A Bit Of Lush Loving (Haul)


Hey guys, I hope you are all well! 

I am just going to start this post off by saying sorry I haven't blogged in a while. If I am being honest, I just needed to take a few days off and think up some new blogging ideas. I would love to hear any requests from you guys what you might want me to do a post on. 

Recently, I haven't really been wanting to go shopping as I am trying to save my money... (probably never going to happen). That is until I went into Lush and wanted to by everything. 

So this is my Lush haul, hope you enjoy... 

The first thing I picked up was a Honey Bee bath ballistic - 


Let me just say, this bath bomb smells incredible. It smells like a mixture between honey and vanilla. When I walked into Lush I saw the little sign next to it and at first, I thought I wouldn't like the smell but I was so wrong. This bath bomb is meant to moisturise and cleanse skin. I think I will review these products and share my thoughts with you! I will also say the size of this bath bomb is HUGE so for the price it is really good for the money.  I believe it is priced at £3.35.




Blackberry Bath ballistic. I would say this was an impulse buy, when I got home, I decided i'm not a huge lover of the scent of this bath bomb but hey ho, I am sure I will use it. According to the Lush website it makes you feel relaxed and soothed so we shall see! It smells a little bit like a scented soap? The colour isn't all that exciting but I will see what it turns my bath water like when I use it. Then let you guys know or has anyone used it before and could let me know? I believe the price of this bath bomb is £3.25.


Space Girl bath bomb -

The smell of this bath bomb is insanely good, I could eat it. This is my favourite purchase of the day, that I will say! It genuinely smells like refresher sweets, do they still sell those? I think they do. I am so excited to try this bath bomb out and it was only £2.35, so not that expensive at all. Space Girl is also meant to cleanse and moisturise skin so look out for the reviews! 

The last thing I purchased was this... 

Dragon's Egg bath bomb - 

To be honest, I am still unsure if I like the scent of this bath bomb or not. It is a very sweet scent and I am just a little worried it might get too sickly but I will give it a try. I would say it smells like citrusy sherbet, so normally I would really like the smell but I am unsure. This bath bomb is also extremely big (practically like the size of my head!) I liked the sound of Dragon's Egg so I think realistically I bought it just for the name but oh well! Why not... The price of this bath bomb is £3.35. 

That brings you to the end to this post guys!

Have you tried any of the products mentioned? Feel free to leave in the comments your opinions :) 

Thank you so much for reading,

January Favourites

Can you believe January is already over?! We are now officially in February so my post today is going to be my January Favourites.

Hope you enjoy...


Beauty Favourites - 




My Kiko lipstick in the colour 515 Orchid. 

Personally, when it gets into the colder months I tend to go for darker lip colours. I was always weary of purple toned lipsticks as I really thought they wouldn't suit me. However, I ventured out of my comfort zone and I have seriously fallen in love with this colour and have been wearing this throughout January.  In the swatch picture it does come across quite light but when you apply more than one layer it does become darker.


Skin & Lip care Favourites - 


Nivea Essential Care Lip Balm.

I am sure most of you girls will know that in Winter time our lips get really dry and chapped. Me having very sensitive and dry skin I suffer with chapped lips all year round so you can probably imagine how horrid they get in Winter! No joke, this lip balm has been my life saver. It completely made my lips stay healthy and hydrated throughout November, December and January. This will be in my handbag forever I am sure! 


Now, I am not known to fake tan. I have thought about it in the past but never really did anything as I worried it could cause my skin to react, as my skin is ridiculously sensitive. That is until I was introduced to this product through my best friend Anna. I haven't been using this all over my body but in January I have been going to meals with my family and friends and I have actually been wearing dresses (I know and yes I was freezing). I have been moisturising my legs and arms with this product and I have been loving it. I love the smell of fake tan so it smells good and it basically gives you a natural summer glow.

Perfume Favourite - 


Storm Flower by Cheryl Cole.

Normally in the Wintery season I wear much stronger scents for example, Lady Million by Paco Rabanne. However, since getting this for Christmas I have honestly been loving this throughout January. It is a very sweet scent but I love it! I have been using this everyday, even when I am not going out anywhere I will still give myself a quick spritz to set me up for the day. 

Haircare Favourite -


THIS PRODUCT IS THE BEST PRODUCT EVER. That is the truth. I have been more than loving this product, it makes my hair look so much fuller, healthier and overall better! Recently my hair has been looking really limp and just generally unhappy. This product is also a 'hair' saver and I am sure I will be repurchasing this over and over again. 

Now onto TV Show & Book Favourites - 

For my TV Show favourite I would say it has to be Silent Witness. Silent Witness is (or was as I think the series has just finished) on BBC 1 Yorkshire at 9PM every Monday and Tuesday night. They have like two parts to every story. I think they have three different stories in a series and I have just been seriously loving it! 

Sadly, I don't have a book favourite as I haven't been reading lately which does make me sad but I will start eventually...

That comes to the end of my January Favourites.

Thank you so much for reading and I hope you enjoyed.
