Quick Lush Review: Butterball Bath Ballistic

OMG! I have literally just got out of the bath and came to write this review because I was so excited about it! I bought this a while ago but I have only just got round to using it and it was so amazing! I feel like I have literally just rubbed butter all over myself. I have had Lush baths before and the water was soft and moisturising, but I wasn't expecting the butterball to make it THIS moisturising!

It dissolved in the water kind of slowly, and you could see bits of cocoa butter coming out of it! It smells amazing too! More subtle than other Lush products though.

My Back To School Makeup Essentials

Hi everyone, the summer holidays are nearly over (Finally! I've been off since May!) and I am excited to go back to school to start my A Levels, so I thought I would give you a list of what makeup I love to wear to school!

So, the first thing is obviously a foundation. Personally, I go for a very natural look and don't like to look cakey or orange. My two favourite foundations are Rimmel Match Perfection Cream Gel Foundation, I am colour 100 Ivory (click here to see my review on it) and Maybelline Dream Satin Liquid Foundation, I am colour Light Porcelain 001.

My favourite blush to use is Avon True Colour Blush in Soft Plum. This gives a very natural flush of colour and is great for school. Also, I love to use a pink lipstick for blush. Just dab a bit on the apples of your cheeks and blend it in with your fingers!

For eyeshadow I love to use Avon True Colour Tiger's Eye (limited edition, so unfortunately you can't get it anymore) a good alternative would be Avon 24K Gold Eyeshadow Quad. I also love to use the Avon 8 in 1 Neutral Tones Palette which I don't think you can get anymore either. A good alternative would be Makeup Academy Professional Eye Palette Heaven & Earth.

My favourite eyeliner at the moment is Smashbox Limitless Eyeliner in Onyx. It glides on the waterline really smooth and stays put.

And last but not least, I love the Rimmel Lash Accelerator Mascara in Extreme Black (click here to see my review of it).

Are you excited to go back to school? Or are you dreading it? Let me know in the comments!

Thanks

My skincare routine!

Hi everyone, I thought I would show you my skincare routine! I have normal skin, except in winter when it goes quite dry.


1. The first thing I do is wet my face with warm water and apply either My Skin Rise and Glow Daily Facial Wash (Left) or Lush's Aqua Marina (Right), massage it into my face, then rinse.

2. Pat face dry with a towel and apply moisturiser, either Lush's Enzymion or Lush's Skin Drink. I know that both of these moisturisers or total opposites; Enzymion is for oily skin and Skin Drink is for very dry skin. I tend to use Enzymion more as it feels nicer and isn't as oily and greasy as Skin Drink. I use Skin Drink when my skin feels tight or I have a random dry or irritated patch.

Occasionally, I will use Lush's Love Lettuce face mask, I love this stuff! It leaves my skin feeling so soft and fresh!


Have you tried any of these products? If so, I would love to hear your thoughts on them, leave a comment! I will reply to it!


Thanks

Review: Rimmel Lash Accelerator Mascara in Extreme Black

Hi everyone, today I'm going to be talking about the Rimmel Lash Accelerator Mascara in Extreme Black. So the reason I bought this mascara in Extreme Black rather than Black is because I like a really black mascara that doesn't make my eyelashes look like a squished spider or make them look clumpy.


This mascara is perfect for me because it doesn't make them look like a squished spider, it just makes them look really long, black and natural. On the packaging it says that it is supposed to make your eyelashes grow longer. It doesn't. Well, it makes them look longer when you wear the mascara but I haven't noticed a huge difference in the length of my lashes to be honest (I have quite long lashes anyway so maybe that has something to do with it).


It is £8.99 at Superdrug. Compared to other mascaras from Superdrug it isn't the cheapest but it isn't the most expensive either; it is somewhere in between but slightly more towards the more expensive side. I would prefer the price to be a little bit less because, although I love it, it doesn't really do what it says which is to make your eyelashes grow. But in conclusion, I do love this mascara!


Have you tried this product? If so, let me know what you think of it in the comments section!


Thanks for reading.
