Mini Haul

I recently went for a mini shop round Meadowhall and picked up a few little bits. 

Keep reading to see what I got. 

First stop, Superdrug: I'd been wanting to get a few things from here for a while and I thought I may as well get them before I run out of money (which I will at some point or another). 

The first thing I got was the Superdrug Cotton Wool Double Faced Pads for £1.89. I love these pads a fair bit and thought they'd go brilliantly with my Garnier Cleansing Micellar Water for £4.99. I've used this twice already, and I just love how amazing it is. It really does work wonders when it comes to removing your make up. I will have to see if it breaks me out or anything, but so far so good! 

The next thing I got on my mini shopping trip was some new Shampoo & Conditioner. I'd been needing some for a few days after running out of my original ones. That weekend I'd gone to my fella's for a few days, and that's where I found my next buy. I was quite lucky that I found a good deal with these as well - 3 for £10 is not bad at all! I got the Aussie Shampoo Miracle Moist £4.49, the Aussie Conditioner Miracle Moist £5.99 and the Aussie 3 Minute Miracle Reconstructor £4.99. What attracted me to these the most was the smell. I absoloutely fell in love with the scent of these. You don't even have to open the bottles, you can smell it from far away which I think is a must with good hair products. You want your hair to smell nice right? I'll have to update you on how it goes with these but I'm liking them atm. 

The next place I visited was Victoria Secret. I wasn't really sure what I was looking for, I'm just very easily intrigued by how a shop looks... and thanks to the semi naked pictures of women, so was my boyfriend. We dotted around the place, and after just about leaving with nothing, I came across the body butters. Wow is the only word I can use to describe these. They are just so lush. What got me, was the colour of the butters. There was purple ones, yellow ones even blue ones. I was just so utterly shocked at how pretty they all were. Anyway, after much decision changing (and trust me there was a lot), I finally picked my favourite. It was the Such a Flirt Deep-Softening Body Butter £13. I could of got 3 for £24 but I decided against it. The smell is outrageously gorgeous, my boyfriend thought it was mangoes bless him. It's actually Starfruit and White Orchid. Admittingly, the scent doesn't last that long but truth be told, I don't care. I got this mainly for the softness and how moistursing it is. 

You can't have a mini shop without a trip to Lush. Well I can't anyway. I didn't even know that there was one in Meadowhall so I was pleasently surprised when I came across this one. (My boyfriend less so)

I held back quite a lot and only came home with 2 bath bombs. One of them was my favourite, which I've just done a blog post about here. The second one I got was something I've never tried before but for £2.65 I thought I may as well give it a try. I got the Think Pink which I have another blog post about it coming soon.

I also got a new lipbalm (which I forgot to take a piccy of) but it was the Carmex Cherry Lip Balm which I'm obsessed with btw and some doughnuts from Krispy Kreme (sorry I ate them before I could take a picture)... but for those wondering, I got the Strawberry Gloss, Cookie Crunch and Strawberries & Kreme (which I never got to try because my boyfriend ate it -.-) 

Have you picked up anything nice lately? 

Lush: Think Pink Bath Bomb Review

I recently went into Lush and came out with 2 bath bombs. One of them being my favourite which you can read about here, the other being a brand new one (for me) that I've never before tried. I was quite excited when I picked this one up.

1. It's pretty. 

2. It had a nice scent to it. 

3. It was inexpensive. 

& 4. The name had the word "Pink" in it (my favourite colour). 

Think Pink  cost me only £2.65. That's kind of expected considering the size of it. It's quite a small bath bomb, smaller than I'm used to anyway but I thought it was a cute little thing and I wanted to give it a try. 

I have to admit, I am very dissapointed with this product. I'm not really sure what I was expecting from it, but for me I just found it quite boring. It didn't excite me like I wanted it to do. 

Even the video which I took of it, nearly bores me to death. 

For those who want to see what it does, you can view it here. 

As you can see from the video (if you have the time to watch)... it doesn't do much. 
Maybe I just have my expectations a little to high, and who knows maybe you like it? 
But for me, it's just a little to plain. Don't get me wrong, I love the colour it turns my bath but the scent is hardly noticeable and to me there's not enough colours. The only thing that I liked about this product was the tiny heart confetti pieces that I found floating around my bath tub. 

I'm most likely not going to be repurchasing this bath bomb again but for what it's worth it wasn't all that bad, and definitely not my worst buy. 

Granny Takes a Dip Review

I recently did a blog post related to my top 5 Lush products, and funnily enough soon after I had a little shop in Lush and bought some new products to try out. 

My all time favorite is now the "Granny Takes a Dip" Bath Bomb, and here I tell you why. 

£3.25

What excited me the most about this bath bomb wasn't just the colours but the size of it as well. Looking at here, it doesn't look that big but being honest, this bath bomb is huge which kind of took me by surprise as they are usually quite small. I was so eager to try this out, that I used it within the first night of buying it. 

The bath bomb is made up of four layers of colours as you can see in the above picture. A neon pink surrounds the other colours, which entails a dusty blue, a cherry red, and a bright green. 

As soon as I removed the bath bomb from the packaging, I rightly remembered why I'd bought this instead of any others. The scent from this bath bomb was just beautiful; made up with ginger, pepper and lemon, Granny Takes a Dip makes up quite a unique fragrance which sadly doesn't last long enough in my opinion.

As soon as you pop it into your bath, you'll start to notice the bath bomb fizz away into all sorts of foamy colours and patterns. I was quite amazed at how it did this, so I think I spent the majority of my time just watching it happen. 

The bath bomb starts to gush out the colours, and form a rainbow pattern in the water. It slowly trails around the bathtub, taking around 10 minutes to fully dissolve. Once the pattern has completely gone, the bath water is left a beautiful dark purple colour. 

My skin felt amazing when I left the bath tub. I felt so smooth and moisturized which to me was a pleasant surprise. 

All in all this is by far my favorite bath bomb, ever. I loved it so much, I went back to get another one which I very kindly gifted to my sister for her 17th Birthday. 

For £3.25 it's really worth the money and I highly recommend it to my readers.
