Santa arrives early–with makeup!

images Today surely has been a treat! I was expecting a catalog from Benefit, but was handed a box by the Fed Ex guy. In all my naivity I honest to goodness wondered why a catalog would come in a box. So, completely stumped, I opened the box to find another gift box and a Christmas card. Oh yeah…and the catalog too.

The card basically told me that Benefit saw my Christmas wishlist and wanted to give me some gifts! I received Dr. Feelgood (yeah!), High Beam and Lyin Eyes. If you were in my house for only a moment, you would have been dancing around my kitchen with me. You can bet that I raced upstairs to try out these products right away, which you will find reviews for next week. Thank you Benefit!

Next, taking a mini-break from posting to the Pierce Mattie Beauty PR blog, I went to check my email tonight to find an e-gift certificate awaiting me to Sephora. It was from my most wonderful friend Elke who sent it to me because we ran out of time when I was visiting NYC this past summer and we couldn’t make a trip to Sephora (but I did get to engulf a Haagen Dazs in Penn Station). If you can believe it, I have never been in a Sephora, and I honestly have never shopped online either…window shopped yes, but never made a purchase. All of my $$ goes into my kids and rarely do I treat myself. So I am SUPER excited to be able to do more than window shopping at Sephora’s online store. Thank you Elke! xo!

It’s not even Christmas yet and already it’s merry.
