Mail of the Week (February 28 - March 4)

My prize from Adrienne's giveaway: I was lucky enough to win the 2nd prize of her giveaway, which consists of some LUSH goodies:

  • Space Girl Bath Bomb
  • Mandarin's Tea Party Soap
  • The Ex Factor Bath Bomb

Adrienne also included some yummy Mingles, which I have never tasted before. I have never tried any of those products before, so I'm very excited! Thank you very much Adrienne, I can't wait to have a bath now!


PETA Vegan Lip Balms: I redeemed 13000 Peta2 Street Team points for these cute PETA Vegan Lip Balms. I got them in the following flavors:

  • "PETA Compassion" Fruit
  • "No S'more Animal Testing" S'mores
  • "Animals Out of the Act" Tangerine
I have started using "No S'more Animal Testing" S'mores and it instantly melts when in contact with the lips, leaving them incredibly glossy - just like if I was wearing a lipgloss!

My prize from Apothica's DuWop contest: Apothica recently held a contest in which we had to talk about DuWop in a blog post, and this post made me win! Here's what I won:

  • Private Red Lipstick
  • Lip Venom Lip Plumper
  • Crush Heavy Metal Metallic Eyeshadow in 18 Carat
  • Keep Blushing Water-Resistant Blush in Peach
  • $25 Apothica Gift Card

I have never tried anything from DuWop so I'm super excited, especially about the Lip Venom!

April issue of Fashion magazine: My subscription expired in February, but this is the second time they send me another issue! This one came without a letter though... just to be sure it hasn't been renewed automatically, I checked my account on the website but it's actually expired... strange...

Samples of Biotherm Skin.Ergetic Day and Night Creams: I got these through Facebook, but the offer is sadly not available anymore. However, you can still enter Trip.Ergetic contest to be automatically entered for a chance to win a free full-sized Skin.Ergetic Serum as well as an energizing getaway with 3 friends.

Samples from Four O'clock tea: I absolutey don't remember participating in MemorTeas, but it appears to be why I received some samples. Here is the selection of tea I was sent:

  • Fair Trade Chocolate Spice
  • Fair Trade Licorice Spice
  • Fair Trade White Tea Chai
  • Fare Trade Earl Grey
  • Mint Chai Herbal Tea Fairtrade
  • Green Tea

  8. @christine : I think I have an addiction to tea. I guess it's better than coffee hehe! I haven't tried Space Girl yet but I love the glitters (=

    @Anna Elizabeth : I know right! I'm very grateful! Yes I thought the lipbalms would be cheap, but they are vegan so I was eager to give them a try, and they actually smell and taste great. I love how glossy they leave my lips, but they seem to melt easily )= Oh and they are so pricey! $5 for only one lipbalm!

    @joana: Thanks hun, I'm glad you liked my post (=

    @Jennifer : I will, for sure!

    @petitechouxx : Ah oui, toi aussi? En fait, je ne me souviens aucunement avoir participé à ça sur Facebook... ça doit faire très longtemps!

    @Ms Bubu: Oui, très bonne semaine ahah! J'ai hâte de voir c'est quoi ton colis hihi!

    @Mercedes- Ms Purple Make-up : Aww bills suck!

    @Anonymous: Yes they are super cute and yummy! I know I'm very lucky, but I'm greateful for it (= But I'm not that lucky with lottery tickets, sadly hehe!

  12. I didnt know PETA has lipbalms hehe :)
    Yes faux cils is an intense mascara.. when I use it I have to grab tissue and clean excess product and then use it on my lashes slowly. When I'm patient, the end product will be really good :) just wait until 1 layer dry and put another layer and another until your lashes become super long hhehehehe

  20. I love tea! it keeps me hydrated but especially warms me up when I'm feeling a bit cold...I think being slightly low on iron (I take supplements) makes me colder more often. I hope to change that though my not forgetting about my iron supplements.
    I'm weary of magazine subscriptions and how they could automatically renew them - it's a good thing to check and that's nice that you got two free mags now! The orange dress looks very nice on Amanda Seyfried.
    And wow look at the Lush and Duwop gooodies you won :) Congratulations! I haven't tried any Duwop products but I know you were mentioning about their lip venom in a previous post.

  21. @Karen: I tend to drink tea not because I'm thirsty, but more because I want something warm and comforting. Sometimes, coffee just won't work! I also think I'm low on iron as I don't eat meat, but I only take supplements when I'm in my periods (interesting, eh? LOL) as I'm afraid to do an overdose or something. I still don't understand what happened with Fashion magazine...
