All Things 'Lush'...

Hello everyone! So this blog post is going to be about all of my recent Lush buys and Lush products that I still haven't actually got round to using... which sounds quite bad actually! But anyway, hopefully you will like it, there's quite a few products that only come out around winter/Christmas time in Lush so I thought it might give some of you ideas of what Lush stuff is in the shops at the moment. I don't think I have nearly as much Lush products as some other bloggers and YouTubers have but hopefully you will like it anyway! That's enough chatting, lets get on with it...
 
 
I think that the shower jellies only came into Lush stores since last year, though I'm not sure, but I remember that this one, the Snowman Shower Jelly, was definitely out last Christmas. It smells a lot of blackcurrant and is a very strong fruity-sweet smell, which I like, but I know it can be quite an acquired smell so it depends whether you like that. I remember that I got this one for Christmas and I haven't used it too much since last year but I definitely used it for  a few showers after I got it and I loved it! I'm definitely planning on using it again this year!
 
 
Next up is a face mask that I got recently, it's called Cupcake and it is made from mainly rhassoul mud and cocoa butter, it says on the pot that it is ideal for oily, teenage skin and in the book it says it deeply cleanses. I could honestly not agree more! I have only used it once but after that one time I can honestly say that it was amazing for my skin, and I do have extremely oily skin that is very prone to acne. I haven't managed to use it again but I will be trying to find time to use it because my skin felt, and even looked to a certain extent, really cleansed, fresh and less clogged up.
 
 
This one is Candy Mountain (one of my personal favourites!) another Christmassy one that I got a year ago but I didn't get a chance to use as I hadn't finished up the Magic Wand - basically the same smell as Snow Fairy -  bubble wand at that time.  Actually I only ended up using it up just recently! But I guess that's because I don't have that many baths and not that it lasts for "infiniiityyy" (yes, I am listening to One Direction's song Infinity, it is AMAZING, I could listen to it for infinity - don't judge me! <3) I love Candy Mountain, I think it's because it has quite a subtle sweet smell but it doesn't hit you in the face... it kind of reminds me of candyfloss thinking about it now...
 
 
I.am.in.LOVE with Lush massage bars, they are the most amazing feeling ever on your skin! Honestly, if you haven't tried one yet then I suggest you go out right now (wait, changed my mind, after you've read my blog post, obvs!), whatever state you're in, whatever time it is, wherever you are because you need THIS in your life!! Haha, just kidding but you are missing out, seriously! Anyway back to this product...
 
This massage bar was called The Honeymooner but I looked it up in the Lush book and saw that it seems to be called Soft Coeur now. It has a wonderful scent of honey and chocolate and as you can see, it has bits of chocolate in it which I think is so yummy. I mean, I have to struggle not to eat it seeing as I'm a massive chocoholic!
 
 
The next Lush product I have is one of their famous bath bombs. This one is called Frozen and if you han't already guessed, it's a Frozen (the Disney movie) inspired Christmas bath bomb. I absolutely adore the smell of this and I can't wait to use it soon in a very relaxing bath! I think once I use this, I'm going to get into the Christmas spirit a bit more!

 
Finally, the last thing I have is the Snow Angel bath melt. I can't wait to use this, it looks and smells amazing, even if it does spread glitter everywhere! It's meant to be very moisturising so it is great for the winter or if you just generally have dry skin.
 
That was all for this post, I hope you enjoyed it and that I've given you some ideas of some cool Lush products that I like to use in the winter or just throughout the year. If you have any Lush products you love using and recommend then feel free to share it in the comments, I would love to know! Post soon xx
**I am in love with the songs from One Direction's new album Made In The AM, I think especially Hey Angel and Infinity but its so hard to choose! Comment down below your favourite song if you've heard their album.**

Part 2 - Huge Matalan Haul...

Hi again! I am finally managing to put the second part of my Matalan haul up which I am SO sorry about not being able to write and then publish quick enough as it has been AGES since I put up Part 1 of this Matalan Haul post but I promise you, that as soon as I sort myself out, I will be back on track with my blog posts. 
 

 
I am IN LOVE with these trainers because - wait for it! - they have hidden heels in! And its like a 2 in 1 because the heels make me taller (I am very short) and they are extremely comfortable, I can even run in them! But that's not recommended - it was a one off and I don't want any of you to break your pretty little ankles! ;)
 
 
 
The next thing that I got were PJs!!! Excuse me for the excessive amount of exclamation marks, its just that I get very excited about pyjamas because they are just so cosy and I just feel so relaxed in them, as any girl does! The shorts and long-sleeved combo is actually just me, they didn't come together in a set, they were mix and match but I just have this thing about wearing long-sleeves with shorts which my Mum thinks is weird but its me so... :) I really like the pattern on the shorts because its the sort of pattern that reminds me of Christmas (which I can't wait for, who else can't?) and I like the lace cut outs on the shoulders and across the top of the back of the top, and there's also a little triangle on the front which I think makes it cute!
 
 
Then I got two pairs of ankle socks which are just so cute because they have lots of ruffles of lace at the top and the grey and white one has a nice pattern and the burgundy one is a bit different to any of my other socks as it is a deep colour with black lace and has a kind of ribbed pattern going down the sock. I just love socks with lace at the top because its so cute - have I said 'cute' enough times yet?!

 
This is the last thing I got form Matalan and of course it has to be Christmas! On the way to the tills, my Mum HAD to look at the kitchen equipment and other random house stuff so my excuse is that she tempted me to get this glittery red cup with a lid and plastic straw. Plus it has a little snowman on the front saying Merry Christmas so can you please back me up in how cool this is?! No? OK, fair enough, I brought it upon myself!
 
I'm sorry I have seemed very hyper in this blog post ... It's because I am. I'm just in one of those moments but I hope I haven't been too annoying, haha! Anyway, hopefully I am going to be able to post my next blog post on time next weekend. Post soon xx
**I would just like to use this space that I usually put little comments in to say that I am thinking of and praying for any of my readers and everyone who lives in Paris, or in France. It really was a tragic event.**
