Birthday weekend - Outfits, gifts and cakes

Hi Ladies,
so as promised, I will share with you the outfits I wore for my birthday, the gifts I received and my cakes! ^^

First I will start with the cakes that I boyfriend bought for me on the day of my birthday. Since my birthday was on a week day, we celebrated my birthday on the weekend. On the day of my birthday, he got me all my favorite cakes at Premiere Moisson. I prefer that he gets me pieces of cake with variety than getting me a whole cake which I can never finish.
  • Black forest
  • Tiramisu
  • Strawberry cheese cake
  • Creme brule


Onto my outfits... this is the first outfit I put together to go out with my girlfriends. A dark grey dress paired with a 3/4 pattern top. (My mirror is a bit dirty... sorry about that)

The second outfit is a black dress with pretty details on the collar paired with a green/turquoise cardigan.


For makeup, I did a simple look to match with the outfits. I'm still not that good with taking makeup pictures, but it looks prettier in person!


Then onto the gifts. I guess the fact that we're getting older and pickier, my family gave me money! In some ways, it's more practical this way so I can go get whatever I like. A few close friends got me the following:
Body Truffles set
  • Silky caress body creme in Fudge Brownie
    • Like the lightest touch from a delicate veil our Fudge Brownie body creme will cover your skin in a velvety layer of softness. The rich and luxurious blend of Shea Butter, Sweet Almond Oil, Coconut Oil, Vitamin E and Cocoa Butter will melt into your skin leaving it irresistibly silky sold to the touch.
  • Melting delight body bar in Fudge brownie
    • This luxurious, ultra-hydrating butter bar glides across your body leaving a lightly scented trail of intoxicating Fudge Brownie while soothing your dry skin with Cocoa Seed Butter, Shea Butter and Coconut Oil.
  • Stolen kiss lip butter in Fudge Brownie
    • A deliciously flavored, tinted lip butter to soothe and moisturize dry lips.

At first, I actually thought it was some kinky body chocolate stuff, but they're actually creams.

Another friend got me the following:
  • Cuccio naturale Milk & Honey butter blend set
  • Kahlua chocolates
  • Lindt petits desserts
The set contains:
  • Body Butter
    • A non-oily, intense hydrating treatment for silky smooth skin. Patented 24 hour time-release emollients moisturize skin every 2 hours.
  • Sea salts
    • Rich in minerals, natural sea sats gently exfoliate to reveal softer and silkier skin, while milk and honey extracts provide soothing and moisturizing properties.
  • Cuticle Conditioning Butter Stick
    • Moisturizes, conditions and repairs dry cuticles with Shea Butter, Olive and Jojoba Oils. No oily residue and 24 hour hydration.
  • Scentual Spa Elixir
    • Create an alluring aromatherapy environment. Use as a room spray or spray directly on linens and towels.

The scent of these products is sooo soothing and relaxing. The scent of spa! I will do reviews of them when I start using them, but it will take a while. I don't like starting new products when I still have something similar which is opened. I'll have to finish up my open products before starting these ones...
Till next time...~

  1. Happy belated birthday! It’s a wonderful idea to get a variety of cakes. Maybe I should consider that for my birthday too.
    Your gifts of creams look and sound so edible! I think if I were to use them on myself, I wouldn’t be able to resist eating them!

  4. I think it's a great idea your bf bought individual cake slices!!! Super sweet of him to remember all your favorites too! lol I like your outfit and my fav coordinate is definitely the first one! You got some awesome gifts! hahaha for my family, it's the complete opposite, if I ask them to buy me something they go "can't we just give you the money instead?" LOL but I have to agree money is a lot more practical than have my parents buy me something *shudders*
