REVIEW - LUSH - Shoot For The Stars Bath Bomb

Hullo Ladies!

So recently I became fascinated with LUSH and made a few orders :-) 

Due to that I forsee a great many LUSH reviews in my future, here's the first one!

This is the Shoot For The Stars Bath Bomb which is from the Christmas Collection.

The first thing I noticed about this bath bomb was the smell. Its a sweet citrus scent that's addictive. 

Talking to some people on Instagram who love LUSH, this bomb apparently shares it's scent with the Honey I Washed The Kids Soap but I've never tried that product so I don't know for certain. 

As you can see in the pictures this bath bomb gives a spectacular show, it's so pretty and has so much silver glitter! 

It look's like some type of artwork in your bath :-)  

The smell lingered for a long time which I loved and my skin felt gorgeous when I got out. 

I did find that some of the silver glitter stayed around the edges of my bath but they were easily washed away. 

I can't recommend this bath bomb enough! 

Have you tried it?

What your favourite LUSH product?

Birthday Haul - Perfume, The Body Shop + MAC

 Hullo Ladies!

The month of September was a busy month for me! It was my birthday month :-)

I received lots and lots of lovely goodies!

From my parents I was given this super cute birthday cake! It was so tasty :-) 

I was also given this Nails Inc Gel Effect Nail Polish Set :-) 

I knew I was going out for a few meals in the month of September so I decided to buy myself a new dress and chose this one by Alice & You from ASOS 

From my friends Jess, I recieved this gift set from Bomb Cosmetics. It's the Strawberry one :-) Love it!

From my Nan I was given this Photo Frame!

I really wanted one like this for my bedroom so I was so super happy with it :-) 

With the money my Auntie gave me I bought a new Makeup Revolution Blush Palette in Hot Spice! 

It's gorgeous :-)

 She also gave me a box of chocolates and a gorgeous soft toy rabbit.

My brother took me Shopping and bought me some lovely goodies from The Body Shop as they had a fab £25 off a £50 spend! 

I picked three shower gels, three body lotions, two hand creams, a shampoo and a body scrub.

I was also given two three gifts! 

The Vitamin E Face Cream and the Warming Mineral Mask :-) 

Then a few days later with some of the money I had left I made a few more purchases from The Body Shop. I like to buy in bulk and then use them through out the year!

I bought the Coconut, Mango and She Medium Sets :-) 

They had the 40% off code on at the time so they were a lot cheaper than what I would have paid! Bargain! 

A week later I took advantage of the Debenhams 10% off beauty offer code and picked up some MAC goodies. 

Two Pro Longwear Paint Pots in Painterly and Bare Study. 

Three Lipstick in Chatterbox, Lustering and Russian Red.  

I was also given some gorgeous new perfumes this year!

Coco Mademoiselle EDP by Chanel, Flowerbomb by Viktor & Rolf, Stella by Stella McCartney and Light Blue by Dolce & Gabbana.

The Chanel was gift for myself by myself! 

Does anyone else do that? Haha!

I was also given a few DVD's this year too :-)

Wayne's World, which I loved as a kid! The Woman In Black, which is one of my favourite horror movies. The first season of The Fresh Prince Of Bel Air & To Wong Foo, Thanks For Everything, Julie Newmar, which is another childhood favourite! 

So I was officially spoiled rotten again this year!

I can't wait to review some of these products!

 Especially The Body Shop goodies, the MAC stuff and the Perfumes! Yay!

Makeup Revolution Haul

Hullo Ladies!

A few weeks ago I made a Superdrug order to try out the famous Makeup Revolution Brand that I've heard so much about recently. 

It's a new inexpensive brand that much talked about lately and I've heard amazing things about the quality so I was super excited to finally give them a go! 

The first thing I bought was this Sweet and Spicy Ultra Blush Palette. 

It's a gorgeous palette that I've been using a lot lately and I have to say I like each shade! 

The other products I bought are from the I Heart Makeup range. 

I bought the Blushing Hearts Blusher in Queen Of Candy Hearts and also the Goddess Of Love Highlighter!

