Hey guys, so in case some of you don't know Lush Oxford Street store sell exclusive products which are not sold in any other store. But, the problem is this store is over 4 hours away by car for me, it would cost a lot to get there! (About £100 for the train and £200+ in petrol).
I found an amazing girl (Instagram link here) who was visiting the store and was willing to buy to products (any of my choice) and post them! I was so excited (of course I had to pay all via PayPal), and the products arrived perfect!

 I ordered a Tweet bubble bar and Down the rabbit hole bubble bar, but as a surprise I received a Furze bath melt which I'm in love with! All three of these products are exclusive and classed as "rare".



Tweet Bubble Bar - £3.45
Oh my... Where to begin? This product is super cute looking, some say they are ugly or creepy but I'm in love with them! The smell is very strong, reminding me of fresh oranges and a citrus scent. Although they are super cute, the product itself isn't huge in size and so you would only get one bath worth  out of this! But honestly, that doesn't bother me because he is too cute to use! (Yes I said he, because my Tweet is a man hehe).

Down The Rabbit Hole - £3.95
This bubble bar is my favorite so far this year, the size is HUGE! I honestly am in love with it, you can easily get two luxury baths out of this or even three or four baths if you like to use less of the product. It's such a colorful product too, the swirl pattern just makes me love it even more. The scent is very fruity reminding me of oranges and raspberries.  Watch an amazing short video I made on Instagram here.

Furze Bath Melt/Oil - £2
If I'm to be honest, I'm super excited to use this product as I've just fallen in love with bath melts/oils. They always look funky in the water, smooth on your skin and the scent is always powerful. This product smells very floral, and very parfum like! The only slight worry I have is this is packed full of small bits of elderflower, I just hope they don't stick to my body!


I haven't used the bath oil or tweet bubble bar yet, but be sure to follow me on Instagram to get the first looks for when I do. Overall, I'm in love with these products if I could I would 100% buy them again! Let me know if you guys own them? Would you wish to own them?X

Hey guys! So I recently got the chance to trail the new Acne Ultra Clear cream to help with skincare. As with any products that is used for skincare I always take precaution, simply because of how sensitive my skin is. I have very sensitive, acne prone yet combination skin can cause me to have very oily outbreaks in my t-zones, but then sometimes I can dry out on and around my nose. However, after doing a bit of research before hand to help ensure this product could suit my skin I discovered its a natural product that's fragrance-free! 

About the product and my thoughts then? When I received it I loved the packaging, it was very informative throughout the box and the container itself, I love the colors they suit so well to my desk and room theme. Which blogger wouldn't love a white styled product huh! Plus I love the fact this product is not used with a pump, those which use a pump (e.g Clinique Moisturizer you always get waste product you can never reach or use), but with this you can use the very last inch.

As with many "acne" products to help reduce and calm your skin I notice they dry out the areas, sometimes have a very odd smell (usually a t-tree scent). I must admit I was taken back a little when I saw the color of this product, I expected a clear or white type of substance. The product is very beige type (hard to explain), I was slightly worried that when I apply it might discolor my skin and being very porcelain I was worried it might make my face look odd to the rest of my body! BUT NOT TO WORRY, After applying a small amount across my whole face it felt smooth, silky and very calming almost like I was wearing a face mask. It didn't change the color of my skin at all (to make me look odd etc), and it didn't irritate my skin. 


After spending a week trailing the product, I never felt too dry, or too oily. I never had any further break outs ("spots") which is an added bonus, I also noticed when using this product it helped to reduce redness instantly! I can honestly say I would be satisfied to wear this out in summer if my acne cleared up, it works so great a natural glow! 
As I've only been trailing this for a week I haven't noticed any dramatic decrease with my acne, but I haven't broke out and I honestly think it's slowly starting to work and this is a natural healthy product to use on my skin after a fresh face which I love!

How do I use? - Repeat twice a day (Morning and evening)
Step 1: Clean my skin / Remove Makeup
I wash my skin using my Clinique sonic system and cleansing gel with warm water, and then pat dry with a clean cloth! If I have makeup on I usually just use a sensitive face wipe to remove.
Step 2: Use a toner
I always love to use a toner after cleansing, I feel it's an extra little bonus to my skin and smooths it out a lot better preventing dry outs! (I currently use an Elemis one)
Step 3: Acne Ultra Clear
Using this product as a moisturizer I apply straight after my toner and leave to dry in! 

