Here are a couple of products that I own and love, that Apothica.Com sells.

Clinique Touch Base for eyes
This is an eyeshadow primer and it is ONLY $14.00 ♥ It works really well too, keeps your eyeshadow long lasting, in place, and makes the color pop! Comes in different shades.

Clinique Post Blemish
Wanna get rid of those acne scars? Why don’t you try Clinique’s Post Blemish formula? :) It worked for me and it might for you too ♥ And it’s ONLY $13.50! (I started seeing results within a week! I really do like this stuff and recommends it! -Though I’ve heard from others that it didn’t work for them… but you never know. It could for you. :) Also, keep in mind that I never really have “acne.” I only get pimples here and there.. nothing major. So that probably plays a big part too. People’s skin are different. ♥ But it wouldn’t hurt to try hehe.)

Hi loves!
So I just want to let you all know that I’m gonna have having 3 Holiday Giveaways! Two of them will be sponsored and one will be coming out of my own pocket ♥ The first Holiday Giveaway will be up on November 26th, 10am EST and will end December 10th, 11:59pm EST. Second & Third Holiday Giveaway will both be on December 11th to December 20th (They’re both gonna be on the same time for one will be on my Blog & FB and the other is on YouTube ♥ ^-^ Let me know what you guys think of this hehe

Of course, prizes are beauty related & jewelry.
I’ve already started shopping for you guys.. but if you have any suggestions (under $25) let me know ♥ and I will for sure consider. Oh and I forgot to say that only 2 of my giveaways will be International; the one that is not sponsored will be for US only -sorry guys but I’m not made of $$$ :( Hopefully next time it’ll be International.
Alright, that’s pretty much it..

OHHH! And for the one that I’m sponsoring by myself.. I was wondering of actually doing it as a contest instead of a giveaway. I’m thinking about you guys sending me video responses on some Holiday looks that YOU have created (could be a tutorial or a picture slideshow) OR showing me what you are WEARING for Christmas or New Years ;) hehe (fashion video). Let me know what you guys think ;)

Alright, I gotta get going ♥ xoxo

Thank you so much Kiwiberry1′s Collection for sending me these products to review ♥ I am very satisfied with your services and with the products. Thank you so much and hope to work with you guys again in the future.

~ Hello Kitty Travel Kit ~

Diamond Series in Brown ~ $20.00
- Color: Brown
- Diameter: 14.5 mm
- Base: 8.6
- Water Content: 38%
My thoughts: Very natural. These are my fave out of the three. Really comfortable in my eyes (doesn’t dry my eyes out as fast as others do). Also makes my eyes bigger ♥ I love these. I wear these ones pretty much everyday :D
Overall Rating: 5/5

G&G Super Nudy Pink ~ $20.00
- Color: Pink
- Diameter: 14.5mm
- Base: 8.6
- Water Content: 38%
My thoughts: Pretty opaque. Does make my eyes look bigger. One problem with this is, for some reason, it is not comfortable in my eyes (especially once you put them in, it feels like something is stabbing my eyes). And it dries out my eyes fast :( It has the same Water Content as the brown ones…but I don’t know :( –On the bright side, this color is really pretty. It also kinda look like “purple” in pictures ♥ And doesn’t look as fake in person.
Overall Rating: 3.5/5

EOS WM-202 Blue ~ $20.00
- Color: Blue
- Diameter: 14.8mm
- Base: 8.6-8.8
- Water Content: 38%
My thoughts: Natural in person, pretty comfortable. Doesn’t really make my eyes look bigger but the color pay off is a thumbs up! ♥ I really really like this color, for it is not too light/bright. It looks natural in person and in pictures! I love it.
Overall Rating: 4.5/5

xoxo
