Lush Haul and Product Review

Until recently, I had never really been a big fan of Lush products, with the exception of the bubblegum lipscrub and the Snow Fairy shower gel which I love! However, since moving into my own place with my own bath, I have ventured into the world of Lush bath products and am wondering how I ever lived without them.

Candy Mountain Bubble Bar - £2.65
I have honestly never had a bath with so many bubbles, this bubble bar is great and worth every penny. I used probably 1/4 of the bubble bar which left my bath full the the brim with bubbles my bathroom smelling like a sweet shop. It's a good job this product can be used multiple times as I have to wait until Christmas time to repurchase - I will definitely be bulk buying this next year! 

Space Girl Bath Bomb - £2.25 
Definitely my favourite product from this review, probably because it smells and looks like a parmaviolet sweet (one of my favourites). It turns the bath water purpley-blue/ red and fills the room with a sweet fruity smell. It is one of the cheaper bath bombs and is great value for money. I will definitely be repurchasing this.

Snow Fairy Sparkle Massage Bar - £4.95
I'm a lover of the snow fairy shower gel and so had to try the Snow Fairy Sparkle Massage bar. I wasn't sure how to use it so I ended up using it in the shower as soap which was a big fail! I then read a few reviews and realised you were actually supposed to massage the bar onto your dry skin after showering.I tried using it the right way and loved it - it leaves the signature Snow Fairy smell on your skin all day and is really moisturising. It is a bit pricey for its size but it is the smell is amazing and it is a fun treat.

Rose Queen -£2.75
This rose-scented bath bomb leaves your skin silky smooth and smelling great for hours. As this fizzes in your bath, it turns the water a baby pink colour and releases flower buds and petals. If you don't have much time to clean your bath afterwards, I wouldn't recommend buying this product as I spent a good five minutes after picking out the leftover flower buds. The scent was amazing however I don't think I will repurchase this product - I am not a fan of floating flowers in my bath water.

I am yet to try the Tisty Tosty Bath Bomb and Dreamtime Luxury Bath Melt so stay posted for a review of these products. Let me know which Lush products are your favourite :)

Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish Review

Like most girls, I am in search of the perfect skin care routine - It is what first attracted me to the world of blogging - so I thought it would be ideal for my first post to be about skincare.

After reading endless skincare blogs and watching countless YouTube video reviews, I decided to take the plunge and buy the Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser, and I am so very glad I did! I have dry/combination skin and this works perfectly for me. The muslin cloths remove any excess dead skin cells and leave my face feeling soft and smooth without having to use a harsh exfoliator.


I have never been great at keeping to skincare routines, mainly because I'm very lazy, but now I have a found a cleanser that works really well for me, I actually enjoy cleansing and keeping to my skincare routine! I would definitely recommend this product to anyone who is in search of a great cleanser.It is a bit pricey at £14.75 for a 100ml starter kit, but in my opinion, it's worth it as the results are fantastic!

Let me know what your favourite skincare items are as I am always keen to try new things
