What I Got For My Birthday & Christmas | 2016

Today's post is a really exciting post because I'm going to share with you what I got for my birthday and Christmas. Last year and this year I combined the two posts together because my birthday and Christmas are quite close (my birthday is 8th December btw) and I thought it would be easier to combine them together so I hope you don't mind for the long wait.

Birthday
Clean Shopper Bag from Topshop- I love handbags as you probably know and for my birthday I got this lovely black bag from Topshop which is so nice and it goes with everything and it's amazing quailty- I've also never had a bag from Topshop so this is amazing.

Oatmeal Cozy Lace Snood- Another thing I love are snoods and I got this really cozy one for my birthday. I didn't have any in this colour and I've worn it a lot since my birthday as it's gone with lots of different outfits and looked really cute.

Metallic Gold Zip Around Purse- Recently I've really been loving purses and for my birthday I got this new one which I really like. It's the perfect way I love my purses and it goes really well with my bag so I love them two together.

Lilac & Pink Original Tangle Teezer- My Tangle Teezer is coming up for 2 years old so I thought it would be good to get a fresh one, especially as my old one was a Christmas present. I love the colours of this one as they're really cute and now I have two tangle teezers- one for my bag and one to keep at home.

Rose Gold Statement Necklace- Slowly rose gold has become a favourite of mine (I used to hate it when YouTubers would always bang on about it) and this necklace is so gorgeous and looks amazing with plain tops.

Indigo Jeggings- Another present I got was some dark blue jeggings from Primark because I love the Primark Comfort Stretch Jeggings fit and I only had black ones so it was time to get blue ones and I have worn these so much since.

Lush Shoot For The Stars Bath Bomb- Next up I got a lot of Lush products and the first one was this Shoot For The Stars bath bomb which smelt really nice and turned the water into a gorgeous blue colour and the actual bath bomb looked really nice.

Lush Father Christmas Bath Bomb- This is a classic Lush Christmas bath bomb that I hadn't tried but after using it I did really like it so I'm really happy I received this.

Lush Candy Mountain Bubble Bar- My favourite! I love this scent (which is the Snow Fairy scent) and I love that it creates so many bubbles and turns the water pink and I always use this when I'm having a bad day so I was glad to get another.

Lush The Christmas Penguin Bubble Bar and Lush Golden Wonder Bath Bomb- The last two bubble bars/bath bombs I recieved were these two and these are again classics that I hadn't used but I wished I had used them sooner as I really liked them both. 

Lush Santa Baby & Bubblegum Lip Scrub- I also got two lip scrubs from Lush; one from the Christmas collection and one from the normal collection. They both smell really nice and I do find they do help chapped lips, especially in the cold season that we're currently in.

Soap & Glory Foam & Fortune Gift Set- Soap & Glory isn't a brand I buy from much so that's why I was really excited about this gift set as I can try out two different shower gels, body scrubs and body butters and there's two scents, the normal and the sugar crush, both smell great!

eos Pomegranate Raspberry Lip Balm- Last year I got a set of five different eos flavours (which I'm still using and loving) but I got a new scent this year and it's pomegranate raspberry which smells amazing and like the others it's really moisturising. 

Malteasers and Fox's Fabulously Biscuit Selection- I love food. So buying me food is an amazing present and that's why my friends Cerys and Nicha did. The malteasers are all gone but I still have some of the biscuits from Nicha as there were a lot in there!

365 Day Fashionable Diary- My friend Cerys also got me an undated diary which is great as I love stationery and the quote reflects us both as we judge everyone's outfits (especially our teachers). She also wrote a cute message in the front that no one would understand because we're mental.

Girl Online On Tour by Zoe Sugg- The Girl Online books always come out near my birthday/Christmas so I always ask for them and again my sister got it and I'm really excited to read it as I've been waiting for it for ages.


Victoria's Secret Pink Campus Backpack- I wanted one of these for ages and I fianlly got it and I love it! It's my school bag and there's so many pockets which means it's heaven for me because my old school bag had one.

NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in 604 Milk- Again something else I wanted for ages and to be honest I don't know why I hadn't bought it. I've used it a lot since my birthday and it's perfect for the inner eye to make you look more awake.

Mac Powder Blush in Fleur Power- My first ever Mac product! I love blush so that's why I chose a blush to be my first ever Mac product and omg it's better than I thought and honestly I haven't used another blush since my birthday because this is my baby. 

Christmas-
Flower Pharm Wild Rose Bath Bombs- My friend Nicha got me this set of 3 rose scented bath bombs for  Christmas and they're really good and they do make the bath smell really nice and I still have two left so I cant wait to use them. 

Light Up L Tree Ornament- This is one of the two presents that Cerys got me and I really like this cute little ornament but you could use it anytime of the year which is what I'm going to do as I've got it on my desk and it looks really cute.

Baylis & Harding Midnight Fig & Pomegranate Gift Set- Cerys also got me this Baylis and Harding gift set which included a 50ml shower gel and a 30ml body lotion and they were both really lovely to use but I have sadly used them both up now. 

Joe & Caspar Hit The Road USA DVD- Last year for Christmas I got the first Hit The Road DVD and this year I got the second one where they travel around America. I haven't watched it yet but I am really excited to watch it.

Joe & Caspar Hit The Road USA Calendar- Every year I get a calendar and like last year I decided to get the Joe and Caspar one because I really liked having it in 2016 and I didn't really know what calendar to get for 2017.

Superdry Beauty Gym Edit Spritz & Fix Trio- Okay so I am not someone who goes to the gym but this is a handy little set as it has a really nice smelling body mist, a lip balm and a mirror in a handy clear bag which is perfect for your handbag or school bag. 

Pink Peppermint Candy Swirl Beauticology Cracker- This is a cute little gift that includes a body lotion and a shower gel that both smell amazing and you can never have enough shower gels and body lotions as I use them everyday.

Lush Products- I did go to the Lush boxing day sales and I bought a lot of Lush stuff as I had run out a couple of days before so I wanted to be stocked up, especially as Lush had 50% off their Christmas range so I only bought Christmas bath bombs and bubble bars which are: 
-Candy Mountain Bubble Bar
-Never Mind The Ballistic Bath Bomb
-Shoot For The Stars Bath Bomb
-Magic Wand Bubble Bar Wand
-So White bath bomb
-Ruby Red Slippers Bubble Bar
-Northern Lights bath bomb
-Little Snow Fairy Gift Set (includes 100g Snow Fairy shower gel and 100g Snow Fairy Fun)

Victoria's Secret Pink Mint Logo Jumper- In the Pink boxing day sale I got this jumper which I really like as it's really cosy and I got it in a medium so it's perfect for lazy days as it's baggy and cosy.

Real Techniques Base Core Collection Set- I've wanted Real Techniques brushes for ages as everyone uses them and loves them and I got the base set which is what I wanted as I use the most brushes on my base and I've used them and they're really good.

Mint Carmen Jumper from River Island- I got a River Island gift card and this is what I spent it on. I got this jumper in a size 8 but it's big (which I like) and it's so fluffy and cosy and perfect for home, which is where I've been wearing it. 

Victoria's Secret Pink Wild & Brezzy 2 in 1 Wash & Scrub- In the Victoria's Secret sales they had some bodycare on offer and I decided to pink up this wash and scrub because I've used other scents before and they're really good and I do really like this scent as I have it as a body mist.

Paperchase Vintage Floral Organiser- For the new year I wanted to get a new planner as a new year new start kind of thing and this was my favourite that Paperchase had. The inserts aren't what I like so I'm just going to stick to my current planning system.

Benefit They're Real Beyond Mascara- A lot of people rave about this mascara so I decided to get it with Christmas money; I haven't tried it yet as I only bought it today but I'm really excited to try it.

So that's everything that I got for my birthday and Christmas and I'm very grateful for everything I received and I'm not boasting but I thought it would be nice to do this post. Let me know in the comments what you got because I would love to know.
