This giveaway is now closed. Thanks to all who joined! Click *here* to find out who the winner is. :)

[This post was scheduled to be published a couple of days ago, May 13, but due to BLOGGER ISSUES, it wasn't published.]

Hey everyone! Today's a very special day for me as it is my 21st birthday! Ooooh wait, did I just tell you my age? Hahaha! Anyway, the past year has been... how should I say this... uhhhhh... fun? O_O I remember this day last year, I was in the laboratory trying to purify my thesis sample via gel filtration chromatography. I spent the whole day with Sephacryl S-200 and 100+ eppendorf tubes. (Click here to read about my thesis-filled summer of 2010.) Back then I just wanted everything to be over. Now that it is, I'm kinda missing it. But that's just probably because I haven't been doing anything for the past months.

Ok, enough with the flashback. Let's go back to the present. Right now I am nowhere near the laboratory (or ANY laboratory for that matter). I am waiting for my chemistry board review classes to start, and I'll only be waiting for one more day because they start tomorrow. The chem board exam is scheduled to be on September, by the way.

OOOOOOKKKK! Now back to something beauty-related. I don't know if you guys have noticed but I recently joined Sigma Beauty's Affiliate Program. So if you want to order Sigma brushes, you can use my affiliate link: http://www.sigmabeauty.com/?Click=95848. Or you can just click the Sigma buttons I posted on the sidebar :)

And because I also joined their Incentive Program, they will be sending me a brush (F80). I'm really excited about this! I've always wanted to try Sigma brushes :)
