What I won: Sweetaholic Beauty's Christmas Giveaway

I recently won my second ever blog giveaway, which was Jasmine from Sweetaholic Beauty's Surprise Christmas giveaway! The prizes were a surprise up until the winners were announced which was exciting. She's also hosting a Valentines Day blog swap, so head over and check out her blog if you're interested (blog swaps are always super fun!).

Here's what I won - I've also managed to try a few of these things out already!

MUA Undressed: I already have this palette and love it! I'm still undecided if I should keep this as a backup or give it to someone (I love giving people products that I love). I'm going to the UK at the end of May and my palette will probably last till then. See swatches here.

Essence quattro eyeshadow: In the picture on Jasmine's blog it looked like the quad I already had from Essence, but I was pleased to find it was different! This is a grey-toned neutral palette with 2 matte - the lighter shades, and 2 slightly shimmery shades - the darker shades (The shimmer didn't come up in either photo, sorry) . I love my other quad so this will definitely get a lot of use.

Lush Snow Fairy: I wanted to try this but never got around to getting it (I never go into the City where our only Lush store is), so I'm so pleased to get a chance to try it. It smells great, like the bubble gum lip scrub. The sweet smell means it's not something that you could use daily, and it leaves a really nice scent on your skin which isn't as sweet as from the bottle. A little bit of this also goes a long way.

Costal Scents Kabuki Brush: Yay! I need a new kabuki brush! This one is so soft, and it's PINK!

Face of Australia Once in a Blue Moon polish: This is another product I already own and love. Again, I may keep it as a backup (although I doubt I'll ever finish my first one because I have so many polishes), or give it away to share the love. See NOTD with this polish here.

Daiso Body Wash Mitten: I've been meaning to get something like this for a while so it's great I won it. It's quite soft so it'll be ok to use regularly.

Lovisa ring: This was the surprise Jasmine mentioned that she didn't show when she announced the winners. This isn't the kind of thing I'd usually wear but I can see it growing on me.

Montagne Jeunesse Very Berry face mask: This is a moisturising and cleansing mask with blueberries and cranberries. I've been meaning to try one of these masks and it's great this is a moisturising one as I have very dry skin. I also love cranberry scented things at the moment!

Daiso false eyelashes: I've only used false lashes once before and we didn't really get along (this was many years ago), so it will be interesting to see if I can get them to work this time around.

    1. It was all wrapped super safely! I had to take your advice and use scissors to open it all (including the wrapping paper because I got lazy...) The wrapping paper was lovely by the way!
      Thanks again for all the lovely prizes!

    1. Thanks :) I used the kabuki brush today and it was fantastic! Looks like I'm going to have to check out more of their brushes (especially if they're pink like the kabuki is).
