Holiday Haul Post

By Makemeupmandy @mandywebb28
I thought I would do a little post of my holiday haul. As I have mentioned on twitter, I didn't shop as much as I expected to. One reason being it was more expensive than I had expected (I think I had unreasonably expected shopping in Singapore to be extremely cheap as I have not been back for some time). Another reason being Husband and I ended up spending more time doing activities such as cable-skiing, going to the theme park, pub-hopping in search of live bands etc rather than hanging around the malls.
This haul includes gifts from my mom and my aunt. Tell me I am a lucky girl! My mom always has GWP (gift with purchase) that she palms off to me and that I very gladly accept. My aunt always has tons of products that she needs to clear or that she sets aside specifically for me. Very blessed indeed.
*I have forgotten to include a bunch of Anna Sui GWPs that my mom gave to me! My apologies!*

I think I need to go on a Project Pan soon because I am terrible at hitting pan with my products. In the last few months, I have only finished one little sample tube of face lotion that I got in my Bellabox. That's all. Pretty pathetic.
I have heaps of make up all piled up and my husband gets a little over-excited and tells his female colleagues that I can give them heaps of make up; but he forgets that nobody wants to share make up after it's been opened and used?!!! I had to explain that the duty of finishing these products lie on no one other than me. Maybe in the new year I will start small and do a Project Pan 10 to start with or something. New Year Resolutions, here I come!
