lush, lush

Let me first say that lush is my life. I shop there all the time and get a lot of things there aposed to places like bath and body works.

So yesterday I when down to my local mall with my friend and got a soap. The one I got was called 'honey I washed the kids'. 

I used this soap and absautly loved it! Its creamy and feels great! But my favourite part of this soap is the sent. It smells sweet like honey and has a hit of a lavenderish snet. This soap is now my all time favourote soap from lush. And of course favorite soap in general.

Davids tea, tea eggs

These are the davids tea, tea filled eater eggs! I love tea and every thing cute so when I saw them I couldnt help myself to buy it. The light blue egg is filed with the tea chocolate rocket which taste like, possibly earl gray tea with chocolate in it. The green one is filled with mint chocolate rooibos which I love so very much. Its a mint tea with chocolate in it! I love it! The yellow one is filled with the tea forever nuts. This tea is obviously not a chocolate one like the other two but it is a very yummy tea. It has almonds in it along with apple, cinnamon and beetroot. I like this tea but I think this tea is more of a autumn tea in my opinion. Maybe you'll try out these teas?

Little lip gloss haul

Hello there,

Just the other day I went down to my local high street/drug store with a few of my friends. As you should know spring is just around the corner! So as I was walking around the store I couldn't help myself but to walk into the make up section. Something that helped me chose the items I got were that I had read some were that this spring glossy lips are the trend. The items I purchased are, (listed left to right) Burt's bees apricot lip shimmer, Revlon super lustrous lip stick in 674 coralberry, Revlon colorburst lipbutter in 080 strawberry shortcake, NYX butter gloss in BLG05 crème brulee, Revlon colorburst balm stain in 001 honey douce, and Rommel London apocalips lip lacquer in 401 aurora.

The first thing mentioned on the list above is the Burt's bees apricot lip shimmer. Well because its Burt's bees it is all natural, which I love. As you can see in the image displayed above it is quit sheer and gives a tint. Also while moisturising which I look for in every lip product. I also love how it is minty and keeps your lips soothed at all times. The packaging is so cute, (as is most Burt's bees products) which I think is a plus. 

The Revlon super lustrous lip stick. I honestly love these lip sticks. They glide on so smooth a and have so many beautiful colours. I whent for a coral one, well considering the name pretty obvious. I honestly don't know why but I don't own a coral lip stick considering it is my favourite lip colour. I have balms and stains but I don't have a stick, crazy right. This colour really did catch my attention mixed in with all the pinks and nudes. Its such a beautiful coral colour and I used it right after I bought it! Even if you usely don't go for Revlon products I highly advise you to get the super lustrous lipsticks. There so smooth and long lasting and I absolutely love it! I got the gloss one but I'm not sure if there is a matte one.

The Revlon lipbutter was pointed out to me by my friend telling me good things about this product. She told me that it was a sheer lip stick, which was 100℅ true. They glide over your lips like skates on ice and have a very pretty rang of colours. Like I said they are tinted and they also do moisturise. Some thing I like for some reason is that unlike other lip stick like products, they do not have a droplet type shape at the top but a ovale shape. Who knew!

 
This NYX product is my first. I know right I don't even know. It seems everyone has NYX products. So when in the store I picked up a NYX lip gloss. The butter gloss dosent have the world most self explanatory name, So let me tell you how it is. This gloss is quit a pigmented gloss and goes on Luke any other gloss. As for this gloss is thicker then most glosses I Was so happy to see when I put it on it wasn't sticky! These glosses stay on for a long while but when time to come off they will easy be taken off.

I have never bought a Revlon lip stain and when I did I just wanted to get so many more! I had got a light pink colour and I quit like it. There like giant crayons so I find them very easy to hold and the shape of the tip of it has a cone shape making it easy to apply. They also are very minty and sooth your lips. And of course they also have gloss to it. And with this product it is a balm stain so while moisturising it stains so u don't need to check it because it still leaves colour! 

 
Now the last but defently not least, the Rimmel London apocalips lip lacquer! Let me just say its the best floss I have tryed. Even though I dont invest in a lot of glosses, I really love this one! Its super pigmented so thin yet so much colour and lasts so long! It goes on super easy and you don't need much product since its so pigmented! Let's just say its easy to put on, pigmented and lasts so very long! Favourite lip gloss I have got. I highly advise you to get on i f your looking for a gloss with the same criteria as for what I just explained. I strongly advise you to go and purchase the apocalips lip lacquer!

Hope you enjoyed reading! Until next Time, 

Mina

The Body Shop travel size body butter review.

