Ok so this is my first Haul I’ve decided to write about and at the moment my obsession is Lush, after deciding to purchase the Dragon egg bath bomb from Lush last Summer and finally I went back during the Christmas holidays and bought some more Lush stuff, and since I’ve been hooked. Now every time I go into town I find myself going straight to Lush to buy some new things. So over the last month I think I’ve finally collected enough Lush products to do a haul, so here are some of the things I bought.

Rose Queen (£2.75) I got this out of the Rosie gift set that Lush sell and I have to admit I didn’t know what to expect from it, from the looks of it I thought all it would do is turn the bath pink, but when it came to putting it in, there were actual flowers inside of the bath bomb. The bath was so amazing and relaxing, It left my skin feeling very soft and smelt of Roses. Unfortunately I couldn’t take a picture of it because I have already used it.

  

Immaculate Eggception Pink (£6.95), this was part of my Easter present off my mam and dad, I haven't actually used it yet but one of the workers showed me a demonstration of it and I'm really excited to use it. This bath bomb is defiantly the most expensive but you can get 3 baths out of it. You can split the shell off into two and then you get another mini bath bomb in the middle.

Fluffy Egg (£2.95) I once again got this in my Easter box and haven’t used it yet but this smells incredible, it’s so sweet I honestly could eat it that’s how sweet it smells I can't wait to actually try it.

Rose Jam (£3.50) for how much this costs you get so many uses out of it as you can see I split it into the two halves and just crumble a bit into my bath, I got this out of the Rosie gift set which cost £15 pound and I have got around 2 baths already and I still have plenty left. If you get this you're definitely going to get a lot of use out of it.

Bunch of Carrots (£5.95) These are amazing they smell incredible and are so easy to use, you just swirl them in the water under the tap and they create loads of bubbles. They leave your skin smelling incredible and soft like every other Lush product. But for the price you get three carrots and you get a load of use out of them.

Amandopondo (£2.75) since I got this I have used this so many times and I can say that it’s definitely one of my favourite bubble bars. You get a lot of bubbles out of it and a lot of uses out of it. They also smell amazing it’s got a relaxing smell that can make you feel very calm, which gives an relaxing atmosphere.

Ro’s Argan Body Conditioner (£15.95) first of all I didn’t pay the £15 for it I got it in the Rosie gift set and it’s only a small tub. I have used it once and it was just a tester and I’m still unsure whether I like it or not. I admit it smells really nice and it does leave your skin really soft but, when I used it, it kind of left my skin sticky for a while, maybe it didn’t wash off properly but I’m not keen on it.

Dragon’s Egg (£3.25) I got this a while ago and of course it’s been used, this was the first thing I bought from Lush and it’s one of my favourites, because it looks quite boring and plain, but it’s the complete opposite. It actually turns your bath orange it’s quite a cool one to watch as it spurts the orange out, bubbles and fizzes a lot but this one leaves your skin soft and it leaves you covered in a light shimmer of glitter.

 Every single Lush product I have bought has had amazing results, the bath bombs always leave your skin smelling amazing and always leaves it soft and revived. The bubble bars do the same. Everything I have bought from Lush has always left my skin feeling soft and smelling amazing! The one product I do want to try is one of Lush’s skin care products; I would love to know how good they work.

So this was my Lush haul and review, I’ll hopefully post soon,

Shopping, Divergent and Nandos

So yesterday I had a day out with my mum, which I haven't had in a long time and it was really nice to finally have a mother, daughter day it was very fun and relaxing and the weather great the sun was out and it was pretty warm out. Which is showing that it is actually spring! And I'm praying that the weather will pick up and stay hot and sunny longer especially for the summer.

So as the title suggests I did go shopping, I ended up going to Silverlink where there are a few shops at a retail park. I ended up going into Newlook, H&M, Boots and Next.  I ended up only buying things from H&M, Newlook and boots and I spent £18 oops!. It may not seem like I spent much but I spent £35 on Saturday when I went into town. Here some of the things I bought,

Newlook (£12.99) this tops is quite unique it’s mixed materials. The front is black and I'm not sure what the material is but it’s very light, whilst the back is grey and it’s a jersey material. It’s quite plain and simple but at the same time it’s quite smart but casual.

Boot’s- L'Oreal Paris Skin perfection purifying micellar solution (£3.33)  boots have a deal on this at the moment where you save 1/3 on selected L'Oreal Paris skincare so this should have originally been £4.99 so it’s a good deal and I actually tried this as soon as I got home and one thing I can say is I’m not going to be using make up wipes any more. This stuff feels so much gentler on the skin. It took me two make up pads to remove my entire make up but I didn't use much of the solution. I think I’m definitely going to have to get some more of this.

