Mega Makeup and Beauty Haul / Gifts

I really wanted to share this post with you guys. This post is about the gifts send by my sis last week and I am speechless after seeing a entire bag full of gifts just for me !!!!! I would say this is the first time I got so many stuffs for myself and my sis was very excited when I told her that I will be sharing this with all of you guys ☺

Bag of gifts

Bag of gifts

Let me first briefly list them

  • IMBB One Lakh Prize Money Fashion Contest
    Bio oil for my stretching skin
  • Products from H2O
  • Products from ELF
  • Products from Estee Lauder
  • TBS products
  • Products from Victoria’s Secret
  • Lancome Lip Gloss
  • Perfume
  • MAC prep + prime powder
  • Gift set from Burberry

Bio-Oil

I got these Bio-oil bottles for my stretching skin during pregnancy and I really love the smell. It is very light and gets absorbed in seconds. This oil helps even scars, stretch marks, uneven skin tone, aging skin and dehydrated skin as mentioned in the cover.

I got 3 gift/bath sets from H2O along with tango mango body balm and shower gel. I just opened one of the gift boxes, the Sea-Marine Gift Box and almost half of the shower cream got wasted ☹ as the lid was not intact. The other 2 gift boxes were

• Sea Clear Skincare set– Mattifying cleansing mousse, Mattifying toner, Shine neutralizing gel and 10-minute Mattifying mud mask

Got 2 lip gloss, 2 mascaras one in black and other in brown. I have not tried mascaras in any color other than black, excited to try this one!!!! Also got their moisturizers, shower gel and bubble bath. Among the lip gloss I am planning to give the brown/darker shade to Priya.

Lancome Lip Gloss– Ultimate Lasting Full Color Lip Shine

My sis had a pretty lip gloss from Lancome, since the product is no longer available she got this one which is very similar to her shade. Though I had decided not to get any gloss until I finish the ones I have stocked up I could not say ‘No’ to this ;)

Perfume

I guessed that this is a perfume from the packaging but I am yet to open it. Since I was really busy with the preparations for the baby showers next weekend I didn’t have time to open this and click another pic. Will reveal this soon :)

MAC Prep + Prime Powder

I have been waiting to try this powder since a very long time. Finally got this one. Planning to open this for my makeup this weekend. I really don’t know whether I can resist.

Burberry

Mum got this Burberry sample as a compliment during her flight journey. She knows how I am crazy about this brand so just passed it on to me. This comes in a really cute black pouch and it contains travel size body lotion, lip balm and perfume.

He he Thanks Rati. Trust me I took so much time to click pics as I kept admiring the gifts one by one everyday. I like opening the bag and seeing the gifts and again close it and keep it inside as I didn’t have time to arrange it in my shelves till date ;) EL nail colors were chosen by mum it seems :)

Aarthi,

I am so impressed with your haul, but not only cause of the brands or the quantity of goodies :D but to see that when it comes to family, they always overwhelm you. Its like if you like make up they go to long ways to find something you would make you smile :) I just hope i can be this good to my sisters :)

Congrats again on the haul, on the baby as i read above and on your family very good to see that our make up obsession becomes a household craze :D
