So I recently purchased two products on Amazon from a brand called Grace & Stella Co. Why? Well I thought it was time to try some new products that I've never herd of before, nor saw many people talk about! So what did I get?!


The first, was a 3D Mascara Fiber Lashes set at £10 (on sale price) when it arrived I had HUGE positive first impressions. The packaging and smaller detail was beautiful, it had a lavish silk-like material inside the box which held the Mascara tube, a Fiber tube (smaller tube pot) and a eyelash brush!

How does it work?
Well you start off with 'Step 1' applying the mascara (bigger tube) over your lashes, once done you apply the 'Step 2' which is the fiber tube. Once you've applied the fibers you go over them straight away with 'Step 1' mascara again to keep the fibers in place. And then repeat the process for further thickness. 

My opinions on the product?
Well, I will admit if your looking for maximum length this isn't for you! But if your looking for thick, natural, fluffy looking lashes then YES! This is for you!!! The mascara isn't overly powerful and using it it's own doesn't exactly 'wow' me. But once you apply the fibers you instantly get a thickness and just makes your lashes come alive! I normally repeat the process twice to get that extra dramatic look, but they look so natural. It doesn't make your lashes look clumpy or stuck together.

The second product I got was a bath bomb set (£16.95) which contained 8 large scented bath bombs and a shower gel. It came again with outstanding packaging, it was in a large beautiful rounded box (perfect to give as a gift). Inside the bath bombs formed a circle with the shower gel in the center, it all fitted so perfectly...


The size of the bath bombs are pretty decent too and what I would call an average size in comparison to bigger brand names like Lush... The bath bombs are more of a luxury, sophisticated product rather than wild, crazy colour changing bath bombs. The scents are mixed from Jasmine to Grapefruit, they are super relaxing! They turn the water a slight change in colour but nothing too dramatic, and a drop of the shower gel gives off a small bit of bubbles is just perfect to relax in! 


I would highly recommend the bath bomb set, especially if your looking to give it as a gift because it's highly worth the money! (if you work out the price it's less than £2.11 per bath bomb!) plus your getting a free shower gel and beautiful packaging.!


Overall, I am really impressed not only are they great products they are also great ideas as gifts and I will be buying again. The company stock a whole range of products on there website and Amazon, I just choose to order through Amazon because of my Amazon Prime account :) X

So while I was visiting Liverpool awhile back I discovered a Lush store and just had to pick up a few things, but first things first this Lush store was much more bigger than my local Chester store. In fact the Liverpool store offers the Lush Spa (which is rare) but has become a new thing I feel I might just have to try out soon..

I ended up picking up two bath bombs and one bath melt, first off the bath melt I've had before now and it's the Razzle Dazzle one. I love this melt, it's small but mighty with a powerful scent of sweet and sugar. As with all Lush bath melts, you pop them into the water at the start of running a bath and it slowly melts away leaving blobs of oil all among the water (which eventually will turn the water into a soft milky colour smelling beautiful).

  • RRP £2 View the product on Lush's website here.


As for the bath bombs I found Dragons Egg I honestly hadn't seen this product before and was very excited to try it out, I didn't know what to expect as it's a milky white bath bomb but I noticed the speckle of bright colours popping out of some corners. When I placed into the bath it was melting away with bright melt colours pushing out of the bath bomb, I then noticed the water starting to crackle and pop (which was a major surprise I never read up about the product but it does contain popping candy) which is amazing. The smell of this bath bomb was soft, gentle on the skin and very relaxing to lie among, plus for the price I think it's great value of money and would 100% purchase again.

  • RRP £3.75 View the product on Lush's website here.


And finally, I picked up the Twilight bath bomb, I have seen lots of bloggers rate about this product over social media but myself personally never got round to trying it. First off I love the colour of the bath bomb, the cute baby pink is perfect to have sitting around on a desk or for display and the smell is very 'lush' like with lavender and a sugar sweet hint. When the product started to fizz away in the bath water, it started to push a powerful blue colour out from inside which had a sparkle of glitter, it left the water beautiful... 

  • RRP £3.75 View the product on Lush's website here.





Overall, I loved this small mini purchase the prices weren't too high or over the top like some of the other bath bombs I've tried previously and all would 100% buy again. I would say Dragon's Egg is probably my favorite out of this purchase. X

So on the day of Lush's Halloween and fall range being released I headed down to my local store (Chester) and picked up one of each bath bomb and bubble bar that was new to the season range..
Pumpkin - £3.95 (View the product online here.)
Now I was slightly shocked by the price of this bath bomb, considering it doesn't have anything inside like others it's slightly on the price side of things... I was expecting the price to be around £3.75 like the other Lush ones, never the less I had to get one. But when I smelt the product I fell in love, the scent is nothing like other Lush products in-fact its a lot more spice like with a hint of strong orange... I loved it that much I ended up buying two, when I put it into the water I noticed the bath bomb melted away very very fast but the smell was so desirable it stuck around my bathroom for hours after I finished my bath.
Would I buy this product again? Yes!!! No question about this product, I love the scent and how powerful it is.
Monsters Ball - £4.25 (View the product online here.)
Now among my stalking on the show case event, this was probably the product I was most excited to try out purely because of the usual look it has unlike the other Lush bath bombs... When I went into store I was instantly put of by the price, I was rather shocked... But then staff came over and explained the eye of the ball was in fact a bath melt and then they went and demo'ed the product in store... I loved the bright colours that burst out of the product, and the smell was very 'lush' like with a very fresh, soft and somewhat sweet scent. 
Would I buy this product again? Possibly, as a one off every now and then the only thing which puts me off this product is the price.

