What I Got For My 15th Birthday

It was my 15th birthday yesterday so I have decided to show you what I received. I am not trying to show off in any way but this is just a way to show how grateful I am for everything that I got.

I opened this and thought it was absolutely adorable and quite a coincidence. It is a little flower press. I think it is quite a coincidence because the other day I was saying to my friends that I want to start pressing flowers again and then I opened this the next day!

I always tend to ask for and receive a lot of books. I had asked for this one because for a start I love Connor Franta and because one of my friends already had this book and said it as so aesthetically pleasing and written really well. I have only read a little bit of it but I can conform this.

I got this off one of my friends and I think it is so adorable and I love the print. I haven't decided what I will use it for yet but I will most definitely fill it with something.

I originally saw this book in one of Ingrid Nilsen's monthly favourites and she read out an extract and I fell in love with how it was written. It is a compilation of essays, so is not a story, and is also about feminism. 

My cousin bought me this benefit make-up book and I have had a quick flick through it and I love some of the make-up looks so I might try them on myself.

She also got me this cute necklace that will be added to my collection of necklaces and I can put together some outfits with it.

My auntie Pam bought me this and I love the patterns and I will use it to plan out my blog posts.

My little brother bought me the new pointless blog book, I have flicked through a few pages of this too and it looks really good and is very different to the other books that he has published.

I got a skinnydip glitter phone case off my parents because I had been talking about it for a while and didn't want to buy it myself because it is quite a bit of money for a phone case. I got the wooden phone case off my friend Jade and I really like the print.

I have been asking for this book for about 3 years. Each time I didn't get it but now I finally have it!

I got a MAC make-over experience and £30 to spend in MAC off my auntie, uncle and cousins.

I got this leather backpack off my grandma and grandad and I absolutely love it. I have been asking for one for quite a while but the ones I had seen where too small but this one is perfect and quite big.

New York Haul + Mini Haul

So as you know I went to New York last week. Whilst I was there I got lots of time to shop. Here are a few of the things I got whilst I was there.

I got the Urban Decay Naked 3 palette from Sephora. I saw it as I was walking around and I knew that my mum had said that if I saw it then I could buy it, so I did! This cost $54.00

In Sephora I also got these two face masks. They were Sephora's own and cost $6 each. They are cloth face masks and I have been looking for some like these for a while. I tried tried the green tea mask today and my skin felt really nice.

I have never owned a MAC product before and whilst I was in New York a lot of my friends were buying things and one of the lipstick shades a lot of them got was 'brave' which is also the one that I got. It is quite a neutral colour but a bit more on a pink/red tone compared to 'velvet teddy' which has a more brown tone to it. I have used this already and can safely say that I love it and my mum has already tried to steal it (no joke she literally did)

Before I went to New York I said to myself that I wanted to go into Aeropostale and but something. So that I did. I was looking around and I saw these socks. I know it might seem silly that I bought socks but they are honestly soo fluffy! They cost $6 and I also got served by a hot shop worker (Isabel had already been eyeing him up). I have already worn them so much and they also match my PJ's.

As the good student I am, I bought my dance teacher a fridge magnet because that is literally the only thing she asked for. I just found it in a souvenir shop.

I bought myself and my house a snow globe. It is almost Christmas and my mum asked for a Christmas decoration and I really wanted a snow globe so I got the cheapest one .

When I returned from New York I went with my mum to "return a few items" which then ended up in me getting a few more things from town. OOPS!

From Primark I saw this Harrington jacket from the mens section but who cares if it is the mens section or not. It cost £19.00 and I love it.

In New York a few of the girls had those fingerless gloves that have the flap part on to turn them into mittens. You know the ones that I mean. I saw these black ones and so they also went in the basket. They cost £3.00

I also went into Lush because I hadn't been in there in a while and decided to get this bath bomb named "sex bomb" and all I had in my head was the Tom Jones song whilst I was paying for it. It also smells very nice and only cost £3.50
