Haul: It's raining makeup!

Tao po, tao po! Nandiyan po ba si Iya Boto? May package po kayo! 

I know you are all familiar with the feeling of excitement whenever a courier guy comes knocking at your door. It only means one thing, a package awaiting to be opened! Even if most of the time you already know what's inside, the rush of excitement to rip open the package will always be there. You know what I mean!

For several days, packages came knocking at my door. And you know what's the best thing about the makeup/beauty the products that I received? I all got them for free! I won three consecutive giveaways  - Beauty by the Dozen Giveaway by fellow bloggers from Beauty Bloggers United, Dainty MD's Holiday Makeup and Nailart Contest  (view my entry) and lastly, Poptastic Giveaway by Kai, April and Aila.

I luckily bagged the first prize from the Poptastic Giveaway sponsored by Jewel POP! Cosmetics, a mineral makeup line. I got a foundation, 2 blushers, 2 lipbalms, concealer and a fluffy powder brush.

These are the things that I got from Dainty MD. More makeup and other beauty items! I am especially pleased with the scented BK nail polishes. They really smell nice!

My to review list is constantly growing! But I am by no way complaining. I am really grateful for all of these things. Thanks to a lucky streak and of course, to the giveaway hosts. To those who think that they don't have any luck in joining giveaways, don't lose hope! Just join and click away! There will come a time when you'll see your name on that rafflecaptor app. Believe me, there will.

Have a good night!

Early Christmas: Prizes from Shen's Addiction Giveaway

Massive, huge, heavy, awesome, overwhelming, great, superb. Aaah! The prizes are so awesome! I'll be forever grateful to Ms. Shen for these prizes. It was like a huge early Christmas present or even a year's supply of beauty products. The prize I got is like several giveaway winnings combined. Pwede na kong hindi sumali ng giveaways ng isang taon! 

I won't be taking picture and listing every single product because that would take forever. Instead, I grouped the products into three categories:

A. Hair Care: I am excited to try out Syoss Moisture Intense Conditioner and Black Beauty Shampoo. The heavy weight of my loot is attributed to these products! Excuse the fact that I included a toothpaste and a soap in this group, my bad!

B. Skin Care: Majority of the products from this group went to mom. Hello, Ponds! I'm excited to try out the cleansing oil, Majolica Majorca Glove Cream and Snoe Fresh Custard powder.

C. Makeup: Save the best for last!! These products satisfied my makeup cravings. K-Palette, Benefit, Charm, Mememe and a Bobbi Brown lipstick! I can't wait to show you each item.

You know what's the best part of winning Ms. Shen's giveaway? Not the prizes but the chance to finally meet one of my biggest inspirations in beauty blogging, the author of Shen's Addiction. Read Meeting Shen's Addiction.

Shen's Addiction 4th Anniversary Giveaway: Winning Entry

A few hours ago, Ms. Shen of Shen's Addiction finally announced the winners of her 4th Anniversary Giveaway. I was lying on my bed all day because I'm sick until I saw the announcement. It literally made me  jump out of my bed. Hihihi. I am too happy to find out that I'm one of the winners! What even made me happier and excited is the chance to finally meet Ms. Shen! Yayyyyy! 

I'm also happy to see familiar names who also won the Ms. Shen's contest. Hello Kim of Kimpossibly Gorgeous and Raych of Makeup by Raych! Hoping to meet you two as well!

I'll finally be able to share with you my entry for the contest. I decided to share this with you after the announcement, win or lose. Here it is! I initially wanted to create a real scrapbook but time wouldn't just permit me. So, I created an e-scrapbook instead with my favorite looks and thoughts from Ms. Shen.

That's it! Congratulations to all of the winners!

God bless!
Love,
Iya
