Beauty: LUSH Haul (October 2015)

It's been a while since I splurged on LUSH products and as the Halloween and Christmas products recently launched, I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to treat myself to a few LUSH goodies.

The first products I popped in my basket was the Lord Of Misrule Shower Cream which is one of this years Halloween products and is possibly the product I'm most looking forward to using. I decided to treat myself to the Big Shampoo which I have wanted to try for a very long time, I'm hoping it'll give my hair some much needed volume.. I'll keep you posted on that. Another shower product I picked up was the much loved Snow Fairy Shower Gel, I first tried this product last year and I instantly loved it so this was a product I had to repurchase.

Review: Yves Saint Laurent Le Teint Touche Eclat Foundation

I usually don't like to stray away from my beloved Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation, but I've had my eye on trying a new high end foundation and this came in the shape of the Yves Saint Laurent Le Teint Touche Eclat Foundation (which I will refer to as YSL Touche Eclat Foundation in this post).

In the UK this foundation is currently available in 17 shades (you can view the full shade range here), which I think is pretty impressive. After visiting the YSL counter and testing out a number of different shades I decided to go with 'B50'.

Review: LUSH The Experimenter Bath Bomb

 Earlier this year LUSH opened the doors to their Oxford Street store. With the launch of the new store came a host of exclusive products dubbed 'Oxford Street Exclusives'. Some of the Oxford Street Exclusives have now been released in other stores and online, one of which being The Experimenter bath bomb.

After seeing The Experimenter in various Instagram photos for months I was so pleased to be able to finally get hold of the product in my local LUSH store for £3.95.

The Experimenter has what I would describe as a sweet but slightly spicy scent which is lovely and even lingered on my skin way after I'd finished soaking in the bath.

Beauty: Autumn Nail Shades

Since Autumn arrived I've been reaching for more Autumnal shades to paint my nails with. For me this means using lots of different reds and oranges, so I thought I'd share some of my current favourites:

L-R: Barry M Gelly Hi Shine 'Paprika'//Barry M Gelly Hi Shine 'Blood Orange'//Formula X 'Pyrotechnic'//Natural Collection Nail Colour 'Burgundy'//No7 Gel-Look Shine 'Deep Wine'

Have you mixed up your make-up for Autumn?

Beauty: Empties #3

It's been a while since I last wrote an empties post so this post is a little overdue. Here's the products that I've used up recently, what I thought of them and whether I will repurchase them.

Garnier Ultimate Blends The Sleek Restorer 1 Minute Treatment - This product has featured in a few posts on my blog already as I love it. This product is a deep conditioner which helps to reduce frizz and promote shine. Oh and it smells incredible too. I try to use this product one per week to tame my frizzy mane. I will definitely be repurchasing this product. 

No7 Beautiful Skin Quick Thinking Wipes - I don't use face wipes to remove my make-up very often but I always like to keep an 'emergency' packet in my drawer for those evenings when I don't have the time (*cough* aka can't be bothered *cough*) to remove my make-up with cleanser and toner. These wipes are gentle on the skin but effective when it comes to removing my make-up. They're a great quick fix and I will repurchase them (although I'll wait for the £5 off No7 Vouchers to return first).
