I am loved! Packages from Friends + NOTD

Monday, May 17, 2010

I mentioned the other day that I got a care package from Mae, and today I received a birthday box from LipGlossJunkee (how she's known on MUA). She had told me last week to expect it today, so from 11am this morning, I parked my butt right next to the mailbox. Seriously, I grabbed Mr. MakeupWithdrawal's collapsible lawn chair, a bottle of organic chilled lemonade, an issue of Marie Claire and eagerly waited for it.
Here's pictures of both packages:

Mae's package include a mini Too Faced Pink Leopard Bronzer, four NYX Pearl Manias, three NYX Chrome shadows, two NYX trios (and a partridge in a pair tree!), an Express gloss and skin care samples! I've already talked about the bronzer, but will slowly review all the rest of the items.

This is LPJ's birthday present to me (she shouldn't have, really). Two Avon True Color Quads in Aquadelic and Electric Purple, True Color Blush in Coral Radiance. Milani singles in Rich Chocolate and Taffy (she's encouraging the obsession I have with tracking them all down), MAC Melon pigment, mini Urban Decay 24/7 in Graffiti, Avon SuperShock liners in Khaki Shimmer and Plum, Stila pencil in Topaz. Oh, and two Avon brushes; Rounded Shadow Brush and Eye Liner Brush. Last but not least, OPI Suzi Skis In the Pyrenees (Suede Finish) and Sally Hansen Hidden Treasure polishes (this one has been so hard to find for me). This woman knows my makeup taste better than I do, I swear. I can't wait to play with every item!
Thank you both so much! :)
And here's my NOTD!

A bit messy, but you get the idea.

It's that very same OPI polish that LPJ just sent me- Suzi Skis in the Pyrenees (which reminds me of my dog, who is a Great Pyrenees!). It's so odd, a matte formula with microglitter. But what's truly fascinating is the color, a charcoal base with silver microglitter. It reminds me of graphite in pencils.
