Lush boxing day sale haul

Lush boxing day sale haul!

It seems like ages since I have written a blog post! With the festive season just done and having many laptop problems I have finally been able to write a new post and its one that I personally like reading/watching video's of and that is lush hauls! I espeacilly like it when the products are half price!!

Now I tried to get on the website all of boxing day but they had some major problems with their website so I left it for a couple of days, when I went back to the website there was only gift sets left.

The gift sets I got (left to right) It's Christmas time, Firecracker and Snow Flake Castle.

I picked up the It's christmas time gift set for the buble wand and to try the shower gel and hand and body cream.  

I got the firecracker becasue I wanted to try the Experimenter and the Intergalatic bath bomb, Im looking foward to watching all the colours go all around the bath! I also picked up the Snow fairy castle becasue I have never had any Snow fairy shower gel and there was none of the individual bottle so I bought the box set.

                                                      Aswell as the sale Stuff I picked up some fav's

                                                                          

It's my favourite bath bomb from Lush, its refreshing and it makes my skin feel smooth and hydrated. I picked up the Kinky hair treatment again because was amazing on my hair last time I used it! I also picked up the Dream time bath oil and it was really nice! It left my skin feeling hydrate and soft.

For next couple month I think I will be sorted for bath and shower products and that makes me very happy

Savers + Boots Autumn 2015

Savers + Boots Haul

I have recently run out of a few bits a bobs that needed replacing so I thought while I was in savers I would pick up some replacement.

Savers 

Dove Quench Absolute Shampoo and Conditioner

From Savers I picked up some new Shampoo and Conditioner, I have used the Dove  dry oil conditioner before and really enjoyed it so I thought I would try out this set. I picked up the set in Absolute Quench in shampoo and conditioner, they are intended for wavy and curly which I have and they also contain oils, so I thought that would be good for my hair because it is dry at the ends. The reason why I bought the set twice is because in most place the Dove hair ranges can be up to £6/7 but in Savers they were £2.89 so I got a two just in case they stop selling it and so I don't have to keep going back to Savers. 

Boots 

Boots Essentials Cucumber Facial Scrub 

I ran out of my face scrub and I wanted to try something new but my Skin has been a bit off lately so I went for one that I have had before and have liked  and its only £1.50 which is good for the price. I like this scrub because you can feel it , its not to gentle but its not to rough.
Here

Soap and Glory smoothie Star Breakfast Scrub
Now this was a treat for myself and to be honest it is my favorite scrub I have tried others. The smell is the best smell that I have ever smelt!  I prefer this one to the Body shop scrubs and other brands so I am so excited to have this back in my shower. it was £8 which is a bit of a treat but I love it!
Here

Champney's Products 

The Boots I was in  had some special offers on some Champneys Product so I picked up two products from them

Champneys Spa Indulgence Oriental Opulence Shower Cream

I love the scent, to me this is the signature scent of Champneys. It smells relaxing but sweet, its hard to descirbe but if you can smell do it! There's a different  offer online on Champneys product then there was to offer I got in store.

 Here

Champneys Spa Indulgence Distant Shores Shower Mousse

I have not smelt this scent before, its a different scent from the Oriental Opulence. I don't know to much about this product but according to the Boots website it has won an award. It might be a weird thing using a Shower Mousse but I shall report back.

Here

Tangle Teaser
Tangle teasers are amazing! I have never loved a hair brush so much ! I'm sure you have heard of them, this is my second one. I had my first one for three years and it was well loved so I think it was time to get a new one.

Autumn 2015 : Pamper Evening

Autumn 2015 : Pamper Evening  

Every now and again when you feeling pretty crappy you need a pick me up, this was the pick me up I was in desperate need of last week. I decide to make the   ever so difficult  decision to have myself a little pamper and show you guys the products I used. 

I started by Running myself a bath, I used the Milky bath Bubble bar from Lush, I really enjoyed this and there will be a review coming soon! 

While the bath was running I cleansed me skin with my favorite cleanser the No 7 Hot cloth Cleanser and apply the Exuviance Purifying Clay Masque  which I got in September You Beauty discovery  Box  . After applying the mask I relaxed in the bath watching YouTube video's.

I was so relaxed that I left the mask on for longer than suggested which slightly dried my skin out so I I used a lot of hydrating products  to put moisture back into my skin. I started using the Benefit moisture Toner , Superdrugs Radiance serum, The Body Shops Oils of life and then Benefits Total Moisture  and all of them combined did a great job of putting hydration back into my face. After finishing my face skin care I turnt my attention to my feet, I have been trying to show some more love towards my feet so I used Soap and Glory heel genius on my feet. Then finished of the evening by watching some TV until I feel into a blissful sleep.

What products do you use on a pamper evening? Also whats your favourite Lush bath product?

