Lush Oxford Street Haul

 

On my visit to London I of course couldn't resist a visit to the Lush store on Oxford street. I planned on just having a look around and not actually buying anything but before I knew it I was buying 5 things. When I saw the bath oils I knew I had to buy some not only because they were Oxford Street exclusives but also because unlike bath bombs they seem like they may genuinely be of use to me. I picked up the gold one simply because LOOK AT IT. IT'S SO SPARKLY. It literally looks like a gold nugget. And it smells all warm and gingery, I can't wait to use it. I also brought one that smells like fruit pastilles and two that I can't actually remember what they smell like, but I know they must have smelt amazing. I also got the flamingo reusable bubble bar which smells like cocktails which is the only product I have used so far and it was pretty good. The bubbles didn't last long but I didn't use much of it, however it did smell great. 

The only other purchase I made in London (expect for Chipotle for lunch, Frankie and Bennies for dinner, fortune cookies and photo booth photos in Urban Outfitters[okay that was a lot more]) was a Kiko eyeliner which I recently reviewed and am currently loving!

I really enjoyed my day in London and can't wait to go again sometime, it only took a few hours to get there on the train as well, much easier than I would have expected, though it was a long day!

Lush Twilight Bath Bomb

My brilliant friends brought me the twilight bath bomb for my birthday and I took the opportunity over Easter to finally use it after all the stress of revising whilst I watched Pretty Little Liars! I am seriously obsessed with this show which is so annoying since I'm meant to be revising as my 26 (Yes, 26!) GCSE exams start in 2 weeks! It turned my bath a gorgeous purple-y colour with a little bit of glitter in it though luckily it didn't make my bath a pain to clean afterwards, it always smells gorgeous and lavender-y. Everytime I opened the cupboard that I was storing it in I got a hit of lavender and it was just gorgeous! Plus I loved the way it went from pink to blue and then left my bath the perfect purple shade.

I'll definitely be trying out some more bath bombs from Lush I think! Any recommendations?

Sale Shopping in Town

I simply wasn't brave enough to risk the boxing day sales, I did however venture into the Bullring on the 27th.

Oops, that looks like quite a few bags...

In Lush I picked up a melting marshmallow moment bath melt and the Mask of Magnaminty, my first ever Lush products! I'm so excited to try them, I really hope that they live up to all the hype.

  In Urban Outfitters I picked up this beautiful black,blue and white aztec print fitted skirt. The fact that it was half price really helped to persuade me though! 

Then in superdrug I picked up some new exfoliating gloves, Rimmel Kate Moss Lasting Finish Lipstick in 110 and Apocalips Lip Lacquers in Nude and Nude Eclipse. You'll know from this post that I love Rimmel's Apocalips already but these two new shades are gorgeous, I'll write a review on them with swatches soon. 

And lastly from Selfridges I picked up 3 macaroons :) I have never tried macarons and I have always wanted to so when I spotted them in Selfridges I couldn't resist.  They were stupidly expensive especially considering the size of them but I tried the vanilla one and the hazelnut one and they were delicious, I saved the Chocolate one for my sister, I hope she appreciated it!

So there we go, not a bad days shopping I'd say :)

And we went to Nandos for lunch too so thanks Eilis for a wonderful day out!
