Le Petite Jewelry + DHC Mini Haul

I ordered a necklace from Le Petite Jewelry recently. Mona makes everything herself. You should check out her site, she has many gorgeous items!

I have 2 girlfriends whose birthdays are coming soon so I took this chance to customize something for them. :) Of course the one in the middle is mine!! Sorry the picture is kinda blurry but I absolutely love it!! It is so hard for me to find jewelry with my initial.

I wore it to work. The purple scrub is my uniform.

I took advantage of the Free Shipping Code that Shop N' Chomp had posted last week. I placed an order for my favorite hand cream and a foundation that Amy recently did a review for. I have not ordered with DHC for over a year but they still gave me a loyalty discount and now I'm back up to Level 5!! Haha....They are tempting me to purchase more... Yes, I'm greedy. I ordered last Friday and it arrived yesterday! One word: FAST!

Olive Hand Cream x4, Q10 Cream Foundation in Yellow Ocher 02 x3, and some samples. I'm contemplating ordering some more hand creams and foundation... :) If anyone is interested, check out the promo code here (expires Oct 12th).

I was looking through the DHC catalog and found this kinda useful because sometimes I forget what each does...

My free EOS Organic Lip Balm arrived! I think I got it in Sweet Mint.

Thanks all for today!!

Review: La Mer Lip Balm

Buy it here for $45.

I could not find the exact ingredients on the box or on the pamplet but it does state that "there is nothing miraculous about its ingredients-- a blend of sea kelp, vitamins, minerals plus oils of citrus, eucalyptus, wheat germ, alfalfa, and sunflower. But the way those ingredients journeyed through a 3-4 month bio-fermentation process made all the difference between a good moisturizer and a small miracle."

My Thoughts:

This lip balm is the best that I have ever used. All the other lip products (Vaseline, Burt's Bee, MAC Lip Conditioner, Beautymaker Princess Repairing Lip Balm, etc) that I have used before only left a layer of protection to prevent water loss. It took days to see results. This lip balm does leave a layer of protection just like the others however, it softened and relieved the dryness that I was experiencing this past week with the 1st application. Also, one application lasted me for hours. Another thing I love about this product it it is minty which is refreshing to me. I love minty lip products!!

Overall, I am in love with this product. It is kind of pricey but it is definitely worth it! My only problem now is that now that I have tried this amazing lip balm, will I be able to go back and use my older lip balms? :)

I will not hesitate if I have to buy this again.

Rating: 5/5

Another important thing to mention is that Shanghainese Dumpling (Ena) is hosting her 1st blog giveway!! Check out her blog for her amazing skincare tips!!

Mini Hauls

So before I left for my parents house last Friday, I placed an order for Nars and La Mer. (Shop N' Chomp had posted a 20% off coupon code.) The shipping is really fast! The La Mer package arrived Wed and the Nars on Thurs. These are my first product for both brands and all I can say is I love love love love love it!!!!

Nars Blush in Orgasm and Lip Gloss in Orgasm

Orgasm Blush

Pretty peachy pink!! PPP? :) I love!!

I ordered the Lip Balm because of Fuzkittie. :)

Free Samples L-R: Creme De La Mer, The Refining Facial, and The Radiant Infusion.

The Lip Balm (.32 oz/9 g )

I was browsing through a magazine and this pair of Coach flat caught my attention. It looks so pretty!!

But when I went to Coach, I was disappointed because of the heel. I really like the way the front looks though... Can't decide if I really want it or not...

Trina Ballet Flat $168

Alexdandria Heel $178

I want this!!

Maressa Boot $198

Should I get this or a pair of Uggs?

Cambridge Zip Top Tote $ 698

I want this in Black but does it look too school bag-ish? I like that it has 2 diff types of straps.
