Best Christmas gift (BR or NBR)
29 posts, 16 members
it was a pretty amazing xmas even though it was small, just the 5 of us really (Mum, brother, sister-in-law, niece and me) and the few friends I always exchange gifts with.
I got:
NBR - a set of towels, a gorgeous necklace, pretty earrings, VS undies, a box of Turkish delight, a bottle of wine, chocolates, a burner and a packet of melts
BR - Body Shop Pinita Colada body butter, 3 other assorted body butters (all smell nice!), Victoria's Secret body mist, lotion, mascara and gel cream, Napoleon Perdis lip gloss and BonBon Vanillary sold perfume, Lush serenity soap, a mango and coconut shower gel and a pouf
One of the best things was that my niece turned 2 on Xmas eve and watching her properly do Xmas for the first time was awesome.... even if Xmas day makeup (current profile pic) is tougher with a toddler underfoot wanting her face done too

I got a bench top compost bin!!!!!! Maybe thats weird to be so excited about... Naaahhhh.
I also got a mat that says "do epic sh*", a Chelsea Winter cookbook, The Walking Dead s5, an onion saver >:D, calm the f down tea, the BC advent calendar (OMG) and a hand held hedge trimmer, which I'm also pretty stoked about. It's already been used to destroy.... errr... tame... the hedges :D
I love Christmas :D And I'm loving all the gifts you guys are getting!

Trudi sounds like you were spooky with gifts.
Ringy love the sound of that bag. You'll have to post a pic on the photo wall.
amy the Jamie Oliver cutlery sets sound good. I've seen some of his pots and dishes in store and they look like they're good quality ones. You can eat I'm style now haha.
cant complain about lush Macs. I didn't get any lush this year, I went to the Boxing Day sale but didn't end up getting anything as they didn't have the two products i wanted and i couldn't be bothered with the crowd in the store.

Wild yam is kind of a natural estrogen substitute. Rumour has it that wrinkling above the lips is due to estrogen declining so I figured it's worth trying the cream on my upper lip to see if it works. When I was young I used it for relieving menstrual-related breast pain and stomach pain and it worked like a charm for those things. Apparently it can help reduce hot flushes as well.
Loving hearing what others have gotten this year!
BR - I got the new Stella McCartney Pop perfume set. Love it. Seriously there is no Stella perfume that I don't like.
NBR - Also got a heap of Gilmore Girls related stuff including a book by Lauren Graham (who plays Lorelai - side note, love that name), and a big sweatshirt that says "where you lead, I will follow" which is from the theme song.
Bought myself some new workout gear as I decided my fitness kick has lasted long enough to not just be a fad anymore :P

I didn't give alot of presents but I did get some chocolates, candle and glass pebble decorative bowl thingy, Oasis BB cream and the brush. But I did decide I wasn't going to go all out on presents at Christmas just buy my parents some expensive stuff and then buy myself my Christmas pressie. I did buy myself the Beautylish Lucky Bag.
To make sure I got what I wanted and gave to myself early, Black opium, Revlon eyeshadow quad and hd lips and the Mary Lou Manizer. From my secret santa at work a bottle of grape juice, bath salts, and travel size face cleanser. A friend gave me a diary, calender and candle.
I gave to my brother a Bulgari Aqua.
To my secret santa victims (2 of them) coffee syrup flavors, chocolate spoons and either a chocolate tool kit or make up kit.
To one of my friends a chuppa chup candle, we had agreed to not buy for each other and I saw this and she loves lime and chuppa chups. I couldn't resist.
Another friend got spoiled as we did what her mum used to do for her and buy her lots of little things to use over the year. I bought lots of moisturisers, masks, body wash, hair treatments, dry shampoo, lip sticks and a profusion face palette. I bought her son a small lego set too.

I'm still waiting on my Giorgio perfume I ordered from Fishpond ages ago - apparently it's a little bit lost! I got a Mighty Ape voucher gfited to me last week so I ordered some Estee Lauder "Beautiful" which I really love, and which was a favourite of my mother's, so wearing it will remind me of her.
I wanted to highlight my sister's favourite beauty gift - the NZ Brands 2 beauty box (over the Pandora earrings I bought her)!! I was actually quite surprised because she's not the type to get excited over beauty products but she's stoked with her box. She already has a favourite and is set to purchase backups before heading back to Melbourne. *High five BR crew for putting together a fab box*
My favourite gift was hanging out with my first cousins after 15+ years apart.

Happy New Year everyone xx
Been awhile since I've been on here, a bit slack oops lol
I was lucky enough to get a Beurer Beauty SatinSkin Pro IPL Hair Remover, so excited to try it. Was quite taken aback with how much thought that hubby put into as he knows with my condition that I always struggle with unwanted hair especially on my face and it really gets me down. I've wanted one of these for like ever and now after all these years I have one. Only problem is I have no idea how to use it and the manual is a tad big ha ha ha.
Anyone else have this product that can give some tips x

Belated Merry Christmas ladies!
I got, two BBBE boxes, I felt very spoilt! New Zealand 2, and the Summer box from my partner and my sister in law got me an Ecostore beauty package which I'm excited to use! I've only used their soaps, so looking forward to using the shampoo/conditioner and body wash and my parents got me Marc Jacobs Daisy Dream perfume.
