Epic Loot Attack! <3 Goodies from the Land Across the Sea! <3

Greetings from under a mountain of miniature loot, fellow rogues!

If you follow me in Instagram (*pointed look*), you man have seen that the ballet monster and I took delivery of a very special and awesome package yesterday! Thanks to the magical wonder that is the Sorceress Jaa, I was able to take advantage of  access to Sephora, get a Christmas present for my sister, and use a couple of other coupon codes I’ve had lying around to indulge in a little bit of shopping! The parcel finally arrived in Middle Earth yesterday, and Christmas came early for this rogue – not only did Jaa tirelessly shop for me in the States, package everything up and send it to me as economically as possible, she also included some glorious extra goodies for me out of the kindness of her own boundlessly generous heart. So, on the off-chance that you haven’t yet enjoyed the brilliance of Jaa’s epic blog and photography, I strongly encourage you to head over there now, and assist me in showering her with praise. 😉

 

 

The ballet monster was in there as soon as I cut the tape. You’d be surprised how hard it is to prise her out of there…

 

This post is sort of just a HOLY BARDBANGLES! kind of deal – I have another post lined up with that fab purple lipstick I’ve been hinting at recently for tomorrow, but we shall soon get onto all this epicness. If you have preferences or suggestions for what (of this loot) you’d like to see reviewed first, or how you’d like to see it done, let me know! Here’s what we have…

 

Argh! ❤ Pardon the overexposed photo – I was using a mobile device in bad light, but I hope you can see most things until I get a chance to take a better pic!

 

Most of the stuff is in miniature, because my aim with the things I ordered was to try as many brands as possible! I ordered the Sephora Give Me More Lip Set, and with it this GWP bag they were offering. I made a little Nyx order for the lipsticks in Chambord, Trickery, Sinful and Risque, and the Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk, and a pair of Kevyn Aucoin curlers for my sister from Nordstrom (no spoilers, LOL, she knows 😉 The other goodies here were courtesy of Jaa, who is my hero. ❤

I told her she could take a couple of things to try. this is her nonchalant face while she tries to tell me that this constitutes ‘a couple’…

 

I told her she had to choose. Like all of us, she found this somewhat overwhelming…

 

So! What do you want to see first? Do you have any of these items/brands? How much do you love miniature lipsticks? How awesome is Jaa? 😀

 

Until next time, fellow rogues, don’t forget to check for loot as well as traps!
