How dirty.

Just after the christmas period there was a Lush sale online. I had a little bit of a look round and ended up getting some of my BELOVED Snow Fairy. However I was very limited on funds and wasn't able to buy anything else of the reduced Christmas selection. BUT, what I did decide to buy (because it was something I required!) was this; Dirty shaving cream.

When I finally got it through I was a bit.. unsure of how it was going to work. I'm very much used to the foamy sort of textured shaving cream etcetc. Instead this is a sort of liquid/creamy texture (clue was in the name really). I was also sceptical at the size, considering that this little baby set me back roughly £6ish. I was however, pleasantly surprised. The smallest amount of product would go very far. I only had to dip in twice to cover both of my legs completely. It then goes across the skin creating a semi-see through layer which not only protects the skin from the razor but, prevents it from going all red (I have sensitive skin & have this problem constantly after shaving). Sometimes my skin feels dry after shaving but again, I had no problem with it. The smell is actually lovely and it has left my skin feeling very protected and smooth.

I will most definitely be repurchasing this product when I run out of it. But I'm sure that wont be necessary for another couple of months.

Hopes everyone had a lovely time. This post would have had photos but, alas, my camera is dead. Christmas went far far far too quick. But I'm quite ready to wave goodbye to 2012, you have been a bizarre year.

Christmas involved a few near-death experiences as I skidded down the A12 to pick the boyf up. Dinner at Toby Carvery, where way too much food was consumed. Followed by the delight-able experience of present-opening. I am really delighted by the presents I got this year, I literally felt spoilt. New clothes & shoes which were gorgeous. Mac makeup and nail's inc nail varnish which is incredibly glittery. I got a few things from lush which I will be happy to try out, I love their stuff. I've managed to get my hands on some Snow Fairy; I absolutely love this product. I now take it to the gym with me, it's my little pat on the back to myself after every work out. I come out of the gym smelling lovely.

I'm hoping still, to get my hands on some soap & glory products but I am very very poor this month. After paying for Mama's spar day for her birthday and putting the deposit on my friend's hen night I have been left very light of pocket.

A few reviews to come once my camera is back to life!

Pass me the butter...

I'm not going to lie, I love Lush's bath bombs. In fact, if I could get away with it I'm sure I would have a bath bomb ever. single. day. No joke. I haven't been able to afford any lush stuff in months, so at the beginning of August, when I got paid I went straight into lush. I bought two things: 

1.) Dragon's Egg - Release the beast (Colour change; glittery; uplifting). I bought it for the fact that it sounded amazing, but when I popped it into my bath I had completely forgotten that it had glitter in it. Well, when I stepped out of my bath I looked like a glitter ball and so did my bed the next morning. So I guess, yes, it did deliver on improving my mood. It also smelt delicious too and my skin still smelt lovely the next morning alongside the glitter. I would definitely use this product again, maybe before a night out. To give that sparkly edge. Maybe.

 2.) Butterball - Fizzy Vanilla Musk Bomb. (Both photos). One of the main reasons I bought this was the fact that it had the words 'cocoa butter'. I could literally eat the stuff. Smelt absolutely GORGEOUS. As you can see it had some extras involved which surprised me as it buzzed around my bath. When I stepped into my bath I could already feel how it'd made the water feel, almost silky. It almost made my skin feel super smooth and continued to do so for a while after. 

I love everything about lush. To it's political stance, to it's forgiving packaging to the fact the products always live up to expectations. Will 100% be going back to buy these again.
