Here’s my Christmas Haul video, for those of you who either wanna get a closer look at what I got or just like watching me act like a jackass =) I had a lot of cough medicine prior to filming, so I was on one. Enjoy!

Hello fellow beauty lovers, greetings from the land of the fabulous! I know I’ve been quite this week and I owe it all to this miserable cold I caught that just doesn’t wanna go away. I hope everyone had a fantastic holiday weekend, mine was really good despite the sniffling and coughing. My family and I went away to a charming little cabin in Yosemite and had a cute little Christmas out in the woods complete with nighttime beer drinking/star gazing. And of course, an amazing pile of gifts on Christmas morning! I know you guys love my Christmas hauls, so here is a sneak peak of what I got, before I even make my haul video!

This is pic of my collective haul, it’s so big I had to back aaaaaall the way into the wall to get it all. I got everything from jewelry new yoga pants to beauty products and a high end Snuggie. Yes, I am a spoiled little princess, even though I’m all grown up =)

Naturally I got a bunch of beauty goodies since that’s the thing everyone knows I like. My mom got me the Sephora Collection Makeup Studio Blockbuster, which let me tell you is even more amazing in person. I can’t WAIT to start playing with this one! My Stepdad gave me the Stila Ultimate Color Palette -which I’ve been dying to get my hands on- as well as a Sephora gift card which I’m pretty sure I’ll be using to get the new UD Naked Palette. Oh, and did you see the adorable hairdryer there? Mom found that it Ulta – how cute is that!?

The shoes – oh the shoes! Just look at these, I seriously wish I had more feet so I could wear them all at once. The black Jessica Simpson pumps are perfect for work, while the Forever 21 heels are so hot I’m saving them for New Years. And the tan Steve Madden’s, well you KNOW I’ve already broken those in. I love them!

This was the most random gift, but how AWESOME is this coffee mug? Not only is it pink, but it has a bedazzled mirror on it! My Stepdad got this for me because in his words, “it is SO JACKIE!” Ad he couldn’t have been more right. I took this thing to work today and used it to check my lipgloss during my meetings. I can’t believe someone didn’t think of this sooner. Brilliant, just brilliant.

I’ll get more in detail about all this stuff when I film my haul video tomorrow night. It’s been a few weeks so I’m dying to get back in the game! Until then, I’m gonna get some sleep and see if I can’t shake this raspy voice in time to film. Goodnight all!

I’ve been dying to get my hands on MACs new Glitter and Ice Holiday Collection and finally had a free night to do it…wheeeeeeeeee!!! Just as I suspected, this is my favorite collection MAC has released, well, ever so I did a pretty decent amount of damage while I was there.

Before I get into the goodies I picked up, look how pretty they holiday bags are. I haven’t decided if I wanna keep this or re-purpose it as a gift bag but either way I love it.

I couldn’t decide what I liked best, so I got a little bit of everything…to start with of course. I’ll be back for round two by next week I’m sure, as there were a few more dazzleglass colors I had my eye on

Though I love all the new dazzleglass colors, I grabbed Spanking Rich (intense sparkling pink) and She-Zam (icy silver with pink flecks). I also got two Mineralize Eye Shadows in Shimmermint (shimmery mint green) and Frozen Blue (an icy, silvery blue). The Pièce de résistance to my haul is the Ice Parade Snowglobe eye shadow palette in Cool, which has the makings of one fierce smokey eye.

My favorite part about the Snowglobe Palette is that it actually looks like a snowglobe when you shake it. It’s pretty much my favorite packaging for any beauty product ever in the history of the world =)

On my way out of the mall I also stopped by Keihl’s for some hair therapy and found this Superbly Smoothing Argan Hair Pak loving so far despite the $25 price tag. I also got some Clean Hold Styling Gel, which I pretty much hate. Expect a YouTube rant on this one, as to me there’s no reason a $16 hair gel should leave my curls sticky and crunchy.

I know I’ve been MIA for a while, but I caught the flu of fail that’s been going around so I’ve been out of commission for the past week and a half. Amidst all the coughing and sneezing I managed to make a video of the most fabulous haul I’ve ever done. Everything is covered in sequins and jewels!

My new bag and shoes are so sparkly they make my wood floor look like a disco ball!

These gorgeous Steve Maddens are by far my favorite shoes I’ve ever purchased. They almost remind me of something Lady Gaga would wear, and in person the sparkle is unbelievable!

Steve Madden’s new BGLITZ bag almost looks like a Juicy bag but with much more sparkle. And it’s only about half the price. I just love how the different shades of blue give it a multi-dimensional look.

Told ya this haul was fabulous, just call me Zsa Zsa! Or Mariah! Or Gaga, whatever works.

I haven’t done a haul in a while, but I’ve done a little shopping here and there and picked up some good stuff so I figured I would share since you guys love hauls so much. It’s a pretty good mix of high and drug store items, which is pretty much how I always do things when it comes to beauty products.

And yes, that really is how I cool off on a hot day!

I just love how that NYC lipgloss photographs – the color is so vibrant. I would say it’s almost a dupe for my Lancome La Laque Fever in Electric Pink, and it costs $23 less!

As for the Sonia Kashuk Brush Cleaner, so far I like it. Check back tomorrow for a full review!
