Christmas lush haul

Lush is one of my favourite places to shop and whenever I go there I do a lot of Damage. So recently me and my friend  Bethan went Lush shopping because they released all their festive bath goodies and we kinda got carried away. I picked up quite a few things so I thought I would do a blog haul! 

Magic wand bubble bar

The magic wand bubble bar is one of my favourite products from lush. It turns the water a lovely pink colour and makes a lot of bubbles. It also has an amazing sweet candy floss scent of snow fairy. 

Snow fairy shower gel 

Speaking of snow fairy, I also purchased the snow fairy shower gel. This sweet smelling shower gel is perfect for anyone who absolutely loves strong sweet scents. It can be seen as quite expensive but definetly worth the price as it left me feeling and smelling amazing. 

Dashing Santa bath bomb 

I've already used this bath bomb and it is not my favourite bath bomb to be honest. I love the colours but I'm not a fan of citrusy scents. The only reason I purchased this was because it looked incredibly cute and I heard that once you drop it in your bath it is said to 'dash' so that is why I got drawn in to it. If you are a fan of citrusy scents then I'd recommend this but I don't think it is the right scent for me. 

So white bath bomb 

I am ABSOLOUTELY in love with this bath bomb! It smells exactly like apples and I think it is my favourite scent from lush. I wish this was a permanent bath bomb but I'll definetly go out and stock up in more of these. 

The Christmas penguin bubble bar

I really love this bubble bar! It's extremely cute and it has a really clean and fresh scent. I also need to go out and stock up on him aswell. 

Holly golightly bubble bar 

Firstly this thing is massive and extremely glittery . It has a strong spicy scent to it and it litteraly smells like Christmas. This is Christmas in a bubble bar. It's also worth the price which can be seen quite expensive. 

 

Father Christmas bath bomb 

This bath bomb has a nice scent that isn't too overpowering . It is a large bath bomb compared to others and has a deliciously sweet smell. 

Luxury lush pud bath bomb 

I brought luxury lush pud after seeing it reviewed on YouTube. It smells really really good like lavender and I brought it because of all the colours and who wouldn't want their bath to be a rainbow.

 

Creamy candy bubble bar 

This isn't a Christmas edition bubble bar but I couldn't resist not buying this because this smells ABSOLOUTELY incredible. It is my favourite bubble bar and it smells very similar to snow fairy; a super sweet scent. 

Having a bath is my favourite way to relax and unwind after a busy school day and I hope this inspires you to try out lush If you are not familiar with the brand already.

That's everything I brought on my lush trip with Bethan. You should also go check out her blog ( links below) because it's amazing. Merry Christmas everyone!

November favourites <3

Hey lovelies, 

November is now gone and We are currently in December. OMG GUYS! Christmas is in 21 days and I can not wait! 

Garnier miceller cleansing water

So I've heard everyone raving about the garnier miceller cleansing water so I've decided to see if this product was worth the hype. Oh my FRICKING days! This product is amazing! It takes of your makeup without stripping your natural oils and also very hydrating to your skin.

St. Ives Face scrub 

As you guys may know, I love the scrubs that St.Ives make. They leave your skin super smooth and silky. They also smell wonderful. I could really see a huge difference to my skin when I use this and when I use another scrub.

Snow fairy shower gel

Snow fairy is a limited edition shower gel from lush. It has a very concentrated sweet scent and a little bit goes a long way. The shower gel is quite creamy but it lathers up really well. I've been loving this product and this is my second bottle of it. 

So white bath bomb 

Another lush product! That just shows how much I love the shop lush! So recently my friend and I went lush shopping and I decided to pick up the so white bath bomb because zoella has been raving about this in her lush haul. It smells like gorgeous apples and it also has a really fresh smell which is perfect for a morning bath. 

Girl online - Zoe Sugg

So Zoella's new book has came out and I had to get my hands on one of them. This book is one of the books that you can't put down and I have been reading it non-stop. I am half way through the book and cannot wait till the end. If you haven't purchased this book yet then you are missing out on a lot. This book has got to be one of my favourites,hands down.

