As you may know, this Saturday is my birthday! I'm actually working all day, so last weekend my Dad took me shopping to pick out some things that I wanted. I didn't ask for anything in particular this year, so this was much easier!
The first place I went was Primark. Firstly I picked up a couple of vests - one yellow lace top and one thin navy top. I also bought some new pyjama bottoms as I absolutely love the Primark ones and definitely needed some new PJ's. I then chose a couple of cute gold necklaces, as I really wanted some new jewellery. And lastly, I got a 5 pack of ankle frilly socks along with some pretty black flats.
Next, I went to Boots - where I probably did the most damage! To start with, I bought a few nail polishes - I got one of the new Barry M Gelly's in Huckleberry, one of the new Models Own speckled polishes in Magpie and an Essie one in the shade Splash of Grenadine. I also got some lip products (a girl can never have too many) - I picked up the Maybelline Colour Sensational Gloss in Cashmere Rose, as I've heard so many good things about it recently. I also chose the Revlon Lacquer Balm in Demure which I've been eyeing up ever since they were released. Next, I bought the Soap & Glory Archery in Brownie Points, which again I've wanted for a long time, and the Charles Worthington Volume & Bounce Texturising Spray. Lastly are a couple of boring bits - the Blistex Intense Moisture Lip Balm and the Blanx White Shock Treatment.
I then went to H&M and Topshop and got a couple of things. In H&M, I got a simple black bag as the one I use at the moment is really tatty and so I needed a new one. I also spotted this gorgeous white jumper with big black daisies on that I love, as well as a cute silver arrow necklace. In Topshop, I picked up a pair of thick leggings/trousers in a black and white checked print, and a dress that I've had saved to my favourites for way too long!
And that's everything I bought! What have you picked up from the shops recently?
New Look earrings / Loverdose perfume / Guerlain perfume set / Rimmel Space Dust nail polishes / MAC quad palette and eye shadows / Nail styling kit / No 7 Highlighting Stick / Dixi jewellery / Paddle brush / No 7 light up compact mirror / Lush Luxury Lush Pud, Phoenix Rising and Fun / Soap & Glory Hand Food / Sally Hansen Insta-Dri top coat.

I hope you all had an amazing Christmas yesterday! I spent the day at home as I usually do, spending time with my family, opening presents and watching lots of Christmas specials on TV! As you all loved seeing what presents I received last year, I thought I'd show you again this year too! I'm in now way bragging or showing off, I just find it really fun to see what other people get so hopefully you do too. The presents shown above are all from my family, but I also got some great gifts from friends as well which I'd opened before Christmas.
I received some really amazing presents, including a MAC quad palette with 4 eyeshadows from my parents, which I can't wait to use (and blog about). Some of my other favourites were the perfumes, jewellery and the bath bits from Lush. I also can't wait to read Allegiant, as I love the Divergent series! One present I wasn't expecting was the ukulele I received from my godmother - it's such a quirky and cute gift and one I can't wait to use!
On the whole, I had a great Christmas, and thank you to everyone who bought me any gifts - I loved everything.
What did you get for Christmas?
