Trips to LUSH

Hello everyone , I hope you're all well!
As you probably all know - I am completely obsessed with Lush... but who isn't?!
What their company stands for, their ethics and hard work into making the products the most natural ways that they can I completely admire their efforts!
I don't think there has been a product that has let me down so far, so here is a post about some of my recent trips this year to Lush, I'll put all the info below and links to each product so it directs you straight to their website!
- I hope you all enjoy <3

16th January Lush - Birmingham Store!

Twilight Bath Bomb £3.95

This bath bomb has lavender oils, anti-inflammatory protective benzoin resinoid and ylang ylang oil. It's a good bath bomb to use before bed, I have a very bad sleeping pattern and the lavender definitely helped me relax before getting into bed. I am completely obsessed with the scent of this bomb, it starts off releasing blue and pink colours with glitter and ends up turning your bath water a beautiful dark shimmering purple... Honestly makes you feel like a princess!

Also correct me if I'm wrong but the glitter lush use, is infact made from seaweed - which is good for your skin. I'd happily buy more Twilight bath bombs - what are your thoughts?!

Intergalactic £4.25

When I first seen Intergalactic in store I had to smell it straight away, such a beautiful and colourful bomb I couldn't resist.. The peppermint scent would normally put people off but I absolutely loved it, it contains peppermint oil, grapefruit oil, vetivert and cedarwood oil.

When I used this bath bomb I couldn't believe how stunning the colours were, especially with the gold glitter and popping candy, definitely one to re-purchase. The blue/purple/yellow/orange/pink colours were absolutely beautiful, your bath water turns a gorgeous sea blue with a load of glitter!

Blackberry Bath Bomb £3.50

Such a huge bath bomb for £3.50 it smelt so amazing, I can't give my views on this one for the time being as I gave it to my friend as I said she could have something from my collection!
I will hopefully be purchasing it again soon so keep your eyes peeled <3

Butterball Bath Bomb £2.75

I actually first seen about the butterball a good few years back , one of my favourite daily vlogger couples Ellie And Jared. Ellie herself would treat herself to lush or her husband Jared would surprise her (so sweet ) One of many products from Lush she sworn by was the butterball, so I finally gave that a go, it was a sinker but it still done the job and made my skin feel so smooth and soft, it has an amazing gentle scent. Cocoa butter and Ylang Ylang Oil. I would purchase this again!

I know this was short and sweet, but I needed to put content out for you guys!
The next few posts I'll be writing about each individual bomb in this post, and using pictures that I've took of each one... then i'll be doing another trip to lush post!

Please let me know of any ideas you may have or any questions you'd like me to answer..

Thank you for reading <3~

I'm Back!

Hello everyone, I'm BACK!

I hope you've all had an amazing Christmas and great start to 2017!!
I know you're all probably thinking what's happened to the blog I started out with.Well in the summer of 2016 I ended up having a new phone due to breaking my Samsung, pretty funny story actually.. went out and came back to find out the washing up liquid leaked in my handbag yes I know what an idiot xD

Because of that, I had no way of getting into my account as i'd forgot my password / the number associated with my account was an old number no longer in use. Then on the 11th October I got the keys to my very first home - So as you can imagine with moving for the first time , all the decorating ( a lot had to be done ) then all the bumps along the way with everything else and repairs it was a stressful end to 2016 - There's still things to do but that's okay because I know I will get there!

Now all that is out of the way and I'm settled I've now made a new blog and put all my old posts onto my new blog so my new or current followers have something to read whilst I'm creating new content!

I have some new and exciting ideas and I cannot wait to share them with you all, I'm hoping to do at least two posts before the end of the week, but if you follow me on Instagram or twitter (banner at the top of the post) Then you can see any updates about upcoming posts on there whilst keeping up to date with my daily pictures / tweets!

I just want to say a big thank you to those who have supported me from the start, but also any new followers too - It means a lot to me for you to take the time to comment/like or even read my posts.
It's something I love to do more than anything so I am thankful for you guys!
I'm also planning a giveaway as a thank you - so please keep your eyes peeled for your chance to enter!