What's on my IPhone 5?

Hello lovelies! 

This post is going to be a what's on my iPhone blogpost. I really enjoy reading and watching them so I'd thought it'd be fun to make one myself.

I have the black iPhone 5 and its 16 GB. 

My phone case is this blue pineapple from Victoria's Secret pink. I've had this phone case for 2 months now and I think it does a great job of protecting your phone. I believe this was for approximately £3.99 but I'm not quite sure.

My lock screen is a picture of one of my favourite quotes and it says "In the end, we only regret chances that we didn't take." This quote motivates me to do so many things that I was scared of doing before therefore I set it as my lock screen to remind me that there is so much you can do in this life.

Im not going to go through the first page because the first page is all the boring stuff that is on every iPhone apart from BBM - BBM is blackberry messenger.

This is the second page of my apps. As you can see i customised my apps and if you want to know how , comment down below if you want me to post a tutorial on how to customise your apps.

Below is a list of the apps that is on the first page.

•Whatsapp 

•Instagram (My most used app) 

•Facebook 

•Twitter 

•Snapchat (My second most used app) 

•YouTube 

• Viber 

• Blogger 

•Vine 

•Cocoppa 

• Facebook Messenger 

•Google 

This is the third and last page of my phones and it has 2 folders and 2 apps.

These are the apps that are in the "apps" folder:

• Whatsapp

•Instagram 

•Facebook 

• Twitter 

•YouTube 

•Viber 

•Snapchat

• Blogger 

•Vine 

•Cocoppa 

•Facebook messenger 

• Spotify 

•Google 

• Skype 

•Minion rush 

•Flappy bird 

In the "photography" folder I have all the apps that I use to edit my photos and videos. 

• Slopro 

•Retrica 

•Flipagram 

•Picbeauty 

•Insta collage

•Video star

•Whitagram

•Pic collage 

•Insta size 

•Pics art 

• IMovie 

One of the two apps that are not in a folder are bus times. I get the bus from school to my home and some bus stops don't have a timetable so I have this bus app to tell me when my bus is coming . 

The next app is feature points and this app is so cool. You collect points and then you could win free gift cards with the points you collected. 

Thank you for reading and I hope you enjoyed!

What's in my school bag?

Hey guys!

Now that school has started , we have to organize a little better to keep the stress of school to a minimum.  So here’s a list of things that I have to have in my school bag for when I go to school.

1. Textbooks- If you have a textbook or textbooks that you need for your classes then of course that needs to be in your bag. My school provides us with textbooks and planners but if yours doesn't then I'd reccommend  buying one from any stationary store. 

2.Pencil case - Every school bag needs a pencil case!  In order to do your work, and take notes, you have to have something to write with. Not ever having anything to write with and having to ask someone gets annoying to the people in your class and to your teachers. So don’t be that person! Always have a couple pens, pencils and highlighters available for writing down notes and completing assignments. If you’re the person who always has a pencil and everyone always asks you for one, then have a couple extra inexpensive pencils for others to use. I give others the pencils that I don’t use because it’s rare that I ever get it back.

3. Emergency kit- I always have a little bag in my school bag that has all of the things that I could possibly need, such as:

·Bobby pins

·Lip balm

·Hand sanitizer

·Hair ties

·A hair brush

·A couple of pounds  in case of an emergency

·Deodorant 

·My makeup bag if I wear makeup on that day.

· Hand lotion 

· Travel size body spray 

· Mirror 

4. A reading book- I'd recommend having a reading book with you at all times. I am currently reading the hunger games. 

I hope you liked this post and comment down for any suggestions on what my new post should be about.

Back to school morning routine <3

Hey guys! 

Sorry I haven't been posting recently but that is because I was on holiday and the wifi was terrible. I am extremely sorry and I will try to upload even more posts.

Since the back to school season has arrived, I think that I'll post a back to school morning routine. 

