BEAUTY: LUSH MOTHERS DAY 2018



I know Mothers Day has been and gone but I thought i'd share a few of the Mothers Day products that I was kindly sent over, they unfortunately didn't arrive until after Mothers Day but a few of the items are still available on the Lush website but they will be gone very soon.

The first product is Mum in a Spin, OMG i'm super excited to try this. It has a lavender and Ylang Ylang scent so is perfect to help you drift off. It makes the water pink. I love the reusable bubble bars and think this is very similar.

The Antiope Naked Shower Gel is a orange scented product, which refreshed and rejuvenates the skin.

The Honey Bear massage bar has alot of really good reviews over on the lush website. It has a gorgeous caramel/vanilla scent. With cocoa butter and shea butter to leave the skin feeling super soft.

The Purple Loosestrife soap looks beautiful and would make a wonderful gift. It has a floral scent, a trio of Rose, Hibiscus and Lavender to create a lovely parma-violet scent. It's such a pretty soap that I almost don't want to use it.

The Madame President is a bath bomb, it has a grapefruit scent and antiseptic properties. It turns the water a gorgeous purple colour and the stars seperate and fizz too!

Citrus are doing it for themselves!  is a new marbled bubbleroon. It has a citrus scent of grapefruit and lemon oil.

As I metioned above the Mothers Day products won't be around for much longer, so if anything takes your fancy then check them out now! They also have some of the Mothers Day gift sets too so check them out.

BEAUTY: LUSH EASTER 2018


With Easter coming up next week I thought i'd share a few products from the Easter collection at LUSH, I haven't used any of these products yet as I've only just had chance to photograph them but i'm super excited to try them out and thought i'd share a few bits from the collection.


First up is the Which Came First? bath bomb. It's a really big bath bomb and a gorgeous pink and yellow colour. It has a citrus scent from the lemon and grapefruit. This smells gorgeous and i'm a big fan of citrussy scents so i'm sure i'll love this one.

Next is the Here comes the sun Naked Shower Cream. I'm a big fan of the Naked shower gels, I got my first one for Christmas and I love it. They lather up really well and are just lovely and creamy. This sounds amazing, I'm a big fan of bergamont and orange scents so this sounds right up my street. Avocado oil moisturises and tangerine and sicillian oils lift the mood.

The cream egg Bubbleroon is another new product for Easter. It has a mint chocolate scent!!! I imagine the mint scent will be so refreshing.

The Golden Egg Bath Bomb Melt is SUPER GLITTERY so don't buy it if you're not a fan of glitter. It has an orange and honey scent and cocoa butter and almond oils moisturise and soften the skin.

The Bunch of Carrots is one of my favourites from the Easter collection. I'm a big fan of the reusable bubble bars,I just keep them on the side of my bath and use them time after time, i'm still using a snow fairy wand from Christmas. They last ages and just a little goes a long way, you get loads of bubbles. The carrots have a citrussy scent perfect for spring.

The Carrot soap looks lovely. it has an orange scent and the fresh carrot and carrot powder refresh and brighten the skin.

I love the whole Lush Easter range, it's the perfect gift for somebody who doesn't eat Chocolate or why not treat yourself to some new refreshing and fruity products perfect for spring. I have some of the Mothers Day range to feature, It didn't arrive in time for Mothers Day but is still avaliable over on the Lush website so this will be live over the next few days.

CHRISTMAS: CHRISTMAS GIFT IDEAS FROM LUSH



It's Christmas which means LUSH have all of their amazing gift sets in store and online! I'm a huge fan of LUSH and some of their Christmas products are my absolute favourites! They have a huge range of gift sets and they vary in price so there is something to suit every budget.

I think you can't really go wrong with LUSH products as gifts. They do lots of different gift sets, or if your looking for a smaller gift you can buy an individual product such as a bath bomb or shower gel.
I know LUSH isnt for everyone but they actually do a huge range of products, even some very subtle ones with hardly any scent for people who don't like strong smells. They also sell massage bars and fresh cleansers so they have something for everyone.

I'm going to talk about a few of their amazing Christmas gift sets that are available this season. First is the Merry Christmas gift set, this includes 4 bath bombs so is perfect for any bath lovers. I love getting Christmas bath bombs, this set actually includes the Golden Wonder bath bomb which is one of my all time favourites because it' so pretty ( I haven't photographed it because it actually broke in the box but it's a gold present shape ) It creates lots of blue and yellow colour in the bath and has a really gorgeous citrus scent!  This gift set also includes the Shoot For The Stars gifts set which is a lovely blue bath bomb with gold glittery stars in, the Cocoa butter in this bath bomb leaves your skin feeling super soft and the gold glitter sits on top of the colbalt blue water like a midnight sky. I haven't tried Thundersnow before so i'm looking forward to giving that a try. Apparently it smells like peppermint which just screams Christmas to me so i'm so excited to try this one out. I bet it leaves you feeling so fresh. Finally the Christmas Sweater bath bomb which I also think is another new one, this one is a more spicy, gingery scent so another festive scent and it makes the water red, orange and yellow.

