What I Got for Christmas 2016

Hello lovelies! I hope that everyone had a wonderful Christmas holiday. Today I’m sharing with you everything that I received for Christmas. I want to preface everything with: I’m not sharing this to brag with what I got. If anything, it is quite the opposite. I would much rather find the perfect gift for someone else.  To keep this post from getting too long, let’s jump in.

As I was working on this post, I realized I didn’t include the Jingle Bell Berry Hand Cream, Warm Vanilla Sugar Body Lotion, and a winter mug fill with peppermints, candy canes and candy, an all natural honey and oats scented soap, and body mitt.

I truly feel blessed, and am lucky to receive gifts that I absolutely love. I hope that you all had a wonderful day with your family. I’ll see you in my next post.

Merry Christmas

Hello lovelies!! Merry Christmas! My original post for today just wasn’t working out, so I will keep it short and sweet for today. I want to wish you all a very Merry Christmas. Enjoy the time with you friends and family. I hope that you make some wonderful memories, eat tons of food, and pass out on the couch. Hopefully Santa has visited your house and left presents under the tree. I hope that you’ve had a wonderful day with your friends and family. Have a great day and I’ll see you in my next post. Merry Christmas!

Hello lovelies! To keep this post from getting too long, I won’t be sharing my thoughts on everything. Even if I split this up into multiple posts it would still be quite lengthy.

December Play! by Sephora Unboxing

Hello lovelies! Today I’m bringing you the final Sephora Play! unboxing for 2016. December’s box theme is The Partygoers. First of all this bag is so cute. I love the black bag with the rose gold print and ribbon. Let’s dive in to the box.

Products

drybar Bay Breeze Hydrating Shot; set of 4 Retails $38

Make Up For Ever Step 1 Skin Equalizer Smoothing Primer; Retails $37

Bobbi Brown Smokey Eye Mascara; Retails $30

Sephora Cream Lip Stain in Always Red; Retails $14

Urban Decay All Nighter Setting Spray; Retails: $31

Elizabeth and James Nirvana Bourbon; Retails: $85

That is everything that came in my December Play box. I’m very excited for this box. I feel like I say that for every box, but I think for the first time I LOVE the perfume bonus. My boyfriend was over when I opened this box and he sprayed it on himself. I was shocked and yelled what are you doing? That’s a perfume! Strangely enough it worked on him and didn’t smell too feminine on him. This scent is intoxicating and addicting. It is a little sweet, a little bold, has a warm scent and a little woody. The Urban Decay setting spray I already own and know that I love. The drybar Hydrating shot is something my hair is in desperate need of. I just wish that one bottle wasn’t a single use. I’m still on the hunt for the perfect primer for my skin. As far as the mascara, I’m always looking to try out mascaras. The lip product, I love the color red, but I’m not very brave to wear it all the time. I’m hoping to wear this one and the others that I own all at least once in the next couple of weeks.

That’s all for today. I hope that you enjoyed this post. Is anyone else subscribed to this box? What are your thoughts?
