Lush
Hello beauties!
I can not believe that i'm writing my first post about Christmas limited edition collection's for 2017. This year is flying by and there is certainly not long left until Christmas now.
When I checked my email's this evening I was pleasantly surprised to see one from Lush about their Christmas releases. These are available online today or instore Thursday 5th October.
There are a few regular favorites that are back again for another Christmas along with some new editions. Santa Baby lip scrub is one of my favorites along with any of the Christmas themed bubble bar's/bath bombs available.
Is there anything from lush you will be wanting to try this year?
Lipstick and love!
Morning babes!
Welcome back to Febrary's beauty edit. It's only a few days late but it gave me time to collate all the exciting news from the last month for you. Although there may have only been 28 days this month there isn't any shortage in beauty news!
February saw the return of the highly anticipated New York Fashion Week. One of the biggest beauty trends to grace the catwalk was 'rainbow eyes'. Oscar De La Renta showcased this look as he had his models wearing turquoise blue eye shadow with sherbet pink eyeliner. It also reminds me of unicorn makeup and would fit nicely in with the unicorn phase. While I know this look isn't for everyone I think its gorgeous and fun, however probs not approps for everyday wear!

Everyone is going Beauty and the Beast crazy at the moment in an anticipation of the new Disney film due out this month. Japanese skincare brand, Skin Inc, has released a Beauty and the Beast face serum. It is in the pretties of packaging and is of course limited edition. Both Beauty Bay and Sephora USA stock Skin Inc and it will retail for $90USD. This product was released mid last week on March 2nd.

Kanye West. Love him or hate him, whatever it is you cant deny that he is building himself an empire. To add to his music career and clothing line he is now creating a make up collection. Yes, you read that right. Yeezy is wanting to create his own line called 'DONDA' after his late mother Donda West. It will include 'makeup, perfumes and other cosmetics'. Of course it wouldnt truly be Kanye without some extremities and he wishes to eventually turn Donda into a lifestyle brand complete with holograms.
Lush is said to be releasing a Donald Trump inspired hair product this year. At the 2017 Lush Summit in february they reveled are releasing 5 new hot hair treatments. One is called 'yuge' (said in Donald Trump's voice - 'it's going to be yuge!') and theres no doubt that it is inspired by Trump as they actually had someone dressed up with a huge head walking around like Trump at the summit. Yuge is said to add softness to your hair and is still being tested on humans so there isn't a release date yet.

What do you think of these products? Are you hanging out to see Beauty and the beast? Would you buy any of Kanye's stuff?

Feet are one body part that make me cringe. Even with a good pedicure and some nail art it's still hard to make your feet look good. But, in saying that they do take alot of pain and deserve some TLC from time to time.
One of the best stores every year to release Christmas products has to undoubtedly be LUSH. I always have to resist the temptation of going into the delicious smelling store every time I walk past it at the mall. However, I couldn't help but take a sneek peek into Lush to see what they had released this Christmas.
I showed so much self control and walked away with only a couple things. One of them was the Limited Edition - Santa Lip Scrub,
Unless you have been living under a rock, i'm sure you would have heard how great the legendary popcorn lip scrub is (you can also get a bubblegum + Mint Julips one). The great thing about lip scrub's is that it exfoliates your lips gently and taste's great at the same time. After you have exfoliated your lips not only does it make them softer, but it also leaves you with the perfect base for a matte lipstick.
Santa lip scrub is in a small 65gram jar that costs around $11.50. It is a bright santa red colour and smells like cola!. When I first opened the jar, the top of the scrub had gorgeous tiny little love hearts sitting on top. The smell was another thing that attracted me to this lip scrub as it smell's so good. I'd never thought id say that I loved the smell of coca cola but hey!
This lip scrub includes caster sugar, dates and cheerie's which are a killer combination in creating a festive treat for your lips.

A little goes a long way with this scrub and it easily sticks to your finger. There is little fall out as it is less crumbly, in my opinion, than the popcorn scrub. I also use this with my son as he likes to 'play make up' and it puts me at ease knowing that it's ok if he eats a little bit by accident.
I am going to head back into Lush one day soon and pick up a few more goodies from their limited edition Christmas stuff and I can't wait.
Have you got your eye on any of their limited edition Christmas stuff?

