Mini Lush Haul

I went shopping in the centre of Glasgow for the first time since around Christmas today, which meant I was able to got to Lush. It's been one of my favourite shops for years and I really wanted to get some of their spring/easter themed products. 

Space Girl bath bomb - £2.10

This is really pretty and although I haven't used it yet, I've heard a lot of people say it's great. It's also really sparkly so it'll make the bath look amazing.

Ickle Baby Bot bath bomb - £1.90

I really like this because it's small and I always feel that you don't need a full bath bomb to make the bath change colour and smell really nice. It's also a much more reasonable price than the others.

Butterball bath bomb - £2.45

This is one of my favourite lush products. I've used it loads of times and it's amazing. It makes your skin go really soft and it isn't too strong either. 

Fluffy egg bath bomb - £2.95

I bought this because it smells exactly like Lush's snow fairy body wash. Heavenly is the only word I can use to describe the smell. 

Creamy candy bubble bar - £2.50

Lush bubble bars are really good because they can last as long as you want them to. They make your skin really soft because you can use them almost like a shower gel, and they always smell amazing.

I really love everything I bought today, and the next time I go to Lush I'll probably buy something different because I have enough bath bombs and bubble bars to last me for ages now. 

'Passport to Posh' by Benefit

Benefit is probably my favourite make up brand (joint with Clinique) and I got their 'Passport to Posh' eye kit for Christmas. I really like it because it's so simple but you can get a variety of looks from using it, depending on how much of each product you use.

Packaging

As it's Benefit, the packaging is of course really pretty. It's also quite compact so you'd probably be able to fit it inside most handbags, instead of a make up bag. 

There's a mirror on the inside of the lid which is also very handy, and the inside is just as pretty.

I really like the shadow brush and the talent brush for the eye shadow/liner, but I've used the concealer brush for the eye bright and I feel like it drags a lot so I use my own brush.

Products

1. Bo-ing concealer and eye bright 

This concealer is way too dark for my skin so I haven't used it, but I tried it on my hand and it feels really light but smooth, so if your skin is darker than mine it should go on really well.

I really love the eye bright as it does what it says on the tin, it brightens up your eyes. I get a lot of dark shadows and putting this under and around my eyes really helps.

2. Creaseless cream shadow/liner

I use this more as a shadow than a liner as black eyeliner is necessary when it comes to make up for me and I can't really bring myself to use anything else. It's really nice as an eye shadow, it goes on really smoothly and usually lasts for the whole day. I also feel like it makes your eyes look brighter. 

3. Powder shadows: highlight, accent, contour

This is a really simple combination, but I'm not very outgoing when it comes to eye shadow so I love it. 

4. Bad gal lash mascara

This is my favourite make up product ever. Ever since I discovered it, I haven't been able to use any other mascara. I have the bigger version but this is really handy to take away. It makes your eyelashes look really long without making them look clumpy or sticking together. It's also really natural looking which is good because I really don't suit the fake eyelash look.

So overall I'd really recommend the Passport to Posh kit. It's all of the reasons why I love Benefit in one little portable box. And as a bonus, it's really pretty too. I think it was originally £25 as it was a special edition thing but I've seen unused kits on eBay for under £15. 

Topshop Nail Polish

I thought I'd make my first proper post about one of my favourite ever things, which is topshop's nail polish. I'm really really bad at painting my nails, I can't do any nail art and I can barely let my nails try without smudging them, so topshop have loads of different colours with different effects (sparkles, colours look different in different lights etc) that you'd usually have to use a few different nail polishes to get, in one bottle. They usually cost about £5 or £6 which is quite expensive, but I usually find that they stay on for a while and they have colours that you can't get anywhere else.

Favourite topshop nail polishes

1. Parma Violet

This is probably my favourite topshop nail polish because it's really simple but it's such a lovely colour. I've only had it for a few months and I'm already running out because I use it so much.

2. Hidden Treasure 

I have absolutely no idea what colour this is, but it's beautiful. Usually when I put it on in my room it looks blue, but outside it looks gold and in other lights it looks green. It takes a few coats but it's lovely.

3. Suffuse and Prospect

I usually use a combination of these because they go really well together and you'd have to put on loads of prospect for it to cover all of your nails. I got these in a pack of three at Christmas and I'm not sure if they sell them all year round, but they're definitely two of my favourites anyway.

These are all of the topshop nail polishes that I own (so far).

Starting a Blog (finally)

 I've liked the idea of using blogger for a while now ever since I saw people on instagram use it. It seems like a really good idea to just post about everything you like/buy and make wishlists etc and it lets you do things that you can't on tumblr etc. 
I'll probably just post every so often about things I've bought and things I really want to buy and hopefully someone will maybe read it.
