Easter at Lush | Haul

Today I am back with another Lush Haul! My last post was also a Lush Haul (which you can find here) and contained some products from the standard Bath products at Lush but today I have two products from the Limited Edition Easter range! 

As Easter is this weekend, I thought it would be perfect to show you two of the products I have from the Easter selection as the products won't be around for long! 

The first product I have is the 'UltraViolet' Bubble Bar £4.95. It's used by taking a chunk and crumbling it under running water, 
creating heaps of bubbles. It has a refreshing Violet scent, just like Parma Violet sweets! 
Lush generally say that it will give two generous baths but I personally can get around 8 decent baths from a bubble bar this size, so is great value for money. 
If you prefer bubbles in your bath, this is the product for you! 

The second and final product I have is the 'Fluffy Egg' Bath Bomb £2.95. This is a one use Bath Bomb, used by simply dropping into a bath of water and watching it fizz away.

This product shares the same sweet scent, as the much loved 'Snow Fairy Shower Gel' that only makes an appearance at Christmas time. So is defiantly something worth stocking up on if you're in need of a Snow Fairy fix! 

The only thing I would say about bath bombs, is that they don't create any bubbles but adding a small amount of a bubble bar to the bath should fix this if you like bubbles!

Lush do have a full range of products in their East range which can be found here or by popping instore to take a look but be quick... the products won't be around for long! 

Have you tried any of the products from the Lush Easter Range?

Small Lush Haul | Lush Cosmetics

I'm a huge fan of the bath products from 'Lush Cosmetics' so today I thought I'd share with you, four bath bombs from their standard range. 

I haven't tried any of these bath bombs before, so this post is a great way to share my first impressions and opinions on the scent and appearance.

'The Experimenter' £3.95:

This is one of the more colourful bath bombs by Lush. It contains four bright sections, which are meant to create a rainbow of colours in the bath. 

With this bath bomb it is quite hard to work out and describe the scent but on the website it says it contains 'Vanilla and Tonka absolute'.

I would though, say that this has an aquired scent and is definitely worth having a sniff of in store before buying.

'Frozen' £3.95:

A bright blue bath bomb, I believe is inspired by the film 'Frozen'.

The bomb contains 'Grapefruit, Rose and Neroli Oil' sounding quite refreshing. 

It gives bath water a blue hue with a fine shimmer, very fitting with its name but should give a nice relaxing bath.

'Avobath' £3.50

This bath bomb has a plain design compared to the other two but has a refreshing lemon scent, that reminds me of sherbet! 

It contains fresh avocado, so is hydrating and its lemon scent is from the Lemongrass oil that it contains.

I think this bath bomb would be great to use in the morning before a busy day because of its uplifting, fresh scent!

That's the end of my Small Lush Haul. I'm planning on posting full indept posts of each of the bath bombs, when I use them, to show how they are whilst in the bath, how they left my skin feeling and giving my overall impression! 

Have you used any of these bombs from Lush? And would you recommend them?

What I got for my birthday | 2015

On the 1st of August I Celebrated my 17th Birthday and wanted to share with all some of the lovely presents I received! In case you where interested, I did one of these posts last year which you can view here if you wanted to read it.

Firstly I received two Yankee Candle samplers £1.80 each in the scents Shea Butter and Pink dragon fruit. Yankee candles are my favourite brand of candles so I was pleased to receive two more! 

Keeping on the subject of candles, I also received a Candle which is from primark in the scent Sweet Vanilla & Coconut! I've had one of these candles in the past and love the scent!
            

I also received two products from soap & glory, a Mist You Madly body spray £4 which is actually my favourite soap and glory scent and a Clean On Me Mini £2.50 which is also another favourite! 

                         

Another thing I received was this set of three Nail Varnishes By Studio London, the colours are lovely and perfect for Autumn/Winter which isn't far away.

The next thing  I received is from Lush, I have tried many of the bath products from Lush but not really anything else so I am really excited to try this out! It is the Buffy Body Butter £11.45 / 200g which from what I can gather is a body butter that is used on wet skin but it also contains exfoliation ingredients to remove dead skin cells! 

