Got a Gift Card This Christmas? Here's What to Get

Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas if you celebrate it! Our Christmas was really nice. We started it with homemade super-rich hot chocolate and Italian Panettone cake and then went over to my parents' house for presents and Christmas lunch. Everyone loved their presents :) I'll be sharing what my family got me in an upcoming Christmas Haul post.

Speaking of presents, did you get a Sephora or Ulta gift card this holiday season and have no idea what to get? Don't worry, I got you covered at three different price points. I also made an appearance this week on WBFF FOX45 Baltimore's morning show to discuss my picks. Check it out!

FOTD: It Cosmetics 'Hello Lashes' Mascara

Just wanted to share a Face of the Day from the other day where I tested out It Cosmetics Hello Lashes Mascara! The berry lips and soft warm browns on the eyes work wonderfully together, and I really liked the Estée Lauder Double Wear Light sample I had, but the shade Desert Beige is just a little too dark for me with my summer tan fading. 

Check out the products I used!

I recently received a deluxe sample of It Cosmetics Hello Lashes Clinically Proven 5-in-1 Mascara when I ordered the brand's Luxe High Performance Eyeshadow Palette (review on that coming soon).

See what my first impressions of this mascara are after the jump!