Overall? I do love this product, I want to carry on using this for a few weeks and see if it does improve my overall acne issue. But I haven't struggled with drying out patches, or too much oil on my face it seems to suit really well! I would for sure conciser re-buying this product after using it, one because it has helped with redness but because it is affordable compared to other moisturizers out on the market!

 I just want to give a huge thank you to Acne Ultra Clear to let me trail the product, I hope you guys decide to get one too! If you do be sure to tag me or let me know I would love to see some pictures!

DISCLAMER: This product was given to trail from the company, however everything I write is 100% honest from my personal thoughts and views on how the product has worked with me.

So of course when the Easter 2016 items for Lush arrived in stores a few weeks back I was first to run and grab one of each of the products! 

Fluffy Egg (Bath Bomb) - £2.95
This bath bomb is the most affordable out of the Easter range, plus it's super cute looking, average size AND it fizzes away smelling gorgeous. 

Which Came First (Bath Bomb) - £6.95
Another returning bath bomb from last year, I knew what to expect! I love these bath bombs, although they seem pricey you are getting three bath bombs in total! It can be messy trying to crack them open, some people like to smash the sides or others like myself take a more risky approach by trying to cut them open! (Please take care if you do this) This bath bomb smells so tasty and sugary, plus they seemed to open fairly easy to crack inside and find out if you got a cute chick bath bomb or a bunny one! I received two chicks in my (slightly gutted as I wanted one of each but oh well!)


Bunch Of Carrots (Reusable Bubble Bars) - £6.25
This year Lush brought back the reusable carrots! Which I love, because they look cute and of course, you can reuse them! I've only used the pink carrot so far, at first I thought they weren't going to last long as I thought they was smaller than last year. So far I've used the pink carrot three times and it seems to still have lots of life left which is all good!


Humty Dumty (Bath Bomb) - £6.95
This product is new to 2016 and to Lush! I've never seen this product before but seen as you have to crack it I loved the idea of getting my hands on this! When I asked in store staff they explained inside you would have a egg bath bomb, after a struggle to crack this product open I discovered it didn't really look like an egg. In fact, it pretty much stuck to the sides of the bath bomb, after a bit of research I noticed a few people also had the same issue as me. I was pretty disappointed since after a few weeks I saw people did get an egg shaped product which looked perfectly shaped! So not happy! Otherwise, the product fizzes out in a bright blue which I loved!




Golden Egg (Bath Bomb Melt) - £3.95
If I'm to be honest, I wasn't planning to purchase this product because of how glittery it was. But after much persuasion by the store staff, I added one to my collection and I was so proud I did! I expected this to explode and fizz like a normal bath bomb, but when I placed it in the water it slowly melted out the glitter layer, to more of a yellow fluffy layer, to a milky cream layer! And then finally to the fizzy bath bomb layer, it took ages to finally melt away, and it smelt so sugary and sweet.



Now I know some of the products in this haul isn't Easter theme, but I picked them up and why not include them?

Razzle Dazzle (Bath Oil) - £2
The bath oils are very small in size, you can hold among two fingers! I didn't know what to expect, but for a cheap price I thought i'd give it a shot. I placed in the water, and it slowly began to melt away, a light pink milky color in the water. And before long the oils started to push out of the product, float around in the water. When the oil eventually melted away, it left the water a nice pinky color, smelling so strong and very silky on my skin! I must admit I was shocked such a small product could do such a thing, I love them and want more and more!


Flowering Tea (Reusable Bubble Bar) - £4.95
As with most, I love using reusable products from Lush purely because they are 100% worth the money. This product is very lavender scented, relaxing and perfect for a hot bath before bed! I've only used this once since I bought it, but I've seen others write about how at the end pink flowers fall out of which I'm super excited about!

