Hi everyone! It's been a little while since I did a blogpost, (sorry about that!) I've just been going through some things in my personal life and work life too which haven't been so enjoyable. So I gave up a little bit with blogging and took a break.

BUT I'm now back and ready to get back into it. So I've got a few blogposts saved ready to post. Thank the lord. 

Okay, so during this little break I had a birthday! My 19th! And on this special occasion I got some rather lovely presents. Now I'm not going to post every single thing I got, just a couple of beauty products I got given. And even then I've halved what I got, just to make this post and show what I recommend everyone to go and buy!!

SO let's get into it. 

Now I've always seen people on Instagram using NYX products, makeup artists, Instagram famous people, and general celebrities, and always started to log what they were and the shades. Being in England, it was rather hard to find NYX, you could always get them online, but then you would never know what the actual shade looked like in person and if you didn't like it you were stuck with it. But recently, a shop called Boots, started to sell NYX and I started to look online for shades, I wrote a couple down, so when I went into town I could easily find the shade I wanted. However with this certain shade, the moment I saw it online, I knew I would love it. So when I received it on my birthday from my little sister I couldn't wait to go and put it on my lips. 

The shade is: Abu Dhabi.

 I've always been a lover for Pandora. And have had a growing collection since last year, when my mum got me the Pandora bracelet and a couple charms for my 18th birthday. But this year, I got a rather good pay from work a couple days before my birthday so I thought I'd treat myself, and I did. Most things, unfortunately are not in this blog post, (but I will make a separate post!). But I thought I'd show, what charms I have. 

- the 18 Charm

- Disney's 'Be Magical' Charm

- the elephant Charm

- Angel Fish Charm

- Birthday Cake Charm

- Openwork Heart Spacer 

- Openwork Whirl Charm

- Snowflake Charm

- Flower Garden Murano Charm

- Logo Safety Chain

Lastly. Now I love Hawaiian Tropics sun oil for the summer, and have always bought loads when I go on holiday just so I get more a tan and so I smell nice! LOL. So when I saw my local Superdrug selling Hawaiian Tropics body mists, I thought these had to be good, so I started spraying them all, like you do until I found my favourite,  and of course, me being me, my favourite scent was the one that smelt of coconut. aka: Malibu. (my favourite alcoholic drink) I immediately fell in love with this body spray and pestered my mum so she'd get the hint I really like it and would love it for my birthday. And luckily I got it. In the scent, Golden Paradise.

With that, I popped into Hollister and bought a couple things. I love Hollister Body Sprays, I've always bought them since I was in secondary school, and have always used them since. It's quite annoying that they discontinue so many of the good scents each year, but they try and make up bringing in similar scents. Crescent Bay is the bottle I bought and it's soooo fruity. There was another body spray I bought but I didn't put it in this picture for some reason. Silly me.

SO that's a little of what I got for my birthday, and just a couple of my July/August favourites. Do you have any of these products? Do you recommend any beauty products, perfumes, body sprays? Let me know what you think!

Love Amy. x