Hello gorgeous!
Lush is such a fabulous brand. The products, customer service and everything that it stands for (#gayisok campaign) . The latest products that I've been lucky enough to try are the new massage bars.
There are seven different massage bars. I have Dirty* and Yes, yes yes!*
 |
| Top - Dirty, Bottom - Yes, Yes, Yes |
They are very easy on the eyes. They also smell beautifully! At my first sniff I could smell hints of chocolate in dirty and a few hints of vanilla in yes yes yes.
Dirty has spearmint and chocolate in it, aswell as a herbal Gorilla perfume. The chocolate smell that I can taste is from the cocoa powder and dark chocolate that is in it. It is so delicious to use on a cold winter day. After using you instantly feel moisturised. It's quite a thick soap so make sure you rub it into your body well.
I love using Yes Yes Yes at the end of the day as the jasmine in it make me feel very calm and relaxed. This bar claims to make the scents attract the boys! It is made with lust and is sexy, sultry and gorgeous. I haven't tried it on my partner yet but what I can tell you is that the beautiful floral scent lasts for a good few hours after your shower.
I actually caught my partner using these because he stepped out of the shower and said "man that soap you have in there is good. My body doesn't know what's happened to it
These can both be picked up for $18.50 from your local lush store or online. Every bar in the range is either $14.90 or $18.50 so super affordable for everyone!
Have you used any of the massage bars?
Hey doll's,
Having a good skincare routine is essential to having good skin. Also taking into note what you put on your face is important as your skin absorbs some of those ingredients.
I'm a huge fan of "face mask friday" and unwinding with a nice mask at the end of the week helps get rid of the weeks stress and worry.
Lush have come out with some amazing new products to help you relax and refresh your skin. Lush face masks come in a range of 6 different masks and they are each designed with a specific skin type in mind.
I was lucky enough to be able to try Oatifix and BB seaweed masks.
Oatifix* is specifically designed for dry skin. It contains many delicious things such as rosemary, lime juice (to detoxify), coriander, parsley, sage and juniperberry. It is of a light brown colour and the texture is rough as you can feel all the ingredient's in the mask on your fingers. Oatifix will help hydrate, exfoliate and treat your skin.
BB Seaweed* is a soft mask that will cleanse and soften your skin. This mask contains ingrediants such as fresh seaweed, calming aloe and rose and antiseptic honey. This one is a slight green colour and again of a thick texture.

To be honest, I was pretty bored when the store assistant said she recommended Oatifix for me as there were some exciting masks such as cupcake or chocolate mask, Oat's didn't take my fancy. However after I finally used it, It has really been the best for my skin. It really does clear my skin and it smell's really good!
I enjoy using BB Seaweed before bed as it truley does relax me. It makes my skin feel a little tight but the calming properties totally outweigh the slight pull.
These can be purchased online and instore for $16.50. I have had a quick look at the online store and a lot of these mask;s have sold out online so I would recommend calling in to the store and talking to one of the lovely shop assistants, because they really can recommend the best mask for your skin!
Have you used any of the new face mask range? What ones do you want to try?

Hey everyone!
I can not believe were in August already. That's so exciting. It means one more month of winter here in NZ and one month till my birthday!! Woohoo. So its time to take a look at my favourite products this month!
My favourites for august are....
Make up revolution pallette
L'oreal perfect blur
Lush ultra balm
Make up revolution pallette.
I was lucky enough to recieve this in my international beauty swap with Gemma from Mccarthysbeautyreview. I had heard about the company and was so lucky to recieve this. Its a dupe for a naked pallette (naked 2 or 3..cant remember!) and is beautiful. You can create so many looks with this and it is so versatile and long lasting.
Garnier Perfect Blur.
This seems to be the product everyone is asking "should I buy it?'' ''Is it to good to be true?'' well its great. So go get it! The creamy moisturizer you apply leaves you with such a smooth matte finish. Its worth every penny!
Lush Ultra Balm.
This is a miracle balm. It has so many uses. My partner and I used it on our chaffing and it was gone, I put it on my sons eczma and it clears. Can be used as an eyelid primer, moisterizer and lipbalm! The tin is never ending and it just fixes all your problems.
What are you loving this month!?
Ciao Bella's! xx
