Christmas at lush!

Hello! I'm sure most of you will know, but earlier this month lush released there christmas stock! This was VERY exciting for me as my favourite two things are christmas and baths. Combined, I have no words. 
If you can handle going into a lush shop then you may no the scents yoursef, but if you can't then I will tell you what they smell of so you can do a bit of sneaky online shopping. :)


Bubble time!!

Magic Wand: Snow fairy scent, but less strong. Smells of sugar and sweets. Stir around your bath for beautiful, light, fluffy bubbles.

Candy mountain: Again snow fairy, but quite powerful. Break a piece off and crumble under a running tap. It feels like your in a pink bath of sweeties. 

Christmas Eve: I know, everyone tries to save this for Christmas Eve, but it's hard, mines normally finished by mid November. Smells quite florally with a hint of christmas spice. 

Melting baths!!

Star light, star bright: A VERY glittery star that makes your skin unbelievably soft! Urhh I want to use it now. Smells of lovely wintery oranges. Sooo good!

Melting snowman: Legit, smells of christmas, and it has chocolate buttons on, so..... . If you get hungry in the bath?

Bath Explosions!!

Shoot for the stars: Turns your bath every colour imaginable and smells of flowers (best way to describe it)

Dashing santa: Smells yummy and spicy and Christmassy and looks sooo cool.

Father Christmas: One of my all time fave bath bombs. Smells quite like snow fairy and is pink inside so looks amazing in the bath.

Luxury lush pud: Yes you have all heard of it. Has little pockets of colour in that makes swirls of different beautiful colours floating around your bath. Smells of, I can't tell. Everything yummy!

Butterbear: This is so freaking cute. I love him so much. He smells of cocoa and is the most moisturising thing on this planet. 


Shower gel!!

So white: invented because of the best bath bomb in the entire universe, yes you guessed it, it smells of fresh apples. Scrummy!

Hot toddy: Ok, imagine every smell you think of to do with christmas Ta~da! That's what it smells of. Kinda like mulled wine. Mmmmm!

So there you go, this probably was not at all useful as I am the worst at describing anything, but I hope you now know what things I really recommend. 

Love you all and have an amazing halloween!! Hands up if your scared xx

Everyday makeup!

Hello everybody! I'm so sorry in how long it had been since I last blogged, been super busy but I promise it will never happen again. Hope you have all had an amazing October. Aren't the months just flying by? 
I thought I might talk about my everyday makeup as trying to find budget items that really work can sometimes be a toughy, and I have thought long and hard, and personally I think all these products really are amazing!


Firstly, I prime. This is not a step u HAVE to take, but I feel it helps smooth over your skin so it is easier to apply face makeup.

Soap and glory feel good factor.

Next step is to apply foundation. Now, some of you lucky ones might not need to take this step, if so you are saving quite a bit of money. I'm jealous of you. My foundation is a medium coverage. :)

Bourjois healthy mix serum in light vanilla.

Then I conceal my under eye circles and the pesky spots I didn't ask for. Raise a hand if one appears overnight! So I use quite a high coverage concealer.

Bourjois healthy mix concealer (are you sensing a theme?)

Next up powder. Pretty sure this is the best powder I have EVER come across. Oh my word it's amazing. It keeps your makeup right in place all day. Very handy if I say so myself.

Yes you guessed it Rimmel stay matte powder. 

Lastly in the face, just to add a bit of colour I blush and highlight. As I am quite lazy I get an all in one. Whoops. This just brightens up my cheeks and adds a healthy glow. 

Revlon highlighting palette in rose glow.


Eyes now. Firstly I apply eye shadow. Recently I have been loving the Seventeen eye eye crayons. They are slightly shimmery and very easy to apply. All over my lid I apply the crayon in the colour iced. And in my crease I blend in molten metal. 

For my eyeliner I normally put gel eyeliner on top and kohl on my waterline, but sometimes I just use kohl eye liner. I find the Seventeen smoulder gel eye liner is the easiest gel eye liner I've ever tried as sometimes it can be a little tricky to put on and I use the LP kohl eye liner pencil which is very pigmented  so easy to put on the waterline :) 

Mazzy time! (Don't ever say that). Yes very predictable. Maybelline the falsies. I know it's always raved about, but yes! It's worth the hipe. So volumising. OH MY so good! 

Finally lips. :* I go quite basic on these, some days I wear nothing because, just because. But if I a, making an effort I will moisturise my lippy's with Baby lips Hydrate. Then add a bit of burts bees lip shimmer in watermelon, and finish them off with barryM lip gloss.  And perfecto, done!

Sorry this is a lengthy one, but top marks if you've made it down here, making up for no blog in a month, sorry, :(. 

Hope this has given you some tips. I wear very basic makeup as I like to look very natural. Have an amazing day, love you millions xxxxx x
