Lush Easter Preview.

Hi guys, 

The other week I was invited by Lush Southampton to check out their new Easter
 range in store at a special preview event. As you can they have some amazing things in this year so I'm going to delve straight in. 

First thing I want to comment on is how nice the atmosphere was, everyone was chatty and friendly. You can see below that lots of people turned up eager to have a peek at the new release.

 We were offered a drink when we got there, I chose a lovely hibiscus and lemon drink from marks and spencer. It was nice to walk around with a glass of fizz and learn about all the new products.

 Look how pretty everything is! 

This is most of the Easter collection here. I love the way everything is merched and i think that the Easter sign is super cute. The mix of colour (and smell!) is really appealing.

This Easter Lush have bought out two ranges one for spring and one for Easter, these are a couple of gifts, I am in love with the carrot gift, the whole of the outside is glow in the dark! There are lots of gifts wrapped up in scarves  this year whichis awesome because it's like an extra present.

 This beautiful soap is called 'over the rainbow' it has neroli rose and mandarin in, so it's uplifting and subtly floral. I love all the colours and this soap has golden flecks of glitter all over it.

 Hoppity poppity is the name of this cute little fella, I think he looks really sweet with his little heart shaped nose. This bomb has got lavender, violet leaf and lime so he's sweet, herbal and uplifting. This one really does pop in the bath as there is popping candy inside.

GOLDEN EGGGGG! It's back! This is one of my favorite Easter products ever. It's smells like Honey I washed the Kids soap. The glittery outside is made of bath melt and the inside is bomb, this has a super smooth feeling in the bath and looks beautiful.

 Carrot soap is is exactly what it says on the tin. It smells fruity and sunny. It's shaped like a carrot which is super fun. Inside it has a fighting animal testing hare which is a nice nod to its fighting animal testing ethics.

 Last but certainly not least is fluffy egg. This is a must have for all snow fairy lovers everywhere. It has the same candy fluff fragrance as snow fairy has so if you're missing it after Christmas then this is a great way to get your fix. A simple bath bomb that gives you a bright pink bath. Very cute.

So there you have it the Lush easter range, they also have bought out a shower jelly called Pot O' Gold which is uh-mazing. It smells like the creme anglais body lotion they had a few years ago. 

Go have a look, every thing is limited edition go get them before they go!

Urban Decay haul and review

 Hey everyone,

Sorry I haven't written recently but I'm back and here to share my most recent purchases with you.

Soooo, this pay day I went to the Urban Decay counter in Southampton, the manager there, Rali, is one of the nicest people ever and her make-up is always amazing.

I love the make-up at Urban Decay but as we all know it can be kind of pricey, I went on a 'mega' day which means there was 10% off everything.

♥ yes, yes yes!♥

Below is a photo of all the lovely things I bought, clockwise from the left is, the Naked basics 2 palette, Naked flushed, Naked ultra nourishing lip gloss and perversion mascara. I've linked everything from the Debenhams website as that's where I bought them from.

Also can I just waffle on for a sec about how nice buying new make-up is, selecting the product, trying it on, buying it and taking it home, then opening up that smooth embossed box. Finally you unclip the palette and there it is that untouched pressed powder. ooh, and that plastic film on the mirror? heaven to peel off. Am I right?

 The first thing I want to talk about is Perversion mascara. This mascara boasts an ultra black colour with a creamy consistancy that should lengthen and volumise. I have to say it is super black which is nice, it doesnt leave that dusty black colour that so many mascaras do. This gives me volume and length although i find that i need a second coat to really get some serious oomph. This mascara is a little wet for my eyelashes so I tend to take a bit of the product off the spooley before I pop it on. overall this is a super sultry product perfect for a daytime cat eye or a smokey evening look.

Next up is the naked flushed palette, I got mine in native. This has a medium shade bronzer, highlighter and a lovely ashy powdery pink. The pink in this palette is very, like, 'I've been out in the snow' and I freakin' love it.  The powders in this product are very silky to the touch and blend very easily. The highlighter is beautiful on the high points of the face, personally I've been loving it worn down my nose it leaves a lovely healthy glow.

On to the Naked ultra nourishing lipgloss, this one is the darkest shade called Beso. It's kind of a dark browny pink colour. It's not sticky at all, which I love, I hate gummy gloss. It's quite sheer and could be worn over lip colour if you wanted but it's absolutly beautiful on it's own. The discription on the website says it's addictive- they're right! I love putting this on, the doe foot applicator ensures a smooth, even coating. This product also has avocado oil and shea butter in so it's super hydrating. As soon as I put this little beauty on dry lips they're a thing of the past.

 ►Oh, yeah, the case is rose gold by the way!◄

Lastly, I got the Naked Basics 2 palette. I have to admit I didn't think I'd like this as much as the original basics palette, but I do! This has a much wider range of colours than the first one and I have been using them all! My favorites are the lightest three, scrimp, stark and frisk.I have been using primal in my crease as it's super creamy and blendable, they act like a cream when they are just the silkyest powders. This palette suits everyone- everyone! so happy with this perchase.

○BONUS○

I got a free gift with my perchase, a trial size 24/7 velvet glide on eye pencil, this is in the shade plushie. very nice, very smooth, great for a smokey eye. soft melt on eye pencil, I wouldn't have expected anything less from Urban Decay. 

So that's that, I hope you liked seeing what I bought from Urban Decay, it's not often that I super splash out so it's nice that I can share it with you.
