Lush Valentines Day Collection

Hi Guys!

So today I thought I'd share with you some of Lush's newest arrivals - the Valentines Day collection. 

I am so head over heels in love with this collection it's all just so beautiful. I was pretty shocked to realise that when I  was buying these products, that I had in fact NEVER brought the Lush Valentines Day collection before...I know this shocked me too! So this makes it just that little bit more exciting to use all these little luxuries.

First thing I got was the Love Locket Bath Bomb (£6.95)

. Now I did think that was pretty steep for a bath bomb, but when I was talking to one the girls who worked in Lush she explained how because the Locket is so large it can last to up to 2-3 baths,  now this defiantly made me think that the £6.95 was acceptable and inside the Locket is a heart - CUTE!

Next thing I laid eyes on was the Heart Throb Bubble Bar and I will admit it was definitely the gold glitter that drew me in - I mean seriously who can resist glitter?! This little gem was £3.95 and is made with organic shea butter so your skin will go super silky smooth when you use it. It also makes your bath bright red...now I'm not sure about you but I have watched way too many Dexter episodes in my life and when I see a red bath I don't think of a romantic paradise...!

Now once the Heart Throb drew me in with it's slither of gold glitter I was then immediately attracted  to the Lonely Heart Bubble Bar. JUST LOOK HOW MUCH GLITTER THERE IS! 

This Bubble bar is £3.50 and has scents of  lemongrass, bergamot and jasmine - now thats a combination for relaxation. 

Finally I picked up The Kiss Lip Scrub which was £5.50. I'm already a huge fan of the Lush Lip Scrubs so it didn't take much persuading for me to put this beauty into my basket, in fact there was no persuasion needed - I saw it and I brought it. Now the thing that makes this Lip Scrub that little bit better than the rest is the fact that it has Hundreds and Thousands inside the sugar! I know amazing - and of course it's edible. Who ever thought of that idea you are a genius and I love you. 

So guys this is what I picked up from the new Lush Valentines Collection - have you picked anything up?

 

January Wish List

Hi Guys!

So today I thought I'd share with you my January wish list. My reasons for doing this post, well honestly I'm officially broke after the full extent of Christmas, New Year and the New Year Sales and so I'm left to window shop until my next pay day. 

I've had my eye on a few of these things for a little while now so I'm really eager to get my hands on them. 

1. This is probably one of the most beautiful shirts I have ever seen.This one is from River Island and  costs £38 *Yikes!* I do think that it's pretty steep for what it is but I've just fallen head over heels in love. I've also seen this shirt on the Asos Website so I'm kind of hoping they might have a 10% or 20% voucher code coming out soon, it might make the price just that little bit more justifiable.

2. Now I know that soon every blogger and her dog will have this book but for once I want to hop on the band wagon and early! I love watching Tanya's make up videos and vlogs and so well why wouldn't I want to read her book?! Even the front cover just looks SO pretty. 

3. Now I first saw this shirt on Hannah's blog AwayWithTheFairies and she did an amazing style post on it. It looked so perfect and she had styled it so good  just thought - I need that in my life...like now.   The Shirt is from Asos and is £36, again I think it's quite a lot for a shirt but well I'm sure I'll find a way of justifying the spend.  I absolutely love Hannah's style and her blog so if you haven't checked her out i would 10000% recommend you to! 

4. Okay so this really is a new player in the blogger world. The new Bold Metal Collection Real Technique brushes have launched. There has been so much blogger chitter chatter about these bad boys and well I just need to get in on the action. They are a big step up from the original range of brushes with an average price being in the £20 mark, but you'd be happy to pay that for a MAC brush ...right? I really want to get my hands on the 301 flat contour brush - I've been after one for about 6 months now, so I feel like now is the time to splurge out £22 and get a decent one!

5. The LOreal Paris La Palette.  I know I'm pretty slow on wanting this palette, but when it first came out it just didn't grab my attention at all - I know strange! But as time has gone on I've sort of found my self being drawn to it every time I'm in Boots. I've read mixed reviews on it so I guess I just want to try it for myself. For £15 I don't think it's that bad of a price,  you do get 10 eyeshadows and it looks a good mix of matte and shimmer. 

6. This is such a cute dainty little necklace and I decided I just need it in my life. It's £4 from River Island and I just think it's so beautiful. More recently I've found myself getting more involved with the whole layering necklaces thing and buying more smaller pieces rather than my usual chunky statement gems. 

So this is my current wish list for January - although no doubt it will grow and grow the closer I get to pay day - Typical me. What are your current wish list items?

The Perfect Red Lipstick

Hi guys!

So today I had to share with you the most beautiful red lipstick I have ever found. I'm not usually a red lips kind of girl - I prefer raspberries or pinks but the other day I found the mother of all red lipsticks and it's perfect. 

The lipstick is from Loreal, called Julianne's Pure Red and it's only £6.99 - BARGIN! 

I've had my eye on this lipstick for a few weeks now - I first saw it at my local Boots but they only had the tester, so literally everyday for like 2 weeks I went back into the store to see if they had re-stocked but nothing, not going to lie I was pretty gutted that I wasn't going to have the lipstick for Christmas! It was only yesterday when I decided to go somewhere other than my local shopping centre and went into a new Boots and tah-dahhh they had the lipstick. I was so happy I bought it instantly - I didn't even continue looking around the Boots store I very literally just ran to the till with excitement. 

This baby definitely did not disappoint either - As soon as I put it on I knew it was love. It really is a 'pure red' it does lean slightly more towards the blue undertones but this is fine - totally makes my teeth look whiter (bonus!) The lasting power isn't too long as well you know, it is a drug store product but it does last a good 2-3 hours, which is good enough for me :) I also LOVE the smell of this lipstick...parma violets, know I know a lot of people hate this smell on lipstick but i love it, firstly parma violets are one of my favourite sweets, secondly well...I just love the smell!

So all in all I love this lipstick and I just had to share it with you guys! Have you tried this lipstick? What's your favourite red lippy?  

FABB Events Birmingham

Hi Guys, 

So on Sunday I went along to the FABB bloggers event in Birmingham. Now if you're not sure what FABB events is, it's two girls, Ray and Torr, who arrange blogging events that bring brands and bloggers together. The great part is you don't know what brands will be at the event until you arrive so there's a great element of surprise. 

The event was held in Alfie Birds in the Bustard Factory - it was such a perfect location, there were multiple floors to explore and the venue also provided food and drink if needed. There was a real rustic feel to the place which I loved and just at the entrance of the building there was a small pool with seating around. 

 Now there were so many amazing different brands at the event - but 2 that really stood out to me were StyleSkin Fur and MeMeMe Cosmetics. I had never heard of StyleSkin before but oh my gosh I'm glad I know about them now! They have the most beautiful range of fur bags, gilets and jackets. I feel head over heels in love with a monochrome gilet *hurry up payday*.

 MeMeMe Cosmetics had a truly amazing stand, I had heard of this brand before but never really tried the products. I'm genuinely so impressed with the range of make up that they offer and colour ranges and I'm so excited to try out the products in my goody bag from them! 

Now there so many other amazing brands were at the event - I've shown a few photos below to show little snippets of what the event was like and what brands were there. I also had a photo with Tor who amazingly pulled this event together. (Go & check her out here!)

 I would definitely recommend going to a FABB event if one pops up by you! For £10 a ticket you really can't go wrong :)

I've also done a video showing what was in my good bags in more detail - I warn you though it's a good 20 minutes long so grab a  cuppa before you start watching.
