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
for tagging me for "Once upon a Time" & " You're a Doll" Tag....here it is.

"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...

I want to thank the sweet Amy of "Amynaree" for giving me this award, Thanks Amy!

1. Put the logo on your blog or post.

Julie of Pop Champange
Diane of Orange2LA
Kalmo of Cambo Soup
Mona of Make me Blushhh


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
