Merry belated Christmas and Happy New Year everybody!!
This was supposed to be up on Monday, but I'm running behind schedule. I had every intention of getting two posts up today (yesterday actually, since this is currently being uploaded at 1 in the morning), but that didn't happen either. Fingers crossed I'm a better blogger today and am able to catch up to the schedule I created for myself!
This is part one of at least two posts (more if they end up
being too long). I got quite a bit of stuff over Christmas. Some of it was
presents and other stuff was bought in the Boxing Day sales (partly using money
and gift cards I got for Christmas). So to not use up too much space let’s just
jump straight into it. I’m staring out with the presents I received for
Christmas. I was a very lucky girl and I’m very appreciative of all the love
and thought that went in all of my presents.
Too Face Melted Kisses Pack:
This one’s from my awesome little sister. It’s a pack of
four mini versions of the Melted lipsticks. The shades included are: Melted Nude,
Melted Peony, Melted Fuchsia and Melted Berry. I’ve been wanting to try these
for ages, but at $26 a pop and with so many colours to choose from, I never
took the leap. Thank goodness my baby sister knows me so well, because this little
pack is the answer to my Melted dilemma. I really like all four shades in the
pack, but Melted Berry and Melted Peony are probably my favourites. They are
fairly longwearing and feel really nice on the lips. I can only imagine how
long it would take me to get through a full-sized on of these because I can’t
see me using the mini ones up all that quickly. Not when you through them into
the mix of all the other lip products I have. As I’m typing this I’m thinking I
maybe want to do a full review on them, with lip swatches and everything, so
stay tuned for that!
Gold Knot Earrings:
My other wonderful gift from my sister. I love these so
much! My usual earrings are a pair of gold ones with crystals in them. They’re
really nice and I rarely change them, until Christmas came that is. I opened
these and put them in before I even cracked open my lipsticks. I absolutely
love these earrings. I haven’t taken them out since (except for the odd wash
and photo). I’m not really into bling on jewellery or anything else really, a
fact which my sister is aware, thankfully. These earrings have just the right
amount of pretty without being ridiculously girlie.
Versace Bright Crystal:
I mentioned this in my October Favourites video, and decided
that it is my favourite perfume of all time. So, naturally I was pretty much
beyond stoked to get a big arse bottle of this for Christmas from my lovely
parents. I can’t even describe the scent of this stuff, except to say once
again that it is intoxicating and amazing. I can’t imagine liking another
fragrance better than this one.
Photo Finish Makeup:
I can’t say I’ve ever heard of this brand, but from just
swatches I can say that I am pretty impressed with the pigmentation of the
eyeshadows. They’re all pretty shimmery, but from a little swirl of the finger
in the product I got a lot of colour payoff. This is another thing that I want
to do a full review on and create a bit of an eye look with. I’ll have to mull
over what kind of look to create, but that post will be coming up soon too! I haven’t
played with the lip glosses yet, but they are pretty darn cute in their little
cupcake shapes.
Okay, so that wasn't everything I got. The post was becoming waaayyyy too long so I decided to split the present post into two. After the next present post I will be doing Part 2, which is the haul from the Boxing Day sales I got.
I hope you all have an amazing day! Until next time! xx
