@faeriegirl  That’s a good Necessaire GWP!

[faeriegirl]

I am always shocked at how generous they are with GWP @WinglessOne !

Lovely hauls! I feel like these 

masks are so good for the weather around this time of year. Enjoy your hauls 🙂 @faeriegirl 

[faeriegirl]

Thank you @peculiarzmakeup!

[CorgiMommy]

@faeriegirl those hand masks look interesting.   Great hauls!

[faeriegirl]

I really like the SC masks @CorgiMommy !

[caitbird]

@faeriegirl  great hauls! I see great minds think alike with the SC masks, I think I got 3 of each 😂 wow, what a nice GWP! Hope you enjoy it all!

[faeriegirl]

Thank you @caitbird!

First few hauls of the month!

I splurged on Diptyque's seasonal holiday candles. I can't wait to try them! The matches & perfume samples were GWP.

Bonus behind-the-scenes outtake: Frida "helping" with photo staging 🤣

She is such a goof ❤️

Glossier travel spray set & free samples. Did I need these, considering I bought the full sizes of Reve & Doux as soon as they were available and already have a travel spray of You? Nooo....but I wanted them 😅

Did some more damage at TJ Maxx...mix of gifts and goodies for myself again - yes, I ended up getting a second Burt's Bees lip balm advent calendar for myself 😂

swatches of a few things in spoiler:

Top to bottom:
PAT McGRATH LABS Skin Fetish: Divine Powder Blush Lovestruck  (it's so pigmented, wow!)
Morphe Ultralavender Glow Show Highlighter Lavender Beam
Pat McGrath SatinAllure Lipstick Elson 5
PAT McGRATH LABS LUST: Lip Gloss Aliengelic  (I think? It was in the wrong packaging so I'm not sure of the shade)
Stila Beauty Boss Lip Gloss Pink Slip (mini)
Stila Beauty Boss Lip Gloss Synergy (mini)

CVS odds and ends - the Love & Toast lip balm is a repurchase since I've been really enjoying the first one I got, and I just like to have some acne-fighting sheet masks on hand just in case 😅

[caitbird]

@makeitup305  thank you so much! 😊

[Sunnysmom]

The best candle haul @caitbird ! Sweet Frida! 😍

[caitbird]

@Sunnysmom  thank you so much! 💜

[lmaster]

Ohh the candles!! I bet they are amazing!!! Great haul @caitbird 

[caitbird]

@lmaster  thank you so much! 💜

[Buootiful]

Lovely hauls esp. the Glossier. How does Doux smell like? @caitbird 

[caitbird]

@Buootiful  thank you so much! I would say Doux is a light, almost kind of soft woody scent - it's definitely woody, but not smoky or harsh to my nose like I find some woody scents can be. I like it a lot so far! also find it seems to last longer than the original Glossier You.

Amazing hauls!  Diptyque is always so beautiful, @caitbird.  Frida is such a cute helper! 

[caitbird]

@curlychiquita  thank you so much! 💜

[WinglessOne]

@caitbird  Frida’s a very engaging model. 😂 Also, that’s a beautiful photo: the lighting + blanket + Frida = a warm sepia effect; love the positioning of everything (eh, as much as one can realistically position a cat for photos, I mean cats do what they want wherever they want 😅); the angle is great; Frida’s shadow is almost framing the Diptyque logo (I’m a fan of pronounced shadows in photos to add depth and richness); and that’s all before I even focus on Frida’s expression. 

Hope you enjoy your new candles, fragrances, and other goodies! You got some good Pat McGrath deals at TJ Maxx. 

[caitbird]

@WinglessOne  thank you so much! haha, it was really just luck that that pic came out as well as it did, I just snapped it on impulse bc she made me laugh and like you said, you can't really pose cats 🤣
