BBPR latest challenge: Its a piece of cake! ;)

On Beauty Bloggers Puerto Rico group, Noelia from Its not my life anymore choose the picture to inspire our latest challenge:

Oh so yummy and cute!

Here is my submission to the challenge:

As you can see, I went wild and did a little bit of everything.  Had so many ideas for this challenge that I couldn't be ok with just one thing, had to keep adding until my nails where stuffed! hahaha

Challenges are so much fun! It helps us to get out of our comfort zone; It certainly did for me because I tried so many new things at once. 

What I used:

- Deborah Lippmann Happy Birthday

- KleanColor White & Blind Date

- Color Club Foil Me Once & Lumin-Icent

- Old Navy Glimmeric Scintillant

- Orly half moon stripes

- acrylic paints

- makeup sponge (to sponge acrylic paint)

- striping tape

I would love if you too participate! You can send a pic of your submission to myrandomstash@gmail.com to be featured on my Facebook Page.

Goodies from Apothica!

Recently I was contacted by Apothica to be part of their sponsorship program. Many good things have been happening for the blog, some are still in progress and I'm really happy about it.

Packaging was very neat! everything (except for the DuWop kit) was bubble wrapped and had a Fill-Air bag around it.  The DuWop kit inside the small bag had an eyeshadow duo, an eyeliner and mascara, plus some white foam pieces wrapped in a brown and gold tissue paper (very elegant!); this help to prevent damages.  This was my first experience with the company and I'm very pleased, specially with the way everything was packaged; they certainly didn't skip on secure my precious cargo!  It took about 10 days? from order processing to delivery; I would say that processing took the longest and shipping was fast.  When ordering I had the good luck of using a code to get 20% off which maximized my budget.  Another thing that I like from the company is the vast array of brands that they offer and that I was able to score items from brands like Essie & SpaRitual at a discounted price + the discounts and sales that they have all year long.  This have been a great experience because this will be my first time trying the brands that I choose from.

The picture of the box is blurry because I was taking a medicine that got me super shaky :(  had to wait until the effect wore off next day to take the rest of them.

What I got:

• Essie Lilaclism & School of Hard Rocks
• Deborah Lippmann Happy Birthday (so opportune for this month! hehe)
• SpaRitual minis: Running With Wolves, Sacred Ground & Howl
• DuWop Crushed Velvet 3 piece kit
• Samples from Pevonia, Ahava & Nuxe

I'm excited to try everything, but as for now I've already tried Essie School of Hard Rocks and its a dream!

Also, my second giveaway is in the works! I'm just trying to put up some really nice goodies and save some $ for shipping charges to make it international.
