Christmas Haul 2018

Merry (belated) Christmas, everyone! 🎄 I hope you guys had a wonderful Christmas/ Hannukah/ Kawanza/ Whatever it is that you celebrated this holiday season. I spent my Christmas with my family, eating some good food and playing the new Super Smash Bros game with my siblings (which is pretty dope btw). As for gifts, I can say that I was extremely blessed (and somewhat spoiled) by the awesome presents I got from friends and family! If you’re curious to see what I got for Christmas this year, keep reading.  🎁

Anastasia Beverly Hills- “Dream” Glow Kit

Can we just give a round of applause to my girls for getting me this?! If you follow me on Instagram (@thebeautybunny.blog) you may know that I’m the Girl’s Freshman Volleyball Coach for the high school that I attended. At the end of our season, my girls were kind enough to surprise me with a surplus of my favorite things, including makeup palettes, Bath & Body Works, jewelry and paintings!!! I literally could not have asked for a sweeter group of girls. I lowkey started crying as I was unwrapping all of these, LOL. I am so, so, SO grateful for my girls and the gifts that they got me for Christmas!  😭

Isn’t this palette gorgeous?! It’s the Dream highlighting glow kit from Anastasia Beverly Hills. It is composed of the most unrealistic, ethereal colors, which is something that I actually love. Looking like an unnatural sparkling unicorn? Best believe I’m about it.  ✨

I haven’t swatched this palette yet (or ANY of the makeup palettes) because I’m waiting to use it in a video for my channel! But if it’s anything like the Nicole Guerriero Glow Kit, which is the one that I own, then I’m really looking forward to using it, since the swatches for that one are stunning AF.  ✨ ✨ ✨

Anastasia Beverly Hills “Sultry” Eyeshadow Palette

Okay, the packaging alone for this palette has me drooling. I swear my volleyball girls are mind readers. A couple of weeks ago I was in Sephora eyeing this palette, tucking it into the back of my mind to come back to for a later purchase. But lo and behold, my girls came thru and got it for me!!!  😭 Wow, they know me so well.. lmao

The colors look so rich even though they look fairly neutral. So stoked to try it out! Keep your eyes out for my next beauty video where I test out this bad boy :-)

Bath and Body Works- Vanilla Bean Noel Shower Gel and Warm Vanilla Sugar Body Spray

My girls also got me a couple of holiday scents from Bath and Body works- the vanilla bean shower gel and the warm vanilla sugar body spray! They remind me of waking up to the comforting smell of cookies baking on Christmas morning. I’m looking forward to using these throughout the rest of winter! ❄

Engraved Sterling Whistle and Locket Necklace

The last couple of things my girls got me were this locket necklace with my initial on it (with a picture of our team inside!!!!!) and a new whistle with my name engraved on it!!! During one of our practices my whistle broke and so they were thoughtful enough to get me a new one....I’m tellin’ ya’ll that I have the best team ever. Like?!?!?!?!?! ❤❤❤

The locket is especially meaningful to me, because it has a picture of all of us from our very last practice together, the day before winning our last game. It was truly one of the best moments of my life that I hold dearly to my heart. And now I can wear it near my heart. OMG. IMMA MAKE MYSELF CRY!!! 😢

How precious!

My girls also gifted me larger framed photos of us, and one of my girls even painted me Bob-Ross inspired artwork! However, those are already hanging on my wall. If any of my girls are reading this- I love each and every one of you queens so much! Thank you for the gifts, I honestly could not have asked for anything better. You guys are the best 💕

Jewelry and Santa Baby Sweatsuit Set

These were gifted to me by my mother, who always comes thru with the accessories and clothing for Christmas. One of my resolutions for 2018 is to accessorize more, so the jewelry is a perfect addition to my collection! As for the “Santa Baby” sweater/sweatpant set, I’m so in love. The quality is so nice and soft and it makes me feel snuggly and warm and cute all at the same time. Thanks, Mom!

Burlington Coat Factory- $100 Gift Card

If there’s anything I love getting for Christmas, it’s gift cards. Although some people may think it’s impersonal, I love them because you never have to worry about whether or not the person likes it, because they can just use it to get what they like instead. Which is why I love that my Dad gets me a gift card to one of my favorite stores every year, hahaha. Thank GOD, cause ya girl needs new clothes.

And as for this last gift, I think it’s pretty self-explanatory as to what it is...

Shoutout to my girlfriend Ely who picked this as one of the white elephant gifts for our Christmas party last weekend, HAHAHA. Love that for me! 😂

Anyways, that concludes my Christmas 2018 haul. Once again, I’m so grateful for all of the gifts that I received from my friends, my team, and my family. ❤ (This was in no way, shape, or form me trying to brag or show off what I got! I just wanted to share my gifts to my blog for those whom are curious, as I do every year.)

With that being said, I also wanna know what ya’ll got for Christmas! Gadgets? Gift Cards? Makeup? 👀 Let me know what you got in my ask box!

thanks for reading, babes. Happy Holidays, and have a Happy New Year! 💋
