Surprise package from Nikki!
The thing I love most about bloggging is the blogging community. It's very supportive and so much fun to be a part of! One of the lovely ladies I've had the pleasure of knowing is the lovely Nikki who I swapped with a while back. A few weeks ago she surprised me with a wonderful package filled with awesome polish and masks!! XD She also very sweetly included a few things for my sis too!
They were all so beautifully wrapped! I didn't want to open them and there were sooooo many of them I spent ages opening them all up!
SO many awesome Asian nail polishes! *squeals* These brands are hard to find even in HK let alone Sydney. I seriously have way too many polishes now LOL.
An army of Etude House. Check out the awesome matte bottles!
Nikki included her favourite Etude House nail polish remover and it smells WONDERFUL. Much better than Zoya Remove! Also some Etude House Dear Darling polishes.
More polishes including the amazing Elianto Racing Green which I'll be showing you tomorrow! The finishes on the polishes Nikki sent are all really interesting - shimmers, duochrome, matte - just the ones I love.
Nail art items!! I enjoy using the Nail Star Two Way Nail Art Pen & Brush and these colours are super fun.
Awesome masks including the Hello Kitty Sexy Look masks eeeeeeeeeek. I've wanted to try these for ages! Plus lipbalms from My Lip Stuff which my sis has laid claim to haha.
Some cute items from Malaysia! The keychain is of a traditional Kadazan dress which is of Nikki's race, hair clips that Nikki made and also cute mini ear caps =)
Thank you SO MUCH for your wonderful package Nikki!! You really shouldn't have spoiled me so ♥ I've been trying out a lot of the polishes and they are awesome!

March package love!
Hi ladies! Last month I received some lovely packages from 2 of my awesome blogger friends and it's about time I shared them with you! The first package was a wonderful (and very naughty!) surprise birthday package from my gorgeous British pal Aysh!! ♥
Not only did Aysh include a very sweet card and 2 packs of delicious Hotel Chocolat choccies (polished off very quickly by my family!) but yes you see right - she gifted me the amazing MAX Factor Fantasy Fire and also Meteorite!!!! *faints*
The 2nd package was from lovely Monika who sent me an awesome New Year/Chinese New Year package from sunny Singapore!
Nail polish!!!! Some fabulous polishes from Sasatinnie, Canmake, Etude House, Flormar, Disney Villians and my first Paul & Joe! Eeeeek! The Paul & Joe polish is from their Meow! collection and is sooooooo pretty. I had to use it the night I received Moni's package! I still haven't posted swatches though doh. Also a pretty purple Za lipstick and a Konad plate. It was all wrapped so nicely too =)
Moni also included some great skincare for me! The masks are too cute to use lol.
Thank you both SO MUCH for your wonderful packages =) It really brightened my month!

