2015 Secret Santa & Holiday Giveaway!!

Hi, everyone! 

This year I am 'hosting' a Secret Santa!! Saw it going around MakeupAlley, and thought it sounded like a lot of fun - plus I've never done one so I'm excited to see how it ends up! I will also be doing a Holiday Giveaway - details for that are after Secret Santa. Secret Santa details are directly below...
