Oxford streets LUSH HAUL


After seeing loads of youtube video on the new Lush in Oxford street i thought i'd take a trip down,
i've been a lover of lush for a few years now but released unless it was Christmas or some sort of holiday all the product were the same. Whats great about this lush is its the biggest lush in the world with 3 floors but also has hundreds of new products to try. Sadly i couldn't get them all but picked a few to try out.


Starting with lips.


Here i have an old and a new, Starting with the old bubble gum lip scrub this is a repurchase for me. How to use: Take a dig of this scrub and rub all around your lip to remove any dead skin then after you can lip it right off as its sugar with a bubble gum taste. I love this as someone who always gets dry lips this really helps remove that dead skin. Now for the new the Honey Trap Lip Balm something I've never seen before its a thick lip balm that has honey and mint in, really refreshing on the lips and great for everyday, so far so good. 


 Bath bomb crazy. 

Starting from the left first is the Twilight bath bomb Smell: Sweet but floral, great for the night. If you don't know how to use these all you do is stick into your bath after its run and let it fizz away. Tips: Make your bath bombs last longer Using a little screw driver and a hammer place in the middle and hit away until it cracks down the middle then split into four. 
Next is The Experimenter This has loads of amazing colour and fizzes like crazy. Smells like a dream reminds me of sherbet sweets. 
Lastly is Fizzbanger This one is just like lemons so yummy can't wait to pop this in my bath, and all these will leave your skin feeling and smelling amazing.





 Milky bottle Bath Melt :

 This one has a lovely gentle smell of milk and coco butter, The smell is so calming great for the night or a chilled day. This one you stick under the running water for some cute bubbles, and the little bit of glitter will leave your skin with a sparkle. These are great to soften your skin and will last you a few washes if broken up.




Rose Jam Bubble room:

Cute little sweet rose smelling maccaroon bubble bar is so great another product you can make last longer by twisting and breaking, promises to leave loads of bubble and is great for a morning wake up bath.





These two little thing are very new Lime Pastille bath oil that you leave in the bath to dissolve and turns your bath green and scented with citrusy lime and lemon oils and bursting with extra virgin coconut oil. Leaving the skin once again smooth and beautiful.
Then we have Floating Island Bath oil Piña coladas scent Very sweet and deserting leave this one in your bath as well and promises to relax your through out.


 Thanks for reading and i hope you enjoyed, hopefully you'll take a trip to the new lush just to treat your self ... a little bit or a lot ;) 
Justin incase you didn't know Lush is vegetarian and vegan also they don't test on animal so i don't see why you wouldn't spend that little extra and know you're getting the real deal no chemical or animals harmed and will leave you for sure happy.

Skin care: For blackheads/acne prone skin

This is just a little blog about things i use to take care of my skin after a full face of makeup or a break out, and my crazy black heads.



 First thing i like to use is a good face wash, This is after i remove my makeup with a wipe or I've been using the new miracle water by garnier. I use this everyday, the one the right olays essentials combo/dry/oily face wash as it really gives me that fresh feeling that is simple so it doesn't set my skin off, if I'm really oily or having some bad black heads i like to use the bioré deep pore wash. This really gets into my pores and leaves me with a tight face.




I also like to exvoliate so use this product from lush dark angle, this is great for if you have oily skin and can get some dry spots from acne it does dry you out if you use it too much to make sure to moisturise, Overall i love lush its all natural so you know whats going inside and won't set you off. But i would like to say everyones skin is different so these might not work out for you but this is just what has worked for me.



Deep treatments and masks: 

First is the Sanctuary Spa 5 minute Detox mask this is great for the t-zone where i have my problem, What i like is this product heats up as you put it on your face; getting deep into the pores. This just get ride of oily and black heads bringing anything bad in your pores out. I love this and I'm for sure running low.


Bioré Pore stripes:
Im running low and they always are pretty pricey but is the only way i can get all my black heads from my nose out. i recommend if your black heads are bugging you its super easy and the fastest way to get blackheads out.










