What I Got for Christmas 2020

All products are independently reviewed and tested. Clicking on any links may result in The Aesthetic Edge earning a commission. Read our disclosure here.

Even though it has been an unprecedented year, and I have not seen my family, this was still a pretty good Christmas. It is now time for an annual blog tradition. Welcome to what I got for Christmas 2020. This year, I am approaching this blog post in a new way. I typically swatch everything, provide all the product details/instructions, and give reviews where I can. There are so many items here that I am not sure how helpful that will be. This time around I will show you what I got, provide a link if I can find one, and tell you what comes in the set, with commentary, if necessary. For many of these items, I would like to do a dedicated blog post in 2021, where I can provide detailed reviews and swatches. If there is anything you would like to see me do a blog post on, please let me know in the comments, but it is probably already on my agenda! After all, it is hard tor review something I have never tried before. Many of these items will end up in my empties posts in 2021 for a good review as well, so make sure you are subscribed to emails, notifications, and follow on social media.

I always provide a disclaimer here- the intention of this blog post is not to offend anyone. If you are bothered by this type of content, please do not continue reading.

For this post I am only sharing beauty, skincare, and body care items, as they relate to this blog. I do have other gifts like tech gadgets and what not, but I did not think anyone would care for those.

12 Days of Glow Face Mask Palette

You will notice with these gift sets that Freeman repeats the masks over and over. Let’s just say what I got for Christmas 2020 is definitely a Freeman Christmas, and I think I am set for a whole year of masking in 2021.

This set opens like a book, and you can open the individual doors to access the mask packet. I can get two to three uses out of each, so I will not use this as a daily kit. I opened the boxes and pulled all of the masks out for you.

  • Oil Absorbing Blue Lotus Neon Clay Mask
  • Polishing Charcoal + Black Sugar Gel Mask + Scrub
  • Pore Clearing Matcha Ice Cream Melting Sugar Mask
  • Clearing Sweet Tea + Lemon Peel-Off Clay Mask
  • Moisturizing Rose Gummy Bear Melting Sugar Mask
  • Detoxifying Charcoal + Black Sugar Mud Mask
  • Hydrating Glacier Water + Pink Peony Gel Cream Mask
  • Hydrating Cactus + Cloudberry Water Gel Mask
  • Deep Clearing Manuka Honey + Tea Tree Oil Clay Mask + Cleanser

Soap & Glory

I always say in my empties posts when I am talking about Soap & Glory, No 7, Freeman, etc. that I have no plans to repurchase. The products are good, but I know that Santa will treat me right each year, or I will end up buying kits half off after Christmas. So, I never have a reason to go out and buy anything individually. Now you see why! After all, I think products like Hand Food and Heel Genius are in my post every year, and what I got for Christmas 2020 is no different.

Profusion Glamourland 72 pc Beauty Portfolio

Ladies, do not sleep on this lovely product! Women were all over the comments on Instagram about this one. Profusion has a habit of releasing Christmas palettes into Walgreens that are so good, and once they are gone, they are gone forever! This was $20 on clearance for $10, so make sure to snatch it up.

The packaging is done like a metallic gold clutch, but rest assured there is no glitter. It has a magnetic closure that opens to reveal an eyeshadow palette on one side, and the other side has pressed glitters, highlighters, contours that double as bronzer, and blush.

A few critiques of this palette. The contour shades are very dark, as are the the highlighters. I appreciate a palette made for all skin tones, but I would like to see a wider shade range that encompasses fair, medium, and deep.

Everything is very well pigmented and lasts all day without fading. I know Profusion blush is notorious for fading. I find a few of the eyeshadow shades apply a different color on the lid than they look in the pan. The overall palette actually has a chemical smell, but I do not mind it. Even the highlighters are beautiful.

This simple $10 what I got for Christmas 2020 gift is definitely my new obsession. The shades really make it a one-stop-shop palette for all of your needs, and I would consider traveling with it.

Conclusion

We are at the end of what I got for Christmas 2020. Please let me know if you are ok with my less-wordy, shortened approach to this post. I am so blessed to be able to share these items with you, and there is much more to come in 2021 as we dive into everything here on a deeper scale, whether that means an empties review, dedicated blog post, or swatches. Also, I love to try out makeup and post the looks on Instagram, so make sure you are following the blog there so you do not miss these products in action. Next up is another annual tradition post, my after Christmas haul. Until next time, continue to let your true beauty shine.
