○º○Huge Collective Haul~Christmas Shopping○º○

Hey, guys! Sorry for missing out so much, but I have been super busy with work, holiday preparations, house cleaning and stuff :P, as I am sure everyone is in this time of the year...

But today I wanted to come and show you some of the stuff I have bought in the past month, for myself but mostly for friends and family, as gifts (on the female side :D). I have bought all this with my own money, so nothing came for free :P...

And here they are separated in groups, for a better view, and also some close-ups for some of them:

Care hand cream, Naturals almond body lotion, Care winter face cream, Care chapstick and lipbalm, all AVON

Secret Fantasy perfume from Avon, Leishi black and gold pigment, Usha lipgloss and mini charm lipgloss, Avon Little Black Dress perfume roll on

Avon Zodiac palette in "tempting tones", Cantare matte black single e/s, "Fairy" metallic green single e/s, Flormar shimmery purple and Flormar light purple glitter nail polishes, Delia purple and gold nail polish, Farmasi green and purple nail polish

Elf beauty Encyclopedia "Sparkle Eye" edition (I will do a review on this, including a comparison with the "Alice in Wonderland" palette from Urban Decay, as the colors are very similar and swaps from the elf quads for this beauty book), Beauty She professional palette with blushes, Ruby Rose single e/s, Egloo shimmery orange gloss, iridescent brown and glittery bright orange lipglosses from Farmasi

 No name false eyelashes - with silver glitter, whispies, long and thick, Vera Valenti purple mascara, elf gel liner in black, Ruby Rose black and copper pigment, "Umbrella" nude lipstick

~Close-up of the nude lipstick - great color payoff at only 1,5 $!~

The necklace set from Avon I bought for my mom, with a gorgeous black and silver stones, including a golden chain, pearl necklace and black beads necklace.

~The Flormar nail polishes I bought - forgot to include the green one in the group photo~

~Avon lipbalm with melon flavour~

~Swatch of the Ruby Rose pigment~

And that's about all I bought, as I said, not only for me, but most to be given away as Christmas presents, among other non-beauty items...

I will be having, as I have said before, a review on the Elf Makeup Encyclopedia as I really love the colors, their pigmentation and payoff, but I have also seen that almost all these colors are very similar to the ones from the Alice palette from Urban Decay. Plus, I will try to find some swaps for the colors in the elf book, in the other quads elf has.

Hope you've enjoyed this and thank you for stopping by! I'll get back to making posts on this blog, but until then, feel free to send me any requests, beauty related questions or anything you have in mind, to:
