Lush Haul

I went for a lovely little shopping trip with my mum the other day. I say little, I don't really mean little haha. My mum does actually share my love for Lush, so we walked in the door and it was honestly like we were just let lose of a lead... I must of gone around the shop around 6 times, just to make sure I didn't miss anything. Also, I have written a Lush post before, which was March 2016, how crazzzzy!

Cupid Bath Bomb - This is the one item I actually got from the Valentines collection. It screamed out to me, because it looks so pretty, the design is just too cute! I'm not too sure on the scent if I'm completely honest, but it looks nice so doesn't matter does it? Hm. 

Butterball Bath Bomb - Like I have already mentioned, this is my all time favourite Lush product EVER (bold claim). I actually got 2 of these, yeah I love it that much. It just makes your skin so soft. If you don't like any colour or you don't want anything too strong scented, this is just a fab one. 

Ickle Baby Bot Bath Bomb - This is one I know and love also. Its just a great bath bomb if you just want something in your bath that makes you feel relaxed because of the oils, its got lavender oil, sandalwood oil and chamomile oil in. 

Rose Jam Bubbleroon Bubble Bar - This one is a bubble bar, so you crumble it under the tap and it creates loads of gorgeous bubbles. I have never used this particular bubble bar, but I do love bubble bars in general. I have always seen this one, and just not picked it up, no idea why. But we have changed that now. I just love the sound of this one, its got lots of oils so I imagine it to be quite moisturising and again, the design is just the cutest. I'm a sucker for maroons haha. 

The Comforter Bubble Bar - This one was featured in my last haul, and its one of my absolute favourites. It smells like blackcurrent to me, and I just can't get enough of it. This one lasts me quite a few baths as well because I just crumble a little bit under the tap and its bubble galore. 

Never Mind The Ballistic Bath Bomb - I have never used this one either, so I don't really have too much to say about this one. But I just love the colours, pink and yellow just are so bright and I can't wait to use this!

Hand Dream Hand and Body Lotion - If you know me I have awful hands, they get so dry in the winter and I just wanted something that was hopefully going to help them. I thought Lush was a great place because they have all natural ingredients. So I didn't want anything to set them off, because certain hand creams make them go worse and go very red and sore. 

Popcorn Lip Scrub - This is just a classic product, a lip scrub is something that really does remind me of my childhood because I used to use this when I was a young teenager. I was tempted to actually get 'the kiss' which is the Valentines limited edition one, but I couldn't smell that one much at all (I did actually have a really bad cold - not recommended whilst being in Lush). So I went for popcorn because it smells amazing. I just rub it on my lips, lick away the excess and apply some lip balm. 

Cupcake Face Mask - This was actually my second choice in face mask because I really wanted the catastrophe cosmetic face mask but the store I was in didn't actually have any left in stock, but the lovely lady who served me gave me some samples of it. Cupcake did actually draw me in because of 1. the name and 2. it looks like chocolate and me, I'm a massive chocoholic. The lady did also say that cupcake is the closest to catastrophe cosmetic. So I do hope its as great as catastrophe cosmetic because that is amazing, its filled with blueberries and makes your skin so calm and soft.

Figs and Leaves Soap - This was really my mothers fault, because we were waiting for our samples and we were by the soaps and it just went a bit crazy haha. We smelt literally every one (with a cold, its hard work haha) but we loved this one. It smells incredible I literally cannot explain the scent, apart from its very clean. 

Honey I Washed the Kids Soap - Again, blame my mum. I really liked this one because its very soft and gentle. Its gentle enough to wash the kids (hence the name) and it smells quite sweet, which is really up my street. 

I mainly love the famous bath bombs that they do, they are fab. I've never found one I don't like. At the moment in Lush they have their Valentines collections in, however looking at my products now, I didn't actually pick up many, or just one actually. For me, I just love their original products so much. Butter bear bath bomb for example is just my favourite Lush  product, because it leaves your skin super soft!

A Few Treats To Myself, From Myself

I basically live no where near a MAC store, which sucks as MAC is a brand which I love, and has loads of different colours, and just loads of pretty amazing products! So whenever I order from MAC, I do normally order a few things at a time, just because it would be a waste paying delivery for one item. (this is how I justify things to myself).

MAC Studio Fix Fluid Foundation in NC15

So the first item is the reason I needed to make this order. I changed my room around a few months back now, for my birthday. I got new furniture and gave the walls a few fresh coats of paint. So all of my things that were in my room previously, got moved into a spare room. Whilst this happened, my MAC foundation, got lost. I don't know how, I don't know where, and I was gutted. It had to be one of my more expensive foundations, it couldn't be a natural collection one for £1.99, it had to be one of my faves, TYPICAL! It is a foundation which I love, and I used to use quite a lot. Its got amazing coverage, so you don't need to use a lot of this product at a time. I have done a whole review on this foundation, where I tell you all my thoughts possible, so click here to read that one! Luckily my old one, was coming to its last few days, but still I have searched my whole house from top to bottom, and I can't find it. So I am very very happy that Studio Fix is back in my life!

MAC Mineralize Skin Finish Natural - Light

Next is a product which I have wanted for ages, I always go online and have a look at it, and never end up purchasing it, until NOW... It's not the most exciting product, well not for the majority of you reading this, but it is quite exciting to me, because I'm a sad 20 year old gal. MAC Mineralize Skin Finish Natural (light) is a product which I have always been confused about, because I have soft and gentle, and that is a highlighter, and I was always confused, if this is a face powder, setting powder, highlighter, does it have coverage? I just didn't know. But I think it's a setting powder, which does have a light/medium coverage, which is what I hoped. But I will report back to you.

