Massive Halloween/Christmas Lush Haul 2015

My favourite time of the year is definitely Autumn, when the leaves turn brown and we can wear dark red berry lips. But one thing that excites me the most is the Lush Christmas collection which comes out in October! In the Autumn/Winter months it can get so cold so what's better than taking a bath using Lush? As soon as the new collection was released I literally raced to my local store to give everything a sniff! I bought quite a bit of stuff....

All this was within 2 trips to Lush.. my bank account is dry as a bone.

Beauty/Skincare Wish List

Recently I've been eyeing up so many beauty & skincare products but at the moment I have got literally no money. This is the problem with beauty, there is absolutely thousands of products to choose from you could spend so much money! I'm saving up my money so I can hopefully buy a things which are on my wish list.

• Lush BB Seaweed Fresh Face Mask - I've previously used the Cupcake mask but wanted to try a different one. BB Seaweed has fresh seaweed, ground almonds, rose absolute and aloe vera to sooth the skin which sounds so great. Also has kaolin which removes any excess dirty or oil on the skin which is what my skin needs! 

• Sleek Face Form Palette In Fair - Sleek is one of my favourite make up brands, I have quite a few of their products and have never had a problem. I've been eyeing this up for ages and I've heard so many raving reviews on this. It contains a highligher, bronzer and a blush.

• Makeup Revolution Blush Palette In Sugar And Spice - Makeup Revolution are a very popular yet inexpensive brand lately, 8 blush shades for the price of just £6, you seriously cannot go wrong. Also, some of the shades look great for highlighting too.

• Benefit High Bean - Benefit are one of my favourite brands. My mum has the mini high beam and I'm always stealing it because I love it that much! It shows I need to buy my own lol. 

• Barry M Speedy Nail Polishes - These have only recently been released but what caught my eyes were the colours! I love pastel colours and they look gorgeous for spring/summer! And they're speedy at drying! So that's a big bonus.

• MAC Studio Fix Powder - I've wanted this for a long time now. Sometimes I really don't feel like wearing a liquid foundation, especially when it's hot weather. This looks great as it gives great coverage for a powder, it is kinda pricey just for a powder though.

• Lush Ro's Argon Body Conditioner - This is Rose Jam scented and it's one of my fave lush scents! My mum has a small pot of this and if I'm lucky she'll give me a bit, it's so soft on the skin it's unreal and the smell is to die for, I need the big pot in my life!!!

• MAC Lipstick in Brave - This lipstick looks gorgeous, whenever I go to Mac I always pick this up and have a quick swatch. Whenever I buy another Mac lipstick, this will be it! It's pretty similar to Velvet Teddy which is very popular. 

• Benefit Hoola Bronzer - I need this bronzer in my life, I've heard raving reviews about this bronzer especially for us pale skin folks, bronzers I have used in the past have always been orange or just way too much on my skin but this looks just right for me.

Lush Cosmetics Cupcake Face Mask Review

Hello everyone, today I've got a review of the Lush fresh face mask, Cupcake. Lush is one of my favourite companies because 1. They use fresh natural ingredients and 2. They don't test on animals! Whenever I go into Lush, the smell of the bath bombs just leads me over to that area of the shop so sometimes I never really have a proper look around at all the other great stuff they sell. I have heard great reviews about all their fresh face masks, especially for teenage skin, Cupcake. So kindly my mum decided to buy this for me which I was really grateful for as I had been wanting to try this mask ever since I read reviews on it, and smelt it! It smells really great!

When the mask is on my skin, it feels tingly because of the peppermint, but it feels tingly in a nice way?? Lol! It's like you can feel the mask working on your skin! It smells like chocolate but has a strong scent of peppermint! It has rhassoul mud which cleanses and softens the skin which I definitely agree with, my skin feels so clean and soft after using this mask, my skin has never felt so soft! It also really helps to calm down any redness on the face, my face gets quite red as i'm a red head.

It also includes linseed infusion, cocoa powder and fair trade vanilla absolute.

Personally, I like how thick the mask is because you don't have to use loads to cover your whole face, this is the small tub and I've had 4 uses out of it and can probably get another 2! (These pictures where taken after 3 uses!) This pot is the smallest they do for masks. 

The only downside to this mask is that because it's thick and brown, it's messy to get off! Most masks are messy to get off so this doesn't really matter to me much! Overall, I think when my little tub runs out i will purchase another one! Or maybe I try a different one :) I have posted a few photos below, sorry the quality isn't very good! 

Also, because of the fresh ingredients in this mask, it needs to be put in the fridge! Also, it expires after 3 weeks, so make sure you use all your mask in that time period! 

Thank you for reading!

Fashion/Beauty Haul!

Helloooooo everyone :) I hope you're all well.

Recently I've been shopping and I've bought a few things so I thought that I'd make a blog post about some stuff I bought. I love reading/watching other people's hauls I always find them so interesting and want so much stuff they have! :-) x

As it's now autumn and winter is coming soon I needed some more long sleeve things such as jumpers but not big fluffy things if you know what I mean? So I recently picked up some different ones, I love what they all say on the front!!

Full Time Fashion Blogger I LOVE THIS! I have seen this sooo many times when I went in River Island but I never wanted to  spend £25 on it :| but it was now in the sale for £12!! So I knew I just had to get it:) I mean come on, full time fashion blogger?! It's so me haha!! I also love how the fashion is a pink background making it stand out more! So this was just £12 from River Island.

Nothing To Wear: I also LOVE this omg. Nothing to wear describes how I feel everytime I look in my wardrobe yet there's clothes there. This is such a great jumper which you can literally throw on with any bottoms on as it's white and goes with anything! Something which is also great to lounge around in :) I got this from New Look and I'm pretty sure it was either £10 or £12, but i'm not sure sorry!

I picked up 3 Barry M original polishes and a glitter polish too, these were actually on buy one get one free which was amazing tbh! I'm actually obsessed with nail polish I never leave the house without a colour on my nails, I hate the way they look bare. Anyway these colours are all so beautiful, the first two are pinks but the photo doesn't do the pink glitter one justice it looks red on the photo! The other two are purples great for Autumn! L-R Shocking Pink, Ruby Slippers, Berry Cosmo and Vintage Violet. They're normally £2.99 each.

Next I went to Lush and whenever I go there I just have to get something.. haha!! The lush shop smells amazing so why not ;) Anyway I got Candy Mountain Bubble Bar which is £2.75 and Shoot For The Stars which is £3.50. Candy Mountain smells absolutely AMAZING, it's a very sweet girly smell so if you like sweet smells, this is for you! It's also glittery which makes it extra cute. Shoot For The Stars has got also a nice smell but it's not sweet, I recently used this before writing this post so I can't remember the smell much sorry! But it made my bath a really dark midnight blue and it has PINK inside which I didn't expect, also it's full of glitter and little stars!!

I picked up this L'oreal lipstick in Pure Red by Eva. I've never really owned a red lipstick because I've always felt like I look stupid in a colour like this, but I tried it on and I really liked it, especially now it's Autumn and Winter next it's a really nice red. It looks more bright in the photo but it's darker on my lips. I got this from Boots for £6.99 and they're doing a 3 for 2 on all L'oreal products :)

I hope you've enjoyed this post as I enjoy reading everyone elses about their hauls and stuff they've bought recently, so have a great day, thanks! :D
