I could make a longer list of things I admire, however, I think these are such wonderful and rather unique items.

Awww, that has been such a sweet gesture.
The lipbalm is really lovely for moisturizing, while it is not too obtrusively overscented.
And I think her choice of stationary is absolutely brilliant. Marie Antoinette is such a iconic and contested figure (and beautiful too).
I hope that all my readers will have a brilliant sunday and a wonderful week.
I also bought the supergorgeous Jill Stuart Blush Fresh Apricot 06 from Jamilla Camel.
Jamilla is such and inspiring and fantastic blogger who always has the best features in her blog.
Let's not forget her generosity....wowza. She was soooo sweet of sending me all of this:
Then, I read the card inside, and it said something about me having "clearly good taste" and "accept these little gifts": Ok, that is big flattery and I am a sucker for flattery...bring it on, LOL (click the picture for the whole text on the card).
I also remembered one of cosmeticcandy's posts where she was having a free gift from Illamasqua as well. I thought she was so lucky and she must have ordered a million things from them before (she kind of ordered a couple of thingies...). Or she might have mentioned them having a blog...or such. I had only made two orders, and have not mentioned anything about writing about them on a blog (honestly...you guys probably think I am selling out, aren't you?).
Anyway, I love the gift, but I will stay unbiased as far as possible...if something does not work for me, or my type of skin, I will say so as well. On the other hand, it makes it easy falling in love with a company who send you freebies. I hope I can stay honest (LOL).
Back to business: I received a cream eyeshadow in Captivate. It can be described as a white colour with a grey cast: it looks like a cloud on a sunny day, somewhat ominous (with possible showers/rain inside). It is my first cream eyeshadow from them, so I am happy to look how it delivers, compared to MAC, Kose Esprique cream eyeshadows and other cream eyeshadows I have.
I also received my first Illamasqua powder blush in Beg. Beg looks really vivid in the pan, as a deep rose.
