What I Got For My Birthday 2014!

Hello! So as some of you may know, my birthday was last Saturday (8th) and I asked people on instagram whether they wanted to see what I got for my birthday and a lot of people said they did so here we go. Usual disclaimer, I'm not bragging at all, I just thought I'd show you what I got. So here we go :)

So the first thing is actually my pink iPhone 5c but unfortunately I don't have a picture of it because I use my phone to take the pictures. I am so so so grateful for this and I am so happy I got this, so thank you to my mum for that <3

So this is an overview of what my mum got me. 

So the first thing she got me was an Active Cosmetics makeup set. This has everything, lipsticks, lip liners, eyeshadows, nail polish and nail gems. The colours in the eyeshadows are so autumnal and pigmented it's unreal. The lipsticks are amazing too and they last so long. I haven't used any of the nail things yet but they're such beautiful colours and I'm really excited to use them. 

The next thing is this Nivea Lip Butter set. It has a normal lip butter, the raspberry one, a lip balm and then the pearl shine lip balm. I'm so excited to use these, especially now that it's winter time and I need to keep my lips hydrated. An other thing she got me is a set of three beauticology body butters. There are three really yummy scents, hot chocolate, gingerbread and marshmallow frosting. I'm so excited to use these because they smell so yummy. 

Then there is this really cute cup which has robins on it! It also has hard boiled sweets on the inside and they are so yummy. The next thing is this impulse body set in the fragrance True Love which is one of my favourite ever impulse scents. 

Then from my great aunt and my cousins, I got this L'Oreal straightening cream and an impulse body set with the Hot Pink shower gel and the Very Pink body spray. These smell absolutely amazing. 

Now moving onto what my friends got me. This is from my friend Maisie and this is the cutest mug in the world. It also has marshmallows inside the bag. It's so cute and I believe it's from Next. 

Then my friend Jenny bought me this bag and a mavala top coat nail polish and two nail polish art pens with gems and polish. I'm really excited to try out these as they look really good. 

My friend Ella bought me this DKNY Women perfume which smells really fruity and amazing. Then she also got me these boots nail polish remover wipes and a Barry M nail polish in the colour Fashion Icon. 

Here is a close up of the nail polish and this is so gorgeous and perfect for the holiday season coming up as it is extremely glittery and sparkly. 

From my friend Jess I got Meet The Vamps (which I have been wanting for ages!) and a box of Maltesers. <3

Then from my friend Emilie, she drew me this picture of Dan and Phil which is so cute. She is amazing at drawing. 

She also got me a Blue Nose plush toy. This one is Nelson the Narhwal and I love him so much. She also got me the lush Dragon's Egg Bath Ballistic which smells gorgeous. 

Then from my friend Summer she got me this Thorntons advent calendar and its The Snowman one and it has my name at the bottom which is really cute. Then she got me a phone case which I have not taken off my phone since I've got it. 

I don't know why this image is upside down haha but she also made me this card full of dil howlter from Dan and Phil's Sim series. She told me to include this so that's why I'm showing you, but this is amazing <3

Then from my friend Karla she got me three pairs of Christmas socks which are the cutest things ever. She also got me a little room decoration which says My Bestie Always and it's sp cute. It's similar to the colour of my room so I feel like it will look really nice in there. She also got me two yankee candles. 

The two candles she got me are Summer Scoop and Snowflake Cookie. I love these so much and can't wait to burn these all, especially the snowflake cookie as it's so christmassy. 

So that was everything I got for my birthday I hope you enjoyed reading about it.

October Favourites

I can't believe I'm writing my October Favourites today, it feels like it's only been October for a week! Anyway, here are the products that I've been enjoying over October. There aren't really that many because I didn't try new things as I was very happy with what I already had but there were a few gems I wanted to share. 

So the first thing is this hairspray by TRESemmé. This is the extra hold one and this does amazing things for my hair. My hair is quite frizzy especially at the top but this has been taming it and keepin it less frizzy than usual. 

This first thing that has moved into my skincare routine is the Garnier Micellar Water. This removes makeup so well and is an affordable price. 

This has been an absolute lifesaver for me. This is the Neutrogena Visibly Clear Spot Stress Control 3-in-1 Cleansing Lotion. This promises to cleanse your face, fight and prevent bacteria and reduce excess oil. This does all of that.  From the very first time I used it I noticed a huge difference in my skin. 

 

Recently, my elbows have been getting really dry and sore, so I started using his on them every night and oh my gosh they are so much softer now. This is just basic Aveeno cream and you could probably find this anywhere to be honest. Mine is a mini size so it's really easy to take out with me.

This is probably my favourite of all the products. This is the One Direction You & I perfume. This smells so girly, floraly and fruity, it's absolutely gorgeous. Even if you don't like One Direction, I would recommend giving this a sniff when you see it because it is absolutely gorgeous. 

This is a rediscovery of mine. This is the Baby Lips Electro in Pink Shock. This is a gorgeous bright pink lip colour that I am obsessed with. Also, I find the electro baby lips a lot more moisturising than the others. 

The last thing is this Lip Butter from the Body Shop in the flavour Blueberry. This tastes amazing, smells amazing and feels amazing. This has kept my lips so moisturised and I definitely want more flavours. 

Sorry the lighting was so bad, it was really dark outside and I don't know where my yellow fairy lights are. Hopefully my next pictures will have better quality. That's all for today, ily xx
