The round and feminine bottle sparkled femininity with its delicate violet hues and precious floral essence of violet absolute, lotus blossom extract and rose petals.

Specs of the Note Category

One of my favorite feature is the multi-tasking part as I am a multitasking person and I hope my smartphone can do it digitally as well. Now, Samsung Galaxy Note II can do that with a few breezy multi-tasking features:

1. Pop Up Note: It allows S Note to be opened as a pop-up windows on the screen no matter you are watching a video or taking a call. 
2. Multiwindow: I must say this is awesome as people can multitask without having to switch in between screens. How cool is that!
3. Pop Up Video: Videos become a floating window on display with the touch of a button, allowing it to be repositioned to any part of the screen..


Air View is also one of the new feature displaying preview of content when S Pen hovers over an icon. This is super cool, you don't need to view each of your photos one by one. Unless you want to do so. *wink*

Got this cute little light bulb key chain from Samsung. Was thinking why they gave us a normal key chain, only to find out it was a 4GB USB thumb drive. Awesome!

Watch:
