Our 2nd year anniversary

Tuesday 27th July 2010 Emmanuel and i celebrated our 2nd year wedding anniversary!!

and its taken me ages to put this post up :)

But i had a beautiful suprise from him......i was stuck at work all day and 2 of my work mates had called in sick....AND we were VERY busy so my day wasnt going very well

then all of a sudden some flowers were delivered to my work :)

(me after work)

gosh i look tired here....it was a Loooooong day :)

think you get the picture :) lol

PLUS....one of Emmanuel's childhood friends ('Stopples').....(that was his nickname and surname) :) and his wife had a little baby boy....we are so happy for them!!

he is so cute!!!! his mummy is Cambodian/Chinese and his Daddy is German so he has beautiful skin!!

I LOVE this photo!!

boy did we get clucky :) hahaha....you shouldve seen Emmanuel :)

Now......this next lot of pics is to say thank-you to Kane and Kelly for Emmanuel's birthday present...they gave him a really nice t.shirt...

my sexy man :)

i really like this top!

Now here i was trying to take a picture of our 'heater' that looks like a little fire place to show mum :) but Emmanuel jumped in the photo!! plus you can kinda see my reflection in the mirror part of it, i was in my pyjamas :).....normally you can see fake flames and its so pretty!!

Lots of love

Yay for more goodies :)

Can i possibly be more spoilt from my job??

i seriously love it when i go for training...and i get to visit the staff shop next to the training centre....and then when we launch something new....cause i seem to get lots of goodies!!!

Last Tuesday i went to training....it was all about our 'Re-nutriv' range....which is our skincare and also makeup range that is in the luxury category!!! it is more expensive but the products are beautiful!! they have sourced ingredients from around the world like crushed south sea pearls, elemental gold, wolfberry, Sea Whip extract (soothes and protects skin), Lady's thistle extract (a botanical extract that helps to keep skin more plump, firmer and more lifted), Reishi mushroom (rich in minerals), waters from the deep sea in Hawaii etc etc etc....seriosuly though these products are beautiful....i LOVE them!! and the foundation has crushed gems in them that reflect and play with light to give the skina real dewy texture!!

anyways...as we were learning all about these amazing products...we aso got an eye cream given to us from the ' UltimateYouth' range

the Ultimate Youth range is one that prolongs youth! so for an 80 yr old there probably is no use for them....but someone that still has some youth....this stuff is the bomb :)

so thats the eye cream

i will do a post soon on some other ranges, cause i really do think they are good products!!

this isnt from training...this is a discontinued blush that i loved so it was given to me!

It's also 'Gift with purchase' time in David Jones at the moment...so if you spend over $75 you get all this for free..........

plus you also get a serum that goes underneath your moisturiser....the great thing about this gift is you get to choose everything!! there are 4 moisturisers and you can choos 1....3 serums and you choose 1, you choose a warm or cool lipstick, gloss and eyeshadow pallette  and you get a mascara and a really cute bag!!!

AWESOME GIFT IF I SAY SO MYSELF!!

and i get it all for freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee :)

this is the cool eyeshadow pallete......pinks and purples etc...the warm one is more browns/greens and neutral colours.

 

i also got this from the staff shop....they are Bobbi Brown eyeshadows...they are really pretty!!

I LOVE that gold colour...great to make Blue eyes POP!!

plus i got this MAC pallete...that im LOVING...gorgeous colours....wish i could wear it more often!!! but cause we are in gift time at work i have to wear the cool or warm colours to promote them (plus im not really meant to wear other brands to work unless we have the same colours) :)

this is actually a really true purple colour from MAC that i loved and was really cheap...it looks pink in this photo!!

PLUS MY FREE GOODS ARRIVED!!!!

YAY

about twice a year we get to spend up to about $450 on any Estee product we want and it gets sent to our home!! but it takes roughly 2-3months to be processed :)

plus if they dont have it in stock you have to re-order that item......i was wondering where all my stuff was as i recieved the receipt in the mail but no products...so last week i enquired and found out that if we arnt home when they deliver them...they get sent back to the warehouse!!!  :) so all that time they have just been sitting in a box on the ground....wating for me to come and get them....lol

but i am so happy to finally get them....bummer though the coral colour lipstick and also the red one they didnt have ...so im missing 2 lipsticks!!

this is double wear 'light' makeup....i LOVE this stuff...the normal double wear makeup is meduim to full coverage but this one is sheer to meduim.....and i find this shade matches me better than the one in the normal double wear! but they are both amazing foundations!!! best i have ever used...they are oil free so they literally last all day long and dont move...i have customers that wear them to the gym and its still on perfectly at the end :) you just have to make sure you get it of good at the end of the day and moisturise well so it doesnt dry you out in winter!!!

really good translucent powder for over foundation for any oily spots on the face....this is called 'Aeromatte' powder.

Oh i love makeup :)

this is an eyeshadow duo....love pinks/purples....girly colours :)............and this lipstick is THE BEST EVER LIPSICK I HAVE EVER FOUND!!!! no joke its my fav....its a 'signature' lipstick which stays on well but is creamy so doesnt dry you out....its number 52, called BRILLIANT PINK....and seriously its brilliant!!

and that creamy coloured stick is the 'double wear concealer'.....once again, anything called double wear literally last all day!! this is the best concealer...it looks great for dark circles under the eye as well as blemishes!! a really great concealer!!

and a really great 'day' moisturiser!! its a protection one that also has spf 15.....and smells really fresh like cuccumber....great for everyday use!!

so am i a lucky girl or what???

YES I AM :)

all that in one week!!!!!!!!!!

hahahah...see why i love my job, i get bonuses like this....plus if i make target for the month, i get commision in my pay, and if our counter makes target as a whole group...i get even more commision.....finally im in a job i love and want to stay in for a long long time :)

Love from a very content woman
