Hi guys. I think it's safe to say just by the amount of posts I have written about Lush products so far this year that I am well and truly a Lush addict! There's nothing I love more than taking a long bubble bath and these products make the entire experience a lot more fun and special. These five products were given to me for my birthday a little while ago and although I briefly mentioned them in my 'What I Got For My 20th Birthday' posts back in May, I wanted to talk about each item today in more detail. So, let's get started!
Creamy Candy Bubble Bar - £2.60
First up is my favourite ever Lush product. Creamy Candy is a gorgeous bubble bar that turns your bath water a cute pale pink shade. I normally use half a bar per bath and crumble it under a running tap to create the perfect amount of bubbles. The main reason I love this product so much is due to the fact that it smells of candy floss and all things sweet and yummy! This var also contains a mixture of cocoa butter and almond oil too, which leaves you skin feeling silky soft.
Sex Bomb Bath Bomb - £3.25
Next up is the infamous Sex Bomb bath bomb, which is one of Lush's most popular products and rightly so! This jasmine, ylang ylang and sage scented bomb claims to ease stress and 'get you in the mood.' Although I wouldn't say that those statements are true, I did enjoy using this product and it does smell heavenly. As it fizzes, it turns your bath water a bright pink colour which makes Sex Bomb the perfect product for a pamper night.
The Comforter Bubble Bar - £4.50
The Comforter is a bit of a new discovery for me and I am absolutely obsessed with it. I would definitely say that it is my second favourite bubble bar (nothing will ever replace Creamy Candy for me!) This bar smells like blackcurrant and berries, which means that it is extremely fragrant and makes your entire bathroom smell amazing. This product also creates a lot of bubbles when you run it under the tap. I also like that The Comforter is one of the biggest bubble bars, so you can get a lot of uses out of it too!
Pop In The Bath Bubble Bar - £2.95
The third and final bubble bar included in this post is Pop In The Bath. This cute little bar has a fresh and floral fragrance which also includes citrus oils to add a little zest too. What's great about this product is that it comes in three different colour variations; so you can choose your favourite out of green, white or blue. Like all bubble bars, Pop In The Bath creates lots of lovely bubbles, as well as nourishing your skin at the same time. I'm not too sure if I would purchase it again as I do prefer other ones more but it was still enjoyable to use.
Think Pink Bath Bomb - £2.50
Last but not least is the Think Pink Bath Bomb. I loved its vanilla fragrance and it made my whole bathroom smell incredible. This particular bomb also contains lavender oil, which means that it is a great product to use to unwind at night time. Not only does it turn your bath water bright pink but as it dissolves, it releases lots of little rice paper love hearts - which makes this bath bomb super cute and fun to use!
I hope you have all enjoyed reading about these five lovely products from Lush, as I certainly enjoyed using them! Please let me know if you have tried any of these products before, what you thought of them and so on. Also, I am always open to recommendations and I would love to know of any Lush items that you love and think I would enjoy. So, please feel free to leave a comment below. Thank you :)
Hi guys. Today I thought that I would do the Lip Product Addict Tag, which was originally created by YouTubers Amelia Liana and Essiebutton (watch here.) The reason behind me doing this tag is simply because I seem to be lacking in inspiration this week but I still wanted to post something whilst I try to get my blogging mojo back! The beauty product that I obsess over most is definitely lipstick and I always seem to buy a new one whenever I pop into Boots or Superdrug, it's an addiction of mine! Hence, I thought that this tag was the perfect fit me. So, lets get started!
1. Favourite balm/treatment?
I really loving using Carmex to nourish my lips throughout the day or over night. I love its thick consistency as it really feels like it is doing something to your lips. Not only this but this balm is so cheap which is a huge bonus seeing as I have gotten through quite a few tubes of it already and use it almost every day. My favourite flavour to use is cherry as it smells delicious! I also think that there is a hint of menthol in this product as it really makes your lips tingle when you apply it too!
2. Best eye-catching red?
I would have to say that my favourite red to wear is Revlon's ColorBurst Matte Balm in the shade 'Standout,' which is a deep red. I love the matte finish to this product as it is not at all drying on the lips and think that sometimes super glossy reds can make you look a little over done. This crayon is super long-lasting too - which is great for when I want to wear a statement red lip on a night out and I don't want it to budge!
3. Best luxury & best drugstore?
For luxury, I love my new Clinique Chubby Stick in the shade 'Woopin' Watermelon.' I am a huge chubby stick fan and I just love the colour of this. It is a pale pink shade that is quite sheer, so it is perfect to wear during the day time. I usually layer it over Benefit's Posie Tint and these two product together give the most amazing natural and pretty look. As for drugstore, I think you cannot beat the formulation of Rimmel's Moisture Renew Lipsticks. They are really moisturising and creamy, plus the shade range that they have is amazing. There is definitely something for everybody! One of my favourite shades is 'Dark Knight Water-loops!' which is a stunning dark plum shade which is perfect for creating a vampy make-up look.
