Review // Lush Candy Mountain

Lush Candy Mountain

Before I start I just want to apologies for the fact that this was a limited edition product for Christmas but I just really wanted to review it! A great dupe for this is the permanent Creamy Candy bubble bar and the scent is very similar to the Rock Star soap! Back to the review, this has to be one of my favorite products that Lush came out with this year over the festive season, it's the perfect girly bubble bath with a sweet vanilla scent that isn't too sickly. Inspired by one of Lush's best sellers, Snow Fairy, this pink and cream glitter bubble bar is guaranteed to make you feel like a little girl again! I find the bubble bars are most effective when crumbled underneath the tap, this produces the best lather.

Sorry for the poor image the lighting in the bathroom isn't great! However it gives an idea of what it looked like in the bath, lots of bubbles and lots of shimmer on a sweet pink coloured bath. The scent is one of my favorites, I love all things sweet smelling and this defiantly did it for me and for £2.85 it didn't break the bank either. Overall a great bubble bar however I'm gutted that it was only a special edition, lets hope it makes a come back at the end of the year! Have you tried this product? Or if not what's your favorite lush product?

review // Urban Decay Naked Basics

Hey guys, 
Cue scream! I got it! Finally! An Urban Decay pallet I can call my own! I am in love, I've been trying to create so many looks with this bad boy since I brought it about 2 weeks ago. Basically (if you'll pardon the pun) I remembered that my Aunt and Uncle gave me and £20 Debenhams voucher so after patrolling the Urban Decay counter for about a day I decided on this little pallet. I had heard so many good things about it and it just seemed to be a staple in so many people's collections so I thought i'd give it a swing. I took just a few photos of my new baby ...

Sorry for the poor swatches in real life they were much stronger but I really couldn't get them to show up that well on my camera god knows why?! I love using Venus as a highlight in the corner of my eyes or on my brow bone and Crave is brilliant for doing black eyeliner without it being to harsh. All the other colour's are just generally really great for creating very natural looks that anyone could pull of as casual looks. I really recommend this pallet the quality of the shadows is just unbelievable and for only £20 (which is roughly £3.33 a shade! bargain!). Seriously if your sat there thinking maybe maybe not then go, go and buy this product now! okay! As you can tell I love this pallet but i'd love to know whether any of you have tried it? and if so did you love it like me?

haul // I can't stop.

 Hey guys, 

As you can probably guess I've been hauling again. I don't mean too I just can't help myself. As we speak I have another Lush parcel to pick up at the mail bank place. I love buying things and last Saturday was no exception as you can see I got a few beauty related things. I also got a few other bits and pieces but they are not exciting the only thing missing from this picture that I wish I'd have snapped a photo of was some hair dye I picked up from superdrug. If you're interested it's the Garnier Nutriesse in Iced Coffee. So lets see what else I picked up!

 Boots

The first place I went was to the shop were normally I commit the most sin, yes that's right boots, I just want it all! But I managed to somehow convince myself that I only came in for an eyeliner. Surprisingly I only left with the Collection Extreme 24 Hour Felt Tip Liner and the Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in Honey. That's only TWO things! Yay! The only reason I did pick up the balm was because Revlon have an offer where they are only a fiver atm so hurry up and get your's; I'm so glad I got mine and it shall be reviewed.

Lush

My latest place where money has no value it Lush, this shop just makes me want to buy everything and anything even if I don't really need it! The staff there are just so lovely and great too you, I find it's just so hard to say no to them. So I ended up leaving with The Comforter (I get the hype.), Dragons Egg, Ickle Baby Bot, Eau Roma Water Toner Water and an Emotional Brilliance in Focus. Yep that's it. But I also have one little treat on its way to me in the post so stay tuned ;). All three bath products should have full reviews up soon but so far they have all been brilliant and I just want more! I brought the Emotional Brilliance due to that big sticker of 50%. This sort of thing never happens and I just had to snap one up. The lady in there read my colors and this was one of the colors, I just had to have it purely because it's so versatile  It's mean't to be use as an eye shadow but also I can put it my hair as a non-permanent dip dye! I brought the toner because i'd heard so many good things about it and well I sort of needed one too.  

