LUSH Halloween and Christmas Haul

Hello Lovely Ladies! 

I apologise for being away so long, some of you may know that my mother is very ill and I'm her full time carer so I don't have a lot of time in the day anymore but I've missed blogging so I'm going to try hard to write about my favourite things again!

   

So as most of you may know, LUSH recently released their Halloween and Christmas range which I was super excited for! It's my favourite time of year to shop at lush. 

From the Christmas Range This year I made sure to purchase a big bottle of the famous Rose Jam Shower Gel. I didn't bother getting a bottle last year and really regretted it. This year they're making 1kg sizes of our favourite shower gels so I invested in one! I'm in love with the scent.  

The next thing I bought was the Bar Hum bug Bubble Bar which I was dying to try, it's liquorice scented. I can't wait to crumple it up in the tub and enjoy a gorgeous purple bath. 

Next is the Yog Nog Bath Bomb, I adorned the soap last year so I was really excited and happy to see them release something else with the same scent. Everyone's raving about this one on Instagram! It has little melts on the inside so it's supposed to be super moisturising. I hope they release a shower gel with the same scent at some point! 

I also bought a Peeping Santa bubble bar which I've never tried, it's very fruity/sweet scented! It's lovely and bigger than what I expected which is always a good thing! 

I made sure to pick up a Cinders bath bomb which was one of the first lush products I ever tried! It's a gorgeous 'Christmasy' scent with star anise and clove. It also has popping candy! I love to use this on Bonfire Night! 

Next is the Magic Of Christmas Bubble Bar, I was again really excited to hear about this release, it's a lot sweeter and less spicier than I expected it to be but again it's a gorgeous scent that I can't wait to use. 

The last thing I bought from the Christmas Range was the Holly-Go-Lightly Bubble Bar which was my favourite last year! If you know the scent Hot Toddy from LUSH, that's what this smells like! I was gutted to hear they wouldn't be bringing out the Hot Toddy Shower Gel this year but this bubble bar made up for it! It's very big so you can have about four baths and it makes the water bright green! 

Onto the products I bought from the Halloween Range. 

This year they brought out the Lord Of Misrule Shower Gel along with the bath bomb so I made sure to buy a big bottle, it's a really interesting and addictive spicy scent! I love it. The bath bomb is amazing!! If you haven't tried it yet I suggest you pick it up if you pass a store soon. 

I also managed to pick up a Sparkly Pumpkin Bubble Bar which has a gorgeous fruit scent, it's a gorgeous products but it gets gold lister EVERYWHERE! I don't mind though! :) 

So that's everything I've bought from LUSH so far, I'm hopefully going to pick up a few more things from the Christmas range soon, including a big bottle of Snow Fairy! 

Have you bought anything from the LISH winter range? What's your favourite so far?!

HUGE LUSH Halloween + Christmas Haul

 Hullo Ladies!

I've made three LUSH Orders this past month since they released their Halloween and Christmas Collections, this time of the year is the only time I really buy from lush so I like to stock up when I can :-) 

My First Order consisted of ;

500ml Bottle Of Snow Fairy (Christmas) Iconic scent for Lush Fans and one of the first product's I ever bought from the brand.

Sparkly Pumpkin Bubble Bar  (Halloween) A gorgeous orange pumpkin with gold luster. Smells very fruity. Not what I expected but nice none the less.

Magic Wand Bubble Bar (Christmas) One of the few products I've tried in the past, smells just like Snow Fairy!

Shoot For The Stars Bath Bomb (Christmas) I've used this already and have to say it gives a beautful show in the bath, I really grew to love the scent too which Ive been told smells like Honey I washed The Kids but I couldn't tell you for sure yet because I've not tried that particular product :-) 

Father Christmas Bath Bomb (Christmas) Smells like Snow Fairy and I can't wait to try it! 

My Second Order consisted of more Seasonal releases but also one permanent product.

Wizard Bubble Bar - Very cute, I've already used it so I'll be reviewing soon!

Phoenix Rising Bath Bomb - This is part of the permanent range but to me smells great at this time of year! Smells like cinnamon so definitely one to try if you're fan of warm spicy scents.  

