Lush Bath Bomb; Spacegirl

Recently, I have been a little stressed with life, and I have found baths a great help de-stressing. I love Lush Cosmetics, and have quite a little collection of items stored up ready to use.

The latest bath bomb, which I had never tried before was the SpaceGirl bomb, which has instantly become my favourite.
This is shaped like a spaceship, and is purple and pink with hints of glitter all over it, and it smells divine.
I simply popped it in while my bath was running, and let it do its magic.
The bomb, dispersed giving off a beautiful girlie sweet smell, perfect for relaxing in. It then mixed in with the water to create a beautiful fuchsia pink colour.
This is a lovely bomb, as it leaves you feeling squeaky clean, and is cute to relax in as well as beautifully smelling to ensure your bath is so heavenly you don't want to get out.. just what I've needed!

(Please excuse my rubber duck)

Lush do a fantastic range of bath bombs, you're sure to fins one you like.
What one's would you guys recommenced for me to try next?

Daisy Dream

So Marc Jacobs, have done it again... brought out a new fragrance that I have fallen in love with.

Daisy Dream is a gorgeous new Eau de toilette perfume, perfect for lighter weather. 

This is a light, sweet, fruity fragrance, that although is all these things, its very strong smelling, and last's on the skin. Usually with light fragrances they don't last long and often fade quickly. But with Daisy Dream, this is definitely not the case. 

To me this smells of strawberries, and is just beautiful, I would use this as an everyday fragrance, or if I was going out for a meal or on a date (its perfect for dates).

The bottle and packaging, is just so classic, and elegant. With its pale blue box, and liquid, adorned with cute white and gold daisy's, this is the perfect addition to any dressing table. 

Not only has Marc Jacobs brought the fragrance out, he has also given us some extra's too, in the form of a shower gel and a body cream, perfect for gifts or a little treat for yourself.

And the best part is the pricing, its so affordable.

Essie's Fiji

When it's summer, we all know we want lovely summer nails, right?

And one of my staple, and favourite colours of all time is an Essie polish in the shade Fiji.

I love this colour, you can buy them from the drug store, and they retail for £7.99, which for a nail varnish this good, is nothing!

This is a pink toned white, and looks great after just two coats. It goes on really smoothly and last's ages, without chipping, of course that is with a top coat. 

I just love this colour for the summer, its so fun and girlie, and looks effortlessly chic. With a colour this light, its great to add a glitter over the top, to add that instant sparkle, and creativity in minutes. 

All the Essie range are fantastic, the colours are beautiful and the formula is really nice. 

I would 100% recommend this, if you're looking for a pretty girlie colour, that steps away from the normal pinks and purples.

Healthy Snack Inspiration

Now that the nice weather has actually arrived, and it's starting to really feel like summer, it's the perfect time to get healthy snacking and take advantage of eating fruit. 

I am on a bit of a health kick at the minute, and I am trying to eat better, and drink more water, and so far I'm not doing too bad. However, I am a serial snacker, and I am a bordem eater, which now I am home from university, I find myself bored a lot of the time. But I am making a conscious effort to swap the crisps for fruit and vegetables... and these are two of my favourite snacks.

I love making fruit salads. They're so versatile, you can put any fruit in and mix it up any way. 

In this case I used banana, Strawberries and Grapes, and sprinkled with some Canderel (a lot fat sugar). This is so quick and easy, and is actually really filling, as you feel like you're eating more than you are, especially if you eat it slowly. 

The beauty of this, is that you can use almost anything, for instance, low fat Greek yoghurt, a sprinkle of honey, or even a meringue nest, which are really low in fat. 

One of my other favourite snacks is carrot sticks and dip. I literally go on a binge of these sometimes, like I actually worry I may wake up orange haha!

This literally takes 5 minutes, and again is so versatile, with what dip you could use.

All you need is to peel the carrot and then cut them into stick like shapes, and add a little dish of dip. 

My personal favourites are Low Fat Salad Cream or Sour Cream and Chive dip, or Humus.

This is great for when you are studying and need a little snack to get you through that dreaded essay, or great for when you have some friends over and you want to mix it up from the traditional crisps, nuts or pizza. 

Don't forget to drink lots of water too, it really does make a difference to every aspect of your body, including lovely healthy skin.

Spring/ Summer Easy Hairstyle

What is it with British weather? One minute its thunder storming and the next we're having a heatwave! All girls know that coping with a lot of hair in this weather really isn't fun or easy. So I've created this really simple look, for the warmer weather. Its just really fun and girlie, and keeps your hair off your face. 

All I did was slightly curl my hair using a pair of GHD's, which takes about 5 minutes, and spray through some hairspray, I've been particularly liking the Tresemme firm hold spray. 

Then take the top half of your hair, making sure to scoop the sides, so nothing is on your face, you want to make this look quite messy, so don't flatten the top down too much to fit in the clip. 

Then take any kind of clip, I used this cute pink bow from Dorothy Perkins and placed central in the back of my head. 

I then resprayed with a little more hairspray, scrunched any hair, to make it look effortlessly wavy and job done!

SEVENTEEN Blemish BB Balm

The first BB balm I have ever purchased, and I am quite impressed. I've been on the hunt for a blemish balm for the summer and I thought I would give this one a go. 

This is the Seventeen BB skincare and is great for lighter coverage. It's great for the summer where you don't want to wear much make-up or even have a tan. 

However, the shade range isn't fantastic, and it can feel quite heavy on the skin. Other than that for the price it does what it says, and it helps even skin tone, covers imperfections and helps oil control. I also really like that its SPF 25, which really makes a difference in the sun. 

I would recommend this if you suffer from oily skin, but I wouldn't recommend this for pale skin as it comes out quite dark. 

What other Blemish Balms would you guys suggest? 

The Body Shop Honeymania Lip Balm

I never used to use lip balms, as luckily most of the year my lips don't suffer. But for the occasions they do, this lip balm works wonders. 

This is the Body Shop Lip balm in Honey, and this is like a little pot of lip heaven. It smells amazing, it has that sweet, honey smell without being too overpowering or too smelly. 

Its got a really nice consistency and isn't sticky on your lips or fingers, once you've applied it. 

I love that it's in a handy little pot, that is not only cute, but fits perfectly in any handbag, or make-up bag.

MUA Heaven and Earth Palette

This is the MUA Heaven and Earth palette, and I have to confess this now, I love it! This is my second purchase, as I used up my favourite colour, and was really quick to rush out and re-buy it.
This is a beautiful eye-shadow palette with all gorgeous neutral shades, perfect for a light day wear or a heavier night look. The brush it comes with isn't very good, and normally I use a Real Techniques Eye-shadow brush, to get the best of the colours.
This palette is highly pigmented and all shades are full of shine and glimmer. And the best part is... its only £4!!! A real bargain if you ask me.

MAC Limited Edition Buttercream Pearlmatte Face Powder

Recently, I've been on the hunt for a good face powder, and after stumbling on this limited edition gem at an airport I couldn't resist buying it.

This is the MAC pink buttercream pearlmatte face powder and it is beautiful. If you're looking for a powder that is light in coverage but does the trick of getting rid of any shine then this is for you. It's beautiful girlie flower design and it's classic MAC packaging make this the prettiest edition to your make-up collection!

I gently dust this powder all over my face, and any dewy patches, and put a little extra on the tops of my cheek bones for a little subtle highlight. It's just perfect.
