What I Got For My Twentieth Birthday

celebrations, hershey's and after eight chocolate, MUA eyeshadow palette, garnier micellar water mini, rose cava, Cheryl perfume and eyelash set, topshop sunglasses
Lindor chocolates, cava, MAC lipstick, new look pink top, gold and pink triangle necklace
selection of mini hair, body, nail and makeup products from M&S summer beauty box
Sephora green tea sheet mask, Tarte mini palette of creams and browns, handmade bracelet with TGIF beads and three hello kitty pencils
It feels so weird no longer being a teenager. I'm a proper adult now- I feel like I need to start doing 'being in my twenties' stuff- though I'm not sure exactly what that is! 

I absolutely love seeing other bloggers' birthday present posts and videos so thought I'd share my own since I'm so chuffed with everything. I got all of my favourite things- chocolate, makeup and skincare bits as well as some gems I've wanted to try for ages including MAC Velvet Teddy lipstick, a Sephora mask and Topshop sunglasses. I always talk myself out of buying things I don't really need so I feel so grateful to be treated to both my everyday essentials and special luxuries. A very big thank you too to Melanie who sent me such fab gifts (as always) which I am so excited to use. I have never seen the Cheryl perfume set but already I love it- the perfume smells lovely, the bottle is really pretty and eyelure lashes are my favourite. My mum also managed to secure the coveted M&S beauty box which has a fantastic selection of high end brand mini's to try. 

I had an absolutely fab day!

I've absolutely loved reading everyone's 'What I Got For Christmas' posts. I hadn't planned on doing one of my own so I put some of my presents away before I took pictures. However, I did photograph the beauty related presents in the off-chance that I'd blog about them. I am so thankful for each and every present. I see a lot of pamper nights in the near future with all these lovely bath and body products. Special thanks to Melanie for the amazing gift (second picture) which I managed to keep until Christmas day (sheer will power!) I am beyond excited to try the Wet n Wild palette. I hope you all had a great Christmas.

What I Got For Christmas 2012!

Hey Everyone!

How are you all? It feels like weeks since I last posted but its actually only been a few days. Did you have a good Christmas? Mine was great, though as always I'm sad its all over. Although, I am going to London for New Year which I am super excited about!

So, I thought I'd share with you a few pictures of my presents. I'm not trying to brag at all; I just enjoy reading posts like these so thought you might like to see mine. Also, I was going to film a video on this instead, but my camera has broken! We might need to make do with my phone snaps for a while!

I am very, very lucky and have already got stuck into trying out all my new makeup (expect lots of reviews) and using my new hair tools and burning candles (my new obsession!). The only downside is that my skin is terrible with all the chocolate!
