The best bathbombs ever.

Bathbombs

i recently went to the lush shop and bought two gorgeously smelling bathbombs. I bought Party Popper which is in the christmas line and The Enchanter which was the limited edition halloween one.

-Party popper
The party popper bathbomb is GORGEOUS. I smelt it and had to buy it. It had a citrusy smell to it and when it was in my bath it turned the colour pink and left behind loads of little pieces of soap to wash with in the bath also when it is fizzing in the bath you can hear the popping candy that is in it popping. It retails for £2.90 and that is great for the most amazing bath ever.



-The Enchanter
This is the best smelling bathbomb i have ever smelt and for £3.20
 it is most deffinately worth it. When i was in the shop the man gave us a demonstration of the colour it would go in your bath and it was beautiful. It turned from orange to yellow to pink but i was scared when i brought it home it wouldnt be the same in a larger tub. So when i put it in i was abit nervous. But it suprised me and turned my bath into all 3 vivid colour and it smelt gorgeous! I really want to reperchase this but i don't think they still sell it as it was a limited edition one for halloween which is sad so i hope they bring it back out.


I will deffo buy more bathbombs from lush cos they are just amazing. I can't wait to try more from the christmas line.

review of naked 2 pallette..

I have wanted to buy one of the naked pallettes ever since i had heard of them, they are perfect for all occations, as there are light cream/brown colours and also dark matte black colours for night, but of course you can still mix it up however you want.

I have to say it is the best eyeshadow pallette i have ever purchased. The reason i bought it was because when i was on the plane on the way to going on holiday it was reduced from £36 to £30. I know it is still a lot of money but i knew it was worth the money because i'd use it all the time. The colours are great and very pigmented. I know buying a pallette this expensive isn't for everyone so if you didnt want to splurge you could buy the MUA heaven and earth pallette as a dupe for it.

Here are some pictures and swatches :-
 

 It also comes with a lip pumping gloss and an eyeshadow brush.

 

I would highly recommened this palette to anyone wanting to buy a great eyeshadow palette,

How to Have Big, Wavy Hair with No Heat?

This is how to get beautiful wavy hair..


Step One
Have a shower, with damp hair part your hair in the middle and section your hair into 2. Do either two french plaits or normal plaits, you can either do to plaits or just one depending on the thickness of your hair. TIP; i wouldn't do lots of little plaits cos you might end up looking like a poodle. Not a good look.


Step Two
Sleep in your french plaits and when you wake up all you have to do is take out your plaits. You wil be left with beautiful wavy hair and if won't take you forever in the morning. Effortless.


Step Three
Well i usually back-comb my hair abit for extra volume but if you are not a fan of back-combing thats okay because it is not needed for this look, i just prefer it for me. Then hairspray and your ready to go.


A simple hairstyle which takes about 5 minutes in the morning.

Skincare Routine

I do my skincare rountine just before i go to bed. I have just started using LUSH Products and i use alot of it in my routine. I start off by taking off my eye-makeup as i use alot of mascara/eye-shadow's. I take my garnier gentle eye make-up remover and put it on a cotton wool pad,i then take off all my eye make-up. I then take my lush ultrabland cleanser and spread it out all over my face, using my fingers, and sometimes take a hot flannel and remove excess dirt/oil. But sometimes just take it off with a cotton wool pad. I then take my breath of fresh air toner put it on my cotton wool pad i then put it all around my face and it removes every piece of make-up i had on my face that day.
Also 2 times a week i use lush's cupcake facemask and once a week i use Sanctuary's brightening facial scrub which i share with my mum.
Hope this helps anyone who is thinking of trying any new skincare. All the products in this routine i think really work, but this is just my opinion.

How to style American Flag Shorts?

-Perfect for summer.

Here are some shorts i recently bought from Topshop. They were £34 and i love them! Here are some ways to style them:-


Leather Biker Jacket
I think with these shorts on a windy day these shorts, a white vest and a Black biker jacket would look great together. Here is a link to a gorgeous biker jacket i found on the Topshop website:
http://www.topshop.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?beginIndex=0&viewAllFlag=&catalogId=33057&storeId=12556&productId=4196610&langId=-1&categoryId=&searchTerm=biker


Over-The-Knee Socks
Over the knee sock will look great with these high-waisted shorts. I think Black or White ones will look great with these tucked into and over-sized, off the shoulder jumper. You can get over the knee socks from primark very cheap. Primark doesnt have a website so i can't add a link to the socks.


Band T-Shirts
I have got a cream Beatles top and i sometimes wear it with these shorts. I bought my Beatles top from H+M for £10. You can wear any t-shirts/vests but i think band tops look really good with these shorts!

My Favourite Make-up Products

Scandal Eyes Mascara

My favourite ever mascara has to be scandaleyes by rimmel.
The retail price for this mascara is £6.99 from boots, but you can buy it for £5 in bodycare. BARGAIN!
I like to have long thick eyelashes and with this you it looks instantly thicker and longer and you don't have to pile on layer after layer. I would definately recommend this mascara as it is my favourite. I don't see the need to spend loads of money on a high-end mascara when you can buy this affordable mascara which really works.

Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation

I absolutly love this foundation, my mum bought it for me a couple of months ago and i have loved it ever since. The retail price for this is £26.50 but it really works. It stays in place for hours on end in any weather, and doesn't fade or change colour. It is a matte finish and covers any redness and blemishes. You just have to make sure before you use it you put on any moisturiser as this foundation is very drying. This foundation has won a beauty club award 2012. I think if you are thinking of splurging on a good foundation which will make you look flawless i would definately reccommend this one!

Mac Mineralize Skinfinish in Soft and Gentle

This is the best highlighter in the world. I got this as a christmas present and i am in love with it and it will look good on all skin tones. The retail price for this £21.50 which is quite pricey but it is worth it and is very long-lasting! I am just in love with it! Mac's mineralize skinfinish come in two shades the lighter one is Soft and Gentle and if you have a darker skin tone you could try Gold Deposit instead.

MUA Dusk Till Dawn Eye Shadow Pallette

I recently purchased this eye shadow as it was only £4 and i had heard alot of hype about it but when i used it for the first time i was shocked by how pigmented and pretty the colours are. I did my sister's makeup last weekend and i used this pallette and did a smokey eye for her and she said she got loads of compliments from her friends asking her where her eyeshadow was from. There are 12 beautiful shimmery colours for only £4. I think if you want an affordable eye shadow pallette which you can wear either during the day or at night, i think you should definately get this one!

Bobbi Brown Gel Eyeliner in Black Ink

This is the best eyeliner i have ever used. It is the most long-wearing and if you put some of it in the morning it will stay there for the rest of the day and not smudged at all. I love how pigmented it is and it looks good with alot of mascara/false eyelashes. This is an amazing beauty product and i highly recommend it. The retail price for the eyeliner is £15.50 and if you want to buy the Bobbi Brown eyeliner brush, that is £21 which is very expensive but it is the best brush you can use for this gel eyeliner.
