Lazy Day Monday: Contest and Giveaway Goodies!

Hey guys! It's the start of the week and monday is always a slump day for me. Despite that I am psyched as heck because of a few happy incidents in my life lol (other school-related matters and work matters aren't as happy by comparison, but you win some and you lose some.

Last month I entered a makeup contest and I found out a week ago that I had won second prize!! I'm rather proud of myself because I rarely do outrageous makeup looks and the one mildly colorful EOTD I tried actually got some recognition :) I am thus now the owner of this awesome lot of goodies courtesy of Celline  from Product Arena and her many generous sponsors.

I'm honestly at a loss for words. I have never seen this many makeup products all in one package :P I tend to purchase things little by little so having been sent this in a huge parcel sort of made my heart skip a beat hahaha. Will you guys judge me if I say I dived in for the Carmex lipbalm the moment I saw it? That box is actually empty in the picture because I've made Carmex my daily lipbalm for the dry lip-chapping weather lately hahaha.

Another hidden treasure in this haul would probably be my first ever non-prescription contact lenses ever, courtesy of Dull to Doll. I've been wearing contacts for ages, but never really as a fashion statement. Winning this was a pleasant surprise, because for once I get to see what all the fuss is about these contact lenses. I'll dedicate an entire post to my virgin experience later LOL. There are a whole lot more awesome finds and tries in this package, and I might have to go through them all in stride, maybe make a few short posts on them if I'm not lazy hahaha.

That aside, what really made my day was a package that came all the way from the U.S.A. from a good friend of mine, Amanda of http://riceysupreme.blogspot.com/. You might remember her from some posts back when I was pimping out her giveaway. I entered the giveaway but never really expected to win, considering  how many people had entered but to both her and my surprise, I had won.

Amdanda is such a sweet girl and an awesome blogger. She even has her own youtube channel! So if you'd like, you could follow her blog and even subscribe to her youtube channel! She does awesome reviews on both Korean and U.S. brands, as well as makeup tutorials and comparison vids. Something I only wish I could do hahaha.

Amanda sent me a short note with the prizes, something not all bloggers who hold giveaways do. Might I just say how absolutely thrilled I am at receiving this prize? The nail polishes are just perfect for a Feb NOTD if I ever get a chance to do one (I hope I do). Though the package was delayed a few days (ugh, Philippine Customs is horrid), it just made it all the more meaningful and exciting to open. I actually opened it in front of friends (who aren't as obsessed with beauty products as I am) so I looked like a giddy freak bouncing in my seat admiring all the shiny new makeup x_x For shame.

Sigh, tiny things really do make you feel better, especially at the start of a week that will no doubt be hell hahaha. Thanks Celline and Amanda! You guys have made me one happy blogger.

Also, because I have nothing else to say and I found this lying around in my files -- here, have a funny face gif of me. I need to get a life x_x

Ada, signing out.
