My First Blog Award!!

First of all, thank you to Nic (at Anything-Floral) who tagged me for this "I think you are an awesome girl" award :D


And for me to be eligible to receive this, I have to give you 10 random facts about me ^_~

Now, I actually have a video on this already, which you can watch below :P



But its been a long time since then and there are more than just 10 random facts about me so here's another 10!!

1. All the pet names I have for my electronics end in 'ly' ~ Molly (my trusty Dell laptop), Jelly (my cute LG Cookie mobile phone) etc! (I actually don't have one for my camera since there is no reason to name it...)

2. I love the shape of butterflies!! (hence my blog background) I think they are just so pretty! I have so many butterfly things in my room, (countless earrings decorations, pictures, paintings) and they're at their most beautiful when you see them IRL flying around you :)

3. (is the magic number :P) In my parents house, we have 4 fish tanks and a pond!! We have so many fishes XD My parents have owned fish since before I was born! And when we moved house, we moved our fish with us and my dad had to build the pond for them. However, in the end they died from chemical poisoning from these stones (which had been treated to make them white) in the water fountain. :( Sad times...

4. Even though in Cantonese Chinese, it means death, 4 is my favourite number! I love the shape of it and they ways it can be written... wow I sound so excited over a number XD

5. One of my favourite movies is Mary Poppins! (But I didn't enjoy the musical as much...)

6. I think Michael McIntyre's humour is HILARIOUS!! I'm always up for a good laugh and this guy seriously gets me everytime! (I also love panel shows ~ Mock The Week, QI, Would I Lie To You?)

7. I can't take food with any spice in it! I'm pretty fussy too... here are some things I don't eat ~ curry, pepper, mushrooms, beef (except in a really good lasagne), chilli, peppers, asparagus, leeks, garlic, ginger, prawns if they have heads on them...

8. I watched Mean Girls 8 times in a row once. I was on a plane to Malaysia I believe and the journey is super long! They didn't have anything else I wanted to watch so I just let it repeat over and over... They had to change some of the words for any younger flyers watching, so "witch" was popular :P I can now almost quote everything from the movie!!

9. I have a very sweet tooth. I think the Caramel Hot Cholocate at Starbucks isn't sweet enough. I can't taste any caramel and once I put in an extra three brown sugars... Whenever I order a Caramel Creme Frappucino, I always have to ask for extra caramel :P

10. I wish I had better sense of style and fashion... (I don't think this is actually a fact... ermmm I can't think of anything else that interesting... ermmm I have a collection of origami paper stars?)

And, as promised, here are the swatches for the MAC Graphic Garden 6 Eye Shadow Palette in Graphic Garden.

(oops... sorry about the shadow in the bottom left corner >.<)

I have to say though, these pictures really do not give the divine colours enough justice!! They are nicely pigmented and a sheen is seen with almost an iridescence to the shades!


But today's star is not the eye shadows themselves, but the cutest little 213SE brush that comes with the palette!!

It picks up colour like nobody's business and I looooooove this!! And just to give you all an idea of the tiny size, here it is next to my little fingernail :)

Teeny tiny!!! And SO adorableee!!

And with that note, I shall bid you all farewell and be on my merry way to dreamland ^^ (well not just yet but I could fall asleep right now... zzzZzZzzzzZZZzZZzZzzz)

Actually, just before I go, I thought I'd let you know about another The Body Shop code for free delivery on anything (only valid this weekend) FREE_DEL9

Love love and awardlove!
