Godiva Chocolate~

It was the first time buying Godiva Chocolates. I always wanted to try them but they seemed quite pricey for chocolates... But I thought "TODAY IS THE DAY FOR GODIVA CHOCOLATES!!" When I went in, I found that there was a section where I can choose approximately 20 chocolates for $12. I thought it was a pretty good deal~ So I decided to get that~


After paying, the woman asked if she should wrap it. I wanted to feel special so I said yes and got it wrapped~
She put on a ribbon and put tissue paper. It wasn't a big gift wrapping but I felt so special carrying that around the mall~~ ^^



So much pictures of the bag and the container.. ^^


I bought mostly milk chocolate truffles because I thought I like milk chocolate truffles in general. (I bought close to 10  milk chocolate truffles.... ^^)


I used to buy Purdy's Chocolates (I know that they have similar prices.... but Godiva seemed a bit more expensive in my head.... not sure why....) I kind of got bored of the chocolate after awhile. I kept on buying chocolates from Superstores since it was cheaper and tasted similar to Purdy's. 

I thought Godiva would be similar to store bought chocolates but it is so different!! It has the right amount of sweetness (Perfect sweetness to me~~) and the chocolate is so smooth!! I think I am now addicted to Godiva chocolates....

Dan Brown - Inferno


I bought the new Dan Brown book, Inferno. I read a lot of Dan Brown books. (Such as Angels and Demons, Davinci Code and Lost Symbol - I did try to read other books like Deception Point but I couldn't finish those...) I am a fan of Dan Brown and his style of writing. 

I never really liked reading books but Dan Brown changed everything. I began to read a bit more than I have in the past. I found that I enjoy reading mystery and different facts on various historic facts/religions. I especially like reading Dan Brown books because the book shows the protagonist's point of view as well as the antagonist's point of view. The chapters in the book are short and the view keeps changing every one to two chapters. The author is also very good at describing the suspense and the horror the characters are going through. 

I just started reading the book but so far I love it! I say this every time I finish his books but I think this one is better than his older books.  

* spoiler alert!! - skip to the next paragraph if you don't want spoilers
There is a different opening compared to Robert Langdon's older books. Other ones, Robert was contacted by someone and flew into another country to meet them but for this one, Robert is in a hospital trying to recall how and why he is there. This is an interesting start and the book just gets better from there~ 

By far, this is one of the best Dan Brown book that I have read. I do love the others ones but judging by the opening, I think this is one of the fastest books I will finish by him!!  Can't let go of the book once I start reading! ^^

I rate this book 5/5!!

NARS Pro Prime Smudge Proof Eyeshadow Base


I have very oily eye lids which is why my eye make up doesn't last more than 3 hours without creasing... I was always looking for an eye primer but didn't know which one to buy. I saw a YouTuber talk about the NARS Eye shadow base but was worried that it might not work on me. I was hesitant to buy it because of the price but I was getting too frustrated with my oily lids that I gave in after reading lots of blogs and watching YouTube reviews. I got mine from Sephora for $29 (not including tax).


I never tried a NARS product but heard that the packaging attacks a lot of dust and other make up products get on the packaging making it dirty. So far, mine is in mint condition. (I only had mine for about a week... ^^)


It has a sponge applicator so I always put the product on the back of my hand and put the product on using my fingers. I don't put the applicator directly on my eye because the product is white and I don't want to contaminate the rest of the product if my BB cream touches the applicator. 


I don't put a lot of this product on my eyes but it still does the job well~ ^^


It is my first time trying a primer so I can't compare it with other products but it really helps my eye makeup last the entire day. (NO MORE CREASES~~ ^^) I had my make up on for about 18 hours once but I didn't have to touch up anything involving my eye make up. ^^ 

I really recommend this product to anybody who has problems with creasing eye shadows. I am going to keep purchasing this product until it discontinues. (I really hope it doesn't discontinue...)
