He Comes Bearing Gifts
I did say that baby bro just got back from his US business trip, yes? Well, after handing over the Coach Handbag, he then rummaged through his luggage again and produced a white shipper box. Stuff from my contacts in the US! They’ve finally reached me. LOL.
I remember exchanging emails with the folks from The Body Shop (US) since they wanted me to review their Mineral Makeup line, Nature’s Minerals. They let me pick out my preferred shade for the Mineral Foundation (02 with SPF 25), Cheek Colour (Golden Terracota Nuance Blush), and Eye Colour (Golden Emerald). Full review to follow.
I have to admit that I’m still looking through my emails to locate the folks who sent me this one. Its packaging is actually interesting, the Face Cream (seen below) is attached to the Face Wash.
It claims to be 100% Natural. Well, we’ll see what this combo can do. Full review to follow.
If my skin reacts to the product above, I have this one as part of the contingency plan. LOL. Again, I might seek my friend’s help on this one. She might provide more input as she uses it. I’ll let you guys know as soon as I’ve collated all notes in.
These buggers are the most colourful things in the box. Feels like it’s a year’s (or more) worth of breath spray! LMAO. I’ll tell you folks more about them on a later post.
Now, look at this one. Anti-aging perfume? That’s a first. Will do a bit of reading on this one and will tell you more about it on a later post. Hehe.
Hahaha! I’ve been looking for them washable hair streakers but I didn’t expect that someone will send me one in hot pink. LMAO. Let’s see how I can make this work. Otherwise, it’ll be up for grabs.
Lastly, another perfume added to my growing collection. I have a feeling that I’ll like wearing this scent. Check out the notes: Incense, Rice, Frangipani flower, Amber, Patchouli, Benzoin, and Vanilla. More on it later when I post the full review.
I’m glad my baby bro made room for these things in his luggage. They may not be his gifts, they’re gifts which he brought, nonetheless. Didn’t make me less grateful. Thanks, teddy bear! Hahaha!

Cool. I’ll work on it as soon as I can.
