One thing that really bugged me when I placed my first order was I wanted to add more quantities of products but due to the glitchy website it became virtually impossible. So once I made my first order, I managed to go back on the site (instantly) and try to see if I could add multiple products to my basket. 
What I ordered on the first time round;

  • Farther Christmas (bath bomb) - £1.88 RRP £3.76 (x2)
  • Never Mind The Ballistics (bath bomb) - £2.13 RRP £4.26 (x2)
  • Shoot For The Stars (bath bomb) - £2.13 RRP £4.26 (x2)
  • Northern Lights (bath bomb) - £1.98 RRP £3.96 (x1)
  • Snow Angel (luxury bath oil) - £2.13 RRP £4.26 (x1)
  • The Christmas Penguin (bubble bar) - £1.98 RRP £3.96 (x1)
  • Butterbear (bath bomb) - £0.98 RRP £1.96 (x1)
  • Snow Fairy (shower gel) - £1.98 RRP £3.96 (x1)

Of course, this time round it worked perfectly fine... Which meant I ended up ordering even more to add to my lush collection! The one thing that was annoying was the fact I paid for postage TWICE! I did try to contact Lush via email/twitter to ask if they could combine the postage and ship out as one big order but never herd back... (disappointing)

  • Farther Christmas (bath bomb) - £1.88 RRP £3.76 (x6)
  • Never Mind The Ballistics (bath bomb) - £2.13 RRP £4.26 (x6)
  • Shoot For The Stars (bath bomb) - £2.13 RRP £4.26 (x4)
  • Northern Lights (bath bomb) - £1.98 RRP £3.96 (x6)
  • The Christmas Penguin (bubble bar) - £1.98 RRP £3.96 (x1)

Overall, I'm not impressed with Lush because of the lack of control they had over the boxing day sale yet again. Plus, when I ordered it took way over 24 hours before I even got a confirmation email yet they took the money instantly out my paypal.

Hey guys, so one of the beauty advent calendars I picked up this year was the Feel Unique one. This was RRP £30 (however there was some sort of 10% discount I think or 20% when I purchased as I remember only paying around £25-£27), it's only a 12 day calendar but packed with high end, luxury goods!


I decided to purchase after seeing you get a Laura Geller highlighter (the big win for me), so what was included?;

 1. Nuxe Reve De Miel Lip Balm
I was pretty shocked by the size of this, I'm pretty sure its sort-of a full size? (might be wrong) but WOW! It smells beautiful, its packaging is very high-end and reminds me of Bobbi Brown jars. Plus, the product is amazing, out-of this world and I would 100% purchase this again (I'd never even herd of Nuxe before but now I've tried this I need more!)

2. Laura Geller Highlighter 
This is a mini product from Laura Geller, if anything I've never saw such a mini highlighter pot before. I was slightly disappointed with the size of this product purely as I didn't realize it would be so small. 

However, the product itself has a much more bronze glow shimmer rather than a sparkle which I normally use. I noticed when I applied this onto my cheeks to finish my makeup look it wasn't majorly dramatic, a much more natural glow. I personally think it would be best suited to a more tanned person, as I am very porcelain skin its not dramatically noticeable compared to some other products I've used.
3. Popband Duo
This is something else I hadn't ever really herd of before, when I opened it my first instant reaction was what an earth? Is this cheap? Pointless? Useless that will be thrown in my draw and never used?

But when my mum overseen what I got she become super excited, the told me all the craze over these during the past few months. A perfect product to tie up hair with and avoid any knotting, snapping and damage (something which I always need, I find regular hair ties always cause this and I never do anything about it).

So after trying these out for the past week or so I'm in love, they are so easy to use and not majorly tight on the head but keeps your ponytail up! I've noticed how much I'm looking after my hair with these products so may have to invest in more! I highly recommend trying them out.

4. Bourjois Eyeshadow 
OH MY GOSH! Just stop, lets award Bourjois for creating the most beautiful product I've ever seen. I'm in love, this shadow is in the shade 'Originale 03' a super shimmery, sparkle tan, gold shade. It's beautiful!!!! This is 100% the best product in this advent calendar and I'm beyond in love I feel like I need to stock up on 100's of these.

