What was inside your boxes?!

[CantAffordMAC]

No MAC.

I got a Starbucks gift card, a Bath and Body works gift card, a Victorias secret gift card. I got these cute slippers, Ed Hardy perfume, scarf and gloves set, a C.O. Bigelow lotion, and a digital camera!!

Haha expect to see some FOTDs once I can figure it out!

 

[ImMACnificent]

Okay, can someone clue me in on what FOTD means?

I have figured it means some kind of tutorial for make up or pictures, but... Im clueless..

I am a newwwbbbbb.

Face Of The Day

 

[YvetteJeannine]

Ok...So, I said I'd list my gifts on the thread that I started..but nobody else put what they got, so I decided to list my gifts on this thread, instead. So, will list what I got here, like everyone else!

Matt (husband) gave me:

-A Kyak! This Kyak is a REALLLLY nice one. It can go in the ocean, lakes, and rivers. SO NICE!

-A pair of Sketcher sneakers

-Coco CHANEL perfume

-An OPIUM perfume/body lotion/body wash gift set (OPIUM is my FAVE!)

-A SCRABBLE game (the kind in the hard case..nice!)

-A MAC "Pink Lips" gift set

-MAC Studio Stick foundation

-A Clint Eastwood double feature video "A Fistful Of Dollars" & "For A Few Dollars More". I LOVES me some Clint!

-A box of Truffels

-A stocking full of different candies/candy bars (yeah, as if my ass REALLLY needed all that candy!)

Can't remember what else...a few other things.

From Matt's parents (my parents are in Heaven):

-A really nice pair of swim goggles (when I feel better, I need to get back to the gym pool. I LOVE to swim, and was swimming five x's a wk)

-A Coral bracelet and earrings combo.

-A cool little froggie/pillow-type massager

I can't remember what else right now

My sister Yvonne:

-A $40 Fashion Bug gift card

-A big candle

-A big box of Truffles (yeah, MORE candy for my ass!). She also got Matt a $40 Barnes & Noble gift card which I'm sure I'll get a book from

My sister Michele:

-ANOTHER box of CANDY

-A Crabtree and Evelyn set of all kinds of bath/body stuff. She gave Matt a HUGE gift basket FULL of wonderful pet products (she has a pet products web site)

-A pair of soft, cuddly slipper/socks

My 15yr. old niece Samantha:

-A beautiful pair of Sterling Silver earrings

-In a cute little purse-sized M/U bag, Samantha put: An URBAN DECAY eyeshadow, UD BIG FATTY colored mascara, and four M/U brushes!! She also got me a MAC makeup bag. I LOVE IT!!!

-A shirt she designed herself (here is the link for the site..you should go there and check out her design..it's wonderful!!) for a Newfundland rescue)North Central Newfoundland Club - 2008 Newfiepalooza !!

-A beautiful cashmere scarf

My Ex-Brother-In-Law (Sam's Dad..he always does Holidays w/ the family):

-A pair of Isotoner gloves (I wanted/needed another pair of gloves!)

My sister Yvonne's BF:

A B&BW gift set

My Aunt Rita and Uncle Ron:

$50 in a card, which will be used at Sephora!! She also made her famous, wonderful Anisette cookies!

Well, that's what I got in a 'nutshell'. I guess I did pretty good. Unfortunately, I was too sick to really enjoy Christmas celebrations. In fact, I almost didn't go over my sisters' house for dinner/celebration..the only reason I did was 'cause my husband said if I didn't go, he wouldn't go either, and I wasn't about to cheat him out of the one Holiday he gets off all year [he's a chef, so he works every Holiday but X-Mas]. Thankfully we planned ahead of time, before I got ill, to have dinner at my sister Michele's house..I was way too sick to have festivities at my house..We've had Christmas at my house every year since we got the house six years ago...Oh well, next year we'll do it at my house...I have to keep reminding myself I was too sick. I hope ya'll had a better Holiday than me!!!

Our MAC store here is owned by a department store, so I can also use the gift cards to buy clothes or other stuff there instead of at MAC (if I want... )

 

[purrtykitty]

Well, DH took me to KC so I could buy myself my own present (it just works out better for both of us that way), so I got some MAC stuff there...but he surprised me with the purple iPod nano that I wanted, plus the workout armband for it.

Then got to my parent's house and my parent's also gave me a purple iPod nano in my stocking - oops!! I will be returning one and using the funds from that to buy MAC!

 

[pdtb050606]

So I thought this was the sweetest thing EVER! My husband made this mini-MAC like stand for my eyeshadows that I don't have in palettes, it was such a huge surprise that he would think of something like this. (it looks dusty, but it's just black glitter paint) He wants to repaint it he says, but I just love it! It's like stadium seating for my eyeshadows

He even put all the eyeshadows in it before he gave it to me, he's so darn sweet!

brother-a really pretty peace sign necklace (i'm obsessed with these lately)

It was wayyy more than I asked for, but we all tend to go Christmas crazy every year...it's funny all I asked for was the NARS stuff and an eyelash curler so I was pretty shocked!