Take care and thank you for reading,
Love Sarah x

First GLOSSYBOX of 2016 x

Hey everyone I am so pleased with the first glossybox of 2016!
Who else got this months box, what are your thoughts on the products ?? :D
I am SUPER excited for February's box, cannot wait to do another blog post on that for you guys.
Here's the products I received this month, I really hope you all enjoy my post and my genuine thoughts xxxxx

_________________________________________________________________________________

UNANI DERMO DEFENSE FACE MASK £11.36

So this dermo defense face mask is from the brand UNANI, I haven't really heard much about their brand but I did get one product last year in a birchbox which was a sample size.This product is full size and retails for £11.36 which is amazing for 100ml. I'm not sure on all of their products but I know this particular product isn't tested on animals, just for those of you who prefer make-up / skin care to not be tested on animals! I didn't bother taking a picture just based on the fact it's a clear gel, 

There isn't really a scent which is good for those who hate strong scented skin care, when you squeeze a bit out it does look very thick, but once you go to rub it into your skin it just turns into a thin watery consistency, which is a bonus as it will be easier to wash off. It is recommended for sensitive skin, and suggests you use it once or twice a week, all you do is evenly apply to your cleansed face, leave on for 10 minutes and rinse of with water, after use a toner all over your face.

I cannot wait to try this product out as I suffer from sensitive skin myself, I will be sure to let you guys know my thoughts.

You can find this product at comprarcosmetica.es

_________________________________________________________________________________

GLOSSYBOX EYESHADOW IN GLOSSY MAUVE £7.10

As all you glossybox addicts know, we never really get actual glossybox products all that much, so when you do they are completely amazing and blow your mind! This eyeshadow is full size and costs £7.10 and 3g of product.  I got mine in the shade GLOSSY MAUVE, a beautiful pale blueish purple toned shadow with tiny, tiny flecs of silver shimmer, it's also a satin eye shadow. It blends easily and is super pigmented, this will look so good in the crease! Can't wait to create a make-up look with this.

_________________________________________________________________________________

ANGELE Paris Red Nail Lacquer £6.32

If you are like me and you're obsessed with collecting nail varnishes then you'll love this just as much as I do myself, you can't go wrong with a beautiful red polish! This is from the brand ANGELE Paris, it's 11ml and costs £6.32. Obviously it's a nail varnish so there's not much I can write about it haha! Although I've heard it's long wearing when used with a base coat and top coat. 

I will let you all know and do a blog post about how long wearing it really is :D x

_________________________________________________________________________________

Teeez Cosmetics OASIS GEM LIPSTICK £11.93

As my lipstick was broken, glossybox was kind enough to send me a replacement AND a dove 60 second treatment shot for damaged hair, so once again thank you for amazing customer service! xx

As many other people are so in love with the design of the packaging, I am also obsessed!

It's so unique and different to any other lipstick I've ever seen to be honest. Now I personally think this product is a big hit or miss, I love the packaging, love the colour and the satin finish / scent... but the big miss for me was no matter how light you do a swatch OR apply it to your lips it just instantly snaps in half, I'm so gutted that this is the second time it's happened, but I will still try make it work or use a lip brush. Has anyone else had this problem? Other than that I love it, it has a very sweet scent though just to warn people who had strong scented lip products.

                                         Madara CELLULAR REPAIR SERUM £38
                                                                                      

This Madara cellular repair serum is luxury size which you get 15ml of product,

I'm hoping it's amazing to ever pay £38 for the full size, the consistency is thin and a bit watery but rubs into your skin easily, the colour of the product is sort of like a really pale mint green.

It's supposed to help plump your skin while boosting hydration and radiance.

I am excited to try this out, it does have a slight smell, but I can't quite put a finger on what it smells like haha, so if you guys know please enlighten me :')

Glossybox November 2015

Glossybox November - Lipstick To Lashes!

Hey everyone as promised I'm finally getting round to posting about this months Glossy box,
Which by the way is AMAZING, before I start please feel free to comment or contact me on Instagram with your favourite product(s) this month!

I'm so glad I got to pick my lipstick shade in time before they started just randomly selecting a colour for everyone, this month they worked along with Revlon to give everyone one of their super lustrous lipstick in the shade Black Cherry 477 which is full-size!

Even when their boxes are the plain ones they are still sleek and pretty always with that cute little bow! They are £10 a month +£2.95 post and packaging.. which is always worth it considering the price of the products you get each month!
                                                                    Lipstick To Lashes

_________________________________________________________________________________

Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick

I picked the shade Black Cherry 477!

I'm so bad when it comes to hoarding lipsticks or just any lip products in general,

 so to hear that they were working alongside glossy box this month I was so excited!!

The sleek packaging, the gold&black and the see through bit on the top of the lid so you can see the colour without opening in shops is so amazing, I couldn't wait to swatch this for you guys...

The excitement I had when I seen how creamy this lipstick was, was just incredible..

The pigment of the lipstick and how easily it glides on is beautiful.

I would seriously suggest anyone who doesn't have one of these lipsticks to buy one, totally worth the £7.99 espc when boots have 3 for 2!