Lush Haul October : Its beginning to feel a lot like Christmas

Lush Haul October 

Its beginning to feel a lot like Christmas...

 Now I know its only October but my Christmas countdown has begun it is currently 81 days until Santa is on his away and I am just so EXCITED!! My Christmas countdown started at 90 days and every day that has gone past I have started to prepare myself for the most wonderful time of the year and what better way then visiting Lush..again....opps. Now I didn't pick up many Christmas products because the store I was in  didn't have all of them and I thought I 'd save my Christmas binge at Lush for November time :) but I got some Christmas bits. So I am going to dive in a show you what I got 

 Milky Bath

I had this one before so It a repurchases, I used the bubble bar a couple of nights ago and really enjoyed it. It will be in some future posts soon. So watch this space!

£3.75

Father Christmas

Its back again! Good old Santa is back and I love the smell of him. Now I cant remember if I have this Bath bomb before, I don't think I have but I m not sure. As soon as Halloween is all said and done this year I am going to put this in by bath and get even more excited about the festive season! This one has Citric acid, Cream of Tartar and Gardenia extract, now I don't know what that does for the skin and the benefits of those ingredients but it smells good! 

£3.65 

Star Dust 

This is the first time I have seen this, I don't know if its new this year, if you know please write a comment and let me know. It smells amazing and Vanilla and Rosewood oil which is A ok with me, I'd imagine because it smells so good it would be so relaxing in a bath. 

£2.95 

Snow Angel

Now I have only ever used two other Bath melts the Christmas hedgehog which was a part of last years Christmas collection and the Mango bath melt and only the Christmas hedgehog has made a great impression on me but unfortunately its not returning this year.  I bought this one because I love a bit of glitter and this bath melt is bigger than the mango melt so hopefully it will have more oils and I would feel more results on my skin.

£3.95 

Kinky Hair Treatment 

I have only tried a few hair products and out of all the ones I have tried  I am most excited about this one! The treatment says it good for curly hair and has extra virgin olive oil, Castor Oil  and Ylang Ylang oil which to me isn't the best smelling product but with all the good oil's it has in it I'm hoping its a  fav. I shall report back on this product. 

£6.50

What are your Favorite Christmas Lush products?

You Beauty discovery September box

You Beauty discovery September box 

This Box has barely bean in my possession for an hour and I'm already witting a blog post about it. The reason why I am so excited is because this is my first ever beauty box! I have known about You beauty boxes for a awhile now and I have always been tempted to get it because I have mostly good things about it and its also the cheapest beauty Box that I am aware of. So I toke the plunge and joined this month, I probably join a but late in the month  because not everything was available. How You Beauty works is that you chose 2 main products and then they fill the rest of box up with other products, the products I chose was the face and cream and the mask. The hydrating face cream was unavailable so I selected another. 

So lets get to it so I can show you whats in my box 

The Products are 

Make Up Sponge 

Chia Seeds- 75g 

Urban Veda soothing Cream-  50 ml

The Body Shop Oils of life - 7 ml 

Exuviance Purifying Clay Masque - 10ml

For £7 its pretty good, there is one full size product (The Urban Veda face cream) and many different samples included a food sample of Chia seeds I have not tried them before, I might try them in some yogurt. 

The sample I am most excited to try is The Body Shop Oils of life, I love face oils and I haven't tried a new one In a while so it would interesting to see how this compares to the other ones I have tried.

I'm very excitied to be trying some new products. I shall report back on these products, hopefully there will be  a few gems. As its my first beauty box I would love to know any box you would recommend that aren't to expensive

Lush Haul August 2015

Lush Haul 

I feel like Lush is more of a winter time treat and as the weather in UK is not the best a the moment I have been craving a bath so after work I dragged my feet to Lush and had a bit of a splurge. I got mostly Bath products I also picked up a face mask which is currently in the fridge and I'm a bit lazy at the moment to go and get it but no need to fear I will be doing a review on it shortly....... now let the Bath time treats begin.   

Avobath 

Now if you have read the blog about April/ May ish you would have known I went threw a Lush Phase after L bought me a Lush gift set, now this Bath Bomb was in that Gift set and I enjoyed it so much that I reviewed it on the Blog and also bought it again now for £3.35 you know I enjoyed this Bath Bomb if I bought it to use again! 

 Blackberry Bath Bomb 

This one I have has my eye on for a while but I have not allowed myself to indulge in Lush for a while, I almost didn't pick this up but once I smelt it I never doubted that it would go in basket. It smells amazing and has me very excited to use it!

This one cost £3.25

Karma Bubble Bar

Now the colour's in this one are just phenomenal, Now its a bubble bar, which saddens me because can you imagine seeing this dissolve in the bath with the mixtures of Blue , Gold and Orange. Hopefully even as bubble bar I will still get to see the amazing colours.

