Pixi Beauty Endless Silky Eye Pen

Since last year I've been on a liner pencil kick that doesn't seem to slow down anytime soon. Since seeing swatches of the Pixi Beauty Endless Silky Eye Pen from Kate's Driveling, I couldn't help but wonder if they would stand a chance against my all-melty powerful Japanese sunscreens. It so happened that around last March, Dermstore ran a really nice promotion wherein any $35+ order for Pixi Beauty receives a Pretty Eye Perfection Kit as GWP. Well, gee, that wasn't hard.

I ended up with 3 Endless Silky Eye Pens in 2-Black Blue, 3-Black Tulip, and 5-Deep Plum. The Pretty Eye Perfection Kit includes a 12-color eye shadow palette, a mini Endless Silky Eye Pen 1-Black Noir, and a deluxe sample of Eye Bright Primer 1.9g/0.06oz., which I also like very much and will review later.

I received a bunch of these full size 0.28oz. Dermstore Lip Quenches, 5 in total, from the four Fall 2012 Super Luxe Grab Bags and the 2012 Black Friday Special Mystery Grab Bag. A new lip balm to try? Sure, why not!

Along with the Dermstore Fall 2012 Super Luxe Grab Bags, I also indulged in this 2012 Black Friday Special Mystery Black Bag ^.^  I was curious to see what would turn up in my Black Bag. I guess I was just in the mood to be surprised last year!

Yes, I was annoyed that the packing list was also not itemized, but since there was just one Black Bag I didn't struggle as much sorting the items out as I did the Luxe Grab Bags.

Sorry for going MIA for so long. I have a good reason, I promise. We moved home. Again. 

It was crazy hectic after Taipei because I had to sort through all my things to prepare for this next move, yet another temporary arrangement until May. We spent a week driving across the country and just today we finally got our internet up and running, after a whole week of waiting, tearing our hair out and looking up everything with our phones, not to mention all the work piling up at my office T.T Let me tell you, smart phones are nice, but they do not replace the good ol' computers. I guess we've been super spoiled too with our super sonic internet up and running on the same day or the next day while we were in Japan and Taiwan. 

Anyway, last fall I decided to try out these Super Luxe Grab Bags from Dermstore. I'm not sure if they do this every year, but this is the first time I actually paid attention and decided a skincare surprise would be nice. The problem was that I couldn't decide which of the 4 bags to get, and so I bought all 4 ^.^ Together, these 4 Grab Bags took care of Christmas presents for myself (what, a girl can't buy her own presents?) and stocking stuffers for my family.
