Buy + Try...The Experimenter Lush Bath Bomb!

Hey Guys!

How's it hanging??

So I thought I'd try out the highly anticipated Lush bath bomb 'The Experimenter'. The first thing that caught my eye with this particular Lush product was how colourful it was and reeeally wanted to know what colour the water would turn when it's put in the bath :)

What I first noticed was how sort of crumbly it was and how easy the colour transferred onto my skin and that's before the bath bomb went into the water! The Fair Trade vanilla in it is very strong which makes this bath bomb very sensual and relaxing and because it doesn't contain any overpowering sweet smells like lemon or anything like that, it makes this bath bomb perfect for winding down. However the colour doesn't! haha! 

When dropped in the bath water The Experimenter swirls around shooting rays of pink and blue and purple but sadly the fun only lasts about a minute before all the colours mesh together and create a horrible browny/bluey colour which isn't the most pleasant when lying in it trying to relax. 

The glitter particles are quite large in this one, which I don't mind, I honestly don't think this bath bomb is worth the hype. The smell lingers for a while after the bath which is very soothing but the colour is very disappointing considering how bright they are before they go in the water.

Overall I think this bath bomb is very overrated and I probably wouldn't purchase it again unless I have a bath and close my eyes haha! :)

Thank you sooo much!

See you guys later.

Buy + Try...Creamy Candy Lush bubble bar!

Hey Guys!

How's it hanging??

So I hope you enjoyed reading my latest blog post about the Frozen Lush bath bomb ( that blog post ) and I thought I'd do it again with another Lush product which is the Creamy Candy bubble bar. Now, a bubble bar is slightly different compared to a bath bomb because bath bombs are just dropped in the bath and float around the bath whilst fizzing and/or change colour but a bubble bar is crumbled under the running water which helps create the bubbles, hence the name. I personally prefer the bubble bars because of the bubbles but there's a wider variety of bath bombs so sometimes I mix and match. Also you can either use half of the bubble bar or all of it and obviously the more of it you use the more bubbles you create.

With almond and cocoa butter in as well as a very sweet Candy floss smell, this is definitely a bath product that lifts you up after a hard day at work or if you just feel like you need a pick me up due to the sweetness of it. The colour of it is a really bright pink but when the products in the water it kind of turns a lighter pink:

Overall I think this bubble bar is alright but I'd only have it if I hadn't got anything else and if I didn't have that much money because it's actually quite cheap compared to the other bath products I've used from Lush :)

Thank you sooo much!

See you guys later.

Buy + Try...Frozen Lush bath bomb!

Hey Guys!!

How's it hanging??

So if you know me I'm sort of slightly obsessed with Lush products whether it's hair care, bath bombs or the shower gels and I always get excited when they have new products out. So when I went to my local Lush I wanted to go completely crazy in there but they hadn't got everything that's new so I'll probably order them another time haha! But I did manage to get the 'Frozen' bath bomb inspired by the Disney film, Frozen:

This bath bomb has rose oil in, which isn't overpowering at all, and neroli oil (orange) which is supposed to give us the feeling of being happy and content which definitely did. But part of me thinks that it'd be good for a morning bath to prepare yourself for the day rather than a relaxing bath with something that has lavender in like the 'Dreamtime' bath melt.

When the bath bomb hit the water a bright blue line streamed out and filled the bath with glittery bubbles and made it complete bliss. Even though I'm not a huge fan of the glitter bits in Lush products this one was so subtle and didn't stain the bath and left little particles of sparkle on my skin <3

I would definitely recommend this bath bomb and would happily have it again :D

Please leave a comment on any other products I should try.

Thank you sooo much!!

See you guys later.

My Holiday...pt 2

Hey Guys!!

How's it hanging??

So if you've been following my blog you'll know I went on holiday in July and wanted everyone to know what I got up to but because I went for 2 weeks and did quite a lot I didn't want to cram it all on one post so 2 posts ago I did a post called My Holiday...part 1 which was basically the first week of my holiday and this is a continuation of my holiday. Enjoy! :)

Saturday 25th July 2015 (Istanbul, Turkey)

Today we were going to go off and do our own thing but I didn't feel that up to it. The weather was soooo hot (not that I should be complaining haha) and I didn't feel up to it so whilst my family went off shopping I stayed on the boat. I walked around the boat for a bit, read some fashion books and played card games by myself...wow. That night was informal night so I wore a midi red dress and some brown sandals but before we ate we went to the pub that's on the boat where we did a pub quiz and I had Disaronno and coke <3

I had a sweet potato and cauliflower pasty, salad, pork with cheesy potatoes and veg and then lemon meringue pie.

