Lovely December Goodies

Yummy....

Where to start?

The Clarins lip glosses came from one of the many "flash" sale sites and I think I ended up paying $3ish for them. They are surprisingly awesome and the colors are lovely if not a bit sheer, they will be perfect this spring and summer...

The Beast Child had another soccer game over the bridge so of course I had to waste time at the outlet. The CCO had nothing that caught my eye but the Lancome outlet has the Coral Paradise palette that I have always regretted not buying and the amazingly lovely Freeze Frame cream highlighter. I bought both for $25.00 how awesome is that?

Bare Escentuals sent out these promotional codes and I received a code for a free Brush with Genius magnetic brush collection with a purchase...I got the Beast his Blemish Therapy and the Delish lip gloss (perfect to throw in my pocket) palette for me. The brushes are really awesome and the case expands to hold quite a bit of make-up. 

With the Sephora VIB $20.00gc  I bought the Laura does London buxom set (20.00 on sale=free,lol) and the Bright Now kit..I absolutely adore the Laura magenta buxom gloss and the pale pink London buxom lipstick, each worn alone or together. In fact this is the first time that I have ever truly considered buying a back-up! The Bright Now kit also came with the lovely brightening face primer, mascara and the Fast and Flawless face brush, which is perfect for applying highlighters. The Boost blush is a rosy apricot glowing pot of loveliness, the Eye Bright is a golden glow and the Energy Drink lip gloss is just the loveliest of lovely glowing golden pink glosses that I have seen in a long time...An absolute lovely kit for when you are feeling gray and gloomy.

My friend gave me her Sephora BI $15.00gc and I chose the Benefit Femme Metale kit which was marked down to $28.00...I really am going back and forth on this kit..

.First off, I love the packaging, it just looks really cool to me...

Second, I love all three pencils, they are so smooth and the colors are just lovely...

Third, I love the Taupe-aztic cream shadow but the other two not so much..

I do think the fact that it cost me $13.00 for the kit should make me be like "ummm yessss, keep it", I guess I am being an indecisive Libra,lol....

Finally, while the bulk of my Christmas bonus went to the Beast Child and I must say I truly outdid myself after two unemployed and pretty poor Christmases, I did have to get myself a little something...

What's better than a Chanel Christmas? I ordered the Ombres Perlees de Chanel palette and have worn it for the past two days. It is truly a lovely, lovely palette...I put aside enough for a lip color but will pick that out in person with R. I am leaning towards one of the glosses...

Well that's it, well, maybe one more little spree next week....
