After a whirlwind of a year, I cannot believe it is time again for an annual tradition. Welcome to what I got for Christmas 2022. If you are new here, these are the rules. Since I have a lot to share, I simply give you the name of the item, a list of what is contained in a set, any links that I can find, plus necessary commentary. As 2023 progresses, I will go into more detail on these products through blog post reviews and Instagram feed content. I always include a disclaimer that the point of this post is not to show off or to offend. Please do not read further if you feel that way.
What I Got For Christmas Haul – Makeup
GXVE Double Dippin’ 2-in-1 Color Remover & Lip Mask
First for what I got for Christmas 2022 is the GXVE Double Dippin’ 2-in-1 Color Remover & Lip Mask. I am very excited to begin trying this brand! This product is made to remove stubborn lip color, and you can wear it on its own as a lip mask.
Essie Limited Edition Gift Set
Second is an Essie Limited Edition Gift Set. These minis make a great edition to my Essie nail polish collection, which you can see here on the blog. This set contains:
- Mrs. Always-Right
- A Cut Above
- Penny Talk
Urban Decay
Naked Minis
Third is the Urban Decay Naked Minis set. Each palette is based on an iconic shade from past Naked palettes. The three palettes in the set are:
- Naked Foxy
- Naked Half Baked
- Naked Sin
Naked Robin Eisenberg
Fourth is the Urban Decay Naked Robin Eisenberg palette. I collect all of the Naked palettes, and this one is quite colorful for the “naked” theme.
Profusion
Mystic Moonlight 21 Shade Storybook Palette
Fifth in what I got for Christmas 2022 is the Profusion Moonlight 21 Shade Storybook Palette. I really hope these are good. Profusion makes excellent eyeshadows, but sometimes these sets leave something to be desired. We will see!
Jolly Carousel
Next is the Profusion Jolly Carousel. It comes with an eyeliner, mascara, lip gloss, lip liner, face palette, and an eyeshadow palette.
Lips of the Ball
Here is Profusion Lips of the Ball. It comes with three sets of corresponding lip liner, lip gloss, and lipstick, plus a potted lip color remover.
Jolly Glow Jelly Highlighter Trio
This is the Profusion Jolly Glow Jelly Highlighter Trio. I am very curious as to the quality of Profusion jelly highlighter, but the gold shade is far too dark for fair skin.
Maybelline Holiday Limited Edition Mini Eye Kit
This Maybelline Holiday Limited Edition Mini Eye Kit contains some of my favorites! I have used the eyeliner many times, and I am a big fan of Lash Sensational. I have always wanted to try Sky High mascara. Here is what the set contains in detail:
- Lash Sensational Sky High Lengthening Volume Mascara
- Lash Sensational Full Fan Effect Mascara
- Master Precise All Day Mini Liquid Eyeliner
No 7 Shimmer & Glow Set
Continuing on with what I got for Christmas 2022 is the No 7 Shimmer & Glow Set. I have yet to use a No 7 eyeshadow palette that I have liked. This one looks nice, but looks alone are not enough! This set contains limited edition shades:
- Highlighter in Heavenly Glow
- Lip Glaze in Heavenly
- Limited Edition Eyeshadow Palette
Magic Minerals by Jerome Alexander
Here is Magic Minerals by Jerome Alexander. As far as I can tell, this is an as seen on TV setting powder, plus a mascara. Needless to say, my expectations are not high. Plus, this shade is medium, and it looks too dark.
Anastasia Beverly Hills Rose Metals Eyeshadow and Pressed Pigment Palette
This is the Anastasia Beverly Hills Rose Metals Eyeshadow and Pressed Pigment Palette. I am happy to see that it is in one piece, and the color scheme is simply beautiful.
Huda Beauty Empowered Eyeshadow Palette
I did not realize how wild the Huda Beauty Empowered Eyeshadow Palette is until I held it in my hands! They love to create off-the-wall formulas, including cream eyeshadow/eyeliner hybrids, and a wet look shadow.
