My Surprise MAC Birthday Gifts

Hey Everyone!

I don't know about you- but for me, getting a parcel through the door is up there with Christmas morning. Therefore, as you may imagine- when I had a knock at the door a few weeks ago and the postman handed me a big black box- I was screaming with excitement (in my head of course- wouldn't want to scare him).

This is a bit of a random post as it consists mainly of photographs but I thought I'd share the experience with you step by step. Also, a hugeeeee thank you to my cousin for sending me these amazing goodies for my birthday.

I am so impressed with how MAC package their gifts- it was the biggest treat ever unwrapping it. And of course it goes without saying my cousin picked the two most amazing items (which I have been lusting after for ages!!)- MSF in Soft and Gentle and Girl About Town lipstick. I feel like squealing just writing it!

Have you purchased anything from MAC lately? Would you like to see a review of any of these?

Update | I Won A Giveaway Hip Hip Hooray

Hey Everyone!

Well I must confess that its been over a week since my last post- eek! I think that's the longest I've went since I started without posting! Undoubtedly, the highlight of the week was Tuesday when I got in from school and there was a brown parcel sitting on my bed. Now I'm not one to receive mail a lot, let alone a parcel full of goodies so as you can imagine I almost hit the roof with excitement.  You see I won a giveaway for the first time yayyy! 

It was held on MsMeatballhead124's  amazing Youtube channel (check it out people, she has a blog too and both are great- she's so lovely and easy to watch!). I got an email a couple of weeks ago to say I had won and I was doing treble back flips and all sorts of shiz :D After my skilful box opening (in case you haven't, take a look at my complete fail opening my ELF order) this is what I found.

Each item was individually wrapped in orange tissue paper and I cannot explain the delight I had in unwrapping each.

So here is what I received:

Wooo I am so happy! How amazing is all this stuff? I love that because its from Canada, its brands you don't get here. The first item is a red lipgloss from Yves Rocher which I am glad to report is beautiful!! Then the eyeshadow is also Yves Rocher but I haven't tried it yet. I tried Yves Rocher a few years ago when I was in Germany and its kind of like The Body Shop. Then the nail polishes are by Finger Paints, a brand that I've not actually heard of but oh my goodness! I tried the pink immediately (what polish ban?) and it is definitely my favourite pink nail polish! It stays on for ages (yep, it stays on me, the constant nail biter!) and it the most bold colour. I haven't tried the coral yet but I think it'll be just as great. Then finally this lovely blue and gold bangle from Joe Fresh. I think this is so cute and is a lovely statement piece :)

I am so very thankful to MsMeatballhead (or Mel) and once again I would recommend you all to hop on over to her blog here and channel here. 

Aww all unwrapped :)

New Purchase | Dolly Bow Bow Darcie Vintage Floral Print Dress

Hey Everyone!

As some of you may know, I am a massive fan of anything floral. Add a touch of vintage to the mix and I'm pretty much sold. So, a couple of months ago whilst having a little browse on the web, I stumbled across the amazing online boutique Dolly Bow Bow. I literally could have ordered every single dress but I managed to narrow it down to this cute floral number for £26. A few days later, this pretty parcel arrived.

I think this is the cutest parcel packaging I've ever received. I was literally so excited when it arrived- taking care not to rip the paper even slightly. 

The dress itself is beautiful- a really lovely weightless fabric and a nice quality. It is the ultimate girly dress- soft colours and a flattering shape. I also like the cute white belt which accentuates the smallest part of the frame- the waist. I also really like the zip at the back- its a really prominent gold one which I actually prefer to concealed ones. 

This has already become one of my favourite dresses and I am so excited to get lots of use out of it. 

Have you ever bought anything from Dolly Bow Bow?