Sparkly Pumpkin - £3.95 (View the product online here).
As usual Lush HAVE to bring back the good oldies, and this pumpkin bubble bar is defiantly one of them. As for the price it's not one of my favorite products again for the size, I slightly feel a little ripped off but never the less I had to purchase! It's one of these very glittery products, you pick it up and and are instantly left with glittery finger tips. You would probably get two decent baths out of this or one very luxury bath!
Would I buy this product again? Yes, honestly this product has been around for awhile each time this season comes it's just one of those things you end up buying even when you say no...

 Autumn Leaf - £3.75 (View the product online here).
Now this is one of the top favorites of the Halloween range products, this reminds me of the 'SUPERDAD' bath bomb because if the height.. The product itself is very 'average' among the style and colours, but I love when you place this product in the water it can float along the top leaving a perfect picture moment!
Would I buy this product again? Yes 100% I love how this just floats among the top of the water, the design is cute and different and isn't too badly priced.


Lord Of Misrule - £3.95 (View the product online here).
This bath bomb is very spice oriented in regards to its scent, plus I do admit it being rather on the strong side but it does grow on you over time. At first the price shocked me a little, but when I used the product it changed my mint 100%. The product itself is green on the outside, but once placed among the water and starts to fizz it turns into a pinky/red wine like colour its so beautiful and pretty to capture.
Would I buy this product again? Possibly, it wouldn't be my first choice as there is many others I would possibly choose first but the product itself is much more of the luxury bath bomb you would use for a one off occasion.

 Boo - £3.50 (View the product online here).
Again, this is something new to Lush this year and I was rather excited because of how festive it is.. When I saw the price I was completely put off, it is very overpriced considering other bath melts are £2 each. Never the less I had to buy one just to try, the scent itself isn't very overpowering it's a simple smell that reminds me of herbs and somewhat of a light lavender which leaves the water a milky colour with very few bubbles. 
Would I buy this product again? Honestly, no I felt the scent wasn't anything which stood out or lasted long and for a melt it was somewhat overpriced.

 Overall I will honestly say I love some of the designs on the products this year, my favorite is by sure the Pumpkin bath bomb purely down to it's scent... X

Hey guys, so I've recently been getting 'bored' of using the same bath products over and over (I have always stuck to using Lush). I've been following a independent company who make all hand made products ranging from bath to candles that are NOT animal tested! Having my first wage last month I decided to treat myself to some new products, I decided to make a small but worthy purchase from Pretty Suds (to see what they are like before buying).

So what did I order?
Strawberry Milkshake Bath Bomb 
I decided to purchase this product purely by the name and description from the site, I love anything 'food' or sweet and sugary scented. First off the size is very generously large, I noticed when I fizzed away in the water it took a long time to dissolve compared to lush bath bombs (which I actually preferred). The water turned very deep in colour, and smelled just as amazing as any other bath bomb I've used before I was truly shocked.

Poke Ball
Now as everyone knows since the new Pokermon App arrived a few months back everyone has been crazy over it, personally I've never been a Pokermon fan. But I saw this product being used over on Pretty Suds Instagram and LOVED the fact once it fizzed away you got a small figure inside the center. I've saw similar stuff where you get a jewlery piece etc inside the center of a bath bomb or candle on social media but has always had a high price. When I saw the affordable price of this I just had to get one, I was so excited to see which figure I would get inside but also because it looks exactly like a pokerball. 





It's scent is very fruity and fresh, exactly like a watery cucumber and watermelon that's just been sliced open something very different to what I've ever had previously with bath bombs.

Sunny Side Up (Charity Egg Box)
When I saw this on the website I just had to get one, first off because you get 6 mini bath bombs which I thought was a great way to trail out the scents and get a good feel for the products (They are smaller versions of what you can buy from the site). Plus the company are donating 50p to the LGBT foundation which is great support and something I love to see is a company being charitable. 





When they arrived I loved the packaging, in a small egg cardboard box holder and a small but worthy amount of paper string straw type of thing (hard to describe), but made them look that little bit more pretty. As soon as you open the box you get a powerful sweet sugary scent of different smells powering through the air (something I get very excited over). Originally I didn't expect them to be great for a luxury bath because of size, but they honestly worked just like a normal large bath bomb they turned the water into it's true deep colour and smelled so strong they was perfect for a luxury bath full of hot water to relax in!