Next is the Snow Fairy gift set. Snow Fairy is an iconic Christmas Scent from Lush. It's super popular and I remember it used to sell out over Christmas because it was so popular. I think they hold better stock now to keep up with the demand but I know people stock up on it for the year as it's only around at Christmas. The set contains 4 Snow Fairy products including the shower gel, body conditioner, jelly bomb and reusable magic wand. The gift is perfect for a Snow Fairy fan. They also have a smaller set, Little Snow Fairy which contains the shower gel and jelly bomb.

Best Wishes is another gift set available this year and it includes Christmas Sweater bath bomb, a snowman bubbleroon and the Saucy Snowcake soap. This set has abit more variety of products so would be good for someone who hasn't tried any Lush products before but want's to give some a try.


The sets vary in price but they start off very reasonable. They are beautifully packaged in either a decorative box or wrapped in a lovely festive paper and finished off with a bow. They are a lovely gift idea. Check out the LUSH website to see what other sets they have and you can search by price making it super easy to stick to budget. The website is really informative so any product information / ingredients etc you can find everything you need.

It's Christmas!!! Christmas is nearly here so i've put together a few gift ideas. I will have a few gift guides going up on the blog over the next few days so keep your eyes peeled for those. Today's post is gift ideas for the beauty lover in your life. 

Mad Beauty have a really good selection of gifts perfect for the festive season. I thought i'd include this advent calender in my gift guide as you get lots of different gifts inside. I think this would be a really cute gift for a younger sister or friend. Be sure to check out Mad Beauty as they have loads of really cute gifts over on their website. They also stock lots of Disney goodies and they're products are a really affordable. 

Next is this gift set by Evolve, they are an organic beauty brand. The set includes their best selling Hyaluronic Serum and Radiant Glow Mask. I really like the packaging and think this is a lovely gift set for someone who loves their skincare. Evolve beauty is a lovely brand, i've used their products before. 

I love LUSH and I always get lots of Lush goodies for Christmas, I think they are a great gift idea. Everyone loves abit of Lush, it's a great gift idea for him or her. Lush have a huge selection of gifts, i'm actually going to do a separate blog post of a few of the Christmas Gift Sets that Lush have to offer this year. I thought i'd include the Little Snow Fairy gift set as it's one of the smaller sets, it's really afforable at £11.50 and contains two products, a 100ml bottle of Snow Fairy Shower Gel and one of the new Snow Fairy Jelly Bomb.

This Mandara Spa Lip Butter Trio is only £4.50 so really affordable, you can pick one up from Sainsburys I think this would be a fab stocking filler or secret santa gift. 

Neals Yard Remedies have lots of amazing Christmas Gifts this year. They have lots of sets that include a range of different products and vary in price. I've included these bath salts. I love the packaging, the little blue pouches and wooden scoop are lovely and would make a really nice gift. The Lavender bath salts are perfect for someone who struggles to sleep and needs to relax and unwind before bed. 

Neal and Wolf have some fab Christmas gift sets to choose from. I love the Ritual Collection as it contains the Neal and Wolf Ritual Shampoo and Conditioner which is one of my favourites. I loveee the scent it's amazing. I've used a few products from the Neal and Wolf Ritual range and have really liked the products. Neal and Wolf also have a huge range of different hair care products such as this hair oil.

This Urban Veda gift set is a great way to try some of their products, they have a huge selection of products and gift sets to choose from so there is something for everyone. Check out their Christmas gift sets here and find out all about Urban Veda natural skincare. Again the sets vary in price so theres something to suit any budget.

How cute is this packaging! Bilou is a really afforable brand. They have a range of body sprays and shower foams and have some amazing scents for example, Coco Cocktail which smells like holidays and Pina Coladas, Fizzy Berry and Cotton Candy. The Coco Cocktail body spray smells so good!! I really like the packaging. I love the quirky and fun text and colours. These would be a lovely stocking filler. 

I love buying people perfume and aftershave, check out my latest blog post featuring a couple of fragrances that i've picked out from Fragrance Direct. Head over to their website to browse a huge range of fragrance, it's so easy to find that perfect fragrance. 

I thought i'd include these handcreams as my hands always get really dry this time of year. I love getting decent hand creams for Christmas. The Crabtree & Evelyn hand cream is really good and they have lots of different scents and sizes. 

Have you started your Christmas shopping yet? What kind of gifts are you buying this year. Are there any products in my gift guide that you would gift for the beauty lover in your life?
