Lush rock star soap review

Ive had this for ages and have used this quite a few times.
It comes in quite a big wedge size and smells lovely and sweet, lathers up really well and leaves your skin feeling softly.
If you are unsure of which soap of the many soaps lush has to offer,you cant go far wrong starting with this one.

Rock star soap
£3.09 - 100g

My top 5 indulgences

I thought i would make a little list of my top 5 indulgences.They consist of the little but my most enjoyable things beside my family and health...

1.  Lush bubble baths
I love,love,love these,so relaxing and the aromas are so calming for mind and body!



2. Cafe Nero chai latte
I love the sweet cinnamon taste and drinking one of these instantly chills me out and makes me go mmmmmmm


3.Shopping (of corse)
Be it at a car boot sale finding bargains,a high street store or charity shop,shopping and especially finding a bargain is guaranteed to relax me and make me happy (that must be what they mean by retail therapy)




4. Reflexology
Giving and receiving a treatment is always so relaxing



5.Reading
Nothing better than being engrossed in a good book



Do you enjoy any of these?

what are your top 5 indulgences?

Tuesdays purchases

On my way into town on Tuesday i decided to nip into Debenhams and have a look at the Benefit counter,after much trying products etc i couldn't find anyone on the counter to help me,i started to get rather frustrated and had to ask a nice lady from the Chanel counter,she informed me that the lady from the benefit counter was At the dentist.
This is the 2nd time i have been in debenhams to two different counters and there has been nobody there,how frustrating and not very good on debenhams part :(

Anyway i then nipped into Lush (of corse) which is right next door,i was tempted to buy their new royal wedding bath bomb but although it smelt lovely and i love the idea of the little hearts etc i was put off by the glitter and opted for the sweetie pie shower jelly instead, it smells GORGEOUS!

Primark have some fab shoes at the moment and after trying on umpteen pairs i opted for these lovely grey broiderie anglaise pumps for a mere £6

I had a quick look around the car boot sale (its rude not to lol) and picked up a bargain all saints cardie for £1.50 and sheer red herring snake print top with thin belt for £1.50

On my way back i nipped into river island and picked up their booklet so i can lust over the pictures (hoping that will satisfy my urge to purchase something from there).

Lush the comforter bubble bar review

I bought the comforter last week from lush and although its £3.99 it is very large so i decided to only use half of it as i was sure that would be ample. I crumbled it under the running tap and instantly was hit with a blackcurrenty violet aroma which was delicious.
It lathered up really really well,so much so i think a full bar would be too much (i would disappear under the bubbles lol).It also turned the water a slight light purple shade.
The bubbles were still there after a 30/45min soak which in my book is great and they left your skin feeling pampered and soft to the touch.
I would definitely recommend the comforter to anyone :)

Easter sunday boot sale bargains

I went to blackpool car boot sale on Easter sunday,it was a lovely day and the car boot sale was massive but quantity was definatly not quality with the majority of the stalls just old tatt.
I did however come away with a few little bargains...

spotty jumpsuit 50p

Ghost night perfume full £1

Serious River Island lust list

I browsed River Island very quickly today but left quickly before i bought everything,especially these beauty's...

They all look sooo much better in the flesh,I need all these in my life!

Blog post of the week

This weeks blog post of the week goes to Adrienne Adores, i have been following her blog for a while now.
I always really enjoy reading her posts and she holds the most amazing and generous giveaways.
I made my first blog sale purchase of a Barry m dusky mauve nail polish from her blog this week and when it came it was wrapped in tissue paper with a little bow,sequins and some sweeties,it is by far the prettiest packaging I've seen and was a lovely touch.
I love the nail polish and will be reviewing it at a later date,
thanks Adrienne :)

Pink nails

I wanted to show you a pic of my nails after applying nails inc pink Warwick Avenue nail polish followed by diamond shine topcoat by sally hansen.

Lush the comforter

I was on my way to the local bootsale on tuesday but as usual the waft coming from Lush was to inviting to resist,so i nipped in for just a look (i always tell myself that).
I had read in another blog about the comforter bubble bar (will review at a later date), so decided to try it for myself, i also asked for samples of flying fox.
I am finding it difficult to choose new items that i can try but begrudge paying the p&p prices to order retro items online,i am dying to try the marzibain but cannot justify the p&p charges when i only live down the road from the store.it doesnt seem worth it.
If anybody has the marzibain then please let me know :)

Gold chrome nails

I picked up a bottle of sally Hansen chrome gold polish for a bargain £1.50,here i have tried it out and topped it off with the sally Hansen diamond shine topcoat £3.75 inc p&p from eBay.

I have started to take more care of my nails at the moment and as a result, not only do they look much better,they are also growing longer and stronger than they usually do :)

what do you think?

sorry about quality of the picture and please ignore the index fingernail,it snapped on car door :s

Lush Candy fluff egg review

I bought this a few weeks ago and tried it last night,i dropped the bath bomb into the water and it fizzed quite quickly leaving the water a dark shade of pink but smelling scrumptious.
It smells like snow fairy with a hint of violet in there too.

I loved the smell but apart from that there was nothing special about this product,i am trying to buy lush items that make bubbles etc rather than just going for them for the smell,somehow with some lush products i feel like i am getting more value for money when there are loads of bubbles or you can get more than 1 use out of it.

have you tried lush's Easter collection?

Boot sale bargains

I must say my little boot sale jaunt on Sunday was very fruitful,i turned up nice and early because the early bird catches the bargain lol,
the weather was delightful and it was jam packed with the traders (which i avoid) and the people who are just having a clear out (my favourite).
you can spot a inexperienced carbooter a mile off,they get all in a muddle when you ask the prices or on the other end of the scale they try to charge extortionate prices.

this is what i picked up...

River Island leopard print patent bag
£3

River Island gladiators
£5

New Topshop ruffle flats
£1

floral pumps
£1

tie dye leggings,floral ruffle top and miss selfridge vest
all 50p

what do you think,have you picked up any recent car boot bargains?

I love car boot season,roll on next week :)

i am a little late with my blog post of the week this week but i have decided to award it to  Debbie's Bargain hunt.
I  have been really enjoying her bargain and charity shop finds,a girl after me own heart!

Sally Hansen Diamond shine

I needed a decent base and top coat as i am sick of nail polish chipping after a day or so,i saw sally Hansen products advertised in Glamour magazine and thought i would give it a try.
I nipped into superdrug and they were priced around £6+,being a bargain hunter i decided to check eBay first and to my delight managed to buy the base/top coat and got a free cuticle refiner all for £3.75 inc p&p



I recently received the free Barry m cosmetics from fabulous magazine and i loved the pink varnish that i received with it,i gave myself a mini manicure and loved the result,felt soo glamorous with my pink shiny nails,all at a nice length,UNTIL i went to open the car door and split my index finger nail, OUCH!

do you use sally Hansen? what do you think of them?