 Debenhams

The final place I went was good 'old Debenhams I was wondering around the Benefit-bareMinerals-Urban Decay area when I spotted this and I had to have it. It's the Scene Stealer by bareMinerals at only £13.00 that's about £3.25 a product! Very cray! Anyway in this little box of joy is a black eyeliner, prime time eye shadow, a pretty amazing lip gloss and an eye make-up remover. All the colors are really wearable (no crazy ones in there or end of lines). It's a really lovely gift set. I ended up only paying £3 for this because I had a £10 voucher of my granddad for Christmas so thanks granddad! I'm so glad I found this treasure and it just makes me want to buy more of there products, a full review will be up in the next few weeks! 

What are your recent purchases? Found any gold in the sale? Let us know!

review // Benefit Perfume

 
 

Hey guys, 

So I've been reading a lot of 'what I got for Christmas posts' I love reading them and I see them in no way as bragging or showing off. I love seeing what people got just because i'm super nosy  However I am too lazy to round all my presents back up and do my own post so instead I plan on just doing a few beauty things I got for Christmas and this is one. My mum, for Christmas got me this lovely set called 'Crescent Row' by Benefit which consists of 4 perfumes in 10ml sizes in the smells Laugh with me LeeLee, My place or yours Gina, Ring my Bella and Be seen Sasha. All of which are very different, I love the fact that I can try out all four scents instead of having to risk buying the full size. I really like changing my perfume because I find I can get bored of the same smell all the time. The only downside to Benefit perfumes is that they are not spray or pump applicators you have to dabble it onto your neck or wrists. Besides that all four are lovely smells that all have a different aroma and I can't wait to try them all out! 

Have you tried any perfumes out of this set? Do you have a personal favorite? Let us know!

haul // Last minuet haul form Boots and Superdrug

Hey guys, so I had a little pre-Christmas haul but for some reason that I can not justify I'm only just putting it up but hey ho that's me all over. Anyways on 22nd December I popped out into good 'old Leam to pick up some last minuet bits before I went to a party (I had more fun doing my make-up than the actually party. lol not fun.) Anyways I wanted to have a little mooch and I managed to pick up a few bits so lets have a little look and see what I got!

So the first thing I picked up is hidden in the background of this photo and it is one of the most expensive things I picked up. Anyways its the L'Oreal Super Liner Gel Intense. Basically a black gel liner, I really wanted to get one of these since I first saw them and finally managed to pick one up. It is amazing to apply and sits really well. The pot looks really small but a little defiantly goes a long way. The next thing I picked up  was the L'Oreal Color Riche Intense Lipstick (I'm not sure of the name) in the shade Burning Rose 286. This a red lipstick with pink undertones and a hint of shimmer. It's absolutely lush and I wish I had more excuses to wear this color! Another thing I picked up from Superdrug (the rest was/is from Boots) was the Collection Bedazzle Nail Polish in Tea at Glitz. This is a gold glitter polish with little black sparkly bits in too! It looks amazing over Nails Inc Motcomb Street. 

 The final thing I brought was the L'Oreal True Match Powder in the shade C1 ( I think the lightest they do?) . It's a lovely press powder that works with my No7 foundation amazingly and leaves my face with a nice matte look, preventing me from looking oily. Like it says on the tin it is a true match and I have finally found a powder that matches my skin! See that black box lurking in the background, that's the FREE gift I got for spending over £15/£16 on L'Oreal products! Eeek it's so lovely but I shall be mentioning it in another post so until then i'm to mention no more of it ;). So that's the end of my haul, have you brought anything from said stores recently? If so let us know!
