SPOILED by the Best Friend!!

I am just over the moon right now, I just got back from my best friend's house (Lisa) and she totally spoiled me! My birthday was about two weeks ago but because of school stress we weren't really able to see each other. So today after my exam I headed over to her place for a little excitement.  I am so thankful to her and am  just super duper excited to try everything out. The fact that I also finished 2 of my 3 exams is also I relief. I love watching birthday videos on Youtube so I thought I'd share a couple pictures with you all. I'm sure you can still find a lot of the items shown, so if your looking to get one of your fellow beauty junkies a gift maybe something in here can be of inspiration. 

Items from all different areas, I absolutely love variety!
Ahh I'm just so excited haha! Ever since I heard about the Back to Basics palette (Quo) I have been obsessed.  I actually went to Shoppers a couple times but I had a slight feeling that my dear  friend might have gotten it for me so I remained patient (although it was SOO hard). I am a huge lover of the Korres lip butter in "Jasmine" so how awesome is it that I get a back up plus two new colors?! My mom actually really liked the "Wild Rose" so I may just have to get her a set or a single one for her birthday coming up. All the stuff here whether or not I mentioned to Lisa that I wanted were items that I'd been meaning to try for such a long. It's awesome receiving them as a gift so you can try it out and then treat yourself if you really like it.

..Lisa you went absolutely above and beyond, every little random thing I mentioned you got for me, and I am soo grateful!

So next I got some bath and body treats from LUSH! I had gone to Lush a while back with another friend and had told Lisa how much I loved the snow fairy shower gel and what did I get..just that!. It's the perfect winter sweet scent, on top of that she also threw in a beautiful bath melt I believe. Have you guys tried either the shower gel or the bath melt? 
Here is the assortment of Nail and Hand goods..
I I have been dying to get Turquoise and Cacos's  and a light lavender color and now I have one. I think Turquoise goes so well with Set in stones and every since I saw both colors being paired together I was just in love. The O.P.I creams are absolutely adorable, they smell delicious and they make such cute stocking stuffers! This is actually my first Cake hand cream and lets just say that I'm going to have to buy another when this one is done. It comes out like a normal cream  ( not to hick or wet) but it's ability to moisturize is lovely, the smell is also soooo nice!!

Of course she just had to throw in a candle! This is such a nice candle, even without it being lit my room is smelling heavenly. It's sweet with a tinge of cinnamon, right up my alley.

I can't wait to test all this stuff out!! So many lip products, cheek products and eye products to choose from. YAY
