My Christmas Lush Splurge!


Hello Everyone!

So I was a little bit naughty and had a massive lush splurge because i love all of their Christmas products,i also bought a few autumn and Halloween products too! I Love lush so much i can never be without it haha, i love how unique and creative they are, i had never seen a bath bomb with glitter and goodies inside until i used my first lush bath bomb and i was so pleasantly surprised that I've been hooked ever since, I haven't used most of these products yet so this won't really be a review, more of a haul, so lets start!  



1-Never Mind The Ballistics
I have never seen a lush bath bomb before with a hard cloth oily coat around it! it smells glorious! The scent of this one i would say is very citrusy and i think the harder outside coat may be some kind of oil because when i pick it up it slips out of my hand cannot wait to use this one!





2- Santa's Belly
This is a shower jelly with sparkles and stars in, i love shower jelly they're so fun and again nothing like I've ever seen before, also if you flip the pot upside down you can see Santa's gold bet buckle, that's what i love about lush, they pay so much attention to detail! The sent of this one is very warm and sweet but also with a floral kind of undertone if that makes sense?



3- Monsters Ball
Can we just take a minute to appreciate how cut this bath bomb is! the scent if this bath bomb is again quite zesty and smells very much like lime, ill be kind of sad to use this one just because of how cute he/she looks haha.



4- Peeping Santa
Again how cute is this one?! This one is a bubble bar which means you crumble it under the running water and it creates lost of thick creamy bubbles! this one smell very sweet and creamy kind of like chocolate!


5- Santasaurus 
Once again how cute is this one! This one is also a bubble bar but instead of crumbling it under the running water you can just hold it underneath or just swirl it around your bath and it will again create lovely bubbles. This one also smells quite citrusy but more fruity than the others.

6- Northern Lights

I have actually used this one before and oh my gosh the colours that come out of it are like nothing I've ever seen before! it creates beautiful swirls of deep and vibrant colours, its stunning! The other side if the bath bomb has a blue circle instead of a yellow one. the scent of this one is quite floral in my opinion, however i can quite put my finger on the exact scent!

7- Ruby Red Slippers
This one is so pretty obviously its inspired by the movie wizard of oz, this little ruby slipper is covered in red sparkles and is gorgeous. This one is again a bubble bar so just like the others you crumble it under the running water. Again this one is very citrusy.


8- Mistletoe 
I have to admit at first sniff I'm not a missive fan of this scent but it is still very pretty, it smells quite herbal and I'm not a massive fan but hopefully when its in the water ill like it!



9- Luxury Lush Pad
Love this its so colourful and looks kind of like Christmas pudding with the little bit of holly on the top,  I'm intrigued to find how how this looks in the water. The scent of this one is very sweet and creamy almost like a desert, whatever it is i love it!


10-  Candy Mountain
Love this one so much 😍 not only is it amazingly beautiful but the smell i think is my favourite it smells just like a bowl of sweets. This one is a bubble bar which i have used before and i can say that when this is in your warm bath it smells even better, it made the whole upstairs of my house smell like sweets!


11- Pumpkin
Can you believe that this is lushes first ever proper pumpkin bath bomb. I can't quite put my finger on this scent but apparently its supposed to smell like pumpkin pie, which i have never smelled before which is probably why i don't recognise the scent but none the less it smells lovely and i can't wait to use it.



12- Autumn Leaf
This literally makes your bath look like autumn! all of the colours are so deep and warm its amazing! this one smells very sweet and herbal and maybe a little bit vanillary? again its not a smell i can identify easily haha.





13- Bird Bath
How adorable is this?! This bubble bar again has a very warn sweet citrus scent, also this one makes your bath sooo frothy and creamy its so lovely to use after a long day!


14- So White
I have used this one before and i believe it looks more like an apple this year, other years it has just been a pain white bath bomb but this year it has a leaf and has more of an apple shape. This bath bomb again has a citrus smell, even kind of an apple scent, when you plop this into your bath its so milky and creamy and leaves your skin super soft and smooth!


15- Shoot For The Stars
This one is inspired by a clear night sky and has lots of beautiful gold glitter, this one smells orangey so this one i imagine would really lift your mood and wake you up so i defiantly cannot wait to use this one!

And that all, We made it to the end! I hope you have enjoyed this blog post! let me know in the comments if you have used any of these before and which one is your favourite? i would love to know! feel free to share i would very much appreciate it! Thanks for reading ☺♡

Autumnal makeup look!

Hello Everybody!

Today I am going to be showing you my favourite autumnal makeup look.
I think autumn makeup is my favourite because i just love the warm and berry colours.
so lets get to it!


















Step 1
Apply your favourite concealer to any ares you think may need it, I like to apply mine under the eyes and on any red spots i may have, i then blend with a make up sponge.















Step 2
Now apply your favourite foundation, I am using the Rimmel Stay Matte foundation because it lasts all day and it has a matte finish so you don't need to powder throughout the day
because it also never goes shiny!


