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.

Dry shampoo - The saviour.

The one downside about trying to go the gym a lot is washing my hair. I literally have to wash my hair as soon as I feel like I've gotten hot and sweaty. Greasy hair for me is a massive NO-NO. I'm utterly paranoid about having greasy hair. Anyway, whenever I go to the gym I always wash my hair with Aussie's Everyday Shampoo (boots). Simply because I hate the idea of having way too many unnecessary chemicals in my hair on a daily basis. However, the downside of this is that my hair does get semi greasy by the next morning/afternoon. Introduce this gem Batiste Dry Shampoo, my personal fav is the Blush, which I have in the biggest form. I generally go to the gym straight after work, which means that between the hours of 7:30am and 4:30pm I am stuck with whatever state my hair is in. There is no point washing it, if it's just going to be washed later on in the day or it might be because I want to sleep the extra 5/10 minutes.

With all that in mind, I needed a dry shampoo for me to basically function without worry about my hair. The only negative side affects of this product is that if you spray it too close, it will leave your hair grey/white. This needs to be thoroughly rubbed in with both hands and brush, but once this has been rubbed in it leaves my hair looking clean! It's a big worry and issue off of my shoulders. Highly recommend :)
