Love Package, Swap, Hauls

It's that time again!  Time to show you guys all my recent packages (haha I know..not too exciting).  Most of these were waiting for me when I got back home, so I guess you can call them hitch hikers from 2009!


Love package from adin_22




I came home to a pleasant surprise!  I had no idea she was going to send me anything.  All the goods were nicely covered by some snowman tissue paper.



Hello Kitty Lamb! OMG this is so adorable, it's now has a new home on my desk :)



Super cute Christmas card along with some HK jelly beans (already devoured by me).



Betsey Johnson earrings and pink ice cream necklace!  Both of them are right up my alley.  I actually really love Betsey Johnson jewelry (she must be psychic).



Elizabeth Arden Clay Mask.  I have heard good things about this and I can't wait to try.


Thank you x 100!  I love everything you picked out for me.



Last swap of 2009 with Karen (Sizbelle)


I did a final swap with Karen in Nov/Dec to end the year with a little treat.



I kept seeing posts about Kit Kats with interesting flavors so I asked her to find me some!  So far I have tried the Apple Vinegar and the Vegetable? flavored one and they are both pretty yummy.



New eyelash curler to try out along with a facial net.



Oops nail polish, O2 skin e/s, Canmake Cheek Gradation 05



Castledew Lip Fume.  The packaging is gorgeous but the gloss itself does have that weird perfumey smell to it that I don't find too pleasant.



Esprique Precious Illuminate Fantasy Collection!  I really wanted this set and Karen was sweet enough to get me this as a Christmas present.  Thank you Sizbelle Santa!



Castledew e/s palette.  The colors look so pretty, can't wait to try.






Pimple serum and Etude House Rich Butter Hand cream (this stuff smells amazing!).



Dior hydrating concealer (the shade was too dark for her so she passed it on to me) and Lunasol Blush refill (the shade was too shimmery for her so another score for me!).



The package was topped with this sweet Christmas card.


Coastal Scents



I picked up the 3pc limited Edition Brush set from Coastal Scents.  It was on sale for $7.95 so couldn't resist!  It comes with a Kabuki Brush, Face/Blush Brush, and Concealer Brush.




Makeup.com


Picked up some stuff from makeup.com when they were having their 40% sale.



Cargo Blu Ray Blush/Highlighter and Pressed Powder. 



The packaging is pretty bulky looking but you get a lot of product.  The blush/highlighter is gorgeous!  It really gives me a nice fresh glow.  I think this kicks off my first favorite item of 2010!



Mihoko's Christmas Giveaway


Mihoko was having a Christmas Giveaway on her blog.  The rules were you had to tell her what gifts you would get 5 people and why.  I was picked as one of the winners and this is what she sent me!



Beautymaker Romantic e/s palette


SaSa 


I took advantage of Sasa's free shipping promotion (about 3 times haha).



Catena Eight Cups of water crystal eye masks.  Eki sent me one of these to try (although I think the one she sent me was a collagen one) and I really liked it.  These masks feel really good on my eyes and the results are great.



JuJu Aquamoist Make Up Base and JuJu Aquamoist Cream




Sana Moisture Gel.  I love the packaging!



Essential Damage Care Hair Treatment.  I was so curious to try out this line after hearing great reviews from Eki.  They are also super cheap on Sasa.

Sephora




Nars Lipgloss in Dolce Vita.  After trying a sample size of this I had to get the full!  The color and texture is amazing.




Urban Decay Get Baked Set.  This was 20% off so I had to grab it.




Below are items from the Good Buy 2009 $10 or less sale.



Boscia Green Tea Blotting Linen and Dry Shampoo.  



Anastacia Mini Brow Kit




Benefit To Go Beauty Bestsellers



The To Go sizes are so cute!




A pile of all the stuff after I got done taking pictures of them!  I wish I could jump in and roll around in it but don't think that would be such a great idea.


Well....I don't think I should do any more shopping for awhile, but who am I kidding?  I'm so weaaaaaaak!


Til next time...toodles!

Shop N' Chomp said...

Having probs with your c-box, so here's my comment hehehe:

Aw, thx babe. It's on the far end of the Strip (next to Luxor) but if you're going to be driving anyways, visiting mid-Strip casinos shouldn't be a problem.

FriendzCentury said...

omg, I got the same hello kitty! ahah :) I want some of those kit kats too.. ARGHH, do you think verina can get those?! LOL, I'm suppose to be swapping with her this year :X

I refuse to buy coastal scents! haha, I just think you can get the same thing on ebay for the same price -___-" Jealous of your cargo stuff! I've really been wanting those.. but I want the pink blush! The peach one didn't look too flattering on my hand at sephora :/?

I also got the benefit best sellers :) They're so cute and small, I might go buy another one tomorrow if I like the products as a back up :P hahaha! I still saw like a bunch and hopefully they made it through the weekend >_>
