YES TO LUSH AND YES TO AUTUMN! Together they just make a perfect pair! When I saw they had finally released their Halloween/Autumn range I had to have a nosey! I was a tiny bit disappointed at my store, however, I ended up getting the best trio. 


The first bath bomb I picked up was Autumn Leaf, it drew me in with its colour! It is so pretty and bright that I knew that I would be bathing in a rainbow bath, and as you can see it didn't disappoint!  I love how the colours represent the changing season and go perfectly with the scent, which is very fresh but earthy. It is not my usual scent I would go for but having used this in the bath it set me up for the Autumn ( not that I needed to be lol)



Next up is Lord of Misrule, I picked this primarily for the fact it has a crown on it aha ;) However, I really liked the smell, I would it is has a little of sweetness in it but mostly it is an earthy, spiced scent.  It is probably my favourite out of the three I picked up!! The colours when you first dropped the bomb in the bath is insane, it is my favourite colour of pink, however, when it was done fizzing it become a dark purple and reminds me of a witches caldron or red wine. This made my skin feel very moisturised and soft, as you can see it is now part of the Christmas range so I might have to repurchase!


Lastly, I got this cute little Monster's Ball, This has to be my favourite so far, I love the amazingly sweet, floral scent that  arose from the bomb. The colours in the bath at first were a cute pink and blue, they then mixed together and created a pretty purple shade. It contains Cocoa butter which made my skin super moisturised afterwards!!

Like I mentioned, my store didn't have the full range, however, it is all on the websites! I was annoyed they didn't have the Pumpkin or Boo as they  would have been too cute!!
They also have Goth Fairy and Sparkly Pumpkin but I don't do well with Lush glitter so I decided not to buy them!!!
They also have their Christmas range out now which I can't wait to have a proper look!

Let me know if you have bought anything from Lush? What are your favourite Lush Products?
Love Emma

I feel like you can never go wrong with a little Lush trip, I actually posted a Haul  this time last year, I might make it an annual thing, gives me an excuse to go in.... actually I don't need an excuse ;)
I got a few bits for my birthday, as well as popping into the Glasgow store a few weeks ago!


 (Top to Bottom, Left to Right)

For my birthday I was actually given Intergalactic and Twilight in a set which was super exciting! I have had both before so I knew I would love them both.
Intergalactic smells a lot like spearmint  and the colours that are left in the bath are incredible! It leaves your skin feeling very soft and moisturised  due to the Cedarwood Oil. I would 100% buy it again.
The day of my birthday I used Twilight, the scent is very sweet and reminds me of candyfloss. It gives the bath a pretty glittery pink  colour and again makes your skin so soft. It contains Lavender so popping this in the bath is also extremely calming and relaxing. I actually repurchased this bath bomb when I bought the rest as it is one of my favourites.

I then picked up Big Blue,  I actually picked this up as it a very pretty colour. After speaking to the Lush worker, she explained one of the ingredients was Arame Seaweed. Apparently, it is meant to be very good to regulate the metabolism, so it went straight into my basket. It is also is meant to be good for your skin so it is a win-win. The smell is nice and fresh and I can't wait to use it .

ButterBall is the product I am most excited about, I wish I could remember  the girl's name that helped me but again she explained that this is great for dry or irritated skin. I have spots on my arm so hopefully, this will help. It also contains Ylang Ylang which helps with stress and anxiety so it would be interesting to try.

Last bath bomb I bought was Lava Lamp,  the product looks super eye-catching and I can just tell it will give the best colours in the bath. The scent isn't a scent I would reach for in Lush, as I am more of a sweet gal,  however, I love this. The Tangerine Oil gives it the best fresh  citrus scent, it is described as fruit pastilles on their website and I totally agree. It contains Cocoa Butter which is my favourite moisturising ingredient so I am VERY excited to give this a go.
After trying this bath bomb in the bath, it was super moisturising and smelt amazing! However, When I got out the bath my whole skin was patchy purple! I tried to wash it in the shower, just with water but it never worked!! I had to exfoliate my skin for at least 10 minutes until it all came off!
However, Lush were amazing about the whole situation and sent me a free bath bomb for my troubles!

Have you been into Lush lately, what have you been loving?? Let me know if there is any products I need in my life. Has anyone had the same problem!?
 Hope you are having a great day!

21 days guys, 21 days until Christmas!!
Who is excited that I am doing my November favourites? I am!
November flew by and now its the official countdown to Christmas.
It was a crazy month so I do apologise for this post being late, But hers  is my November favs!

