Hey guys, as you all probably now, I am a huge Lush fan so today I thought I would share with you my top 5 bubble bars. Hope you enjoy. xx

1- The Comforter

You guys probably guessed this would be in my top 5 as I mention this a lot but it's so good!! It smells like berries so it is quite an all year round scent - I always make sure I have at least 1 in my collection. The Comforter is an all year product and isn't limited to a certain time of the year. It is also one of the larger bubble bars and I get 4 to 5 baths out of it and compared to other bubble bars that is quite a lot. It's £4.95 and a lot of people say it is over-priced but I think it is definitely worth it.

2- Milky Bath

I also mention this product a lot but I am still really excited about it. In about August some of the products from the Lush on Oxford Street in London were released into all the lush stores and this was one of them. It is one of Lush's most moisturizing bubble bars and it actually contains milk! However as it is so milky it is hard to crumble and it all sticks together but once you have got the knack of it it's actually quite easy. This one is £3.75 and it lasts about 3/4 baths.

3- Brightside

I don't think i have mentioned this before but it is quite similar to The Comforter as it has the same design - swirled but in different colours. However, this one smells of oranges and all the bubble bars in this design smell quite fruity. Again this isn't a limited edition product and is £4.95 the same as The Comforter and lasts the same amount of time as The Comforter.

4- Magic Wand

This product however, is a limited edition product. This product comes out with the Christmas range each year. It is a pink and silver glittery wand that you swirl in the bath whilst it's running and it smells like snow fairy. I get 7 or 8 baths out of it so it is definitely worth the £5.25 it costs. It also has a little bell attached to ribbon which is tied onto the stick but obviously if you find these annoying whilst swirling it in the bath you can just un-tie the ribbon to take it off.

5- Pop in the Bath

This bubble bar is an all year round product and it isn't limited edition. Recently, when the new products were released this one was re-released with a new formula and colour. A lot of people didn't like this and they complained that the colours looked too fake. Personally, this didn't bother me as it was still the same product and if anything it made your bath look nicer. This is one of the slightly smaller bubble bars as it lasts me about 3 baths but it is also a slightly cheaper bubble bar as it is £3.45.

I hope you all had a lovely Christmas and I am now back to my usual post days - Wednesday, Friday and Sunday. I hope you all enjoyed this and I will see you very son.
Love Lou

Hey guys, I have seen this challenge floating around the internet so I thought I would give it a go. I am however, putting a twist on things - I have never used these products so I can discover new products as well as you. This does mean that there will be no photos but I hope you enjoy it anyway.xxx

1- Bourjois Magic Nail Polish Remover

Some of you may be surprised that I have never used this - but I definitely want to. Basically it claims to remove nail varnish in 1 second. Although it may not quite be one second everyone who has used it says it takes of nail varnish really quickly and they wouldn't go back to using normal cotton wool and nail varnish remover. Basically, this is a little pot and you put a finger in and leave it in for a few seconds. Then when you take it out all your nail varnish should be removed. This is just under the budget - £4.99.

2- Collection Divine Lash Mascara

This mascara comes in 2 types -waterproof and regular - and both are under budget. The regular is £3.99 and the waterproof is £4.99. This mascara claims to give your lashes a fluttery / false lash effect in 1 coat. This mascara would be great if you are just starting out in make-up as this is a really affordable mascara and all collection mascaras I have tried have been really good. Collection also claim that it is really highly pigmented and won't loose colour through-out the day so this would be good for someone at school/uni as you wont need to bother taking it with you as you can just apply it in the morning.

3- Maybelline Colour Drama Lipstick

This lipstick comes in 10 shades varying from nudes to pinks to reds. Maybelline says it is a slim lip kohl that makes your lips pop with a creamy texture. One review said that the application head is nice and big so they are easy to apply but the whole product is slim enough to fit into a handbag zip pocket to re-apply after drinks as it doesn't last very long whilst drinking but lasts long on a day to day basis. All reviews say it is great value for £4.99 and it is really highly pigmented.

4- Smashbox Full exposure mini eyeshadow duo

I was really shocked to see this come in after all the filters I put on the search on the boots website. Smashbox is definitely more of a pricey brand so I was amazed at this only being £5. It contains the shades m3 and m5 from the full exposure palette so it gives you a little sample of what the palette may be like if you are interested in purchasing it. There is 1 shimmer shade and 1 matte shade. This would be a great product for travelling as it is a mini but you could also create quite a few looks with it. I will definitely be purchasing this next time I am near a smashbox counter.

5- Rimmel Vinyl Lip Gloss

This lip gloss is just under budget - £4.99. This would be a great product if you are on the hunt for a good quality drugstore lip product. They come in 12 shades so you have a lot of choices to pick from. Rimmel claim that after it had a formula change it is now 80% shinier than it was before so it is definitely more shiny than other glosses. If you are not looking for a super super shiny gloss I don't recommend it as from the description I think it might be a little to shiny but definitely check it out anyway.

Thanks so much for reading and your continual support. Also let me know if you have tried any of these products.

Hey guys, some of you may be doing a secret santa with friends or family. So, I thought I would share with you some little bits and pieces you could get as part of your secret santa gift. Yesterday I also did a DIY/last minute Christmas gifts so click HERE to check it out. Hope you enjoy. xxx

Beauty:

The first thing you could get is the Maybelline Baby Lips. These come in 4 ranges - Original, Electro, Dr Rescue and Vitamin. They are all quite pigmented but not too pigmented so they would be great for someone who is still at school. These are also quite cheap so they would be great as a little extra to a gift. (£2.99 all ranges except Dr Rescue. Dr Rescue £3.49).

Baby Lips Hydrate - Original range

The next make-up related thing is the Tanya Burr Hollywood palette. This contains 4 shades (Nude Delight, Gold Coin , Enchantment and Bookworm) which are all really pigmented. They are all shimmer shades and Enchantment is super super glittery. All the shades are nudes which are my favourites and it's £5.99.

Hollywood palette

The final make-up related item is Real Techniques 1406 Starter Set. This contains 5 brushes - deluxe crease brush, base shadow brush, accent brush, fine liner brush and brow brush- and they all come in a case so when you travel you don't need to try and find a make-up bag to put them in. The set is £21.99 and is available at boots.

Bath/Body:

The first thing is from Lush (surprise,suprise) and it's the Comforter. This is my all time favourite lush product and it smells like berries. Review HERE.

The Comforter

The next thing is the Zoella Candy Cream body lotion. This is from the Tutti Frutti range. This is a kinda standard body lotion but it has little moisture bubbles (is that a thing?!?!). Anyway it's kind of like once you start to rub it in they explode and make your skin really soft. This is available in superdrug stores and online and it is also available at feelunique.

The next thing you could get is the Soap and Glory Soaprise. These are 6 crackers which each contains 1 of each shower gel - Foam Call, Rich and Foamous, Sugar Crush, Clean On Me, Orangeasm and Clean Girls. They all come in a mini size so these would be perfect for travelling. They are £16 so you could buy this as a main present.

Fragrance:

I am only going to include 1 scent as most scents are quite expensive. I use the Soap&Glory body sprays a lot so I thought that I would include these. These come in 7 scents. They are : Smoothie Star, Fruitigo, Orangeasm, Original Pink, Mist You Madly, Sugar Crush and Girligo. They all come in 1 size (100 ml) and Mist You Madly comes in 2 sizes (250 ml and 100 ml). All 100ml are £4 and the 250ml is £6.50.
