18 presents for 18 years!

Unfortunately for my parents July is going to be a veryyy  expensive month! My sister turns 18 on the 14th & I turn 21 on the 22nd. My sister & I have been very very lucky & for our birthdays our parents are taking us to New York & San Francisco over a period of 8 days! How good is that?! I can't explain how excited I am (mainly for the food & shopping!).

But anyways, my sister said a few weeks back that she was going to buy me 21 presents, so obviously to return the favour (& because it's fun, haha) I am gonna get her 18 presents! Clever, huh?


I'm writing this post before her birthday but I can't publish it untill the 14th July because she follows my blog & would most likely see it! I can't wait to give her them :) I love buying people presents! So, me & my sister are like chalk & cheese - we are nothing alike! But I think I have captured my sisters personality quite well with the presents I've bought. They aren't all beauty products but I thought I'd still share, as I loved buying them all :D





  1. Casual River Island tee.
  2. Some lovely nautical blue & white pumps from River Island.
  3. A bar of cookie & cream Hershey's.
  4. A badge that says 'I heart boobs' (my sister bats for the other team ;)
  5. Coca-Cola flavoured Lipsmaker from Topshop.
  6. The pink thing came pre-wrapped. But it's a pretty decorative sign with a quote written on it about having no regrets :)

  7. A very hungry caterpillar bookmark. Fond memory from our childhood. The very hungry caterpillar that is, not bookmarks...
  8. Dark angels fresh facial cleanser from the ever so lush Lush
  9. A bubblegum flavoured lip scrub also from Lush
  10. 3 pairs of Topshop's girly boxers
  11. A 7mm wooden ear stretcher


  12. A White Stripes book
  13. Another White Stripes book. Repetitive but she loves 'um :)
  14. 3 Cath Kidson hand creams in wild rose, bluebell & honeysuckle.
  15. Maybelline make-up. Silk glam eyeshadow in coral drama, a blush in golden bronze & superstay 24hr concealer in light.
  16. Rimmel polish in chic & cheerful.
  17. I think I got a little excited & wrapped a present before taking a photo. But I also got some really pretty bracelets from River Island.

The most expensive gift of the 18 was a Thomas Sabo skull charm. I just love all the packaging so wanted to show you separately :)


How cute are the Thomas Sabo gumy bears?!

& that's that! I really hope she likes them. Can't wait to give her them :) 

Happy 18th little sis!
