So, Whatcha Buy Yourself For Christmas This Year?

Did you buy yourself anything for Christmas this year? I admit I buy myself a gift or two when I’m shopping for other people! It’s just too tempting not to grab something ya know?

What did I get for myself?

First off, I did a blind buy of Agent Provocateur Cosmic Perfume. Honestly, blinding buying any AP fragrance is a no brainer for me. I love all their fragrances so I knew I wouldn’t get a lemon if I purchased this for myself. This is one of the weirdest perfumes AP has ever done. AP sticks to a certain agenda with their fragrances and this just goes completely outside what I know of them. This is such a playful and fun scent and reminds me of Bath and Body Works Stars in the Sky! I love it! Glad I grabbed it!

I also purchased Youth to the People Dream Eye Cream with Goji Stem Cell and Ceramides during the 20% Holiday Sephora Event. So glad I did! It’s made me want to check out more from the Youth the People Skincare Collection! It’s SO moisturizing! Love it!

I got the new Viva La Juicy Le Bubbly Eau de Parfum with my Sephora Rewards Bonus! Can’t wait to try it!

I do a traditional haul from Arabian Oud every year with my sister at the start of December. Everyone in the Times Square store is AMAZING! They know their stuff so very well! With COVID, we didn’t do our traditional visit sadly. Instead I ended up hauling some stuff from Swiss Arabian instead for myself! Their 35% Off Black Friday Sale was too tempting!

I did a lot more damage but we’ll be here all day if I tell you about my recent hauls 🙂

What did you buy for yourself this year?

About the Muse

Isabella MuseIsabella is just an average everyday geeky girl who doesn’t blend her eyeshadow correctly, wears too much blush, and hopes she never finds her holy grail products because she likes the thrill of the chase so much. Her mission is to bring you super honest reviews on makeup, skincare, fragrance and all things beauty. She’s in no way an expert on the topic and she sure as hell isn’t a super model. But she’s passionate about makeup and is seeking like-minded individuals that like pina coladas, getting caught in the rain, and ones that enjoy spending hundreds of dollars at Sephora without feeling buyer’s remorse. If you’re that person feel free to reach out and leave a comment or follow me on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Bloglovin‘.

    I splurged and bought myself a pair of Galaxy Buds Live and some new jewelry from Etsy. I was surprisingly good when it came to beauty purchases. I think it’s because I indulged pretty good during all the sales this year.

      nice! There were SO many sales this year that BF and CM sort of fell flat with Beauty sales! I did do a haul during Ulta’s Holiday Event sale! That had some good stuff but overall, didn’t go too too crazy with new makeup!

    I decided to finally try Rituel de Fille for the first time. Got an Eye Soot plus two multipurpose cream products. We’ll see!

    Macy’s 30% off coupon includes Brahmin, which is usually excluded, so I bought a purse & matching wallet yesterday 😀

    I got 2 pairs of UGG slippers, some flannel peanuts Pjs, some OPI and KB Shimmer nail polishes, urban Decay Naked Honey palette and Wayne Goss eyeshadow brush set. Got great deals on all of it!

    • Isabella Muse

    I Black Friday’d a dip nail set and have bought several additional colors since then.
    A month ago I bought myself the newest Sephora perfume sampler and also Heretic Dirty Lemon which you recommended months ago and I remembered. I couldn’t wait for Christmas. I ❤️ it. Great recommendation.
    Non- makeup related, I bought a beautiful stained glass lamp, and today I bought new end table to put it on… and added the coffee table too. I’ve done enough $ damage for myself.

      Did you like it?!?!?!?! ;-D I’m so glad! It’s nice right? Def a nice lemony scent that isn’t as dirty as they say ;-D Your lamp sounds lovely 😀 Enjoy your hauls! We all need to just treat ourselves a bit this year 😀

    Good evening! Hope you are doing well. I gifted myself the new Farmhouse Fresh Organic Rasberry Radiance Mask and Berry Supreme Shea Sugar Face Cleansing Polish from QVC and the new Beekman 1802
    5-piece Eau de Toilette Perfume Set from HSN which had originally sold out as soon as it was presented on QVC…but luckily HSN also launched it and I was able to snag one for my daughter and myself. It sold out on HSN already like most of their holiday gift sets do. And the best part is everything is on easy pay…I’m a huge sucker when it comes to that lol! Have a great evening and thank you for all your wonderful posts and reviews. I’ve been following you for several years now and this is my first comment. Merry Christmas!!

      Hi Brenda! I’m doing great and you? Sounds like a fantastic haul! Let me know how those beekman fragrances are! I’m curious 🙂 LOL I am too! those beauty mortgages are great ;-D Aww thank you! I am so so flattered! I really appreciate you spending precious time with me! You’ve no idea how great that makes me feel. Merry Christmas! I hope you and your family have a beautiful one! And don’t be a stranger! Come say hey once and a while 😀

    I treated myself to the Dose of Colors Cutting Edge Eyeshadow palette, L’Occitane Almond Paste Cream & Almond Shower Oil & Kiehl’s Mini Masks Set. DH got me a Longchamp 3D small purse with matching wallet in brown color. It’s looks good to go for summer use as it’s a light brown. Thank goodness for internet shopping.

    Youth TTP is my jam! I use their Superberry Hydrate + Glow Dream Mask almost every night as my night moisturizer for my living in Arizona dry skin. I’m also in love with the Kale cleanser as my 2nd cleanse. Great company.
