A Small Lush Haul

Hello Lovelies, 

Last week I had a lovely day shopping with Hayley from Haysparkle and Dee from Dee's Beautiful Life and although I hadn't planned on buying a lot I did end up getting a few bits. I love reading haul posts so I thought I would share with you some of the things I bought. Today I am going to share with you what I got from Lush. They have an Easter Collection at the moment and before we even went there I knew I wanted to try some things from their Easter Collection. 

Straight away I was drawn to the Bunny Bubble Bars, they smell like Lush's Creamy Candy Bubble Bar which I love and I couldn't resist getting two.

 Bunny Bubble Bar  - £3.25

I also got a Fluffy Egg Bath Bomb, that smells quite like Lush's Snow Fairy, so I had to try one.

 Fluffy Egg Bath Bomb - £2.95

The Dragon’s Egg Bath Bombs aren't part of the Easter Collection, but I haven't tried one before and I really liked the smell of them, so thought I would give one a try. 

 Dragon's Egg Bath Bomb - £3.25

I wanted to get the Bunch of Carrots Reusable Bubble Bars, but when we went they had sold out. Luckily when I went back to Lush a few days later they were back in stock so I got some then. These are like the Bubble Bar Wands and are reusable so I think are really good value for money. They have a kind of tropical scent and I can't wait to try these.

Bunch of Carrots Reusable Bubble Bars - £5.95

If you haven’t seen Lush’s Easter Collection then next time you are near a Lush Store make sure you have a look!

What are your favourite things from Lush's Easter Collection?

Thanks for reading :)

Bloggers Love..... Beauty Bar Event

Hello Lovelies,

I've had a busy but really lovely week this week that started with a visit to London on Tuesday with the lovely Rach from Sunshine and Sparkles. We spent the afternoon shopping on Oxford Street and in Covent Garden and I particularly loved browsing the beauty halls of Selfridges, Debenhams and John Lewis. In Selfridges a lovely lady on the Illamasqua counter offered to show me some of their products and I loved the finished look, especially the eyeliner. I don’t wear eyeliner like this much, but I want to try and wear it more often because I loved it.

I was very restrained and I only bought a couple things. I got two Blackberry Bath Bombs from Lush, some gorgeous sparkly star earrings from Oasis and some Philosophy Sweet Fluffy Cupcake Shampoo, Shower Gel & Bubble Bath. This is the first Philosophy Shampoo, Shower Gel & Bubble Bath I have tried and it smells amazing and it a lovely shimmery blue colour and I can’t wait to try it.

At 6 o'clock we went to the Bloggers Love..... Beauty Bar Event at Penthouse London. I hadn't been to a Bloggers Love... Event before because from where I live it takes almost 3 hours to get to London, but when I got the invite to this one it looked really good so we decided to go and make a day of it. 

When we got there one of the first things I noticed was the view, we were on the 8th Floor and the view of London at night with the London Eye and Big Ben lit up was amazing, especially because I wouldn't normally get to see London from so high up.

At the Beauty Bar Event each Brand had a little space around the room and the Brands that were there were:

The Make Up Bullet
Yumi Lashes
Herra Haircare
Artdeco
Eve Taylor
My Treat Card
Argentum Apothecary
ARK Skincare
La Cure UK

Everyone was so passionate about their products and it was a pleasure talking to them and discovering new brands and products I hadn't heard of before. One of the lovely ladies representing La Cure UK gave me a lovely hand massage using La Cure UK Papaya Body Butter which smelt amazing and left my hand feeling really smooth and hydrated. 

Below are a few photos from the Beauty Bar Event.

All the Brands were very generous and I came home with some treats that I can’t wait to try out.

Thank you Bloggers Love..... for inviting me to this Beauty Bar Event and I hope to be invited to more in the future :)

Did you go to this Beauty Bar Event? Have you been to any Bloggers Love..... Events?

A Little Beauty Haul

Hello Lovelies,

Today I have a little haul post for you. I love reading these sorts of posts and I ended up getting a few beauty bits at the weekend, so I thought I would share with you what I got.

A friend of mine is getting married in August and decided she wanted to do her own makeup for her wedding, so on Saturday we went shopping for products for her to use to create her wedding day look. I hadn’t planned on getting anything for myself, but I ended up treating myself to a few bits :) We also came home with a few samples and I love nothing more than getting a lovely little sample to try.

Here is what I bought......

Debenhams had 10% off beauty and from there I got the Urban Decay De-Slick Makeup Setting Spray. This is 30ml and was only £9, so with 10% off was only £8.10, which I thought was a bargain. I have seen a couple of reviews of this and was intrigued to try it. The lady on the Urban Decay Counter convinced us this works really well at keeping your makeup in place all day and we both bought one of these.

I also got from Debenhams the Benefit Skincare set, which includes Foamingly Clean Facial Wash (8.9g), Moisture Prep Toning Lotion (8.9ml), It's Potent! Eye Cream (3g), Total Moisture Facial Cream (8.9g), Triple Performing Facial Emulsion (8.9ml) and Refined Finish Facial Polish (8.9g). This was £12.50, so with the 10% off it was only £11.25. I am really enjoying trying different skincare products at the moment and haven’t tried any of Benefit’s, so I thought this would be a good way to try them. 

I got the Benefit Porefessional from House of Fraser. I love this product and still have some left, but a lovely lady on the Estée Lauder Counter in House of Fraser gave me a £10 off voucher to be used against one of ten selected products and one of them was Porefessional, which meant I got this for only £14.50, so I couldn't resist getting it.

I love Lush products and we spent a while browsing Lush and as always there were so many things I wanted to get. I resisted though and just got a Creamy Candy Bubble Bar and a Butterball Bath Bomb. I have used both of these before and really like them, especially the smell of the Creamy Candy Bubble Bar.

My friend wanted to get a couple of MUA’s Power Pouts and because Superdrug currently have an offer of 3 for 2 across cosmetics, she got me a Power Pout in Runway, which is the colour I wanted to try next. I already love MUA’s Power Pouts and red lip products, so I am sure I will love this.

Here are the samples I got......

We were looking for a foundation for my friend to use on her wedding day and tried a few different one. I came home with a sample of MAC Matchmaster Foundation in shade 1.5, Benefit Hello Flawless Oxygen Wow Brightening Makeup in shade Believe in Me - Ivory and and Estée Lauder Double Wear in shade Ecru. The ladies on these counters were so lovely and helpful. I haven’t tried any of these samples properly yet, but from when I was colour matched to them, I think my favourite one will be the Mac one.

I got the Badgal Lash Mascara from the lovely lady on the Benefit Counter when I bought Porefessional. I have tried this before and it’s not my favourite mascara but I love little mascaras like this as they are perfect to keep in your handbag.

When I bought the Benefit Skincare Set the lovely lady at the Benefit Counter in Debenhams gave me a little sample of Porefessional and Triple Performing Facial Emulsion to try. 

If you have tried any of these, I’d love to know what you thought of them.

Thanks for reading
