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,
