As it was my birthday a couple of days ago, I thought I would share with you some of the gifts that I received. I personally love watching these kinds of videos on YouTube and find them a great source of inspiration for gifts for friends :-)
I absolutely adore the colour and design of this photo frame, which will be perfect for my new university room. My boyfriend put his card in the frame (it is a very cool card) so I will either leave it in there or I am considering switching it out for a printed quote.
For a long time I have wanted a case to protect my laptop but have never really found one that appealed to me. So when I stumbled upon this beauty, I knew I needed to add it to my wish list and was so thrilled when I received it.
Because who doesn't love chocolate?
Lush are one of my all-time favourite skincare brands and this body lotion does everything you could wish for. Plus it smells of vanilla with a hint of kiwi - what's not to love?
This scent is the newest to the Body Shops range and for summer I would say they have ticked the boxes with fresh lime and mint. I love using body butter's for when my skin is feeling very dry, as they are extremely moisturising.
I have never tried a shampoo bar from Lush or any other brand before so I am excited to see how I get on with this one - hopefully my hair will smell as good as it does in the packet!
I tried this for the first time last night and I woke up with super soft and refreshed skin, making me one very happy lady.
As some of you may know I study fashion design at university so this gift was very thoughtful. It will be great for taking down notes in lectures or using it to scribble down design ideas :-)
I cannot wait to decorate my new room at university with these, they will go perfectly with my photo frame and make my room look super cosy.
This will also go into my new room. As I do not have a pin board, I thought that this would be a great way to display my favourite polaroid pictures. The kit comes complete with a rope, mini pegs and two push pins.
David Nicholls book One Day is one of my all time favourites, so I am super eager to read this one and it will be perfect for me to take away on holiday :-)
Ever since I bought my first lip liner a month or so ago I have been obsessed. I never realised how much difference they made to defining your lips and keeping your lipstick on for longer! This beautiful shade is a dark pink/red and goes perfectly with the Amazing Grace Lipstick.
For a few years I have religiously worn Marc Jacobs Daisy perfume and to be honest been stuck in a bit of a rut with it. When my best friend bought me this I didn't know what to expect at first because I thought what exactly did 'Black Amber' smell like? However, once I opened the classic black bottle and spritzed some perfume out I was in heaven, it is a clean refreshing scent and I would urge you to go out and smell it yourself :-)
I have been eyeing up this lipstick for a few months now and it is just as beautiful in person as it is online, and as for the packaging it is rose gold so what more needs to be said? I wore it out to my birthday meal and was very impressed with the pigmentation and staying power, considering I had devoured a steak and dessert!
Top Tip: Check through the person you are buying for's social media accounts such as Instagram or Tumblr to get some inspiration of things that they like (my best friend said she did this for me!)
Lots of love,
