Christmas Make-up Haul!

Hellooooo!
FINALLY! Finally I've gotten round to doing this post. Wowzers, where did all the time go? What even happened to the school holidays!?
I've been back at school 2 days while I type this and gawd, I am stressing to pieces already- with 2 exams down and 2 left to go. (A lot of 2's here...)
Anyway, I hope you had a good Christmas and an amazing New Year, and got loaaads of amazing gifts!



Here's a super quick but image-heavy breakdown of the makeup-gifts I got this year!
I plan to swatch/show them properly some time/eventually, when school's calmed back down a little lot.
All images should hopefully be super-clear as they're taken with my new camera! WOO! \o/


Bare Minerals Makeup!
Bare Minerals- Prime Time Brightening Foundation Primer -Pretty dang good!

Left: "Beauty" (blusher),  Right: Original Mineral Veil (Setting Powder), Bottom: "The Daydream" Luminizer (Highlighter kind of thing)



Yay for Eyeshadow Duo's! This one is called "The Cliff Hanger"... I think (I need to check it out, don't quote me on it yet!)

Eyeshadow Trio: (Left to Right): "Flare", "Pewter" and "Polished"

Eyelid Primer! Yay!

More eyeshadows! The one on the left is a neutral matte colour called "Queen Phyllis Matte" and the one on the right, a near-blush coloured pink, called "Alive"
I decided to get all photographically inventive for a moment- here's the camera though! *noms*

And this brings us to lip products! (Still Bare Minerals...!)
(The two glosses on the left, and the 5 mini's are Bare Minerals)

Gloss from the far left! Goes on kinda pale-ish, but cute :)

2nd Gloss in- it's a buzzy lipgloss! So awesome!
On to the mini's, starting with the brightest and definitely well-named bright pink!
It goes on pretty true to colour too!
This is such a cute name, and a very nice natural colour ^^
It's a cute little rose colour with a hint of brown
(I have no idea why this pic is so weird...) Anyway, it's a lush colour!

It's a deep purple and it gorrrgeous!<3
"Get Ready".... (Get set.... GO!)
This colour seems to be a step below the "Go All Out" shade =)
Another Neutral!
This one's more of a pink-neutral than a brown-neutral =) It's still gorgeous though! 
And onto the other lip stuffs!
Ted Baker's Pink Lipgloss 
Soap & Glory "Sexy Mother Pucker" in "Fuchsia-Ristic"

A nice balm with a pretty pink-hint

Soap & Glory "Sexy Mother Pucker" in "Nudist"

Another nice balm, this time with a hint of beige

Soap & Glory "Sexy Mother Pucker" in "Plum Jam"

The final of the trio- a balm with a reddish-purple hint =)
I got loads of Nail Polish stuff too, but I think this post is big enough for now, so I shall post them in a bit!

Hope you's had an awesome Christmas and New Year! See you very very soon!

Gradient nails are a great way to ensure that your mani matches your outfit over a set period of days (depending on how many colours you use), and it also just looks pretty dang awesome. You've seen a few of my own mani's where gradients have been used (these ones below, in example), especially those in more recent posts! So a tutorial is definitely long overdue- I hope you find it useful!
