After Christmas I decided to treat myself to some Lush products and you'll see everything I got above. It's not the biggest haul as I am trying to watch my pennies and a few of the things I wanted were sold out. I will however try and review each of the items when I've used them.

First I would like to say I absolutely love Lush which I know I'm not alone in. They use great ingredients with great benefits. They have definitely changed the bath bomb and made it better. I remember when I was younger using my Mum's bath bombs which were usually plain white, had a slight floral sent, fizzed away to nothing and if you were lucky had a little message inside. 

I ordered my lush products online they were delivered in good time and well packaged. Online you have the chance to buy Lush Kitchen products.

Lush Kitchen as far as I have been able to find out is basically a small kitchen where they make new exclusive products daily the products would be made in batches and once they're gone, they're gone! When you add them to you'r basket there's sometimes a message telling you that kitchen products sell out fast and having them in your basket doesn't guarantee they will still be available when you check out. 

So onto my first bath bomb...

The first one I used was Golden Slumbers which is a Lush Kitchen product and the reason I bought it was for the description. It is described as a 'sleeping potion' and is made with lavender oil, chamomile oil and neroli oil which are ingredients to help you relax and to lift your mood.

I have been having a lot of trouble sleeping at nights recently, I can feel tired all day and as soon as my head hits the pillow I am wide awake struggling to settle down. So deciding to try natural ways to help me sleep this caught my eye.

I usually go for sweet smells and some lavender products are really not for me however Lush seem to do it just right this smelled beautiful. Once in the bath it was still a nice strong smell which may be overpowering for some but I felt the balance was just right. 

Once dropped into the bath it fizzes quite a lot, starts off yellow and turns to deep gold.

It looked amazing! There is a lot of glitter in this bath bomb which I know isn't for everyone but it is a very fine glitter which doesn't stick to the skin too much and is easily rinsed off. The glitter just makes the bath so mesmerising and along with the scent after around 5 mins my eyes were feeling very heavy. I would definitely say this helped me get to sleep and I had one of the best sleeps I've had in a while. I really didn't want to get out of the bath and if the water wasn't getting cooler and I wasn't starting to look like a prune I would of stayed in much longer.

Now I don't really have negatives for this but I do wish it was a permanent product or that I'd bought more than one. They may bring it out again sometime so I will keep and eye out for it and I know they have other products that claim to help you relax like the Twilight bath bomb I have yet to try.

The only other thing I can point out which doesn't bother me but I know some people might not like is the glitter left over the bottom of the bath once I emptied the water out. I have a shower head attached to the taps on my bath so it was really easy to rinse away but I have noticed some people don't really like glitter products.

All in all I really like this bath bomb and I would definitely use it again. For me it done exactly what it claimed and helped me relax and I got a great night sleep and woke up feeling fresh. I did have some glitter on my skin but that really doesn't bother me, who doesn't love a bit of shimmer. 

I'd rate it 8/10

Yesterday I received these beauties in the post and was super excited to try them out! Perfect reason for a new blog post.

I first heard about these through peoples videos on YouTube (Nicole Guerriero has been known to love these) and I had to get my hands on them but soon came to realise that they weren't as easy to get in the UK as they are in the States. 

You can imagine my excitement when I found out BeautyBay.com have started stocking them.

Beauty Bay sell them for £14.50 which I think is very reasonable especially when you compare it to other liquid lipsticks like Anastasia Beverly Hills which I believe retails at around £24. They have been very popular and have been selling out quite quickly.. last time I checked there are now only 4 shades available on the site which makes me so glad I got Berry Me 2 when I did but I'm sure Beauty Bay wont take long to restock (I'm hoping they wont anyway).

I only purchased 2 colours to start me off, I was only going to get 1 but it was too hard a decision to make. I've been loving berry tones recently so of course these ones caught my eye. They are very similar colours but Berry Me 2 has a brighter pink tone and to me is a little bit more fun.

Now I must admit I am quite new to the liquid lipstick scene I've been more of a Mac lipstick girl until recently and have only tried a few different makes. I have some of the Too Faced Liquid Lipsticks which I do like but find it a little watery and tends to bleed rather easy. 

Dose of Colors formula is more of a mousse texture is glides on so easy and one coat gives plenty coverage (I do prefer 2 though) I found it so easy to control the application of this too.

I loved these lipsticks straight away, the coverage is great, super easy to apply and they dry quickly meaning they don't smudge or bleed. I did worry they would be a little tight or uncomfortable but because of the formula they felt quite light and I hardly noticed them apart from if I was to rub my lips together. There was also very little transfer from both colours which I'm sure if I'd left them a while longer to dry there would have been none. These have quite a sweet  vanilla scent which I really like, a bit like the Mac lipstick scent but sweeter although once on the lips you don't really notice it.

Now one point I will make which may be a negative for some people is that it is rather difficult to remove. I used a wipe to remove the majority of it but this took some work it just didn't want to budge. I then decided it needed my cleansing balm to break it down but even after that I was left with a stain.

This for me is a positive as I would probably wear this if I was going out or needed something to last all day I hate having to constantly re-apply my lipstick all night and I don't think I would need to at all with this (maybe once after a meal but that's all) I will definitely be putting this to the test soon.

So if your looking for a liquid lipstick to try or are on the fence about these I definitely recommend Dose of Color! I'm definitely looking forward to having a look for more colours when I'm in America later in the year and I'm hoping Beauty Bay will stock more colours on their site.
