Put Your Make-Up On!

I am blessed and appreciative for everything I get for the holiday seasons, but let's just face it, we all get those gifts that are like... "gee thaaanks aunt Linda, I'll wear that uhh,, NEVER!" So instead of boring you with what little I did get, I just want to show you what really sparked my eye. 

This is actually mostly what I got in my stocking, which seems kind of shocking as I usually have a big thing under the tree, but not this year, and I can't tell you why just yet!

Let's start with the kitchen-esque things first.   I got some silicone cupcake molds.  One  of my hobbies when getting with friends is baking up a storm, and we do it very nicely!  Now we can get just that much more creative when having a bake-a-thon.
I got Milk Straws by Quick Milk.  There are 5 in a package and basically what it does is transform milk into chocolate milk via the straw.   This is great for little ones who don't particular enjoy milk alone, oh and also me ^.^ . It's a neat gift idea nonetheless that's for sure.  Unfortunately the straw only allows one use but it still makes for a pretty cool substitution to the normal. Also, I can't just ignore the camera feature that's got Stitch all crazy looking. 
This is the one that beat Christmas.  Self explanatory really, this catula is life.  Cats are life.

So if you have a collector in the family and don't know what to get them, this is the perfect gift!  My mom seems to think that these coin collections are going to be worth more than what was paid for them a few years down the road, she tends to get them annually for us.  The snowman one is a coin made of 25$ worth of silver.  The book type is the 2014 coin collection.  These are just basically keepsakes and what I like to think veering away from the traditional presents people may get.

I got some peach soap from Bath and Body Works.  I love peach scented things as well so there's no mistake on this one.  Also got some spray mist for when I need a little refresher and pick me up, always cool to have on a busy day!

I got this little neutral palette from Icing which I've never tried any of their products out yet but it looks interesting nonetheless.  I will probably just put this in my bag for during mid-day when my makeup is looking a little dull and needs to be touched up.  I don't mind mixing my colors as long as it looks half alright. 

Who doesn't love samples especially from a really awesome company!  I got these Philosophy samples, a mixture of creams and a couple of fragrances.  Who knows, I might end up grabbing some full sized of these.

Can we just admire the awesomeness of this bag for a second!!! yeah, it's pretty cool.  Inside I got a bunch of mini travel goodies.  My favorite are the scope outlast toothbrushes pre-done with toothpaste and toothpicks on the other end!  Pretty cool concept to me. There's also a pretty floral headband in the mix as well.
