Gifts I Received For My Birthday and Christmas :)

Hello Everyone!


Disclaimer:
 My apologies for the missing pictures. My pictures were accidentally deleted off my blog. Please Refer to my Instagram account miss_pilar to view the pictures (or some of the pictures) that were deleted.  
 
I know I’m posting this a little late, but as I mentioned in Reflections 2013: My Year In Review post, I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and a great start to the New Year! My Christmas/Birthday was magnificent :) My day was filled with happiness, texts, phone calls etc. I spent the day with my mom and she cooked a dinner of my favorite foods for my birthday. It was a pretty laid back day. I felt so blessed to celebrate my 28th birthday on Christmas Day and to see another year!

Now on the Birthday/Christmas goodies!

 

You’re going to notice that most of my gifts are beauty related. I needed and I wanted to try some new items. I’m currently in the processes of reorganizing my makeup storage. I want to thank the people who I"m mentioning in this post that got me these beautiful gifts, and helped me celebrate my special day!

From My Mom

- Urban Decay Vice 2 (Birthday)
- Urban Decay Naked Palette (Christmas)
- Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette (Birthday)
- Sephora Rose Gold Brush Set (Birthday)
- Mirror (Christmas)
- Snowflake Mason Jar (Christmas)

 

 

Birthday gift from Sephora

 

 
 

 

 

 

 

Items that came with the palettes and free gift items that came with purchase

 


I love this amazing lady so much! She is always so thoughtful, loving, and giving. She is the best and I appreciate her so much! I love all these wonderful gifts!

From My Best Friend

- Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette

 

 

 

He is so amazing to get this from Sephora! I was happy to see that bag :) I know that he and most guys don’t understand the awesomeness of receiving makeup lol, but he gives great gifts!!


From My Other Best Friend

- Muji Acrylic Drawers (2 large drawers and 5 drawers)

 

 


I’m so glad that my other best friend got me these drawers to reorganize my makeup! She is so awesome! I barely could contain my excitement when the FedEx man knocked at the door! lol I can’t wait to reorganize my makeup collection! She gives great gifts too!

I want to thank my mom and my two best friends once again for making my special day wonderful. I truly appreciate everything they have done for me. Even if I didn’t receive one gift, that’s not the meaning of Christmas/Birthdays. The true meaning of holidays and birthdays are spending it with the one’s you love and care about. So for that I am truly grateful to have them in my life! I love them so much!!


Now for the birthday gifts I bought for myself (My Birthday Haul)

 

- theBalm Palette
- Lorac Pro Palette
- Avon Goodies
   - Ultra Color Lipsticks
   - Makeup Brushes
   - Lip Liner Pencils
- Victoria’s Secret Holographic Limited Edition Train Case 2013
- Victoria’s Secret Holographic Makeup Bag
- BH Cosmetics 120 Color Palette 1st Edition and 7 count makeup brushes set
- An Infinity Scarf I made for myself

 

 

 

 

I took the pictures with the flash on camera to give the true color of the Victoria's Secret items

Ok I know I splurged a little on myself lol What better way to celebrate my special day than to treat myself to some items :) Besides, I everyone should take time out to treat themselves once in a while. Side Note: If you get the Victoria’s Secret Holographic Train Case, be careful with the zipper :) and the item’s are currently on discount for the Semi Annual Sale online and in stores.

I'll be writing a good bit of reviews on my gifts in future posts!

Thanks for stopping by to read how I spent Christmas/Birthday :) Once again I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season!

      Thank you! I think it's official that I have a slight eyeshadow palette obsession lol I definitely recommend the Muji drawers because a lot of items can fit in them and they're not too expensive. Stay tuned for a review in a future post. Happy New Year!
