Hey guys! I thought today I would write a mini short blog post on two of the recently new Lush Cosmetics bath products I managed to purchase! First off the Rose Bombshell bath bomb as part of the mothers day retailing at £3.95 (click here to view online). To begin with, I was shocked to see this as part of the mothers day range and would of honestly expected to see this in the Valentines day collection as it's so "lovable". It's scent is packed of fresh floral smells like pink roses, but it somewhat was sugary and sweet reminding me of turkish delight! When I placed inside the water it instantly fizzed away bright pink with rose petals bursting out, it felt so relaxing and romantic I could of stayed in the bath all night long!

And the Ladybird bubble bar was another collection from the mothers day products retailing at £3.95 (click here to view online). Again, I love this product first off because it's super cute looking but it's scent is super fresh, strong and clean smelling fruity! As with majority of Lush bubble bars, I split this in half to get two uses out of. I found it easy to split down the middle and into half, and crumbled easily under the warm water where lots of bubbles blew out! Plus, it gave so much of a strong red colour to the water I was shocked considering I only used half of the product! Click here to view a video I made of the product on my Instagram.
Overall, I am in love with both these products and would buy both again purely because of how relaxing they was! Let me know in the comments below if you've used these? What's your favorite lush product?X
So after receiving March's Glamour Magazine in the post I instantly fell in love as they used my favorite colours in the cover! Plus this magazine is jam packed with fashion icons and solutions with lots of models throughout showing off the new season styles.
To those of you who expect to receive freebies in magazines, prepare to be disappointed as this month Glamour haven't included ANY samples or mini's throughout and you only receive the Graze coupons. However, one thing I did notice about the magazines fashion throughout is all the style on crinkles and cut out clothes on the models. Of which, it seemed to showoff photographs unique style in capturing photos of the same scene within a canvas of different angles throughout!
Overall, I did enjoy reading and looking at all the new fashion styles and whats in and not in! It was a perfect magazine to relax to some music and enjoy a soft clean candle while reading and making notes on what you need in your wardrobe this season! X
Hey guys! Since its coming up to Valentines day I thought why not include a cute post based on "love" "valentine" lip colour choices and ideas you could use! Some of the products I included are based of either a red or pink colour for that cheeky kiss feel.
For pinks, I've included Smashbox lip gloss in the shade Pout (pale blue pink) which could be worn on its own or paired with a lipstick. Lipsticks in pink shades include W7 collection of Kiss Chase, City of London both pale pink and bright pink!
Or, for the red tones I included a lipstick from Avon which is a deep red which is perfectly paired with Helen E lip liner in the shade 2. Which both can be covered in a lip gloss or wore on its own from Smashbox in the shade Disco Rose (rich rose). And of course, I included two nail varnishes a pale pink from Nails Inc or a deep red off OPI.
Let me know below in the comments what shade you'l be wearing for Valentines this year?X
Hey guys! Another month, another subscription box arrives packed of love scented wax melts from Flamingo Candle's melt crowd! As usual with this subscription box you receive eight wax melts but with valentine's just around the corner a surprise of two love bugs instead of a melt is included! (Which I love to try out different products)
Kir Royale - £2 Click here to view online.
This melt is one of my favorites from this months box, first off because of how cute its packaging is.. Red paper but has that shimmer of silver speckle throughout... Plus, it's scent is very fruity, sweet and cocktail alcohol reminding smell!
Cherry Slush - £2 Click here to view online.
If you guys didn't already know, I'm a huge lover for the CIRCUS scents from Flamingo Candles already but I haven't smelt this one prior to receiving this months box. It's scent is as strong and outstanding as the other CIRCUS melts I've used in the past, but it is very fruity with a twist of icy sugar.
Acai Berry - Melt Crowd Preview
When I saw this melt, it instantly reminded me of anti-valentines theme. It's scent is pretty hard to determined if I must admit, it reminds me of a sweet fruity smell overpowering with a red cherry scent.
Pink Lemonade - £2 Click here to view online.
This melt is again very innocent and fresh smelling that's packed of a fruity, sugary strawberry scent. Which has a sweet twist of lemon reminding me of exactly how homemade pink lemonade is made in the summer season!
Espresso - Melt Crowd Preview
I must admit, I love this melt its by far a new favorite & I cannot wait for it to arrive in store because I defiantly need to add a jar of this to my collection! It's scent is packed of coffee sugary chocolate like smell which is very strong and fills the whole room very fast!
Bamboo & White Grapefruit - Melt Crowd Exclusive
I love this melt, and is another I'm excited to see arrive soon to the company! It's scent is very strong and easily detectable, reminding me of fresh, clean, outdoor tropical fruits that just instantly makes me relax!
Rose - Melt Crowd Exclusive
This melt scent is very pure and innocent, plus it's pretty much the title. It's very floral and "rose" scented but isn't too overpowering.
Love Bug 2 Hearts - £2 Click here to view them online.
I love love love the smell of these products! They are very fruity and sweet reminding me a lot of the strawberry cherry cocktails or very powerful tasty perfume. Plus you only need to place ONE of these in your burn for instantly fast melting and super strong scent filling the whole room! Two for the price of one in my opinion :-)
Overall, I am in love with this months box and have fallen for a few of the candles which I can see me buying again soon. That's one thing I do love about this subscription, you never know what to expect! Plus it's an easier and more suitable option to try out new, exclusive and regular scents! Let me know in the comments if you'r already a member? What your favorites are? Or what would you like to try x
Hey guys! So a few weeks ago when Lush's new Unicorn Horn came to store for the Valentines range I rushed down to my local store to pick one up. Personally because I haven't ever tried one of these before and just needed to add to my collection! First off I was 100% shocked by the price retailing at £4.25 as I was expecting it to be a little lower (About £3.50). Anyway... As it's a bubble bar I did expect to get ad-least two uses out of this which satisfied me enough to make a purchase!