Rare Beauty Soft Pinch Liquid Blush 3-Piece Set
Meet the 2022 version of the Rare Beauty Soft Pinch Liquid Blush 3-Piece Set. The 2021 version had completely different colors. This time, we also get a full-size. I love how creamy and blendable they are. Plus, the pigment is buildable. You should not be afraid to use these. Here are the included shades:
- Truth
- Happy
- Encourage
What I Got For Christmas 2022 – Skincare
Olivia Grace New York Face Care Pack
Pressing on with what I got for Christmas 2022 is the Olivia Grace New York Face Care Pack, which is full of pore strips, masks, and under eye pads. Here is the complete breakdown:

- Retinol Face Sheet Mask
- Tea Tree Face Sheet Mask
- Rose Hip Under-eye Pads (3)
- Tea Tree Nose Strip (3)
Bliss
Ultimate At-Home Facial Set
I was accidentally gifted two Bliss Ultimate At-Home Facial Gift Sets, but this is a great brand, so I will take it. I tried some of these last year, plus I am a fan of the Jelly Glow Peel. Here is what the set contains:
- Makeup Melt Makeup Remover Wipes
- Incredi-Peel 10% Glycolic Acid Spa-Strength Resurfacing Peel
- Eye Got This Holographic Foil Eye Masks
- The Detoxifier Holographic Foil Sheet Mask
- Jelly Glow Peel Gentle Exfoliator
- Spa-to-Go Pore Refining 10-Minute Volcanic Sand Facial
Resurfacing 10-Minute Enzyme Facial
The interesting thing about the Bliss set is that each contains a different 10-minute facial. My second box contains the Resurfacing 10-minute Enzyme Facial.
Freeman

Erase Your Face 12 Days of Cleansing
Next in what I got for Christmas 2022 is the Erase Your Face 12 Days of Cleansing set. It contains 11 reusable makeup wipes with a laundry bag.
Profusion Whipped Lips
While this may be considered makeup, I am placing Profusion Whipped Lips in the skincare category. It features a lip scrub, mask, and tinted oil.
Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water
Topping off skincare is this Garnier Micellar Water set. I am all about the natural, healthy glow that you get from the Vitamin C version, and the others are OG for sure. Here is what this set contains:
- Waterproof
- Sensitive
- Vitamin C
- Micellar Cleansing Eco Pads
What I Got For Christmas Haul – Style
Modern Expressions Keychain
In case you are wondering, this keychain can be found at Walgreens, and they have other options such as letters.
Laurel Ring
The next pieces of jewelry are from Etsy. This gold filled laurel ring is super trendy and fits great. I have an entire guide on the different types of gold plating and how to take care of your pieces.
18k Gold Filled Twisted Ring
For more in what I got for Christmas 2022, this is another trendy ring. You might call it twisted or baguette, but it is also gold filled.
Star Gold Necklace
I have another gold filled necklace from the Mikukumi store, and it is holding up great. That is why I am excited about their Star Gold Necklace as a statement piece.
Nomkit 3mm Band
For a simple ring that makes its own statement, you need this Amazon find! The Nomkit 3mm band is shiny, gold filled, and crazy lightweight. It is my new every day favorite.
Ecowish Cardigan
For another Amazon find, we have this pastel rainbow Ecowish Cardigan. I like how the model styles it with jeans and a plain white tee.
ChainsPro 2-piece Chokers
I already own a ChainsPro choker in gold over stainless steel, and it still looks brand new after being worn a million times. This 2-piece chokers set is designed to layer and also comes in other colors.
Soap & Glory
Feely Soft
Just like I said for the Freeman products, here are Soap & Glory items that I have reviewed a million times over. I get my favorites in gift sets and cruise all year long. Feely Soft contains the best of the best, which is Hand Food and Heel Genius. I use the foot cream daily as a requirement, and the hand cream really works too.
Pinkly the Best
The Pinkly the Best set contains even more of my tried and true favorites. Here is the breakdown:
- Clean On Me Body Wash
- The Righteous Butter Body Butter
- The Scrub of Your Life Body Scrub
- Heel Genius Foot Cream
- Hand Food Hand Cream
- Face Soap and Clarity Vitamin C Facial Wash
Revlon One-Step Blowout Curls
What I got for Christmas 2022 ends with the Revlon One-Step Blowout Curls. You can rest assured that a blog post review is on the way, so I will leave this here for now. But, you can check out my Revlon One-Step Volumizer Hair Dryer review as a part of my list of the best hair styling tools for fine hair.
