Giveaway?

Hello everyone!! So recently I have been considering hosting a giveaway! I have been thinking about doing this for some time now, but the problem I kept encountering is what I would giveaway? The only idea I have is Lush, either a gift-box or my individual favourite items. Also, I don't think I would be able to ship worldwide as for a 15 year old girl, the cost would be overwhelming! However, I can guarantee you that I definitely will do an international one when I start to earn money for myself as I don't want to cause a strain on my parents at the moment :-)

The idea of this post was just a suggestion and I would like some inspiration about what to giveaway! It would probably have to be something either beauty related or jewelry. 
If you think this is a good idea, then let me know! 

Have a good weekend :)

Products I Would Like To Try




.
Hello everyone! It's the weekend again, which means we all made it though another lengthy week. I'm not a girly girl, I don't wear a lot of make up but there are some products that ,if I did wear more make up, I would like to try, so I guess here they are! ^.^ 







              
This is the NARS Happening Palette and from the reviews I have heard and seen, apparently it's absolutely perfect for a natural look because the shades are not too bright or too dark. This palette includes blusher (Left) A variety or very nice eye shadows (Middle) and a bronzer (right).     I would use this if I didn't have a flubbery face and yes I still so have my baby cheeks, so there would be no point in a bronzer, my cheeks are beyond saving. 


The next thing is Yves Saint Laurent Candy Volupte Lipstick. This just looks amazing and Zoella did review a similar lipstick but this one is different, but only slightly. This is one of the things that I just see and get attached too. I would preferably like it in a natural and light colour, so that I could wear it more often. I'm guessing this is top of the range make up as it's £24! However,  I have no doubt that it's worth it. 


 This next thing is something that I will most definitely get soon! *expect a review* It's the AYESHA fresh face mask from Lush (surprise surprise) Lush say "When you don’t have a flame of immortality to bathe in, try this instead." Which I think makes this extremely tempting and I already know from trying other Lush face masks that they always feel fresh on your skin and hydrating.
   




These are three things I would like to try, If you have tried them, then feel free to tell me what they were like :) Hope you all have a brilliant weekend!

*REVIEW* Dream Cream by Lush

Hello everyone! Today, I thought I should do a review on a hand and body lotion by Lush (my much-loved favorite store) called 'Dream Cream'. Unfortunately, I didn't like this product, which is unusual because it's from Lush. 
I got given this as a Christmas present from my friend, which was nice. At first, I thought this product smelt different to usual Lush products (which is like fruity, tangy, all the nice smells) It smelt just of cream. Anyway, I tried it and I can see why it's good for sensitive skin. It has a lot of oils in it and I can see how hydrating it can be for damaged or 'easily upset skins' but it seems as if my skin is alright because I found this cream horribly greasy. A little bit of Oil in creams is fine and properly good for your skin, but I think the over did it a bit. Maybe it was because I was using too much in one go but every time I used it, It left a uncomfortable layer of oil on my hands. 9/10 times, I'll end up washing my hands after using it and using a different moisturiser!  
Overall, If you have sensitive skin or easily upset skin, than this cream is perfect for you, I'm not saying it isn't. With all it's natural oils and ingredients, it's probably like a hand massage in a bottle! (Or as Lush say "Life partner for sensitive skin"But for skin like mine,quite tough, It won't do you any good. I really appreciated getting this as a present because I always like trying new products, I just won't be getting this again.

Well That's my little review. What did you think? :)

Catastrophe Cosmetic *review*

Catastrophe Cosmetic is a organic face mask from one of my favorite pampering shops, Lush. This product is infused with fresh Blueberries, so obviously once you apply it, it's really refreshing. It's retail price in £5.75 - which you may think is quite expensive for a 75g pot (I did at first) but trust me, this natural beauty deserves to be. It will last you a good two weeks if you apply a generous amount every other day. If you want to keep the fresh, crisp and natural feel to this mask when you slap it on, then you need to keep it in the fridge (as it's made from organic ingredients and all) 


I got encouraged to try this (thank god I did) by the one and only Zoella and I don't regret it at all. I'm lucky enough to have naturally healthy and clear skin, but even after the first use of this, my skin felt so much smoother and I noticed a lack of spots! Lush say that 'this is basically your bast mate in a pot', and I can see why. It calms, soothes and cools the skin. If your best friend doesn't do that, then get this instead. I really recommend trying this if you have fairly spotty, sensitive or dry skin.It does the job! Like i said, the only trouble with this is that it needs to be kept in the fridge, which i found was a bit annoying as I had to go downstairs, retrieve it from the fridge and put it back afterwards. But it was totally worth it - no doubt. Also, another slight downer is that it expires after about 2 weeks, which makes me want to use it all as quickly as possible. But hey, you can't change the fact that Blueberries go off, I'd rather have a natural product that last two weeks than a artificial product that last six months! 

You know what's even better? Lush now do an offer that if you return 5 pots or tubes from used lush products, you get a free face mask! This will definitely be my first choice. What could be better than getting a best friend in a pot for free?


~ As always, Thank you for reading and hope you have had a good day, I know I have! :) ~

Father Christmas Bath bomb review


For Christmas, I got given a Lush cosmetics gift box. In this gift box I got a limited edition bath bomb (I sound like an obsessed collector) called 'Father Christmas' the name is pretty self explanatory. 



The bath bomb started off as they all do, fizzing viciously as the water reacts with the chemicals. But after about 30 seconds the creamy beard of Santa melts away and then the pinkish layer divides into four to reveal a bold green center. As the green center melts away, you start to notice gold glitter. By the time the bath bomb has fizzed to death, you are left with a beautifully smelling glittery green bath, sticking to the festive season. I thoroughly enjoyed this bath bomb, however it leaves behind quite a bit of mess because of the glitter. It smelt like cinnamon and Christmas in general and therefore immediately took me back to the festive season. It was also quite a good size: you got a lot for the money. Unfortunately, this was a seasonal bath bomb so it won't be around again until next Christmas, but I suggest you keep your eyes open for it! I'm definitely getting this one again. :~)
