Some beauty treats from November that arrived around the first of the month; well, all but one.

Stocking stuffers - picked up another NARS Mini Afterglow Lip Shine Lip Gloss Set to pair with a few mini eyeshadow sticks from Thrive Causemetics (the Q shade is a year-round go-to for me). Mini stockings are from Target; they also have mini's with initials.

It's seems it's become an annual tradition now that I pick up the VOLUSPA 12 Day Candle Advent Calendar. Last year, I switched things up a bit by opening one candle to burn each month. I'm debating whether to go that route again this year. 🤔 Or, to go with the traditional 12-day calendar approach at start on Christmas Day. Decisions, decisions, lol,  I picked up three total and made a slight modification to the brilliant @blackkitty2014 principle - "one for you, two for me" - two of these are/will be gifts, and one is for, well, me! 😅

Late post from end of last month. Cross post from Rewards Bazaar Trophy Room

Nice candles but as a box aficionado, is it a thick cardboard or wooden? 😁,  I kinda wanted the scarf but didn't look like it was thick enough to be 100% wool. I would have gotten it at the 750 pt mark, though @itsfi  I hope it's warm.

@Buootiful. the Voluspa candle set is in cardboard and the same with the Diptyque advent calendar, though the latter is thicker. The Voluspa box I'll recycle after I go through all the candle; the Diptqyue I'll keep - the presentation is one of the best I've seen from Diptqyue; I'm glad I picked it up. Same with the scarf. Completely understand it not being for everyone - material, pattern or points for redemption - but I've been happy with it.

That candle set looks so good @itsfi!

[itsfi]

Thank you @faeriegirl! The Voluspa advent calendars are always fun. I open each of the 12 candles differently than a traditional 12-day advent calendar. I actually opened up the first one today! 😁 Will aim to open up one per month.

Amazing hauls! I’ve been enjoying your unboxings on the advents! That NARS lippie set is just beautiful all the shades are so pretty. Such a cute pink deer, hope your enjoying everything 🙂 @itsfi 

[itsfi]

Thank you @peculiarzmakeup! It’s great how the advent calendars offer a little treat each day. It’s been made even more fun this year with the unboxing thread. 😃 The deer is supposed to be an ornament but I repurposed it last year (and this year) as a decorative piece on my table for a touch of the holidays. 🦌 

[peculiarzmakeup]

I love that! Very creative! 🙂 @itsfi 

[CorgiMommy]

@itsfi fabulous hauls.  I love the open one candle a month idea, enjoy!

[itsfi]

@CorgiMommy, it helps keep the fun going all year long; thank you.
