Christmas Recap + Gifts I Got & Gifts I Gave

Hi there! So Christmas was Wednesday. I spent time with family, ate some food, exchanged gifts - the norm. Mark and I actually exchanged our gifts on Christmas Eve so that we could take our time since Christmas day was pretty filled up.

Vitabath Bath & Body Products

Press Samples 

Lately, I've been using Vitabath products for body wash and lotion. I got a couple samples at the iFabbo conference and then I was sent a bath set to try out from the company.

Butter London Wallis

Purchased by me

I just got this gorgeous polish in my recent Ulta haul. I ordered it online, thinking it was unique and pretty. Then, when I opened my order and saw it, I realized it was even more enchanting than I thought. I'm pretty certain that it has become my favorite polish.

Ulta Haul (Black Friday & Cyber Monday) + Video

Purchased by me

Tis the season of extraordinary deals. Every year, I take advantage of the low prices that come with Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Although, this year I was a little disappointed that so many stores opened for Black Friday while many of us were enjoying family time on Thanksgiving. Nevertheless, I still got some good deals. This haul is from Ulta's Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales.

Bare Minerals Kiss & Tell Set

Purchased by me

On my birthday last month, I made a stop at Ulta. I knew I wanted to get something, but I wasn't sure what I wanted. I came across the Bare Minerals area and I noticed the shelf full of value kits. I wanted all of them of course (who wouldn't?!), but I limited myself to just one. I chose the Kiss & Tell set because I usually gravitate toward eye kits.  This time, I was all about the lips!

New Studio Lights from Amazon

Purchased by me

As a blogger, I'm always trying to improve my lighting and picture quality. Now that I'm making videos too, I really need some good lighting, especially in Winter. I put a light set on my Christmas wishlist on Amazon and Mark got it for me. He gave it to me early since the box was wayyy too big to wrap or put under the tree. I've been playing around with them for the past couple of days and I notice a big difference already.

Video: Birthday Haul & November Ipsy Bag
