Birthday Haul!

Hey!

Sorry I haven't posted in such a long while, but I promise I have a good reason. It was my birthday on the 16th on this month so I was caught up in doing lots of fun things with all my favourite people to celebrate that. It was my 17th birthday, and the reason I am mentioning this is because this blog post is going to be all about a few things I got for my birthday! So here goes!

So first of all from my mum I got a lipgloss. And it's not just any old lipgloss. It's a Chanel lipgloss. I have wanted this Chanel lipgloss for quite a while now, it is in the shade Genie and I had heard a lot of good things about these lipglosses such as the fact they are not sticky or gloopy (is that a word?), and lasted on your lips for ages, and these claims are all true. When I saw this colour online I loved it, but when I saw it in store it shocked me as it was BRIGHT ORANGE. But then the lady behind the counter tried it out on me it turned out to be a nude/coral colour, and I loved it again :)

Another present I got from my mum was the nicest pair of earrings ever, they are dangly earrings in a teardrop/pear shape, with gold round the outside and a orange/peach colour gem on the inside. I really like these earrings and have lots of lipsticks and glosses that go well with them!

Next up, again from my mum I got a magazine subscription to Glamour magazine as it is one of my favourites, and I love all the fashion and beauty bits in it.

 I also got from my mum a New Look voucher, driving lessons, a Nando's giftcard, and the cutest birthday card with a pug on the front!

I also got a hair treatment set from TRESemme which is specifically for coloured/bleached hair, as another one of my presents from my mum was going to the salon to get my hair done.

 I got blonde ombre put in my hair, and I really really like it. It's not too blonde, more of a caramel colour, and I'm really pleased with how it turned out (even if it did take 3 HOURS in the salon!!!!!).

From my lovely friends I got a gift set of the Shea Butter products from The Body Shop, a Costa Coffee voucher, and an Itunes voucher. And also because she is the best, one of my closest chummies threw me a surprise birthday party! It was so much fun, and made me smile for ages.


So those were a few things I got for my birthday, I didn't include everything because I didn't want this blog post to go on for too long and get boring, and also I didn't want to look like I was bragging (which I wasn't). I also didn't include prices as I thought that may have seemed like I was showing off also. I just thought this 'Birthday Haul' was a fun idea that I would enjoy writing and hopefully you would enjoy reading!


With love, Jessica xx


P.s - Just as a side note, if your looking for a book to read or just feel like giving something new a try, I would 100% recommend A Fault in Our Stars by John Green. I am about two thirds of the way into this book, and although it is quite sad and about a sensitive subject, it is also funny, heart-wrenching and extremely relatable. I would quite happily say it's one of the best books I have and will ever read, and would definatley suggest you read this too. :) The film of this book is due to come out around July time this year, so if you want to read this book I would get reading now so you definatley fit it in before seeing the film!



Also a youtuber called Troye Sivan has written a song about this book, and it is amazing, so if you have read this book or are in the process of reading it, I would highly recommend checking that out here! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OqG55HdmKTE
