Review: LUSH BB Seaweed

.....I know, I know another lush review you say.

At first I was a bit unsure about putting a Lush product on my face, but for the purpose of beauty, i did. And I'm so glad I tried it.

Its a face mask designed for combination skin, it is light green in colour and has a fresh sent with a hint of honey.


I think this is great value for money, this is how much I had left after three uses and I would say there was 4/5 uses left ( i apply it pretty thick) and unfortunately I had to throw it away, but it does last a long time tho! Another bonus is that they operate a system similar to "Bac2Mac", collect 5 fresh face mask black pots and get one free! I apply it really thick and sit for a good 20 min to let it dry, during this time it will crumble off. Then any remaining product left on the face after the 20 min gets washed off with warm water. My skin is left fresh and soft.

Now recently Iv had a breakout, and im wondering if its because iv not been using a face mask regularly!

Next on my list is Cupcake!

What are your favourite face masks??

Review: Lush French Kiss Bubble Bar

Hi guys,
One of my favourite products from Lush has to be their bubble bars im slowly making my way through them all, and last night i tried another. The french kiss bubble bar,



It is a purple and white, tear drop shape bubble bar with a lavender sprig stuck into the top (mine broke of in transit :( ). One thing I have to mention about the shape, where as the typical bubble bars are a rectangle shape, this ones shape makes it harder to brake in half (i had to get a knife). The scent is hard to describe it smells of Lavender with something else, lush describe it as 'Lavender, rosemary and thyme' I can't smell it, but it smells nice. It almost has a calming effect I used this before I went to bed and felt very relaxed after.


*SO Pretty*

This product gives the water a nice purple tint, and mounds of bubbles. Iv heard a few people say that this turned there water oily, but that didn't happen to me, it gave the water a nice silky feel and felt very moisturising.

Would I repurchace, yes and no. Reasons, well the smell is lovely and I like the moisturising feel but the price puts me off, its £3.85 for 100g where as the comforter is £3.95 for 200g, I know its not much but it soon adds up!

I would give this product a 3/5.

Reviews: Cuticle Care Products

Hi guys,
When I was younger I had a horrible habit of bitting my cuticles, i never bit my nails tho, they get really dry and crack in the winter. To treat this I have a number of different products. Each one different in there own way.


This is the cheapest of the three, I picked it up in Sallys it was about £5-6 for 50ml, and it is the one I like least. It does hydrate my cuticles quickly, but with its greasy feel it would have to be used at night, and I like to apply cuticle products through out the day. Also the applicator is a pump which I feel is wrong for this kind of product as you need the smallest amount, and with the pump it is hard to control how much product it disperses.

And Lush does it again. This is an amazing product, it has a thick moose consistency and sinks into the skin quickly. Not only can it be used on cuticles but on elbows, knees and feet, always a plus. I only have the trial size but the full size costs £5.50 for 50g. The only thing that puts me off the product is the lemony scent, but thats my personal opinion.


Last but not least Christian Dior Creme Abricot, its has a thick gloppy consistency and a apricot scent. Although it doesn't have the added advantages of being multi-purpose like Lush's lemony flutter, it is super concentrated so a little goes a VERY long way which takes me on to the price. I got this for £14 as there was a special offer on, normal I think it costs about £16 for 10g, it does seem alot but iv had this pot for about 8 months and hardly made a dent.
My conclusion would be if Lemony Flutter and Creme Abricot had a baby it would be the perfect product!

Haul #1

Hi Guys,

I went shopping today in my local town, and bought a few things there not really make up related but im going to post it any way.

heres what i got,

This is what I was most exited about its the Lush Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes box it contains Big Shampoo (45g), 1 Vitamin C toner tab, Fresh Face mask ( I got BB Seaweed), Moisturiser sample ( I have imperials), Mini Sugar Scrub, Mini Each Peach massage bar, Lemony Flutter sample, Pied de Pepper sample, Handy Gururu sample and not forgetting the all important free Moustache :). I got all this for £12.50 + I used a 10% voucher from a gift box so it only cost me a grand total of £11.25, Bargin!

Next,


I popped into Sallys to pick up some bobby pins and while I was in there I thought I would pick up some Ion Appliance Cleansing Wipes.



When ever im in W H Smith I always read, but never buy Nylon mag, well today was different I bought it! As well as Vogue. Although its expensive (£4.25 ouch!) I love looking at the outfits created and gaining inspiration.


Finally I always love to take advantage of those Bargin DVD Bins and I got 'The Holiday' for only £3.99, this is definatly one of my top movies, I LOVE IT!

So thats all I bought today, thanks for reading :).

Love

Review: Lush Creamy Candy Bubble Bar

I'm a self confessed Lush addict and the Creamy Candy Bubble Bar is one of my fav Lush products.


I usually break the bar in half and use one side per bath, crumble it under the running tap and it creates oodles of bubbles and gives the water a nice silky feel.


It belongs to the 'Rock Star Soap' family and has a similar scent, smells like the sweetie isle in shops :), It's a pink bar with a small flower pressed into the center, soo pretty.




I'd give this product 5/5, my only wish for this product is that when I used it, it would turn my bath water pink :) but any how its a lovely product and would definetly repurchase.
You can purchase this from Lush Stores or Lush online, for £2.27
