LUSH !!!

Hey all you LUSH lovers!

wellll i am a huge lush lover myself and i am constantly buying bath bombs and jelly shower products

buttttt this time i thought i would try some of their skin care products, 

i myself have very dry skin so i asked the adviser which product they would consider best for my skin 

she was very helpful and even demonstrated the products on my hands sooooo here we go......

Firstly i purchased 

AQUA MARINA cleanser - this product was inspired by mermaids and has calamine and Irish moss gel it cleanses, soothes and moisturises all skin types

My first impression of this product when i was browsing was that is isn't very nice to look at, and i was adamant that nothing with green bits in was touching my face, but hey after a demonstration i was sold! 

This tub itself i purchased for £5.85 for 100g and if i use the recommended amount then it should last me 3 months, so i shall be keeping track on how long this product lasts :) 

After using AQUA MARINA my skin felt really hydrated and dewy 

which is never a bad thing, i would highly recommend this cleanser to everyone and all skin types.

Secondly as i have mentioned i have dry skin so i needed a deeply hydrating moisturiser i was recommended several different moisturisers but as my skin can sometimes be sensitive CELESTIAL was the one for me, CELESTIAL is a heavenly moisturiser for sensitive skin is has vanilla, almond milk and dove orchid which will soften and calm easily irritated skin :) this product i purchased for £10.85 for 45g which is alot less the cleanser but i have been informed that you don't need to use very much product as a small amount does go far which always makes me smile ha! since buying this a week ago i have been using this religiously morning and night and i have noticed that my skin stays hydrated for alot longer! 

Next is a product i never even knew existed but here goes 'LIP SCRUB' this product amazes me, this is a sugar scrub which you apply using your fingers and then remove by licking off, sounds strange at first but there are 3 different flavours choc, mint and bubblegum, i went for the bubblegum. this i cannot get enough of, after the winter months everyone is getting rid of their colds and all of us at some point cannot get enough of lip balms well, this is the solution to dry cracked lips, go treat yourself! :) 

Shout out to LUSH, the amazing this about lush products is that they are all handmade and contain a very small if any amount of preservatives which can allow skin to dry up, this means the products are better for your skin and do the job they should :) 

Hope these first impressions and reviews help you all with you purchases, let me know what you've recently bought in the comments box

Mini Haul And Reviews :)

Hey Guys 

Ok so yep i went a bit crazy in the cosmetics department :/ but never mind my makeup makes me smile :D 

here is my haul of the month, 

okay here we go my haul consists of

"that gal" Brightening face primer by benefit

"You glow girl solar powder" by Soap & Glory

"lemon Aid" by Colour correcting Eyelid primer

"Medium Concealer" by Babara Daly

"miss Popularity"Precision Highlighter for eyes and face by benefit

"superfine liner for brows" in soft brown 02 by Clinique

"Moisture Renew Lipstick" in Rose Passion by Rimmel 

"Speed Brow" Quick set brow gel by benefit

"Lip Gloss" In buff 4 by Bobbi Brown 

and lastly 

"Bottom Lash Mascara" In 01 black by Clinique

so yep i went mad :) but hey I'm happy 

i shall write and review these products in the order i have listed above 

sooo firstly "That gal" Brightening Face Primer 

<<< OK so this product does brighten my face and i have even been finding myself wearing it alone without the need for foundation as it gave my face a lovely glow so i definitely recommend this product for purchase and i am looking forward to using this on hot summer days :) 

Next we move on to "You Glow Girl" OK this product was in a set that i received at Christmas but i 

have only just used it so therefore here it is 

 i myself am usually not a huge fan of bronzers but this give such a natural glow and doesn't look so fake that i am instantly in love with it, the powder is so fine so doesn't feel thick and cake like one applied

Okay so next is "lemon aid and Medium Concealer 

Lemon aid By benefit does exactly what it says and corrects the lid pigmentation but i find this product to be slightly oily and having to wait longer than expected before putting shadows on top, i have tried putting less product on but i still find it leaving my eyes a bit oily so not my fave product but it may work better on someone who may have dryer eye lids than myself 

Medium Concealer by Babara Daly this product is very impressive for its very small price, this concealer was under 5 pounds and it hides every blemish i wish to cover, i have bought more than one of these and i have found this product to be a great addition to my professional kit! very happy results :) 

"Miss Popularity" by benefit

This Product is an amazing highlighter as you can see from the swatch but i personally could not use this as a day to day make up look as it would too intense i think this is perfect for evenings and nights on the town hah :) 

Clinique super fine liner for brows in 02 soft brown, 

i cannot get a good enough photo of this product as the pencil itself is so slender and just gets lost in the photo, this pencil is alot darker once applied to brows that i expected it to be, but its not too much of a problem for myself as i am a fan of dark brows so advise for future shoppers swatch it properly :) ha don't waste your pennies on buying incorrect colours :) 

Rimmel Moisture Renew Lipstick, this lipstick is very in season right now as its coral but pink at the very same time :)

I do realise that on this photo it does appear very red like but fear not when you see it for real it is a medium of coral and pink perfect for this season

Benefit Speed Brow, I have recently reshaped my brows so yep this product was necessary! I recently tested this on a night out as i have quite stubborn brow hairs which point wherever they wish to, so this is perfect for me i no longer have to carry a brow brush around in my bag as this will set them till i remove my makeup at nightHappy days :) 

Bobbi Brown Lip Gloss in Buff 4

I myself am a huge fan of Bobbi brown lip glosses as i love the sheen you get from them, this colour is a lovely nude brown and it is unlike many other lip glosses by other brands this gloss is not sticky and isn't hard work to wear it also  looks stunning over rose passion by Rimmel which if your lucky i may swatch at the end of this post :) 

Last and Most definitely not least is 

Clinique Bottom Lash Mascara

This wand has been created specially for bottom lashes and it works 

amazingly, with the brush itself being so tiny it allows you to work each lash exactly how you want them to be, i personally have a problem with my bottom mascara smudging underneath my eye and end with a constant smoky eye, this mascara when on does not smudge or drop off the eyelashes and is by far my best buy  :) 

And as promised Rimmel Rose Passion with Bobbi Brown Buff over 

OK that's enough from me coming next will be my fortnightly Something i Love Sunday :) 

Thanks :)

Something I Love Sunday :)

Hey!! 

This is something new I've decided to do, every Sunday i shall blog about something i am loving 

this week, sooo this week my ultimate product just has to be.....

The Daily Smooth Body Butter

With Rosehip seed oil and Cocoa butter

by Soap&Glory 

Ahhhhh I love it!

okay so this is what the bottle says, 

"DO or DRY"

"Amazingly-Effective Dry Skin Formula"

"Perennially flaky woman swaps weekly sessions with motivation coach for The Daily Smooth"

okay that's the main slogans there are alot more written on but i would be here all night, so yep as long as you have the important bits :) 

well now for my opinion....

I myself am usually not a fan of the scent of body butters how ever, this smells like nothing else i have used before, its very sweet but fruity at the very same time, leaves my skin smelling lush!!

i find it is so nice to massage into my skin and it absorbs lovely! 

my only dislike is that the bottle is just not big enough!! i wish it came in a huge tub!! 

this product i received as Christmas present gift set, so i haven't purchased any myself yet, but it retails at £5.62 from boots stores, which considering how long it is lasting me i personally think isn't too steep!! 

Okay Thats all for My Something I Love Sunday,
