Bubbles, Bubbles… My bubbles!

alll

I haven’t been into Lush for aaaagess, so when I popped in the other day for a quick nosy I ended up leaving with an excessive amount of goodies. In fact no, I think I did quite well, I did reign myself in so my bank balance wouldn’t hate me, but I’m likely to go back for more at some point…what can I say I’m a sucker for sweet smelling bath products!


I’m actually more of a shower person than a bath person, I just prefer to wash and go, however I am partial to the odd bath when I’m feeling indulgent or looking for a simple pick me up (more so in Winter)! I’m even more inclined when I have a Lush Bath bomb or Bubble Bar to hand, they just smell so darn good (I sometimes buy the soap just to leave in my room so it smells divine) and they look so amazing. So without further ado…here is what I picked up!

all

1

First up is this Snow Fairy Sparkle Bar and HANDS DOWN snow fairy is my favourite lush scent!! If the colour pink was a scent it would smell exactly like this, sweet, candy flossy and so edible…I LOVE it! It may be too much for some, but I don’t think I can get enough of it. This is basically like a massage bar (which I have never actually tried) and when I tried it in the shop it felt so buttery and moisturising. It is glittery which doesn’t make it suitable for a daytime look (unless you’re all for that…then go ahead, no judgement here!) and it is really small for the price, but y’know I’m a sucker for snow fairy!

**I probably should warn you that the majority of what I purchased have the same smell as Snow Fairy…I have an addiction to that scent and I probably need help. If this isn’t for you, you can just admire how pretty they all look, and if you hate pink well then…this is awkward.**

Next up is Cream Candy Bubble Bar, this is something I buy every time I visit a lush store and is a long-time fave. Again, very sugary and sweet and turns the bath water pink! All in all an enjoyable bath that leaves the skin soft and supple and the bathroom delicious smelling.

Candy Mountain Bubble Bar’s shimmery swirliness and (surprise surprise) vanilla sweet scent is what drew me in. I’m excited to use this, however I've heard it’s quite glittery so may be a ‘mare to clean the bath later!

Okay, so last super sweet scent I promise! This Magic Wand Bubble Bar is so pretty and is basically Snow Fairy on a stick finished with a bell…what’s not to love! Just swish this reusable bar in the water to create a bath full of bubbles and enjoy!

5

The Comforter is really big so you only need a small amount to create the perfect relaxing bath. This smells a little sweet but there is a fruity element to it too, as it contains blackcurrants, and looks like a yummy pink cinnamon swirl, dontcha think? Okay well the one I happened to pick up doesn’t so much..but check them out in stores they totally do!

With the fast approaching Christmas season, there are a bunch of new festive themed bath treats, in fact too many to choose from, but I ended up picking out Snowman Ballistic for now (I will be back for the rest though..no doubt!). This little guy is just adorable, with his orange nose and cute red scarf and he smells like baby powder with a hint of vanilla. This bath bomb contains cocoa butter which will leave skin soft and nourished.

Topshop Haul

TOPSHOP

So a little while ago Topshop were doing a 20% student discount promotion in store and online and I am a sucker for extra discounts, even if I am no longer a student...(thankfully I have siblings who can hook me up with NUS card numbers!)

My local store is very small and limited in stock so I spent a Thursday night cosied up in bed trawling the Topshop website (I obviously lead a very eventful life..) and piling my virtual shopping bag with anything that took my fancy. I do this with all online shopping sprees and it normally leads to an obscene amount of items with a high total price tag, so I make sure to whittle it down to only ‘must-haves’ and ‘one-of-a-kinds’ (it’s incredible how I can justify any purchases as a necessity) so my debit card and I remain friends.

all prod

I’ve been ill all week and so the arrival of my package was the perfect pick me up!

The first thing I picked up was a pair of Leigh skinny jeans. Now these are my all time favourite jeans, I have them in practically every colour. They are just so soft and comfortable (no stiff denim here, ladies) and fit like a dream (no baggy knees!).

jeans

I saw this shirt in store and immediately fell in love with the miss-matched pattern design. It’s also monochrome, which allows me to dress it up or down and accessorise it any way I like.

shirt

I love the burgundy colour of this casual sweater, it’s also quilted so not just your boring old jumper. I think I may be returning this though as I found that it’s quite boxy and on the shorter side (i.e. it sits right above the hips, on me anyway) and I prefer slightly longer, slouchier tops.

Next up…these hot heels! How gorgeous are these bad boys! The vibrant magenta is just beautiful and I think pairing these with a simple outfit like jeans and a blazer will make it interesting. I am, however, a little worried about walking in them (perhaps a test run around the house is in order…don’t pretend you don’t do that too), the heel is certainly not the highest I own (these are 3.5 inches), but the heels are quite thin.

shoess

The last three items are all frivolous accessories, that weren’t really a necessity, but who the hell cares..YOLO am I right! (*smh* I can’t even believe I wrote that…).

I got a grey beanie, simply because I like hats.

These midi rings are cute and sparkly…I like sparkly.

rings

This has to be the silliest of all my purchases and to some it may be tacky, but it’s a velvet scrunchie (instantly thrown back into my 90’s childhood when I used to adorn my ponytails with obnoxious scrunchies…it was cool alright!) and it has bunny ears(!!) and I LOVE IT!!

scrunchie

And that’s it! All these items are still available on the UK website here.
