But like I mentioned I do have somewhat dry skin and I really do feel like these have helped with my dry patches and preventing my skin from flaking.  1.

In case you don't follow NYX Cosmetics Australia on Facebook they posted that they were having 30% off so if you're interested head in before it all sells out. Sorry for all the short blog posts but I'm so stressed with uni assignments and... I'm planning a last minute trip to wait for it...EUROPE. I'm so excited but I've only just booked tickets which means I have a lot of planning to do. Plus I'm still at uni and have a tonne of assignments to get through. So once again I apologise.   Anyway...I really want to pick up a couple things but I'll have to hold off because I need to save for the trip :( but I may pick up one teeny tiny thing).

So...my birthday was on the 5th of March which means that this post is very late. Normally I tell you how much things are and where I got them from, but because these were gifts I can't really tell you. But I thought it would be interesting nonetheless. I also thought that it would give you ideas for potential gifts.   1. February Lust Have It box I thought this was a really clever gift idea very outside the box (get it..."wink wink"). Hmmm...Hmmm...Anyway if you look up other February LHI boxes they will be slightly different. This one came with a few extra goodies.