5. Ole Henriksen Truth Sugar Glow Polishing Mask 
This product is very different, something I've never tried out before. It's a decent size (15g) so can easily get a few uses. When you first look at the product, it smells so sugar, sweet and looks very unusual (reminds me of seeded jam)! It's a unsual formal which is very liquid like (so make sure your not applying over an expensive bedding, or product lol) but leaves your skin so soft and smooth like WOW!!!! 
- I will write more about this over on Twitter/Instagram over the next few weeks when I try it out a bit more.

6. Balance Me Instant Lift Pore Minimiser
This is a small/mini size product but smells so soft, fresh and clean plus when you apply it leaves a soft smooth layer onto your skin. I personally think this is an excellent product to apply just on your t-zones or under your eyes before applying your primer/foundation.

7. Rimmel London 'The One Lipstick'
This is a full size product (rare in this box I know!) but is a bright red shade, and I mean bright! I'm not sure about this product, if I'm honest I think it might be one of them which never leaves my draw. The shade isn't something I always wear, it's more for a dramatic look, an attention 'look at me' so I feel, so is something I'd probably where on a night out or as a statement to match/pair with an outfit.

8. Decler Hydrafloral BB Cream
There isn't much I can say about this product, it's a small mini size at 10ml but came in the shade 'Medium'. Which is clearly way to dark for my porcelain pale skin, if I'm honest I think its slightly a bit dark for my mums skin tone too!

This is probably the only let down with this advent calendar, I feel like we should of had the option to select a 'shade'. But never the less, I will find someone to try this product out and let you guys know over Twitter/Instagram.

9. Percy & Reed Wonder Balm
I got rather excited when I saw this product, it's not a huge size but not a miniature mini product. It smells very fresh, clean and somewhat reminds me of the type of expensive floral parfum you can buy. 

I've only used this product once so far (I don't like using hair treatments more than twice a week) but I did notice a difference! It let my hair feeling much more soft, smelling beautiful and looked somewhat healither (thats on the first go!). I will see how the rest of this product goes but I feel like possibly investing in the full size, showing you guys some before/after photos over on my Instagram/Twitter. What do you think?

10. Roger & Gallet Shower Gel
WOW! This a huge 50ml size (yes i know thats not massive massive, but compared to the rest of the product sizes in this it is), the product itself is one of my favorites out of this. The scent reminds me of fresh roses with a hint of sweet floral, I'm super excited to use it out.
11. PUR Correcting Primer Illuminate & Glow
This is a very small mini size at 10ml, I've already used this a handful of times and have to say WOW! I'm in love, this is a great product to prime your face with but also to wear alone. For those dull days where you don't leave the house, or need to run out for one thing this is perfect. It has a colour tint (very hard to describe) but when you apply it somewhat removes/hides the redness and evens out your skin colour looking super natural and glow like! 

12. Palmers Coconut Oil Body Lotion
This is another decent 50ml bottle for size, it smells of course with a strong coconut like scent. It's very soft and smooth to apply and yea? What more do you need right?

Overall, I'm glad I got this beauty advent calendar, it gave me the chance to try out so many brands I've never herd of. And fall in love with so many products, although I am slightly disappointed with the size of some of the products (could of been a little larger) you got a range of stuff. - Not like some calendars which are just makeup, or skincare, or fragrance you get a mix! By far the best I thought where the Bonjouris shadow, Nuxe, Percy & Reed, PUR primer, popbands, Roger & Gallet and of course the Laura Geller (could of been larger though, plus pretty much ALL the products!).

Let me know if you got this calendar? Would you get it again? What other advents have you had this year?X

So a while back River Island had a sale on.. And of course I took the chance to grab a few bits, if I'm honest with you guys I was slightly disappointed I spent the whole of about 15 minutes on the website going through the sale and adding various items to my basket. But when I was finished and clicked to see the basket, to checkout it popped up explaining half of my basket had became out of stock! (Shame) So in the end, I only ended up buying two items... (Even though I originally had about six)

The first, which is the product I'm most excited about is this beautiful bag... I picked it purely down to design, the large style appealed to me purely down to being able to use it for university. Carrying books, laptop etc would be perfect to fit inside this bag (plus I don't always like taking too expensive bags into university!). The bag itself has a large compartment inside which is opened and shut by a small metal clasp button... Perfect to put less expensive products in because it can easily be seen as it's not full shut off, I would personally put things like a hair brush, books etc inside that bit.. Within that compratment it as a small zip area like most other bags. But then the part which I love about this bag is on the back theres a full size compartment which is fully zipped across the top which is very secure and perfect to fit my laptop in! The bag also has the option to be used with a satchel strap (which I personally doubt I will use).

