Quick Fire Review: Lush Wee Harry/No Name Elf Bubble Bar

What It Promises:

A warm spicy bath experience, pure christmas indulgence!

First Impressions:

It's Christmas in a Bubble Bar, but I couldn't find an Elf with two eyes!

How did it go?:

It turned the water a really vivid orange colour, which I wasn't so crazy about, I felt a bit like I was bathing in Irn Bru!

It didn't feel as moisturising as a Star Melt, but when I shaved my legs in the bath, they were sooo soft, so who knows!

How much is it?:

£2.95 each, but I only used the 'hat' of wee harry and it was more than enough, about 3 or 4 more uses left!

Star Rating:

3/5

A 'Wee' Mystery!!

I had a dark plum nail varnish on when I used this bubble bar, and when I got out I noticed that the bubble bar had turned my nail varnish a greeny colour! Not unlike copper when it oxidises!! very bizarre.

Have you experienced this??

Sunday Night In & Out

I've had such a busyy weekend so I'm going to be a bit lazy with today's post!!

IN

- Coral.
I'm talking coral blush, coral lipstick, coral clothing, i'm a definate 'coralista' at the moment, expect a post on my favourites :) curiously enough I am yet to own coralista blush!!
- Star Melt by Lush.
That Snow Fairy scent should have a warning on it, it's soo addictive.
- Lady GaGa - Bad Romance.
I first heard it and though, what? I heard it a second time and thought, wow. Love the song, lovvve the video! How much Alexander McQueen can you squeeze into one music video :)

OUT

-Lack of sunshine/daylight in my life.

I get up it's dark, I finish work and it's dark, where is the daylight in my day!! come back!

-Winter Weather.

You're causing havoc with my hair routine, go away.

- Christmas Panic.

The shops are slowly getting busier and busier, I want to do my shopping in peace thank you, calm down!

Right i'm off to have another lush bath (3 days in a row haha) to try some other new products.

p.s  I used No Name Elf yesterday, quite a mixed bag, but interesting!! Expect another quick fire review tomorrow!!

Lots of Love,

How Did It Go?:

The smell was delicious, the bath went a creamy pink colour (not unlike yazoo) and my skin felt moisturised and soft.

£2.45 each, It's so addictive it could end up being an expensive habit!!

Have Yourself A Lush Christmas!

Ever since I bought myself a star melt bath melt, a small snow fairy shower gel and snow fairy solid perfume a few weeks ago I've been itching to go back to Lush to get some more!

My decision was made for me when I found a 10% voucher in one of my draws when I was sorting out, that had to be used outside of December, so off to Lush I went :)

I bought (L-R)

- Star Melt Bath Melt x2

-Snow Fairy Shower Gel 500g

- No Name Elf Bubble Bar

- Cinders Bath Bomb

I had to stock up on Star Melt and Snow Fairy as I loveee the scent and the Star Melt is my favourite bath time product, ever!!

I love cinnamon in the winter time as it smells so warm and festive, so I was drawn to the No Name Elf Bubble Bar, it smells delicious so i'm excited to use it, my only complaint about this one is I couldn't find one with two eyes in the shop, so I have a one eyed no name elf!

The assistant in Lush pointed out Cinders to me as he saw what was in my basket, and after smelling it I had to get it, it's the right balance between spicy and sweet, so I think it'll make for a lovely bath!!

I'll let you know what I think of these products after I've used it, but i'll make it quick as I know a lot of these are going around at the moment!! I'll do a * rating I think!!

Are there anymore Lush christmas products you think I should try??

Teeny Mini MAC Haul :)

I went to MAC on Saturday and it was sooooo busy that I had to literally fight my way to the counter!!

I really wanted to spend my time looking at the eyeshadows but I had lots of very impatient people trying to budge me and my friend out of the way, not cool.

So, I ended up getting one planned thing, and one unplanned but really nice thing :)

"Style" Blush & "Ravishing" Lipstick

You can probably tell from the picture that i've used them a few times already but I couldn't wait!!

I love them both! I'm on a real coral/peach kick at the moment, it's my favorite shade to wear.

Quick First Impressions -

Style blush is so pretty, it warms up my face and gives me a nice healthy glow without being too OTT.

Ravishing is just the right amount of coral to be suitable for day or night for me, I swatched quite a few of them and I just liked the look of this best :) It is a lustre so I feel like it's not as wow as i'd like it to be for evening, but it's such a pretty day lipstick or for a more casual night look.

I'm going to do a FOTD with these soon, so watch out! I'll actually make the effort to remember!!

Barry M Lip Paint

I love Barry M, I think It's a fantastic drugstore brand and their products always seem to deliver, but I have never tried their lip paint!!

So I went on a little shopping trip on Sunday, and decided to buy two lip paints, in shade 147 and 145 :)

(the flash has kinda washed out the coral lipstick but it's much more vibrant in person)

I have to say, I am soo impressed with these two!

The lighter coral shade is a lot more matte than the hot pink shade, but I think it looks really cool when it's on, BUT it can look "chalky" if you're not careful, which seems to be the biggest down on the lip paints. I don't know if the hot pink is a newer formulation lip paint but it seems to be more creamy when I apply it.

This is how it looks on :)

147 - Peachy Coral

145 - Hot Pink

I only applied these quickly to take a picture but the pigmentation is insane for the price!

I haven't tested the longevity of the product yet during the day, but I plan to wear the coral one to work today to test it out! Coral lipsticks are fast becoming my new obsession!

I'd love to try some more of these, so if you have any "must have" shades, I'd love for you to tell me :)

Lots of Love,
