This year I decided to spend the holidays away from home and with the bf, so I didn't get a whole bunch of presents, but I did get some pretty awesome stuff.
The present from the bf was picked by me and I did my best to forget what I ordered from...yes, you guessed right, Sephora!

I think I've said this before, but when I buy make up, I really like picking up value sets, because you get more "bang for your buck" and get to try more products!
I grabbed 3 value sets and some other things.
Benefit - Coral My World: I'm a sucker for packaging and this little box has polka dots even on the inside!!
I already know I love Benefit products and I have a mini Sun Beam. This one is still not full size, it's a deluxe sample size, but it's super cute!!(Review on Sun Beam can be found here). Also, I really wanted to try Coralista, cuz everybody raves about it! I love Bella Bamba, but I want to try this one too!
Too Faced - Beauty Editor Darlings: I haven't really tried Too Faced products, and I've heard for ages that their eye shadow primer is really good, so I wanted to give it a try. This kit is supposed to have the Too Faced products I have been wanting to try for a while! Can't wait to try them out.
This kit comes with:
- Lashgasm Mascara
- Shadow Insurance Eye Shadow Primer
- Glamour Gloss Lip Gloss in Sex Pot
- Lip Insurance Lip Primer
- Primed & Poreless Face Primer
(This kit is currently sold out at Sephora, but you can pick it up at Dermstore)
bareMinerals - Cool As Ice: This is a set of 6 Marvelous Moxie lipglosses. I got one of these lipglosses in Daredevil from Ipsy's November bag (post here), and I really liked them. I decided to chose this for my present and all the colors in this set are super cute!
I really couldn't care less if this product plumps my lips or not. It's suppossed to and that's why it has a minty cool sensation of which sometimes I can get tired of, but I get used to it after a while. (This kit is sold out at Sephora and Ulta, but you can find it in the bareMinerals website, QVC and SkinStore)
Urban Decay Eyeshadow in Dashiki: I love love love Urban Decay and I really wanted a full size eye shadow from them. This one, is not a color I would wear daily, but it's still a really pretty color.
Even without checking the price, I still remember they had this eye shadow for $6. I just couldn't resist getting an Urban Decay eye shadow for that cheap, I had to have it. (This is out of stock on both Sephora and the Urban Decay website *sad face*)
Tokidoki - Perfetto Eyeliner in Donutella: I guess everybody knows Tokidoki is being discontinued and all the items are for sale on Sephora(what ever is left). I picked this eyeliner up, out of all the ones they had I thought it was the cutest, can't wait to try it.
Also when I was picking this stuff up, they still had the It Kits, I think I got The Lasting Impression It Kit. It came with
- Tarte Micronized Caly Finishing Powder Smooth Operator
- Clarins Instant Smooth
- Sephora Anti-Shine Foundation Primer
- Laura Mercier Face Polish
- Urban Decay DeSlick
- Sephora Instant Moisturizer
- L'ancome Hypnose Star Mascara
- Alien By Thierry Mugler
- Billionaire Boyfriend by Addison Montgomery...oops! I mean Kate Walsh.
Also I got a duo of philosophy's Purity and The Micro Delivery from the bf's mom. This was like it fell from heaven! I was desperately needing a cleanser and I love Purity because it removes even mascara without irritating my eyes, and it doesn't dry out my skin. The Micro Delivery is an amazing product too.
I guess I had really good present karma this year, the bf got a vintage video game for his Sega Genesis called Bubsy, that a friend recommended. I couldn't get presents for anybody else because...I gots no moneys!! Most things I post here that I bought...well the bf bought them, since I am what I will call a stay at home gf!
Disclaimer: I didn't pay for any of this, it was given to me for Xmas because I'm so awesome!!! My opinion is personal and I'm not getting anything for spreading it like I spread some tasty Nutella on a toast!