I also recived this necklace from New Look, which is a lovely pale blue, statement necklace. This is something I would wear with a plain top so the necklace stands out! 

Finally I was kindly sent this Angel Face BB Cream* £10.95, it is a BB cream with a combination of makeup and skincare giving a sheer, illuminated coverage.

Autumn/winter | Wishlist

Hello once again,
Today's post is going to be slightly different because it's not a review but I thought you might like a Wishlist! 
I have picked out six items that I really like and might put on my Christmas list, to share with you. 

            

1. The first thing on my Wishlist is the lovely 'Cream cable knit jumper dress' (£24.99 Newlook). I really like this because it looks so cosy and would go well with tights and boots! It also comes in navy and dark green. 

2. The next thing is the knitted skater skirt (£8 Primark). I really like this too because of how cosy it looks and would be lovely with tights and a blousey shirt tucked in. As far as I know this skirt comes in grey and red, it might be available in other colours but for £8 it's a real bargain.

3. Also on my Wishlist is 'The Christmas penguin' (£3.25 Lush). This is a bubble bar which I have tried a few others of from lush but not this one so I would really like to try it. I have smelt this  before in store at lush and love the refreshing smell it has and who wouldn't want a penguin this cute? 

4. Something that I have wanted for a while is the 'L'oreal true match foundation (£9.99 Boots). I have heard some really good reviews about this foundation from youtubers and other bloggers but won't buy it due to my already having foundations that need to be used up and the price as I wouldn't usually spend £10 on foundation but it's something I would really like to try! 

5. I don't usually wear eyeshadow or anything on my eyes very often apart from mascara but after buying the Real techniques core collection brushes I would like to own the Real techniques Starter set(£21.99 Boots). These brushes are really professional and affordable. 

6. The last thing on my Wishlist is a nail varnish by Barry M in the shade 'Elderberry' (£3.99 Barry M). I love the colour of this, it reminds me of icicles for some reason! So I think it would be great to wear for autumn/winter and I love the gel like finish that this range of nail varnish give.


I hope you enjoyed this slightly different post today! 
And I would love to know what things are on your autumn/winter Wishlist?! 

Let me know below!

Lush Cosmetics | My Mini Collection

Hello everyone, 
Here I am again with a post about my lush collection. As most of you know, lush is a company who sell natural, handmade products and are against animal testing. 
Over a little while I have added new things into my lush collection as it wasn't actually until around just over a year ago that I actually started to use and love lush products but I'm so glad that I found them! 
Now here's a peak into my collection...

Firstly I have some hair products, one of which is the Karma Komba (£5.75/55g) shampoo bar. This product is literally shampoo but in the form of a bar! When I first bought this product, I was a bit sceptical as to whether this product would actually clean my hair and leave it feeling clean, but i think it's safe to say this product is fantastic. Not only does it clean my hair but my hair is scented by the luxurious blend of oils that smell of karma. 

Also in the hair range I have the solid conditioner Jungle (£3.50/55g). On the lush website it says that this product is self preserving and packed with tropical fruit, oils and cocoa butter which sounds very nourishing. When I first bought this product I wasn't initially keen on the smell but was exited by the idea of it being a solid conditioner however after using the product a few times I have found that it doesn't feel like it conditions my hair at all. Using this conditioner feels like nothing is being put onto the hair however I like to feel the product on my hair so this is a bit of a disappointment for me but somebody else might find the product is right for them.



Next I have the lush Dirty toothy tabs (£2/40). I didn't actually buy these myself, a friend bought them to try but didn't like them and offered them to me. Lush say they are a solid alternative to toothpaste that contain spearmint to leave teeth squeaky clean. They are used by nibbling one between your front teeth before using your toothbrush as usual to brush your teeth. The taste of these are slightly weird, not like the taste of your normal toothpaste! Even though they are different, I would defiantly use these again maybe if I go on holiday or something but I don't feel I could change to these over my normal toothpaste.

