Something special is happening next week: I’m turning 23. Obviously, a birthday shopping spree is necessary because I finally have a legitimate excuse to get my hands on the new makeup and skincare I’ve been eyeing. I’ma Gen Zer, so TikTok is a huge part of how I discover Wholesale Replica Bag
trendy beauty products. I have a penchant for novelty, and since there’s always something new popping up on my FYP, I’m going to treat myself to some new launches, celebrity favorites, and editor-approved gems. Life is all about balance, so this list has a little bit of everything at every price point, including a magical $5 highlighter and a peachy perfume that’s upwards of $600. Keep reading to see my complete birthday wish list.
