Weeks before my birthday I had started to plan what makeup I wanted to get since birthdays are like a free pass to spend whatever on whatever. Thanks to the Instagram shops I follow I was able to get more for my budget than if I had actually gone down to the stores to get them (extremely high Philippine Tax, I'm blaming you!). I'm a real lipstick addict but I wanted my birthday stash to be well-rounded and have a little bit of everything. I won't be writing reviews just yet as I got the package just this week. I guess you'll have to tune in and wait for the reviews. So without further ado, here are my picks for this year's birthday extravaganza:
This bag I actually got for myself and I got it for a steal at this wonderful Facebook shop. It's the Michael Kors Neoprene Jet Set Tote Bag. I used to hate the color neon green cos when I see it I automatically think vomit. But now I feel like I'm drawn to it. It looks young and vibrant and very refreshing. I'm all about refreshing these days given our hot climate. (My pink stuffed ladybug in the background says hello.)

Ah... The Nars Sheer Glow foundation. Heard many great things. Decided to try it. Now have it. End of story. My shade is Barcelona, btw.

This is the YSL Rouge Pur Couture and I got the shade #24 Blond Ingenu. I had originally planned on getting the YSL Rouge Volupte but the shade Nude Beige wasn't available. I couldn't pass up the chance to get a YSL lipstick so I opted for the shade closest to it.

The Urban Decay Naked 3. Now who hasn't heard of this? When this came out, it really came out! Every beauty blogger had it and there were countless tutorials on how to use it. This was a gift that came with a really handsome dude - Andrew Garfield.
Before I end this post, I wanna take this time to give a shout out to the Make Up Your Mind Store. The owner was very accommodating and sweet. I told her my purchases were my birthday gift for myself so she threw in a lot of goodies and I mean a lot. Viber her anytime and she will answer. The store claims to have the lowest prices on IG and on some items I definitely agree with her.
What about you? If you're birthday was coming up what would be your make up splurge?
