Everyday Minerals, Soaps, Lotion and Perfume :D
woah!! just received 2 packages in the mail this noon! The Everyday Minerals (EDM) Josh Flagg Collection and the soap + body lotion + roll on perfume from Tendigitcreations. Exciteeddd ^^
Note the beautiful wrapping. This collection consists of the 5 eye shadows, 1 pressed blush, 1 face powder, an eye kabuki Jr. brush and baby bamboo flat top brush. Also, I ordered the eye blending brush, a lipstick and eyeshadow (got 'em for free after I keyed in this promo code) and with each order, we can throw in a sample kit for free.
Now these.. are actually part of the birthday gift I'm giving to my dad :) He's a great fan of Sandalwood scent and I thought of collecting a bunch of sandalwood scented products for him. He used to use this soap that was manufactured in England and it had this STRONG but pleasant sandalwood scent, yea. It's discontinued. That's why I'm looking for other alternatives for him and I chanced upon Tendigitcreations owned by Amber and Ken. I ordered their Gardenia roll on perfume, Antique Sandalwood cold process soap and Antique Sandalwood body lotion. Well, obviously I haven't try the soap since it is meant as a gift so I'll wait for my dad to try it and give me his comments.
But one thing I noticed when I opened the package was the lack of sandalwood scent (the same thing that I noticed when I opened the other package from Sherri's Scents and Soys). With comparison to the soap that my dad used, I couldn't detect a hint of ANY scent when I opened them up unlike my dad's soap which when opened up, will have the room completely engulfed in sandalwood.
Anyway, I tried a wee bit of the body lotion and the roll on perfume :p The Antique Sandalwood Body Lotion is packed with Jojoba oil and Shea butter which helps make the skin extremely smooth and the scent was extremely soothing.. kinda like aromatherapy. To be frank, the sandalwood scent isn't very strong and sadly, it wasn't what I'm looking for (yes, I'm looking for one with an extremely strong sandalwood scent). But nonetheless, it smells really good too and I wouldn't mind repurchasing it again :) The following is the description of the scent taken from the site:
Antique Sandalwood - a woody, musky heart made from sustainably harvested sandalwood and cedarwood essential oils, softened with subtle notes of violet and jasmine
The Gardenia roll on perfume is actually a Spring/Summer collection and will only be available from March to August. I rolled on a wee bit on my wrist at 1pm, now its almost 6.30pm and it has faded off but if I put my nose really close up to my wrists, I can still smell a tinge of it. Guess the staying power is around 3 hours. I've always like the scent of Gardenia. There, the description:
Gardenia - a floral blend of gardenia and jasmine with a strong orange flavor bottom note
The two soaps at the bottom are what I ordered and the packet with 2 mini tubes of perfume and blue/green soap beside it are free gifts!! :D how sweet of Sherri from Sherri's Scents and Soys. Thank you! Look at her intricate packaging that even has a little sun charm. I'm so gonna use them on my hoop earrings. Lol! Uh.. I just realized I missed out the Ylang Ylang soap when I was I taking the photos. Will add in later!
I chose the Indonesian Teak soap and had her customized another glycerin soap in a straight sandalwood scent. The blue/green soap that she sent as a gift is also sandalwood scented but with a mix of Nag Champa and vanilla. I was quite disappointed when I was unable to detect any sandalwood scent which my dad agrees cos he had already tried the blue/green one. Anyway, I've contacted Sherri and hope she can help me out with this as I strongly believe that there must be something wrong since she has hundreds of wonderful feedback from her customers.
As for the two fragrance (Tiare Blossom and Bamboo) samples, I've not yet try them.

mixed feelings :D
yea i know i know i know.. I've probably a 101 different blog address. This was created out of extreme boredom while trying out example questions for my upcoming exams. rawrrrrrr!!
At least I'm pretty excited cos I got a super fantastic surprise when I woke up and open my inbox!!
Everyday Minerals emailed me to inform me that I've won Ballet Slippers, Lip Lock and Pink Flowers from the entry that I entered like.. almost a week ago? :) They give out really nice prizes every week Mon - Fri in their Fan Club so you should go try it out too. I was hoping to win something else from the Wed contest instead since I get a feeling that Ballet Slippers won't suit me (and I'll probably pass it on to someone else). Anyway, this is my first time entering plus I've never won anything from any contests or whatsoever and that pretty much explains why this truly made my day (amidst all the notes and textbooks that are drowning me).
And also, a little something to look forward to.. LOADS of goodies from Korea that I'm expecting my aunt iris to bring back for me from her trip! Hope she will manage to get hold of every single thing in my urber long shopping list. Have been trying out the tons of samples I got from Korea during my trip in December. They're really generous in giving out samples unlike most of the SAs here. So I tried out the highly raved Skinfood's Peach Sake Pore Serum, Lettuce & Cucumber Water Drop Essence samples and Etude's Precious Mineral BB Cream #2.
You can check out the Lettuce & Cucumber series here and the Peach Sake series here! So far the two samples that I tried gave me a rather good impression of the series so almost the entire of both series are included in the list. Will tell you why later~
ugh! ok. I guess it's back to the books. Meeting the girls later for a discussion (:
