Birthday Haul

So yesterday was my Birthday again LOL ..(part 3) where I celebrated with my boyfriend. I didn't really have anything I "wanted" -I just wanted to go to San Francisco and pick out some random things. Not surprisingly, most my gifts ended up being beauty related and being from Sephora!

I picked up NARS Blush Angelika, Illamasqua Intense Lip Gloss in Indulge, Benefit's Some Beauty to Love Set, and Shiseido's new Nourishing Mascara Base (actually from Macy's.) Since I had a gift card and VIBS were getting 20% off, I also bought Sephora Brand Liner Electro in Marine Electro and Waterproof Smoky Cream Liner in Water Park. I initially wanted Stila's Smudge Stick in Peacock but I kept feeling it was too expensive and "fat." I prefer liners that I can sharpen and since this is a twist up, I have no idea how I'd sharpen it to create a sharp point. I also got another deluxe sample of the Tarina Tarantino primer because my boyfriend has his iPhone!!

The Benefit Some Beauty to Love Kit was what I really wanted. I was ecstatic to see it in the store since it sold out online. For just $1 more ($29 for the set) than buying the Coralista blush individually ($28), you get the Coralista blush plus a mini Bad Gal Mascara, mini That Gal, and full size Eye Bright!! Also, you get the cute box it comes in!
I also picked up 2 long sleeved tees from the GAP. I love my basics and I really needed to get some long-sleeves.. I bought these as a present for myself. =P Can you believe they were only $10.50 each with the F&F 30% off?! I wanted to go to Old Navy too but we didn't have time so boo. =(

My boyfriend also got me this single rose while we were shopping but it was pretty much destroyed by the time I got home. He totally crushed it (it was behind the seat) while he was in the car!! I still put it in a vase though.

And then he also got me balloons! I still love balloons even though I'm "too old" for them.
We stopped by this Hot Dog cart in from of GAP and they hot dogs were so delicious! I haven't had a hot dog in months because of how "gross" they can taste but this was so tasty! I want another one now!

That's pretty much it for my birthday "haul".. I got some gift cards and whatnot here and there but didn't feel like they were worth mentioning as they're pretty boring. I do wish that we could've stayed in SF all day and eat there but we really didn't have much time. I hope we get to come back soon!!

What were/are your weekend plans? Any plans for today?

P.S. I'm going to 100% TRY to have the giveaway up by tomorrow (Monday) but I'm going to make the deadline (for myself) this week if anything. I'm just a bit tired from the last few days so I haven't had the time to sort everything out and write up the rules yet. Sorry if I seem like I'm lagging -I totally am! But please, be patient. There will be one coming!!

  6. You should! Just casually slip in, "This would be nice...... for my birthday." =) But I definitely wouldn't be able to wait until March! It's so long from now. =P I <3 the Benifit Bag/Case too -I wish it wasn't cardboard though but I'll probably put it up on display.

    Hop You had a great weekend!

  8. I'm totally enjoying Coralista but the NARS Angelika blush -not so much. The color is just all wrong for my skin tone. =\
