Christmas Haul 2015

I thought I would share with you what beauty items I received/bought myself for Christmas and there is quite a lot!

Firstly, I’ll start with what I received:- Beauticology: Foot Treat Set (includes: Supersoft Socks, Vanilla Frosting Foot Lotion & Strawberry Frosting Foot Soak Crystals), VERSACE Mini Perfume Set, which includes four 5ml samples of some of their perfumes, including Crystal Noir, Bright Crystal, Yellow Diamond and Bright Crystal Absolu, Royal College Hall Mini Shower Gel & Body Lotion Set, which includes three shower gels and body lotions in three different scents (strawberry, mango and passionfruit), FRENCH CONNECTION Mini Pamper Collection, which includes five products; a body polisher, 50ml tub of body polish, 50ml tub of body butter, 75ml bottle of body wash and 75ml bottle of body spray. I believe all products are scented with the FCUK Pure scent, please correct me if I am wrong, Beauty Bakery Bath Bomb Set, which includes three large bath bombs and six small bath bombs (all smell heavenly), Soap & Glory The Next Big Thing™ Gift Set, which includes ten full sized products. Included is Hand Dream™ Super Cream (100ml), Orangeasm™ Body Wash (500ml), Butter Yourself™ Moisture Lotion (500ml), Heel Genius™ Foot Cream (125ml), Sugar Crush™ Body Scrub (300ml), Whipped Clean™ Shower Butter (250ml), The Righteous Butter™ Body Butter (300ml), Off Your Face™ 3-in-1 Daily Purifying Cloths (25 wipes), Sexy Mother Pucker™ Lip Lacquer in Charm Offensive (7ml) and Thick & Fast™ Super Volume Mascara (10ml). I also got some smaller cosmetics that were not part of sets; Barry M Nail Paint in Starlight (LE Christmas 2014 for Boots), Tabby Cat Pocket Mirror, Home Bargains Luxury Room Spray in Jasmine (got one in Hyacinth & Bluebell last year, which I loved!), Avon Planet Spa Sleep Serenity Pillow Mist (Camomile & Lavender), Classics Pump It Up Nail Polish Remover and Perfect Formulas Pink Gel Coat.

Lastly, I received a DOVE Real Woman Gift Set from one of my friends at work, which includes a 75ml tube of their Essential Nourishment Hand Cream, 250ml bottle of Essential Nourishing Body Lotion and 30ml pot of their Rich Nourishment Cream.
The next few items are my Christmas sales purchases, sort of! Boots now start their online sales on Christmas Eve, which is annoying, but I still made a few little purchases. I bought the GUCCI Guilty Perfume Gift Set; which includes the 30ml fragrance and 50ml body lotion, Paco Rabanne Lady Million Perfume Gift Set; which includes the 50ml fragrance and 100ml body lotion. Lastly on Christmas Eve, I got the Soap & Glory Irresistibubble!™ Gift Set; which includes a 75ml bottle of their Sugar Crush™ Body Wash and a 50ml tub of their Sugar Crush™ Body Buttercream. I purchased this set thinking it was the Soap & Glory Your Own Sweet Lime™ Gift Set, but I was sorely wrong! A few days after the Boxing Day sales, I decided to get this next set from Boots, which I was originally going purchase over the GUCCI Guilty set. I got the GUCCI Mini Parfums Set; which includes five 5ml samples of some of their perfumes, including Flora by GUCCI, GUCCI Guilty, GUCCI Guilty Black, GUCCI Première and GUCCI Première eau de toilette. I think this set was supposed to include Flora by GUCCI Gorgeous Gardenia instead of GUCCI Première eau de toilette, but for some reason this is what I got instead of.
Lastly, I bought two other items and only the set was discounted. I got the Roger & Gallet Fleur de Figuier Gift Set; which includes the 100ml fragrance, 50ml shower cream and 50ml body lotion and I bought a 30ml bottle of the Britney Spears - Cosmic Radiance Perfume.

WOW that was a lot to type! It’s fair to say that I did extremely well for presents and I am thankful for every last one.

What goodies did you receive/buy this Christmas?

Boots Fragrance Sampler Gift Set for Her 2015

I decided to treat myself to this little fragrance set. As you know, I am a perfume addict and I’m quite addicted to collecting perfume samples too! It’s this year’s Boots Fragrance Sampler set for Her. I saw last year’s advertised but I always thought it was a little expensive for what you get. The set basically contains eight samples of Boots best-selling female fragrances by other brands. The set comes in a small, thin cardboard box and each sample is set inside a plastic insert. You also get a small fragrance guide and the voucher, which is what you’ll need to get your full size bottle of your favourite sample. The eight samples in this year’s set are:- HUGO BOSS - Boss Ma Vie This is a 2ml sample vile in pipette form and can be exchanged for a 30ml bottle of the eau de parfum. “Inspired by the independent spirit of a woman, exuding a glow of femininity and confidence. Created around the cactus blossom, aiming to reinvent and modernize floral green notes ...

Jeffree Star Cosmetics Jawbreaker Palette

I bought this palette back when it first launched (summer 2019) and I was interested in it so I could experiment more with bright colours. The colour selection definitely doesn’t disappoint and I was expecting it to be the same quality as the Blood Sugar Palette, if not slightly better! The packaging is quite a large rectangular shape and made out of metallic pink cardboard with colourful dots/dashes all over representing a jawbreaker pattern. The name of the palette is in a slightly raised font. It has a magnetic closing which you lift to reveal the twenty-four eyeshadow pans arranged on a white background. The other side is the same pattern as the front cover with a mirror. You can purchase it for £54.00 ($58.00) from JeffreeStarCosmetics.com and BeautyBay.com. You get twenty-four 1.50g eyeshadows in Matte (M), Shimmer (S) and Metallic (ME) finishes. Swatch Stencil: Stripes Double 14 Pan by SwatchPerfect.co.uk Virgin - bone white (M) Good Morning - soft pink ...

This is the last ever declutter post I will be sharing with you. I have lost interest in really experimenting with my make-up looks so I thought it was time for another declutter.

The brands of products I have decluttered are; BECCA, Benefit, Kaleidos, MAC and theBalm.   EYES Single Powder Eyeshadows - 9 Single Cream Eyeshadows - 3 Single Liquid Eyeshadows - 1   That is a total of 13 eye products.
