Happy Birthday To Me!

My 18th birthday was Thursday, September 24th, and I decided to treat myself with a lot of goodies. I went online shopping on multiple websites, I went into Victoria's Secret, and I splurged at Sephora. On top of all of my treats, my boyfriend decided his birthday gift to me would be to take me shopping, and how could I say no to that?

Instead of listing off everything I got, which some people would bitch about and say I'm a snob who is bragging, here is my top five favorite things I got for my birthday.

1.) Marc Jacobs Instamarc Light Filtering Contour Powder in the shade 40 Mirage Filter.

Such a long name for such an amazing product! I was not expecting to ever buy this since Marc Jacobs' products are so expensive. However, I saw so many people rave about this contour duo, so I decided to check it out. It took me a lot of research to decide if I wanted to spend $50 on one palette, but I had more pros than cons in this case.
Every time I use this palette, my face looks flawless. Contouring comes so easily with this powder. It also has a yellowish banana shade, which is my most loved color to set my face with.

2.) Nars Lip Gloss's in the shades Chelsea Girls and Baby Doll

I've never been a lipgloss type of girl. I tend to lick my lips a lot, and I'm always drinking water, so it never stays on. Even wearing lipstick is a pain, sometimes. However, I wanted to try something new. I've heard nothing but good things about Nars Lip Glosses and Lip Sticks, but I never tried them until now. I ordered Chelsea Girls online with my first order, and Brandon bought me Baby Doll for my birthday. 

Since I have gotten these, I don't think I haven't gone a day without wearing one or the other! I will definitely be getting more in the future. :)

3.) Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow Pomade in the shade Dark Brown and Clear Brow Gel

Since I have gotten these two products, my brows have never looked better. To be honest, the dipbrow is very hard to use if you do not know what you are doing, so I wouldn't recommend it to beginners. But if you already do your brows, you need this in your life! It makes your eyebrows look bold but natural. Then putting the brow gel over top of it, it locks your hard work in place. I've tried other brow gels, but this is the best I've ever used.

4.) Ofra Long Lasting Liquid Lipsticks in the shades Miami Fever and Mina

This purchase was very special to me. It is a collaboration with one of my favorite beauty youtubers, Kathleen Fuentes, aka Kathleenlights. I own everything Kathleen collabed on, such as eyeshadows and other lipsticks. When I found out she did it again, I was so happy! I wasn't too sure about the color at first, but now that I have it, I am in love. It is the perfect fall lipstick shade, and I know I am going to wear it to death. 

5.) Marc Jacobs Twinklepop Eyeshadow Sticks in the shades Volver and On The Verge

Another Marc Jacobs product, I told you I splurged. I was not expecting to get these, but as I was walking around Sephora it's like a lightbulb went off in my head. I remembered I heard someone on youtube talk about these, and I loved the swatches of them. So I headed over to the Marc Jacobs stand and swatched them for myself. I was instantly hooked and I knew I needed all of them. But there were way too many and at $28 a piece, I would be broke forever. So I got two, and I do not regret my decision one bit.
