Lush Cosmetics - impulse purchases


literally cannot walk past Lush without strolling in and having a browse. I saw they had their valentines range out but somehow I managed to sway myself away from purchasing any of these apart from one product.. The Close to you massage bar I fell in love with Lush's Christmas fairy massage bar as I loved the smell, it was exactly like the body wash "snow fairy" the only downside was that the Christmas fairy massage bar was a bright pink colour so whenever I used it the colour would trasport onto my skin. This is why I love the close to you massage bar, because it smells exactly like the Christmas fairy massage bar, but because it's a lighter pink it doesn't stain your skin and leave you with an awkward Mr. Blobby tint!

I like to use this after I get out the bath by rubbing it all over my body and letting the oil soak in for 5 minutes before getting into my PJ's! When I wake up in he morning, my skin smells so good as well as being really soft and hydrated! 

The next product I purchased was the Lush Lipstick in charm. First of all, how cute is this packaging and name tag? This is originally what attracted me to the lipstick, but once I tried it I knew it needed to be mine! It glides on so easily and lasts for a few hours before I need to touch it up. I also love the fact that all Lush's products are 100% natural, it means you haven't got to worry about putting any nasty's on to your body. 

You can purchase either if these products from your local Lush store or via their website - www.lush.co.uk 

Kate Middleton Blowdry Ft. Neal & Wolf


So recently I was set an exciting challenge from the guys at Neal and Wolf to style my hair using a step-by-step guide and using two of their products, the ELEVATE* and the FIX* products. ELEVATE is a root boosting cream that creates fabulous volume and FIX is a pump hair spray to fix your hair do into place.

 

I created this look by:

1.Applying the ELEVATE lotion to my damp combed through hair from root to tip, using a 50p size amount.

2. Roughly dried my hair with a hairdryer.
3. Clipped my hair back into 4 sections.

4. Using my round brush, I blow dried each individual sections. 
5. Pinned my hair up and spritz with FIX hairspray and left to set for 10 minutes.

6. I then unclipped my hair, styled it by running my fingers through it and sprayed a tiny bit more hair spray to set it.

 

The final look is fab! It’s how my hair looks after having it done at the hair dressers. I’m really pleased I managed to create this look myself and how easy it was to do. I normally let my hair dry naturally, but I’ve noticed that this makes your hair really flat and limp like. This is the perfect party hair and I can’t wait to go out for my works do with my hair styled like this and my fur coat! Oo lala!

 

The smell of these products is so gorgeous, the best smelling hair products I have ever tried. The smell reminds me of the perfume Gucci Guilty, and I can smell it throughout the day, it’s like a perfume for your hair!

 

You can purchase these products from Neal and Wolf – www.nealandwolf.comboth products cost £12.50 each. They also have some lovely gift sets, so please check them out, next on my Neal and Wolf wish list is their Candle!
