You've Got Mail! &-Quick Update-

Well, I have, I don't know about you! Indeed, it's that time again where I show you the goodies I receive in the mail. Usually what I've bought off of eBay! I've been away the past three days, only to come home to two lovely packages! Let's see what's inside.

*update at the bottom of this post*



Ooh, it's a big package this time! I couldn't for the life of me remember what I'd ordered so it was a lovely surprise for me! 


First up is one of those pens that you can use on a touch screen. I've already got one but I ordered this one for my little cousin and her Blackberry Playbook. I hope she likes it!

Bought from eBay for 99p with free P+P.



Next up was a little Hello Kitty bag I won in an auction on eBay. Only a little trinket. I'll probably use it for make up or toiletries. It's rather cute!

Bought from eBay also, for £2.90. 

Not bad for a few quid. I might do another eBay raid and get some cheap little goodies again soon! It also means more mail for me, and I love getting mail.

-------------------------------------------

QUICK UPDATE.

Just a note to let you all know that I should be moving house in the next two to three weeks. So please forgive me for my lack of posting and internet habits in general. I've got a lot of stuff to be doing (I should probably start packing right now) but I haven't even gotten round to it yet. I've got a busy two weeks ahead of me!

I'll still be active on Twitter if you want to contact me or just keep up with my days. If you haven't already, add me on Twitter @taylalatbh.

See you around, my friends.

Mail Call!

Indeed it's that time again for this weeks' Mail Call. Let's start off with the first package.


Small package firstly. Let's see what's inside.


You can't tell really, but these are a cute little pair of earrings I stumbled upon on eBay. Bought for a nice 99p.


Here they are, well one of them, on. Pretty!


Next package, oooh!


It's a Rilakkuma cord holder.


It's a reasonable size, fits in my hand and its rubbery. Another 99p from eBay.


Keeping my headphones tied up nice!


Last package now, quite a biggy!


Here we have three key holders.


Rilakkuma, my favourite!


Kiiroitori.


Shappo, too.

It's a shame I don't have three keys to use these all at the same time, but I can alternate! These were £1.98 on eBay. I love eBay :D

That's all from this weeks Mail Call. Have you bought anything online recently?

I won, I won!

At the start of April I entered a prize draw on Garnier’s Facebook page for a chance to win one of 1000 UltraLift anti-wrinkle 2in1 serum + creams. I was emailed on the 10th of April and was told that I was one of those lucky winners!

Now I know what you’re probably thinking, I’m not really old enough to be using an anti-wrinkle cream, and you’re right, I’m not. But I couldn’t miss out on the chance of winning a freebie!

This isn’t my first time dealing with Garnier and posting out products. Recently I signed up for a sample of their new BB Cream. The delivery times and packaging were fantastic. I enjoyed my sample so much that I’ve bought a whole squeezy tube of it.

So onto the main point! I came home today to see a pretty red parcel just waiting there for me to open. I buy many things from online so I’m used to a package every now and then, but I couldn’t for the life of me work out what was in this one. I buy so much online that I forget what I should be expecting.

  
Nicely wrapped! It wasn’t like ordinary packaging so I was excited to see what was inside. 



I was welcomed by this nice note and very nicely wrapped product.


Very lovely message.


Nice packaging for the product too, and look at the cream inside the tube! All swirly.

I probably won’t be using this cream myself as I’m not quite sure what it would do to my un-wrinkly skin but I will be offering up the product to my mother and hopefully getting her reviews back.

All in all, I’m very happy with Garnier as a company. Their products are lovely and the fact that they give away some freebies is just top-notch. I look forward to seeing what other samples and prize draws pop up on their Facebook page and hopefully deal with them again.

For more information on Garnier and how to sign up for free samples and prize draws you can visit their Facebook page.


If you’re not on Facebook, they have a website, too. www.garnier.co.uk

Until next time.

Mail Call!

Ooh, let's see what's come in the mail this week!

Let's start with the first package.


 Oooohh!



Nail Art Brushes! I bought these off ebay for £1.99 and free postage. They took a little while to arrive, but that's what you get when you pay so little. It wasn't too bad a wait, though! A separate post to come with a close up of the brushes.

Next package!


Now, there's two things in here! I wasn't expecting it but there was, must have been the same buyer and I didn't realise.


The first is a two finger ring with five hearts across the front. I don't have a close up of it because it was a gift for my cousins 14th birthday. She really liked it though!


 
Next up is a hair grip with velcro across the back so there's no clip marks in your hair!
 

And it's a really cute bow! This was only £1.00 on Ebay too. 

Not a fancy post today. I haven't had time to do anything the past week, so I'm sorry for that! 

More posts soon! x

Busy Busy Weekend!

This weekend has been exhausting! I was up until 5AM for two nights in a row and I'm shattered, hoping to get my sleeping pattern back on track in the next few days.



This was the weekend of the WrestleMania PPV, my first. And it was awesome! I had a really good time but it was so tiring being up all night. A big gang of us went out for dinner first which was lovely, then we came back to...



WrestleMania cake! This was the most chocolatey cake ever, it was so, so good. Hopefully it'll become a PPV tradition.



This was my WrestleMania day outfit. Supporting CM Punk with his 'In Punk We Trust' shirt, saved to wear for that day and my light green leopard print jeans. (excuse the awful image!)

Here's my usual 'picture of a cat'!



Meet Tilly. She's lovely.



On my weekend travels I came across this little guy in the bakery shop. He was so big! I should have gotten one. Nommy.

Mail Call!



I picked this up and I just couldn't work out what it was! I shook it, and it rattled! I've forgotten all what I've ordered over the past few weeks so I had no idea.



But it was gems! It finally clicked when I got the package open (obviously!) but I'm very pleased to have gotten this package. I can now start on some better nail art with some shiny little gems!



These were bought off eBay for £1.54. It's claimed that there's 3000 pieces in their, but I'm skeptical. Either way, really good price for what it is! Colour wise we have: Light pink, white/clear, orange, light green, lilac, red, purple, blue, pink, yellow, green and light blue.



This is the size of them, very tiny!

Good selection of colours and they're about 2mm diameter so quite small and really good for nail art. I can't wait to get started on my nails! I think I might get some larger ones to start some decoden.

I should be getting more substantial blog posts together soon, make this more worth reading!

Until next time.
