More Victoria’s Secret Beauty Gets

Oh what to blog about~ I’m beyond stuffed with Christmas Party food + dinner + dessert of 6 mini gingerbread men & cocoa. The mini Gingerbread men from Trader Joe’s are FANTASTIC! I also bought the “cinnamon broom” there. It’s what it is. A straw broom dipped in cinnamon oil. I left it in the plastic bag because it’s extremely potent. I just leave it in the corner of the kitchen as decor and the whole downstairs smells like spice! It’s great and very Christmasy~

This week I finally used up all my Victoria’s Gift Cards. I bought that foundation with one actually. :good: I’ve used it this week and so far I’m liking it with no ill effects! I mix it with my morning moisturizing lotion so it’s not such a thick of a coat. I don’t normally wear foundation. I only wear BB Cream once or twice a week. Other than that I just wear a light shaded face powder. But I’m liking the foundation. I needed something that was thicker than just my powder but not as heavy as bb cream. For those days I don’t get much sleep and look really rough.

Also I REALLY like Clinique’s Acne Solutions Spot Healing Gel. Before I would use the Acne Solutions Emergency Gel-Lotion. But these deep zits were just not responding to it for some reason. But seems the new gel is healing them a bit faster. Been using their concealer to cover & treat. It’s OK. It gets cakey fast so it’s a little frustrating at times.

Ah, so back to Victoria’s Secrets gift card gets!

My vanity

all new

These are actually from Bath & Body Works! Got them 75% off with a coupon I had! I’m glad they carry some of the Victoria’s Secret PINK line for coupon purposes

SECRET CHARM - I got this scent in one of the lotion gift sets and ended up really liking it! So I bought a full Secret Charm gift set

GIRLS NIGHT - A peony and waterlily scent This is nice~ I like this line a lot. It’s the Secret Moments line there.

On the left the new scent for the PINK line called “SUNNY AND HAPPY!” This is the “shimmering & shine” version of the spray that adds a light shimmer when you spray it on. It’s a mix of freesia & starfruit! I like both the scent and the name, Sunny & Happy. That’s what I want to be at my best!

Right is their Dry Shampoo spray. I have some dry shampoo powder from Oscar Blandi but wanted to give this a try. So far, it’s too much product. It does relax your hair out of whatever styling you’ve done but it also leaves a sorta dry coating of product in it afterward. I like my Oscar Blandi stuff better~

I bought some pink containers at IKEA and decided to use them to store most (god not even all!) my bath salts & bombs.

IKEA jars

Collagen supplements!

Above are the 2 types of collagen supplements I got while in Japan. I’m going to start taking them on New Year’s Day! If I like them and feel they’re actually DOING SOMETHING FOR ME I can easily find collagen supplements in the US! The DHC ones are a pill form supplement while the SHIBUGAL are jelly cup supplements! Peach flavoredddddd

I got this new cape/poncho/wrap Sunday. It was $60, I got it for $14, whut whut! I needed something I can wear under my coat to & from work but also something nicer to wear AT WORK for when it gets chilly there. My office gets really hot in the winter so I have to wear layers. If I wear long sleeves I get TOO hot! So layers, layers! Because often it’ll cool down too and get really cold like in the conference rooms.
