I am absolutely floored by the generosity of my Santa... as well as their ability to know exactly what I'd love!

I've actually had an amazing week – I had a few days off work, I got my licence and finished a bunch of assignments – but nothing could top it off like this. I arrived home early from work this lovely Friday afternoon to find this waiting for me!

As soon as I started to open it I could see that my Santa was an amazing, amazing person. I screamed a little bit and I think I scared the cats. My housemate and I were both totally shocked!

There is so much Nyx swag, this is crazy. I love this brand and sadly have trouble getting my hands on it here, so receiving a box full... I think I might cry, seriously.

The eyeshadow colours are beyond perfect. They're all neutral colours which is exactly what I wear day to day, so these will be put to good use.

There's an eyeshadow primer which I actually don't already own, and was next on my purchase list, so this is amazing! A bronzing stick as well, which has been on my wish list for ages.

Just this morning I noticed my mascara was running out, so the Lorac mascara is an absolute godsend!

The lip pencils are amazing too. I only own a bright red liner which I rarely have time to use, so these will help me look fab day-to-day!

There's also a few more dramatic items – black eyeshadow, bright lipstick – which are absolutely perfect. About once a week I'll go out and go balls-to-the-wall with my makeup!

I can't wait to give this all a try! Look out for some new posts in /r/makeupaddiction!

Again, thank you so much. This is way too generous and I'm really so appreciative.
