Birthday/Small Drugstore Haul!

I feel like im so late with all these posts lol So my birthday was last week, December 2nd, and i got a few goodies! Also a few days before that i got some stuff, not too many, from Walgreens.
For my birthday i got some presents from my family and some things i got for myself with money i got. Here's a picture of everything i got...
From my mom i got the Wizard of Oz gift set. This to me was the most exciting gift because this movie means a lot to me. It used to be my grandfathers favorite movie and i used to watch it with him all the time. He passed away a few years ago and the clear memories i have of him from when i was a child are about this movie, so it means the world to me. The gift set itself is amazing! It has the dvd with 4 discs including the movie, commentaries and all sorts of documented things. A booklet about the movie and the actors AND (my favorite) a gorgeous watch! (i will take pictures of it and update this post)

Next i got a brush set that i wanted for soooooo long from Costco. It's only $19.99 and the quality of the brushes is amazing for the price! I'll be doing a separate post about these and go into more detail with lots of pictures and my personal review and opinion on it (ok FTC?)

Next i got the new Juicy Couture perfume Couture Couture. I LOVE this! It smells amazing i absolutely love it. It lasts a really long time and the set included a jar of the lotion which smell just like the perfume and a shower gel which i use in the shower. so i smell like this ALL the time haha

Then i went to sephora and mac and of course got some makeup. From sephora i got a Sephora Sculpting Disc because i've been wanting this for like the longest time ever! I didnt even realize it had so much product till i opened it haha its really great im glad i got it. it was only $24 and im saying "only" because for the price you get a lot of product and its great quality. Sephora also gave me the free birthday set that they give out which includes the 3 tiny glosses. Loved these so thank you Sephora! At mac i got a lipstick, Creme D'Nude, finally! I've been lusting for the perfect nude lipstick and i finally got it! I also asked them for a sample of the studio fix foundation because im trying to find my color. i got it in NC37. I dont know if im a big fan of these Studio Fix foundations lol or maybe its just the color i dont know lol

And finally, from my daddy i got a starbucks gift card lol he knows im obsessed with Starbucks and didnt know what else to get me that was just from him, so he got me this. Love it!

Now for the things i got from Walgreens
I got two nailpolishes and tweezers. lol Doesn't sound much but i really needed new colors and new tweezers because i lost mine and it was an emergency to get new ones lol The nailpolishes i got i really love. They're called Sinful Colors Professional and they're only $1.99! For the price they're really good i like them. I got a pink/coral one that reminded me of barbie colors (LOL!) in Beautiful Girl and a glittery clear one, Opal Glitter, because i thought it was gorgeous. I could wear it by itself or over the Beautiful Girl one. I might get some more of these soon. Now for the tweezers they had a good sale for $4.99 and i thought why not get it now. It's by Revlon and they're the diamond grip tweezers that came with a little pouch. I honestly do not know why they call it the diamond grip tweezers but they're really good. They grab the hair and pull it out directly without hurting me by pulling the skin or missing hairs that are hard to get lol Plus the little pouch is so cute and handy if i want to put it in my purse i can easily do that so i love it.
That's all for my presents/haul. =)

My November Favorites!

I finally got the chance to get together all the things i used in the month of November. I have to start remembering writing down or setting aside the things i use for the month because i forget haha. Some of these things i used everyday some every now and then but either way i can say i've reunited with some lol
So lets get started...

1) Ulta Body Swirl in Cupcake - i've been absolutely addicted to this! I love how it leaves my skin super soft and it gives me this nice glow because it has soft sparkles in it. It smells very sweet so if you dont like cupcake/vanilla-ish scents then this might not be your cup of tea lol Nonetheless i've been using it every single day this past month
2) Maybelline Define-a-brow in Dark Brown - I've had this for a while but haven't really used it much because i've been filling my eyebrows with a Wet'n'wild pencil. I decided to give this one another chance and i absolutely love it. I used it everyday to fill in my brows. It goes on very softly and it lets you control the intensity of the color you want. Also because it's to small you can really get in between the hairs and control it easier.
3) Mac Honey salve - so i got this with the Honey collection that was out this past summer. I've been using it a lot as a lip treatment bc my lips get so dry and gross during the cold season and this really helps with keeping them soft and healthy. I love it i wish i had a backup =/
4) Mac On a mission blush - this again came out this past summer with the Style Warrior collection. I haven't been using it much until now because it matches with the season for me lol its a pretty shimmery mauve color and its perfect for my cheeks this season
5) Urban Decay Blush brush - i've had this for like 3 years and i love using it with the blush. it puts on just the right amount of blush and i can easily swipe it on my cheek and blend it. The brush isn't too soft or too hard. It works perfectly to blend everything softly without overdoing it or underdoing it
6) Studio35 Duo brush - this is another brush i've been using a lot. I got it for $5 dollars at Walgreens last month and i've been using it this past month like crazy. I use on side to put on my eyeshadow and because it's so small i can work with the shadow in my inner corner without any problems. The other end i used to line my eyes with eyeshadow and its great
7) NYC cover stick in Light - I got this at Ulta for $1.99. I dont use it for what im supposed to lol i used it to pale out my lips for nude lips. I have such natural pigmented lips that when i do wear lipstick, their natural color is lost bc of my lips lol so i use this to pale them out so the lipsticks work better =)
8) Strawberry Carmex - i got this at Walgreens for like a dollar something i dont remember lol this is my second one this year lol its very handy i carry it in my pocket and use it when my lips get too dry and it works wonders its my favorite
9) Beauty Rush gloss - again i've had this for a while and i've noticed Victoria Secret beauty products are becoming so famous lately i found this and fell in love...again lol I love the minty feel it has and give my lips. yum lol im really lusting victoria secret makeup now lol
10) OPI nailpolish in Lincoln Park after Dark - I used this in the beginning of the month because its such a great fall color. I would've done a swatch on how it looks on my nails but im a nail bitter and they look horrible so im trying to grow them back haha I love this color either way because its not black but its that sexy dark color that's perfect for this season