Now this one cost £4.25 (Expensive!! Now I am going to using this in tiny piece, got to get my £4 worth)  Now it says the fragrances are Orange and Patchouli. 

Milky Bath 

Now this one caught my eye when looking through The Lush app, I was very intrigued and so naturally when I went into the Lush store it went in my basket as soon as I saw it, now this also is a bubble Bar . Now the label seems to say that it will treat my skin and some the ingredients look like it might help put  moisture into  my skin,  now only time will tell .
This one cost £3.75.

I cant wait to try all of these and see and photograph all of them (especially Karma!)

Summer Empties 2015

Summer Empties  2015 

Now this is going to be a long post because as you can see I have a lot of empties to get through! so grab yourself a drink and maybe a snack and lets get to it !!

Hair Care 

Naked Shampoo & Conditioner 

This was my favourite sulphate free shampoo and I do enjoy the conditioner but when I used it this time it wasn't what I  remembered it to be and I didn't really like it so I don't think I would ever use it again 

Loreal Everstrong Shampoo

Now going from a sulphate shampoo I didn't like  to one that I do enjoy, it was good and I really  liked it. Some time with sulpahte free shampoos there not as a good but I really did enjoy this one and thats not the case for all  Sulphate free product. I would use it again. 

Batiste Dry Shampoo 

Its one of my favorite the only other one I really like is Touch of silver dry shampoo . I did a blog pot on Comparing batiste to Colab dry shampoo here . I will repurchase this again and soon. 

Boots ingredients Coconut and almond Hair mask 

Its not my favourite one , The herbal essence bee strong is my favourite. It was decent for what the product is and the price if you are on a budget I would try it but its not the best one for under £3/4. 

Dove Dry oil Conditioner 

I love this conditioner, I picked this up in savers for under £3 but in other stores it is over £5 which for me is expensive for only 250ml when I go to Savers next I will pick up both shampoo and conditioner. I am interested to try the whole line but I think I will wait for it to come on offer.

Body Care 

Dove  Body wash 

It wasn't anything special at first it was my sister but she thought it was drying out her skin so she gave it to me. I didn't find it drying, it was just like any other body wash but I will say it lavas  a lot!

Body shop crisp Apple body 

This was a christmas scent last year and it is one of my favorite scents and I'm hoping it comes back this year! if it does I shall stock up on it in the sale hopefully. 

Along came Betty hand cream 

Not the best hand cream but it was ok,  I wouldn't repurchases it or use it again.

Lush Sympothny for the skin 

It was ok, I loved the smell but it wasn't an amazing cream. I wouldn't repurchases it as it is pretty expensive.

Dior Perfume 

Skin Care 

No 7  Beautiful skin scrub 

This was my favorite scrub and I do use it and if its on No7 vouchers I will buy it again as the vouchers are back, I dont mind the Boots own brand but I do prefer this one 

Orgins spot treatment 

 I have only ever used a couple spot treatments this one worked well but I want to explore others before I call this  my favorite one or say it was a good spot treatment. 

Biotanics Facial oil

Its a good oil from the high street and the Biotanics branded is most made up of natural ingredients so its good if you like to use mostly naturally products. Its not my favorite high street facial oil but it pretty good.

Sorry we have been absent from the blog things have been really busy with random things but hopefully we will have more time in the next couple of months

Back to basics : Cleansing Lotion

   
Back to Basic : Boots Essentials Cleansing Lotion


                                                       

I don't use wipes and I haven't for at least 8 months, I have tried a handful of cleansing lotions, cleansing oils , cleansing  gels and  Micellar water an all have between £3 and about £10 which can be expensive so I thought I would try out a cheaper brand.

The cleansing lotion is currently £1.50 for 150 ml  but is apart of an offer 3 for £3 on Boots Essentials so its good if you are on a budget. I have used it for about week and I would say I'm less than a quarter  way through the bottle so it would last you at least a month depending how you use it.

First Impression
It smells good, it has the same sent of cucumber line from boots if you are fimilar with it, If you are not it doesn't smell as strong as a cucumber but strong enough to reconize the smell. The consistency is like a thin cream, its not the thicket I have ever tried but that doesn't bother. The packing is good in the sense that you can control how much comes out of the depending how hard you squezze it.

The Results
I normally double cleanse with two different cleasners but when trying this one and  I only used this one. To remove make up that I have worn the whole day  it would be off with two cleanses  but when it is  pretty fresh make up maybe cleanses  3 times just to get the last little bits off.  I enjoyed it, it has not irritated my skin, not left it dry and has caused any break outs. Over all I think its a great product.  I will definitely use this product again! I will finish the bottle and probably buy more when I have finished up all the cleansers I have up. I also would like to explore this line even more !
