Right before this exchange started I had been looking at Etsy, browsing some awesome indie makeup brands. I fell in love with My Beauty Addiction (MBA) immediately, so when it was time to write out my likes/dislikes I humbly requested MBA's HD Lip Paints rainbow collection in the slim tubes or some blue eyeshadow. I got both!

My Santa was awesome. She sent me a nice note thanking me for introducing her to MBA. Seriously, if you haven't checked out her stuff you need to go here: https://www.etsy.com/shop/MyBeautyAddiction right now. I even sent my own giftee some of the HD Lip Paints and she loved them.

I was so stoked when my gift arrived! I got the rainbow collection, which is six super bright lipsticks in pink, purple, orange, blue, yellow, and green. I love the slimline tubes. They're a generous 3.5 grams if product and fit perfectly in my purse. The product feels amazing on my lips and is quite opaque. The colors are gorgeous! I also got three full size eyeshadows in Delirious, Blue Curaçao, and Royal. All three are gorgeous and highly pigmented. I also got a sample of celadon eyeshadow, which is a very pretty light green.

I finally got to try out my new colors this weekend! I did two different ombré lips: one with OCD (pink,) Jailbreak (orange,) and Schooldayz (yellow); and another one with OCD (pink,) Grape Crush (purple,) and Hypnotic (light blue). I also used two of my new blue shadows along with my other shadows to do a rainbow eye. I went out to a ball game that evening wearing the pink/orange/yellow lips and got a lot of compliments!

Thanks so much to my generous Santa for helping me channel my inner Penelope Garcia. I hope your gift was awesome too!
