Lime crime unicorn lipstick crybaby

Hi guys & dolls! 

I've been meaning to do this for a while now but I seriously always forget that I even purchased this! It's a quick review of the lime crime unicorn lipstick in the shade 'crybaby' 

This beautiful blue lipstick was a collaboration with the founder of Lime Crime Doe Deere and artist, Melanie Martinez! 
I have to say when I first seen the first pictures released I was plensantly surprise that I really loved the shade. I have never come across a blue lipstick that I have though wow. I REALLY like this! First time for everything!  
It came with these cute little transfer tear drop tattoos which I really don't want to use just yet! 
The packaging is the same as any famous lime crime unicorn lipstick with the unicorn logo & brand name! (I am still in love with the packaging as I was the first time I came across lime crime!) 
I'm unsure if it's just me but the bullet feels slightly heavier than the usual? But I absolutely love the formula. Nice and creamy  but the tiniest bit thicker than usual but still applies amazingly well. 
It's safe to say that I'm going to try this with a variety of different looks to see what I can get out of this wonderful lipstick!

Lush cosmetics new Reusable magic wand bubble bar 2015

Hi guys & dolls! 

Today I have another review for a Lush cosmetics product, the beautiful magic wand bubble bar! 
I knew soon as I seen this I just had to try it! It's by far one of my favourite Lush product by looks!  "Wave a magic wand over bath time with this candy sweet reusable bubble bar wand. Swish around your bath for snow fairy-scented bubbles then pop in on the side to dry out for next time." 
Just look at it! It's so cute! I always love the novelty style thing they have like the flamingo bubble bar! 
It smells exactly the same as the snow fairy shower gel which is my all time favourite Lush product! It's covered in glitter which washed off on the first use and made all the water glittery but it was subtle.  I love that they added the silver bow & bell that just makes it that little extra bit cute & Christmasy! 

So I gave it a good run under the running tap to get it wet and so it could naturally mix I to the water. I gave it a I  mix around in the water to get some extra bubbles and the scent of snow fairy just filled my bathroom! It gives a decent amount of bubbles, depending on how much you decide to use. 
It turns the water a beautiful pastel-pink colour which just topped it off for me! 
It was such a relaxing bath having the smell of snow fairy around me! I will be most defiantly be purchasing another after this before they stop selling them at the end of xmas!

Lush & Vivienne Westwood Dirty Deal Showder Campaign

Hi guys & Dolls! 
Here we have another truly amazing campaign from Lush cosmetics! I whole heartily love how often they push campaigns out for the greater good of us all living on this planet! Animals and humans alike. I have made it a personal goal to blog (if possible) as many of these campaigns they do as I can. 

I don't claim to be an expert on this, far from it infact. But I will try my best to get down the basics on TTIP, after having a big chinwag with one of the lovely staff members at my local Lush store in Warrington, who was kind enough to give me more information on it too! 
Packaging 
As expected ,this is amazingly designed by Vivienne Westwood & climate revolution. 


The box lays down the basics on TTIP 

400g of product is in the box which is a good amount for me personally. States all ingredients contained and obviously, it's suitable for vegans. 


This beautiful smelling Showder made of rose and bergamot oils, is a perfect pick me up!

The colour change is amazing, it seriously took me by surprise from going from a cute pink, it turns to a pretty lilac/purple with bits of blue. It leaves your skin feeling so soft with that fresh clean feeling! 

This beautiful smelling Showder made of rose and bergamot oils, is a perfect pick me up! 

Smells so, so refreshing!



I will put this simply. I'm not the best at getting my words together to explain something this big of a cause. I had heard a bit about it purely through social media posts. 

I think it's best to leave the explains to the experts, but I will say this; please. Please, please looks into & read. 



This is literally life changing stuff happening, all kept under wraps as much as possible. 


I will leave a link for you to read if you would be so kind to do! X

As always when it comes to lush campaigns, all proceeds from Lush Dirty Deal Showder will be put towards European grassroots groups fighting Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership!

Lush cosmetics summer 2015 collection blogger event part two

Hi guys and dolls! 💜💜

I thought I would do this post in two halfs as it was more or less in two when we went to the event! So after we had made out bubble bars (well attempted in my case) we were shown, given demo's & passed around some of the new products & the oxford exclusives that had come to the store. 