_________________________________________________________________________________

Royal Apothic Moisturising Body Lotion 

I think in one of my previous boxes I had received a Royal Apothic lip tint, maybe last year but I'm not 100% either way I was impressed with that product, so to see I had another of their products I was very pleased :) it's not often you get a good body cream in boxes!

I must admit that the box for this body cream is the most amazing design I have seen for this type of product, swirls and flowers and posh writing for the design.

It contains lactic acid to gently smooth skin, while keeping it hydrated so it stays super-soft despite the chilly winter months.to use massage into damp skin post-shower to seal in the moisture.

This is not full size - but for a travel size this is such a big tube!

The full size costs £14.50 and their website is www.royalapothic.com

_________________________________________________________________________________

                                                              

                                                Emite Diamond Heart Primer        

I cannot express how happy I was to get a primer, I've had primers for eye shadow in boxes before but never for foundation! This product is also travel size which yet again... a decent amount considering it's not full size as a little goes a long way anyway :D

This illuminating soft focus primer has a peachy tint to it but once blended into your skin you obviously cannot see it, on the back of my hand it did look a bit blurred and felt amazingly smooth.

The peachy fluid balances skin tone, boosts radiance and creates a smooth finish.

I cannot wait to try this out on my face, the full size is £25.90 and can be found on their website which is www.emitemakeup.com

                                                                  Eylure - Natural Lashes 

As well as many other of you ladies I couldn't wait to get these Eylure lashes!
From peoples blogs/instagram posts I know some people got the natural ones or the more dramatic ones! I find I get on a lot easier with the natural ones as they aren't so thick near the band.

Depending how I get on with these I think they'll become my new holy grail lashes!

Eylure is such an amazing brand and at £5 a pack is a bargain.

You can get 25% off your first order on www.eylure.com by using the code 'Glossy25'

It expires on 30/11/2015 

_________________________________________________________________________________

                                                       MUA Eyeshadow Palette - Undressed

I own a few eye shadow palettes from MUA ( Makeup Academy ), 

but never thought of purchasing this one!

These shadows are so creamy and pigmented, I've always loved MUA's products!

I remember in like 2008/2009 when they first appeared in superdrug stores.

I actually created a look with these the other day and they blend amazingly well.

These palettes are £4 each and can be found in store/online www.superdrug.com

OR  If you order from them online www.muastore.co.uk

You can get 20% off everything using the code 'MUAGLOSSY'

Mini Superdrug Haul

Mini Superdrug Haul

Hey everyone sorry that it's been about a month since I last posted anything at all,
Thought I'd share with you all my little haul from today whilst waiting for my glossy box to arrive!

I hope you all enjoy! <3

_________________________________________________________________________________

So for weeks I've wanted a few of the new products from Makeup Academy (MUA)

I finally went today and purchased 3 items, which I am excited to show you all!

The first thing that caught my eye was the new primer from their Skin Define Hydro range,

I have heard it's an amazing dupe for Illamasqua's Hyrda Veil, which after using the Illamasqua's one that I had in my birchbox I can say so far the MUA version feels and looks the exact same (bar the packaging)

After opening it, I used a tiny amount (which I've figured goes  a long way)

As you can probably see, the formulation of this primer is gel - and as you can see once it was on my finger for a good few seconds it becomes thinner in consistency which is great!
I can't explain how much I am in love with this already, for this moment in time I've only tested it on the back of my hand, and it blended in so nice, it's lightweight and SO hydrating.

Brilliant product for dryer skin, excited to do a proper review to see how it wears with foundation!

They are £5 you can find them at any superdrug store or on their website.

_________________________________________________________________________________

I also picked up the skin define hydro powder with vitamin e and jojoba,

as I do get dry skin it was just common sense to get both the primer and powder, 

As you can see on the swatch the pigment is crazy.

It's a lightweight formula and the texture to me,feels super soft and not chalky at all!

I'm one for a matte make-up look so hopefully when I try this out properly it gives amazing results!

They are £3

_________________________________________________________________________________

The top picture is without the flash, and the bottom picture is with flash.

I own two of these already, but this is my first one since they re-done them and changed the packaging.

I got mine in the shade Tranquility, a gorgeous nude brown colour.

I did notice that the applicator is a bit different, and slimmer.
The scent and formulation is actually different to the old ones,
the new ones have a thinner formulation, but a much stronger scent...

Now that never usually bothers me, so if you aren't a fan of strong smelling lip products,

 then I'd stay clear of this. I applied it to my lips without exfoliating them  and using lip liner ...

The reason I done that was just to see how it would work alone, I would personally suggest exfoliating and using a lip liner before hand, they are £3 each! bargain..

