Birthday Weekend Haul + LUSH Snow Fairy GIVEAWAY

Today, July 8, is my 20th birthday. Eek, I've halfway to 40! Someone's getting old! Anyway, I've decided to share some of the things I got for my birthday, as well as stuff I bought myself this weekend.

Friday night I had some friends over for drinks, a catch up and all round birthday merriment. I've been so preoccupied with work experience (my 160 hours are done, by the way), work and Tafe that I haven't had time to see a lot of my friends in ages so it was a fantastic to see everyone again! As I'm sure you can imagine, I was spoilt too.

A make up obsessed friend of mine, Amy at Following the Reader, gave me a four pan Inglot Freedom Palette (and yes, I died when I saw it) with the shades 21, 329, 395 and 402. Unfortunately their names do absolutely nothing to give the shades away, but the photos give you an indication.

My friend, Emily, bought me a beautiful Kate Moss perfume, Lilabelle. It smells beautiful and I love the bottle so much. The Kate Moss Perfume website describes the perfume as 'a pretty, soft fruity floriental which surprises with its tender and elegant touch'. I know that does little to describe the smell but, trust me, it's really nice.

I was given a pair of beautiful earrings by one of my friends, Jacinta, and I can not wait to wear them! 


Jarrad, a friend that knows me all too well, gave me a voucher for Typo to buy a case for my new 13" MacBook Air! I'm so excited to go pick one out, even though their best designs only come in 11" and 15". Last but not least, I was also given some  alcohol, which will definitely come in handy!

Saturday was a busy day for me. As you know, I'm totally LUSH obsessed so it started with me getting up at 6.20am and heading into the city to be a part of their Christmas in July celebrations. For two days only (July 7 and 8) LUSH was selling some of their Christmas stock, including body wash from the Snow Fairy line. Anyway, by 9.20am I'd bought two bottles of Snow Fairy body wash; a 500g bottle for me and, of course, a 250g bottle for the winner of the competition below. I'm so glad I got there early. When I went back a bit later, after doing some shopping, they were all sold! The 250g bottle was $16.95 and the 500g was $28.50. I also received a free Peace Massage Bar.

Whilst shopping I also decided to buy myself a couple of presents. Why? Because it was my birthday the next day and, well, I don't need an excuse to shop. I bought myself a Casual Colour lip and cheek tint in Keep It Loose! and a lipstick in Creme Cup. I've heard a lot about Creme Cup but it never appealed to me. That is, however, until I found out that my shopping companion was wearing it and, well, I fell in love. MAC describes Creme Cup as a light blue based pink and Keep It Loose! as a warm peach.

Last night I went to Lady Gaga's first Perth concert. Wow. What a lady! I'm not a hardcore Gaga fan but I knew she'd put on a fantastic show so my friend and I decided to get tickets. Her costumes were incredible, her singing was amazing and, of course, her hair and make up was awesome!

Anyway, all that brings me to today, my birthday. Today was all about money. My immediate family all gave me money, as requested, to pay for some of my laptop that I mentioned earlier. We all went out for breakfast and then I went to a football game with my Mum. My team won, which was nice, so it was a pretty good day!

So, ladies and gentlemen, I think that's everything. I have received other bits and pieces throughout the week for my birthday, however uploading everything would be cruel. All in all, I've had a great day and I want to thank everyone for their birthday wishes.

As I said above, I bought a bottle of 250g Snow Fairy bottle wash for a lucky viewer. The  To find out how to win, click below.