Let me know in the comments below which your favorite is? I am for sure wanting to buy some more fluffy eggs, golden eggs and which came first bath bomb! X

Lush Easter Haul 2016

Hey guys! As Easter is moving closer and closer towards us I managed to get my hands on the new Yankee Candle 3 melt egg gift set retailing at £7.99 (click here to view online). It's a small plastic egg with Yankee logo text & jelly beans with a cute ribbon at the top with a tag attached giving info on the three melts inside.

It slides apart in half with three melts inside including; with each melt burning up to 8 hours!

 1. Jelly Bean
I love this scent, after purchasing the large jar last year I was super excited to see this in a melt form! It's bursting smell is full of sugary sweet candy like scents, the only down side is I'm super disappointed you can't buy this separate. The only size available separate and not in a gift set is a large jar for £21.99 (click here to view online).

 2. Summer Scoop
This melt retails for £1.49 in store (click here to view online), another tasty scent full of sugary fresh strawberry smells. It does live up to the name in regards to scents, one that gets me hungry for sure!

 3. Cappuccino Truffle
And again, this melt currently retails for £1.49 in store (click here to view online). It's scent is very chocolate flavored packed with the smell of strong dark coffee! One of my favorite delicious scents from Yankee!

Overall I am slightly disappointed with the product, as two of the melts retail together at £2.98 meaning the rest of the price (£5.01) was funded on the jelly bean melt (which I do understand is rare & exclusive) plus the egg packaging... Slightly overpriced in my opinion.. I would of much rather receive two limited edition exclusive melts (which I have noticed Yankee's site state you receive Bunny Cake as well as Jelly Bean, I have contacted them to query this as it seems unfair!). Thank you for reading, let me know your thoughts?X

So this months box arrived in style! Packed with lots of different exclusive and preview melts and it included the super cute Bunny Kisses from the Easter collection.. Not only did I fall in love with the melts, I was surprised to discover the free melt marked with a big 9 and Candy Floss text. After being subscribed to the melt crowd for 9 months now I received a free candy floss melt from the CIRCUS collection.


Spring Break - Melt Crowd Preview
Out of all the melts in this months box, I will admit this is probably my least favortie. For some reason it just really reminds me of mens aftershave spray! The smell is very strong and powerful, but also very "fresh" like.

 Ylang Ylang & Bergamot Essential Oils - Melt Crowd Preview
This melt is another favorite of this months box! The B.A.R.E collection is such a strong scent that lasts for so long! The smell of this melt is very spice orientied and very wood like! I just love it and so excited for the melt to arrive!

 Spearmint - Melt Crowd Exclusive
This melt is a very strong, powerful smell of a fresh, clean and very minty. I personal don't mind this scent, I find it very uplifting and relaxing when it's a dull day it helps to keep me awake! (Perfect when i'm trying to do assignment work!)

 Bunny Kisses - £2 Click here to view online.
I was so happy to get a bunny kisses in this months melt! First off because it's super cute, in the wrapping and without! Plus, when I burnt this it lasted a lot longer than what the other melts do, it's scent was double as strong. And it was very sweet scenteded, almost reminding me of rhubarb and custard.

 French Lime Blossom - Melt Crowd Exclusive
This is another fruity, clean scented melt that reminds me of outdoors or when you go into a flower floral shop! 

 Mango & Dragonfruit
Another melt from this months box which I love! This melt smells very magno like with fresh clean fruity hints. 

 Easter Egg - Melt Crowd Exclusive
This melt is probably my favorite out of all the melts in this months box, it's scent is packed full of a sweet, sugary, candy chocolate smell. Its a scent that isn't over powering, or too "chocolately" and is just smells so tastey! I can't believe this is an exclusive because I have fallen in love with this... All I can hope is it comes around again soon! 

 Very Vanilla - Melt Crowd Exclusive
I love this melt, as you might be awhere anything sugary and sweet is a love to my heart! The scent is a milky cream vanilla and just so yummy! I can't believe this is an exclusive because I really love this and would buy again! 

 Candy Floss 
After being subscribed for 9 months with the Melt Crowd now I received a surprise melt which I was totally not expecting! PLUS, It was the candy floss scent from the CIRCUS theme which I love. A sugary, sweet and candy like melt perfect for the Easter period!


