Tags+Awards+Sephora Swatches

Sorry for the lack of posts nowadays, I've been busy and now I'm sick, woke up last monday with sore throat & fever....I hate being sick!!! I could barely swallow, my throat was so swollen.....been sleeping on & off the whole day yesterday...

Anyways, today I'm going to do some tags that I haven't done yet...
first is from the beautiful Zoe of "13december"...Zoe thanks for

"Once Upon a Time" Tag

1. Post a picture from your childhood (less than 13 yrs old).
2. Write about the picture.
3.Tag your friends and readers.

I can't remember how old I am in this picture but this was taken in our house back in my hometown with my cousin. she's like 2 years older than I am and we grew up together...same house, same room, same school from grade school to college & even finished the same degree. right now she's having her first baby and I'm so happy for her...& I'm going to be an aunt again...so I'm excited...

&

"You're A Doll!" Tag

RULES:
1.Remember to link back to the person who awarded you!
2. Select 5 more bloggers that you think are dolls and link them at the bottom.
3. Tell about a character from a book/movie /drama that you most like.
4. Post the picture and title on your blog permanently if you'd like.

This is a bit hard, uhmmmm....well, all I can think of is Ella of Ella Enchanted (Gail Carson Levine)....I first read the book & liked it so much,It's like Cinderella with a twist and it was released as a movie with Anne Hathaway as Ella.
Ella was given a gift of "obedience" when she was born, so imagine your life having to obey everything people tells you to do, what I like about her is because of her curse/gift she became a rebel but without success (haha, that's me!!) she's smart and very good with language which helps her a lot on her adventures. she's brave, sure of herself & her opinions and she has sense of humor, she doesn't need a kiss from the prince or help from the fairy godmother to break the curse, in the end she breaks it all by herself because of her love & devotion for the Prince...classic fairytale right? but this book/movie is hilarious...it's fun to read how she deals with her disability...

Blair and Zoe requested some swatches for the
Sephora Lip Attitude-Glamour Lipsticks and here it is:
(taken Digital Macro in Natural Light)

I hope this helps, I tried taking some pics of it on my lips but my lips isn't just as nice as angelina jolie's so.....

These lipsticks has a light fruity smell....which I love, it's a bit minty when I wear it or is it just me?....it's hydrating, creamy and glossy but not sticky at all...it's sheer so I have to apply it a few times, packaging is nice, it's shiny pewter & the bottom is clear so you could see what color it is...and available in a lot of shades to choose from, for $12, I think it's a good buy.

XOXO,
Iris
