What I Got For Christmas 2017

How has Christmas Day already been and gone?! I feel like there is such a long build up and Christmas day itself goes as quick as a flash. 

I hope everyone has had a lovely Christmas, I had a really lovely day with my family and I feel so lucky and grateful to have received so many lovely, lovely gifts. 

I know these posts seem to cause some controversy, but I love these posts and enjoy reading them myself, because I love having a nosey and getting shopping ideas! 

I'll start off with presents from my parents...

My first present was this globe with a beautiful ballerina figurine in. How beautiful is she?! I am so happy with this, it's sat on my windowsill and totally gives me The Nutcracker vibes.

My parents know how much I love collecting perfumes and trying new scents, as well as keeping my old favourites in my collection. I absolutely love YSL's Black Opium, it has vanilla, musky tones and just smells divine! 

I thought this Ted Baker mini perfume set was adorable, sets like this are brilliant to try different scents, which you might not have tried otherwise. The rose gold, bow packaging is aesthetically pleasing, so is a complete win win if you ask me.

I done a lot of research about facial sonic brushes, I have problematic skin, so an exfoliator seems to be too harsh, which is why this took my eye, a lady at the Clinique counter done a demonstration and I fell in love! Click here to have a look, I know these regularly go on sale through the year!

I am a huge Disney fanatic, Disney just seems to make me so happy! I love collecting Disney merchandise and I received this gorgeous Dumbo plush this Christmas, but what made it even more special was the little personalised tag on his leg, with my name on. I adore this.

Audrey Hepburn is one of my style icons and I am so excited to see a different classy Audrey look every month! 

A colour theme with these two clothing pieces, firstly is this cosy, warm, basic beige jumper from Primark, which will go with so many outfits and is a key wardrobe essential. 

I never really knew if I liked the puffer jacket trend, I saw so many girls completely rocking them, looking so stylish and I felt I wasn't going to find one for me...Then I went to Zara and found THE perfect one! One that didn't make me look too much like a giant marshmallow, haha! One that was warm, but still stylish, Zara is amazing!!!

Next are my presents from my newly fiance...(I'm still pinching myself)...

He knows Lush is always a good idea, adding to my Lush jar with some of my favourites is always a good idea! He got me Butterbear, Sex bomb and Think Pink.

He knows I love painting my nails, I love girly colours and he done amazing with these choices! This mauve pink colour is Sally Hansen's 'Pink Prancer' from the Christmas collection. Essie's Sheer Luck and last, but not least this pretty little candy cane, with 3 different shades with wedding names on.

My two main presents are this YSL Touche Eclat Blur Primer, I am so excited to try this, it has to be the prettiest primer I have ever seen, so golden and beautiful, I have heard so many good things about this product! 

My second main product is this Chanel eyeshadow contour brush, I've never had such an expensive make up brush, so I am excited to see if this lives up to the hype! 

My other stocking present this is No7 Matte Liquid Lips is the shade 'Grace'.

My future sister and brother in law got me two lovely gifts, the first one is this beautiful Christmas tree ornament, a keepsake to remember our first Christmas being engaged. Which I absolutely adore! The second present is this Benefit make up set, which products I have already tried and loved, also some new products I am very excited to try.

My fiance's parents and brother got me these two lovely gifts. Starting off with this YSL Touche Eclat under-eye brightening pen set, with a free little YSL Touche Ecalt Blur Primer, such a make up cult classic! 

Carrying on with the Disney theme, I love collecting Disney Traditions, so to add to my collection I have this gorgeous little Thumper, the sweetest little rabbit ever!!! 

I hope this has given you some shopping inspiration and you've had a lovely christmas!

Lush Christmas Haul 2017

Happy November!!! 

Well, the most magical time of year is nearly upon us, which can only mean one thing... A big shopping spree in Lush was due. The clocks have gone back, the mornings and evenings are much darker and chilly, what more could you want than a cosy, festive scented, warm Lush bath?

A couple of years ago I bought a big vase and decided to fill it with pretty Lush bath bombs and bubble bars, this makes my room smell like a Lush store! 

Christmas time at Lush has to be my favourite, so I wanted to get some old favourites and some new ones to try...I am so disappointed they didn't bring back the Father Christmas bath bomb this year, he was a beautiful pink Father Christmas and I've had him in my stocking for as long as I can remember.

