Merry Christmas From Lush

Hello lovelies!


Hope you all had an amazing Christmas and had a wonderful time with family and friends over the holidays. I've had few days of bliss and am now settling back into real life nursing one serious food baby.

One of the gifts I received this Christmas was a Lush Christmas Present Box, which I'm sure all the bath fanatics out there will appreciate. I'm not a big bath person but when I do have one I like to go full out, bubbles and all!

I thought I'd share with you the lovely bits I found when I dug my hands through those little foam packing bits.

You don't even need wrapping paper for this beauty!

1) Rub Rub Rub Shower Scrub 130g

2) Baked Alaska Soap Bar 120g

3) Million Dollar Facial Moisturiser 10g

4) Santa's Lip Scrub (Tastes like Cola!) 25g

5) So White Shower Gel (Apple-y scent) 100g

I can't wait to have a relaxing bath one evening and give myself a mini-pamper session.

Thanks for reading,

Brilliant Benefit Jetset Review

Hello lovelies!

Long time no see and I apologise for that but I was snowed over with exam work and then Christmas happened and everything got busy.

But now whilst munching on my Christmas chocolates I thought I'd tell you about the new Benefit She's so Jetset kit I got as a present for Christmas.

I quite like this little box of stuff. I contains all the essentials for a half dressy half casual day look which can always be vamped up for a more glam look.
It also comes with a set of instructions for a nice smokey brown eye which I found really easy to follow and quick apply.

Here's what you get in the box:

• 4 shade eyeshadow palette
• Mini POREfessional, 7.5 mL, 0.24 US fl. oz
• Mini 'They’re real!' mascara, 4.0 g Net wt. 0.14 oz
• Face powder/highlighter with brush
• lip gloss in 'Life on the A list', 5.2 mL, 0.18 US fl. oz
• double-ended eye-shadow applicator

First up is the 'they're Real!' mascara. A nice little mini bottle very handy for travelling with and I did manage to produce some very long lashes with this product.

The kit comes with a primer to prep your face for make-up and this one, 'POREfessional', is a beaut. Although not as good as the l'ORÉAL Studio Secrets Professional primer in terms of pore coverage the Benefit primer is less heavy duty and smells wonderful!

The four shadows that come with the kit are nice and blendable to get a lovely brown and natural smokey eye for the daytime look.

 (Excuse the wrinkled and dry hand it's the Winter and moisturising is not my strong suit!)

I have to admit I'm not the biggest fan of lip glosses because I find them awfully sticky and my hair has a tendency to attach itself to my lips every time I wear some. But I do like this lippy primarily because of its amazing watermelon smell which is divine! It's a cute mini size which makes it perfect to pop in your bag on a night out.

Over all I have to say I'm a fan of this kit and it makes for a great last minute late Christmas present if you've managed to forget about anyone!

So that's it from me. Sorry about abandoning this blog for a while but I'm back and ready to go. Hope you are enjoying the festive season and aren't being drowned by rain as I am here in Ireland.

Thanks for reading,
Ciara.
