21st Birthday Wishlist


Hey guys!

In case you didn't know, I'm turning 21 on November 19th and I cannot wait! I am beyond lucky to be going away to a mystery destination (I've asked not to be told until I'm in the airport) with my Godmother for the weekend and the following weekend, I'll be celebrating with my friends and family!

21 is a 'big birthday' and I'm gonna be honest and say I cannot wait to be so extra for my birthday party!

Birthday Wishlists are pretty much a tradition for me at this point so here are some of the things I would love to get for my birthday!


Glossybox November
I don't have a fixed-term subscription with Glossybox. Instead, I order a box every few months or if I accidentally forget to unsubscribe, two in a row! I love the concept of the box because you literally don't know what you're going to get before you open the box. Overall, the subscription is also fairly affordable on a monthly basis and they have a student discount!

Use my code on glossybox.ie to get 20% off your first order with them!


Mario Badescu Spritz.Mist.Glow Set

I have heard so much about these facial sprays. While Mario Badescu recommends using the three combined as facial sprays at different intervals throughout the day, a lot of people use it both before and after applying makeup.

These facial sprays are so hyped and I would love to try them out for myself.

This set is available from Beauty Bay for €17.95.


Makeup Revolution Pressed Glitter Palette - Hot Pursuit
Makeup Revolution is an affordable brand that I have been using for years. They recently launched on Beauty Bay which is fabulous for me because I can bundle enough in to get free shipping along with such a wide range of other brands. 

This palette stood out to me because I love a good glittery eye and I mean there are some fantastic pink shades, so what's not to love? I have yet to be disappointed by anything from the brand and I'm sure this palette wouldn't change my mind.

Hot Pursuit is available from Beauty Bay for €11.25.


MAC Look in a Box - Blazing Haute

I saw this set in Dublin Airport before I went to Portugal and completely regret not buying it! They're mini lipsticks which is perfect for me because I have so many, I do not need any more full size products! 

Full of fiesty reds and gorgeous nudes, this set is perfect for the winter months. The finish on each lipstick is different as far as I know, so the set is so versatile!

Blazing Haute is available in Arnotts for €40.


Urban Decay All Nighter Pollution Protection Setting Spray
The regular All Nighter Setting Spray is a staple in my routine and the pollution protection spray has all the benefits of the original along with additional ingredients that help protect against oxidation due to pollution.

I have been dying to try this since its release but because I always have a spare bottle of All Nighter in my drawer, I haven't gotten around to purchasing this yet.

All Nighter Pollution Protection Setting Spray is available from the Dublin Urban Decay store for €33.


Fujifilm Instax Mini 90 Camera Black
I have been lusting over Instax cameras for years and while I initially wanted a pink one, I much prefer the refined look of the Mini 90 model.

I love the idea of capturing a moment on camera and being able to hold the picture almost instantly. I also think the travelling pictures (J1 next year anyone?) with this would be absolutely fantastic!

The Fujifilm Instax Mini 90 Camera is available from the PhotoSpecialist for €119.


Donations to the Irish Motor Neurone Disease Association


I don't think I have ever said it on here but I lost an aunt to MND when I was younger. MND is a neurological condition that attacks the nerves in the brain and spinal cord. Eventually, messages from the brain stop reaching the muscles. It can affect how you walk, talk, eat, drink and even breathe.

While there is medication to slow down the process of MND, there's still no known cure or causes of the disease. That's why, for my birthday, I would love people to donate to the IMNDA.

If you would like to, you can do so here: IMNDA, Donate online.


Crosley Cruiser Portable Turntable with Built-in Stereo Speakers - Pink
I love the idea of playing music from this rather than a phone or CD player (yes, I still own one). The worst part about this one is I can imagine exactly where it would fit in my room and the first vinyl I would buy is clearly Taylor Swift.

The Crosley Cruiser is available from Zavvi for €68.50.


Spectrum Collections Water Brush Set

I love the quality of Spectrum brushes and love the idea of having a brush set related to your birthday (Water is the element for Scorpios). I mean, who doesn't love getting to play with new brushes?

The  bag that these brushes come in is also so pretty! I need new face brushes so this set would be ideal for me.

The Water Brush Set is available from Spectrum Collections for €76.


Flight Vouchers

There's so much of the world I haven't seen and still so many places I would love to visit. With my travel bug along with planning a J1 with my best friend next year, a flight voucher would be such an ideal (practical) present for my birthday.

I have been working since I came home but every little helps because I don't want my bank account to be drained next summer!

So there you have it! My 21st Birthday Wishlist!
I would be thrilled to get anything off the list for my birthday and am looking forward to celebrating the day with my friends and family.

Ciara,
xoxo.
