Life through my lens #6.

Hello everyone,

Seen as this is the last day of my half term, I thought a lifestyle-y round up post in the form of my Instagram feed was in order!

Wearing my favourite minty polish- Maybelline mint for life // Wagamama! Ginger chicken udon is the best // American Hustle was brilliant // Loving the dad's scarf and MAC Russian red combo // Another gorgeous shade- Topshop AWOL // the sweetest Fifi Lapin iPhone case // Guinea Pigs! // The perfect pink bath (the Lush's comforter and snow fairy shower gel FYI) // 'Taking pictures of myself' a la Nina Nesbitt.

I've actually done a fair amount this half term, seen lots of people and got a lot done. I had wanted to do a bit more blogging, but sometimes life just gets in the way you know?  Even though the nagging thought of approaching exams has been in my head, its been ok- and I think I am slowly getting somewhere with history revision! It's also been a dry week; thank god for the end of that torrential rain!

What have you been up to recently?

Review: Lush Cinders bath ballistic

Hi everyone, 

This seems to be the only way I start my posts these days, but yet again, I am sorry for my lack of activity! I have a week of hell mock exams, so I'm feeling a little worse for wear, but TGIF right! Last night I treated my to have relaxing bath using this Lush bath bomb `Cinders. 

The scent of this is divine and actually quite festive, definitely not one for the height of summer, but perfect for these cold December nights. It doesn't do anything spectacular to the bath water, just turning it faintly yellow (the bubbles above are from a Simple shower gel) however that means there is no cleaning up to do afterwards, result! I'm going to stock up on some really christmassy bath bombs because I have made my own little tradition of using one on Christmas Eve every year, and then snuggling down in some new pajamas :) 

What have you been up to lately? Have you tried `Cinders?`

Empties #1

Hiya sweeties, 

This is my first empties post! I've been keeping a bottles and everything for this for a while so lets get started! 

Technically this shouldn't be in my empties, but we'll roll with it! We bought a L'Occitane set for my Mum for her birthday and this came in it. I was allowed to use this occasionally and boy is it nice! It makes the perfect amount of bubbles with just two cap fulls and leave your skin so soft when you get out of the tub. The scent is heavenly, and I'm not even one for lavender! 

Would I repurchase it? Perhaps, it's pretty expensive, but I'd defo buy it for my mum again!

This Simple makeup remover is a total staple for me, I find its just so gentle on my eyes and removes everything so easily. I have slightly sensitive eyes so I'm not overly worried about using things on them, but I'm sure if you were concerned about irritation then you wouldn't have to worry with this!   

Would I repurchase it? Of course! I was planning to replace it straight away but my Mum ended up buying me a Garnier one instead, we shall have to see how they compare. 

I was gifted this in a set in Christmas and I loved it! It's basically the Tesco version of Soap and Glory but I don't mind that. This smelt AMAZING. Seriously, I think I prefer it to the S&G scent! This creates just the right amount of bubbles, and although it's not half as luxurious as the L'occitane bubble bath, it's just as enjoyable!  

Would I repurchase it? I wouldn't go out of my way to, but I did love it! 

When I finished this I was impressed and sure I would go on using it, but since I decided to buy the Rimmel Match Perfection foundation to replace it, I haven't looked back! I find it matches my skin tone much better and lasts alot longer. I did like this foundation, but I've found something much better. 

Would I repurchase it? See above!

I'm sure you are aware that I want longer hair (who doesn't!) and I bought this conditioner , along with the rest of the range in the hope that it might speed up my the growth of my barnet. To be honest, I really don't like this conditioner. I found that unless I used the hair treatment thing beforehand, it did nothing for my hair. You know how a conditioner is meant to sort of sink into your hair and make it feel really soft and nourished? Well it looks like this products didn't get the memo. I mean its ok and perfectly pleasant, but it didn't condition my hair or seem to make it grow! 

Would I repurchase it?I don't think so, unless the formula or something was changed! 

I featured this primer in my June favourites, and I have loved it for a long time! If you haven't already, read that post to see why :)

Would I repurchase it? I already have, and will do forever! 

This is another product I have already repurchased, I'm not so into hair products so I haven't tried that many heat sprays, but this one does the job perfectly. 

It smells divine, protects my hair and leaves it super soft, so yeah!

Finally I have a perfume. Normally I would be sad to finish a perfume, but this one was about six pounds from Next, so there's no hard feelings :p I kept this in my school bag and always loved giving myself a spritz with it during the day :) This smells soo good, I actually really Next perfumes.  

Would I repurchase it?I keep meaning to, so hopefully at some point! 

And thats my first empties post! 

Have you tried any of these products? What have you finished lately?
