21st Birthday Haul!
Hi everyone!
Today I have my 21st Birthday Haul. I turned 21 on the 7th December 2015 and I thought I'd share with you what I got for my birthday.
Quick disclaimer- I received all of this for my birthday, I am not bragging or anything, just what I got and I didn't know I was getting all this. I am also not including prices of any items because I don't know the prices as they were gifted to me.
I hope you enjoy!
Makeup
Everyone around me clearly know me so well because I got quite a few makeup items for my birthday.
So the first thing I got was this amazing Makeup Revolution set. This is part of their Christmas gift set collection (perks of a Decemeber birthday haha). This set is amazing! It includes 3 brushes (F104 [face brush], E103 [fluffy blending brush] and E101 [small, flat brush]), a mini, black, liquid eye liner, a cheeks trio, 2 intense lip glosses (no shade names), 2 amazing lipstick (no shade names), a focus and fix eye primer, a highlighter and an exclusive redemption palette. This is a brilliant set and I can't wait to start playing around with everything in here.
Next I got the Real Techniques 'Essential Travels' brush set. I am a huge fan of the Real Techniques brushes (I swear by their expert face brush and contour brush) so I was so pleased I got some more because the quality is so brilliant on these brushes.
I got the Flawless palette from Makeup Revolution. I have been eyeing this up for the longest time! I've just never committed to buying it so I am so excited to finally have it! The colours are gorgeous and of course, they are pigmented (I know this as I've swatched it many times in the shop).
I got the 'Girls On Film' salvation palette. I think my mum chose this one because I love the song called Girls on Film by Durran Durran. But it's full of cool tone shadows and I love that because I tend to go towards warm tones so having a full palette of cool tones will be an asset to my collection.
I got 3 Maybelline lipsticks but my mum accidentally picked up 2 of the same shade so we're going to see of we can change that as it won't be used or swatched. I got the shades '975 Divine Wine' (right) and '338 Midnight Plum' (left). Ones a matte and ones kind of shimmery and I can't wait to use these!
Last but not least for makeup, I got two of the Nyx Liquid Suade lipsticks. I chose these a week before my birthday and my parents offered to buy them for me for my birthday so I love these shades! I can't wait to try these and I am looking forward to trying more from Nyx now we've got it at Boots in the UK now!
Perfume
I got 2 perfumes. I got both of Lady Gaga's ones. I had asked for 'The Fame' (left) so that is just a replacement and 'Eau De Gaga' was a complete surprise. I can't describe smells so I'm not really going to try to but The fame smells fruitier and sweeter where as Eau De Gaga is more musky and strong.
DVDs
I got 2 DVDs. Inside Out which I love! It's a Disney Pixar film and I saw it at the Cinema and it's just brilliant. Shooting For Socrates which I also saw at the cinema which is about football but it has my favourite actor in, Nico Mirallegro, so I'm chuffed I got it.
Chocolates
I got 3 boxes of Thornton's Chocolate. I am such a choco-holic so I will be enjoying these a lot. Getting me chocolate is always a win really.
Lush
The last stuff I got was Lush so it's the last section now! I got 2 bath bombs from my brother and his girlfriend. I got the Star Dust and the Father Christmas one. I've had the Father Christmas one before and I love it and it smells like Snow Fairy which is one of my favourite smells ever! Star Dust I've never had before so I can't wait to try it. I'm spotting some blue in there so hopefully it will be nice and colourful in the bath.
I got a small bottle of Snow Fairy, as mentioned above, is one of my favourite scents and I get some every year for myself so I'm glad I have some more!
From my parents, I got a £30 Lush gift card so I can get anything I want. I'm seriously impressed with this for a number of reasons. One, I love Lush and having this will be brilliant for me and Two, my mum can't even set foot in a Lush store, not even in the vicinity, so I'm so impressed that she went in to get this! But I can't wait to spend this on some nice stuff!
And last but not least for Lush stuff, we have the Cosmic Gift Set which is from my amazing friend, Diana, from America! This was a total surprise and I can't thank her enough for this! I love the two bath bombs in it too. It includes the Intergalactic (my favourite all year round bath bomb) and the Twilight. I love this set and they are some awesome bath bombs!
-----------------------------------
And that's it! I have got some experiences also. I got Fall Out Boy concert tickets, and that gig has already been and it was incredible! I also got Panic! At The Disco tickets for next year (they are my all time favourite band so this is just amazing). My parents are also saving me some money for a tattoo (when I'm brave enough to get one haha).
Overall, I've been truly spoilt and I wasn't expecting this much! I've had a brilliant birthday and my celebrations are not done yet.
I hope you enjoyed this post and until next time, happy reading. Bye xx
