{GIFT from High Heeled Life @Resilientista}

FINALLY... I manage to post about the incredible gift from Blogger Friend Celia M. High Heeled Life & Resilientista 
She offered this Luxurious Beauty Bag from Canada's High End Department Store Holt Renfrew...
Bloom into Spring with a Luxurious Beauty Bag Give-away was her post about this International Give-away.
On Friday, June 3, just before we left for Atlanta to attend my Apple One to One session, the mailman delivered it! 
High End Beauty Bag in leather with a scarf attached to it and filled with luxurious gifts at a $ 240 value...
It sure made me blush!
THANK YOU SO VERY, VERY MUCH DEAR CELIA M.!
Look at the beautiful gift wrapping...
Makes one's heart beat faster!
Celia M. does believe in Angels, like I do and she used this incredible card...
I was in heaven!
After carefully removing the beautiful gift wrapping I was delighted to also find her NEWLY DESIGNED & PUBLISHED

Looking at so much luxury for my skin did create butterflies in my belly...

  12. What an amazing collection of terrific skin care products. I use Laura Mercier's primer in the T-zone under my Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer every day. With my sensitive skin, I have to be very careful about what I use and I can heartily endorse both those products.

    This was really a very special gift from a very special friend. Since I always value your opinion, I'll be very interested to know what you think about each of these products. Please let us know.

    Gros bisous, ma chère Mariette,

    M-T