 I then purchased these beautiful shoes, (website exclusive) I loved the white colour with the croc design it was great for the end of summer and into fall season... And I must admit these are one of the most comfortable shoes I have worn yet, I was worried about the part which shuts by pushing the metal though the material and clasping shut because I have such small, skinny ankles. Normally with shoes (or belts use the same) I have to end up putting an extra hole to make sure it shuts tight around my ankle but these are perfect! No issues!

I know this is probably the smallest mini haul purchase I've wrote about on the blog, but I just had to mention about the bag because of how perfect it is for school/college/university I highly suggest for people to check out River Island because the bags they offer are just perfect. X

Hey guys, so I recently visited the Yankee Candle store in Liverpool city center which is another small size store like most I've managed to visit. I went in just to have a quick browse as whats new and to pick up one or two things, that's when I noticed one entire block of shelves was pretty much empty with only one or two things left... On the side there was a 70% off note sign for this display (hence why it was likely to be left empty). 

To my amazement the store even had a security guard on the door, my mum asked what was happening why the huge sale? Was the store shutting down? He laughed with a reply of no, they just have too much stock and need to sell it so they can fit the new stuff in... This is the second day of the sale, but they are about to close the shop for lunch then restock after is there anything in particular your after?" My mum was in complete shock, as where I... She asked if there would be any jars in the sale? He then told her to head towards the back of the store, while he would go get some out the back (there wasn't many people in the store as they had just shut the doors behind us).. He came back with a small box of candles that where we picked up a few jars, then decided to go back after lunch to checkout the restock and ended up buying again! (Crazy, but for 70% off who wouldn't?)

 Summer Scoop
When I first went into the store there was several votive's in this scent, but when the security gaurd went in the back to get some jars there was one of this scent which I leaped in to get hold of. I picked up three votive's of summer scoop RRP £1.80, but in the sale they was only £0.54p, then I managed to grab the last medium size jar RRP £18.99, but in the sale it was £5.70. The scent is very fresh, food like with a slight sugary sweet with a vanilla ice-cream hint...

 Sweet Apple
There was a few large jars and votive's of this scent when the store restocked after lunch, I picked up one because I was struggling to carry for space... The scent is very food-like, with a sweet sugary apple that isn't too overpowering with 'fruity' and 'foody' smells.

 Lavender
This scent was the first I saw and grabbed my hands on, they seemed to have a large amount of these on sale (and I would of bought more if I was able to carry them all back with me haha). To my suprise they even had this scent on display in the 'non' sale section even though it was 70% off, as for the scent its exactly what the name is... A very floral, fresh, powerful 'lavender' smell. I picked up one large jar RRP £21.99 but in the sale only cost me £6.60, one medium jar RRP £18.99 but only costing £5.70 in the sale. And then two votives RRP £1.80 but again, in the sale only costing £0.54p.

 Lemon Lavender
There was only a small handful of this scent left, they only had medium size jars so of course I couldn't leave it there... The smell is slightly different to the 'lavender' and more of a sweet, watery lemon smell with a slight hint of floral lavender.

Fluffy Towels
This scent was the last on sale, in fact it wasn't even placed out on display and in one of the sale cardboard boxes on the floor. I was just very cheeky and picked up the medium size jar then asked for the price and shocking it was only £5.70 even though it's RRP £18.99. The scent is one of my all time favorites, it's a very soft fresh like smell that reminds me of talcum powder.

 Clean Cotton
This melt was in the same box as the fluffy towels, the last medium jar (or the only one I could see in this scent). I picked it up and asked if it was in the sale, assuming it was since there was lots of lavender jars inside the same box... And of course it was!! Retailing in the sale for only £5.70 I added to my basket and purchased straight away. This scent is very soft, refreshing and 'clean' like almost reminding me of newly washed bedding, or the smell of the detergent you use when cleaning... So refreshing!