Step 3
Next is eyebrows, for this i am using the Kylie Jenner eyeliner brush because i love how precise it is for my eyebrows, i am also using the smashbox full exposure pallet and i am using the matte brown shade just because its a perfect colour for my skin tone and doesn't look too dark, although for this look you are going to want your eyebrows to look fairly bold to match the bold lips.


Step 4
Now add some brow gel to hold your brows in place, this also makes the hairs look more defined as you can see in the photo my right eyebrow has the gel and my left doesn't and you can really tell the difference, i am using the soap and glory brow gel.




















Step 5
I am going to do a rose gold eye look so to achieve this i am going to be using the Kylie Jenner eyeshadow in the colour rose gold and i am just applying these to the lid using a flat eyeshadow brush.





















In the crease i am using the clinique strawberry fudge duo but only the brown shade, apply a small amount on a fluffy eye brush and blend through the crease, then take a smaller fluffy brush and the the same colour under the bottom waterline and that's it for the eyeshadow! so easy.





Step 6:
Take an eyelash curler and curl your lashes, then apply a few thick coasts of mascara, you can use false eyelashes to if you want but i didn't just because i don't want my eyes to look really bold, which is also the reason i haven't applied liquid liner.

Step 7
Apply bronzer under your cheek bones, on your temples and the sides of your forehead to give your skin a glowey bronzed look, this will also make your face appear more chiseled and defined.



















Step 8
Now apply a rose gold blusher to your cheeks, this will really help the rose gold on your eyes pop! this blush i am using is by sleek in the shade rose gold.






















Step 9 
Apply some high light to your cheeks again in a pink colour, i am using the urban decay highlight i the shade fire ball. I used flash in this picture so you could see just how pretty this highlight is in the light.










Step 10
Apply a dark berry lipstick, i am using the mac Selena range in the shade dreaming of you.


And that's it you're done!! i hope you enjoyed this blog post! feel free to leave a comment below! thank you so much for reading! :) <3

Product Empties!

Hello Everyone!
In this little impromptu mid week blog post I thought I would show you my most recent product empties because I have really gotten into these types of blog posts so I thought why not do my own?!















1) NARS super orgasm blush
I love this blush it is my go to blush so I was so sad when I ran out that I immediately had to repurchase it, it looks so lovely with the gold sparkly shimmer gleaming over the pink, it has kind of rose gold look to it which obv I love!

2) Gucci Guilty Perfume
I was given this from my brother as a birthday gift a few years ago and I have only just finished it which is amazing because I wear it all the time and its only just run out! its a very grown up scent its kind of like a deep musky talcum powder which doesn't sound like it would smell nice but trust me it does! maybe if this perfume was on sale somewhere I would repurchase it.

3) L'OREAL professional techni art liss control
As I am a qualified hairdresser I have access to professional products, but don't worry I'm sure you could find this online somewhere, this product is my hair holy grail, I use a pea sized amount on damp towel dried hair and just spread evenly through the ends and it makes my hair so sleek and shiny and minimalists any fly away hairs that i might have, if i want an extremely sleek look i will again use a pea sized amount and using my finger comb through my dry styled hair and it makes my hair look amazing and i am deffo going to repurchase!

4) Katy Perry Purr Perfume
I bought this perfume quite a while ago and i actually used it up a little while ago but i kept the bottle because it looks so cute, the scent of this smells to me like coconut or that smell you get when you walk past a hairdressers again that might sound gross but trust me it smells so nice! I'm not sure if i would jump straight into repurchasing it now although maybe i will in the future.

5) Zoella Tuti Fruity Scrubbing me Softly Body Scrub
I adore this product so much I love the smell and it leaves your skin feeling beautiful! the scent also lingers for ages which you don't usually get with body scrubs! i was so sad when Zoë announced that they were going to be discontinued that i stocked up and bought 6 of them haha, also you may be able to see that i haven't quite finished this yet but i threw out my empty tub and this is almost finished so this counts right?

6) Biore Charcoal Pore Strips
I used these up but I don't think i will be buying them again in a hurry just because i don't really think they did much, they reduced the oil on my nose but it didn't really extract anything form it so i still have a few blackheads, then were also quite painful to remove so i think ill stick to my scrubs instead!

7) Soap and Glory Pillow Pump Lip Gloss
I defiantly won't be repurchasing this product in a hurry, i think this is a typical example of false advertising because it didn't plump my lips in the slightest, it just tingled a little bit and that was all , i noticed absolutely no difference so i just used it as a normal lip gloss just to finish it up.

8) Smashbox Full Exposure Mascara
I love this mascara the wand has natural bristles which i love and it makes your eyelashes look so thick and long as if you have false eyelashes on, I won't be repurchasing this one yet just because there are a few other mascaras i would also like to try but i deffo will in the future!

And that's all the empties i have for now, let me know in the comment if you like this style of blog posts and feel free to share with your friends and follow my twitter page https://twitter.com/jadeloves963 Thank you so much for reading :) <3
