OK so clearly this goes against the spirit of my New Years Resolutions BUT I have an excuse . . .gift cards! I have so many gifts cards from christmas, and can’t just let them burn a hole in my wallet. I’m not actually spending any of my own money if I buy these things, so I think it fair. Plus half the time I talk myself out of buying half of my lust list anyway. So let’s get down to business.

1. OCC Lip Tar “Black Metal Dahlia” - I love lip tars. I love dark lip colors. I love metallic stuff. You see? This makes so much sense to me. They also have a matching nail polish that is calling my name, but I HAVE to stop buying nail polish, for realsies. But this lip tar looks oh so good. It will be mine.
2. Harry Josh Pro Tools 2000 Hair Dryer - Yes it is insane for me to spend 300 bucks on a hair dryer. But this is called a lust list for a reason. Blows air at 80 mph, saves energy and is the size of a travel dryer? It’s a thick-haired girls dream. It takes me way too long to dry my hair. But alas 300 is still crazy on my budget, so this will have to wait until future Nicole is inevitably ballin’ out of control. Patience is a virtue.
3. Anastasia Beverly Hills Dip Brow Pomade - I enjoy experimenting with my brows, so I’m always looking for new products to fill and set them with. I also follow Anastasia Beverly HIlls on Instagram, and every time i see super neat, impossibly perfected brows, this product seems to be what they used. I usually go for a neat, but still natural and bushy look but I want to play around with them and try to super neat perfect look too, so this will probably be something I use a gift card for.
4. Models Own Nail Art Pens - I also follow Wah Nails on Instagram, and they make such fun, cheeky designs with these nail art pens. I want to try! I just realized now how many things Instagram makes me want to buy . . .huh, who knew?
5. OCC Tint Tinted Moisturizer - OCC makes such amazing products, and I have heard nothing but good things about this stuff. I want to test it in person before buying it though, because I’m a little picky about my base. But for some reason it’s calling to me. Maybe i’ll go play with it at Sephora this weekend, but then I know I’m gonna leave with that lip tar, crap!
