LUSH Shower Gels; LUSH stores/online; £4.50/£3.75; 100g
Snow Fairy is a Lush Christmas classic so I knew I had to get it. Although when I smelled it last time I was in Lush I didn't actually like the super sweet scent, a second time round I had a change of heart and decided to pick it up. I also got So White as I love the smell of the bath bomb version so I thought I best grab it. Weirdly So White is more expensive than Snow Fairy (something I didn't realise until I looked at my receipt later on) but I'm sure there is a reason. So White smells of apples and has a very fresh scent so I think it would be a good pick me up in the mornings. They're both quite shimmery which I actually really like so they should make for a nice shower. I do think that the shower gels from Lush are slightly overpriced (I bought tiny bottles and one of them was still almost £5!) but I'm hoping that a little will go a long way.
LUSH Drummers Drumming Bubble Bar; LUSH stores/online; £5.25
In all honesty I bought this for the cute bells. I also love the idea of a bubble bar on a stick and I prefer this scent to the Magic Wand bubble bar. The Lush website says that this is supposed to smell like strawberries and cream but I don't really agree - it does smell really good anyway though so I'm looking forward to trying it out!
Golden Wonder Bath Bomb; LUSH stores/online; £3.75
I love the smell of this bath bomb so much! It smells kind of like sherbet and is a super cute present shape. Every time I get it out of the bag my hands get covered in gold dust so I kind of dread to think what I'll be like when I get out of the bath! I am really excited to try it though as it's one of the nicest smelling things I bought.
Ice Blue Soap; LUSH stores/online; £3.10 per 100g
I'm not much of a solid soap kind of person but I really liked the smell of this (it's kind of minty but not too much like toothpaste!) so I picked it up too. I might use it as a shower soap rather than a hand soap but whatever I use it for I'm sure it'll be really great!
L'oreal Color Riche Natural Lipstick (256 Blush Fever); Boots; £6.99
When I went into Boots I wasn't planning on buying anything (as if that ever happens) but I was quite intrigued by the premise of having specific lipsticks for particular hair colours. They range from light blonde to dark brunette and were designed to look fairly natural without being nudes. I grabbed one of the light brunette shades and having tested it out when I got home I think it's going to be one of my favourite lipsticks! It added a lovely colour without being too in your face and I think it would be great for casual wear even though it does have a slight shimmer to it. It glides on really nicely as well as having a very pretty finish and I will probably pop out to Boots to get a few more shades soon!
Bright Kohl Eyeliner Pencils (03 + 05); Hema stores/online (link); £2.50 each
A shop that I hadn't heard of before popped up in one of my typical shopping locations and as I was enticed by the brightly coloured nail polishes near the window I headed inside to have a quick look. I soon found inexpensive make up, candles and a very wide variety of other products. I am yet to try out my colourful eyeliner pencils - I picked up a green and a purple - but I'm hoping that they will be good so that I can continue to shop there, I might try some of the nail polishes next time!
Bow Necklace; Hema stores/online; £3.95
Again from Hema I picked up this gold (I think it might be very slightly rose gold, actually) necklace. I thought it was really cute and a great price as well as being something which I think I will really enjoy wearing and will go with a lot of outfits!
Essie Nail Polish (Stylenomics); Superdrug; £7.99; 13.5ml
As much as I have zero need for more nail polish I decided to get this as I've never actually owned an Essie nail polish before (shocking, I know) because I really loved the colour. It's a very dark green, almost black colour which I think will be great in the colder and darker months - especially around Christmas time! I'm definitely looking forward to trying this and seeing if Essie nail polishes are really as good as everyone says they are.
Hot Pink Satchel; WHSmith; £19.99
I have a weakness for satchels. They're just so my style and I love them immensely. Unfortunately my favourite satchel company - Cambridge Satchel - are just so expensive so I can't really get one at the moment. This satchel has a very similar design for a fraction of the price so I couldn't let it slip through my fingers! I have actually owned this exact satchel in a different colour before but it broke after less than a week of use and I ended up returning it but I'm hoping that it was just a fluke and that this one will last me a while.
Well that was quite a long post - congratulations if you made it to the end! Have any of you tried any of the products mentioned? Let me know!
Thanks for reading,
Eleanor xx
