New Schedule

Hi chums!

Just a quick post to say that due to other commitments and an eventful few months ahead I will now be posting on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays as opposed to Saturdays, Sundays, Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays!

Hope you understand!

REVIEW: Lush Golden Egg Bath Bomb Melt

As you may have seen I was lucky enough to get quite a few Lush products for my birthday and had the difficult decision of deciding which to use first! 

I chose Golden Egg (partly so I could get the glitter out of my house as it has a tendency to get everywhere) but also because out of the products I got it was my favourite one scent wise (if that's a phrase). The first thing that strikes me about this is the colour, it literally is gold and I love that it's such a strange colour to have for a bath product which makes this even more unique!

The smell too is gorgeous, it is quite sweet (which I love) and is most likely due to the cocoa butter and orange oil the egg contains.

In the bath it fizzes quite slowly which I wasn't expecting (but then I didn't really know what to expect as this is my first ever bath melt I have tried from Lush), but I liked that it fizzed slowly as it meant that it would last longer so I could enjoy it more. It makes the bath quite an orange-y colour and again when you get out of the bath your skin feels so smooth and supple (I find this with all Lush products which is why I love them so much!)

Overall, I really liked this and will most probably use it again sometime soon!

Have you got any of their Easter collection?

REVIEW: Insurgent

I watched this last weekend as part of my birthday and really enjoyed it - minus all the loud, jumpy gunshots (I'm a sensitive soul!).

It followed on nicely from the first film, Divergent, and what I liked most was that the relationship between Tris and Four really developed and they grew stronger as individuals too in order to fight and stand up to the evil Jeanine!

I thought Naomi Watts played a very good Evelyn (I'm not going to say what/who she is but you'll understand when you watch the film!) and I liked that Four's past was explored quite a bit, as we knew quite a lot about Tris after the first film and so I think it was right to explore Four a bit more in this film.

Another thing I really liked was the sense that everything was so dramatic and that time really was of the essence, without giving too much away, time really is running out for Tris as she's desperate to not be found as Jeanine tries to hunt her down (not personally though of course!)

The only thing I didn't like was the ending as I felt like the film series could have just ended there, maybe the third film will follow on nicely but the cliffhanger ending I was anticipating didn't arrive.

Overall, I really did enjoy this film (as jumpy as it was for me) and I am looking forward to seeing the final chapter on screen (hopefully) next year by the sounds of it!

REVIEW: W7 Big Lash Mascara

Mascaras for me have always been a bit of a grey area, I tend to have oily skin around my eyes so a lot of mascaras smudge on me, but after spending a lot of time browsing W7's products I decided to take a gamble and try out their Big Lash Mascara.

Before

I'm really happy I did! For around £4 my eyelashes were a lot more defined - more so than any other mascara I have used - they were a lot darker and longer too. What I liked most about this product was the way it made my eyelashes fan out, even my bottom lashes looked visible which for me was a big deal!
