🎁 December Hauls (with a Jack Skellington twist 🎃🎄) •2018•

[ZombieMetroAnt]

'Twas a long time ago, longer now than it seems
In a place that perhaps you've seen in your dreams.
For the story that you are about to be told
Took place with the holiday worlds of old.

Now, you've probably wondered where holidays come from.
If you haven't, I'd say it's time you begun.
For holidays are the result of much fuss
And hard work for the worlds that create them for us.
Well, you see now, quite simply that's all that they do--
Making one unique holiday, especially for you.
But once, a calamity ever so great occurred
When two holidays met by mistake. 🎄

 🎁  🎁  🎁 

Now, show us all your beautiful hauls...

 

...it is the holiday season, after all!

@Kim888 I love those candles! Enjoy the Hourglass Veil Mineral Primer Standard Size - 1 oz/ 30 mLit is amazing! 

Best,

Rebecca

[Kim888]

@RebeccaBT thank you! I love the primer as well definitely pricey though

[faeriegirl]

Great haul @Kim888! Enjoy your candles!

[Kim888]

thank you @faeriegirl !

Ok, @Kim888. I don’t know how I’ve never heard of Blue Mercury. I googled it and there’s a store 3 minutes away from me!!!! All this time and it was in my backyard! I need to visit this place of wonder. 

[Kim888]

@darlyndar I feel like they just started popping up out of no where all of a sudden in the last year. There's a ton in New York now 

[WinglessOne]

@Kim888 @darlyndar Chicago suddenly got 7 of them. 😄 Bluemercury was bought by Macy’s a few years ago, which is probably when all these new locations started springing up everywhere. I’ve visited one only once. I should visit more often. 

Edit: Now my brain won’t stop imagining the scent of almonds. 🙂 What other candles are in that box? And nice deal on the Hourglass primer!

[lmaster]

@Kim888 I've recently been obsessed with candles,,, almonds,,I can only imagine how wonderful that smells!

[Kim888]

@lmaster i'm so obsessed especially because I don't have a fireplace! But usually I stick to the Bath and Body works ones. These make me feel very fancy lol

[WinglessOne]

🙂😍 = Hooray, my PMG Black Friday order finally arrived! 

😯😰 = Oh no, they sent the wrong kit! I ordered a Dark Matter - Dark Star eye kit, instead I got a Metalmorphosis Gold kit... noooooo! 

🤔😬 = Anxiously emailing PMG customer care about the mix up; I’m happy to return this eye kit if I can get the one I ordered; hope I don’t have to pay return shipping... really hope my Dark Star kit’s still in stock. 

😳😁❤️ = They’ve overnighted the Dark Star kit to me, and they’re letting me keep the Metalmorphosis kit for free! As if I needed another reason to give Pat my money, now I can add stellar customer service to the list! 

And I might buy 2 more LuxeTrances during PMG’s upcoming sale.

Spoiler

LuxeTrance lipsticks in Beautiful Creature, Major Red, Strange, and Exxotica. This brings my total PMG lipstick count to 22. I... might have a problem. 

PermaGel Ultra Lip Pencils in Deep Void and Major. These are my first PMG lip pencils. I was intrigued by the waterproof claim, so I’m testing one of them right now. 

My freebie: Metalmorphosis Gold 005 kit. I haven’t opened it yet (waiting for the kit I actually ordered to arrive, then I’ll open both of them) but it contains Gold 001 pigment, Gold 005 cream, black dual-ended marker, and a mixing liquid. I’m running family/friends’ names through my head, wondering if any of them might like this as a gift—in which case, I won’t open it. I’d love to keep it for myself, but it sure would make a nice present for someone else. 

Also, December’s my birth month and Nightmare Before Christmas is one of my favorite movies, so this thread makes me extra happy!

So pretty!! Enjoy!

[Luvstravel]

@WinglessOne, WOW, what a great Christmas present (wrong item sent) and what great customer service! Enjoy all your goodies.

[LadyStark1]

@WinglessOne  Those lipsticks 😍

[StillSlaying]

Maybe I shouldn't mention this (haven't we all spent too much money on makeup), BUT PML is running 25% off the entire site!  I recently ordered my first couple of lipsticks, which were just ok.  Formula was great, but a little underwhelmed by the color.  BUT the lip liner I got blew me away.  Immediately, ordered 3 more.  Use code VIP25, if any one is interested.  I hope it works for you guys.

[WinglessOne]

Thanks for mentioning the sale, @StillSlaying! I made my PMG wishlist yesterday 🙂 so I got the code early and used it on the La Vie en Rose mini palette, plus a Lip Fetish balm trio. (I already have the Wild Cherry balm, so the one in this trio will be a gift for someone else). 

I tested the Major lip pencil yesterday as an all-over lip color and it held up pretty well to several cups of coffee and water. The perimeter—where I’d normally use this product—completely survived a bowl of cereal. Impressive! 

[sprocketta]

Glad they had such good customer service @WinglessOne  PMG has really impressed me this year.

Happy birthday month @WinglessOne! 🎉 That’s some great customer service at Pat McGrath! Enjoy your PMG goodies! 😃

[Kim888]

[SportyGirly125]

[sister13]
