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.
