My picks for Sephora.com and updates (3/5)

Hi all! It's a relief that I'm finally back after such a long break from blogging. Well, it isn't exactly a break, I was really busy with my schoolwork and practice that eventually put off the time to blog. (Yeah, I'm that busy!) Just a short update about what I have been doing for the past few months and my picks for Sephora.com.

Updates:
1. Met up with my friend, Joey, and brought her to the Korean shop near my school! She passed me a bag of goodies which she've CP-ed from BKK for me; ZOMG, thanks a lot!

 2. Have been busy with assignments, deadlines and tests for these few months~

3. Had a swap with Dominque from US as part of a Valentine's Day event. I've got to try out all that she have in store for me- NYX stick blushers, NYX lip creme, ELF and Wet&Wild products. Really have to thank her for the parcel! (Click here to see what I've got for her)

4. My mini haul from Watsons- all Garnier Whitening masks! Heard that they're highly raved in Niu Er's book. I've got Sexylook's Hello Kitty Masks too~

5. Met Madelyn Michiyo at Etude House. I'm supposed to get an auto eyeliner from Etude House, however, it's OOS by the time I went in ); However, I had a good time with her in the shop and got a pastel pink nail polish for my friend^^

6. Had my first Starbucks date with Cookie few days ago after my exams. We DIY-ed nail polish rings and it was a nice experience with different kinds of nail polishes, something which I never had before!

7. Won an 25-hours Astrology watch :D
Finally, my new watch after many many years...