  Moisturiser  and acne creams: 

Simple is so great the only thing that doesn't set me off and keeps my skin hydrated i like to use the light kind and is does sit on top of your face it really soaks in making your skin suck it up more. I do this morning and night i sometimes use a alovera  gel under, this as its great for the skin and acne.

Lasting is acnecide lord thank you for this. This is only given  to me by my doctors and has helped my acne so much, taking down the spots so fast and the redness very drying too so make sure to moisturise morning and night i use this over the top of my moisturise but only apply at night not under makeup as it will make it go patchy i learnt the hard way.

Thanks for reading i hope this helped

April Favourites - Beauty haul


Hey There, So i thought id try out a monthly favourites blogpost. These are just a few thing i loved in april and mostly will this month.



Brushes and foundation/concealer:


Real Techniques Expert face brush,
 Amazing gives me that coverage i want from a brush also doesn't leave any streaks and blends my makeup in so well.

 i use this to blend in my concealer also on andy spots i want to cover, even just going over after I've blended in my foundation to give me that even more natural flawless feel. 

This foundation i used so much at the start of the year my skin colour got darker so i didn't really use it as much, but now its still a little light, i forgot how amazing the coverage is and works so well with my the expert face brush. I also have acne so it covers it so well but doesn't break me out so its pretty much perfect for me. 

Another amazing foundation that i found online that doesn't break me out, but sadly got the shade too dark, but i can wear this in summer and i also mix it with my colour stay to make the perfect colour and it works amazing together. smooth and dry matt but leaves a glow.

Maybelline eraser eye concealer
Okay this is a great contour highlighter under your eyes or anywhere you want it to be lighter, what i do is buy a light shade for me and use it to brighten my under eyes its perfect doesn't smudge or leave creases under the eyes. i use the Blending sponge to blend it in and it looks flawless. 

                   LIPS 

Chanel Rouge Coco 432 Cécile 
When it says ultra hydrating it means it lasts most the day have a few top ups but leaves my lips feeling great, Really nice everyday lipstick natural nude pink flush that making me look so much more alive in the morning for sure worth the price.

Soap&Glory Extreme plump XL 
I have super small lips and they always need an extra bit of plump, I tired my friends sexy
Mother pucker and loved it so i thought id try the new range. The clear gel like lip gloss really smooth on the lips leaving them hydrated also tingles i love the feeling but not a lot of people do for sure try it out before cause it does tingle and gives your lips a fuller look. LOVE IT









                      EYES

Kiko Long wear eyeshadow sticks

When they say long lasting they mean it these

 shadow stick didn't move a bit all day, easy to blend really smooth and they have a nice glitter throughout. I was told these are a great double for the by terry ombre blackstars but they are just to pricey for me to dig into yet. I got the shade 07 and 05  07 is a really nice brown smokey shade that looks great on green eyes also i bet blue. And 05 is this really nice Champaign colour. Love these and ready to get some more for only 6.50 you can't go wrong.


















Brows:

OH MY I've been looking for a really nice easy brow filler for ages as i always used powered and this is now my fav, I got the shade hot chocolate that matches my dark brows perfectly and it has everything i need in one. The fin crayon like pen gives life like hair stroke giving me the fake hair effect and the brush is perfect to blend it all in and set in place. 

I got this just in clear to set my brows it works wonders cheap easy just helps my brows to stay in place that little longer. 




Highlight and bronzer

I heard so many blogger rave on and on about this bronzer so i thought id try it out my self. Easy to wear everyday isn't too in your face and gives your face a nice bronzed look without going too dark, Really easy and great to take around with you. Also a nice sized mirror inside.

This is perfect. So also once again I've heard so much about this mac product and was in need of a great high lighter that doesn't look horrible and patchy, but this does it all i use it on my cheeky bones and where the light would hit my face and it does wonders, if you was wondering to try this i would RIGHT NOW,  100% worth the money and will give you that Kim k Highlight we all want. 

I hope you liked this and it gave you some ideas for some new buys. 

Thanks for reading
