Get ready with me!

I thought I'd try a get ready with me put im going to break it up into bathtime, outfit, nails and face. If it goes down well I'll carry it on! So here we go, I haven't featured  myself in this, hope that is okay?

If you seen my last lush review about the Luxury Lush Pud Bath Ballistic, then you may have guessed I had a long relaxing soak in the tub before getting ready!


I wash my hair using Vo5 smoothly does it shampoo and Yes to Tomato's conditioner, it leaves my hair feeling great and looking glossy. I used Philosphy's purity to wash my face and Boots strawberry shower creme to wash the rest of my body. 


After I got out the bath, I applied the serenity green apple body lotion (smells so yummy, and in the shower currently I have apple shampoo and apple body wash, #loveit) the lush breath of fresh air toner and The Greeench deodorant powder and the Dr Nick Lowe Super charged spf15 day cream and 


To keep smelling lovely I then sprayed this warm vanilla sugar body spray and the Vera Wang perfume in Lovestruck (one of my faves and I'm nearly out!)


My next step is my make-up, which will be up in a couple of days! Thanks for reading, if you have any recommendations leave them in the comments below!

Lush review: Luxury Lush pud

I know, I know, I'm sorry this is a Christmas one and is no longer available but I thought I'd do it anyway.


This little ball of excitement is Lush's Luxury Lush Pud, it's only available at Christmas time so I don't know the price but what I do know is that, it is the same scent as the Twilight bath bomb so if you like the smell of that you'll love this one. With the 'soothing lavender fragrance and calming pastel colours' it makes this bath bomb perfect for bed time, although that's not when I used it ahah. Sometimes when I have lush baths, I'm not that tempted to stay in but with this one, I could have stayed in for hours! The water turned the most amazing shade of purple and it was heavenly! I only bought one of these in the sale after Christmas and I soooooo regret not buying more.



Would I repurchase? YES, in a second!



Just look at it!

Things I'd love to love!

You know those beauty things everyone does, or raves about, and I think to myself, why don't I like that? Why doesn't that work for me? How do they do that? Well I'm going to tell you that now! Hahaha.
Things I'd love to love!

Winged eyeliner - *huff* this makes me very sad, I have very small eyelid area, like Blake Lively (You know coz we're exactly the same!) It's called hooded eyelids, and I can't really wear eyeliner on my eyelid which makes me sad because I think it's a good look and it makes me jealous.

Curling my eyelashes - I don't understand, i don't think this makes any difference what so ever? I just don't see what the point is, I'm also terrified of trapping my eyelid or cutting my eyelashes off!

Loose pigments - I'm far too clumsy, I spill things everywhere, I get them everywhere but I think they're pretty amazing, and I've seen some beautiful ones that I'd love to try, but I get scared!

Mascara on my bottom lashes - again comes back to small eyes, and it gets all over my face too, I just can't seem to pull this off.

Using Hairspray - I use it once in a blue moon when I've tried to curl my hair. It doesn't seem to do anything for my hair, that may be because it's SO thick. But I envy people with beautiful, put together hairstyles!

So what products don't you get on with? Are any of yours the same as mine?