Candyfloss (Luxury Wax Tart)
When I saw this product on the website I was unsure what to expect purely because the picture looked so detailed and delicate I didn't really expect the smell to be anything that strong. (I thought it would be design over scent) But I was completely wrong! It came looking out of this world stunning, such delicate detail with glitter and sprinkles. Plus it has a very strong scent of sugary sweet candyfloss reminding me of being at a arcade or theme park.

FAQ Tips and facts below;
Something extra to note is the fact the company off a points scheme (something I didn't notice till after purchasing), but for every product you buy you receive a specific amount of points (the higher the points the higher the price). When you get the specific amount of points stated on each product you can cash out / purchase and pay £0! (excluding postage). With this order it came to £12.90 + £3.95 shipping + £0.58p VAT totaling at £16.85 and received 51 points!
Plus after ordering I received a thank you email with a 10% off my next order coupon code (which expires 2 weeks from order date) which is an amazing gift if I'm honest! 

Packaging;
You can 100% tell that everything is hand made and time is took to make everything look perfect! First off all the products came in a decently large size cardboard box taped all over with fragile tape. It had my address written on a super cute sticker that had pretty suds logo, and slogan on with return address (which stood out a lot and I loved it, even my postman commented how different and unique it was). Inside the box it was packed carefully with the white circular like soft bubble type packaging to ensure nothing moved around. 
Each product was carefully packaged itself in a see-through plastic bag, tied with a string and paper tag or sticker attached to give the product name and detail. (Something I love, as it's not only an extra layer of protection but it looks great to give as a gift) 
The receipt / invoice was also placed in a cute blue envelope with a pretty suds sticker to close shut (something else I've never seen before but very unique and stylish).


Overall, I'm in love with the products, the company, and the packaging with the extra coupons being a major bonus. I will be ordering again soon when I get more money and trying out some other products which is very excited. And it's safe to say, I think I've found a new love for bath bombs. X

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 as you guys may already know, I bought a few Lush products & gift sets one of them being The 12 Days Of Christmas box. This is packed of 12 different lush products including bath bombs, bubble bars, soaps & shower creams! RRP £49.95 but It was 50% OFF so was £24.98



First off the box itself is HUGE! And super cute packaged, when you open the first door it shows you a cute Christmas design cover where you then open that layer up to find 12 individual slots where the products are.


1. Snow Angel Bath Melt 100g
This melt is HUGE for 100g and can easily get two uses out of by halfing it for each bath. The underneath is SUPER glittery just by picking it up which may be a problem when using in the bath (I hope it doesn't stick to the skin when getting out) & will probably have to clean the bath out after using it!



2. Five Gold Rings Bubble Bar 100g
This product comes with five SUPER glittery bubble bar rings on it which I was told by store staff you crumble one off per bath which is super good as you can get five bath worth's out of this product! I did use one of this already and found it smelt great, it did turn the water glittery but it didn't stick to my skin BUT I did have to clean the bath out afterwards.

3. The Comforter Shower Cream 100g
The size of this bottle is PERFECT for trailing out before buying a larger size. And I LOVE this product, the smell is super strong and full reminding me off blackcurrant and even after using it, it leaves your skin smelling so nice for ages!


4. Avobath Bomb 180g 
This bath bomb is HUGE in size, and it fizzes up giving a super strong lemon fresh scent to the water & air. The scent was beyond strong and you could smell it from the hall way outside the bathroom! It left my skin nice and smooth after too.

5. Celebrate Body Lotion 45g
This pot is another good size before buying larger to trail, I've never really bought body lotions of Lush before as I always have a stock up from gifts off people. But I can say this lotion is packed of somewhat a vanilla scent and is really smooth on the skin (you only need a little and it gives a thick layer).


6. Butterbear Bath Bomb 75g
In case you guys don't know I have already written about this bath bomb on my blog before which you can read HERE.

7. Yog Nog Soap 120g
I love LOVE love this bar of soap it smells so tasty packed of spice scents there isn't much more I can say, apart from I would 100% purchase this again.


8. Golden Wonder Bath Bomb 200g
I know this bath bomb says 200g but I seriously cannot get over how large this bath bomb is! It is generally HUGE, it smells so good too but I'm yet to try this product so I'm excited to see its water changing colour.

9. Holly Golightly Bubble Bar 190g
For 190g this bubble bar is HUGE and I can easily see me getting two possibly even three uses out of this. It is VERY glittery when you pick it up with a silver glitter to it but smells very "christmasy".


10. Yuzu & Cocoa Shower Cream 100g
Another perfect bottle size to trail before buying the full size, this product smells very tasty and reminds me of coconut with chocolate orange.

11. Cinders Bath Bomb 100g
This bath bomb is SUPER cute looking, I must admit I haven't tried it yet but it smells delicious.

12. Dashing Santa Bath Bomb 100g 
Incase you guys didn't know I've already written about this bath bomb which you can read HERE.

 Overall, I am in love with this gift set because it gives you a mix of products to use and there isn't one I can say I dislike! Let me know in the comments below what you guys think?Do you have a favorite lush gift set?X
