My lovely Santa got me :drumroll: the white, black, and red chevron bag I have been searching ages for, filled with a hoard of benefit deluxe minis. Eeeekk!!! I'm so excited. I have literally been searching for this bag since I joined MUT earlier in the year. It was one of the first things I placed on my searching for section of my trade list. There are no words to describe how loud I squealed when I opend the package and saw the chevron bag inside. My gift could have simply been the bag by itself and I would have been over the moon.

Inside was an array of my favorite Benefit products. Did I mention this somewhere? I don't remeber. But seriously, my HG mascara and pore minimizing primer. Plus the most adorable benetint. Yay!

After I received my package, my Santa Elf messaged me to let me know she had sent it to arrive on Saturday, my daughter's birthday, because she knew how special of a day for me. This gesture alone is worth it's weight in gold. When I was little my grandparents raised me for a couple of years and my grandpa meant the world to me. Having my daughter share his birthday means a lot to me and the fact that you considered this and tried to send the package to arrive on that day makes me love it even more. A thousand times thanks Santa, you are amazing!

Thats super sweet! nice goodies.

 
My amazing secret santa was @@bonita22 !

I got my gift this evening and just finished opening it. It's all perfect even though she completely spoiled me. I love it all, and receiving it made my whole day. Thank you so much bonita22!

Obviously I had to take pictures.

Isn't this penguin wrapping paper adorable?

Cozy slipper socks and a cute Santa filled with chocolate. I am already wearing the socks and the Santa is going to work with me tomorrow. My desk could use a little holiday spirit.

A book to read by the fire. I am a total bookworm, so I was really excited to see this. It sounds like something I will enjoy.

Smashbox Photo Finish Eye Primer (so excited to try this), Diorshow Mascara (and this!), Hourglass lipgloss and face primer, and Benefit Sugarbomb gloss. I've never tried anything from Hourglass before. The Benefit gloss is one of my favorites ever, but I lost mine so this was a very welcome find.

Sephora mask, MUFE Aqua Eyes pencil, Anastasia brow gel, Cargo blush, Josie Maran Light Argan Oil. I have been wanting to try a Cargo blush forever. I had a bottle of Josie Maran Argan Oil last winter and it saved my skin, but it's too heavy for daytime. I am really looking forward to testing out the light version. And everything else :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Philosophy Loveswept lotion, two gorgeous Julep polishes, hand cream, wipes, and champagne scented bubble bath. Both polishes are perfect for the holidays. The cute hand cream will be joining the chocolate filled Santa on my desk. I already tried the lotion, and I really like it. I love wipes, and I can't wait to take a champagne bubble bath to relax away some holiday induced stress.

Julep eyeliner and eye primer, NYX Love in Paris palette, and FCS Belle Whipped Cream. I can never try enough eyeliners or primers and I love neutrals. And OMG I was so excited to find Belle Whipped Cream. I have wanted to try Belle since the Magic is Coming collection came out and I didn't think I would ever get to.

HoG Bubbling Scrub in Elevenses, Pumpkin Butter in Honeysuckle Lemon Curd, Three Treasures perfume oil, and FCS Hair Flip and Unicorn Farts Samples. I don't even know what to say. It's all seriously amazing.

Philosophy Snow Angel Shower Gel. This is the prettiest shower gel I have ever seen, and the scent matches it. I will be putting this in my shower right away. bonita22 said that it's one of her favorite parts of winter. I can see why!

bonita22 - Thank you again for putting the time, effort, and thought into this gift. I really like and appreciate everything, and once again this exchange is a bright spot in my holiday season.

 
Oh my gosh I came home to so many great reveals! :eek: /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I love how wonderful a job everyone has done with their shopping, and how happy all the giftees are - it's like I'm a crazy Christmas vampire feeding on your happiness! :spidyhead: (I know, it's Spiderman, forgive me.)

ETA: Should mention I had on outpatient procedure done today, not sure all the anesthesia has worn off... I'm a bit crazy right now, I probably shouldn't be online but my hubby had to run out so... I'm unsupervised muahaha. My typing has improve though! Very impressive!