 Pink Dragon Fruit
This was again, the only jar I could see in store of this scent, and of course because it was very bright and pink I grabbed it before anyone else could! The scent is very sweet and tropical, but not too powerful and only costing £5.70 for the medium jar!!! Even though this is RRP £18.99 still on Yankee's website...

Pink Sands
The store seemed to have lots of this jar in medium and small jars so I decided to pick up one medium (£5.70) and three small jars (£2.70). Personally because I thought the small jar size would be a perfect stocking filler for Christmas (yes, I know, I'm already thinking of Christmas haha!). The scent is very soft, exotic and reminds me of a spicy vanilla but nothing too overpowering or food-like.

 Lake Sunset
When the store restocked later on after lunch, there was again lots of small jars in this scent, hence the reason why I decided to pick up three small jars. Again I thought these would be perfect for stocking fillers (If I don't use them by then) but for the sale price I couldn't leave them there! Again this scent is very outdoor, fresh and has an 'air' like smell reminding me of summer nights.

 Turquoise Sky
The store also had a lot of small jar's in this scent, hence I decided to pick just one up (I would of gotten more but by this point I had already picked up lots of stuff, and was starting to worry about how I would get it all home on the train lol). The scent is very fresh and outdoor like, reminding me of sea waters and the sandy salt beaches.

Witches Brew
Surprisingly, I picked a votive of this scent up which WASN'T in the 70% off sale, RRP £1.80... In fact it was part of the new Halloween range from Yankee (very exciting), I just loved the scent it was very musk like reminding me slightly of winter spices and something unique and exotic.

Overall, I ended up spending a grand total of £68.94, which seems a lot but considering all but one of these products was 70% off I saved a HUGE amount of money... I'm also rather shocked, because all the products are still FULL price on Yankee's website all round I got myself an amazing deal. Let me know if you guys ever got some pretty awesome Yankee Candle deals in the comments below or over my social media?X

I recently went on a small New Look splurge purchasing a few things I thought would be great for times like now, and for the winter season which is fast approaching us. Plus I just wanted to find an excuse to do a bit of online shopping right?!

Black Heels - Size 6 (UK)
So the first thing that was the main reason why I wanted to purchase was for these black suede heels, they zip up the back and are stretchy crossed lace like patterned on the front. When I got these I was slightly overwhelmed with how high they was, something I wasn't anticipating if I do say so! I would estimate them to be a good 5 or 6 inch heel height, and when I put them on I feel as though the backs of them push my feet forward more making it difficult to walk in... However I refuse to give up on these beauties and will be practicing to walk around the house in them during the next few weeks. 



Baby Pink Ribbed Body Suit
I recently purchased a baby pink ribbed jumper from Lipsy, but it's cropped and honestly I get rather insecure when wearing a crop top.. I just hate showing skin! (I'm not fat or embarrassed just not a fan of it). I bought a size 10 thinking about the length of this as I'm tall but was worried it might not fit as I've never worn one of these before... It fitted perfect! It's slightly loose around the waist area but in length it's perfect, the shoulders are more 'off the shoulder' style but there is one major problem with this. At the bottom of this it has a button like shutting, I assume to make it easier to go the bathroom when wearing the product right? But WOW! It's majorly uncomfortable to wear with a pair of jeans over the top, I'm not sure if I will wear this or use it because you feel the plastic dig straight into your leg as you walk! Note to myself - buy one without this feature next time.

Batwing High Neck Tan Jumper
I purchased this thinking it would be great for the fall season, high neck because I love that style, but a lightweight knit material for the cooler days... I ordered a size medium (thinking let it be slightly loose and baggy) but WOW! It's huge.... Originally I was going to send this back but just decided to keep it now, I do regret not buying a size small, because honestly I would say this jumper could easily fit a size 12-14 whereas I'm more of a size 8-10. But I've just tucked the jumper into my jeans and sort-of make do with it... 

Knitted High Neck Vest Jumper
This jumper was something different to what I've seen before, the vest top like sleeveless armed was just something which intrigued me... Again I went for a size medium thinking let it be loose and over-sized as during the winter times I prefer a loose baggy jumper to snuggle up into, but my bad! The medium must be around a size 12-14 because it's just huge, I doubt I will be wearing this unless I wash it and try to shrink it in size... A bonus is the material is very soft and cuddle-like.

