What I got for my birthday 2016 – A couple of days ago it was my 29th birthday and I was a very lucky girl this year with some of the gifts I received. I was also treated to tickets to see Guys & Dolls in the West End which is currently starring Rebel Wilson; the show was brilliant and she was fabulous!
What I got for my birthday 2016
Clarins makeup
Every year I seem to lust after the Clarins summer collection and finally this year I was like, no more lusting, I need! The packaging is beautiful, the product looks beautiful and I can’t wait to get bronzing!
While at the Clarins counter, I mentioned that I had seen a couple of people on Instagram wearing the Joli Rouge lipsticks. I mentioned to the sales assistant that the Clarins lipstick colours I had seen on Instagram were like a bright red but I couldn’t remember seeing a specific shade number or name mentioned.
From this, she knew I was after the classic and original Joli Rouge (no. 742). I don’t yet have a proper, high quality classic red in my collection so I am delighted with this colour.
Pandora charm
A few weeks ago I posted about my Pandora charm collection, and I got the new rose gold and crystal butterfly charm from my in-laws to add to my collection; it’s so cute!
Classic pair of pearl earrings
For someone who used to wear earrings every single day, now I hardly ever seem to which is quite bizarre. Then I find when I do wear earrings, the quality of them seems to irritate me, so I take them out.
I don’t think you can go wrong with a classic pair of pearl earrings and there comes a time when they are the perfect present for many young women and my 29th birthday is the year to receive mine.
I treated myself to two presents this year, the first you saw the other day -my new TDS bomber jacket, and Fleur De Force’s new book, The Luxe Life. I haven’t got her first book but I love these type of lifestyle books and I can tell just from a quick flick through that this is a beautiful book and a lovely addition to my collection.
What have been your all time favourite birthday presents?
Until next time x