As you can see, they look very similar to the Too Faced blushes but I haven't tried those product yet so I couldn't suggest if they were dupes. 

Though these are only £4.99 each which is a big price difference from the Too Faced Blushes. 

I absolutely adore all the products I've bought from the brand and can't wait to try out more.

The other products in the first photo are samples from Superdrug that came with my purchase :-)

Have you tried the brand yet? 

What do you think?

Collective June/July Haul - YSL, Urban Decay, Revlon, Bourjois + More

 Hullo Ladies, 

I've bought a few things in the last couple of months so I thought I would show you the products that will hopefully be coming up in future reviews :-) 

Feel Unique always have great offers on so I've made a few purchases in the last two months. 

With my first purchase I bought two lipsticks which are Urban Decay Revolution lipstick in Turn On and YSL Rouge Pur Couture in Tropical Pink. 

Then because I fell in love with the Urban Decay Lipsticks and because they had £10 off a £25 spend I bought two more! In the shades Anarchy and Shame :-) 

On the same day they arrived I popped into ASDA and picked up a few things.

I bought a Cosmopolitan magazine which came with a free New CID lip product, the Real Techniques Retractable Blush Brush, Aussie 3 Minute Miracle Deep Conditioner and a lovely new pair of Pajamas! 

a few weeks ago while stopping in Boot's I noticed that Soap and Glory had a 3 for 2 offer going so I picked up the One Heck Of A Blot Face Powder, Kick Ass Concealer and Glow All Out Highlighter. 

On a food shop a few weeks ago I picked up the Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation and the Loreal Lipstick in Julianne :-) 

I was super excited to try the Wake Me Up foundation because I finally found a shade light enought for me which is called Light Porcelain. 

Last month while window shopping on the Superdrug website I noticed a glitch with the Revlon products. It was advertised as a Buy 1 Get 1 Half Off deal but when you added them to your basket it turned into a Buy 1 Get One Free offer, not only that but they had already been on offer and where £5.99 each so I bought 4 of the Colourburst Balms for around £11!!! Bargain :-) 

I bought the shades Show Off and Elusive which are Matte Balms and Whimsical and Coquette which are Lacquer Balms!  

I picked up some things in Superdrug not long after that, Bourjois where having a 3 for 2 offer and you also got a free pair of sunglasses. I bought the Cream Blush in 02 and two more of the Rouge Edition Velvet's which I love! 

I also bought a lip liner and eyeliner from Rimmel and a Loud Mouth Liquid Lipstick from Barry M called Diva. 

Then a few days later I went back and took advantage of the deal again! Love me some Bourjois :-) 

I bought two more Rouge Edition lipsticks in Fuschia Grafiti and Rouge Buzz, the 123 Perfect CC Cream. I also picked up the Palmers Lip Balm which I love by the way!! 

Last but not least I bought one of the Sleek Pout Paints in Pinkini because I wanted to see how it compares to the OCC Lip Tars. I'm hoping to do a Comparison and review at some point :-) 

So that's what I've been buying these last few months!!

What have you been purchasing? Anyone else happen to be as in love with Bourjois as I am?!

Collective Haul : April - Enrapture, DR Jart+, New Look, Sleek + More

Hullo Ladies!

I've picked up a few lovely things in the last few weeks :-) 

Having a look on Amazon I noticed they had on offer on some of the Enrapture styling tools, I picked up the Totem Styler and I'm in love with it, I'm also in love with the price I paid for it! 

At that time it was around £21 :-) The cheapest I've seen it before that was £40 in boots around Christmas time so that's a great Bargain! 

I also stopped in TK Maxx and found some Nip+Fab goodies :-)

 I bought this CC eye fix which I've enjoyed using.

I paid £2.99 for it.

I also picked up this Pigmentation Fix which is apparently a Best Seller, I can't wait to see if it makes a difference. 

I paid £5.99 for it.

I then found this in ASDA for £5 which I thought was a great price. I have to say though, even thought it's the lightest shade they had it looks orange on me :-( hate it when that happens. I'll ever try and match it with a lighter product or give it to someone who it would  work well with. 

