As i was working the day after my actual birthday, 4th December (blog post on my exciting job sooooon). I decided to go out the weekend before whilst at uni with everyone! Our flat decided to have a load of people over and then we all played drinking games before going out into town.
I wore my red bodycon dress from Miss Selfridge, with my black stiletto heels with sparkly bows on the sides, also from miss selfridge! Sadly these items are prettyyy old, so will now be out of stock. My necklace is just a thin plain silver diamante piece, but i thought with all the tan and eyelashes and curly hair that i didn't really need much more going on!
For my make-up i applied my foundation (Rimmel London Wake me Up - in soft beige 200) along with concealer to hide any blemishes. I then used my amazing naked palette from Urban Decay to create a smokey eye look, before i used my liquid liner and added my false lashes. I'm also wearing my Nars blush in shade 'Luster' and my rimmel london apocalips lipgloss in the shade 'Big Bang'.
Few photos from before we left:
So my actual birthday came around and as I was still at uni, my mum drove up to see me. First of all we went to my room and i opened some of the presents she had brought up with her. My main present of the day was going shopping, and after a lovelyyy day out i got bought the most lovely things EVER. Very lucky girl and i love my mum to bits.
Item 1. From Mum and Dad
I was super excited to be able to get these. These boots are Kurt Geiger, From the Miss KG collection and are called 'bonjour'. I fell in love with these straight away, and have been wearing them loads ever since. They are soooo so comfy despite having a heel, and you can drive in them easily which is a bonus. I can't think of any faults to give to these. Go and buy a pair!
Item 2. From Mum and Dad
If you go back to my wish list blog post, you'll see a fur coat that i posted about. I GOT IT. I can't find a picture on the website, i was scared it had gone out of stock but luckily found one in store. It was retailed at £89 and was from Miss Selfridge. Its a long coat, all faux fur with a silky satin lining and sooo so warm! Perfect for the weather at the moment. Here's a picture of me wearing both the boots and coat before my birthday flat meal out:
Item 3 & 4. From Mum and Dad
I then got some NARS make-up to replace the blusher that i dropped, and the lipgloss pencil that i used so much off it ran out. The blusher is the most gorgeous peachy shade, and called Luster, retailed at £21.50. I love it because it instantly warms up your face after application. Especially nice to wear in the warmer months!
The lipgloss i bought is so cool. They're called velvet gloss lip pencils and i'd never seen a lipgloss in this way before. There were only 10 shades to choose from, but i bought the same shade i had used before which was called 'New Lover'.
These lipgloss don't have that horrible sticky feeling once applied and feel more like a lip balm on the lips, the colour is also a really natural shade, enhancing your lips to look just a teeeeny bit more flushed. Retailed at around £17. http://www.narscosmetics.co.uk/color/lips/lip-gloss/velvet-gloss-lip-pencil/new-lover
Item 5. From Mum and Dad
Ok so don't hate, but i got 1D's perfume. I love it! It's the perfect scent for me, super sweet and floral girly smell and the bottle is so pink and pretty. I also love one direction and i'm not even ashamed so of course i'd love this perfume anyway.
Item 6. From my sister.
My 12 year old sister bless her, went out and bought me the 'Cherry Me' babylips lip balm by Maybelline. Cherry lips is my favourite one out of the whole collection ( i now own them all and will blog about them soon). It's super soft on your lips and i love the subtle shade of red it brings, makes you look so much healthier! The scent as well is amazing, it literally smells of those cherry drop sweeties, i just want to eat it. The packaging is also really colourful and funky which i like a lot, and easily affordable at £2.99!
Items 7,8,9 & 10. From my boyfriend.
To start with i got the MOST amazing blanket ever in the world. After using his several times i was determined to have my own, in pink of course. And i got it! They're called berkshire blankets and they have a website if you want to have a look as there's a fair few different types. I got the most fleecy thick cosy blanket i think i've ever EVER felt in my life. It's also absolutely huge, easily fitting over a double bed and you don't even need to use a duvet in freezing temperatures its THAT warm. As i am someone who is terrible at dealing with being cold, this was perfect for me!
I then got a beauttttiful framed photo of the two of us which is now sitting nicely on my uni desk, and was a picture that was taken by a professional camera so it's a lot nicer than the normal photos. It was also a lovely thing to get as he's out of the country currently, so i have a little thing to remember him by. Love love love.
Now these two things would probably come across as weird, but they're inside jokes. Because of all the litter at uni there are a LOAD of cute squirrels running all over the place, and as i am an animal freak i take the time to feed them out my bedroom and kitchen window. I named the first squirrel i fed Timmy, and now whenever i see a squirrel i claim it to be Timmy, and therefore was given my own squirrel (teddy form) so i now own a beautiful Timmy. The second inside joke present is even weirder. My boyfriend absolutely hates the way i cut up cheese (i cut it fine) but just because it isn't perfect neat slices, he gets annoyed when a hack away at a block of cheese and leave it in a zig zag mess. Therefore he bought me a cheese slicer hahaha, which i struggle to use as it's so confusing and i don't have the strength.
Item 11 & 12. From my Auntie and Uncle
I got a lovely golden slinky chain necklace and a pink lepoard print purse from River Island. Here is a photo of me wearing the necklace :
After my day out shopping i came back and my flat went out for a Nando's! One of my flat mates organised for a waiter to sing happy birthday to me and bring me some cheesecake mmmm. After our meal we went back, and i found out my flat mates had bought me a birthday cake and a card. I also skyped my boyfriend and then went to bed! Perfect day, Happy 20th to me!
