What I got for my Birthday | 2018

My birthday felt like it was yesterday but also as if it was months ago, any August babies feel me? Having a birthday during the summer is great but the yearly wait for my birthday seems like it's getting longer and longer. Here's a few of my favourite gifts from my closest friends & family, I was incredibly spoilt this year and I am eternally grateful for everything and everyone. *Cue the makeup*

+ Huda Beauty Rose-gold Palette
I have the sweetest friends ever, I could not believe the fact that they got me this. This palette is gorgeous, while I'm not the biggest fan of 'Huda Beauty' herself I give props to her makeup range. The glitter shades are my favourite, I love using pink, copper and gold for inner corner highlight.

+ Zara Nude Bouquet 100ml
Not only does this smell great but it holds more meaning than your average perfume. When visiting my friends in Birmingham we popped into Zara and browsed through their fragrances, I told them how I really want to try one of them. A few days after my birthday it came through the post with our infamous Whatsapp group name.

+ Anastasia Beverly Hills Glow Kit
Highlighter, dewy and glowy makeup is my jam when it comes to putting on my face. I love all the shades in this glow kit and can't wait to use it continuously. Zainab really pulled out the stops this year with this, a burgundy fur coat (I have an unhealthy obsession of fur coats & coats in general) and her classic peanut butter filled chocolate cupcakes.

+ Beauty blender
I needed this after my old beauty blender started to collect dust, figuratively. I've never owned the real one, while I am yet to use this as I would like to preserve the newness of the critically acclaimed beauty blender I can't wait to blend the shit out of my face.

+ PewterHooter Swarovski earrings
I always have a special place for jewellery, and these are beautiful they may be simple and small but they look great on especially when worn with other earrings.

Miscellaneous Monthly Must-Haves | March

March is a little bit of an awkward month for me, it always has been. It's no longer the start of the new year but it's also not quite Spring yet and it's part of the few transitional months before exam stress kicks in. The first week of March was spent questioning the weather and to be specific, questioning the copious amount of snow we were hit with. In terms of productivity my biggest accomplishment of this month was finally finishing off Gossip Girl, oh an my sponsored post with Quiz clothing! I'm sharing a few of my favourites for this month and the latter half of February.

+ Gold Hoops - Claire's

These have been in my ears ever since I picked them up, they're so elegant. When it comes to jewellery it is all-gold for me, it looks so much more classier but can also be incredibly hard to find especially when majority of the hoops sold in high street stores are silver. These are nice and small, they're incredibly lightweight and look great paired with more hoops.

+ La Roche Posay Effaclar Duo+

Ever since trying this more than a year ago and noticing a difference in my skin, I finally caved and picked it up from Boots when buying my lunch. How convenient? I have used this consistently since, however I will only apply it in areas that are blemish prone and require a little extra help as it can dry out your skin.

+ White fluffy Jumper - Zara

While this might have been an impulse buy, you can never own too many white jumpers! Jumpers & trousers are my go-to when it comes to dressing myself, it's a cosy option but also one I feel good in. This has a neck I would otherwise despise but the white swirly fur swayed me, I love experimenting with new textures.

+ Suede Thigh high boots - Asos

Honestly speaking, I did not think I would wear these boots as much as I have simply because they can be a little dressy for everyday. I love styling them with an all-black outfit because of the contrast of the different textures. Considering I have worn them in the rain multiple times they have help up surprisingly well, not that I am complaining.

+ Black crossbody bag

I go through phases with makeup, fashion and accessories and it's safe to say that I am obsessing over this bag again. I bought this strap from H&M and it's completely revamped the entire bag. I adore the chain detailing which is braided into the leather strap.
