LUSH christmas stuff

so i thought "lets try lush again" because i used to buy face masks n what not from there a few years ago but everytime i went in i couldn't look around without being asked if im ok or need any help so i felt a little too pressured to buy stuff. but as i have a xmas job i thought its time to buy some! and this time i wasnt attacked as soon as i walked in!


I got the wee harry bath melt, 





so white bath bomb





 fabulous Mrs fox bath melt 




  

and Santas rice porridge.  


I've used the so white bath bomb but it didn't really do much for me only frothed a little but that might be because i had a REALLY hot bath. 


The wee harry bath melt is really nice! it smells of cinnimon, turns the water red and gives a really good amount of bubbles with on 1/3 of the thing! 


The face mask is really lovely it smells of almonds and has cranberries in and many other things that i don't know, its £4.75 for a tub which seems expensive (to me anyway) but it will give many applications. I only cover my face with a thin layer and leave it on for 10 mins then remove in a circular motion then it turns milky and makes my skin feel super super soft! i love it!

The fabulous mrs fox smells of aniseed which i'm not keen on as i hate the taste of it but i got it as it gives money towards anti fox hunting things, so i bought it to help save some foxes :).


so far i'm starting to really like lush! so hopefully there will be some more reviews and "hauls" to come :)


thanks for reading :)

Urban Decay book of shadows 2

I've never tried urban decay, i want to try the primer potion but i have a few primers already so i thought i'd wait till they have run out but i saw the book of shadows 2 and thought what a great way to test their products also the eyeshadows are GORGEOUS!

This is the front, not as nice as the first one but it has a fabric texture and "shiny" print


Inside is the mirror and a little compartment with a little book with some pictures and advice. I love the peacock feather design.


Heres what your here for, it comes with a mini udpp and 2 eyeliners. The shadows are really pretty and what i would wear day to day as there's grey, pink, browns and purples. The greens and blues i wouldn't really use but i think they would be nice under the eye. The bottom right is the most surprising as it looked grey but when swatched it is turquoise when the light hits it.

The colours are really pigmented and shimmery, i think this palette is all i need! the colours are perfect

It is a little pricey at £27 but 16 eyeshadows, a primer and 2 eyeliners is a really good deal! (It was on my xmas list but i couldn't wait that long!)

Thanks for reading