So recently Makeup Revolution had a major 50% off sale on selected products (of which there was a majorly huge variety of choice which was surprising). Among the wide choice of products I had, I decided to make a joint combined order with my mum to share products and save on postage!

1. Radiant Light - Exhale £2.50
I can honestly say I've fallen in love with Makeup Revolution Illuminating products, I've used a few previously. But this one may actual become a new love of mine, it's super pigmented and very 'creamy' shaded with a mix of a light rose gold like shimmer. 

  • Link for Radiant Light in shade 'Exhale'  on makeup revolution site - RRP £5 Click here.

2. The One Concealer Medium £1.50
Now I was unsure what to expect from this product, it looked very unusual and similar to the Benefit Cosmetics 'fakeup' concealer. When I applied (which was bought for my mum as shes a darker shade where as I'm pale), I felt like it didn't give the maximum 'WOW' affect, if anything I felt like it was an average coverage. However, I never had problems with it creasing or drying out (positive). (RRP £3)

 3. Ultra Velour Lip Cream-Move your mouth forever - £1.50
The reason I choose this product was because of the simple 'nude like' colour, when it arrived I was slightly shocked by the size (I think I was expecting it to be bigger). But it's texture is really soft, moisturizing and creamy on the lips plus it lasted for a long period of time. (RRP £3)

 4. Awesome Metals Eye Foils Rose Gold - £2
I didn't really know what to expect when using this product, I decided to buy as an 'experiment'. When it arrived its packaging was very compact, it was perfect to fit in three pieces of equipment needed to use this product all in a small box! You get the metal shadow in a pot, a circular silver tin pot to apply the product / mix and then a liquid which u use to mix with the shadow like product to get the 'metal look'. It was easy to use, simple, no confusion and it did come with instructions (which honestly I thought was not needed as it seemed obvious what to do) but still wow! It applied easy, lasted all day long and dried out instantly (which was a bonus). The shade itself was perfect too, a rose gold it had a lot of silver shimmer mixed with a gold shade!
  • Link for Awesome Metals Eye Foils Rose Gold  on makeup revolution site - RRP £4 Click here.
5. I Heart Makeup Brush Kit £2.50 each - Purple & Blue
I bought two sets of these (one for my mum and one for myself), I feel in love with these the day they got launched because of the unique glam touch on the handles. They are min's, so they fit perfect into a travel bag or handbag plus they are easy to handle and use. I personally have been using the larger brush for cheeks blush, the angled brush for highlighter under my brows, and the smaller rounder brush tipped one for eye-shadow application all have worked perfect to my needs. One thing I would love to see from these products is them made into larger 'normal' sized brushes so I could use them everyday.
  • Link for purple set on makeup revolution site - RRP £5 (Unicorns Unite) click here.
  • Link for purple set on makeup revolution site - RRP £5 (Mermaid Forever) click here.
6. Ultra Face Base Foundation - £1.50 each
So at such a low price my mum really wanted to try out these foundation products, as with any 'face' products I'm very careful because of the risk of 'spot' out breaks or the product not agreeing with my skin. I personally have a very 'oily/combination/sensitive' skin type which is usually a nightmare to work with. I used the 02 Pink Tone shade product which is a PERFECT shade match for anyone who is majorly pale like myself (porcelain), when I applied the product it went on smoothly and lasted all day long. It never went patchy at all! I did feel like you would have to build up a lot for coverage and would recommend using a very good concealer for under your eyes, and anything you wish to cover up. The 03 Yellow Tone was more for someone with a medium-light shade, my mum was the perfect skin colour match for this. Plus with it being yellow tone it works great with redness on the skin, again the coverage was 'average' but it lasted all day long which is the main bonus, along side with how affordable it is!

  • Ultra Face Base Foundation-FB 02 Pink Tone - RRP £3 Click to view online here.

7. 5 Baked Eyeshadows - £1.25
WOW! I am in love with this product, first of the shades are perfect to blend together or wear on there own. The lightest shade on the top left corner works great to apply under the brow for an extra highlighting feature. All the shades are super pigmented and honestly do last for a good few hours (even longer if you use an eye-shadow primer).
  • 5 Baked Eyeshadows-Electric Dreams - RRP £3 Click to view on makeup revolution here.