 After killing  time in the shops and walking around it was finally time for us to go to the cinema where I got to see Divergent! I actually saw a trailer for this film when I went to see The Hunger Games Catching Fire and since then I have wanted to see it and I can definitely say it was just as good as the trailer makes it look. I even think it’s better than the Hunger Games. I mean the film does have that Hunger Games vibe to it, but I also think that it could be compared a little to The Host but that might just be my own opinion.

After the film (which was around 8pm) I was starving I didn't really eat much all day I had a small bowl of porridge in the morning and a Bagel for Lunch, and a small popcorn I was pretty hungry by 8pm, so I convinced my mum (more like flipped a coin) to go to Nandos. It was either this or Bella Italia so we flipped the coin and it landed on tails which was Nandos.

This was actually my first time at Nando’s so I went with the chicken breast fillet wrap and I had it medium spiced and it was amazing! I had a side of spicy rice on the side and of course I had to snap chat a picture of it and the restaurant  which is down below, but I was the perfect spice and perfect portion. The atmosphere in Nandos as well was just amazing it was so calm, but it was so happy and fun, the music was great and fitted well with the theme and I want to go back so badly it’s been less than a day and I'm having withdrawal problems.

(Sorry these photos were took off my iphone)

I eventually got home after a busy day and the first thing I did was take my makeup off and jumped straight in the shower and got into my PJ’s and since doing so I have sat in bed watching a bit of Buffy the vampire slayer, YouTube videos and doing nothing. But today has been an amazing day and I've loved the time  I spent with my mum since I never really get days together it was nice and I can't wait to have more days like this.

Six Form, College, University or Work?

So it’s that time of year where a lot of people are revising and about to do their exams in a few weeks including me, and the one thing I'm constantly being asked is what are your plans after you finish school? And in honesty I'm still not sure I don't know what kind of job I want. Do I want to be a journalist? A writer? Photographer? I have no idea and a lot of you are probably the same. Your probably being asked the exact same questions and you're being pressured in answering this question but in  you're just hoping to pass your final exams first and all I want to say is it’s ok not to know, there’s a lot of opportunities out there and it’s quite overwhelming.

You have so many opportunities do you go to six form? College? University? Or do you go straight out there and get an apprenticeships or a job? It’s confusing but all I’m going to say is do what’s best for you. If you're not ready to finish school go to a college or a six form and that gives you plenty of time to figure out what kind of job you want to do whilst widening your education variety.

I still don't know what I want to do after I finish and that’s about two months away. The only thing I have decided is that  I'm going to go to six form and I’m going to take English Language, English Literature and Photography (i'm still debating about photography) because English is my best subject and photography is a hobby that I want to learn about. Plus you never know it may just be something that I could get into after I finish school. I honestly don't know but I say it’s ok not to know we're still young and there’s plenty of time to figure it all out.

So don’t stress about something that’s still quite a while away, plus the more you think about it the more you’ll get worked up over it and that won't help you figure it out, there will be a day where you’ll figure out what you want to do but until that day comes just try to stay calm and focus on your exams and finishing school,

What's In My Make Up Bag

So this week I've been quite busy with an Exam which was 10 hours long so I decided today just to do a really easy post, which is going to be a What’s in my make up bag. The products in my make up bag are the products I take with me when I go out shopping or to school so not all of my make up will be in here it’s just a few of the items I take to re- do my make up throughout the day.

First of all my Make up bag is from Primark and it was £3 it’s got two compartments and I always use the back one to carry some hair things like a brush, clips, bobbles and i also carry my hand sanitiser which is from Primark and was 60p and in the front pocket I keep my makeup in there.

This is what i usually carry in my make up bag when i'm at school a mirror, a real techniques powder brush (boots £12.99), MUA hide & Conceal concealer, (superdrug £1) Collection Big fake ultimate false lash effect mascara(superdrug £4.99), Rimmel London stay matte powder. (superdrug £3.99) and Maybelline Baby lips in Cherry ME (superdrug £2.99) depending on the week i'll change my Lipstick/ Lipgloss this week i just happened to have my baby lips in here but this varies every week. 

My make up often stays on quite well throughout the day and i find i don't really need to re-do my make up often, so i often re do the powder at around lunch time so around half 12 because by the time school ends my face will become shiny, and sometimes my concealer needs to be redone but for the price of £1 it's lasts quite well and also is good coverage for under the eyes and i often re- do this because my mascara get's under the eyes so it needs covering. 

in the back pocket i carry the usual hair things like bobbles, clips and a hair brush because you never know when you might need them and since i got a new bag which doesn't have separate pockets i now carry my hand sanitiser in there so it's easier to find. 

So this is what i carry in my Make up bag when i'm at school or heading out for the day, i hope you enjoyed it and i'll update next saturday,