My blogger outing with Jennifer from life and lens of beauty
Hi ladies! I'm finally nearly all better from my cold so I've been able to head out and about for some shopping. I've hauled a bit of stuff in the last few days but today I had the pleasure of meeting up with the very lovely Jennifer from life and lens of beauty for some beauty shopping in Tsim Sha Tsui! She very kindly showed me around lots of awesome places for beauty items - most of the places I never would have known contained beauty items at such great prices!
Once again, please excuse the crappy photos while I'm in HK. The lighting at my grandparents place is very yellow and there isn't much room to take good photos so don't mind the piles of stuff in the background of my shots =p
Jennifer very generously gave me a gift of Lush shower gel in Snow Fairy. Thank you so very much Jennifer - it smells absolutely DIVINE! You really should not have =) I can't wait to try it out, I'm going to smell good enough to eat hehe.
I tried (not very hard HA!) to limit the damage to my wallet today by only purchasing a few things. I picked up my first NARS goodies today from Facesss!! WOOT! Thank you Jennifer for allowing me to use your members card ;) I had to get Orgasm blush and also Pokerface limited edition polish from their Holiday 2010 collection.
How darn beautiful is this lilac???!!!! It contains a beautiful silver shimmer through it. The price wasn't so nice (I hate having to pay more than $15 for a polish) but compared to Aussie prices it was OK.
I picked up Missha Perfect Cover BB Cream in 21 for a bargain price at a great hidden beauty shop that sold lots of great brands and products. I'm thinking I should have bought more from there!! I tried a sample of this back home but held off purchasing from the Aussie Missha store, I'm SO glad I did because it was a steal.
Very crappy photo sorry!
Some Skinfood polishes! i had a hard time choosing from the different colours, they were all so pretty! The pic below is not colour accurate though I'm afraid. The polish on the left is a gorgeous teal colour but it looks more blue here.
Jennifer highly recommended I try Laneige Water Sleeping Pack so I bought a small sample of it. I'll be trying it tonight!! On another note, I love all the sample size items you can buy in HK! Great way to test before you take the plunge with a full size product.
Jennifer and I were both curious about Vitacreme B 12 Regenerative Cream. We'd both read good things about it but had no experience with it so we got teeny tiny sample tubes to try! Can anyone enlighten us on the proper way of using it please..?? Thanks in advance!
I got some spare hair velcro clips. I have a fringe and these are fantastic for keeping hair off my face when getting ready.
Jennifer had to rush off for class so I went back to one of the stores to get some Golden Rose polishes. I take aaaaaaaaages choosing colours when faced with a tub full of choice so I didn't want Jennifer to have wait around for me! =p Since I started reading blogs and becoming more aware of the international brands out there, I am amazed at the range of international polish brands available in HK. I never expected to find Golden Rose polishes here!
I also purchased Lioele Triple Beyond Solution BB cream. The sales lady was very good in selling it! I've been making the transition to BB creams so I'm looking forward to road testing this. If not my sis can have it!
Thank you for a wonderful outing Jennifer! It was lovely meeting you! I wish we had more time to shop but there is always next year =) I will definitely be bringing you over some Aussie goodies to try next year!
Thank you for looking!

Swap with Nikki from .littlegreenheart.
Hi ladies! The last few days I've just been running out of time completely, I get to the end of the day and there's STILL so much to do >.< I haven't had a real chance to catch up on all your wonderful blogs but I will hopefully get to that =) On a good note, I received a lovely package in the post! The very sweet (and totally awesome!) Nikki from .littlegreenheart. emailed me a while back offering to do a polish swap with me. Of course I jumped at the chance!! Nikki lives in Malaysia and she offered to send me some hard to get polishes from Asian brands I have been dying to try .
Just look at all those beautiful polishes! Thank you SO much for the swap Nikki!! I've been admiring Elianto polishes for so long and now I can try them! I couldn't have picked the colours better myself =) And so beautifully wrapped too but I didn't photograph it because I was too excited and just ripped into the package!
Here's what she included:
In2it polishes in yumgum and jellibean. Totally digging the names of these, and the colours of course!
Elianto Colour polishes in Glitter Shine Red, Thistle and Turqoise. I saw Thistle and Turqoise on Nikki's blog and just lusted after them =) Thanks for crossing them off my list!
Elianto Sparkling Diva polishes in Alice Blue, Lilac and Shimmer Pink. Words cannot describe how gorgeous these are! The bottles are soooo darn pretty and the shimmer and colours are just lemming-worthy.
SkinFood Jojoba Pure Nail polishes in Coral Pink and I think the other is Apricot Gold. As you probably know I'm a sucker for cute bottles! These are no exception =p And the tops of these are made out of cardboard - so funky!
Nikki also very kindly included a handmade bracelet made by the Rungus tribe of Kudat, Sabah. I love beaded bracelets and the combination of colours on the bracelet is so funky =)
Excuse the very dry hand =(
I did a very quick mani using Elianto Sparkling Diva in Shimmering Pink. It is every bit as stunning on the nail as it is in the bottle!!
Shimmering Pink is a light pink loaded with silver shimmer. It's just such a pretty colour =) It glided onto the nail and the brush is awesome - no cleanup needed = BIG yay from me. It is kind of sheer though and you'd need 3 coats to get rid of VNL. Below is 2 coats so you can still see some VNL but I was impatient so didn't do another, however drying time was very quick so 3 coats wouldn't be an issue. Then I just quickly added some nail stickers that my workmate kindly gave me.
I bruised my index finger so please excuse the mark =(
Once again thank you SO much Nikki!! I'm dying to try all the colours out =) Please check our Nikki's blog .littlegreenheart.! She does fantastic manicures and I envy her ability to pull off bright, fun colours so well!
Thanks for looking!
