Birthday Beauty Wishlist 2017

Every year, around my birthday, I tend to treat myself to a few new in beauty items. It works out because I can usually get them in conjunction with a discount or other freebies because it's my birthday. Here are a few of my picks for this year's list.

Drunk Elephant and I have a difficult relationship...I love everything they make, and I mean everything, but the cost is really outrageous. It's reaching sell-your-firstborn levels. Still, definitely interested in trying their new Sukari Babyfacial. What a weird name, but that's cool. Same goes for the Ouai Dry Shampoo Foam. I have fallen into the Ouai Hype Hole and don't see myself coming out anytime soon. I also really like what Trestique is laying down right now, and am in the market for a cream contour, like this one.

Speaking of hype trains I didn't get on, Benefit's takeover of the eyebrow industry! They brought out all these cute new eyebrow products...and I didn't try a single one. They currently have a kit out that I would be interested in trying. Also on pair with the Ouai spray, I have been dying to try out the new Living Proof In-Shower Styler. Does it work? I've heard mixed things. Also for my unmanageable mane is the splurge of a lifetime...a $400 hair dryer. Does it work? Who knows. Finally, a lipliner from Kat Von D to wear with my absolute favorite liquid lipsticks. 

But the reality? While these things would be nice to be able to try, I'm happy that Charles and our friends are mostly working on giving experience gifts this year. With at least one move coming up this year, I like the idea of moving fewer things, and just having photos of our awesome birthday experiences.

What's on your wishlist these days? A $400 hairdryer?
