My 21st Birthday VLog

As some of you may know this tuesday was my 21st birthday! First off i want to say a massive thankyou to those who wished me a happy birthday it was so sweet and made my birthday amazing! Also a massive thanks to those who followed the blog to help with my target of 21 new followers by my 21st birthday!Although we were a few people short of the goal, i couldn't be thankful enough for every single one of my followers!


I was a very lucky girl and was taken on a day out to London with my mum to pick a birthday present and to have a day out together!
We had a lovely day and wondered around firstly Covent garden, where i picked up a Laduree Macaroon which was so tasty! The shop was so beautiful too as was the whole of the Covent Garden area! We then headed to Leicester Square and Picaddily Circus where we browsed the stores and had some lunch!
We then headed to South Kensington and Knightsbridge where we wandered around the area then headed to Harrods! I always feel like such a kid in a candy store whenever i go there!The store and everything in there is so gorgeous! We bought a few food pieces such as a birthday cake from the food halls, and after looking at the pet area and all the gorgeous designer items, we ended up at the Tiffany's store within Harrod's.
It is here that i ended up picking my birthday present! My mum wanted me to pick something that i could keep forever and i decided on a beautiful and simple silver ring. I chose it as i though it was something that would go with everything and also look good when i was older too! I absolutely love it and am so incredibly grateful to my mum for getting it for me! ( a link to the ring on the Tiffany's website is here!)




I had such a wonderful day, and then we came back and had a jelly and ice cream party with lots of party food (which is a tradition for our family-nearly everyone ends up having one on their birthday!) I didn't actually go out in the evening as i was so tired from the days outing and also because i went out the Saturday for my birthday (OOTN post here).


I recieved some really amazing presents but in no way want to come across as bragging so i won't mention it really on here (unless people specifically ask for it in a comment!) but i just want to say once again thankyou so much to everyone for making my birthday amazing!Love you all!!

Trip To London- Small Haul!

Hello!
Thought i would write a quick post about my little adventure i took last Thursday up to London! I needed to try to cheer myself up as the last week has been terrible,so my sister and i grabbed the train up to London and had a wander around Regent,Oxford and Carnaby street!
I didn't manage to purchase that much as i don't have much money as my student loan doesn't come for another couple of weeks and also its soon my birthday and i have been given strict instructions to not buy too much incase people have bought things similar etc for present haha!
The few things i picked up were from Topshop and from their makeup collection which by the way is absolutely amazing in their Oxford Street store! I purchased two nail varnishes,one called Hypnotic which is a gorgeous silver with a pink/blue duochrome effect which is from their recently released 'Sisters of The New Moon' collection and the other colour is Razzmatazz! This shade is incredible as it is packed full of holographic and silver glitter!As far as i know,this is a brand new shade which has just been released and is part of their permanant collection!No doubt that NOTD's will be coming up with these!

Quick try of the colours!-Razzmatazz on the ring finger, Hypnotic on the others!

The other item i bought from Topshop is their kohl eye pencil in Coal which is black as i have heard wonderful things about it,and although i haven't actually had.a chance to try it on myself yet,when i swatched it instore it was really pigmented and super soft!

Even though i had hardly any money i had such fun swatching lots of different products!As you can see from my photos my hands were covered in all different colours! We went to all the different boots we could find, Selfridges- which is the most fun with the beauty hall,The MAC store on Carnaby street (which was packed!), and also managed to head to the PIXI store also on Carnaby street (which i was a tad disappointed in their customer service which put me off buying which is sad as the products looked lovely!) as well as all the different clothing stores in the area!
The beauty ladies at all the different stores were so lovely and i had to say especially the team at the Benefit on Carnaby street were so nice and we had such fun trying out all the products!


I had such a fun day and it really cheered me up!














I have a final question for you guys too! I really would like to invest in a YSL lip stain but i can only really afford to invest in one as they are around the £21 mark,i swatched a few colours i particularly liked but i would like to know which colour you prefer? Let me know in a comment below!
Which of these do you like best?


What are your favourite places to o in London?Where should i head to bect time i head up there?