8. Unicorns Unite Lipstick - 50p each
So I ordered three different shades of these lipsticks, purely because of the cheap affordable price. I didn't expect much from them (probably because of the price), but also because with most lip products in this shade they are very less pigmented and more of an over gloss shade. But WOW! I was wrong.. First off, by far the blue shade (horn of magic) was my most favorite, the shade was so unique in itself with an unusual pattern. All three lip products where surprisingly pigmented well, you do need to put a good amount on for an outstanding dramatic look but overall one layer would most likely be enough. Plus with the new 'Alice In Wonderland' movie and all cosmetic brands releasing bright vibrant colours, I feel like this is the perfect time to use them!

  • Unicorns Unite Lipstick Horn Of Magic (blue) - RRP £1 Click to view online here.
  • Amazing Lipstick Felony (yellow) - RRP £1 Click to view online here.
Overall, I'm in love with this order it came in a speedy time scale and everything was packaged perfectly to prevent damage. I am honestly impressed with all the products, especially the lipsticks, foundations and eyeshadows! Let me know below or on Twitter / Instagram of your favorite Makeup Revolution products?X

So on Bank Holiday (which seems so far away) I took a bit of a shopping trip, and of course I had to stop off in my local Yankee Candle store. They had a surprising 20% off everything offer on only for the Bank Holiday. (excluding any current offers they had on) The first lot I picked up was x10 wax melts 'Home Sweet Home', these are one of my favorite Winter scents because I love the cinnamon twist and spices smell. You are probably thinking x10 is a lot, but they had an amazing offer on where you pick x10 wax melts (from a selection of four different scents I think, they was all Christmas/Winter themed) for only £5! That's literally 50p per wax melt which is AMAZING! I then picked up a car air-freshener in the jar style, scent 'Vanilla cupcake' because of course this is my all time favorite scent, and I received 20% off the original price for this.

I then bought a giant pack of tealight candles (which I only bought because of the 20% off), I also bought x1 each of the new wax melts "spring" scents - Of which the Olive & Thyme scent is AMAZING and I highly recommend it. I also bought a new melt burner, I picked the all black one because black goes with most colours, plus it's melt holder is a lot taller making it less likely to have an over-spill of wax, easier to clean and maintain. And finally I bought a three pack of car air-fresheners in 'Vanilla cupcake' as a supply stock up with the discount offer being available! 

I know this post was only short, but I just wanted to share my amazing offers I got with the surprise discount and I would recommend visiting any local stores you might have nearby because I know the one in Chester had a lot of offers on, with exclusive large jars, and buy any two medium jars for £30 etc! Thank you for reading! X 

Yankee Candle Haul

So on Bank Holiday (which seems so far away) I took a bit of a shopping trip, and of course I had to stop off in my local Yankee Candle stor...

So I've recently started Experiential Learning in University (which is basically where you do a work placement for 7 weeks), with this I've been on the haunt to buy new clothes which is more "work appropriate". I went to Primark with the intentions to buy some shoes, but managed to pick up a whole load of things!

1. Cream Pointed Shoes - I picked up these simple but cute shoes for only £3! They was in the sale, but I picked them up because of how simple they looked with a gold trip around the small heel base. They are more of a suede material, easy to slip on and off and a light colour perfect for the summer (And they would go with pretty much any outfit).

 2. Brown Heeled Boots - I picked these boots up because of how stylish they looked, a more popular style this spring if I'm honest. I bought them because they was really comfy to wear, they zip up the side and have a 'lace' like appearance down the side with 'tassels' flowing loosely. They are again a suede material, and the colour goes perfect with a handbag I recently bought. Plus to my amazement, when I went to pay they price had been lowered to just £10!


3. White Pocket Vest Top - This top is very lightweight, and sheer like. It has two fairly large pockets on the front (near the top part) and buttoned up straight down the middle. With the vest like style and lightweight material, I felt it was perfect to wear with the warmer weather starting, plus the white/cream shade material will go with most clothes and a perfect 'Smart' look top for 'Work' etc.

