Birthday Haul

 
 Earrings; Oasis - Necklace; H&M - Bracelet;Accessorize
 
I wouldn't normally do a post like this, but for my 17th birthday I did receive some really nice items and I thought I'd share with you guys!
This is in no way bragging or showing off, I am really grateful for all gifts that I receive from my family and friends. Hopefully this can give you some help if you are struggling for a birthday gift for someone, or maybe just tempt you into buying a little gift for yourself ;)!
 
 
 
Absolutely love this white sheer shirt, however I think I'll have to take it back because the collar just doesn't sit right on me. Its a shame because it is so beautiful, so I'm definitely on the look out for one similar - let me know in the comments if you have any recommendations :) I thought I'd still include as I did still receive it as a gift and also it might appeal to some of you! (p.s. I'm still keeping the necklace as it is so beaaaauutifulll!!)
 
     
 Believe it or not, this little bracelet was in the Accessorize sale for like £2/3 which I think is a bargain for this as it is so pretty and flattering. I had my eye on this for a while, so was super happy when my gran gave me it is a present - I must have dropped enough hints haha.
 

 
So, I didn't know whether to include these items or not... because you know, its underwear. However I thought they were to sweet not to include, these are again from Accessorize (they do the best lingerie)
 
 
These next few pictures are all gifts that I received from my two friends. They clearly know me well! Not entirely sure where the cute basket is from, I'm sure it can be picked up anywhere. I really thought this was a good idea for a birthday gift, something a bit different and all things that I will definitely use. Cant wait to pamper myself.
 
 
 
Aussie miracle conditioner - Simple face wash - Nail polish remover pads - Soap and Glory body buff - Body shop shower gel - body shop soap
 
Just a quick note, the body shop shower gel and soap is in the scent pink grapefruit and smells absolutely amazing. I cant even put into words how nice it is! If you are a great lover of fruity (and a little bit zingy) scents I really would recommend you go into the Body Shop to smell these. You don't even need to buy it haha, just smell it!
 
 
 
Lastly, a few makeup items. I received the MUA nail polish in the colour Koala Bear (cute name alert), the shade isn't really shown to its best in the picture above but its a greyish almost purple colour. When applied I think it is really lovely however only downside is it needs quite a lot of coats, 3 to be exact. The Maybelline Colour Tattoo is in the colour permanent taupe and is basically a matte taupe, I love these cream eye shadows and this one is a nice little add to my collection! Lastly, I received the infamous Lush bubble-gum lip scrub, already have one of these but I cant go wrong with another one :)!
 
 
I really hoped you liked this post. Again i just want to add that I am not showing off, I just thought it be a nice change and a little inspiration if you're buying someone a gift!
 
Sincerely, Nicole