First favourites of the month has to be Redken Shampoo and Conditioner. In the summer I got highlights to lighten my hair and then recently I dyed the bottom half of my hair. I have never dyed my hair before this so my hair was in a good condition. Since dying it, it has felt weak and like straw. It was frustrating because like I said my hair has always been soft. My hairdresser recommended these products. I was a bit weary since I have quite oily hair but it has worked wonders. My hair has became soft again and the products smell amazing. It has been a major lifesaver and I would highly recommend.



Next up is PINK 'Hot Crush' body lotion and body mist. I have been loving the warmer smell of these. I used 'SunKissed a lot throughout the summer but this is perfect for this time of month. The scent is Jasmine mixed with warm caramel.
 I did write a review/haul about all the PINK products I bought whilst in America here. 
The body lotion is fab on my skin and the body mist is great after the shower. 



I have also been loving my 'Let It Go' Primark pjs, a few months I bought a Princess Pjamma top but it was 3/4 sleeves so it got cold whilst I was sleeping so I purchased this. They are super cosy an so cute. 

My favourite bath bomb has to be 'Father Christmas'. It smells like 'Snow Fairy' and it turned my bath green, it was really moisturising and made my skin really soft.
I am so tempted to buy another one! 

Lastly and probably my favourite has to be 'Let It Snow'. I was given this book as a gift for my christmas a few years ago. I have only really read the book in full once so this year I am determined to finish it. 
It has three different stories but they all come together at some point of the book. I would definitely give it a read. 

December will be such a exciting month, hope you are all having a great day!!!

I AM LITERALLY SO EXCITED THAT I AM BLOGGING ABOUT THIS. 
I have been waiting forever to be able to get my basket and shop the Lush Christmas Products. 
As you can tell it is my favourite time of year and Lush releasing these products gets me far too excited. 
I hope you enjoy browsing the products and hopefully you can get inspiration to go into Lush yourself.



First of all, back at the start of October I got a message from Keira saying that Lush had brought out an advent calendar. We were super excited, maybe too excited, that we bought it there and then.
We never researched what the 'Sleeps 'till Christmas' was, but we both assumed that is was the advent calendar. Fast forward a couple of days and it arrives on the door step. 
I opened it and knew right away that it didn't look like a advent calendar and right I was to find out that we had ordered the wrong thing :(
It wasn't an Advent Calendar it was just a set, with a countdown on the top. 
But it is still very exciting as it features some of the new range so we were happy anyway.

It contained 6 items. 'Five Gold Rings', 'Snow Angel', 'Intergalactic', 'Father Christmas', 
'Frozen' and 'Peeping Santa'.
As you can see I have already used 'Intergalactic' and 'Frozen. I really needed a bath bomb to relax and I thought they were the least 'Christmassy'.
 I loved 'Intergalactic' for its colours whereas I loved the smell of 'Frozen'
I am exited to use 'Father Christmas' as it smells a lot like Snow Fairy. 'Peeping Santa' is just adorable. I am weary to use 'Five Gold Rings' and 'Snow Fairy' as Lush glitter products can sometimes make my skin greasy but never the less it is still exciting.

I then went into Lush with Keira to browse the collection, there was so much amazing stuff. 
We both got our baskets and went a bit crazy.
As you can see from the picture I picked up 5 things!
'Dashing Santa', ''Yog Nog', Luxury Lush Pud' 'Candy Mountain' and 'Star Dust'.

I picked up 'Dashing Santa' as it looked so cute. It has a citrus, sweet scent. Reading reviews I can't wait for it to turn my bath red.

'Yog Nog' went into my basket as I loved the scent. It has a very sweet smell of toffee. It also has a pretty design. As you can see I have used this already. I absolutely love it. As it says on the website it 'Create creamy, comforting water' and that is exactly what it does. It was so lovely to relax in the bath and just soak. It was so moisturising  which meant I never had to apply
any moisturiser after my bath. It smelled  amazing so I would highly recommend.

Luxury Lush Pud' is probably the bath bomb I am most excited about. Like the others it just screams Christmas and looks adorable. But this one smells like Lavender. I always find lavender bath bomb so relaxing. I am going to wait until Christmas Eve to use this to calm me down ;)


'Stardust' just looked sweet and innocent. Having already used this I can't remember 
exactly how it smelled but is was very sweet.
After it fizzed out there were tiny little multi coloured stars!! Overall I loved this!

Lastly and most importantly CANDY MOUNTAIN! This has to be my all time favourites scents. I can't beat Candy Mountain!
I think someone should start a petition to get Candy Mountain all year round.
I can't wait to use it!






Hope you enjoyed this haul, Let me know if you purchased any? 
Who is excited that it is 32 days until Christmas?!!!

Hauls are, as you can see, are my favourite posts, I really love reading and watching them and it might be because I am nosey but I find it really interesting.
I recently went shopping with my sister Sarah, and one of the shops I went into was Lush. I haven't actually  purchased anything for Lush myself, I have always received them as a Christmas/Birthday gift. So this was very exciting for me to pick the products myself. 
This is what I filled my little basket of goodies with.... 