Sunday 26th July 2015 (Istanbul, Turkey)

Today we woke up extra early because we went on an excursion so we could go see the Saint Sofia, the Blue Mosque and the Bosphorus Bridge. When we'd crossed the bridge we then got dropped off for 3 hours to go and visit the Spice Market and when we'd done we decided to wait under a tree and I got shit on...by a bird. Some say it's good luck :/ fingers crossed haha.

Tonight was informal night so I wore a black and white play suit and some white heels but I can't remember what I ate for my dinner but it was probably chicken haha.

Monday 27th July 2015 (Sea Day)

Because we couldn't go off board because it was a sea day, I decided to go and do some more laps so I fast walked 3 miles and then we went to go and watch the Imitation Game with Benedict Cumerbatch( or Cumberland Sausage as I call him haha) and honestly it was probably the best film I'd seen all year! 

Tonight was formal night and picture night so I decided to recycle my old prom dress (short black) with white heels and red lips :) I had a chicken salad, the leek and broccoli flan and then ice cream for dessert.

Tuesday 28th July 2015 (Marmaris, Turkey)

Today we walked around doing some shopping, I bought Turkish eye necklace, and we had a drink at a cute little cafe and as always there was lots and lots of sleepy cats <3 

When we got back on the boat we decided to watch The Theory of Everything and although I didn't think I'd understand it, but it was absolutely fascinating, Eddie Redmayne did an amazing job and as soon as the film had finished I went to the library and wanted to learn a bit more so I started to read The Origin of Everything :'D

Tonight was informal so I decided to wear a red cropped top with a floral pencil skirt and some sandals. I ate a mushroom tart, fish and veg and then ice cream.

Wednesday 29th July 2015 (Heraklion, Greece)

Again we walked around on our own for a couple of hours and because I didn't think it was really fair that I was restricting my sister because I was using her shoes, I bought some new black wedges for only 20 euros!!! That's like £15. 

Tonight was the last formal night so I thought I'd dare it and go with a white dress and my new black wedges which are soooo comfy to walk in! I had the salad, beef Wellington and the ice creams.

Thursday 30th July 2015 (Piraeus, Greece)

Today was soooo bloody hot (39 degrees c) and instead of a 30 minute walk from the boat to the main shopping centre, we decided to go on the 'Fun Train' which cost 5 euros and would drop us off and pick us back up!

We stopped at a little cafe and I had the best peach tea I've ever had and it came with free cake! Can't complain! :D haha. But there was a lot of pigeons (if you don't know I have a slight fear of the bastards) Then we couldn't hack the heat any more so had to re-treat back to the boat for an endless supply of orange and cranberry juice :)

Tonight was informal night so I wore a burgundy lace dress and my black wedges and had the seafood salad, chicken fricoses (?) with mash and veg and the chocolate crème brulee which was insane!

Friday 31st July 2015 (Sea Day)

Like it always has been when it's been a sea day, I walked 4 miles today (thought I'd push myself haha) and we had to very slowly start packing because we were going to leave tomorrow :'( we had to return the books back to the library and because we had a luggage allowance we had to be careful what we bought back and what we kept here. So I used my make up wipes, left my razor, left my broken shoes etc. 

I wore a black cami top with black trousers and my black wedges but I can't remember what I had to eat...awks. But we had to leave our suitcases outside of our cabin so they could be collected and transported outside ready for us to take them to the airport.

Saturday 1st August 2015 (Going home)

We had to wake extra early and fill our boots because we were going to be travelling all day :( We had to wait for our level that we were on to be announced that it was our time to leave and we then had to find our suitcases and queue for a coach to take us to the airport but we managed to snag the coach that had hardly anyone on it but the drive was only about an hour so wasn't too bad. 

Then we got to the airport, which was suuuper windy, and literally had to wait 3 hours for our plane to arrive and because there was about 100+ people getting on our flight, there wasn't any seats left so we had to sit on the floor and because we're a party of 6 we couldn't sit together either on the plane ride, which wasn't that bad (thank god for music). We arrived at Manchester Airport and our driver picked us up and took us home. So after over 10 hours travelling and only having breakfast I was very very very tired :/

But overall I had a very good holiday and just want to thank everyone who helped us at any point and my family for making memories that I'll never forget <3 <3

Thank you sooo much!!

See you later guys.
