Are these good beauty products for a 13 year old?

Well... I'm 13 and I just got a ton of birthday money and I wanna splurge on beauty products and clothes...

So for skin care:
Clinique Rinse Off Foaming Cleanser
The Body Shop Aloe Calming Toner
The Body Shop Vitamin E SPF 15 Moisture Lotion

Makeup:
Clinique Even Better SPF 15 Foundation in Alabaster
MAC Iridescent Loose Powder in Silver Dusk
Almay Nearly Naked Concealer Stick in Light
MAC Eye Kohl Eye Pencil in Fascinating (white)
Revlon Ultra Curl Lash Curler
Laura Mercer Lip Plumper in Wildberry
Stila Lip Glaze in Guava

Live Clean Invigorating Green Earth Shampoo
Live Clean Fresh Water Moisturizing Conditioner
So I know, lots of really expensive brands but I got a lot more money than usual so I have 300 dollars in birthday money, is that enough to buy all of this? And also, it may sound weird that I'm using two lip glosses, but the Stila one adds a nice sheen and it's supposed to be really moisturizing so I wanna buy that one and the Laura Mercier Lip Plumper, it's supposed to plump your lips nicely and I want my lips to be a little more full but I won't use it too much, cause I don't want really pouty lips... and also it's supposed to be more rich in color while the Stila one is a bit transparent so I put them together...
No my skin is REALLY bad. I have freckles and red blotches everywhere which looks weird on my fair skin
Who said I wouldn't buy one at a time? And also the only reason I'm choosing pricier brands is because I go to Sephora a lot with my mom, and I don't wanna buy brands that test on animals, and most drugstore brands do.

effective weight loss tips?

how many times a week should i work out?
what kind of foods should i eat? (baked, grilled, sauteed, etc)
how often should i weigh myself?

i don't drink 8 glasses of water. instead i drink 2-3 1L bottles of Smart Water a day, is that okay?

Is it safe to drink juice? gatorade? vitamin water?
what key foods should i avoid during a diet?
how long should a diet last?

i feel that the answers to these questions would be my key to help me lose weight that i'd wanna lose.

another thing is, if i monitor my weight by keeping a log of my progress and foods i eat, how do i know the amount of calories i'm intaking?

for example; the foods we eat are normally homecooked so i wouldn't know what the calories of grilled steak, sauteed asparagus, with mashed potatoes and/or green beans is.

does chewing gum satisfy hunger cravings?

i'm quickly trying to get my eating habits back on track as i am going to be going back to school soon and beginning a job. if allowing to splurge, how often should be allowed? i have a thing for caffeine that i've been slowing breaking as well.

thanks for all advice! any extra tips are welcome.