Hen harriers bath bomb - This amazing bath bomb was launched to raise money for these beautiful birds. proceeds of which will go to the Hen Harrier LIFE+ Project to help fund satellite tagging operations from next season! Satellite tagging allows to learn more about their ecology and to find out where they might be at risk. 
The comforter, (shower cream) beautiful (shower gel) & yuzu and cocoa (shower cream) Oh my goodness they ALL smell so good! The comforter is a mixture of bergamot oil & cassis absolute. Really lovely berry smell. The beautiful one has myrrh gum powder and apricot it's like it's name! A beautiful smell! Has gold glimmer in it too, super pretty! Finally yuzu and cocoa, I literally wanted to eat it, it smelled so good! Chocolate oranges and cocoa mmmmm! 
The comforter shower cream.
Beautiful shower gel.
Yuzu and cocoa shower cream. 
Life's a beach body scrub powder - This really took me by surprise! With a mixture of 40% sea salt & 40% sand it screamed beach. The smell just reminded me of past holidays instantly. It is such a good scrub, we had a good try of this and it didn't disappoint at all! Will be purchasing this in the near future!
Just looks exactly like you have picked it straight from a beach!! 
Salted coconut - We were treated to a lovely hand treatment by the team, using this product first. A creamy coconut and sea salt salt exfoliant or can be used on either wet or dry hands, (dry for a more rougher cleanse) sea salt as we know Is a natural exfoliator so it was perfect to have as an ingredient for this hand scrub.
Full of natural minerals to cleanse and restore the skin, it's safe to say my hands felt as if they had been brought to life. Th coconut oil is fantastic for hydrating the skin but it didn't leave my hands sticky or slimy as you would expect given that it has oils in. 

Bath bombs. 
The experimenter - 

Frozen bath bomb! I was really looking forward to watching the demo of this after seeing videos on YouTube. Safe to say this didn't disappoint me! With the mixture of grapefruit & Tunisian neroli the smell is fantastic. 

The water is just mesmerising to look at
"Do you wanna build a snowmannn?!" Teehee yes the frozen songs came to mind! £3.95p 
Yoga bath bomb - This slow fizzer has the most beautiful mixture of colours and lots of glitter. To be honest, my first impression of the actual bath bomb, I didn't think i would like it very much, but after seeing it it action it's safe to say my opinion of a product hasn't changed so fast in my life! A beautiful mixture of cours and smells, this slow fizzer is perfect for one of them baths you know you're going to stay in for as long as possible. 

The relaxing scents of olibanum and ho wood just adds to the perfect relaxation. 
I highly recommend you to try this bath bomb if you're a fan of long unwinding baths! 


Intergalactic bath bomb - Wow wow wow! Straight away just the name and the sight of this bath bomb just called to me. 

It has a suprising smell of refreshing peppermint, beautiful neon colours and even popping candy. If you could have the universe and all it's galaxy's in a bath, this product will most defently send you on your way! It has a mixture of vetivierve and cedar wood. Comes in at £3.95. 
Soaps

Apandapand - 

A beautiful looking and smelling soap the apandapanda is full of grapefruit to give a refreshing wake me up kick to it. Most defiantly a soap to use in the morning! 

Maypole soap - This has such bright colours and surprisingly has a minty smell to it, sort of reminded me of wriglys chewing gum! £3.10/ per 100g
It smelt so good. Really nice & sweet 
Serendipity soap; This was one of my favourites, such a lovely smell of French lavender and chamomile, perfect for a night bath! £3.40/ per 100g 
Outback mate - With a blend of eucalyptus, lemongrass and peppermint it is a refreshing morning type of soap in my opinion. Very fresh and a get up and go kind of smell. £3.40/ per 100g 
Perfect for the bathroom! :) 
How cute are these little guys!! The golden handshake is a hand mask perfect for tired, sore, cracked an dehydrated hands. With avocado, argon and caster oil it really revitalises hard working hands. It's also packed with fresh cupuacu and murumuru butters that will get in all the small places! We was given a lovely hand treatment with one of these after we had used the coconut hand scrub. It's safe to say my hands felt as if they had been brought back to live again! Have a bowl that is buck enough to fit your hands in and fill with enough warm water to fully cover the product and stir until the water thickens. Enter hands for around 15 to let the product really work it's magic.  £3.95p/ 20g 

My favourite product of the night! The pink flamingo bubble bar! A fruit cocktail inspired fragrance, it's an all rounder for me, such an eye catcher it just shouted to me straight away! Infused with rosewood and sexy ylang ylang.  £5.95 each 
Milky bath - This was a favourite of one of the members of staff who gave us a demo of this bubble bar, really bubbly and a creamy appearance it smelled so nice with it's fairly traded cocoa butter. £3.75p per item. 

Look how creamy it is! Absolute heaven! 
The green bubbleroon - This is one of my personal favourite smelling products. Citrus scented and beautiful! Mixed with bergamot oil which actuall sticks the halfs together! 
Shea butter is also contained in to give your skin that silky velvet feel. It's not as bubbly as the other bars, but it does make the water that extra softening. 

It's safe to say I had a fabulous time at Lush Warrington and a big thank you to the team for putting on such a wonderful event!