At the weekdays I normally wake up at 7. I force myself to get out of bed and head to the Bathroom. I know some people like brushing their teeth after having their breakfast but I like to do it right after I wake up because I can't stand morning breath. I also wash my face and I use the clearasil facial wash. I then moisturise my face with the Olay double action sensitive day cream.

Then it is time to run down the stairs for fooood! My breakfast normally consists of fruit and Greek yoghurt. While I'm eating I like to check all my social media (links below.) After I feed my tummy it's time to get sorted out. 

Here are the makeup products I use. I don't wear that much makeup to school just because I never have the time to in the mornings. 

• Baby skin - Maybeline 

• Hide the blemish concealer - Rimmel 

• Pressed powder with real techniques expert brush  - Collection 

•Double extension mascara - Loreal 

• Clear mascara for eyebrows - natural collection 

• Baby lips in hydrate - Maybeline 

For my hair I tied it up in a high pony tail and added a cute headband from Primark. I can't leave the house without at least a  hair accessorie in my hair.  

Hope you enjoyed today's post and once again I'm extremely sorry for the lack of posts. I'll try and make it up to you by posting extra.

Skin care routine ♡

Hello guys!

 

Today's blog is going to be about my skincare routine and how I look after my skin. Hope you enjoy scrolling and reading through it. 

So first I start by scrubbing my face with the 'skin therapy cleansing scrub' which I purchase from Wilkonsons. I'm not sure how much I brought this for. I only use this once or twice a week as it is a bit harsh for your skin and it can cause redness. As a scrub it works pretty well but is not one of my favourites. I think the best scrub I've used is the st. Ives apricot scrub which worked wonders for my skin. 

The next thing I use is this face wash from clearasil. This is amazing! It smells like avacados which I really like and it is a brilliant face wash. I use this twice daily: in the morning and before I go to bed. It leaves my skin really smooth and luxurious. This can also be used as a facial mask. 

So now that my face is clean, I moisturise it with my Olay double action sensitive day cream. I do not have sensitive skin but I've tried the normal one and it irritated my skin a lot so I decided to try the sensitive one and so far I haven't had any problems with it.

I then use the Lancôme rénergie yeux multi-lift eye cream. This moisturises under my eye a lot and it also reduces puffiness and prevents dark circles. I use my ring finger as it is the gentlest finger and pat the eye cream towards my inner corner because that is the direction your blood flows. Overall I think this is a good eye cream.

After my face is nice and moisturised I use this acne treatment and it is absolutely amazing. This is my third tube. It gets rid of acne within 2-3 days. I apply this before I go to sleep on my forehead where most of my acne appears and on any spots. I think that this is the best acne treatment I've used.

Now that my face is sorted, it's time to sort out my lips. I use the lush bubblegum lip scrub to remove all the dead skin cells. This lip scrub tastes amazing and works wonders for my lips. I won't be surprised if this tubs empty by the end of this month. 

Now it's time to moisturise those lips. I use the eos lip balm in strawberry sorbet. This lipbalm smells really good and is very moisturising. It leaves my lips silky and smooth. If you don't own one of these then you should go out and get some. I got mine from America as a gift but you can purchase yours from amazon or selfridges. 

I hope you enjoyed reading my blog and I'll try to upload once a week.

Studying :(

Sorry I haven't posted in a while but that was because I had a lot of exams so I thought it would be appropriate to do a blog about some tips that might help you when you study. 

 

1) Turn off or hide all your electronics and distractions such as mobile phones,  laptops and the TV. This will allow you to focus more and prevent you from any distraction. 

2) Another great tip to studying is to use flash cards. This tip has helped me so much in the past. Take a flash card and write the word you need to remember. Then cut the corners off because this causes a lot of distraction.  On the back write the definition of the word. I love using flash cards especially coloured ones.  

3) Keep your study area tidy and organized. This will help you to get on with your work much easier. Put all pens and pencils in a jar or a pencil case. This  will prevent a lot of mess and clutter. I keep all my pens in this cute mini bucket from the pound store. 

That's all for today's blog and I'll make sure to be more active next time. <3
