has different tastes, but I liked the ones you picked out. I love big earrings, but I rarely wear them since they clash with my glasses. When I get contacts I will be stocking up on lots of big earrings. I like the necklace too. Now I wish I remembered to wear it for the party. I was rushing that day to set up the food and it was really humid and disgusting. I'll pair it with an outfit and take a picture for you.

I laughed at the highlighter, what do you do, hand them out to people and say 'Join today for ENLIGHTENING opportunities!' ??

I already have that elf eyeshadow brush, but it's so annoying to wash, I really really needed more!

Quick note about the orgasm illuminator... I notice... nothing. Haha. I'm a bit shinier, but I think I'll keep trying it out and look at it under different lighting. The light in my bathroom is super flattering but too dark. I can't believe you even think of me when you're ordering stuff. Shame the blush/bronzer duo didn't work out for you. :(

When I try out the primer and eyeshadow and samples I will post about it. (Which reminds me, I must try to get some samples for you too...)

I ate one of the candies even though I was coughing, because guess what, I'm sick too! Our immune systems are both absolute shit :DDD Why am I happy about this?

So I'm happy that you sent me tea. I really needed it. I wish I took a picture of the tea I had but I was so desperate for relief I just drank it right away. I had the lemon one, which was a little too lemony for me... but it really cleared up my throat! Oh well, I don't like tea much, I just drink it for the health benefits. 

Thank you so much for mailing this to me. I know getting to the post office and paying shipping sucks, so thanks, you're the best best friend ever! I was so happy, it cheered me up. I had to spend that entire day buying stuff for the party. It was also humid and disgusting.

A picture of my MAN HANDS using your keychain. (My breakfast is half eaten in the background lol)
Lastly, a picture of my too big for me makeup collection, taken quite a while ago.

If you're curious about anything in here, you could ask me. I even included stuff I didn't like in here, to remember why I should never impulse buy. I own quite a lot of Physician's Formula... now that I realize it...

Thanks for being an amazing, supportive best friend. We haven't seen each other for like an entire year, god. I miss you so much. Hope to see you during xmas vacation to binge shop!

I love you. I hope you enjoyed reading this.
