Another early Xmas present

This is another amazing present that I had received back in September from an American friend. It was stuffed full of a mind-boggling array of samples from Laura Mercier, Bobbi Brown, Kiehl's, Philosophy, La Mer, Juicy Couture and even a cute Chanel mini lippie. Thank you, Taryn!! I'm slowly working my way through them and currently, I'm loving the Bliss Lemon & Sage Soapy Sap! What I love about Bliss products is that they come with hilarious instructions such as 'Apply to any part of your body most resembling the bark of an ancient tree' or 'When the delight derived from your other washing options rates low on the lively lather ladder, turn on more than your tap with bliss lemon + sage soapy sap'.

Christmas came early...

One of my dearest friends sent me the most awesome package all the way from the US today! It was stuffed chock-full of the most wonderful makeup and bath goodies, everything from Tarte cheekstains to the delightful Cynthia Rowley for Avon collection to a ton of Philosophy bath goodies! Her incredible generosity and thoughtfulness in putting together this package is just simply stunning. Thank you, dear! It was the best early Christmas (or maybe Halloween?) present ever *HUGS*
