Holiday Beauty Haul!

I finally have received everything that I ordered during the holidays, and now it's time for a rather LARGE haul!
*All items were purchased on or before December 31st. My Project 10 Pan began on January 1st! I promise, there is no cheating going on here!*

Some of the items were given to me as gifts, while other were purchased with money I received for Christmas/my birthday. And of course, there are some freebies in here too! 

These are the items I received as Christmas gifts from my mother! 

• Pacifica Vanilla Set: This came with a 2.5 oz. Island Vanilla body butter as well as Vanilla Hibiscus lip balm. The lotion is super moisturizing and smells like sweet vanilla. It's perhaps a bit sweeter than I typically go for, but I find it surprisingly pleasant!
• Neutrogena Visibly Even Foaming Cleanser: I had mentioned that I wanted to try the moisturizer, but my mother surprised me with the matching cleanser! I was pretty nervous about trying it because I tend to research products pretty heavily before buying them, especially when it comes to skincare. But the reviews for this are pretty good and I've been using it since Christmas and it's pretty nice!
• Neutrogena Visibly Even Daily Moisturizer SPF 30: I am running low on my Origins Vitazing (review coming soon!) and wanted to find a cheaper alternative. I have a lot of uneveness and blotchiness which this moisturizer is supposed to help with and I love that it has SPF 30!

These are the gifts I bought myself (with the exception of the foundation which I accidentally put in the wrong picture; it was a birthday gift from my mother!).

• Befine Exfoliating Cleanser: This was widely sampled in the Birchbox prior to my first month and it was one of the products that made me want to sign up! It sounded as though everyone loved it and I figured why not sign up for a service like Birchbox that could introduce me to products like this! I have used this twice and I can't wait to do a full review for you guys!
• La Roche-Posay Toleraine Riche: I also wanted to purchase a moisturizer for nighttime and I've always really wanted to try La Roche-Posay, so I figured why not give this a try! I am still using my current nighttime moisturizer, but I'm excited to see how this works for my skin.
• Bare Minerals Original Foundation in Medium Tan: I have sampled this a few times through those free little trial sets that Sephora offers periodically and I loved it! So I asked my mom for a full-sized jar for my birthday and she was kind enough to get it for me.
• Kiehl's Creamy Eye Treatment with Avocado: I've heard that this is an amazing moisturizing eye cream, so I wanted to check it out for myself. This is another product I plan on reviewing soon and (spoiler alert) I'm really glad I bought it!
• L'Occitane Travel Sized Foot Cream: I had a coupon to get a free hand cream, so I decided why not try the foot cream too? This is a really soothing, refreshing cream that smells like mint and lavender.

Last but not least: FREEBIES! My mom ordered the Bare Minerals through Sephora, so of course I had to get samples, and I also had a few coupon codes for other freebies!

• Laura Mercier Foundation Primer in Radiance: Sephora currently has a coupon code (RADIANCE) that allows you to get a deluxe sample of this new primer. I have never tried a Laura Mercier primer but I'm really excited to (once I finish the ones on my list for P10P, of course!)
• Cartier Baiser Volé Perfume: This is a lovely, light floral perfume. A tiny bit powdery, but it mostly smells like lilies, which I love.
• Juicy Couture Viva La Juicy Perfume: I love this scent! Honestly, I just absolutely adore it.
• Ole Henriksen Truth Serum: A brightening Vitamin C serum that is supposed to reveal brighter, younger looking skin.
• L'Occitane Precious Eye Balm: This is an anti-aging eye cream that is supposed to hydrate and plump to reduce fine lines.
• Eminence Cinnamon and Paprika Body Lotion: This sample totally caught me by surprise (it came with the La Roche-Posay moisturizer) and seemed like something I wouldn't like, but it's actually great! It smells like cinnamon and leaves your skin feeling super soft!
• L'Occitane Trial Size Hand Cream: The best hand cream I've ever used. Your hands never feel greasy, it's lightweight and it smells like baby wipes (which is absolutely not a bad thing!). L'Occitane often has promotions to allow you to get a free hand cream.

That's everything! It's kind of a lot, I know, but I had the urge to stock up on skincare, as many of my products were running out, before I started Project 10 Pan and there were a lot of products that I really just wanted to try out! Look out for more in-depth review on many of these products in the future!
