12 Days of Christmas : Winter 2013 Beauty Haul (Sephora, Drugstore, NYX, Lashes)

In keeping with the haul theme, I have a winter beauty haul to share with you guys. We went to NYC recently and I don't get to shop in the us very frequently so I kind of spoiled myself a little bit. I got an Holiday kit at Sephora, some stuff from the drugstore and quite a few NYX items and lashes from a beauty store.

First I got a bunch of NYX stuff. We do get some NYX around here, but we usually only get a few items and they are pretty pricey. I went to a beauty store in NYC and they had a huge selection so I decided to pick up some of the stuff I have been lusting over for a while. I got 2 powder blushes, a pink lip liner, a brow kit, two of the round lipsticks, two of the Mega Shine Glosses and one of the famous Butter Glosses. Now that I look back I wish I had gotten more colors of the Butter glosses. I also got some Red Cherry Lashes (never seen them around here) which were only 3$ each! I got some Ardell brown lashes for a look I've been planning on for a while and two glitters from a brand I don't really know.

 From Sephora, I got the Tarte of Giving Holiday kit. I am soooo excited about this kit! I've been using the oil and eye treatment a lot lately and they're perfect for dry skin! The palette is gorgeous and so is the blush. I haven't had a lot of time to play with it yet with the end of my trimester and everything, but I cannot wait! It's such a good value. ♥

Lastly I picked up some stuff from the drugstore. I decided not to go too crazy with it since I had already spent so much. I went for items that I can't find over here only. I got a limited edition Wet n Wild Palette (never find those anywhere so I was really excited when I spotted it), the Jordana Best Lash Extreme mascara which everyone raves about (only 3$!), two Wet n Wild singles, a Blue mascara by Maybelline, one of the new Babylips and the Nivea Lip Butter in Raspberry Kiss which I had seen a Youtuber from Quebec mentioning in her favorites recently (not available in Quebec either). Last but not least, I got the L'Oréal infallible shadow in Amber Rush. I've been looking everywhere for this shade, but no drugstore seem to have this particular one. Unless it's called something different over here, I don't think we have it, or it's always sold out. Anyway, I'm really excited to have finally been able to get my hands on it!

That's all I got! I hope you all enjoyed this and let me know if there are any products that you would like to see reviewed!

12 Days of Christmas : Holiday Bath and Body Works Haul

Hey all! Today I have a quick Bath and Body Works haul to share. I got some stuff from the winter and holiday collection and I thought I'd show you all what I chose. I got 4 soaps and 3 medium candles which were 3 for 15$. The larger candles weren't on sale so I passed on that for now. Plus, I still have a few fall candles to finish so I didn't want to end up with a great old pile of candles that are just sitting there. 

I went a little less sweet and a little more neutral with the candles this time. I chose Mahogany Teak wood, Eucalyptus Mint and one of my favorites Cranberry Pear Bellini (or is it Peach? I can't remember). I love the packaging on the Bellini candle, it's so pretty I want to display it! I love that it's not shiny because it stays much nicer looking than the shiny tops which I constantly have to wipe down. 

For the soaps the picture pretty much says it all. I loved the Winter Candy Apple Scent last year so I bought a soap of it this year, it's so good! I cannot wait to start using it all! I love all the scents I picked up. :D

Did you guys get anything from the Bath and Body Works Winter Collection this year? What are your favorite winter/Christmas scents they make? Let me know in the comments!

12 Days of Christmas : My Christmas Tree (Silver, blue and white Snowflake Themed)

Hey everyone! Today I have another Christmas post to share with you all! I'm sharing my Christmas tree! Setting up the Christmas tree for me is always a really exciting moment and I just love to see it in my living room. It makes me smile every time. This year I put it up especially early because I couldn't wait any longer. (Christmas tree on November 1st anyone? Am I the only nut who does that?)

Also, check out Last year's tree! Can you spot the differences? Obviously it looks quite similar since many of the ornaments are the same, but I have many more round ornaments now. Also, you can't tell from last year's pictures, but there wasn't enough ornaments to have them all around the tree last year, but this year we do! Yay!

I also added a few Christmasy touches to my coffee table and my bookcase. I did cute silver, blue and snow flakes printed boxes in the bookcase and silver candle holders with a mini Christmas tree on the coffee table. Oh and the tissue paper box has snowmen on it!

That's all for my Christmas Decor this year! Hope you enjoyed this :)