While in Boots I noticed they had an offer on DR.Jart which I'd heard a lot about so I picked up this Beauty Balm which I'm really liking :-) 

Also in Boot's I picked up another bottle of the Match Perfection from Rimmel which I really love using :-) 

Boot's also had an offer on Soap and Glory Skin Care, I looked to see if they had my favourite Peaches and Clean Cleanser which Is one of my favourites but they hadn't so I picked up another one which Is always talked about - The UltiMelt Hot Cloth Cleanser. I've only tried it a few times but I really like it so far.

 I still want to pick up another Peaches and Clean though as I find it great for daily use. 

I stopped in New Look and thought this top looked super cute! 

I really want a Pug one day :-)

I went out on a night out last weekend so the day before I picked up some new Eylure lashes. 

I bought them in Superdrug as they were on offer but they're huge so I ended up using something slightly more subtle pair. These would be great for something a bit more glamorous.  

So I still have my Sleek obsession and I managed to buy a few more palettes this month :-) 

The I-Candy Limited Edition palette and the Bad Girl Palette. 

I've heard many things about both and couldn't wait to have them in my hands!

Last but not least I picked up a few more essentials which I needed.

I few weeks ago I bought a Tresemme Shampoo and Conditioner and my scalp really didn't like it so I decided to pick up a new Herbal Essences Shampoo and Conditioner for coloured hair. 

I also picked up some new cotton pads as I like to use them to help take off my makeup.

Last but  not least I bought a new red hair dye. Red is so hard to maintain but I can't get enough :-) 

Sleek Haul! Blush, Eye Shadow and Brows!

Hi Ladies!

So you may know that recently I've become OBSESSED with the brand Sleek and I just want to show you some of my most recent purchases :-) 

 First I ordered some more of the eye shadow palettes, I picked Storm and Au Naturel. 

Both I'd heard lots about :-) 

Storm Palette

They're both neutral palettes so great for every day looks but they also have some amazing dark jewel tone shadows so amazing for smokey eyes too! 

The other two products I picked up was the Brow Kit in Dark and I've only been using it for a day and I'm in love. My brows have never looked so good! 

The last product I picked up was the one I was most excited to get and have wanted for the longest is the new Blush By 3 palette in Pink Lemonade. I've wanted it since I first saw a blog post of it online and It's as beautiful in real life as it is pictured online! 

I'm definitely happy with everything I've bought. 

Everything was purchased from Amazon :-)  

The next product I'm thinking of buying is the I-Candy palette, It's very bright and different to what I usually go for but it's just so pretty! 

Have you bought anything from Sleek recently? Anything from them that your dying to try?!!

My First Feel Unique Order + Boot's 3 for 2 Haul

Hullo Ladies!

I have a new haul today :-)

Last week I bought a few things that I'm really excited about! 

First I'm going to talk about what I bought in the Boot's 3 for 2 offer :-) I'm pretty sure it's still going on so go get yourselves so awesome deals! 

The first thing I picked up was the Sexy Mother Pucker Gloss Stick in Nudist, I've been desperate to pick this up for awhile now after hearing some great things from some Youtube Beauty Guru's. They were forever going on about the smell but never actually saying what it smelt like. After using it these last few days I can tell you to me it smells like Palmers Cocoa Butter! Yum Yum! £8

The next product I picked up was one of the new Revlon Matte Balm in Standout, again this is another product I'd heard a lot about and as a lover of red lippy's I knew I had to pick it up. £7.99

Lastly I made my way to the makeup brushes and was about to pick up the real techniques eye shadow brush when I realized the new Ecotools brushes where the same price for two double headed brushes! £7.99 But I got it for free with the offer :-) 

The most exciting part of this haul for me was that last week I made my first Feel Unique order!

I've wanted to try TheBalm products for ages now, especially these two.

I bought the Nude Tude Palette and the Mary Lou-Manizer!

Both of these products I've heard many things about, especially from Estee from Essiebutton :-) 

I'm in love with both of them and I'm using them with every chance I get! 

