A Gift From Nicola

The beautiful and sweet Nicola from bangbangsheshoots recently sent me the cutest little package.


She knew that I am growing out my fringe, and am having difficulty finding a good eyebrow pencil. She not only suggested one, but she was so kind as to post it to me too! She also included an amazing bunch of other things.


The aforementioned eyebrow pencil. Shiseido Integrate Gracy in Grey.


Also included was this cute cream blush from Canmake. The shade is 11, Heavenly Heart. The name itself is adorable, and I really love the shade! Will post more about this blush later on. Do read Nicola's post on this blush (if you haven't already). It looks absolutely stunning on her teamed with Nars Orgasm Illuminator. A really simple, yet beautiful look.


She also gave me these Beauty Diary masks in Black Pearl and Bulgarian White Rose. Can't wait to try them out!


I love taking baths, so these bath tablets were also such wonderful gifts! One of them says 'Human is fighting against fatigue. Charley supports you' - how sweet is that?!


Will post more about these lovely products later on, am really looking forward to using them all! If you're reading this, thanks again Nicola x


*Updated* I have just used the strawberry milk bath tablet (the one with the pink and white striped packaging). The tablet itself is a bright rose pink colour. Was such a pleasant surprise. Sorry no pics of the tablet (I was in the bath when I opened it, so there wasn't a camera anywhere in sight).

It effervesced instantly on contact with water. The bath water turned a milky violet. Such a dreamy colour. Had an amazing bath, and I could swear that my skin felt softer afterwards.

  10. Awww, she's so sweet and I can't wait to see you with the blusher.

    Been wanting it for a while now but I'm not good with cream blushers at all. I fear I might end up looking like I have baboon's ass for cheeks.
