2012 Birthday Haul Part 1
Hello, hello, hello! I celebrated my 22nd birthday a couple of weeks ago and, of course, I had to give myself something - a birthday gift to myself. *wink* I realized that time that I hadn't bought makeup in months so when I passed by HBC one night on the way home from work, I went inside and got the items I've been eyeing for months now. While I was there, I decided to pick up my favorite HBC items and give them to my mom for Mother's Day.
Here's a fun trivia about me (which you may or may not care about): I was born on Mother's Day.
Cool, right? Anyway, so here are the things I picked up for myself.

Items:
San San Eyeshadow Trio in 01, 02, 03 - P101 each
And for my mom...
Items:
Body Recipe Pure Coco Oil Body Scrub
Body Recipe Pure Coco Oil Body Butter
Body Recipe Pure Coco Oil Moisturizing Bath Soap
I decided to give my mom a set of Body Recipe Pure Coco Oil products because I loved the body scrub - it's one of my fave HBC products. I had also already tried the soap before and enjoyed using it. I love the scent of these pure coco oil products, and I hope my mom is enjoying them too right now.
The eyeshadow trios... I've been eyeing them for forever. Saw some good reviews about these so I decided I might as well try them out. Will post a review, of course.
These eyeshadows are sooo soft that I'm actually confused on whether they're cream or just really, really soft powder eyeshadows. I hope you can wait for the full review I'll be posting soon :)
In the meantime, here are the swatches.
Pretty nice pigmentation for the price, right? :)
And that's it for PART 1 of my birthday haul. Stay tuned for a bigger Part 2. Click here to see PART 2 of my birthday haul!
And I just want to say thank you to everyone who greeted me on my birthday. Can't wait for the next one! Haha