Cinders Bath Bomb - This is the only other thing I've ever bought from LUSH in the past and it's amazing. Again it's very warm and spicy and it has popping candy! 

Candy Mountain Bubble Bar - Smells like Snow Fairy and for some reason reminds me of The Grinch. I'm in love with it!

So White Bath Bomb - I ordered this because I'd heard so much about it from bloggers, It smells like the skin of an apple to me, a very realistic soft scent. I can't wait to use it and see what the hype is all about :-) 

Golden Wonder Bath Bomb - Another much loved product that is supposed to be amazing when you put it in the bath. It makes a noise when you shake it so that's exciting!

Northern Lights Bath Bomb - This came broken so I emailed the customer care line and they've told me they are sending a replacement. I wouldn't usually complain about such a thing but I've heard and seen on Instagram how amazing this is! Can't wait to try it! 

Reindeer Rock Soap - I was dying to try a soap from the brand so I chose this one, it's smells very fruity and I love it :-)

Santa's Lip Scrub - For years I've heard amazing things about these Lip Scrubs so I decided to splurge and pick up the Santa's one. I have a lot to say about this one so I'll be reviewing soon!

So in the third and fianl order I chose:

Luxury Lush Pud - I decided to buy this one after seeing a video clip on Instagram it looked amazing! Can't wait to try it in the bath. 

Snow Fairy Shower Gel - I bought another 500ml bottle, I know, I'm naughty but it so darn good!

Yog Nog Soap - Oh My God, this soap smells so yummy. I really want to get more but I'm going to force myself to wait awhile! Three orders in one month is plenty!

The Christmas Penguin Bubble Bar - I've heard so much about this little guy that I had to try him out. He smell very fresh and I can't wait to see how my bubble bath turns out tonight :-) 

The Comforter - This is in the permanent line but I've  been meaning to try it for ages as it's talked about a lot! After hearing that it also shared it's scent with the Reindeer Rock soap I knew I had to get it! So glad I did. The smell reminds me of my childhood for some reason! 

So that's my HUGE Lush haul!

Have you ordered anything from the seasonal range yet?

My Halloween Costume - Dead Goth/Pin Up/Who the Hell knows?

Hullo Ladies!

Halloween may be next Thursday but like many people in the world I happened to celebrate it last night!

So I bought a skeleton dress from Asda a few weeks ago but I still didn't know what I was going as because I could go as a skeleton, or I could go as a dead goth.

In the end I'd changed my mind so many times I just decided to go as a dead goth but with a dead pin up makeup. 

My brother Shaun went as Batman :-) 

Fair play to him, he stayed in character all night!

This is the dress I bought from Asda, it was only £10 and I had to were tights because it was super short. I'm just hoping that it didn't ride to far up when I was dancing! Eeeek I don't even want to think about it!

I did the nails myself (as you might be able to guess hehe) I bought some false nails in Superdrug and then painted them! They looked great and for the first 30 minutes I loved them but then they got on my nerves! Especially when they started to pop off later in the night. They were good fun though and it was nice to try something new :-) 

My Makeup:

Foundation : Estee Lauder Double Wear in Shell

Lips : MAC Ruby Woo Lipstick

Brows : Urban Decay Eyeshadow in Blackout

Eyes : Urban Decay Eyeshadows in Blackout, Omen, Evidence and Half Truth. 

False Lashes are Eylure Katy Perry in Oh My!

 I hated them, I had to cut them in half and they still looked strange!! I don't know i'f im liking the katy perry range, think I'll stick to original Eylure lashes from now on! 

My Brother Shaun, his Girlfriend Alyssa and Me!

What do you think? Did I look scary enough?!

You can see my face makeup better in this one because of the flash, that's the only time you can see all that dark/deathly contouring I did, that seemed to take hours to look right! :-) 

So I had a good night, lots of laughter, drinks and dancing!

Have you done anything for Halloween yet? Waiting for the actual day or not bothering with it this year? 

Next weekend I'm hoping to have a scary movie night with a friend, so Halloween definitely isn't over for me yet!