So that's everything I've bought recently :-)

Have you tried TheBalm cosmetics?

First Haul Of October! - False Lashes, Hair care, Taylor Swift, Poundland and Mag Freebie!

Hullo Ladies!

It's been nearly a week since my last post, it's been really busy around here. Getting things ready for my holiday next week. 

I'll be doing a lot of hauls soon though talking about what I'll be taking to Portugal with me so that should be fun!

Today I have a haul post about some things I've picked up in the last week.

I've been obsessing over false lashes for some reason and decided to stop in Superdrug after finding out they had a sale going where they had a third off most of their lashes. 

I picked up all three from Eylure. 

Two from the Katy Perry Line - Cool Kitty and Oh, Honey! and one of the double set boxes as it was on a great offer. 

All were around the £3.50 - £4.00 mark

I'm taking the Katy Perry ones on holiday with me. 

I also stopped in poundland on tuesday and picked up some great things from Rimmel and Revlon. All products I've seen in Boots and Superdrug but for just £1 each! Amazing! 

I finally have the Facets Of Fuchsia nail polish from Revlon, which I've wanted for years, a Revlon Super Lustrous Lip Gloss in Coral Reef.  I've owned this before and loved it but sadly lent it to the wrong person and never saw it again, as you can imagine I was super happy to find it for a pound!

I also found two of the Wake Me Up Instant Radiance Shimmering touch tubes in Shimmering Sand and Radiant Rose. 

This was the Deal of the Week!

I still have quite a bit of Birthday money left and when I stopped in Superdrug to pick up the lashes I found out that they had their last 100ml bottle of Wonderstruck on Half Price sale for just £19. Then I found out I had 500 points on my card and I got this gigantic bottle for just £14!!! 

I love it too. Will be reviewing it soon!

I had my hair cut Friday for the Holiday and I bought the OSIS+ Shine Spray, I loved how it looked when she used it on me so I decided to treat my self. 

Then whilst in Superdrug (again) I noticed they had Buy 1 get the 2 half price and some Hair Care so I picked up some products from V05 that I've been meaning to try. Smoothly Does It Tame and Shine Spray and Volume Boost Gel Spray.

I know you're asking, "why buy two Shine Sprays?" but I didn't realise I'd done it until later, I'm not worried though! I know I'll use them both and maybe I can do a Comparison post on them :-) 

Last but not least I picked up the new Marie Claire magazine and this month they have a free L'occitane hand cream! I picked up the Original Shea :-)

So those are the lovely things I bought this week :-) 

Have you found some great deals lately?

The Body Shop HAUL and More (Skin Care, Perfume, Hair + Baby Lips!)

Hullo Ladies!

It's been awhile since I did a body shop haul, especially as it's one of my favourite stores! 

You may know already but I've been having some trouble with blemishes so I decided to purchase some products from The Body Shop as I'd heard some great things :-) 

The products I knew I wanted to try was the Tea Tree Line. All for blemished skin. 

From L- R - Tea Tree Face Mask, Tea Tree Oil, Tea Tree Toner, Tea Tree Facial Wash, Tea Tree Pore Minimiser. 

I'm also obsessed with masks at the moment so I made sure to pick up a few more to try.

I choose the Seaweed Ionic Clay Mask and the Blue Corn 3 in 1 Deep Cleansing Mask.

I've tried them all out already and will be reviewing shortly.

Also while in The Body Shop I took advantage of my £5 birthday gift and picked up a few of the EDT's 

Shea, Mango and Satsuma. 

I stopped in Asda as well and picked up a few things. 

L'Oreal Preference Hair Colour, Herbal Essences Bee Strong Shampoo and Conditioner and I finally picked up one of the Baby Lips from Maybelline in Pink Punch. 

It's my Birthday tomorrow so I apologize in advance if you don't hear from me in awhile...or I might surprise you and do some blogging straight away as I'm really excited about some of the things I'm having. I know most of them because I went shopping last weekend with my brother ;-) 

Hope You All Have A Great Week :-)
