Nightmare Before Christmas Stuff:

I got the Hello Kitty Compact Mirror and the 3 Scoops O' Sexy. That's all I asked for.

I got the 2 Pokemon games and the 2nd season of Game of Thrones.

Ipsy Bag December 15th, 2014


I got my Ipsy bag today. I'm excited about the products in this bag because it's products I've heard of and haven't had the money to buy. Please scroll down to see what I got and comment telling me what you guys got.

I got this Infinity Shadow/Crease Duel brush from Crown Brushes. I've always wanted to try this brand of brushes out.

Empties #5


These are a culmination of all my empties over the past 3-4 months.




 Most of them are samples I've received in Birchboxes or Ipsy bags. I haven't been using a lot of hair styling products because I work around food and have to keep my hair up in a hairnet. I have one unused product.
 This I got in an Ipsy bag ages ago and I've only used it 1 or 2 times. The packaging is idiotic because it's hard to squeeze the bottle to get the product out and then it gets all over the bottle.
