Hey guys, so I thought I'd write a short blog post dedicated to the Medium size Dancing Reindeer gift set from Pretty Suds. This way I can explain a little more about each product, and show off more photos.

So the Medium Sack is £9.95 each (view the product on Pretty Suds website here), it comes in a super cute thick wool like material brown bag with a reindeer on top and clasps shut by wrapping the string around the top. (I'm actually obsessed with this design, you don't need to tie the string, it just wraps around the material and stays firmly) So whats inside?;

x1 Yule Be Mine (Bath Bomb) - RRP £3.45
This bath bomb smells so much like chocolate, sweet, sugary and candy like with a cute Christmas pud design. The green mistletoe leaf on top doesn't seem to melt very well when the rest of the bath bomb has fizzed away, it takes awhile to softly melt sort-of like a melt. The product itself left the water a bit of a dull, pale brown like colour (could be improved to be better, but then again what do you expect from a brown bath bomb lol) and the scent lasted hours after I had cleaned/rinsed the bath out.
Rate: 9/10

x1 Chocowork Orange (Soap Slice)
This soap is again very sweet, chocolate and orange spiced like (it reminds me of Terry's Chocolate Orange). The size of this soap bar is pretty generous typically what size you would get from Lush etc.

x1 Bath Scrunchie

There isn't much to say about this, you get a soft white regular size Scrunchie to use when your in the bath (or shower).

x1 Choc Nib (Bath Soak)
I was super excited to try this out, I've never used bath soaks, crystals etc before so when this arrived I didn't know what to expect. The tub itself was filled right to the top with chocolate, sweet scented mini crystals and the description on the packaging said to sprinkle the tub over the water. I was completely unsure how much to use, I didn't want to go using the whole lot in one go so I sprinkled about half into the water. It did bring out a strong scent instantly, but honestly, it didn't do much to the bath water I'm not sure if your to use the whole lot or not? Let me know in comments?X
Rate: 7/10

Overall, I'm pretty satisfied with this set it would be a very suitable gift to give someone who has a bath (and enjoys them).

This product is used like the Lush "bubble bars" where you crumble into warm water and let it turn the water into a soapy scented colourful water! This Rose Jam bubbleroon retails at £3.75 & is in a shape of a Macaroon which I love, it's super stylish and it is PINK!

As with any bubble bar type products I purchase from Lush I only use half of the product for one bath (which allows you to get two uses of the product which is totally worth the money!). So I crumbled half the product into warm water which was plenty! It instantly turned the water into a bright pink, leaving lots of small soapy bubbles all around and leaving the water like a silk soap substance. Plus the scent reminded me so much of Turkish Delight (not sure if anyone else thinks that?)

So I decided to get round to using my Hedgehog bubble bar from Lush, first of I want to say how cute and adorable this guy is! I must admit mine got a little squished in my box of bath products but oh well! The smell was very "Clean" reminding me of "Talcum Powder", plus the scent was very strong! I used half of the hedgehog for my bath (do note when breaking it in half it gets messy, some pieces fly out everyone so do it carefully and in an area easy to clean up!).

I crumbled the pieces into the bath (While the water was still running), it had instantly started to melt, fizzy away and become very "soapy". The water instantly started to fill with bubbles and becoming very milky, only using half of the hedgehog filled my bath tub (which is larger than most) full of bubbles!!! I noticed this was a silky smooth product in the water, and did have a small shimmer of glitter (which didn't stick to my body after drying) although it did leave a small shimmer of glitter in my bath tub which had to be rinsed out afterwards.

Christmas Hedgehog Bubble Bar | Lush

by amyjaneoldfield on 09:00

So I decided to get round to using my Hedgehog bubble bar from Lush, first of I want to say how cute and adorable this guy is! I must admit ...

So over on my birthday which seems age ago but wasn't I purchased the Clinique Sonic System (Which is rather pricey but I have been saving up for a while to get one). On the day of purchasing the product if I bought 1 more skincare I would receive this bundle of mini freebies for FREE! (I also got 20% off my purchase as a Boot's celebration & I could collect points!)

1. High Impact Mascara (Black) ;
This product is a mini version of the full size Mascara which retails at £17.50, I must admit I wasn't overly impressed with the product itself. Personally I found it was very basic, the brush wasn't shaped differently and was rather chunky making it difficult to apply onto my inner corners (especially on my lower lashes!)

2. Chubby Stick ; (Lip balm)
I was so involve when I saw I got this freebie, chubby's are my favorite just because of the style! When I swatched I was shocked by how light the colour was, since it is rather vibrant looking I was expecting a lot of colour to plump out. Although it is a lip balm, so is more for moisturizing you're lips than colouring plus this is a decent size Chubby which normally retails at £17 for full size!

3. Turnaround Overnight Moisturizer ;
This product is a decent size mini as the full size of this product retails at £34 so is a perfect size mini to trail before buying the full size product! I applied a small amount of this all over my face and it felt like I had placed a thick layer of cream over my skin. It felt very cooling and smooth on the skin, which did make me feel more moisturized and like I had a healthy glow.

4. Eye shadow duo ; 18 beached plum
The packaging of this product is super perfect, plus the size is perfect for you're handbag! I love how the outer packaging of this is completely a mirror style which makes it easy to apply and useful as you wouldn't need to carry any other mirror with you! First off, the gold shade is by far my favorite as I love these shades. It has a small shimmer of glitter but would work better if you use a eye primer to lift the colour more. As for the plum purple shade, its very deep and you only need a small amount for a large quantity of colour.

5. Liquid facial soap ;
This soap is perfect to test if it is right for you're skin, I personally think this type (dry combination) would work best with skin that has less issues and maybe suffer with small dry patches etc..

6. Turnaround daytime moisturizer ;
This product is the alernative to the nightime product, and works perfectly on freshly cleansed skin. I noticed when you apply a primer over the top it gives a thick layer making you're skin feel clean with makeup applied!

7. Purple metal tin ;
This tin is large and is perfect for storage, whether you use it to store other cosmetic or skincare products. Or use it to store hair products, bath products etc it is super stylish and useful!

Overall, I was super impressed with this collection of freebies. All the sizes of the products were perfect and would easily last me 2 weeks possibly even longer!
