Singapore: Blogger Meetups and Love Packs!

Oh gosh, where to start? Hello everyone! Remember me? I know, its been exactly one month since my last post, as I said, my real life (work & family) has taken over, leaving me without time for blogging. But last week I went on a holiday trip to Singapore and planned some meet-ups with the sweetest bloggers residing in the Lion City. :)

blogger babes closing down Ngee Ann City Sephora! so much fun shopping with these ladies. :D

with the lovely Elaine aka misselainnio. <3

with cutie Cynthia aka slowbrogal. <3

I received so many gifts that I didn't feel the urge to shop, especially for sheet masks because they gave me a pretty vast selection! But haul fiends need not to worry, I still bought some interesting bits to show you later. Right now I just want to thank Lynn, Elaine, Cynthia, Joolyn, Luna and Jolyn for the wonderful time! Until our next shopping and dining rendezvous!

Gifted Goods

I recently received some love packs and gifts from blogger friends and like always, I want to document them by sharing them in posts. First package is from my dear friend Karen of CFbeauty. She only included cruelty-free cosmetics for me which I find very thoughtful and sweet :)

The Urban Decay shadows are all very interesting as bright matte shadows and loose pigments are both very new to me, its so exciting! She also picked up a Missha Perfect Cover BB cream for me which matches my skin tone beautifully! You are gifted Karen! *hugs*

I also have a group photo of my gifts from Jennifer of Lifeandlensofbeauty.

J didn't know I liked the FaceQ masks, so I was surprised she gifted me a couple of my favorite variants. The Soap & Glory day moisturizer is intriguing as I haven't tried anything from the brand although I've seen their counters in Hong Kong. I have so much new stuff to try, I think I'll use the LUSH Aqua Marina cleanser tonight! :)

So, am I spoiled or what? I love my blogger babes! You gals are the best!

♡,

Love Bombed.

When I started blogging, my thoughts were fueled by my growing interest in beauty, cosmetics and the passion to share my experience with others who breathed the same air. I never really thought about developing friendships across the seas. Now, I can honestly say I have met some of the sweetest ladies in the beauty blogging world! OK before I get any more emo, this post is about the 2 packages I received this week courtesy of lovely tweetheart Lynn and Blogger beauty Kat! 

I asked Lynn to help me purchase some Silk Whitia Moisturizing + Whitening Masks (my favorite ones) and she sent me more gifts than the actual items asked her to CP!

Sheet masks galore! Do you spot the Coldstone Ice cream mask? been wanting to try that forever! *squeals* I wish you can hear my squeal in Singapore Lynn! hahaha! <3

Lynn also sent me an advanced birthday gift!

fresh from Hawaii, another love pack from Kat!

Kat is so accommodating, she helped me purchase the Urban Decay 15th Anniversary 24/7 set from the UD site. Plus she sent me gifts as well! MBD masks, a Sonia Kashuk brush, Wet 'n Wild palette, a really cute and lightweight mirror and the cutest lip pots from NYX! I cant wait to play around with them, will take some nicer photos this weekend. :)

THANK YOU Lynn and Kat! I am truly in awe with all the love you make me feel.

Giveaway Loot from Mai-Kat Oshaberi!

Call me lucky G, 'cause I won Kat's Giveaway! I was so happy to see her package waiting for me when I got home. Aloha, goodies from Hawaii!

Kat sent me the fuschia Charlotte Russe Shrug which fits me like a glove! I'll definitely wear it over a dress when the weather gets cool and breezy. She also added a super kawaii diary case as a surprise gift!

Thank you, mummy Kat for your generosity.

♡,

Love Pack from Kat! :)

Just in time for Valentine's... Look what I got in the mail yesterday! From Hawaii, with love. Lots of it. :)

I literally gasped in excitement when I saw the Urban Decay Primer Potions, Kat aka galpalhi of Maikatoshaberi.blogspot.com knew I wanted to try those for so long. She also gifted me with a Dior eyeshadow single in a truly gorgeous shade and a couple of Philosophy lip glosses which smell amazing! The Body Shop's Shea body butter is very rich, im gonna use it to moisturize my rough spots (elbows, knees, heels) since the summer season is here and it will be too much for an all-over body moisturizer. The Quik Wipes are quite handy, just wet with water and the tablets become hand towels! I can't wait to show it as magic to my niece and kid cousin! :P

and... 

As if that love pack wasn't enough, Kat told me (yesterday) that I won her Charlotte Russe Cashmere Sweater giveaway! Oh the luck I have been bestowed with! :)

I can never be thankful enough to have been blessed with wonderful, sweet and thoughtful friends here on Blogger. ♥

Mahalo Kat!

Love Pack from Stellar!

Imagine me fighting a flu then suddenly lighting up like a bulb when I saw this sitting on my table... Yay! A love pack from my sweet and sexy blogger babe Stellar all the way from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia! 

Gingy making an appearance to ward off evil stalkers! :P

What's inside? a cute kitty note,

Rilakkuma phone zip pouch

a CARGO lip gloss and a TFS eyeshadow duo!

I see these two will work well together ;)

You really didn't have to send me anything babe, as I enjoyed every minute of shopping for your Lanvin x H&M dress! But THANK YOU ever so much for your kindness and generosity! ^_^

lots of l♡ve,

G

Updates + Something CUTE :)

Hello lovelies! I can't believe its Thursday already. Sorry for the lack of posts recently, I got addicted to Plants VS Zombies that's why my blogging time has been diverted into playtime. XD I already defeated Dr. Zomboss, but I'm still unlocking some mini games so i'm not done playing just yet. muahahaha >:) 

You know how I'm backlogged with posts (hauls, reviews, events, etc.) so I decided I'm going to be productive as a blogger today. :P

Last September (->you see how backlogged I am?!), I received a surprise package from the mail, it was from my cousin, Ate (means a senior female in Filipino/Tagalog) Chie, as you can see, she has talent for making presents look like ART. Awesome gift wrapping skills don't you think? I couldn't touch it for a while as I didn't want to ruin the pretty present!

Love Pack from Lulu!

I'm so awesomely blessed with the sweetest blogger friends! Gifts or no gifts, you gals (and guys) definitely make my life so much pleasant and pleasurable right now, I check my blog email first thing (almost always) every morning because your sweet messages and comments really make me smile (or giggle or even laugh sometimes), I think everyone should start their day with a genuine smile. It makes you appreciate life better even if you know your day is going to be crazy. :)

ANYWAY, thank you for reading through my rambling there. This post is dedicated to my sweet friend Lulu of Luluchinadoll! If you have been following my blog, Lulu won my very first giveaway titled "Coffretgorge's Birthday Giveaway" back in July. After sending her prize, I didn't know I was up for a surprise! (wow, that rhymed. LOL)

Lulu's love pack aka birthday presentS...

all the way from sunny California!

A Bountiful Box of LE Kitkats from Kay! *pic heavy*

 Happy Monday everyone! My first contest/giveaway prize from Kay arrived today! I was so surprised when I saw it, because after waiting for a while, Kay and I thought it was never going to arrive. So without further adieu, MY BIG BOX OF LE KITKATS (and more!) FROM KAY of COSMEDDICTED!!! I hope I don't give you a toothache after this post. :P
