What I got for Christmas and New Year.

Well helloooooooo! I know I haven't posted anything in like more than a month and I apologize. I was away for 2 weeks to Greece for the holidays and when I came back I started the hard core studying for my semester finals which are still going on but I thought I should make a quick post to show you what gifts I got for Christmas and New Year (note: in Greece we exchange gifts on New Year mostly, in case you were wondering).

I also wanted to say that I had not one, not 2 but THREE makeup looks done and edited but just a few days ago my almost brand new PC died on me and I lost everything including videos, even class notes that I need for my exams. SO.... yeah :P Let's get started....

1)What I got from my boyfriend...

Sephora Supreme Cleansing Oil:

I've heard about this from a you-tuber called Melissa (channel: memphs, i think), she has very dry skin and she raves about it. So naturally I had to try it on my dehydrated, pulling, suffering skin. No more info about it though cause I will do a review on it ( i know i said that a month ago but give me a break I am studying like crazy :P )

Essence Sun Club - Matt bronzing powder (unfortunately for brunettes)

And I say unfortunately cause I got tricked from the lighting of the store and I thought that this is close to the hoola bronzer but actually the closer one is the one for blondes. This product is so big that who knows if I will ever be able to finish it since I use other bronzer at the moment. Maybe I will give it to a friend.

Essence Long Lasting Lipstick - no.03 Dare to Wear

Simple creamy cherry red. Nothing more to add. 

He also got me some smaller stuff that I already used like bath bombs etc :P no need to go on about them.

2) What I got from my mother:

Shiseido IBUKI refining moisturizer + Camelia compact

One of the most popular beauty stores in Greece had an amazing reduction of 30% in a lot of makeup brands which is cool because beauty products are already being sold much more expensive in Greece so the reduction was okay. The actual price of the moisturizer is 63 or 66 euro (can't remember exactly) and with the reduction it costed around 40 something which is the price of the product in most countries and the Shiseido site. The cool thing is that the moisturizer came in a set with a limited edition blush so I basically got the blush "for free" let's say. But the awesomeness doesn't stop here because in the holidays Shiseido was gifting one lipstick for purchases of 35 euro and up so I actually got 3 Shiseido products while I paid only for one.  Here's the lipstick:

Shiseido - Perfect Rouge - RS 448 "Sensation"

3) What my friend Usi got me:

BeneFit cosmetics: Bronze 'n' Dandy set

I was sooo pleasantly surprised when I saw this! She basically sent me a huge box fuuuull of goodies (which i never got the chance to talk about and now all my photos got deleted :P but I will make a post in the future about it) and in the box there was a smaller package that I had to wait to open on Christmas eve. Usi knew that I wanted to try the Hoola bronzer sooooo badly but I was skeptical to buy it because of the price. So she gifted me this!!!! Not only it has the bronzer but 3 more other BeneFit products so I can try more stuff!!!! How cool is that! <3 Thank you my friend!!! ^_^

Narciso Rodriguez - For her body lotion

I apologize for the bad photo I couldn't find an appropriate one :/ I love the perfume so I loved the lotion too! :) 

4) What I got for myself :P

YSL - Rouge Volupte Lipstick - no.9 Rose Caress or Pink Caress or Caress Pink (depending on the county I guess? )

I think that's pretty much it. I was so happy getting all these gifts (I know I am one selfish lady that enjoys gifts, lol). 

I hope you had a great holiday, I'm not even sure if I wished you Happy New Year, so I case I didn't, HAPPY NEW YEAR! :D hahaha. I will not be posting for a few days (around 2 weeks) till my exams are over and then I will be back :)

Be healthy, happy and take care!