_________________________________________________________________________________

The last make-up item I picked up was their new lipstick in the shade vintage rouge,

It is such a beautiful colour, when I swatched this on my hand I thought that it was super creamy and really does glide on like a dream, so I just had to try it on my lips!
Like before I never used a lipliner, just so I could see how it works alone..

It is so hydrating I am not even kidding you, it glides on without having to drag it across your lips, 

Although I know it's not a lip gloss, it has that sort of shine to it once applied.

I would suggest using a lip liner though just because of how creamy and thin it is.

Beautiful shade and beautiful lipstick all round, they are £1 each!!!
The from top to bottom the first picture below will be without flash, then the second one with flash.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

The last two items I picked up was from Aussie!

I picked up two bottles from their winter miracle limited edition design.

I am obsessed with their hair products and the smell is just to die for!
This is the first time I will have purchased the winter edition ones, 

it contains Australian Ginseng extract and Pearl Powder!
I can't explain how nice these ones smell, I got the 500ml shampoo and 400ml conditioner!
They are £5.99 a bottle BUT at the minute in superdrug they are £2.98.

Thank you for reading,

 sorry it's not much but I still like to get content up for you guys when I can!

Super excited as I am waiting for my glossybox to arrive so I can do an un-boxing for you,

I am also waiting for my kind friend's parcel that she has shipped to me all the way from Canada so that will be amazing to see what lovely things she's got me.

- Please feel free to ask any questions or even suggestions of make-up looks you would like to see on my blog, all my website details are on my blog page :D

Thank you once again, and I'll speak again soon..

Sarah xo. 

Glossybox October 2015

Glossybox - October 2015

Hey guys hope you've all had a great start to the week, as promised I'm sat doing my post about this month's glossybox! Can't believe it's now 20/10/2015! seems like yesterday October started!
Will be the new year before we know it - Sit back and enjoy the post <3 xxx

_________________________________________________________________________________

_________________________________________________________________________________

Jelly Pong Pong - Fairy Lashes Curl Mascara - £17.95
I actually received one of their mascaras a good few years back when I first subscribed to glossybox, 

I was excited that I got another one, the one I had before was different though where as this one is a mascara to help with curling your lashes! This mascara has a 100% cruelty-free formula, It claims to leave lashes with dramatic volume and intense definition so I cannot wait to try this out!
Gorgeous packaging and it's full size! If you want to check out more of their products please visit the

link I'll post it here >>>>  http://jellypongpong.com/
_________________________________________________________________________________

So Susan - Haute Light Highlighting Pencil £15

This peach-hued creamy crayon will flatter anyone, apply it along the inner rim of the eyes to make the whites pop or blend over your brow bones or cheek bones to boost radiance.

100% Cruelty-Free (We do NOT test our products or ingredients on animals)

The packaging is just so cute, anyone else think so?! It may be £15 but it's worth it considering that it's not tested on animals & the effort they put into the designs for the packaging. I am a sucker when it comes to highlighting my face so this will suit my super pale face! Excited to be trying this out when I get chance.

Please visit their website they're an amazing company! <3
http://sosusan.com/en/
_____________________________________________________________________________________________

Lanolips Antibacterial Hand Cream £8.99

Some people received Lanolips lip glosses, so when I knew I got this Antibacterial hand cream I was so excited, it's proven to kill 99.9 % of germs. I love it's sleek packaging completely travel friendly so I'll be taking this out with me everywhere from now on :)  I have actually used this and not only does a little go a long way, it doesn't have that thick or greasy feel which is great!
For some reason the card you get in your glossy box it says this product is £8.99 but the only place you can get it is boots, and their website says £9.99... 

Either way it's worth it as it does  what it says :D
_________________________________________________________________________________

Talika Photo-Hydra Day £24.85

As I suffer from dry skin I couldn't wait to get my hands on this product, it claims to be deeply hydrating, especially in the autumn/ winter! It has soothing and nourishing ingredients alongside plumping hyaluronic acid which will leave your complextion hydrated and primed!
This is so excited and I cannot wait to add this into my skin care routine :D

Please visit their website to check out their products! talika.com/US/GB/
_________________________________________________________________________________

Nicka K - Airbrush Blending Sponge £6.50

I was so shocked that I got a product that I can actually apply my make-up with, 

Although I'm happy enough receiving make-up products it's always nice to switch it around!
I've always been a 100% fan of applying my foundation with a flat top brush as I find it gives a more airbrushed flawless finish  ( my opinion ) so I cannot wait to try this sponge out as I've heard great things about Nicka K products. It feels dense and soft which is awesome!

If you want to see any of their other products feel free to visit their website!! nicka.com
