Last Minute Last Day Purchases!

I’m planning on doing a stricter low buy during 2018, but I made some last minute purchases during the last two weeks and it was extremely “TREAT YO SELF!!!” It's the end of the year and so I guess I decided to end it with a bang... and a hole in my wallet. I'm also going to have some more haul posts coming up for the next couple of weeks since some things I've purchased still haven't come in yet. I'm already prepping full reviews of some of the products listed, but let me know if there's something you definitely want me to give my thoughts on!

Recent Highlighter / Strobing Picks! ft. Becca, Hourglass, and Burberry

I have so many highlighters that I don't think I'll ever be able to use any of them up, but there have been 3 products in particular that have not left my desk. Recently, I've been moving away from really metallic and basically stripe of shine highlighters and going towards more subtle or I guess buildable highlighters. I don't know if it's because the dry winter air is making my skin show more texture, but I've been loving the look of a smooth lit from within glow. Hopefully these end up on your tree as well because they're really lovely and gift-worthy products!

The Handbag Residents #3 ft Fenty Beauty, Chanel, NARS Cosmetics, and more!

Unlike the other posts I've done in this series, I also wanted to include the other non-makeup but still beauty products that I carry in my bag. I also got a new bag (Kate Spade Hayden Leather Crossbody Bag) and it fits my adorable pouch I purchased from MochiThings here. It helps me organize firm favorites that I don't plan on removing from my bag. 

I am going to lowkey gush about the Kate Spade bag right now. I was looking into new bags and happened to look through Hautelook when they were having a Kate Spade sale. I like small or medium small bags because of my short frame and this works perfectly with my proportions. It also fits quite a lot of stuff without making it super heavy. 

But anyway. Onto the contents!

My Holiday Picks!

Compared to how much I wanted to spend on holiday season gifts, I would say that I did a good job at holding back on trying to collect everything. Holiday specials can sometimes be a hit or miss for me. I've heard and purchased some holiday kits that were subpar and usually not as good as the full sized permanent range. So far, I'm pretty happy with what I chose! Keep reading to see what I got along with some mini reviews.
