7TEEN

Hey guys!

So on the 14th August I turned 17 and I had such a great birthday! The day began with me opening my presents! I'm actually writing separate blog posts on some of the presents I got which is why they won't be included in this blog! I also opened all of my cards!

I got a big 17 birthday badge which was massive! I was far far too embarrassed to wear it out!

My sisters and I went with my mum and my auntie to the Coffee Yard where us three got hot chocolates. Unfortunately my dad was working - boo!

My birthday outfit consisted of this blue Jack Wills shirt which only arrived in the post on the morning of my birthday - convenient!

I wore my Jack Wills coat with it as it was horrible weather! This coat is super comfy and super warm!

I also wore my Topshop white skinny jeans which I love.

When I came home from being out for coffee, I met Jack and the two of us went up to Belfast on the train. We did a bit of shopping (will appear in future blog posts) and then went for dinner in Chiquito. We got popcorn for starters which was pretty random! 

I thought that the door to the bathroom was pretty cute.

Although it was a Mexican restaurant, all I wanted was a massive burger! It was delicious.

Jack then took me to the cinema to see a movie that we both really wanted to see!

We ate some Randoms which were sweet n sour flavour. I wasn't too sure if I was going to like them but I ended up loving them!

The movie we went to see was the Inbetweeners 2. We had both watched all the episodes and the first movie so we were really excited when the second one was released. Although I think that the first movie was a lot better than the second - but it still was very funny though!

I also had a big massive chocolate cake to eat and it was just perfect!

Once Jack and I came home from Belfast we went to his house where I opened the presents from him and his family which were all so generous. We spent the rest of the night chilling together.

To conclude, my birthday was such a blast. My presents were so cute and I appreciate them all so so much! There will be individual blog posts up soon where I will group together a few of my presents and talk about them individually so look out for them soon!

I hope you enjoyed knowing what I got up to on my birthday!

Love y'all,

Gifts from Greece

Hello everyone!

So my lovely boyfriend has just returned from a family holiday in Greece and I just thought I would share with you what he bought be because I genuinely love every present I was bought and I am so so grateful!

The first presents I opened were five cute wee bracelets all in my favourite colours. They were so adorable and I was so happy with them because I love bracelets and jewellery. With the bracelets, I also opened a keyring with the letter "E" on it and a little ball saying "Rhodes" with the Greek flag.

I then opened a massive bag of jelly sweets that also said "Rhodes" on them, and they are super tasty!

The final thing in that bag that I opened were two bars of Greek Olive Oil Soap and the packaging was just so lovely and one bar of soap had a key ring attached and the other had a magnet attached. The soaps smelt so good too! I can't wait to use them!

My boyfriend then pulled out a Sephora shopping bag and the first thing I saw in it was a handbag (although it wasn't from Sephora). I looked at it in closer detail and found out that it was a Mulberry bag and inside there was a matching Mulberry purse! I got super super excited because while he was away, I had been looking for a new bag but now I don't need to buy one!

The final two things that I opened were from Sephora. One was a beautiful nail polish which was a luminous violet colour in the shade Dirty Groove. The other item from Sephora was a beautiful make up palette. This palette contains four blushes, two bronzers, twelve shades of lipglosses, three cream eyeliners and thirty three different shades of eyeshadows which are both matte and shimmery. What I absolutely love about this palette is that all of the items are so highly pigmented so you can create some very dramatic looks!

Barry M Lip Stick (Genie)

Hello my lovelies!

Whilst I was on holiday in Majorca, I decided in the airport that I would spent some of my holiday on buying something that I've been wanting for a while. This was the Barry M Lip Paint in Genie.

This is not just any lipstick, but as you see it, it is green. Once you put it on your lips it turns into a pink, and the shade of pink is determined by the alkaline on your lips so it suits your own skin tone. When I heard of this when it came out I just thought it was such a good idea and for a reasonable £4.49! I bought mine from Boots in the airport.

I tried this on when I arrived in Majorca and I decided that I had fallen in love. I went with my two sisters to the pool and assumed it would be off by the time I had spent two hours in the pool - but it hadn't! This lipstick acted like a lip stain which I thought was so great so it doesn't easily wash off.

I now wear this every day on my lips and I sometimes put on a pink lipgloss or a nude lipstick over it and when that product begins to wear off, then the lovely pink lipstick appears!

The more times you apply this, the harsher the colour gets. So if you're only wanting a touch of pink on your lips, a minimal amount of this product is needed. But if you're wanting to go all out with a really vibrant pink lip, then keep applying the product until you build it up to the colour you want.

I showed a few of my friends this when I came home and they tried it on and now they've bought one themselves as well! This is now a must have in my travel make up bag - it's such a great idea and is a long lasting lipstick that will last you all day!

Thanks guys so much for reading! Love you all, xo
