So I'm still a little tired from the holidays & am really enjoying break & getting to relax. Yesterday I had shared this photo & promised to show what was in all the boxes! Santa was very good to me this year, & I am so thankful to my parents, especially my Mom (AKA Santa) for that. She outdoes herself every year, which is so amazing of her. I tried to organize the gifts into categories because I like everything organized I'm crazy, don't judge me.
Miscellaneous
Christmas Hello Kitty {Ty Beanie Baby}
This cutie did not really fit into any of my categories so she got one of her own. If you know me then you know I love Hello Kitty. I decorate my apartment for every holiday & I have 2 Halloween Hello Kittys, & now 2 Christmas Hello Kittys. They are so festive!
I have been wanting one of these so badly & was very excited to get it! It's a more wallet friendly alternative to the pricey Clarisonic brush. I was even more happy that my Mom got me a pink one, I didn't even know it came like that! I already used it last night to wash my face & it is amazing. [This was #2 on my Skincare Gift Guide!]
I go through hand cream like water & the True Blue ones are some of my favorites. This one has added shea butter, which will really help prevent dry winter hands!
I wasn't happy with the concealer & powder I was using under my eyes & how I was applying it. I have dark circles that do not go away & make me feel self conscious. I felt like I was just caking on makeup & it was beginning to show in pictures. I really wanted to go to Sephora to have one of the makeup artists help me find better products & show me a more effective way to apply them. One day my Mom & I went there, & had the most amazing girl work with us. She was beyond helpful & taught me different techniques & tricks, & showed me the right products to get. My Mom then got them for me & put them under the tree. I have been using each of these & am so happy with the results, I'm thinking about maybe doing a video to show what I learned.
When we were there I also was interested in getting a new blush, I wanted something that had a little more pigment & stayed on longer then the one I was using. The same makeup artist was again so great & helped me to try on different ones until I found one that I loved!
Aquolina Pink Sugar Gift Set {3.4 oz Eau de Toilette Spay & 0.34 oz Eau de Toilette Roll-On available separately here}
This is my absolute favorite perfume, it smells amazing. I have the 1.0 oz bottle now, but it's almost empty so needless to say I was so excited to get a larger bottle & the roll on!
Clothes & Accessories
Aerie Gift Card
I was going to take a picture of it, but I may have spent it before I could! They're having GREAT sales right now that I recommend checking out!
Octopus Earring
My sister & I went & got our cartilages pierced last year. She has been wanting this earring for both of us so we could be matching. My Mom knew this & surprised us with them, they are too cute!
Fuzzy Socks
I love wearing fuzzy socks around my apartment at school, & I sometimes even wear them under my boots when it's really cold out. On Christmas Eve I was talking about how I desperately need a few new pairs because all of mine were stretched out, we all had a good laugh when I opened these the next morning!
Aerie Socks
I am in love with these, they are adorable!
Fur Headband
I always wear headbands like this to cover my ears outside, they are the best for walking across campus. My Mom got this one at a local boutique & it is so soft, I cannot wait to wear it!
I have really been needing a nude clutch, it is one of my favorite fashion colors & I wear nude all the time. This clutch is roomy (it fits my Epi Pens, which is a must!), butter soft, & super chic.
I got a letter bag when I received my bid, but it's looking so beat up now & I really wanted a new one. I love the Lilly pattern on the letters, it's so pretty! This bag will be perfect to carry my iPad, planner, & other essentials all over campus.
Most of my sorority shirts are short sleeves so I was very happy to get a long sleeve one. This will be perfect for the winter & the bright letters will add a nice pop to an outfit.
Look Legwear
These are thermal leggings that keep you so warm. I got 2 pairs of them, but my Mom gave me one when it started to get cold out & the other pair on Christmas. I wish I could find a website for them because they are the best, but I can't & my Mom got them at a small boutique that doesn't have a website.
My Pandora Bracelet has a pink theme. I've had it for a little less then two years & was so close to finishing it. I mentioned to my Mom that I liked these & that they would complete my bracelet, & I was shocked when I opened them. They are so cute & I really like the finished bracelet. I will take pictures of it for another post!
This was my biggest & favorite gift. I have really been wanting a pair of black boots & fell in love with these when I found them. They are gorgeous, I seriously cannot say enough about how amazing they are & how much I love them! I can't wait to wear them!
Like I said, Santa did well this year! I really love everything she brought me & am having a fun time playing (aka apply makeup & styling looks) with it all. I will be doing reviews for all the skincare products & makeup, & I will be styling all the clothes I got so look out for all of those! Have a great weekend!