So to start off with is this beautiful Magic Wand, a pink, sparkly, Snow Fairy scented, reusable bubble bar...Isn't this the prettiest thing you've ever seen?! I've heard so many good things about this product and it's such a girly product. - £5.95

This is a new product the Snow Fairy Jelly Bomb, if it is Snow Fairy scented, I more than likely want it! This will be a total surprise to me when I try this, I love that Lush has turned my favourite scent into a bath bomb, super excited for this product! - £4.95

Here is a total classic and favourite of mine Candy Mountain, I can remember since the first time I was interested in Lush, that Christmas the Candy Mountain obsession started, of course, it's Snow Fairy scented, surprise surprise! This would make a brilliant stocking filler! - £3.25

This little guy is the cutest!! The Snowman bubbleroon! I remember a couple of years ago Lush had a Melting Snowman bubble bar and I feel like it's the same little guy all back together and frozen again, well, that's my Disney brain kicking in...I just couldn't resist getting him! £4.25

This is another pretty, glittery product, I just can't leave Lush without buying all the girly, sparkly products and Snow Angel caught my eye, I didn't get the chance to try this last year, but from what I've seen, she's a bath melt and will benefit your skin. Pretty, glittery and good for your skin? Yes please! - £4.50

Another one of my favourites, Golden Wonder bath bomb! A beautiful golden present, with a white bow, covered in glitter, with a bath explosion surprise inside! This would be perfect for an extra special Christmas eve bath. - £4.50

Star Light, Star Bright, this has to be the most glittery product by Lush ever! I couldn't believe how much glitter went everywhere and I only took it from the bag to my jar! I am so excited to see how this turns out in the bath! Another product to help nourish your skin. - £4.25

Another cute one, Butter bear, just like Butterball, but cuter! This doesn't do anything fantastic, pretty or crazy, but it's the most amazing product to nourish, sooth and moisturise your skin. This is another brilliant little stocking filler! - £2.50

                                        I hope this has got you in the festive spirit!

                                                       Happy Lush Shopping!!

What I Got For My 22nd Birthday!

Well, long time no speak...It's been nearly a year since my last blog post and yes, it's been a bit of a crazy year.

I've felt so uninspired about my blog, I read so many amazing ones and I felt like I couldn't better my blog, so I stepped back, thought about what I wanted my blog to be like, set my mind to it and re-designed my blog.

More of a pink and girly design and I am so happy with it!

Now, for my first post back...My 22nd birthday haul!!!

I got these gorgeous ankle boots from Primark, they're black suede, with a gold buckle. I've seen lots of people purchasing these and I can understand why, they're so stylish, buckles are super on trend, Primark never disappoint!

I was so excited when my boyfriend said he wanted to get me some Ugg boots for my birthday, he knows I've always loved bows, so he specifically said it had to be a pair with bows.

I've had my eye on these Bailey Bow Ugg's in Chestnut, I love the colour, it's so autumnal and versatile. I love baby pinks, creams and beige's, so these will go with so many of my outfits.

For the past year or so I have been hunting for the perfect faux fur, baby pink jacket, whilst I was shopping with my Mum, we walked into Topshop I saw it, my dream baby pink, faux fur jacket and completely fell in love, it's perfect, perfect shade and exactly what I was looking for, so we couldn't leave it there, we had to get it!

I felt like I needed smart formal coat, but I still like to be girly! This coat from Oasis just gave me Gossip Girl vibes, I could easily picture Blair or Serena walking around Upper East Side wearing this. The faux fur piece around the collar just perfects this coat for me.

As I was walking around Primark I randomly found these adorable earmuffs, just on a rack all alone. I couldn't believe my eyes, I feel like these earmuffs are made for me! Baby pink, fluffy and the band has plastic pearl beards...Literally earmuff goals!! Primark, you done it again.

This was such a special present, yes, I know, people seem to have a lot of opinions about a Burberry bear, my opinion, he's adorable. 

Last year for my 21st birthday I got a burberry scarf and I thought this little guy would be the perfect matching accessory, he's now linked to my car keys and comes on all my driving adventures.

It's that time of year where all the beautiful fragrance gift sets come out for Christmas, I find a perfume with a pretty bottle makes me love the product even more. This Elizabeth Taylor White Diamonds set is lovely, the scent is fresh and lasts all day. The set contains 100ml bottle of the perfume, a mini 15ml handbag size (which is always needed), 50ml body lotion and 50ml body wash. I love these sorts of sets.

As an extra present my boyfriend surprised me and got me a Chanel lip balm, with the cold weather slipping in, I've noticed my lips have been struggle with getting a bit dry and sore. Putting on a Chanel lip balm couldn't get more glamorous right?!

I am obsessed with vintage deers and I got this beautiful Christmas vintage deer light box, this is a beautiful decoration and I am so excited for the dark winter evenings, to have this glowing next to a candle, all cosy.

I had such a lovely day, I am so lucky to have an amazing family, boyfriend and friends, I am so thankful for them!

I hope you enjoyed this post and get some Christmas present inspiration.