4. Best MAC lipstick?
Surprisingly, I only own one MAC lipstick and this is because I am often on a budget and I find that the range of lip products in the drugstore is pretty amazing anyway! However, the one lipstick from MAC that I do own is called 'Crosswires.' It is a gorgeous coral/pink shade which is part of their creme sheen collection. It is a beautiful summer shade that looks great with a tan and instantly perks up your complexion!
5. The most disappointing?
The most disappointing lip product in my collection is Barry M's Ultra Moisturising Lip Paint in the shade 156. This lipstick does not last long on the lips at all and it is quite a pain to have to constantly re-apply it. For me this is a real shame because it's deep pink/berry shade is actually really gorgeous, it's just a pity that it fades so quick!
6. Liner - yes or no?
I do not tend to use liner because lipstick does not seem to bleed on my lips, so I think for me personally, it is an unnecessary step. However, I do love the look of using lip liner if you are doing a bold lip as it gives you a lot more precision and definition.
7. Best gloss?
My favourite gloss at the moment is Revlon's Super Lustrous Lipgloss in Kiss Me Coral. Not only is the formulation of the gloss lightweight and not overly sticky, but the colour itself is gorgeous too. This coral/red gloss has amazing pigmentation for a gloss and it also has fleck of glitter run through it, which makes it even more pretty!
8. Something extra!
I could not do the Lip Product Addict Tag without mentioning Bourjois' Rouge Edition Velvet Lipsticks. Everybody in the blogging community is talking about these bad boys and for good reason! These liquid lipsticks are not only affordable but the six shades in the range are so bright and stunning. I have the colour 'Frambourjosie,' which is vivid pink and this is without a doubt the most long wearing product that I own. It does not budge all day and it's matte finish is really flattering without being drying or patchy.
So guys, I hope you all enjoyed reading my answer to the Lip Product Addict Tag. Rather than tagging specific fellow bloggers to complete this tag, I would like to tag everybody who is reading this post to try the questions out for themselves! If you do complete the tag, make sure to leave a link to it below so that I can check out your answers! Thank you :)
Soap & Glory is one of my favourite brands ever when it comes to bath & body products for a number of different reasons. Not only do their products nourish your skin really well but they have an amazing range of scents and adorable, quirky packaging too! The Soap & Glory range is exclusively sold in Boots, who have a 3 for 2 offer on at the moment where you get the cheapest item for free. So, I couldn't resist going in there and picking up a few bits as a little treat for myself! Today, I thought that I would write a mini review of each product and tell you what I think of them all. Let's get started!
Soap & Glory Sugar Crush Body Wash - £6.50
The Sugar Crush range is my favourite scent that Soap & Glory do, so I definitely had to buy this body wash. I have never used this product from the range before but I have used the Sugar Crush Scrub (which I will talk about below.) Of course, what initially drew me in to this item is it's delicious scent which features lime oil and kiwi juice water. I am huge fan of citrus scents as they are really refreshing and are a great pick-me-up in the morning. As for the wash itself, it lathers up really well when I work it into my loofah. A little goes a long way as I only use about 2 or 3 small pumps and this is enough for me to clean my entire body. For the size of the bottle (500ml,) I think that it's £6.50 price tag is very affordable as this is no doubt going to last me for quite a while!
Soap & Glory Foam Call Body Wash - £6.50
As I had already chosen both of the Sugar Crush products mentioned in this post, I decided to buy another body wash to complete the 3 for 2 offer. The reason I did this was to get the most out of my money and the deal by choosing a product at the highest possible price that I could still get for free! Foam Call's fragrance is part of S&G's Fruitigo range which includes orange oil and green fig - which is again another citrus range which I adore! This body wash lathers up very well, just like the Sugar Crush one does too. With two bottles of this body wash, I'm pretty sure that I'm going to be pretty set shower gel wise for a long time!
Soap & Glory Sugar Crush Body Scrub - £8.00
Last but not least, and my favourite from the bunch, is the Sugar Crush Scrub. Similarly to the body wash, I'm addicted to the scent of this! The scrub also includes brown sugar and macadamia grains which make up its gritty texture, which makes it perfect for exfoliating. Whats great about this product is that it is not too harsh but it is not too gentle either, so it is excellent at removing dry skin from the surface of your body without being too abrasive. I have had a tub of this before and it lasted me a good few months, so again this product is great value for money as well. I am looking forward to using this again especially as I am not getting back into fake tan and exfoliation is a key part of that process!
I hope you all enjoyed reading about the Soap & Glory products that I picked up in Boots' 3 for 2 offer. I'm really looking forward to using them! Have you tried any of these before? What is your favourite Soap & Glory product? Please let me know by leaving a comment below. Thank you!
