MelanieIt was my birthday on Saturday and I turned <whispers> 36! Scary really and only 4 more years left before I’ll have to change myself too 40SomethingMel! What better way too cheer yourself up though than going shopping.
As I said in my video, I didn’t actually get any presents for my birthday passe, everyone gave me money too buy something. So I grouped it all together with a little of my own and a voucher I had for Christmas and went to Westfield at Stratford. Thoroughly recommend the place its amazing! Much better than the Trafford Centre and Bluewater!

I also thought I would include a few pics I took on my birthday to show you my makeup and hair. Quite run of the mill for me but rare you see more than just a headshot when I take a picture!
After getting back from Westfield you could tell we were tired. Everything just got dumped on the chair!
My FOTD for my birthday wearing my new MAC makeup things – Lipstick is Girl About Town (Excuse hair it hadn’t been done yet!!)
Side on and you can see how lovely the foundation is. I only used a small amount of bronzer and had no blusher on at all.
Not the clearest picture in the world, but here’s my hair and top I wore with my skinny jeans on my birthday (8 hours later and I was on the sofa feeling rough)
As its not as clear on the YouTube video, here is a swatch of MAC Lovelorn on my lips. Such a pretty colour!
Thanks again to everyone who wished me a happy birthday on Twitter, via email and what not. It was really lovely!
Lots of Love,
Mel xxxx
