My Blogger Secret Santa

I signed up for a Secret Santa event that a couple of fellow bloggers were hosting. I got paired up with Vanessa from Citron and Guavaberry. Since we both live in the GTA (General Toronto Area), we decided to meet in person and save on the hassles and costs of postage during the crazy holiday season. We met up last week to exchange our gifts quickly, as I had a sporting event to go to that evening.

She's so sweet! Please check her blog out, if you get the chance. I'd love to meet up with her again at some point and have a proper conversation. It's always great to meet other bloggers, easily one of the best things about blogging!

Look at that gorgeous wrapping job she did. My wrapping skills are that of a toddler, I must confess. So my husband wrapped Vanessa's gift for me. Yeah, I took the easy lazy way out.

I can't believe what she picked out for me! She found the Deborah Lippmann Wicked nail polish set I wanted so badly and was completely bummed when I couldn't find it at any of the Sephora locations I went to. Wicked is one of my absolute favorite Broadway shows and Lippmann makes amazing nail polishes. So excited for this that I jumped up for joy when unwrapping it!

The bareMinerals eyeshadow duo is one I would have picked out for myself and I will be reviewing and showing it soon. And the Essence shimmer powder is so pretty. I don't believe I've tried anything by Essence yet, so I cannot wait to try this. I'll post about it, as well. All of these things are almost too pretty to use!

Really happy with everything! And thanks to this year's Secret Santa, I have a lovely new blogger friend...which is the best gift of all, really. ♥
