What I got for my birthday♡
Firstly, I'd just like to say I am by no means bragging or boasting about the presents
I received. I am so grateful for every present, card or anyone who said happy birthday
to me! I am so blessed and grateful for my family and friends! I also received some gift
 cards, money and chocolate which aren't photographed.

The first thing I opened from my parents was actually my orthodontist before and after photos!
 My parents also got me the Naked 3 pallet which is something I have been wanting
for forever. Ever since they came out and it is such a stunning pallet with a mixture of
wearable natural pinky colours and is so complementary to my eyes and skin tone. I love it oh so much! 




I also received the Real Techniques eye starter set as I don't actually have any eye
brushes as I normally just use my finger and sweep one colour over the lid! Now
I have some new tools! 


I also got an electric toothbrush (running theme of dental care) and 2 books -
 'All I Know Now' by Carrie Hope Fletcher which is such a great book so far and 
'Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me' by Mindy Kaling. I also received 
a beautiful skort from Miss Selfridge in the petite section. Annoyingly, they didn't 
have my usual size so that's why it might look a bit baggy! 


My sister got me some lovely presents. Every time I go into her room and raid her 
makeup stash I always use her Collection blusher in the shade 'Bashful' so she got me 
my own! It is such a lovely subtle raspberry pink shade and is such a beautiful shade on the
 apples of the cheeks. She also got me a 'colourful' product. I am a fan of my neutral colours
 but I looked at this with her when we went shopping and quite fancied it! It's a 
limited edition Collection Eye Shadow pencil in the shade 'Summer Meadow' which is
 green! Very different but very pretty! 

I was also in need of an update in my Yankee Candle collection. My Autumn and Winter 
candles had all gone and some Spring and Summer scents were much needed. She got me
 'Shea Butter' and 'Summer Scoop'! And lastly, she got me the May Day bath bomb which is
 a charity bath bomb which protects badgers I think! Anywho, it smells like vanilla and tea 
which is a lovely scent! 


My Auntie got me a book called 'To all the boys I've loved before' by Jenny Han which I 
think will be a perfect Summer read. She also got me a cute little cake tin! My cousin, 
Molly got me a WH Smith voucher so I can have a little book buying session! 


My Disney loving friend, Sophie got me some Disney themed gifts! She got me Hercules 
on DVD which I don't yet have on DVD so I am looking forward to watching that! She also
 got me a Tsum Tsum which are the cute little disney toys and this one is Marie from the 
Aristocats! She also got me Beauty and the Beast in book form which as most of you know, 
my favourite Disney princess! 


From my lovely friends Millie, Charlotte and Ellie got me a selection of room things 
which are already homed! They match my room perfectly and are so pretty!


My lovely friend Ellie also got me some mint frilly socks which are so cute! My 
lovely friend Emily got me some cute hair accessories which will be perfect for the 
Summer time! 


I also received some cute beauty items. From my lovely friend Emily, I got the Tanya Burr 
nail polish in the shade 'Mini Marshmallows' which is a beautiful pastel pink shade and also a 
shower gel in the scent 'Strawberries and Cream' which I am enjoying! My lovely friend 
Lucy got me my first MAC lipstick in the shade 'Hue'. I was so shocked when I opened this
 as I was not expecting it at all and I am no longer a 'Mac virgin' as the beauty bloggers would say! My lovely friend Ellie, also got me 'Pop in the bath' from Lush which is a bubble bar.
 I've had this before and it is so nice! My lovely friend Jenny also got me some edible 
goodies and some money! 


From my cousin and my second cousins I got a Cath Kidston scrap book which is so cute 
and right up my street! I can't wait to use this in the Summer! My friend Emily also got 
me a Sticky Notes Memo folder which has lots of cute sticky notes in floral patterns 
for pen palling! 


Thank you again to everyone who has given me anything or even said Happy Birthday to
 me. I am so grateful! 


Emily xx
