The holidays are nearly upon us! Only a couple more weeks and we will be all “Sighhhh, wasn’t Christmas great?” Well, if we’re lucky. If not, we’ll probably be all “Thank goodness that’s over and we can move on with our lives.” I’m usually a mixture of both, TBH. So this Want It Wednesday is a mixture of fun gift stuff and totally normal things. Onward!
First Aid Beauty – Facial Radiance Pads ($30.00)
First Aid Beauty’s Ultra Repair Cream is my HG facial moisturizer and I use it twice a day. I saw these pads in Sephora a couple of months ago and have been meaning to pick them up but that $30 price tag has me waiting for another good sale. I have read that you can cut the pads in half to extend the life of your bottle, which brings you to $0.25 per swipe, which is slightly less outrageous. But if it smoothes out the texture of my skin? Worth it.
Sephora Collection – Cream Lip Stain in Marvelous Mauve ($14.00)
OK, I’m not 100% married to this in particular. I haven’t had much luck with a long-lasting lip color that didn’t dry my lips out, but I’ve read good things about this. The main reason that I seldom wear lip color is that I just can’t be bothered to reapply every time the wind blows. Like the rest of my makeup, I like to set it and forget it. But I want to get some color on these lips. For $14, I’m willing to give it a try. OH also, they just released like a crap-ton of new colors, so might be extra worth it to check out.
Ikea – JÄTTESTOR Soft Elephant Toy ($14.99)
I want to get this giant soft elephant for my son for Hanukkah. I know he won’t remember anything about this holiday season (or the next one… and probably the one after that) and I should just put some money in his college fund and call it a day, but thinking about him snuggling with this giant elephant hugs my heart and I have to make it happen. Look at it! It’s so big!
Mattel – Ghostbusters Jillian Holtzman 6″ Figure ($19.99?)
I have the other 3 lady Ghostbusters and could NOT find this one in-store while they were being unfairly clearanced out. Why? I’m not sure. But I need her to complete my collection because screw everyone who said this movie sucked and that women aren’t funny. I have an extra Erin Gilbert and I’m willing to trade.
Some Socks with Grips on the Bottom like These ($12.99)
I am firmly anti-sock. I hate socks. I hate wearing them to bed, I hate wearing them to watch TV, I hate wearing them out in public. I do not like them in a box or with a fox, either. But we have wood floors in our house and I’ve been sliding around like a moron since the weather turned chilly and I started wearing socks again. Further, I have nightmare visions on the regular of slipping on the floor while holding the baby. Seriously. So I need some grippy socks to help soothe my jangled nerves.
