What I Got For My Birthday/Christmas!

-
DISCLAIMER: This post is in no way me bragging about what I got. Instead, I'm showing you guys how awesome my friends and family are and how grateful I am!
 

Hey Guys x

This year, I decided to do both my birthday and Christmas presents in one post, which I haven't done before, so it looks like I got a massive amount of presents in one sitting, which I didn't!

Also, sorry to any of my friends reading if I forgot your present. I've had these things all over my house and couldn't remember if I'd picked up everything or not, but that doesn't mean that I'm not grateful!

I love seeing these posts from other people, maybe because I'm a bit nosey! So I hope that you like seeing what I received too!

Birthday Presents

 
This first present is something that I actually bought for myself! The Vampire diaries season 1-6. The week before my birthday, I asked both of my parents if they were going to get it for me, as it was something that I really wanted. When they said no, I thought that I'd buy it myself as an early present, and I'm so glad that I did! I've already started watching it and it's amazing!
 
 
 This comes from a friend of mine who, thankfully, works at Lush. I haven't really used their products before, but as she now works there, I knew that sooner or later I'd be able to try them, so I am really glad that she bought some of the products for me, and I can't wait to use them!
 
This is a perfume that I got from another friend. The bottle is so beautiful and it smells amazing!
 
 
Another friend got me this MARVEL travel mug and, as I am completely obsessed with the Marvel Cinematic Universe right now, this could not be more perfect!
 
These are presents from my parents. The 'Binge' book I asked my dad for and my mum surprised me with these gorgeous ugg boots!

Christmas Presents


These are all the edible presents that I received! I got the haribo's from an aunt, the biscuits from my dad and the panda biscuit from a friend, and I love them all!


I got some more Lush stuff from my sister, and I am in love! I can't wait to use them!


These are two presents from my mum. We watched the film 'Clown' yesterday and it was so good! Honestly, as a fan of horror, I would completely recommend it! I also got the scent 'Paperback' from the library of fragrance and I have mixed feelings. I can't really tell if it smells like a Paperback book or not!


The final thing my mum bought me - Make-up! Lots and lots of make-up, complete with foundation, concealer, blush, lipsticks and every brush you could ever need! Plus many different eye-shadows and just... everything you could need! I am so so happy with this! I haven't gone into detail about what I got because I want to do a make-up collection post in the new year, so let me know if you'd like to see that!

Thank you for reading!

Comment below what you got for Christmas (If you celebrate, and if not, for your last birthday!)

Keep Smiling - Lou xx

Hot Frosty | Blogmas Day 17

  It's Blogmas day 17! When Cathy (Lacey Chabert) accidentally brings a snowman to life, she discovers the magic Jack the snowman (Dustin Milligan) brings to the town of Hope Springs. This is the third of four highly anticipated Netflix Christmas originals this year that I'm including in Blogmas. And while it's not the most original story, I've always loved the idea of Jack Frost, so I was excited to see it. Thankfully I liked this one - though maybe not as much as I wanted to. I really liked the character of Cathy. Not only was she really likeable, but because we get to know her so quickly, we can really root for her. I also loved the tone of the film. It didn't take itself seriously at all and made it clear to the audience that we're just there to have fun. All of the actors, main and supporting, were great. They were so much fun to watch and all played their characters really well. The chemistry between Cathy and Jack is great! You really want to see them tog...

Christmas Holidate | Blogmas Day 19

  It's Blogmas day 19! When Holly (Jasmine Burke) uses her company's app to find a date to bring home for the holidays, a glitch in the app causes more than one date to turn up. This film had an interesting premise because it seemed really original, and it looked like there would be a lot of chances for fun and humour. I didn't end up liking it as much as I wanted to. But one thing I liked was how much more modern it felt than most of the other movies I've watched for Blogmas this year. Even just the idea of her finding her date(s) through an app is original for a Christmas film. It's nice that the movie was family-focused, but the family it focuses on aren't that interesting and can't really carry the story. The main couple have chemistry and it was fun to watch them interact, but I never really cared about them one way or the other. And if for some reason they didn't end up together, it wouldn't have mattered to me. It took about 40 minutes for the...

Holiday for Hire | Blogmas Day 20

  It's Blogmas day 20! After getting dumped right before going home for the holidays, Katie (Christie Leverette) hires a man to pretend to be her boyfriend in front of her family. Finally a fake dating trope! A couple of the films this year have played with the theme, but this one really goes for it and I love that! But as much as I loved the premise, the film didn't really live up to it. However, one thing I loved as much as I loved the premise was Katie. Right from the beginning she was a character I could get behind and really root for. I also really loved Katie's roommate Sarah (Jeanne Lau) and I wish she had been given more to do, and more of a story. Why is she spending Christmas alone?? I tried not to look at the film from a point of realism, as this is a Christmas movie after all, but where was the sense of safety? The main couple are complete strangers at the start and it felt weird to see how quickly they trusted each other. And while I liked the characters intera...

A Christmas Proposal | Blogmas Day 16

-

  It's Blogmas day 16! When Jason (Joshua T. Shipman) is forced to move for work, and his girlfriend cannot go with him because they are not married, he creates an elaborate plan to propose by Christmas. So apparently there are two films with the same name, made in the same year, and it looks like I picked the worst of the two! From the very beginning, the tone of the film is really odd. It was taking itself way too seriously for what is supposed to be a light Christmas movie. The plot didn't really make much sense. A few times throughout the film there was a point made that the character didn't want to be with his girlfriend, and had actually requested a be transferred to get away from her. So why are we watching him plan a proposal? Why is he planning a proposal in the first place? There were really weird moments throughout the film where the sound quality would drastically change when a character was speaking but not on camera, despite supposedly being in the same room. ...

Christmas on Ice | Blogmas Day 21

Image
  It's Blogmas day 21! Former figure skater Courtney (Abigail Klein) teams up with former hockey player Noah (Ryan Cooper) to save the local ice skating rink from closing. I picked this one because it just seemed so quintessentially rom-com-y that I had no choice! And it also seemed like it would be really Christmassy, which is always important for a Christmas film. Unfortunately this one wasn't as romantic as it could have been. But I will say the Christmas part holds up - is there anything more Christmassy than ice skating?? My main gripe with the film is that I completely fell in love with a couple and was willing to spent all my time and energy on them. The only problem was, it wasn't the main couple! It was the side couple who were given no time! If the main couple of this film had been Beth (Caroline Portu) and Trevor (Matthew Grimaldi) this could have been a great Christmas movie. I really liked what little I saw of them and wanted so much more than the film gave us....