The next lot of products i have in my collection are bath products. The first one is Space girl (£2.35/per item) which is a bath ballistic. It has a sweet and fruity scent and contains popping candy! This is the only bath bomb I've actually tried from lush because I actually prefer to have bubbles in my bath but I wanted to buy it because I loved the 'Parma violet' like smell. To use it all you have to do is fill the bath up to the level you want, then simply drop it into the water and watch it fizz away, leaving your bath water a lovely purple colour.

The next two are from the Christmas range, melting snowman and candy mountain. 

Melting snowman (£2.25/per item) is a bath melt which I have never used before. The first time i smelt this product I didn't know if I liked the smell but I have decided I love it! It has all the scents in it that remind me on Christmas and contains enriching almond oil and cocoa butter which are nourishing for the skin.

                                            

Also Candy mountain (£2.75/per item) which is a bubble bar. This is different to the others because it creates bubbles once crumbled under running water whereas the others don't. It has the same scent as the creamy candy bubble bar which is what I love about the product because I love sweet, girly scents! The candy mountain bubble bar is a limited edition bubble bar and I think it could be used for around 4 baths. I would recommend this to anyone!

The last thing I have in my collection is from the face range and is the Mask of magaminty (£5.50/125g). This mask although in the face mask range, can be used anywhere as it is a multi purpose mask and contains peppermint to stimulate. I bought this product after asking for a sample of it whilst instore at lush and after liking it bought the full size product. I find this mask really refreshing and leaves my skin feeling really clean, I will continue to purchase this product.

I have tried more of lush products like the Dorothy bubble bar and the comforter but I haven't got them anymore to be able to add pictures of them on here but I would recommend them to everyone!

This is my lush collection, which isn't huge at the moment but hopefully I can add more things to it in the near future!

Lush skin care products for oily/combination skin!

Hello once again,
Today I am going to be doing a post on some lush products for oily/combination skin and give you an insight on how to use them! 

The products that I'm going to post about have been designed for the needs of oily/combination skin and will make up a skincare routine.

First of all the most important thing is to clean your face and to do this I recommend using 'Angels on bare skin'. This product contains 'Kaolin'-which absorbs grease and dirt and 'Lavender'- to calm the skin. This product is £6.40 for 100g or £16 for 250g and leaves the skin feeling clean and fresh.

After I recommend scrubbing your face with 'ocean salt' a face and body scrub. This product contains 'avocado butter, coconut oil and seaweed absolute'- keeping skin soft and smooth and 'seasalt'- which is rich in minerals. It costs £13.25 a pot which is quite a lot but I found this product really effective at removing dry, patchy skin.

Next I would use a face mask to help clean, calm and clear the skin, a good one from lush for oily/combination skin is the 'mask of magaminty'. This product contains 'peppermint oil'- to stimulate and  'marigold' and 'chlorophyllin'- to treat the skin. This product costs £5.25 for a small pot or £9.25 for a large pot. I really enjoy using this product as it's really refreshing and is self preserving and lasts longer than the fresh face masks!

Once I have washed off the face mask, I like to pat my face dry then apply some moisturiser. One that I have been enjoying is 'imperialis' as after the oils have been removed from my face by the others I don't want to put oil back into my face and this product is just right for that! It costs £12.95 for 45g which is pricy and the smell isn't the best but this is a really nice product and I would defiantly recommend! 

 To finish off my skincare routine when I have spots and blemishes, I think 'grease lightning' to help clear them up. This product 

contains 'rosemary', 'thyme', 'antioxidant witchhazel' and 'tea-tree'- as they are all antibacterial. This product costs £6.25 each and only comes in one size. It is in a clear, jelly like form which is easy to apply but is begs applied before the spot has fully appeared if possible!

All of these products are available In store or online at Lush and if you ask in store or online when ordering something for a sample of a product you would like to try they are almost always happy to give you a sample to try to see if you like it first!
