Haul: Happy Birthday to Me!

As you can probably tell from the title, it is my birthday today! I thought I would share what I got with you. I did receive money too, but you don’t need to see that.

My parents got me a Mikey London Rose Gold Chain Bracelet, which is extendable because I have quite big wrists. They also got me a Kipling Bag. I’m not too sure what it is called, but it is black with coloured birds all over it. It also has a pink monkey called Alyssa.

My sister got me a Floral Thoughts ‘Apple’ Candle and H.Samuel Long Stud Earrings, which have a light lilac stone design. She also visited a LUSH shop for the first time the other week and asked me if I wanted anything. I told her of a couple of things I was interesting in trying, but she came back empty handed, or so I thought! When I opened my gifts I found she had bought me LUSH Grease Lightning and a LUSH Soap Stack in Rock Star & Godmother. She actually didn’t realise that she had bought a soap stack; she assumed it was just a bar of Rock Star. I can’t wait to use these products because the soaps smell amazing and I’ve heard great things about the spot treatment.

I also treated myself to a little gift. I did the same last year as it was my 21^st, but I think it’s going to be a tradition now. Last year I received a discount gift from FeelUnqiue.com and used it to purchase the Dior Addict IT-LASH Mascara. This year I used their gift to buy myself the Lancôme Hypnȏse STAR Mascara in 01 Midnight Noir, and I just can’t wait to try it! I will definitely be doing a review on this mascara very soon, so keep your eyes peeled!

Do you have any product recommendations for me?

Charlotte Tilbury Starry Eyes To Hypnotise Instant Eye Palette

I purchased this palette as I most recently picked up the Charlotte Tilbury Bejewelled Eyes To Hypnotise Instant Eye Palette and fell in love with it. I had also previously owned the Charlotte Tilbury Stars-In-Your-Eyes Palette and the quality was the same as the Bejewelled version, so I was expecting and hoping this Starry version would be the same. THE PACKAGING The packaging is made of metallic royal blue plastic and it has a long, thin and rectangular shape. It has a glittery silver starburst design across the front. I believe all of these particular palettes have the same starburst design, but the colour varies from palette to palette. It has a magnetic closing, which you lift up to reveal the rectangular eyeshadow pans arranged in threes across a mirrored gold base. The group names are printed in dark brown font under each group of three. The shades don’t really have names, but there is a plastic insert included which labels the eyeshadows as 1 Prime, 2 Enhance or 3 Smoke. There ...

ZOEVA Rose Golden Palette

I saw this palette a while ago on a beauty blog and instantly knew I had to have it. It’s not long launched here in the UK, but it’s already a cult favourite! I just adore the packaging, everything about it! It’s made out of cardboard, but it feels sturdy and durable and it is a gorgeous kind of coffee/red velvet chocolate colour. It has a beautiful rose gold design on the front, with swirls and then a centered key. It has a magnetic closing, which is quite strong because if you hold it from the top when closed and give it a shake, the two parts don’t separate (palette doesn’t open). It has a light feel in general and inside it’s all one beautiful colour and the eyeshadows are well spaced. Around each pan is a rose gold diamond border and underneath in small rose gold letters are the shade names. On the back of the palette is the usual ingredients and other information blurbs. You get ten full size eyeshadows (0.5oz) with matte, metallic or satin finishes and each has a cute...