Hello there,

As for most of you reading this you probably didn't know this but i am a huge fan of the body shop. I have quite a bit of products from them but i Most be honest with you, I only have three travel size body butters. I had always received and purchased the large ones and i still have them laying around my room. I love getting the large ones but i like getting the smaller ones better now for so many reasons. first of I don't have to lug around a big container in my hand bag or travel bag if I'm going some were, you can just slip it in your bag. just the fact that there small. the larger ones never did fit in my bath room cupboards, so i would have to go out and get some boxes to put them in. I like to now purchase the mini ones now just n case after a while i start to dislike the smell. when that would happen with a big one they just sat in a box, which is a total waste. 

At the moment i only have three because recently i finished a bunch. The three i have are, sweet lemon, coconut and Moringa body butter. I personally don't like the Moringa one for the fact that it has too much of a fake flower smell. But since I purchased it in a small box, its not going to be a big waste. My all time favourite one is the strawberry one but at the moment i have run out!  the one that is my favourite in the small bunch i have right now is the coconut one which i have both a mini and a large one.

I personally like the body butter since after applying you don't have a wet feeling every were like lotions do as well as soaking into your skin quite quickly. they also have wonderful smells, that aren't 'artifishal' like and smell like real fruits.
I use these body butters every night and sometimes in the morning too. i feel that after appliance that my skin feels automatically smother even if i have super dry skin that day.

Oh and this. i popped into my local mall the other day and couldn't resist. (and it was orange ahaha) It was on sale and smelled so good! and for the past few days this has been all Ive been using and as usual after use the body butters my skin feels so amazing!

Sorry for cutting this post short i got so much to do and i haven't blogged in a while. 

And If you don't already have the body butters from the body shop i highly advise you to purchase one. I know that they are not the cheapest thing in the world but they do smell amazing and they are totally worth it.

Hope you have a lovely day!

bloggers block/ reflective monday (its not monday)

Hello there,

I know I haven't published in quite a while. I've been buys with school, changing bedrooms and just the fact that i had no idea what to write about. as you can see the title of this post is 'bloggers block/ reflective monday' you may recognise the title from a popular blog, zoella. The other day i was reading her blog when I came across her blog post called 'Life updates and bloggers block', and also 'reflective monday'. In that post she just wrote out what she was doing at the moment ex. She had wrote about her reaching 1 million subbies on youtube an her trip to Florida. As my life is very boring since my blog is quite unpopular and how I'm still in school and a bunch of other thing, I'm just going to write about anything...

As you know just the other day it was Christmas! I was very pleased as the gifts i had received were marvellous! I'm also a little sad and happy about Christmas being over. I'm going to miss all the decorations and people in the Christmas spirit. I'm also a little happy, ( i know right shocker right there!) all though i will miss a lot about the Christmas season I wont miss the traffic the packed malls and the Christmas parties keeping me up till 1am. Now I can go to sleep at 10 or 11pm and get a full 8 hours of sleep so the next day at school i wont fall asleep in science class! ( Its happened...) 

As I am counting down the days to Christmas 2014 I'm also counting down the days to Feb the ! I'm going to t the Imagine dragons concert!!! I know Imagine dragons isn't every ones cup of tea, but to me and my friends they are one of our favourite bands. As I am not going alone I will be going with a group of  friends, Emily, Gabby, Julia and Aya.

( there instagrams Emilies: http://instagram.com/_eeemmmiiii Gabbies: http://instagram.com/gabriellacuzz Julias: http://instagram.com/horchxta )

Well now I cant think of any thing more to write. Thanks for reading! Hope you have a great day!

Ways to get into the Christmas spirit

• decorate your room! go on pintrest or were every you go to get ideas on decorating and decorate the crap out of your room, house, apartment were ever you want!
• Turn on some Christmas music! from 'all I Want For Christmas is You' to 'Chestnuts'! ( And sing along if you want!)
• Bake a batch of Christmas cookies! it doesn't have to bee cookies but something christmasey!
• I know this will not be for every one but, go to Starbucks and get a Christmas drink! I think with the red Christmas cup and the hot drink your drinking makes me feel a little more involved with Christmas
• Buy an advent calender or make some count down to Christmas 
• read some Christmas books. there a wide variety, fro the grin to the night before Christmas, from a Christmas coral to the polar bear express!
• Get out of the house! go down to the mall and pick out something christmasey! breath in the crisp winter air!

Hope this helped,

winter make-up

Hello,

If you didn't already know this years winter make up look is pretty similar to falls look.

 The trends are nude or bold lip colours but not pinks and orange's but red and fuchsias. 

For eyes, neutral eye shadows (if any at all) are best, and of course winged eye liner. ( i would chose the naked basics pallet since the colours and nice and simple)

For face the flawless skin is back in, make sure you don't go crazy with bronzer and blusher and just focus on covering the redness and blemishes.

And always make sure that your make up isn't  bad colour for winter. for winter like i said don't go for bright colours, but if you still wanna go with a bright make up look go for a silver.

Hope this helps,

Mina
