A Chanel JC blush was something I’d always lemmed over after
seeing Pink Sith rave about it, but I could never decide on a shade when I was
at the counter. I took myself out of the equation and asked Chris to select a
shade for me, and he went for the bright and summery Pink Explosion! He
bought the Jurlique Rosewater Balancing Mist off his own back, when we started dating
years ago I used to have a bottle and he loved it, so he wanted me to have it
again. So sweet!
I’d been eyeing off the YSL Sheer Candy range and fell in
love with the deep red shade Sweet Fig, so Chris chose that off my list without
even knowing what sort of colour it was. He was pretty much dragging the Chanel
lady all over the place to find things that I’d like, he is pretty clueless
when it comes to cosmetics (though he is a fan of Garnier concealer and
Maybelline Dream Matte powder!) The Inglot pans were something I picked up
myself for under the tree, I am a little bit frightened of how intense the blush
is but every time I go into the store I am drawn to it like a moth to flame, so
I think it wanted to join my blush family.
I am so grateful for all of the beautiful gifts I received
this year, as well as the delicious food and the time spent with family. As
well as the beauty related gifts above I received pajamas, Tupperware, a stack
of board games (fam are looking forward to us moving in together I think!) and
an iPad 4. Elated that I will now be able to blog on the go more often, and
blog read on my lunch break every day!
How did you spend Christmas Day? Did you receive any
cosmetic gifts as well? I’d love to hear about them!
