*cookiie; can you guess what it is?

Yes, we finally got them brushes! Thank you Kristie/kuri♥ayu so SO much for taking so much trouble for us to send them.


Call me weird, but I was basically spazzing when I saw this package and read "Brushes" on the description. xD


The brushes, still packed and sealed. I've got to say it was quite hard to take off the plastic wrap around it, but at least that means it was nicely protected. ♥


My brush set free! It is sooo soft and fluffy (Deja vu, anyone? Haha..).
I already used it once and so far I'm loving it (We will do a review for it later ^^). Kristie was so sweet that she also gave us a few samples, because we didn't get any from our order. We had to order through Amazon.com, because Sephora's website didn't accept international orders at all (even though when it's sent to someone in the States). :(

Just to let you guys know, I'm not sure if I'll be updating for these coming 2 weeks. I'll be having exams and I need to turn in some essays too. But! When I'm back, I'll be posting part 2 of my big haul and I think I will finally do some review posts again.
—And oh yeah, Happy Halloween !!! ♥

PS: Blovet Beauty is having her 100th followers (congratulations~) giveaway at the moment. She's spoiling her followers with a lot of nice items, so check it out if you're interested. ^^

*cookiie; A question & giveaways

Even though it's not the most famous brush out there, the Professionnel Platinum Air Brush #55 is still quite known for its great quality. Both me and Milk have been desperately looking for it for quite a while, but with no luck. We can't order it through the website because they don't ship it to Holland and basically no one else that does ship to here sells it.

So what about regular stores? We have looked in about 3-4 Sephora "stores" (they are more like corners in a bigger and known store here) in Holland and none of them sell this brush. I also asked my brothers (and their girlfriends) to look for me when they went on vacation to Spain and France, but not even the shop assistants knew about this brush. So I was just wondering, is it only available in the U.S. and Canada? Or do you know a place where to order it?

And now some giveaways!

This picture was taken around May 2006 at the famous Keukenhof Gardens here in the Netherlands. Not the best picture ever, but at that time I was already really proud of it even though it was taken with a little 5.0 megapixel camera.

Cookiie and I are both quite into photography and we would go visit Keukenhof with our friends nearly every year. I didn't go this year, but hopefully I will be able to visit Keukenhof once again next year (with a SLR camera * prays *).

Wahh, so ~ sparkling ~! Haha, I took this picture during New Year’s Eve when it just turned 12 am and the fireworks just went crazy in the air. Not the best picture out of the bunch, but this was my first time making pictures of fireworks. Not much to say about this picture, it’s so boring ~

Shop N' Chomp Giveaway!