 4. Snake Print Shorts - These shorts where laid out near the pajama/shoe section, so personally I would wear just around the house to lounge around in or for bed. They where only £2.50, very thin lightweight material and have been perfect to wear with the warm evenings we've been experiencing recently, plus I love the pattern really modern and unique.

 5. Head Piece - So while looking in the jewelry section I discovered this unique headband piece for only £1, it's elastic band (in a black material) which can easily be hidden with my dark hair (bonus factor). And, the pale pink gems on the front work great with most colours, it can be worn on the forehead or on the hair as a headband something different to try out.

 6. Necklace - This necklace was an amazing cheap price for £1, I loved how large it appeared, but I must admit once I took it out the packaging I was not a fan. This necklace is based of beads (which looks fine) but they are all on a small elastic band, first off it's risky... One small pull and the elastic will break and you will be left with a mess of beads, but also it's hard to maintain a simple shape, it becomes very odd-shaped and looks pretty awful when you wear it.

 7. Black 3/4 Ankle Trousers - I loved the style of these, they where a cotton style material in a smart trouser style (fake pockets on the backs and side pockets). Plus they are 3/4 ankle length which is great for warmer weathers, the colour black is perfect too.. It would go well with any clothing colour, however I felt these where too "smart" when I wore and even trying to dress them down became a major chore. 

 8. Patterned 3/4 Ankle Trousers - I also picked up another pair of trousers, these are the exact same style as the black ones except they are patterned in a black & white colour scheme, they are a comfy fit and easy to dress up or dress down. 


 Overall, I'm in love with majority of the products I purchased, they are great to work for smart occasions but can easily be worn with casual looks too.. Let me know in the comments or on Twitter you recent/best Primark buy?X

Thanks for reading!

Hey guys, so I thought i'd write up a haul post based on all the Lush Kitchen products I managed to get my hands on in March! First off I just want to point out, this took a LOT of work to get these, I was setting alarms to ensure I was awake and on my computer at 8am sharp to order before they sell out. (Yea, some of these sold out in minutes which is just crazy right?)



Karma Bubble Bar - £3.25 each
The first products I ordered was four Karma Bubble Bars, these a completely different model to the old Karma one Lush had. It's very bright and orange, oval shaped and isn't overly huge I would honestly say you could get one luxury bath with this or two more reserved baths. The product itself let a LOT of bubbles out, it was crazy and by far one of the most bubbliest I've seen. It left the water in a orange shade, smelling of a fresh fruity citrus scent mixed with oranges. For the price I would probably buy this again, but it's just something I wanted to add to my collection ( I wouldn't overly rate this but that's just me).


Down The Rabbit Hole - £3.95
I ordered four of these as I had received one just a few days before based off a Lush Oxford Street purchase (you can read about here). 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.


Tweet Bubble Bar - £3.45
When I first heard about these products (which was when they was on sale in the Lush Oxford Street Store), I quickly became obsessed with how cute they looked. All of them was different shapes, different eyes and just adorable in my opinion...When I saw they was on Lush Kitchen I tried my hardest to buy but they instantly sold out, (a lot of people missed out too)... So after some hard work I found some buyers who was willing to part with some and managed to two! They are fresh  orange and citrus scented (very strong too), however they aren't all that large in size so would probably have to use a whole on for a bath. But honestly, I'm too afraid to use them they are so cute!


Which Came First? Bath Bomb - £6.95
When I saw the menu for the Kitchen I was really confused by this product, I didn't see how it would be an exclusive because it had the same name as the pink egg on the store site and in stores which can be bought anytime... But when I saw it I realized it was different! It was a yellow egg, I just had to buy. The scent is sooooo sweet, sugary and beyond tasty smelling I am just in love. Although it seems pricey I love these products because once you've cracked the Egg you have three bath bombs which means three baths! The product itself was simple to crack, I had 0 difficulty and inside I received the bunny (which was also easy to get out it hadn't stuck to the product inside). You can see a video I made cracking this open over on my Instagram here, and watch the video of the bunny Fizzing away with the chick I got from another Which Came First bath bomb here. And a video I made of the egg shell fizzing away on my Instagram here.




Overall, I am in love with all the products and have gotten a huge obsession with Lush Kitchen! Out of all the products I can honestly say that Down The Rabbit Hole bubble bar is by far my favorite, just because of its size, affordability and pretty colours!

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