"Twilight"- £3.95
Firstly, it just looks pretty and if it looks pretty then it will definitely go in my basket. 
Secondly, it wouldn't really be the smell I would normally go for, I love sweet scents but I love this. 
It is a gorgeous Lavender scent and will be perfect to have a relaxing, calming bath. 


"The Comforter"- £4.75 
Ever since Gabriella and Zoe featured in one of their videos back in 2014 I have wanted to try it, a year later and I finally have my hands on it. It has a very sweet smell of Blackcurrant which is a win for me. It is also very large which means I will be able to get several uses out it. I am very excited to use it. 


"Sex Bomb" £3.35
I have actually had this before so I know I will love it. Like Twilight the bath bomb itself is super pretty,  I especially love the little rose in the middle. 
It is equally pretty when the bath bomb is in the water. It makes your bath a beautiful pink with extra floating roses. 
It has a very floral and feminine scent which in turns makes you feel and smell clean. 
I would really recommend this bath bomb. 


"Creamy Candy" £2.75 
This is and will always be one of my favourites products from Lush. Every set I have received has had this bubble bar inside. It smells super sweet and reminds me a lot of "Snow Fairy".
It is my favourite Lush scent so I had to pick up two. It will create lots of bubbles in my bath, changing the water to a pretty pink. 
It is also very gentle to my skin and will make your skin feel very soft. 
I will definitely be purchasing this again and again ;)


"Yuzu and Cocoa" £3.65 
 I was standing in the queue with my basket full of varies pink products when this caught my eye, I guess you have to smell everything in Lush just in case and I so glad I did. 
The main reason I pick it up was because it was shaped as a macaroon and it looked so cute. 
The scent surprised me as it was more citruses than I imagined but I fell in love.
In my opinion, it smells like a Tropical fruit smoothie with a mix of Summer. 
It isn't something I would normally pick up but I just loved it. 

If I could of I would have picked up the whole shop but I am very happy with what I bought.
Hope you are having a fab week.
What are your favourite Lush products?

Hey lovelies, so I was lucky enough to see Taylor Swift last night in Glasgow. 
I thought I would do something a little different and  I would show you what make-up products I I wore. Unfortunately I never got a picture of my make-up, but these are the products. 
                                                                                                
 Left -Right. Top-Bottom            


The Fab Pore by Soap and Glory.

I finally found a perfect moisturizer for my skin. It is amazing.

Mac Natural Finish Powder in Medium.
I use this for my bronzer and it gives a very natural contour

Mac Cinderella Highlighter. 
This gives the prettiest shimmer on your skin.


Two Faced La Belle Carousel.

I used Angel Hair and Haute Chocolate. Angel Hair is a gorgeous gold for all over my lid as well as on my lower lash, while I used Haute Chocolate in my crease.

Mac Hip'n'Happy Lip Liner.

Nake Two Basic Palette 
Cover is a perfect shade for my eyebrows. I get a lot of compliments on them whilst using the colour. 

Mac 'Blush Baby' Blush. 
This blush matches my natural skin tone perfectly.

Nars Sheer Glow in Mont Blanc (Light 2)
This has to be my all time favourite foundation.

Collection 2000 Long Lasting Concealer. 
My holy grail concealer.(When it isn't sold out).

Benefit Bad Gal Lash.
This is not always my go to mascara but last night it worked perfectly.

Topshop Gel Liner. 
I am not the best at the wing eyeliner right now but I do love this as it is super easy to apply, and gives a great look.

And Lastly Lush Bubblegum Lip scrub.
This really helps moisture my lips.



Like I mention this was Taylor. It was such a great night!! She is such a kind and down to earth person and if more people where like her the world would be a better place. 
I don't get a lot of photos but here is my favourite. After waiting six years to see her, She was incredible, it was definitely worth the wait. 
Big appreciation to Taylor, if you ever get the chance to to her perform live I would HIGHLY recommend it. 
What is your ' MOTD'? 
What artist are you loving right now?
See you Sunday.
Love Emma

LUSH  LUSH LUSH. Who can beat a bit of Lush, it is perfect in all occasions. It certainly makes your bath or shower 100x better. Over the last year I have received a few bits and pieces and I thought I would share my favourites. 

I received the Sweetie Pie gift set from my sister as a Christmas present. Snow Fairy is my all time favourite smell/products from lush. It is my ideal smell and I cannot get enough of the stuff. I was super happy so to see the bottle of Snow Fairy which I have unopened as I am leaving it until last. Having used this product before I know that the scent stays on your skin all day.

