Hi guys! So my 16th birthday was last week so I thought I would share what I got on this special day. I had an amazing birthday! I started off waking up at camp but got home to a surprise party with all my closest friends and my boyfriend. Then, my boyfriend and I went to the hockey game! Such a perfect day for me. I am so happy and thankful that I have another year to work on myself, and radiate as much love and positivity as possible! Anyways, I thought I would share all the goodies I got on this special day. In no way, shape or form am I bragging in any way.. I am beyond thankful for everything beyond the presents. Enough rambling from me, time to see what I got for my sweet 16!
If you guys want a review on any of the products mentioned just let us know!
From my mom, I got this diamond mosaic blanket scarf from Aritzia. I've been wanting one of these for so long but contemplated on getting it because it was super pricey and summer was coming but I thought it was a good investment because I live in Canada where it is cold most of the time. I love the colours on this scarf and think they are so spring-ish too! It's also wearable in so many different ways and so comfy and soft. It makes an outfit look even more amazing and I really like it!

From my boyfriend, I got the perfume I've been lusting over for such a long time which is Roses de Chloe. It smells like roses which is my favourite and I just absolutely love it. I'm really bad at describing scents so definitely check out the notes on this on Sephora's website. The packaging is so cute too! It has a really pretty pink ribbon tied around it and is pink! I love it.
He also got me the Nars Dual Intensity blush in frenzy! I wasn't expecting this at all but when I saw it I just fell in love. I usually don't gravitate towards an orange toned blush but when you apply it to the skin, it adds such a soft focus effect and looks so natural. The highlight in the compact is like a golden champagne and it looks so pretty on the skin! Swirling these two shades gives the cheeks such a beautiful and natural looking flush. At first it was hard to work with the product as I had to experiment with it a little, but I found using a denser soft bristled brush gives the most beautiful application. So glad I got this!


From one of my friends I got two really amazing eye brow products! One of them is the Anastasia brow wiz in dark brown which I had around this time last year. Alyssa got it for my birthday last year. I remember really liking it and I still don't know why I didn't repurchase it. Anyways, I've been using this for my brows and I fell back in love with it. It's so good at making your eyebrows look so full while still looking natural. The other product that I got was the Anastasia dip brow in dark brown as well. I used this while I was in Hawaii a couple weeks ago (I borrowed it from my friend!) and I really liked how waterproof this was and how budge proof it was. Especially because I was always swimming, greasy because of tanning oil and sweating because of how hot it was my eyebrows still looked good! I really like this product!

From my student I got this really pretty lipstick from Mac called Ladybug. When I first opened this, I was shocked because I don't usually wear reds. I just never felt comfortable wearing them so I didn't think I was going to use this that much. When I was thinking about who to give it to, I read the label and it said lustre. So immediately, I swatched it and the colour was so gorgeous. I applied it on my lips and it looks AMAZING! It's sheer enough that it looks like you've just been eating a red popsicle. It also looks like how your lips look when you just stand out on a cold winter day. It's so pretty and definitely buildable enough that you can also get away with a full red lip.


And finally... from Alyssa, I got the Nars Audacious lipstick in Anita. I've been wanting this lipstick for so long. I remember applying this over Mac's Soar lip pencil and LOVING IT. This has quickly become my favourite lipstick! The formula is spot on and it looks so pretty. So obsessed!!!! She also got me the Urban Decay lip 24/7 Glide on lip pencil in Liar. I've never tried anything Urban Decay other than their eyeshadows which I love, so I was excited for this. It is so buttery, creamy and very pigemented (might be a little more creamy than the Mac ones!). Liar is a brown-pink/nude shade. It looks good with Anita, velvet teddy from Mac and my Ysl lipstick in #9. I'm definitely gonna experiment with other lipsticks too but even this on its own is so pretty! And for those of you wondering yes it is creamy enough and opaque enough to wear on its own!
I'm so thankful for another year of life and for everything that I have and everyone around me. I'm excited to make being sixteen the best yet, which is hard to top because being 15 was pretty damn amazing! Radiate love and be thankful for everything. Hope you guys loved the post and we'll try and get more out for you!
Love you guys.
