First off, OH MY GOSH, I don't even know where to begin!!! My SS is the best. EVER. Hands-down, no argument there, THE BEST. I cannot express how truly grateful I am that she took the time to find out more about me and pick out a gift that not only is AWESOME, but also EXTREMELY thoughtful. {insert happy tears}

When I first signed up for this gift exchange, I thought it would be a long shot but was worth doing. My husband is the avid Redditor in our household, and he's done several gift exchanges (in which I've always helped pick out the stuff) and he has received some pretty great gifts in return, too. He saw this makeup exchange and thought of me, and convinced me to do it (which didn't take much). I was so thrilled to see when the recipient of my gift received what I picked out for her, and posted pictures in excitement...that was totally worth signing up for this exchange. It's always a little saddening when you don't receive something in return, but seeing that excitement made up for it and I didn't care. My husband, on the other hand, did and told me about being able to sign up for a rematch. Long story short, he finally talked me into it, and less than a few hours after hitting that button, my new SS messaged me. I was in shock, still am, that she wanted to know more about my likes/dislikes.

And HOLY COW did she nail it!! She even lied to me, lol, which I'm totally fine with!! :) I told her the Naked 2 palette was one I originally had my eyes on, but that I bought the 3 (my biggest makeup splurge, ever) because they were sold out- and I am in love with the 3 now so it didn't even matter! She told me the UDN 2 pallet was sold out everywhere too...but what do you know, it somehow ended up in my box.

I wouldn't even expect someone who doesn't know me, or does for that matter haha, to spend that much on me. But she did. AND THERE WAS MORE. She included a set from Tarte (her favorite brand) that has mascara, lip luster and a CUTE little clutch. Oh, and an UD lip pencil- as if she hadn't already given me enough, lol, which will be so much fun to play with as I haven't really tried much lip wise. And it all came wrapped in a pretty package with a bow...seriously, you did TOO MUCH for me and I am forever grateful.