The bath bomb in the set was Shoot For the Stars, This is again one of my favourite. Drop this in the bath and it creates a space like scene in the tub. Very pretty colour. The product was very relaxing and very moisturising. It did leave me with a lovely purple bath.


I was delighted to see Candy Mountain. I had always wanted to try it but not realising it was only out at holiday time i never picked it up. I love it. It smells a lot like Snow Fairy, very sweet, like candy floss. which is a win for me.  It created a lot of bubbles and a sweet smell. It was nice to relax with. I definitely need to stock up on  this at  Christmas so I can use them all year round.


I received Hoppity Poppity as a Easter gift from my sister. It gives an amazing smell that lasts a long time. Very cute. Semi sparkly bath. Not to much colour or bubbles but feels nice on  my skin. The smell reminded me of  Parma Violets (a favourite candy as a child) I love the bath bomb and it was perfect for Easter. I will definitely be buying it again.  

The Immaculate Eggception. Probably one of my favourite, you crack the outer shell to a little chick inside. Once again the smell is very sweet like candy and it gives a lovely pink colour to you bath. This is  a  very large bath bomb which means it can be used for  three baths. Although it hasn't got anything inside for moisturising, using a bath melt or another products would work lovely. Would highly  recommend.
The last products is my most bought product. Think Pink. I love the look of the bath bomb. The flowers are so pretty. It always makes my skin feel super soft and clean. Once again it leaves the bath with a lovely pink colour. I seem to love the sweet scents as this is very sweet. If it could not get better once it has  melted in the bath it produces little confetti hearts. Like I said it is a must have.
  
                   What is your lush favourites? Any recommendations? 
                                                Love Emma xox

Hope everyone is having a wonderful Easter, eat as much chocolate as can and enjoy family time!!!.... 

The end of March has came around so quickly!! It doesn't feel a whole month since I wrote my February favs! I guess I am excited that it is coming into to spring... I am a Winter Girl but I am tired of the horrible weather.. So hopefully April will bring more sunshine... Fingers crossed!!  

BEAUTY FAVOURITES 

Falsies Maybeline Mascara- Now I purchased this a good while a go, it was my favourite mascara. I know that this  is bad but I kept using the same tube that I had been for a while. It wasn't exactly doing its job and I didn't like it, but after finding a new one is my collection I started to re used it!!! 
I absolutely love it, I have no curl to my eyes and this one does the job.. It has good coverage over the lash without going clumpy, the curved brush will always make my lashes look very long... It is my go to mascara this month and I think it will continue for a long time!! 

Lush lip scrub Bubblegum- I have heard amazing things about this product for a very long time but never really got round to buying it. I guess I never real needed it, but over the last two months my lips have been really bad.. Really dry and sore. So I thought I would bite the bullet and purchase it... 
It is amazing!!!! You only really need a little bit into your finger and then apply to your lips and rub!!!! I believe it is like a exfoliater for your lips!! It makes my lips feel very soft and not to mention tasting incredible. The bubblegum flavoring adds a bonus as you can lick it off. Like my mascara I think it will be a lifelong favourite 

Cinderella Highlighter.,,. 
 I had to mention one of these products.. as I purchased the Mac Cinderella collection at the start of the month.. I reviewed it here... And after using all the products this was my fav.. Like I said in the post I had been looking for a highlight for a long time and this is perfect! It gives a perfect subtle glow to the face and it is a definite in my everyday make up!!' 

Random Favourites 

This again is something I've had for nearly a year! I revived my Fujifilm Polaroid for my 19th Birthday last year and I am completely in love, but I have it really need using it for special  occasions. But this moth k have used it a lot... I adore hanging them on my wall. I can't wait to take more!!!! 

The food product I have been enjoying has been Almond butter. I am not a big fan of peanut butter but I did want something that I could spread on rice cakes or for a quick snack. So when I seen this in my supermarket I thought i would give it a go. 
The best way I have it is on rice cakes, it adds a sweet flavour as a perfect snack, I always put half a spoonful into my porridge in the morning and again it gives a very sweet flavouring!! 
It is also a lot healthier than peanut butter and I would totally recommend. All of course is GF 

After watching the Hobbit with my family my favourite song is I See Fire-Ed Sheeran! 
I am a massive fan of his and his album is always on repeats but this month I just can't stop singing this song.. The first part gets me every-time ... 


Pretty Little Liars HAS to get a mention after the long awaited reveal if 'A'. I've loved PLL for over two years and I've became obsessed but the last season has been so nail biting. Season five has definitely been my fav... I can't believe we know and at the same time we don't know who a is.... I honestly can't wait until June!!! 




Hope your having a great day!!! 
 What are your March Favs?! What are your Pll theories?! 
  Love Emma xox
