Wow how sweet of her~~ Now if I lived FAR away from my parents, I'd be receiving more packages wouldn't I?! :p
Wow, your mom is awesome! She's boycotting MAC? Thanks for answering my question--that definitely makes sense about the shipping and all that.
Thanks for the list! I'm surprised at Boots being on there. Never thought of it being a natural brand!
Aw how sweet of your mom! Hahha she is like my mom, loves makeup!
Thanks for the list! I really need to check some of my stuff!
Ohh how sweet!
What a lucky girl you are.
It was chilly at first but once you actually swim it wasn't so bad.
I wanna go back!
how sweet of your mom :)
have fun playing with your new toys! can't wait to see them on you :D
how sweet is your mama to spoil her lovely daughter with things from home... and what nice things they are -- and i love that she included tea, i must try that tea -- Im a huge fan of drinking teas.
and thanks for the safe list, very interesting!!!
I miss you!! please email me on makemeshiney@gmail.com. YOu have to come to my private blog - you are my skincare queenie!
Pretty stuff you've got there! Can't wait to see the looks you do with those!
thank you for the infos on the products that got less than 5 toxicity level. thank goodness the products i use they are considered safe. i dont even use red lipstick so im on the safe side :)
Ohhh, your mum is such a sweetheart. Have fun with your haul!
Mmm yes those lipliners are very smart colors.
I'd like to see your review on the cream color, I've never used anything as such.
So, what are the benefits of ginger tea? I drink rooibos whenever I can - or am in the mood for it. It's a mixed tea of sorts, I'm not expert, but it has rose petals, blue cornflower petals, apples, cinnamon, cardamom, etc etc... and it's very smooth.
nice haul :)
That's so sweet that your mom sent you a "care package". Did you request these certain items? or did she buy them out on her own?
