What I Got For Christmas! (Christmas Haul 2011) | Gemsmaquillage

Hope you all had a fabulous Christmas if you celebrate. It goes without saying that the most important thing for me was spending time with my family, friends and boyfriend. I'm incredibly grateful for everything people were kind enough to give me.

The Michael Kors Watch:
(I thought it was the Rose Gold one but it isn't - oops! It actually looks rose gold interestingly, but this is the one online with the same face, who knows! Either way I love it.)

So this might be an awkward question, but through this whole video I felt like I'd missed something big. Are you and Alex not together anymore? Is Matt a new boyfriend? Sorry to be like all awkward asking about it I was just like who is this Matt person?! Lol.

[gemsmaquillage]

@catthebeautyhunter I split up with Alex last year and have been in a different relationship for over six months now. I get this question on basically every video I upload so its a bit tiring to talk about so far down the line (I know you meant no harm) but if you ever have a question like that, my personal channel is the place to go as I talk about my life pretty much every day there and try to keep this to beauty/fashion etc. x

[catthebeautyhunter]

@gemsmaquillage Well apparently I'm quite behind! Thanks for being patient with all of us, I can only imagine your frustration. Sorry to be "THAT" person!

[gemsmaquillage]

@catthebeautyhunter Its okay! I know you didn't mean it like that, you were very polite :)

I thought you were a atheist.I dont want to sound silly but u celebrate christmas in what context? (just curious not being judgemental) x

[gemsmaquillage]

@sujijoy05 Christmas trees were actually seen as pagan and frowned upon by the church until the 1800s - so a lot of the things I celebrate in December are not actually religious at all, its interesting to read about the history! :) x

[gemsmaquillage]

@MrCHINBAG I do expect criticism, but when the "criticism" is as ridiculous as yours, forgive me for taking it (and you) with a pinch of salt.

[gemsmaquillage]

@sujijoy05 I am athiest :) Most of the christmas traditions we do nowadays (trees, gift exchanges) are actually old pagan traditions, not christian ones, for example, pine trees have been used to celebrate christmas centuries before Jesus to celebrate the winter solstice and agriculture. December present exchanges are also pagan for a celebration called Saturnalia.
