Haul time! Here’s the makeup I amassed throughout December – many of them thanks to family members! <3
I’ve become so obsessed with Too Faced that I actually got up at 4 am to order the Chocolate Bon Bons palette on launch day. No, I’m not kidding.
And I’m glad I did it too because the palette promptly sold out by the end of the day! Unfortunately, it took a bit longer to get to me due to a hold up at the post office in the adjacent city being rammed with boxes, but hey, I’ve got it now! I’ve already done swatches which you can see here. A Challenge Week will be forthcoming, but I’m afraid you’ll have to wait till January for it!
Are you guys even interested when I buy makeup wipes? Here’s yet another package of Neutrogena Hydrating wipes – once again purchased when they were on sale.
Awwww Nemo’s taking a peek while I shoot photos.
This one was a joke gift in my stocking, but I had to include it anyway. Frozen lip balm! (And it’s not nearly as bad as I thought it was going to be!) There’s tiny flecks of glitter in there as well!
Helllloooo gorrrrgeous! This is the Charlotte Tilbury “The Rebel” quad. I’ve loved my Vintage Vamp quad so much that I wanted another one to add to my collection (pricey little buggers) and my husband was kind enough to gift me one!
Until now, I had held off trying out Charlotte Tilbury‘s Matte Revolution lipsticks because I just didn’t want to fall in love with a lipstick that costs almost $40! I put Lost Cherry on my wishlist and also got it as a gift. I loooove that colour!
And lastly, I put in an enormous Makeup Geek order in November and it only just arrived this month. (The USD exchange rate was not only brutal, but I also got drilled with a customs charge as well. Ugh.) I picked up the entire Duochrome pigment and eyeshadow bundle ($150 USD) and four of the normal shadows that I hadn’t gotten around to picking up yet (Baby Face, Morocco, Pixie Dust and Shore Thing – $6 USD each).
Tell me – what’s the one item you bought/received in December that you loved the most?
Yaaay, you got Pixie Dust! <3
My favourite thing I got this month… hm. My family has refused to give me makeup for Christmas, but my roommate got me the OFRA highlighter in You Glow, Girl!
Also, something I loved gifting… I gifted my little sister with the Too Faced Chocolate Bar palette!
Hah, after Zoe badgered me about Pixie Dust, I had to get it!
Your family refused to give you makeup?!?! Oh man, that’s just cruel! Super awesome of your roommate though! And that’s a GREAT gift for your little sister! I hope she loves it. 🙂
A very belated Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones Chelle! ❤ I’m oohing and ahhing over your Too Faced and Charlotte Tilbury items! But also making a note of the makeup wipes as I’ll be taking an overseas flight next month and will be needing some. Although I “gifted” (hehe) myself with quite a bit this month, my absolute favorite is a sample jar of Fyrinnae blush in Nordic Angel. Such a beautiful luminous peachy-pink color! Requires just the tiniest bit because it’s wonderfully pigmented and lasts all day, even when my other makeup has faded away! I’m so happy with the items I’ve tried from Fyrinnae! It’s one of my first forays into indie cosmetics and I’m hooked! Off topic, but have you seen the sneak peeks of the upcoming peach palette from Too Faced?!! 😵 LoL I think I’ll be setting my alarm for that one!
Merry Christmas to you and yours Inday! Thank you so much for your support of my blog over the last year or so. It’s been so, so appreciated. 🙂
I’ve never bought from Fyrinnae, but I’ve always oohed and ahhed over them (and I just love how “Fyrinnae” sounds too!).
I am DYING over the peach palette by Too Faced! TF keeps knocking it out of the park with their palettes and I’m like omg I neeeed all of them!
I can’t wait to see those Duochromes on your face!

I haven’t even had a chance to play with them yet… how horrible is that? Once I get back from vacation though – GAME ON!
Do you just about have all of the MUG shadows now? 😉 I can’t wait to see what you do with the duochromes!!!
My favourite gift from Christmas was definitely the Lisa Eldrige “Facepaint” book! My husband bought it for me and I’m soooo excited about it. I’ve hardly dug into it yet, but it’s everything I hoped it would be so far.

No! I don’t! I’m a bit short on the regular shadows (maybe short ten of them?) and I don’t have many of the mattes because they had such crap reviews on Temptalia.
The Lisa Eldridge book looks amazing! (The cover is so, so beautiful!) I hope you love it. 🙂
Can’t wait to see what you do with those duochromes! Amazing buys – that CT lipstick is gorgeous!

I’m excited to play with them! Pretty happy with the CT lipstick – it’s a colour I didn’t expect her to have (since it’s kind of loud!).
Drooling over everything. YES at that CT lipstick. I wasn’t sure if their matte collection was up here yet! The colour is so definitely you. 😉

I think my husband got the lipstick on the CT Web site. No idea if it’s at Holt Renfrew yet!
I can totally understand wanting the Too Faced palette- it’s so darn adorable and the colours look fab!
My family doesn’t really buy me makeup, but I got a bunch of gas giftcards, which up until this point I didn’t think I would ever be excited to receive! It’ll at least get me through the month!
The Canadian dollar needs to go back up…. 🙁

If I had a car, I would seriously appreciate gas gift cards as well!!!
The Canadian dollar is so horrible right now… we’re on vacation in the US and it’s certainly not cheap when you do the exchange rate!
Quite an impressive haul, I love everything!! I want to see challenge week for the Bon Bons palette now!

It’ll be up either next week or the one after! 😀
I love the Too Faced palette!
Although I haven’t used it very much I really like the colours in the palette :-))
It’s a great one that’s for sure!
