DIY Photobooth Props

All you need for this simple DIY is a few sheets of card (Any colours you want), a pen, scissors, a hot glue gun and some paper straws (They make them extra cute!). These are all materials you're likely to have to hand so you really have no excuse to make these and use them at your next party! 

All you have to do is draw  the shapes you want onto the card and cut them out before hot glueing them to the straws. I recommend moustaches, lips, smiles, hats, glasses, speech bubbles and anything else you can think of really. You don't need to be an artist to make them look good, tracing works really well too.

If you're looking for a cheap but cute backdrop for your photo booth I recommend table cloths from shops like Poundland and Home Bargains as over the summer they have some really pretty summery designs like the striped one I used.

I hope you have as much fun with this idea as me and my friends did playing with the props!

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!
