21st Birthday Haul | Blogmas Day 6

I really enjoy reading people's 'birthday hauls' and reading about all the things they received. Buuut, I've been really unsure about doing this post myself as I don't want to be seen as bragging or showing off which is, obviously, not my intention! However, as I enjoy reading them I thought that it would be a  good idea to post it on my blog as I like to blog what I enjoy to read.

My birthday was towards the end of November and I received lots of lovely things that I am extremely grateful for and very happy.  The only thing I asked for was the Benefit Beauty Calendar and so I was very surprised with everything else I got. 

From my parents and Nan I got a couple of '21' things which I love.  I hope I'm not the only one that loves getting gifts like this with their age on?! Also Me Too You bears are the softest things ever.

For my other presents I got the Benefit Party Poppers which, as I said, I had asked for so I was very happy with this.  It has got some lovely things inside and I am loving opening it each day! Carrying on with the beauty items, I also got the Estee Lauder Make Up Artist Collection.  I mentioned this in my Christmas gifts Set post (here) saying that I might get it for myself, so I'm guessing my Mum must have seen me looking at it online! If this is still available I'd definitely recommend you get it, its so lovely.

I also got the Estee Lauder Modern Muse Rollerball Trio and they all smell so nice! My favourite is definitely the Modern Muse.  I really love the little bows on this as they're very cute.

Finally, I got this lovely Michael Kors watch which I am in love with.  Rose Gold is my favourite so its safe to say, I will probably be wearing this watch forever more! I also got a gold bracelet which is just as nice as the watch.  I think its so nice to be able to think that I got these 2 beautiful things for my 21st. 

One last thing I got was a '21' pandora charm for my bracelet from my best friend at uni, so she gets lots of friend points! Haha.

I was also taken to a lovely Hotel in Suffolk with a spa so I had some lovely treatments with my mum.  We did have dinner at the hotel which was a disaster so lets not talk about and focus on the good time we had at the spa! 

Hope you enjoyed reading this post and please know I am not trying to show off or brag or anything! I'm very grateful for everything I received/did for my birthday :)

Christmas Gift Sets | Blogmas Day 2

Hello everyone!

There are a lot of Christmas gift sets that I'm loving this year and think would be the perfect gift for friends and family or to ask for for yourself! I have a list of high end ones and drugstore.

Estee Lauder The Makeup Artist Collection
This is an amazing offer at the moment.  The product is worth £290, but if you buy an Estee Lauder fragrance you can purchase it for £54!! This set contains everything you could need, in my opinion.  I love Estee Lauder as well so this is definitely something I want to try and get!

Soap & Glory Soaper Star 
 I got this as a Christmas present last year and I have used every single thing in this set.  I loved it! I 100% recommend this for a present for someone or even getting it yourself.

Soap & Glory Eyes Box 
Soap and Glory have some really good sets out this year.  I also love this eye box.  All the products are this in full size and for £18 I think that is very good value!

Real Techniques Bold Metals Essentials with a Clutch Bag
Now this is a bit more expensive, but in this set you get an exclusive brush as well as a clutch bag.  I think the clutch bag is a really nice idea as you can use it to store the brushes or even on a night out!

Tanya Burr Candy Glam Beauty Essentials Palette
I really like Tanya Burr's items and I think this is a lovely gift for Christmas.  This features 9 special edition eyeshadows, a mini lipgloss and a bronzer and blush.  It also has a really big mirror which is also a really good idea.  For £12 that is very good value!

Benefit Pump up The Party!
Benefit have got some really good sets out for Christmas this year.  I picked this one because of the Roller Lash and POREfessional which I both love. It also features 4 longwear powder shadows and Rockateur.  There's also a couple of other things and for the price I think its a very good purchase!

So that's my top picks for Christmas gift sets.  There are so many more I could have put in, but then this would have been a very long post!

Hope you enjoyed this post and let me know of any sets your eyeing up!

What I Got For Christmas

Since I enjoy reading posts on what people got for Christmas and videos, I thought I would write one.  I am in no way bragging or showing off what I got, I just thought some of you might want to read it :) 

Ted Baker's 'The Girl With The Beautiful Face'

I am well and truly in love with this.  The packaging is perfect and the products inside are even better.   The eye shadow crayons and lipstick are my absolute favourites. 

Soap and Glory: The Soapremes

(Given up taking my own pictures because the quality is rubbish, sorry) 

I do have a slight obsession with Soap and Glory so this was perfect for me, and it had cosy socks!!! What more could you want. 

Giant Ferrero Rocher

Ferrero Rocher are my favourites so getting a giant one in my stocking was like my dream come true., not gonna lie haha.

As well as this, I also got a lot more chocolate but I don't think any of you just want to see pictures of chocolate.  

Besides chocolate, I got lots of Avon nail varnishes.  I actually really like Avon nail varnishes and they aren't too expensive.  A few of the shades I got were, Candy Apple, Sheer love and Creme Brûlée, which are all the 'Gel Finish Nail Enamel'.  I also got the Black 'Colour Trend Starbust Nail Enamel' 

So there are a few of the presents I got, which I am all very grateful for.