Overall, I am really in love with this months box... Purely because all the scents are very tastey, sugary and perfect for the easter season. Plus, majority of the melts included where either preview or exclusive which was suprising to recieve so many of that type! I really can say this might even be my favorite box so far!
Let me know if you guys are subscribed? Whats your favorite? Which seems the nicest to you?X

Hey guys! Today is mothers day over in the UK so I thought I'd write a short post based on what goodies I got for my mum! First off, I just want to say how lucky I am to have a mum who cares for me so much, she would literally do anything! She has always been there for me, helped me and supported all my decisions throughout life.

As with any celebration or season in the month where you are expected to buy gifts, I hate buying "Surprises". The odd one here and there is fine, but I always worry and get anxious over buying the main gift as a surprise because what if they don't like it? What if they feel unconformable when opening? Yup.. I think of these things!
So I decided to ask my mum a few weeks back what she would like, expecting the usual response of "Candles" or "Lush". But this time she informed me, no, actually I really am in need of a new purse! She told me how any would do, branded or non branded she didn't care! At first she was mentioning River Island purses, but after doing a bit of personal detective work I discovered she actually wanted a Ted Baker one! 

As a result, I decided to buy a mint green shade Ted Baker purse (larger ones as she does have a lot of loyalty cards etc). It came in a super cute box, and I got a free cotton bag too! Along with the purse (Which was her main gift), I also included a few Flamingo Candle wax melts which I know she loves the scent off... I got these in a big order I made a few weeks back as a few extras to include... And of course, a super awesome card to make her laugh and feel special!


On top of this I aim to make my mums day as special as possible tomorrow, making sure she relaxes, we watch movies, and have fun! I hope you guys do too! Let me know in the comments below how you celebrate? What you got/received/sent? + Don't forget to follow my blog over on the home page!X

So I finally got round to typing up about this amazing skin care collection I received for Christmas as a gift from my mum..  With many skin care products I struggle, with such sensitive, oily and acne-spotty "teen" skin I always break out or struggle to find a product that will work well.. As with any skin products I gave this one ad least two weeks before a seeing the difference and I must admit it works! This product is currently retailing for £49.92 click here to view online, whats included;


Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm (50g) 
This product is amazing! I've never seen something so different before, it's in a huge 50g tub and is in a balm like formula with the smallest amount needed to spread across the whole of your face! I apply this after removing my makeup (using an ordinary makeup wipe), I leave this on for about 2-3 minutes before rinsing off with warm water and patting my face dry. Although I have read other reviews where people have used this balm as a face mask (which I can see working), it's a very thick substance, smells delicious and leaves my skin feeling soft, fresh and beyond clean!

 Soothing Apricot Toner (200ml) 
After using the balm, I instantly apply this toner onto a cotton wool pad (I use about 2-4 pumps which does my whole face). I pat the product gently across my whole face and it helps me feel like I am balancing my skin out (ensuring it doesn't dry out instantly!). 

 Pro-Collagen Marine Cream (30ml) 
Now this product is suppose to help reduce fine lines & wrinkles etc... Which I don't exactly need as I'm still only young.. Although I did try it once or twice and you only need a small amount to cover your whole face! (I mean small amount too, about a pea size!)

 Sweet Orchid Shower Cream (200ml) -
This sweet sugary shower cream is a love of mine! I use it on my body when I'm in the shower but I have put a small amount into my bath and it leaves it milky with small bubbles!

 Sweet Orchid Body Cream (100ml) -
Again the same scent just helps to relax me, this product leaves my skin so soft and feels healthy not drying out! (I peronsally love to apply this on my legs after having a bath/shower)

 Sweet Orchid Hand & Nail Cream (20ml)
This product is perfect sizing for my handbag for long shopping trip days! It's not too big, so fits perfectly and isn't too heavy! It leaves my hands feeling soft, smooth and hydrated.

 Silver Tote Bag
And finally, the cute silver & purple bag which came with the products, this is just a simple travel style bag which I am currently using to store all my skin care products in. The only down side to this is it doesn't have a shut zip or button to close at the top...
Overall I love this set, more importantly the balm & toner has worked perfect with my skin.. I haven't broke out once, and I don't get oily too quick! Let me know if you guys have ever used Elemis products before?X
