It's A Shower Thing.

Whenever we think of LUSH we probably think about the beautiful and wonderful smelling bath bombs, however I've fallen in love with so many other areas of the lush product range and my newest obsession is the shower gels.

LUSH Bath Bomb Haul.

 As you can probably tell from the title of this post, I went a little crazy in LUSH recently and bought a bunch stuff I haven't tried before, mostly bath bombs but a bubble bar and a bath oil snuck in there too!

This was quite a large haul for me but I really wanted to invest in my bath time. I've been enjoying some home yoga recently and relaxing in a bath afterwards is amazing and really helping me sleep.

So what better excuse to enable myself into a cheeky LUSH purchase immiright?

A Foot Pamper For Tired Tootsies.

Lets talk about feet. I always forget to look after my feet, which is silly really to say they do all the work! I've been making a real effort recently to enjoy a pampering bath once or twice a week, so I've incorporated a little foot routine into the bath to pamper my poor little tired tootsies.

LUSH Skincare Routine March 2016

If you caught my last Lush Skincare Routine you'll have known for awhile that I'm all aboard the Lush boat for pretty much everything self-pampering wise these days.

After heading to a recent Lush Event I spent some time one on one with one of the lovely staff talking about my skin. I've been using the Ultrabland cleanser since being kindly gifted at the last event and  have absolutely loved it, so much so that when I've eventually used it all up I'll be sure to buy another pot! It's slightly thicker than average, I work this into my face using a good layer including over my eye make-up as it doesn't irritate my eyes at all. I then take this off with a warm wet flannel and it leaves my face feeling really clean and moisturised. My friend Aimee even said she uses it as a moisturiser too, so this is a great all round product that I highly recommend!

So when I ran out of both my toner water and my moisturiser it was time to head back and find something new to experiment with. After talking with the lady, I've come to the conclusion that I have combination skin, meaning sometimes it can be dry and other times it's quite oily and she immediately recommended the Full of Grace Serum bar.

This is pretty self explanatory, its a serum in a solid bar form, you hold this in your hands until it warms up to the temperature of your body and then it starts to melt slightly. Then when you've got enough on your hands you just apply this to your face and make sure you've rubbed it in properly. As it's a serum I use this at night time as it takes a long time to sink into your skin properly, you could use this at any point but obviously you'd need to allow yourself the time. I place the serum back in the bag and it almost immediately sets again.

After applying my serum I use a new moisturiser over the top of it called Celestial. This smells amazing! My favourite scent in all the world is Vanilla and this smells of vanilla and almond, it's perfect. It's not too thick either, so it sinks it really nicely and doesn't leave your skin really sticky. I am really enjoying this moisturiser and it goes a long way, so I can imagine this lasting a long long time.

After using the combo of all 3 of these things my skin has been doing really well. It hasn't been anywhere near as oily or as dry, it seems to be fairly stable. It also seems to be helping keep my spots under control too, which is always a bonus right?! It also seems to be helping keep my make-up on longer too, which is something I always seem to struggle with.


Do you use Lush skincare? What products do you love? As I would love to hear your suggestions :)

Sunday Sitdown #6

Once again, its time for a little Sunday Sitdown and have a little catch up. Is it me or has the past 3 months just absolutely flown by? I can't believe we're 2 weeks away from April...seesh.

The past months I've been super busy on both the blogging and personal front. So this month I'll certainly be splitting this post into two!

LUSH Spring Event, Sheffield.

Spring is coming and with every new season, Lush bring out some gorgeous seasonal products. I was once again a very lucky lady to be invited along to the Lush spring event and I couldn't wait to get in there!

After a little introduction from the lovely Becki I headed around the shop to look at all the products, some of the spring stuff is super cute, I love the carrots, easter eggs and the adorable lady bird! There was plenty of mothers day products too with lovely gift boxes such as the one pictured below, they are still available in store until stocks run out :)

After looking around I headed over to the skin care area which is my favourite bit! After speaking through a few different products I added two new things to my basket, I'll be writing up an updated Lush skincare routine very soon, so keep your eyes open for that one.

I then headed over to play area! Today we were making the peoples favourite, The comforter, which I've never actually used before, so I was very excited. We were asked to take 2 handfuls, one of each colour and make them into sausages, you then twist the two around each other and then squash them down so it makes a swirled pattern. I had so much fun doing this and it smelt amazing the entire time!

Mine is on the right ^_^

Mine didn't exactly have the most amazing swirl in it but it would do, all we had to do was leave them 24 hours to set and then use them!

After this I headed over to the 'shower' station. Here I watched a couple of people have a consultation about some lovely body scrubs, shower gels and moisturisers! I saw and smelt the Yuzu and Cocoa shower gel which smelt just like chocolate orange and I couldn't help but add it to my basket, it also helps that my favourite colour is yellow!

After having a little chin wag over a drink and some snacks it was time to pay and head home, we were once again given the most generous goodie bag and I couldn't wait to have a play!



After waiting 24 hours for my the comforter bubble bar to set, the next evening I had a lovely soak in the bath, the comforter smelt amazing, even Nick commented on how nice it smelt. I used my new gifted face mask Cosmetic Warrior which smells like garlic, so not the most relaxing thing to smell in the bath but worked great on my skin. I can't wait to try the rest of the products I was gifted and let you know what I think of them, I think I'm going to use the Ladybird bubble bar next because she smells and looks great!

Let me know what products you are loving at the minute, as I would love to know!
I'm always up for some Lush suggestions!

LUSH: Catastrophe Cosmetic Face Mask First Impressions.

During a recent LUSH event I had the opportunity to make my own Catastophe Cosmetic face mask. It was a great little experience putting all the ingredients in and mixing it around and seeing it all blend together and not just in a pot when you walk around the store.

So when I got home from the event, I put the pot in the fridge and completely forgot about it for about a month, standard. So during an evening binge of Sex and the City I was rummaging around in the fridge for some chocolate and I caught a glimpse of it out of the corner of my eye and thought, it is time. I couldn't remember anything about this face mask, I had no idea if it was meant to be moisturising, calming, cleansing etc.

After scrapping back my hair, I went about slapping it on my face. The first thing you notice is how nice it smells, it just smells so lovely of the blueberries, which is one of my favourites! It was quite easy to slather on and smooth over my face.

Just so you know, the cute rating when this is on your face is -100, you look like something out of The Walking Dead...



It advises to leave the face mask on for 10-15 minutes, but I always leave them on for much longer. I think I left this on for about 45 minutes..or however long 2 episodes of Sex and the City are...

I wiped this off with a flannel and some warm water and it came off really easily, I didn't need to scrub hard or anything.



Afterwards my skin felt really clean and soft. The thing I noticed the most was that my spots and redness had gone down so much. I was actually really impressed by how much they had gone down, it's currently the morning after using it and my skin is still really calm.

I have one more use left in the little sample pot we got given but I can really see me re-purchasing this for when my skin is going mental and it needs some help. I think this would be a great one to use once or twice a week to help keep balanced skin or if you are having a major breakout or something.

Keep an eye out for more LUSH reviews in the future!

LUSH Sheffield Event.

A couple of weeks ago I was very kindly invited to the LUSH store on Fargate in Sheffield city centre to learn more about LUSH products, have a chance for a one on one chat about hair and skin with the staff and finally make some of the products ourselves, which is very very exciting!
