Blogmas #1: Benefit Countdown to Love

Hey friends!

Stop by every day for something new starting today, and ending Christmas Day! Yay!

Every day, I'll share what I got in my advent calendar, plus some other stuff. 

So, I've been fighting off the chicken pox over the past week and a bit. Kathleen gave that to me. Thanks for that, bestie. I didn't get chicken pox as a kid, and getting it as an adult has been just about the worst experience of my entire life. It's starting to scab over (icky icky icky) and that has made me feel decidedly less than glamorous. The past couple of days, I've sat down to do a beauty post and have had to stop because I just don't feel pretty.

My mom sent me this super awesome advent calendar from Benefit to kind of perk me up a little bit. I would probably never buy it for myself which is why it made such a really great gift. The box is really big and heavy, although gorgeous, so it’s just unceremoniously leaned up against my wall. I feel like I need to find somewhere to display it.

Today is the first day and inside the box is this cute little Coralista blush!

I have wanted to pick up this pretty box-o-powder for a while, so this is excellent! It's a really pretty coral with shimmer. I think it will look great as we approach party season. Do any of you own this? Do you like it? I have mixed feelings about some of my box-o-powders.

Anyway, I'm going to go make some lunch, and then get to work on an essay. Exams are happening starting Thursday, so it's going to be a busy few weeks. I'll see you tomorrow.

Do you have an advent calendar? Traditional chocolate or something a little more unique? Let me know!
