Shower Delights

I've always wanted to try soap and glory products, but never got around to getting any. So, after seeing them on the 3 for 2 offer in boots last week I decided to pick myself some bits up as a little treat. And mmmmmmm they smell so nice!

One of the products that I have used religiously since purchasing is the sugar crush body wash. This product smells citrusy and sweet at the same time, like a lemon cheesecake. It really wakes me up in the morning and gives me a burst of energy. 

Also, it has really gotten me in the mood for summer! The fresh fruity smell makes me want to throw on all my summer clothes and bring on the sun, fingers crossed the sun will come out in England soon :)

My M.A.C Palette

 It has to be said, I *LOVE* M.A.C eyeshadows, their texture, the colours, how long they last. EVERYTHING. I currently own 4 eyeshadows from there(working clockwise from the top left hand side of the palette above) they are; satin taupe, naked lunch, woodwinked and da bling.

(From left to right) da bling, woodwinked, naked lunch, satin taupe.

As shown by these swatches, they're all beautiful shimmery colours. Woodwinked is a great colour for all over the lid, I often pair it with blue eye liner for a pop of colour in the summer. For every day, I love wearing naked lunch over the lid with satin taupe in the crease, it's a classic look and works with every outfit.
I also wear da bling in the crease with naked lunch on the lid to give a pop of colour.

I hope that this will give any of you thinking about starting your own M.A.C eyeshadow collection a few ideas as to where to begin. All of these colours are so versatile and will work for so many people.

My Lip Savour

Mint Julips- £5.50    Lip Service-£5.75

If there was a fire and I had to pick 10 items to save, without a doubt these 2 would be on the list. I used to struggle wearing lipsticks due to my lips constantly peeling whenever putting it on. I've tried so many different types of lip balms, and may different formulas of lipstick to try and sort out the problem, but the peeling and dry skin persisted.

I had heard many people talking about the lip scrubs from Lush, so decided to pick one up myself. I picked ''Mint Julips'', and oh my, this smells delicious! It smells like after eight mints, sooooooo good! And, for those of you that have never tried the Lush lip scrubs before, their consistency  is like sugar with a little bit of moisture. To use them, you get some on your finger and scrub it along your lips, then, you can either lick off the sugar, or which I sometimes do is just wash it off. This product is great because it gets rid of all the dead skin lingering on your lips and makes them soft soft soft!

The other product that I use alongside the lip scrub is one of the lip balms that's also from Lush, ''Lip Service''. I use to to put the moisture back into my lips and keep them moisturised all day long. It has a distinctive smell, it's hard to describe, but to see whether you like it or not I would recommend going into your closest Lush store and giving it a sniff to see what you think. Also, the consistency is very nice and thick.

This combo is the savour of my lips and I never leave the house without either one! And might I also add, they both last forever which is great. I hope that this might give anyone that suffers from dry lips that lack moisture some ideas as to products worth trying :). And also, if anyone else has any lip saving products, please let me know in the comments as I'm always looking for new products to try.

Spring Savings!

After a rather large shopping trip this past week, I've notice there are lots of bargains in the shops currently. The spring to summer transition is by far one of my most favourite times of the year for fashion, and I have to say, I'm definitely not disappointed with what the shops have to offer this year!

I thought I'd like to share one of my favourite purchases, this cute little polka dot bag from Primark. This little beauty cost only £6! It's the perfect size and is great for a grab and go bag. It fits my essentials in nicely; purse, phone, mirror, lip balm and a few make-up pieces.

It's navy blue with white spots, they also do a black and white one too. But I went with this one as I felt is was less harsh for summer. Great buy!
