Bigger Lush Haul

All right, so I know I just did a Lush haul a couple days ago, but I just couldn't resist going back! I convinced my boyfriend that I needed to go to Lush again, it's like an addiction. And he happily complied, and we were on our way! It just smells soo good in there, I love it! This haul is much bigger than last time, but I've been without for so long. I'm just trying to get my fix! I should be set for at least a week this time! ;)


First of all, I had to get some more bath bombs! They're just so much fun! I thought I'd let my boyfriend pick something out, and he picked Space Girl Ballistic! This smells absolutely amazing! They call it the "stellar blackcurrant-y bath time invader." I used this one last night in the bath, and the blackcurrant smell was so good, I never wanted to get out, which could be a problem haha! One of the things I loved about this one were the gold glitter on top, made the water look so sparkly and purple!

Then to fuel my obsession with bath bombs I picked out the most girly one they had, Mrs. Whippy! This one is so pretty! It was made to resemble a soft serve, with pink sprinkles on top! Lush calls this one an "indulgent, relaxing soaker!" It is meant to soothe dry skin by using soya milk powder, which is supposed to make the water creamy and milky. I'm definitely going to make sure I have lots of spare time to enjoy this one!

And I picked up Sakura to finish up my collection thus far! Sakura smells so good as well (what bath bombs don't!?) It reminds me of so much of the springtime! And that's exactly what Lush says as well, they call it a "refreshing floral dip into springtime". I have a funny feeling this may become my favorite bath bomb, it doesn't seem to be known as one of the super exciting bath bombs, but rather it is subtle and relaxing. Can't wait to try it, but I also want to save it at the same time! Even the sales girl was excited about this one as well, so that's always a good sign!

Then I had to pick up a bubble bar, I haven't had one of these in ages and it was pretty long overdue for another! I picked up Rose Jam, which is a bubbleroon, so cute! I just love how they modelled them after macaroons! I plan on splitting this one in two so that I can get two uses out of it, I'm all for saving money!

I also picked up the No Drought Dry Shampoo! I've been looking for a really good dry shampoo for so long now. All the ones I've tried haven't really helped my hair at all. So I am super excited to see what I think of this one! I have high hopes! I will definitely be doing a review on this soon, after I try it out for a while, so be on the lookout for that soon!

And lastly I received a small sample of Ocean Salt! It is a coconut cream and sea salt scrub for the face and body! I'm looking forward to seeing how this is, as the sales girl told me it is super exfoliating but also super moisturizing! And interesting combination, so I'll let you know what I think!

So as you can see I went a little crazy this time at Lush! I've got to thank Chris my boyfriend for this one! Seriously the way to a girls heart must be Lush, because who can pass up these amazing products! Let me know what your favorite Lush products are! 

Happy Living!

Small Lush Haul

Hello all! I've been dying to do a Lush haul ever since I started my blog! However, I was delayed since I needed to actually buy stuff from Lush first. So I finally went to the store today and I was way to excited, my boyfriend wasn't exactly thrilled though, but oh well! haha If I can go into countless "sports" stores, then I don't feel that bad about Lush! I haven't been to a Lush store in years, it's honestly been way too long. The last time was when I had a layover in Toronto airport, which was so well equipped with a Lush, how thoughtful! But there was never a Lush near where I lived. So when we moved to London and I realized there was one at the mall I was ecstatic! I only picked up a couple things, but trust me I will be getting much more in the near future! I'm so excited to use the Lush stuff I got though!


I picked up the Big Blue bath bomb which the sales lady told me would be like taking a bath in the ocean. Sounds good to me! It is mainly made up of lavender, lemon oil, sea salt and seaweed. I'm super excited just to see what this one is like, it smells so good already!

I also picked up the You've been Mangoed bath melt. I've heard so many beauty bloggers rave over this, that I had to give it a try and see what all they hype was about! It mainly is made with mango and avocado butters, lemon and lime essential oils as well as lemongrass. Lush claims this as one of the most invigorating scents in the store, and I believe them. It smells absolutely amazing, and just the warmth of my hand makes it melt already! I'm looking forward to using this for sure!

I was also given a free sample of Trichomania Coconut solid shampoo. It's supposed to be their most hydrating solid shampoo, and I always need the extra moisture! It's mainly made with creamed coconut, coconut oil and vetivert oil. This smells really good, and sounds super moisturizing. If it works as good as it claims too, I will most likely be picking up the full size version!

Marc by Marc Jacobs Sunglasses

First of all, I want to apologize for my lack of blogging lately! I've been a little busy lately and just haven't had any ideas that I wanted to blog about. So sorry about that, but I can say that my inspiration is back and I will back to blogging much more frequent now! 


Now off to what this post is really about! So on Sunday my boyfriend Chris and I went to Grand Bend, it's about a 40 minute drive to this beautiful beach town! We went up and met with some friends and just enjoyed the sun and the beach, it was so much fun! There was a small strip with tons of small stores and restaurants, we were especially drawn to the sunglasses store though. Chris has never owned sunglasses before; I know so crazy, how can one be without!? So ever since he bought a pair of Diesels a couple weeks ago, he's been on a major sunglasses kick . He had really been eyeing a super nice pair of Carreras, so he picked those up for himself! I on the other hand have always had sunglasses, but never had a really nice pair, I never spent more than $30 on one! So I absolutely fell in love with these Marc by Marc Jacobs aviator style sunglasses! 


I've always gone for oversized sunglasses, so this was really different for me! They were a bit pricey at $135, but I figured since my birthday is less than two weeks away I would count it as my birthday present to myself! I've been wearing these all the time, it's safe to say I'm obsessed!!

Sephora and Shoppers Drug Mart Haul

Today I set out to pick up a few things on my wish list and a few things I needed. I just went out to Sephora and Shoppers Drug Mart so here's what I picked up!
1. St. Tropez Bronzing Mousse - This is what I was most excited to go out and pick up! I've had my eye on this for a couple of months, and I finally decided to go for it! After weeks of research and seeing other's experiences with it I just couldn't not give it a try! I will definitely be doing a review of this and letting you guys know what I think and will include some before and after shots! So be on the lookout for that soon!


2. St. Tropez Tan Applicator Mitt - I bought this to go along with the bronzing mousse (of course!). Everything I read about the process said the mitt helped a lot and made it so much easier to apply and blend!


3. Life Latex Medical Examination Gloves - I bought these to use with the St. Tropez self tan, I know when applying my feet and face these will come in handy. Since it would be difficult to get to the small places with the mitt, and I don't want orange hands!


4. Quo Cosmetic Spade Sponges - I picked this up to apply the St. Tropez self tan to my face, I read that this is the easiest way to get a precise application! And tanning the face in my mind is one of the most important places!


5. Certified Organic Cotton Pads - I just picked these up as I ran out a couple days ago, and have been using toilet tissue to remove my eye makeup and it's just not as gentle! I definitely needed to pick these up again!


6. Balea Waterproof Eye Makeup Remover - I also am about to run out of this as well, so I picked up a back up, and I don't want to be without. This works so well to remove my eye makeup so easily and quickly!


Happy Living!
