Little Haul

I went down to Bath for the weekend for my auntie's wedding and i did a little shopping. I first went to Lush as the smell was enticing as always and i could smell it from three streets away. I went over to the face masks at first. I'd bought the cupcake face mask previously which is suited for teenage skin but i didn't see any improvements at all so i was put off their face masks for a while but i decided not to judge all their face masks on just one of them so i bought cosmetic warrior.
 It is meant to cleanse skin and soothe troublesome skin. It has to be kept in the fridge so when you apply it, it does feel very cooling and refreshing. The smell is very off putting but i over looked the smell and i did see a difference in my skin. Afterwards my skin felt very soft and the day later many of my breakouts had calmed down so i will continue to use it if it keeps on giving good results.
It has a creamy texture but contains small particles which provide some exfoliation for the skin. It costs £5.50 from any Lush shop and if you do suffer from troublesome skin then i would definitely recommend this product if you can over look the smell.
I also bought two soaps, one of which is my favourite Lush soap that i have bought before. It's the rock star soap. It has a very bubbly pink colour and the smell is of a sweet, sugary bubblegum pink that's to die for! It lathers very well and this is my favourite ever soap.
 I got 106g which comes to £3.45
I then went and looked at the Christmas collection and the Snow globe soap didn't appeal to me with appearance but the smell smells just like honey and lemon strepsils which i love and as it's limited edition i bought it.
 It has a very true blue colour and the smell is irresistible! I received 148g for £3.78
 Both of the soaps i bought
I then went to the Mac counter in Jolly's and i bought three eye shadows in the pan for my mac palette. All three colours 
From Left to Right: Brule, Naked Lunch, Woodwinked
 Brule, is a creamy-beigne colour with a Satin Finish. I needed a nice highlight and this does the trick
 Naked Lunch is a Frost finish and is a pinky champagne colour
 Woodwinked is a veluxe pearl and a warm antique brown

Nails of the Day

I have just painted my nails a colour that is my newest feature in my nail polish collection. I got it in my glossy box and it's the Leighton Denny nail polish 'Babydoll' which is a bubbly baby pink with no shimmer.
I added two sheer coats to create a full coverage finish, i will defiantly be wearing this colour a lot as it i believe it compliments my skin tone well and i enjoy the pretty colour that this nail polish provides
The only disadvantage of this nail polish is the extremely slow drying time. It seemed to take forever for this nail polish to dry but i believe the results are worth it if you have some time to kill.
I couldn't find this specific colour on the website but they have many other colours very similar to this colour that you could choose from if you're interested.

Finally a stila smudge waterproof eyeliner in moray. A deep olive green with golden shimmer for a gorgeous glow that really captures the sunlight. Very pigmented and a great hint of subtle colour.

Marc Jacobs Lola perfume

My mum recently went on holiday and when she came back she had bought me this perfume which i have wanted for a long time. On first impressions i was not let down as the perfume smelt just as i had remembered it in the shops, it is a very girl, florally scent, but has a hint of a sexy and flirtations scent throughout it. They come in two sizes.
Small (30ml/1.0 Fl oz) -£37
Large (100ml/3.5 Fl oz) - £63
These are only rough prices, they may vary depending on where you buy them.
I would definitely reccomend this perfume to anyone who loves sexy, girly scents as this is one and i love wearing it day and night and for all occasions and i have been complimented on it a few times.
