I got quite a few make-up items throughout the end of 2016 because of sales and the Christmas season. I was working heaps throughout the Christmas peak so I ended up doing most of my shopping online. Most of the Black Friday sales from the US were present here in Australia but was limited exclusively online. Soon after the Black Friday sales was the Boxing Day sale and End-of-Year Stocktake sale, which is actually still available on some sites! So it was sale after sale after sale, and this meant some shopping had to be done. I didn't get too many make-up items but did manage to add a few nice ones to my collection.
