Lush Bright Side Bubble Bar - Review & Pictures

Hello there!

A few months ago I dipped my toe into the huge and brilliant waters of Lush! I had never ever bought anything from Lush before and suddenly decided to buy two bath bombs! Well as the weeks have passed I have been trying different things including this Bubble Bar. It is a limited edition bubble bar called Bright Side!

It is a bright swirly bar that smells of citrus producing a bright orange bath! For any one that doesn't know how to use a bubble bar (being a Lush amateur myself I didn't know either!) heres how you use it:

Chop the entire bubble bar into four quarters, a quarter will give you a good amount of bubbles! You can obviously use as much as you want but I like to make mine last!

Crumble the bar into the bottom of the bath... this can be hard so I advise that you try and crush it under running warm water. 

Once it's crushed allow your bath to fill up!

Ta daaaa lovely orange citrusy bubbles that will give you a heavenly bath!

Not only does it look good but it leaves the skin feeling fresh and seriously soft!

This isn't online but try in store for £4.25. 

Another bath bar similar is the Comforter!

Micellar Water Blind Trial by Escentual

Hello there!

So I received an email the other day asking me to take part in a blind trial trialling seven different micellar waters! Along with 99 other beauty addicts, we will be trialling the anonymous micellar waters for 14 days.

We will be testing each one and rate it for it's cleansing ability, pleasure of use, reactivity and moisture balance before finally picking an overall favourite! Each dropper bottle has 20ml worth of micellar water and is labelled with a letter therefore we have no idea which dropper contains which micellar water!

The micellar waters on trial are (in no particular order!):

- Dior Instant Cleansing Water 

- Nuxe Micellar Cleansing Water with Rose Petals

- Caudalie Make-Up Remover Cleanser Water

- Avene Micellar Lotion Cleanser and Make-Up Remover

- La Roche-Posay Physiological Micellar Solution

- Bioderma Sensibio H20 Micelle Solution

- Vichy Purete Thermale Calming Cleansing Micellar Solution

I think I will try each bottle for two nights each and record my notes and feelings after each use! I have infact tried the Bioderma Micellar Water but it will be an absolute task to try and decide which bottle it is in!

Search the hashtag #micellarblindtrial on Twitter to see if any other people trialling the micellar waters are tweeting about them! I will be posting after I find out which micellar water is which to give you my opinions on each!!

Were you lucky enough to be part of this fantastic Blind Trial?

John Frieda Frizz Ease Tame Your Curls Set

Hello there!

Having slightly curly hair, I often like to try and style my hair into natural waves. Unfortunately, my hair is often fairly frizzy and it can sometimes look like a mess! However, I have recently been trying a new shampoo, conditioner and serum from John Frieda to tame my curls!

The John Frieda Frizz Ease Dream Curls Shampoo* and Conditioner* aim to help define, enhance and moisturise your natural curls to make it easier to style. The John Frieda Frizz Ease Extra Strength Formula Hair Serum* helps to eliminate frizz and again help to style the hair.

The shampoo and conditioner are used like any normal shampoo or conditioner but the serum is to be used sparingly on soaking wet hair whilst in the shower. I tend to use this just after washing my conditioner out and switching the shower off. I then use two pumps as it is to be used depending on hair length and work through my wet hair before getting out the shower. 

I must say I was really pleased with the results of this trio. My curls were definitely more defined, moisturised and looked enhanced! I really recommend those who have naturally wavy hair and like to style the hair with curls that you give this trio a go!

You can buy the trio online at Boots with the Dream Curls Shampoo* at £5.49 for 250ml, Dream Curls Conditioner* at £5.49 and the Extra Strength Hair Serum* at £6.29 for 50ml!

Also visit their Youtube channel to view videos on styling tips!

Are you ready to tame your curls?

Origins Drink Up Intensive Overnight Mask - Review

Hello there!

A few weeks ago I bit the bullet and decided to buy the Origins Drink Up Intensive Overnight Mask. Your probably thinking what was there to even think about seen as this is one of the most talked about face masks on the blogsphere. Well about a year ago I tried the Origins skincare and seriously did not get on with it. I tried the Night-A-Mins Oil Free Moisturiser and had a massive allergic reaction. So when thinking about whether to buy this it was a big decision.

I firstly swatched this on my hand when I went shopping on my wrist to see whether I had an allergic reaction. Fortunately it did not give me an allergic reaction and so I bought it when there was a 10% offer on at Debenhams!

The packaging is bright green and the bottle is a little smaller than bloggers photos actually show! But there is still a good 100ml in this baby. The mask is for overnight and is supposed to quench skins thirst. Another reason for me buying this was my skin was in horrendous condition with dry patches all over it. I have no idea why it went so bad!

The mask helps the skin to feel hydrated and smoother and overall all look more plump! So lets get on to how the skin actually preforms. The formula of the mask is super rich and creamy so it leaves a lovely thick layer on the skin. It doesn't feel greasy it just feels like your skin is going to be really treated! I have to say it definitely lives up to its claims when you apply it over night and wake up the next morning! It does not seem to have done anything to the appearance of my blemishes but it doesn't claim too. It just makes the surface of my skin so much smoother and look healthier.

The mask is to be used once or twice a week after cleansing as an overnight moisturiser.

I really recommend people with all types of skin to give this a go. Buy it here online at Origins

MUA Undress Your Skin Illuminating Foundation in Beige - Review & Swatches

Hello there!

Long time no bloggy?! Sorry I have been rather absent but I have just started my final secondary school placement and I have been busy planning lessons and sleeping! 

Over the past two weeks I have been using the new MUA Undress Your Skin Illuminating Foundation in Beige. After being disappointed by the Revlon Nearly Naked Foundation, I was on the hunt for something with light coverage and a slightly dewy finish. As this was on offer I decided to give this a whirl...

The foundation comes in a squeezy tube and is available in three shades. Beige was just right for my skin tone and so I picked this shade. The foundation is meant to cover imperfections whilst still maintaining the skins natural glow. It is also packed with light diffusing particles giving instant radiance to the skin.

A little goes a long way with this foundation and it does not feel heavy at all. It blends well and is good at covering imperfections and redness of the skin. It does allow the natural glow of the skin to come through but is still not as dewy as I would like. However it is still a fantastic foundation. With the primer that accompanies this foundation in the MUA Undress Me Range the foundation will last all day. 

I really do love this foundation and recommend anyone to give it a whirl. Unfortunately the colour range isn't brilliant but if you have a light skin tone like me then I really do recommend it!

It is £5 online at the MUA store and there is currently a 3 for 2 offer on all face products!
