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.

Five Guys vs Handmade Burger Co.

Hey Guys!!

How's it hanging??

Soooo I know I haven't been on here for quite a while and I'm suuuuuper sorry about that but hopefully now there won't be any hold backs!! haha <3

As you lot know, or if you don't, I like burgers. Alot. Like their probably my favourite food everrrr! So I went to 2 well known burger places; Five Guys and Handmade Burger Co and I thought I'd do a versus kind of thing to let you know which one I thought was better :D

I first went to Five Guys (by the way I didn't go to both places on the same day, I'm not that bad! haha ;) ) and had the cheeseburger with JalapeƱos but because we didn't think we'd eat it all, we shared a large chips between us. When I went to Handmade Burger Co. I ordered a cheese and bacon burger with jalapeƱos and avocado and again we shared a large chips.



And I choose...





Five Guys.

The chips are waaaaayy better and there are over 15 toppings you can have for free whereas the toppings at Handmade are priced depending on what they are. But the burger was a lot meatier than the Five Guys 'pattie' which made me full even more, but the bun was sooo disappointing at Handmade and literally kept breaking apart so I had to do a KFJ :/ (knife and fork job).

Also, there was a larger drinks choice at Five Guys (I had a Coke Orange which was basically coke mixed with orange) whereas at Handmade I had a Dandelion and Burdock which was from a selection of about 10 drinks whereas at Five Guys I think there was over a 100 options!The prices were pretty similar as well.

So there you go my little review. I'm pretty sure there's a lot of people out there that prefer Handmade and although I didn't enjoy it as much as Five Guys I wouldn't say I'd never go again.

If you want to see me do more reviews like this then please get in touch where you can recommend to me on my links below.

Thank you sooo much!

See you later guys.

Shoppinggg!!!!!

Hey Guys!!

How's it hanging??

I know I know...it's been a while sorry :) but I'm back now and wanted to tell you beauties what I got when I went shopping todayy :D

First I went to Lush because I'd ran out of anything new for my Suds Sundays and because I'd got a voucher for there I thought why not eyyy ;) So I decided to get:





Now I should be okayy for about a month til I need to go back! :)

Then it started to rain and I immediately ran to Boots I have no idea whyy ;D haha must be habit but you obviously can't go into Boots and not buy anything :) I really wanted a nice spray and my friend has a Soap and Glory one and smells soooo good so I thought I'd buy one...and I did!



I remember seeing somewhere a new Sleek palette and reeeallllyyy wanted a particular shade in the palette but couldn't find it in store but did find another palette I quite liked the look of and even though I'd already got the blush in this palette but ohh well :D 



Now I was also thinking about buying some face masks for when I have my bath on a Sunday and there was an offer at Boots on the Montagne Jeunesse so of course I had to haha :)



Now I know that one of them is for dry to combination skin and another one so for oily to combination skin but I always go for the scents/flavours rather than what they do haha :D

And the last things I bought were nail varnishes even though I've got toooo many but ohhh well haha :D I saw this colour and immediately had to get it because it reminded me of Parma Violets sweets (if you aren't familiar with them Google it) but the picture doesn't do it justice I'm afraid :/



I also wanted to get the Sunset Daylight Curing topcoat because I'd recently bought the nail varnish called 'Drive Me Navy' (which is what I'm wearing on my nail throughout these pictures) and I thought I'd try it out :D


Then finally I went to Topshop (my guilty pleasure). I really wanted to find some more rings because, as you'll see in my last post, I bought a mixture of midi and normal rings and have been wearing them constantly so had to get some more and if I'm honest I only really like 1 of these rings but thought I'd still get them and wear them to get used to them if you get me ;)


The one I'm reeeeaalllllyyyy loving is the hexagon one with the nude colour gem stone in it by the way :D

Then on the way to the queue I decided to get a plain white t-shirt because I haven't got one!! But I decided to get it in the biggest size because I wanted it to be pretty baggy rather than fitted. P.S. sorry the tops creased :/





So there you gooo :) that's what I bought todayy. I hope you had a really good day whatever you're doing and in the comments below tell me what you did today.

Thank you sooo much!!

See you later guys.

What I got from Birmingham! :D

Hey Guys!!

How's it hanging?? :)

So as promised here is a mini haul of stuff that I got from the Bullring in Birmingham. Me and my family always go to Birmingham when we want to do a massive shop rather than Walsall because there's more shops and is sort of like a treat/break from work. So without further ado here we go :)

My lips lately have been very dry even with Vaseline it still isn't as effective as it used to be and originally I went into Boots to look at the Maybelline lip balm but once I spotted this I knew I had to try it out. It's the 'Dr Rescue' by Baby Lips and although the packaging didn't really stand out to me but I thought I'd give it a go. So far, it has added soo much moisture to my lips. The smell is a bit off-putting because it smells like Vapour rub but the colour of it suits my skin tone very well :D


Now to take off my make-up I used to use the Lush 'Ultra-blend' cleanser which is a non-scented sort of moisturiser that when massaged into wet skin forms an oil that gets rid of any make-up but because I have combination to oily skin, I found this made my skin even more oily so I only use it when my skin is super dry. So then I've got to admit I went a bit lazy and started to use make-up wipes...I know I know I'm sorry :( but with work and stuff I found this way much easier than using the cleanser. But after a couple of months of using make-up wipes to 'remove' my make-up, I found my skin starting to gain more stupid spots than normal and after searching through blogs and YouTube videos, I wanted to find another way and found this:


This is the Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water has been raved about in the beauty world only recently as a cheaper alternative to the Bioderma which is supposed to be amaaazing :) With this cleanser you just need to get a cotton pad with this stuff on and wipe away haha!

Now I reallly needed a new Beauty Blender because it's sooo dirty even after cleaning it about 5 times and there's a chunk missing out of it because I accidentally dropped nail glue on it and it hardened and when I was using the blender that one part was scratching my face so I picked it off but there was a massive chunk missing so I thought It'd be best if I got a new one :)


When it comes to my eyebrows, I've only ever used an MUA eyebrow pencil which has a brush on the end but I decided to splurge on something that I'd heard great things about and that's the Soap and Glory Archery 2-in-1 Brow Filing Pencil & Brush. With a dry spooly on one end and the pencil at the other it looks promising :)


Only recently have I been looking for a good quality tanner that doesn't make you look like a walking cheese puff and this beauty caught my eye:



This is the Rimmel London Sun Shimmer Instant Tan and the major thing that made me want to buy this was because it's a matte tan so there aren't any glitter or anything that would make you look shiny which was what I was looking for. As it's a wash off tanner, I thought this would be the most versatile out of the tans that I've seen and was affordable as well but hopefully I'm not going to need any gloves to use it because I haven't got any :/

The last bit of make-up I bought was a foundation. Now it's not every week I buy a new foundation because I don't wear that much of it but I've been obsessing over L'Oreal True Match foundation but decided to try something new so I went for:



It's the new Maybelline Dream Flawless Nude foundation and although I tested the colour out, I think it might be a little bit too dark for me so if that's the case I'll have to get the colour underneath this one but the formula is very runny which I find more manageable.

Now when I bought these Saturday day time I was going out on the night and decided to buy myself some new clothes so from Miss Selfridge:

£16.00


£45.00

For my play suit I would have had a better picture of the actual thing but it's in the wash at the moment.

And that's all I bought from my shopping trip on Saturday sorry I didn't upload this on the actual Saturday but I went out on the night and everyday in between I've been suuuuper busy :D

Thank you sooo much!!

See you guys later.
