On the 29th of June It was my 20th birthday and I got some amazing presents which I thought I’d share with you guys! 

From my mum I was given my iPad which I am going to do a seperate post on and I was given some money. 

From my dad I was given the Marc Jacobs Daisy ‘Sorbet’ limited edition perfume. 

I’ve had my eye on this perfume for a while so getting it for my birthday was brilliant. It smells incredibly sugary and I find it stronger than other Marc Jacobs perfumes. 

From my brother I was given the Pink Sands candle from Yankee Candle. 

My brother and I have always loved Yankee Candles because of their interesting names and beautiful smells. A few years ago I bought a box of three candles and Pink Sands was one of the three. Now I have a large candle instead! I love this scent, it seems incredibly girly and reminds me of summer and days in the sun. Highly recommend! 

My grandparents gave me a bunch of little things. 

This is a notepad that only opens when the pen is released. It’s so cute with the birds on the front and the purple colour. So helpful too when I need to remember stuff. 

They also got me some makeup from Loreal. They got me a Loreal eyeshadow palette and the volume million lashes mascara. These eye shadows are very neutral and muted but you can build them up to get more of an impact. I haven’t stopped using this mascara since I got it! It is amazing! It has the length and volume of they’re real by benefit but doesn’t clump or feel heavy on my eyelashes. It’s amazing! I definitely recommend! 

From my boyfriend I got some beautiful jewellery (which I helped pick out haha)

The first thing he got me was a beautiful teardrop necklace which had a light blue stone in it. I love this necklace as it is definitely one of my more showy necklaces that I can’t wait to wear on a dinner date or something. 

He also got me this beautiful ring that has a pearl on it which is my birth stone. I thought this was an adorable gift because it is relatable to myself and has its own meaning behind it. 

From my aunt and uncle I was given a TK Maxx gift card which I have yet to use. 

What has been your favourite birthday present?

Until next time.