When I saw the product in person, I loved the colours and glitter sparkle it had to it! Although I did notice it was very "hard" and not as soft, which did become an issue when I came to using it. Usually, with any bubble bars.. I break them in half enough for two baths, but with this Unicorn Horn I did struggle to break it evenly in half.. (When I finally managed to break it), I crumbled under the warm running bath water which was also a struggle with the stiff product. But the colours turned the water into a light pinky colour with a sparkle of glitter, the other major downside was I noticed the lack of bubbles and colour which forced me to use the whole product in one bath.
Overall, I was disappointed with the product, the fact I had to use the whole product, the price and how solid the product was making it difficult to break up and crumble. Let me know below if you've used this lush product before? Did you have these issues?X
Hey guys! So over the Christmas period (which seems so far away already) I was given this gorgeous 7 piece bare minerals collection set as a gift off my mum. I want to start by saying how much I love this set, purely because all the products are items I would use for an everyday makeup look. Plus they are all in a limited edition packaging / each product lid is unique compared to the usual bare minerals foundation lid etc... A perfect starter kit to an everyday look a girl could ask for selling at £57 + P&P on QVC here.
So whats included?
1. Original SPF Foundation 8g - RRP £26, Click here to view product online.
Now I already use this foundation and I purely love it! It gives a good coverage even with breakouts or blemishes, or even red skin... It never makes my skin get irritated, breakout more or even get more dry/oily. Plus you only need a small amount in the lid to complete your whole face look! (For reference, I got the colour fairly light N10 as I'm porcelain pale!)
2. Chandelight Glow Illuminator 10g - Limited edition
I must admit, I have fallen for this product its more like a rouge gel type and comes in a large size compact with a mirror inside! It's pinky tone is easy to apply on the apples of your cheeks with brush or finger! And looks 100% natural and not too heavy or dark (which makes me love it the most!), plus with the product like a gel it can easily be applied on your eyelids for matching makeup finish which I just love even more! I can honestly say I would 100% invest in this product again.
3. Loose Blush 0.85g (Sweet Romance) - RRP £20, Click here to view product online.
With most blushes, this is a powdered one and is a very good average size tub! There isn't too much I can honestly say about this product as I much prefer using the illuminator but is easy to apply and another blush to add to my collection!
4. Loose Eye Colour (Nightfall) - Limited edition
Now when I first saw this product, I was slightly worried by the size I honestly did expect it to be a large tub with more product... The colour is very dark glitter toned but I can honestly say it shocked me! I used the smallest amount on my brush (without even using an eye primer), and it applied all over my lid with good coverage and colour! It's perfect for winter looks or even for nights out!
5. Lasting Line Long-Wearing Eyeliner 0.35g (Forever Brandy) - RRP £15, Click here to view product online.
This liner is so easy to use its crazy! The main factor I love about this is that you can draw a fine thin dramatic line.. Or use the angled smudge tip on the other side to blend out and get a smoother more lighter finish..
6. Lash Domination Mascara 11m - RRP £18, Click here to view product online.
At first when I saw this product I was unsure what to expect... The tube itself was pretty thick and wide, when I saw the brush with a twisted and unusual looking tip (first I have ever seen with this style) I knew it would instantly not get thick and blotch up. When I applied I instantly didn't have to worry about my lashes sticking together, too thick for one area.. It applied easily, and evenly! With a very natural thin finish (I love using this when I'm just running out to a local store or somewhere with a light weight finish look).
7. Marvelous Moxie Buttercream Lipgloss 4.5ml (Sassy Sobert) - RRP £16, Click here to view the product online.
If you guys didn't already know, I'm a huge lover for bare minerals lip glosses they just make me feel complete! The thing I love most about this one is it's smooth soft texture that instantly hydrates my lips making them feel tasty. The colour itself is more of a darker pink and just fits perfectly with pinky colours! A huge lover for this product and would 10000% rebuy this when I run out!
Overall I love this collection, all the colours go perfect together and its all the required elements a girl would need for a perfect everyday look. My most favorite would be either the foundation, Illuminator or lipgloss! Let me know if any of you use bare minerals products & what your thoughts are below?X
Hey guys! Just a quick post today about February's issue of Glamour Magazine, which this month I feel is more 'fall' themed than winter which will still are in. One thing a lot of people look for is freebies right?! Well this month there isn't all that many, in fact whats included is; Channel sample, Tresemme sample & a graze coupon (which are always included in the Glamour magazines in case you never knew!). Now personally, I love the samples included as you can usually use them for 2 days... But I always struggle when it comes to foundation or BB colors as I'm so porcelain pale skinned...
One thing I did love about this months magazine was it included a lot of jewelry and wearable products throughout... Which I loved to read and mark down which I would wear, or want! Plus there was a big feature page on sportswear which I thought was pretty clever as most people will still have a 'New Years Resolution' to keep fit! Plus the coloring flowed great with the 'Winter' season and just made it so eye catching.
Thank you for reading (sorry it was short guys I've been busy with assignments!) x