MAC Pigment in Tan

MAC Pigment in Tan, again is a product which I have always wanted. Maybe not this particular colour, but I've always wanted to try a MAC pigment, purely because I love eyeshadow and I have heard great things about the pigments. This colour was hard to see what it was like online, but I had a google around, and I really liked swatches and pictures that I saw of this colour. In person, I think it will be gorgeous for fall/autumn. I would describe it as, a rose gold colour. Its browny, come orange, honestly looks gorgeous! I can imagine it making blue eyes pop, I have blue eyes, so I bloody hope so! 

Also, I did order this order from Debenhams and not MAC, purely for one reason... I wanted to kill two birds with one stone. I wanted to try something from Kat Von D, as its not available in the UK on Debenhams website! SUPER EXCITING. So I thought Debenhams do MAC also, so I basically was onto a win, win situation. 

Kat Von D Liquid lipstick - Lolita (original 1) 

This lipstick is the only product which I have tried (apart from my repurchase of foundation) and I literally slapped it on my lips about 2 seconds before starting this post. I can already tell you that I love it, and its going to be a staple everyday shade for me. It's that gorgeous shade I love, a MAC Mehr kind of shade. I obviously can't report back on staying power, because I have literally just popped it on. But the formula was easily applied, and seems really lovely.

Beauty Bay Haul

This is the first time that I have ordered off Beauty Bay. However, I know my boyfriend has ordered some presents for me from there, because I may of hinted quite a bit, haha. I ordered the products yesterday evening, and they arrived today! I'm not sure what time they came today, as I was out, but I came home at 4:30, and there was a little package waiting for me! How exciting.

The reason why this purchase happened was because, there was a few different products which I have been wanting for a while, and I really wanted some more new shinny makeup brushes, so I went to Beauty Bay because they stock Morphe. There are quite a lot of products here because, you had to spend £60 to get next day delivery and a free gift. So it seemed right to do this because, there are brands on there which the UK just don't stock and aren't easy to get (that I know of - let me know if different). I haven't tried any of these products, literally just some swatches on my hand, so I can't give a very good review on them, but these are the products I purchased from Beauty Bay. 

I have wanted the Louise Young LY34 brush for ages, it just looks so gorgeous and looks like it blends foundation is so quick, because it is huge! I normally use the Real Techniques Complexion Sponge to blend my foundation in and I used to use the Real Techniques buffing brush before that. So I am excited to try this brush!

This concealer I always see Carli Bybel use and it always looks amazing on her. She uses the concealer as her nose contour. I got one colour for contour and then one for my under eye highlight. I got the shade 'fawn' for my contour, which seems like a really good colour for me. I didn't want it too dark, Carli is a lot more tanned than me, so I tried to just go a few shades lighter than her. The shade I got in the concealer for under my eyes, is porcelain. However, I think this shade is gunna be way to light for me and its quite pink toned. I wish I went for a shade up. But because I can't swatch them, because it's online, that can't really be helped *sad face*. 

I got the Vita Liberata Self tanning gradual lotion as my free gift for spending over £60. Which I think is really cool, its a good size for travelling too (50ml). You get to chose what gift you get too.

The pigmentation of these eyeshadows is amazing, so pretty and sparkly!

Charlotte Tilbury Haul

As you may or may not know, but it was my birthday two/three weeks ago now OH my time flies! Anywho, I basically asked for a few of Charlotte Tilbury's makeup products. I have never used any of her makeup before but I've always seen it being raved about. So I was supper excited to open these on the morning of my birthday and I'm going to share them with you too, couldn't have you feeling left out, could we?

Colour Chameleon in Amber Haze
This product is actually the reason why this order happened, I asked my mum to buy it for my birthday because lots of people always rave about these, so I researched what colour I would like (on the website there is different ones for certain eye colours) even though I actually didn't really listen to that, rebel!! But my mum was ordering it for me and you had to spend a certain amount for free delivery, so thats when all this happened...

Luxury Palette in Golden Goddess
I didn't think I would love this palette as much as I do, but I love the palest shade, I use it pretty much everyday now as just a sweep of colour over the eyelid. I use the more smokey shades when I am going out for the evening or I'm just feeling super wild in the day time!

Hot Lips in Hot Emily
The lipstick was the hardest decision for me because I was thinking well I have soooo many lipsticks I don't really need another one at all. But I was thinking I wanted a very summery shade, and I did want a coral shade, and Hot Emily is the one I went for. I did actually wear this on my birthday... and obviously took a selfie with my balloon, so enjoy that (oh dear). But the lipstick stayed on all day, even through my birthday meal in the evening, this particular shade isn't matte but there are different finishes within the range I will leave a link to the website at the end of the post so you can go into your overdrafts!

Lip Cheat in Pillowtalk
I couldn't not get this lip liner, everyone raves about it, and I agree its stunning and amazing for every day, keeps your lipstick on longer or if I'm honest I like wearing it on its own. It is very similar to Rimmel's lip liner in eastend snob, so I would get that one just to save a bit of dollar!

Charlotte Tilbury is a brand which I find so interesting because its fun but so classy. The packaging of every product is just beautiful, and literally with every product I just didn't want to throw away the outer packaging because its just absolutely stunning. I did only get 4 products, but it's a luxury brand, therefore it does have a price tag. But I would completely recommend the eyeshadow palette, I always seem to reach for it and the new Hot Lips collection looks insane! here you go; http://www.charlottetilbury.com/uk/ have a nose on there!!
