My 21st Birthday and Party celebration

Hello my lovelies,


It was my birthday over the weekend I turned 21, and basically I wanted to have a party, but we wanted a ladies party as my friends were coming over. My birthday was on the Friday, so I wanted to do a few preparations before the party which was on Saturday, I woke up much earlier than I usually do, and completed a deluxe facial, I know you can't tell with make-up on but it helps to refresh. I used the facial products which you can buy from the beauty warehouse. 

Anyways, I got these gifts as shown in the picture below as gifts, I will go into detail with what I got. But for my party I wore that 'purple anarkali', it was so comfortable, and so pretty, all these things in the picture were given as gifts. The black is a 'kurta' also very comfortable, I wore this on the Friday. 


I am going to put it in order from friends to cousins to family.

My fresh cream and fresh fruit birthday cake, yummy, the fruit was much yummier though :P

The balloon my brother and sister got for me

Gifts, gifts, and loads of gifts :P
This is something really cute, my sister brought this but didn't let me see, it and on the day of my party she showed me what it was. It's a Minnie mouse poster, something similar to pin the donkey, however with this there were 12 stickers. So everyone that was present their name on a sticker and, put the blindfold that was provided in the packet and try to put the sticker in Minnies hand. It's quite funny because, you have to guess where to put it on and they all were quite far from putting it on the heart area.
I am going to treasure this because it will be by me for the rest of my life, its something new and clever.

This is the bag I got from my friends, I received a J by Jasper Conran bag, I don't usually like coloured bags, but this is just so pretty that I can't wait to use it. I am hoping for a good occasion to come soon, so I can In Sha Allah use it. 

I received a mug from one of cousin.
I received this lovely watch from another cousin. I have metal strap watches, but this is different, its got like glitter dots in the middle. 
I have so many makeup cases, however this is something very different, its got a very nice selection of makeup colors in it. It has eye shadows, blushes, foundation, powder, lip glosses, and other bits and bobs including makeup applicators.

Now I have come up to what my family got me, all these gifts are brought by my mum, dad, brother and sisters.

I told my sister once that there are a lot of beauty books, however I didn't give her a specific name of which I wanted I just told her something which would be useful for everything that a person needs. My sister knew that there was a 'Bobbi Brown Handbook' however that only had tips on how to apply makeup. So she came across this book by 'Coleen Nolan' she is a famous celebrity in the UK but has much experience over the years. This book is really good, its not aimed at any age, size, shape and its not only got tips on makeup however its also got tips on fitness, food, nails, hair, makeup, skin care.

My family know I love painting my nails, and especially when I've done a nails course, they brought it because of that.

I really, really wanted these 'Real Technique' brushes, and the 'Real Techniques expert face brush' is one that had been suggested by many other bloggers and youtubers. I haven't used them yet, but they feel so soft and nice, when I use these brushes, I will make sure I put up a review post. 


I also got a jewelry set piece, this isn't from here its from Pakistan, it's got very pretty earrings.

This is a pearl bracelet with crystal stoned bead in the middle, I did have a bigger version of this, but it wasn't real pearl, the paint of the pearl bead had come off it. Am pleased to have a smaller delicate one. By the way this is a 'Real Cultured Freshwater Pearl bracelet', I just wanted to know what does 'Cultured Freshwater' mean, is it a certain type of pearl? Make sure to leave comments to my question, confused about that. 

I was told by my family that my little sister, asked to buy this, its a ring with a heart in it, very pretty, the crystal's in the heart are 'Swarvoski'.

Bags are never enough right, so my sisters got me a 'Ted Baker vanity case' 

This lipstick I have totally been in love with, well only the packaging. My lovely brother got me the 'Rouge Volupté Shine' in shade 7 Rose Infinite. It's a very neutral color (love love love) I can wear it on a everyday occasion too. 

And finally my parents brought this gold bracelet, I really wanted a gold bracelet. The bracelet design has heart and flower, its so pretty and delicate, totally in love with it. 


Lastly I would like to thank everyone again who wished me on my birthday. I would also like to thank my friends, cousins and especially for my family for making it such a special day. I really enjoyed my birthday and my party. Alhamdulilah for everything, 

Thank you for reading my post, I hope you enjoyed reading it. Make sure to read my other post, I am going to hopefully do a tutorial for my next post. Do also follow me on Instagram and Like my Facebook page.

Primark Bag

Went to town over the weekend, I went because I hadn't been in a while, so as well as going to some other shops I also went into Primark. I have to admit, I absolutely love Primark, there are other shops which I love going to but, am a big fan of Primark only because I could buy something 'reasonable.' I didn't want a bag I just went in to look around for anything nice that I would like and get it. But anyways I came across this bag that I believe is a new, I've not seen this type of bag before, below are pictures of what it looks like from inside. However I brought this at such a good price, actually am going to call it a bargain only for £8.00. I usually have a guilt feeling when I buy bags because when I start buying bags I end up buying loads. 

My Primark bag shopping, the one on the left is the one I brought and the right one I brought for my sister.


Inside its got a zip bag. And it's very spacious although you can't tell when looking at these pictures.
As you can see in this picture you can take the bag out softer zipper bag and the outer bag is very sturdy. I love new stuff like this, I don't usually buy small bags, but have recently not got any small bags. 
I love having studs under a bag as it doesn't damage the bottom of the bag quickly, and it makes the bag have a even more beautiful look. (looks more poss :P )


I hope you enjoyed this post, make sure to check out my other posts. To like my Facebook page, and to follow me on my Instagram. All links are on the left.

Superdrug - MUA make-up

I've been a little busy but anyways, this is a little something I brought last week, I know a lot of other make-up artists have always said that the MUA drugstore/high street brand is quite good. The pigmentation of the eyeshadows, blushers and lipsticks are quite nice. So anyways, I was in Superdrugs, and I needed some make-up wipes. And I picked up a MUA -Undress Me Too Eyeshadow palette, I know that a lot of people have said that this palette is very similar to the Naked 2 palette. If I like this I'm probably going to buy that too. I also brought a Eyeshadow Tint, I have heard of Lip Tint or Cheek Tint and this sounded interesting. As you all know MUA products aren't that expensive, so why not give it a go. Below are pictures of all the products I brought.
  
MUA - Undress Me Too Eyeshadow Palette, MUA Eyeshadow Tint, Superdrug Make-up Wipes.

I have used these make-up wipes before, and I love these, I don't think that all make-up items need to be expensive and I usually like to have wipes, which remove make-up, cleanse, tone and moisturise the skin. The wipes smell really nice too. So a big thumbs up, and I would surely advise you to use them, its also vegetarian and vegan and animal cruelty free.

The MUA - Undress Me Too - Eyeshadow Palette it has 12 shades

It's got some lovely colours, there are neutrals, matte's, and metalic's.

These are the 12 shades:
Top from left to right, Naked, Devotion, Shy, Fiery, Lavish, Dreamy
Bottom from left to right, Tranquil, Exposed, Reveal, Wink, Obsessed, and Corrupt.

Colour Blast Eyeshadow Tint in Stay

Make sure to comment, and let others know about this post, I hope to do a make-up tutorial soon.
