Mail of the week (January 3 - 7)

I don't know if you have noticed but I didn't do a "Mail of the week" post last week as it was the Holidays so nothing was delivered in our mailbox.
 
My order from Apothica.com: I finally placed my first order with Apothica! I was so excited to receive it (it only took 3 days to arrive!), but I'm disappointed to see that Too Faced Natural Eye Palette is missing )= It's on back order, but instead of telling me so, they shipped the rest of my order anyway. But I guess it's OK because the palette will be automatically shipped as soon as it is re-stocked. Here's what I received:
  • Yves Saint Laurent Mascara Volume Effet Faux Cils
  • Burt's Bees Baby Bee Skin Creme
  • NuCèlle Mandelic 10% Serum (free sample)

I can't wait to try this mascara, I've heard lots of great things about it!

 Your Girlfriend My Girlfriend shirt from Zazzle.com for my boyfriend: I thought this was funny! 

February issue of Fashion magazine: This is my last issue. I guess I'm not enough into fashion to fully enjoy this magazine.

  My prize from I Love... Cosmetics: Thanks to Claudia, I recently discovered this UK based brand and entered one of their Facebook sweepstakes, and... guess what? I won a blueberry & smoothie lip balm, which smells absolutely yummy! I will definitely be reviwing this product and testing some more from this brand. Oh yeah, and the best part about I Love... Cosmetics? They don't test on animals!

February issue of Glamour: Am I the only who don't get who are the Kardashian? What do they do for a living?

    @Ria : I'm glad you love the Burt's Bees cream, I guess it can only be good as it's designed for babies (= I didn't veen know about I Love... Cosmetics before! I'm glad I discovered them and got the chance to try something for free (=

    @Gertrude: I know, it's so classy!

    @Kate Gene: Yes, it smells soooo good (but sadly, doesn't taste anything LOL)

    Hé Gaby!

    Ca me donne hate de voir le courrier que j'ai à la maison, je vasi voir lundi! Je sais que j'ai recu quelques paquets et aussi mon Glamour, j'ai hate de voir!!!

    J'comprend vaguement qui sont les Kardashian, je sais quils ont une serie téléréalité, mais à l'origine, j'ai aucune idée! J'aime quand meme le maquillage de Kim!

    I sure love to open mail and packages. Feels like Christmas!!
    The Kardashians have their own TV show or something with their family, the sisters are known to be trend starters.

    Hey Gaby do you want to do a drugstore beauty swap? I remember you mentioning to me about deals on my blog. Email me! sihuivice[at]yahoo[dot]com

    Hi Gaby! Haha yeah I didn't know about the top traffic referrer with Business2Blogger. I thought you would have known since I figured they would have notified you before copying the picture on your blog :S
    Yes you have a very high metabolism Gaby. That's actually a great idea about having a guest blogger do the review for me - I might get my older sister to do a review on the weight loss book.Thank you for the idea :)
    Oh the Kardashians. Well in my eyes they got famous for two reasons: (1) their dad was a famous defence lawyer on the OJ Simpson trial (2) Kim had sex with Ray J and other rappers...a video slipped and she got famous. I love Kim's style but yeah, there is a bit of a public obsession with the family.
    Mmmm blueberry lip balm sounds yum!
    Haha I LOVE that t-shirt that you got for your boyfriend. You're definitely sexy and in the "My girlfriend' category!
    I want to buy more Burts Bees products and experiment with the brand....looking forward to your upcoming reviews on the two products....and the YSL mascara packaging looks so sleek! I never tried any YSL mascaras. My younger sister told me she also loves Maybelline The Falsies like you do - so I can't wait to see what you think of the two compared :)
    Have a great weekend!

  16. Gaby Fauchon7 January 2011 at 19:54

    @luckiebeauty : J'ai très hâte de le tester, mais j'ai presque peur de l'ouvrir à cause du superbe packaging ahah! En effet, le lipbalm sent vraiment bon, et ça sent vraiment le bleuet, et non pas le synthétique! Et oui, c'est vraiment une primeur, car c'est le dernier né de la famille ahah!

    @superslickgloss : I'm glad I'm not the only one wondering what's up with them LOL!

    @Rebecca: I can't wait to try it, it's so pretty! I hope it's well worth the $30+

    @Ms Bubu: C'est sûr, c'est toujours excitant d'avoir du courrier hihi! Pour les Kardashian, je sais pour leur émission de télé-réalité, mais je ne comprends pas d'où ils viennent, et pourquoi ils ont leur propre émission ahah! J'aime aussi le maquillage de Kim quand même, mais je crois quand même qu'elle est un peu overrated.

    @Tracy@mybestbeautybuys : Oh yes, it totally is! And it smells like real blueberry, not a cheap chemical smell.

    @Kallyane : J'ai seulement utilisé le gel douche et je l'ai trouvé OK, sans plus.

    @SiSi Sparkles : Mail is always exciting hehe! Yes I do know about the Kardashian and their TV show, but what I don't understand is where they come from and why they have their own TV show LOL. I find them a little overrated. Thanks for offering me to do a swap Sisi, but I can't afford it know )= But I'll be sure to let you know if I change my mind! Thank you =D

    @KayKay: I can't wait to try it, it's sooo pretty! I've also heard a few bad things but I hope it's well worth the $30+

    @Karen: Oh I don't really mind that they have used my picture without permission as I love their website so much hehe! And it also gave my blog great exposure (=

    Oh I didn't know about the father of the Kardashian being a lawyer in the OJ Simpson trial, but I did know about Kim's sextape. I just find them quite overrated z=

    I have never tried any YSL mascara neither, but I jumped at the chance to try it since Apothica very kindly sponsor my blog (= I can't wait to try it!

    @Jennifer: Thanks! =D

    J'adore ce mascara de YSL! La seule chose que je n'ai pas trop aimé c'est qu'apres quelques heures, il me laisse avec des petites "smudges" qui donne l'apparence d'etre cernée! =( C'est domage, mais je peut vivre avec ca, car ils donne des cils tellement beaux!

    J'ai hate d'acheter la nouvelle copie de Glamour, c'est une de mes revues préférés! Moi aussi je ne comprend pas trop les Kardashians. J'ai vu leur livre l'autre jours et j'ai voulu l'acheter, mais seulement parce que il est rose et vraiment beau. Je pense pas d'etre trop intéressé au contenus donc je l'ai laissé sur la tablette =P

    Andrée xx

    @EveryDay Makeup (becky): yes, I'm thrilled to get a chance to try this brand (=

    @Jennifer :)~ : Aww thanks, I'm glad you like them! I'm so happy when i receive great mail =D

    @Straight Up Glam: Oui je crois que j'ai lu ça dans des reviews négatives pour ce mascara, mais je me suis dit qu'à ce prix là, il ne devait quand même pas être si pire, je veux donc m'en faire une idée par moi-même (= J'aodre Glamour et Cosmopolitan, ce sont les deux seules revues auxquelles je me réabonne encore et encore!

    @LilyLipstick: I can't wait to try it!

    @Jazzy E (hivennn): Thanks!
