Today I'm going to be reviewing the Lava Lamp Bath Bomb from lush. These past few months I've started to really love the bath bombs from there. Before I used to be really put of by some of the scents. But then one day i just bite the bullet. So lets begin...... I was drew to this bath bomb by the name. When i was little i remember having a pink and purple lava lamp which i loved so much. The way i can describe this scent of this bath bomb is citrus and tangerine. It's  Made from a combination of orange flower absolute, tangerine and mandarin oils,  Lava Lamp  is a bright, refreshing and highly fruity creation.It made my skin super soft  after using it. As soon as i put it in the bath it started to put it into turn the water into a deep orange shade. The purple spots became deep blueish shades and was forming a circle across the water. The purple after a while made its way to the out side of the bath and left a blue stain. I did l...

Today im going to be sharing with you the makeup that I use everyday. I love reading blog posts of people doing these types of posts,i'm very nosey to see what people are using on there faces. All the products I'm going to be showing you are from the drugstore..... Base I find foundation the hardest to find. I like one for a everyday basics that sort of a full coverage and is going to last throughout my day. I'm quite fair so finding the right colour to match sometimes is proven difficult. At the beginning of this year I started to use the Rimmel Lasting Finish 25 Hour Foundation   in the shade True Ivory. I used to use th e Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation , only problem with this foundation was that i as a medium coverage but i used to wear it in the summer alot. For conceal I use the Maybelline Eraser Eye Concealer   in the shade Nude.   I Suffer pretty bad with black under eyes and i feel this does the job with t...

Okay.. so let me get one thing straight, my bag is normally filled with receipts, bobby pins,change and other random things. But today I thought no one wants to see that.

Today's post is about lifestyle products I've loved  throughout the month of February. stay tuned for more posts from me. The Girl On The Train: Being a commuter catching the train to college, first thing gives me time to do some light reading before i start my day. I fell in love reading this book. I liked how it was very gripping as soon as you start reading. It took me a few weeks to finish but when eventually finished the book. I wanted to keep reading more of the author's books. Rose gold phone case (Amazon) This month i was lucky enough to be gifted a new Mobile phone. I have the Sony Xp M4 Aqua and i saw this case on amazon. It cost around £4.99 and was here within days of placing the order. One thing i will say about this case is that it does scract easily so bear that in mind.it was a mental bumper on the outside which is shock proof. Limited Edition Black and White Handbag (Primark £18) This month my favourite handbag broke which made ...

Hello my lovelies! Hope you doing very well! I'm going to be sharing with you my thoughts/review of the W7 In The Buff Palette.  I added this palette to my collection this month.  i've never had an eye shadow palette so this is a first time thing for me. I saw this palette on Amazon for £5.43 when it was on offer. The palette has 12 eyeshadow shades. I love the size of this palette it fits in the back of my makeup holder perfectly, the packaging is much like the urban decay naked palettes.  i dont own a naked palette so i can't compare the two.  But i love the shades they are very pigmented and the eye applicator is pretty decent aswell The Palette  Inside this palette there is 12 shades. They are really pretty. Inside you get a double ended brush which is pretty decent. it helps with applying the eye shadows. Starting With the shades  Buff - Is a pretty inner corner to brighten t...
