🎁 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!

I’m notorious for buying doubles and triples...especially if it’s limited edition @HelenBT! The Lancôme gloss is amazing. It fades to a very pretty stain. They’re similar to the Yves Saint Laurent Glossy Stain Lip Color 11 Rouge Gouachebut better. It doesn’t get too sticky or patchy when you apply multiple layers. That was the problem I had with YSL. This is definitely my new favorite! I’m grabbing a mauve, coral and rosy shade next for sure.

True to their customer care word, Pat McGrath Labs overnighted my missing Dark Star eye kit (arrived yesterday) and they’re still letting me keep the sent-in-error Metalmorphosis Gold kit. My Detox Market order also arrived yesterday, full of new-to-me goodies. 

Spoiler

Detox Market sample bag: 

 - May Lindstrom Blue Cocoon 
 - May Lindstrom Youth Dew 
 - 2 Coola sunscreens (these are for a friend who’s never tried Coola before) 

Other Detox Market goodies: 

 - Clove + Hallow Lip Velvet in Jetsetter (a navy blue liquid matte) 
 - Clove + Hallow Lip Creme in Damsel 
 - Kimiko Super Fine Eybrow Pencil 
 - Indie Lee COQ-10 Toner (got a sample from somewhere else and liked it enough to buy a full size) 
 - Unexpected samples of Odacite Green Ceremony Cleanser and Rahua Color Full shampoo & conditioner (forgot to include the haircare samples because I’m giving them away)

Yay!  PMG has the best customer service!   @WinglessOne

[curlychiquita]

That is awesome!  I'm glad you get to keep both, @WinglessOne!

Great haul! Pat McGrath packaging gets me every time; it’s just too gorgeous!!😍

@WinglessOne  I’ve never heard of the brand Clove+Hallow, but the way you placed it in the pic makes it look super sleek! 😍

[faeriegirl]

Great haul @WinglessOne! 

[WinglessOne]

Thanks @faeriegirl and @Kim888!

[Kim888]

great haul and glad your new Pat mcgrath arrived @WinglessOne

[itsfi]

So happy your Dark Star eye kit arrived @WinglessOne! Great customer service at Pat McGrath! ❤️ Loving your skincare haul from The Detox Market. Really interested in your thoughts on your May Lindstrom samples. 

[WinglessOne]

Thanks @itsfi! I’ll try the May Lindstrom samples this weekend. Kinda hoping I don’t love Blue Cocoon and decide I need a $107/ounce product 😄 but we’ll see. And thanks again for the heads-up on Detox Market’s sample program! 

[itsfi]

I know how you feel about not necessarily wanting to love a May Lindstrom product @WinglessOne! I try to tell myself, “just pick one to try, you might not like it. It’ll be fine.” But deep down I know that I won’t be able to stop at trying one product. LOL! 😆 The Detox Market sample program is amazing! Thanks goes to the fabulous @veronika23 for the details on the sample program! It will make my purchase way more informed... but  may not be so great for my low buy next year! Hahahaha! 😂

[veronika23]

You are most welcome! It's so much better when you can try it first. TBH I've tried a few ML products and they weren't bad but I did go crazy over them either. 😉

love this haul @WinglessOne

[WinglessOne]

Thanks @lmaster!

[angelKiss24]

@WinglessOne thats great customer service! I have that coq10 toner in my basket... waiting for me to press buy 😅

[angelKiss24]

@WinglessOne who am I kidding...I bought right after commenting 😂😂😂

[WinglessOne]

Oh, have you tried that toner before, @angelKiss24? I think Sephora’s where I got my sample from. (I keep forgetting Sephora sells Indie Lee.) I’ll do a little enabling and tell you to press that buy button, if you haven’t yet! 😄 

I bought it because 1) I’m terrible at remembering to apply toner between the wash and essence/serum step, but a toner I can quickly spray on my face should help with that; and 2) my dry skin will need all the hydration and moisturization this winter, so I have high hopes for this toner. The sample didn’t irritate my skin or cause any crazy reaction, and it played nice with the rest of my skincare routine. Hopefully my perfect toner search is finally over. 🙂

@WinglessOne, NOW do the happy dance! 2 for 1🤗

[WinglessOne]

@Luvstravel Right? 😄💃 

[veronika23]

Great haul! @WinglessOne
