Hey guys, as you all probably know I am a huge fan of lush and I have been for ages, so today I am going to be doing a brand focus on lush. I will be reviewing my favourite products and hopefully give you some advice on which ones I think smell the best. Hope you enjoy. xx (sorry for no pictures) :(
 
The first product is the Comforter bubble bar which I talk about a lot but for those of you who are interested it smells of berries and is pink and white swirled. I usually get 4-5 baths out of this. I usually crumble in about a quarter but sometimes I don't crumble that much in so I might get more baths out of it. The Comforter is £4.50 but I think it is definitely worth it as it is slightly more expensive than other bubble bars but it is a lot bigger than most.
 
The next product is a limited edition Christmas product and its called Peeping Santa. This is again a bubble bar but this one has 2 sections to it. It looks a little bit like a strawberry with cream in the middle but is also designed to look like a santa hat with white in the middle and the cutest little bed. This is a fruity scent with bergamot and geranium oil in it so it makes your skin really soft. I get 3 baths out of it so it's one of normal size bubble bar. It is £3.95
 
Another product I love from lush is Yoga bomb. This is a bath bomb I love. This has recently been released from the Oxford street store and I was very excited to buy and use this. Obviously you can only get one bath out of it as it is a bath bomb so you put it in whole. It is £3.95 and has a wonderful woody smell.
 
I also love The Comforter shower cream which is obviously the same scent as the bubble bar but it is a shower gel. It come is 4 sizes and smells amazing!!!
 
The final product I will be sharing with you is milky bath bubble bar. This was also an oxford street product until recently but it is now in every store. It is really moisturizing as it has skimmed milk in it. The lovely people at lush told me that it is their most moisturizing bubble bar. It is £3.75 and lasts for3-4 baths depending on how much you put in.

Thanks so much for reading

Hey guys, so today I am going to be doing the lip product tag which I saw Estée do. Hope you enjoy.

1- Favourite balm/treatment?
My favourite lip balm is probably the Body Shop Born Lippy in the scent Pink Berry. I haven't mentioned this before and I don't know way because it's amazing. I use this twice a day and it makes lips really soft and stops them from chapping.

2-Best Red?
I don't really have a traditional red lipstick but I do like the Revlon lip butter in 096 macaroon. This is a gorgeous red with a bit of pink so it is perfect all year round. I definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a moisturizing low maintenance red.

3- Best MAC lipstick?
Definitely Plumful and I did a whole post about it here.

4- Liner Yes or No
I am going to have to say no as I don't use l use lip liner.

5- Favourite Gloss
Definitely the Tanya Burr ones - I have to from the old range in the shades first date and Aurora. The lip glosses aren't sticky and have great colour pay off.

Sorry I didn't do all the questions but I hoped you enjoyed it anyway.

Hey guys, I know I mention this lipstick a lot but I thought I would do a detailed full review of it. Hope you enjoy. xxxx
Plumful is a Lustre lipstick from MAC and it was £15.50 (like all MAC lipsticks). It is a beautiful berry/red perfect for autumn/winter. I have been using this lipstick since the end of August and it hasn't gone down much at all.  Generally it lasts all day and doesn't really loose that much colour after eating/drinking. I use this most days because it makes my lips really soft. I do recommend using a lip scrub and balm before putting it on as other it gathers in any chapped parts of your lips.





As you can tell from the swatch it's a berry toned lipstick but also has a little bit of red and purple. You can build up the colour to make it more of a purple shade but you can also apply it lightly to make it more of a red berry shade. I sometimes but a matte lipstick underneath to make it less shiny as it is quite a shiny normally.

Hey guys, today I will be sharing with you the things I always use on a pamper night. Hope you enjoy.xx
 
1- The Comforter
If you didn't know already I am a huge Lush fan and my favourite bubble bar from Lush is The Comforter. I always use this on a pamper night and make sure I always have one in my lush collection. I mentioned more about what it smells like in my favourite lush products so click here to find out more.
 2- Face masks
 I love using face mask on pamper night because I think they are really fun and actually are good for your skin. I like to use the Simply Sensitive Deep Cleansing Face Mask as I find it helps reduce spots and makes your pores really small. I always mention these in skincare routines if you want to find out more about the mask.
 3- Body Butter
I use body butter most days but I always put it on when I am having a pamper evening as I feel like it makes your skin feel really soft ( and it makes it smell nice too). I like to use the Soap & Glory Sugar Crush Body Buttercream but I really want to try the Zoella Beauty ones so if you have used them let me know if they're good.
 4-Hot Chocolate
Even though I only drink hot chocolate on pamper evenings in winter I thought i would still include it. I have the Cadburys or Galaxy hot chocolate with marshmallow but if you have tried any other nice hot chocolates please tell me it's name.
 
5- Youtube
I love youtube and watch it nearly everyday but on pamper evenings I like to catch up on the Sacconejolys vlogs.
 
Thanks so much for reading

Hey guys, recently I started using some new skincare products so I wanted to share with you my new skincare routine. Hope you enjoy. xxx
 
So first I use the Nivea 3 in 1 micellar cleansing water. I use this to take my make up off and also cleanse my skin. I just tip a little bit onto a cotton pad and wipe it across my face. I used to face wipes a lot of the time and this is as easy as face wipes but is so much better for your skin.

 
I then use the Simply Sensitive hydrating moisturiser and I think I mentioned this in my last skincare post so click here to see what I said about it.

 
 I then use the Palmers Cocoa butter formula moisturiser on my cheeks. This reduces redness as well as hydrating them. I don't put this all over my face as it makes it quite greasy.



Then finally, I use the Superdrug action spot stick. This is so good and stops any spots.


Thanks so much for reading.

Hi everyone, as today is November 1st I thought I would share with you what I loved in October. Hope you enjoy.xxx
 
The first thing I have been loving is actually blogging! Over October you guys have supported me so much so that made me want to blog even more so (even though I decreased my upload days).
 
The next thing I have been loving in the smashbox full exposure ( I did a first impressions HERE). This mascara gives you a natural but also quite doll eyes effect.
 
A skincare product I have been loving is the Superdrug tea tree action spot stick. Basically, you put this on any spots and spot prone areas to prevent spots or get rid of them.
 
 
A lipstick I have been loving is the Kiko deco delight in the shade 02. It is a gorgeous pink tone but also has a bit of a red tone in it.
 
I know I have mentioned this a lot this month but I thought I would include it anyway - it is the Smashbox eyeshadow trio in the shade screen shot. (a first impressions here and a look using it here). The shades last for nearly whole day without creasing.
 
A hair product I have been loving is the Vo5 heat protect styling spray. I spray this on wet hair before I dry it and it keeps my hair really glossy and stops any heat damage.
 
 
 2 blogs I have been loving are Tips Capsule and Snapsn' pixels
 
Tips Capsule
Snaps and pixels
 
The final thing I have been loving is Halloween which was yesterday. By the way happy belated Halloween.
 
Love Lou
