Haul: What I Got For Myself For My 23rd Birthday

My birthday falls on November 30, and last year, I decided to celebrate it by flying home to spend time with all my loved ones. You can read about how we celebrated my birthday here too. :) Before going on the trip though, I decided to treat myself to a few gifts. Some I considered as essentials, and some were bought on a whim. Irregardless, here they are:

The Magnum Volum’ Waterproof Mascara from Maybelline

I read tons of good reviews online about this particular mascara, so I finally decided to get myself one. I’ve had it for over a month now, and this is the BEST mascara I’ve tried so far. :)

E.L.F. Studio 85 Piece Complete The Look Palette

I’ve also been scouting for the perfect make up palette that’ll work best for me and one that’s more affordable so that I can easily restock it when I run out. I know there are a lot of nice palettes from other brands too such as NYX but the blush and contour colors on this one matched my skin the best.

Etude House Goodies

I have a confession to make. I actually bough these items on a whim. :) The way I see it, I think no normal girl can leave the Etude House store without buying anything! Have you seen their stores and all their cute interiors and packaging? ‘Nuff said. :) I went into their branch in Market! Market! and got curious what these babies can do. I also like these falsies because the lash bone is clear, so I think this will be good for shoots that require natural yet pretty looking peepers.

I also got surprised when the lady at the cash register handed me a form to fill out for an Etude House Pink Membership Card. It turns out that any purchaser can apply for one after purchasing at least Php 500.00 worth of Etude House goodies, so I was like “Yay! :)” You can also read more about the membership benefits here.

Make Up Tools

I bought these make up tools because I actually want to study how to apply make up professionally. I just know how to do very basic day to night looks, so I thought these might help. :)

18-pc Make Up Brush Set

Pink Kabuki Brush

I’m so glad I found a kabuki brush that I can just throw in my purse for quick touch up without worrying about the brush getting dirty or destroyed. I just couldn’t resist it’s silver finish and pink ended brush. Definitely a keeper!

Nail Stuff

8 Bottles of Nail Polishes For Nail Art

I actually bought a nail art stamping kit a few months back, but didn’t get to purchase the right nail paint. Regular nail polish doesn’t work with stamping kits, so I’m glad I finally invested in these babies. I read on the box that the polishes can be mixed too to create colors you want to try out. :) Can’t wait to use these for nail at tutorials!

5th Generation White iPod Touch & Pink iPod Touch Numen Case

I finally bought an iPod Touch after getting over the trauma of being pick-pocketed and having my iPhone 4 stolen. Boo! I miss tweeting on a wireless network! On a brighter note, I bought a pink Numen case for it because…

I want to decorate it, decoden style like this case below!

Isn’t it absolutely adorable? Hello Kitty + Crystals + Chanel = Pure awesomeness! :) Ok, gotta stop spazzing. :D Hopefully, I can find crystals and bits and pieces like these around the metro so that I can start on this little project.

Let me know what you think of these products you guys. If you think maybe I need something else in my make up collection that I don’t have here or if you know where I can buy these decoden things, please let me know! I’ll definitely appreciate it. :)

Peace & Love
