A Bright Lush Haul


I was super excited when I heard that my local Lush is now stocking the products that use to be only available in the Oxford Street store. I managed to pick up a couple of new products - beware they are very bright and colourful. 

Pink Flamingo £4.95 
Look, it's a flamingo! There was no way I was walking past this in the shop. When I smelt it up it reminded me of their Christmas range as I think it smells very much like snow fairy. I really like it when bubble bars are on a stick because they are easier to keep and it's better when holding it under the tap. After looking at the ingredients, I feel like it is going to make my skin super soft and moisturised due to some of the ingredients. 

This is one of those really big bath bombs where I feel I might use it in a couple of baths because it's so big. I really love the design of this bath bomb with the geometric shape and the colours (underneath is white and orange, with a little purple around the edge btw). I can't wait to use this bath bomb after seeing all the amazing colours it produces once in the water. I find the scent to be unusual, I find that it's sweet but also spicy. 

I have the tea tree toner water but I've recently run out and I was recommended by the women in the store to get these tabs instead of another bottle. With these, they are super relaxing as you pop them into some boiling water then put your face over the steam then allow the essential oils to enter your pores. With the rest of the water pour it into the pot then use the water again. It's also perfect if you have oily or spotty skin. 

Love the name for this bubble bar. Again one of the reasons I picked this up was because of the bright colours that have been used. The scent of this one is spicy with a hint of citrus. I find that it is always nice to have some savoury bath bombs (does that phrase fit?) because sometimes sweet scents can be too overpowering and sickly. 


Have you tried anything from their new range? 

Book Haul


How to be Vegan by Elizabeth Castoria 
This was the first book I bought when I was researching veganism. When you get to read into it there is so much great information, that I never heard of before. It extremely helpful if you are in the transition of a meat eater to a more vegan lifestyle. I do have the admit the recipes inside aren't really my taste of recipes and it's quite American as nearly all of the recommended restaurants are in the USA.


The Glam Guide by Fleur de Force
Believe it or not, this is actually the first book I have bought that has been written by a YouTuber. I mentioned late last year that I really wanted to read this book this year, and it looks like I have now. There are actually some great pieces in this book, I especially love the section on blogging and fitness. However, I do think that some of the articles are for younger teenagers who are just getting into beauty, fashion etc.

Keep it Vegan by Áine Carlin
This was a rather cheap book considering how good it is, another reason I bought this book. I love so many recipes in this book due to the simplicity of them, I have actually cooked a few and they were very tasty. I will defiantly be continuing to use this book in the future. A highly recommend this book to everyone, even if you aren't a vegan, it's great to add more fruit and veg into your diet. 


Deliciously Ella by Ella Woodward
I've been wanting this book for ages now, after always hearing so many brilliant reviews everywhere. I've flicked through and there are some amazing dishes, but I have to admit that I haven't actually cooked any yet (I don't really know why). One day I really want to try the sweet potato brownies. I will defiantly be buying her new book which is released early next year. 


Get the Glow by Madeleine Shaw
Recommended by Millie Mackintosh. There are loads of great recipes that I've tabbed, however, this book isn't really vegan (as she uses meat, eggs, dairy etc). Another great feature in this book is the '6-week program to get the glow'. Recently she has brought out a smoothie range. I was super excited when Madeline said she was releasing this book due to loving her YouTube channel and blog. In all the pictures, Madeline looks great and so does the food.

Lush Easter Haul




Golden Egg // £3.50
Fluffy Egg // £2.95
Bunch of Carrots // £5.95


I'll start off by saying Happy Easter! I hope you've had a great long weekend in the sun and eating lots of chocolate (I know I have)!
I have to say when I walked into Lush I was so excited because their Easter range is my second favourite range. However when I looked around I was a bit disappointed because they didn't have much stock in, I don't know whether they had run out or just don't stock everything. I managed to pick up 3 items. Rant over now on to the products! When I saw these I just had to grab them, they are so cute. They are such a bargain as you get 3 carrots for just £5.95. The carrots are a bubble bar so you just hold the green straw and swish around your bath and wait for the bubbles, these are great because you can use multiple times and will last for quite a few baths. They are said to have a tropical scent with lemon, and grapefruit, I really like the smell of these. Now on to the glitteriest of them all, I just had to pick this up because look how pretty and shiny it is. This is a bath bomb so just drop in the bath and let the magic happen, I can't wait to use this one! It is said to have a toffee-honey smell, but personally, I think it smells more toffee. Finally the Fluffy Egg, I bought this one last year and loved it, if you like the smell of Snow Fairy you will enjoy this one. This is very sweet smelling and said to smell of sweet sugar and candy, a very girly scent. It's a bath bomb so just like the golden egg drop in the water and let the magic happen. I will definitely be buying this one again next year.
