Delightfully Decadent December Hauls 2023

[JoSometimes]

T’was the week before Christmas and all through the malls, BIC’ers were shopping and collecting their hauls…

Happy December to everyone! There will surely be plenty of delightfully decadent December hauls as we all get ready for the holidays. Whether they’re gifts from loved ones or something for yourself, show of your holiday hauls for everyone to see!

Happy birthday to all the December babies! (If you’re like some of my relatives, I’m sorry you only ever got one present at this time of year… You are still very special!)

And Merry Christmas, Hanukkah Sameach, Habari Gani, and Happy Holidays to everyone!

Awesome haul! @QueenMarceline the RL bear looks so fancy in his little suit 😍

[QueenMarceline]

@CynthieLu Hahaha, I have decided to affectionately call him Ralph. 😂

@QueenMarceline  fantastic haul! Love all the GWP too, nice job!

[QueenMarceline]

@caitbird Thanks so much 🙂

@QueenMarceline, those Gucci travel sprays are great for keeping in your handbag 👜 and come in handy for a mid-day pick me up. 

[QueenMarceline]

@itsfi They really are, I love all the scents too so it was a great treat for myself. ❤️

Various Black Friday and BF-adjacent recent hauls (because of course I thought "oh, I don't need anything, and I just ordered from Sephora during the last sale, so I probably won't place any BF/CM orders" ...yeah, as you can see, that didn't work out like I planned 😅😞

Victoria Beckham Beauty

This was my first time ordering from her, I was impressed with how nicely everything was packaged.

This haul was enabled by @SportyGirly125 who always makes her VB liners look so good! I picked up 4 liners: gold lamé, copper, cherry blossom, & fig (swatches under spoiler). They are soooooo creamy! 😍

Zoologist Perfumes:

I have been wanting their complete collection discovery set for a long time, so I decided to finally treat myself. I love fragrance discovery sets and I love the concept of fragrances inspired by different animals. Can't wait to start trying these! (I was inspired by the wonderful @itsfi to try to jazz up my haul pics a little bit here - I just used some faux flowers I had lying around.)

Colourpop:

More colored mascaras! 😍 plus some other goodies, of course - liquid chrome eyeshadows, eyeliners (swatches under spoiler), and yet another eyeshadow palette 😅

BFF creme gel liners wildcat, revenge, & courage

Natasha Denona:

I have been eyeing this palette but hesitated because of the expensive price tag - so when I saw it was 40% off for Black Friday, I took the plunge. Unfortunately I couldn't use the rewards points I have with ND in combination with the BF discount (which would have been a *really* good deal), but I'm still happy with how much I saved, and happy to add this fun palette to my collection. Cant wait to play with it! Swatches under spoiler:

Clionadh:

I have been interested in this indie brand for a while, in part thanks to hearing about them from @CynthieLu & @makeitup305 . This order was quite a splurge, but last month I got some extra money from a big pet sitting job so I used some of it to treat myself 😅 I picked up the Jewelled Lite multichrome eyeshadow collection, 5 other single multichrome shadows, an empty mini palette to put my new shadows in, plus one of their nail polishes (purple, of course 💜) and a mystery nail polish box! Swatches and more under the spoiler.

Here are the shadows I got (aren't they gorgeous?) - the first 11 are the Jeweled Lite collection, and the other 5 are random single shadows I liked (because I had to fill out the palette lol).
Swatches of the Jeweled Lite multichromes (didn't have time to do the others before the light was gone):

And here's the polishes that came in my mystery bag:

Whew! As you can see, I went a little crazy...and I still have a few more more orders on the way 🙈

Holy cow! Those shades are stunning @caitbird

Holy cow! Those shades are stunning @caitbird 

[caitbird]

@lmaster  thank you! I am really excited to use some of them!

[AznAngelLiz]

I'm getting caught up on this thread, so I'm sure you've used some of these by now but I can't wait to see all the colors on you @caitbird 

[caitbird]

@AznAngelLiz  thank you! 💜

[Sunnysmom]

Ooh all the wonderful colors @caitbird ! So fun! VBB are my very favorite liners too, they’re so good! 

[caitbird]

@Sunnysmom  thank you! I've been really impressed with these liners so far!

[Mellmars1185]

@caitbird Amazing haul! I just got a VBB liner. I am very happy with it. It is very creamy and smudges out well. The Clionadh shadows are stunning!!! Oh I can't wait to see you do a look with them. I also recently picked up the dark blue mascara from Colourpop. I hope you have fun trying everything out!

[caitbird]

@Mellmars1185  thank you so much! 🥰
