Look what I got in the Mail - A care package!

This has been a fabulous month for post (and me)!

I woke up today to an unexpected parcel from my boyfriend!

I got this lovely letter:

He sent me biscuits:

And chocolates <3:

My first chocolate advent calendar!

And THIS gingerbread!:

He was worried that it would be stale by the time it reached me... I'm still going to eat it!

I have been absolutely spoilt!!!

Same Product, Different Scent - Masquerade! - Montagne Jeunesse - Cucumber Peel Off Mask

I honestly can't recommend this, there is something in it that makes my eyes sting.

Check This Out! - Drunk Orson Welles

I was put on to this by the guys of Blurry Photos. 
They continuously make references to it and I love it!

"Gnnnnaaaaaahhhhh!"

I sometimes refer to this to PU1 and she doesn't find it as amusing as I do... perhaps my Orson voice needs more practice XP

Like the finest French champagne, PU1 also doesn't laugh at my jokes.

* The only negative is (something very particular and personal to me) I find it hard to watch smart older men dull their minds with alcohol. Ever since young childhood I cannot stand seeing older men use alcohol as a coping mechanism. 
But I'm going to lie to myself and pretend this was filmed the morning after a raging NYE party.

What I got in the mail - Original Work by Pumpkin le Fay

This parcel arrived with this description:

The kite:

Guys, I'm dying! This is the cutest thing!!!! <3
I love all of the pieces by Pumpkin le Fay, and now I own one! :D

The Body Shop - Strawberry Hand Cream

For a long time I avoided anything strawberry from the Body Shop because my ex hated berry scents/flavours.

And yet he ate jam...

Now he is gone (dumped not dead) and I can enjoy the wonderful range!

This is a good hand cream with decent thickness. 
It absorbs quickly and smells SO GOOD!
It is jam-like strawberry, not a fake strawberry scent.
It is such a refreshing scent and could see it being amazing in summer!

Price: 4/5 ($6.95 for 30mL)
Scent: 5/5
Effectiveness: 5/5

Check This Out! - Miss Smut Buttons

I know, not the best move to promote a better blog on my blog, but I'm going to do it anyway!

A clever, considerate, and insightful blog about sex, society, and self.
It is also chock full of great pop culture references :D

If you want to read something well thought-out (that may even change some of your long held beliefs) check it out here!

I personally think a great place to start is the review of the We-Vibe sex toy, something I know I was curious about.

Maybelline New York - Hyper Diamonds - GN-1

This is a nice little eye shadow pallet, this particular of gold and green tones.

I shall call it the 'Loki' pallet!

The colours are quite good, medium intensity, blend pretty well, and they have a nice glitter/shimmer.

The shades aren't named, so I'll name them!

Swatches! Top to bottom:
1) Midnight Emeralds
2) Sunlight
3) Loki
4) Peridot
5) Sunshine

I like the lid of the container, its slight angular cut makes the clear lid nicer.
I think they were aiming for a 'faceted like a diamond'.

The only negative is the cr*ppy little applicator (a foam q-tip).

Price: 4/5 ($18.95 for 3.7g)
Scent: 2.5/5 (no scent)
Effectiveness: 4/5
