Mini Lush Haul

The Christmas Lush hauls have began to appear in my YT subscription box, so when I passed by a Lush store the other day I popped in and picked up a few bits.

There's only 3 things, as Lush is rather expensive! Here's what I got;

Dashing Santa, Bath Bomb £2.95
What the Lush website says
"Make a dash for this moving Santa bath bomb with a cheerful and uplifting scent of satsumas at Christmas. Watch Santa fly about your bath as his golden boots fizz away, releasing toning mandarin oil, bergamot oil and orange flower absolute that help put a spring in your step, too."

Northern Lights Sparkler, Bath Bomb £3.50
What the Lush website says;
"Escape into relaxation with this bath bomb that gives an impressive display no matter where you are in the world. As the ends fizz away, the middle slowly dissolves to reveal blue and neon green, turning your water into a calming jasmine and ylang ylang-scented swirling night sky scattered with stars."
The colours in this look amazing and the stars are exciting. I think this is a Bonfire special!

Blackberry, Bath Bomb £3.25
What the Lush website says;
"As soon as you drop this into your bath, tension is banished as the bergamot and frankincense oils are released. Bergamot is used in aromatherapy for anxiety, depression and nervous tension, and is both relaxing and uplifting as well as antibacterial. You’ll soon feel calmed as frankincense oil helps slow down breathing and induces a feeling of wellbeing."
This one smells amazing, I can't wait to try it!

London Haul

As I mentioned in my A Few Days in London... Post I recently went to London to visit my friend. Here's some things that I picked up.

Camden
I really wanted to go to Camden Market, I thought there was some lovely and unique bits and bobs there. Although a lot of it was quite expensive.
First thing I got was this Sunflower Headband from a cutesy little shop called Lily J I believe. It was approx £12
I also saw these little prints at the market. They were 2 for £5
Tiger
I saw VelvetGh0st talk about these copper frames and I thought they looked so cool and would really compliment the the neutral tone of my bedroom. For only £2 each you can't go wrong!
Superdrug
Real Techniques brushes are my weakness... I have nearly all of them. I was umming and arring wether to buy 'Nic's Picks', but when I saw they were reduced to £20 in Superdrug that just clinched the deal for me. I think these brushes would make a great christmas gift for someone who's make up obsessed. I love the silver detail.
H&M
I seemed to have lost all my umberellas, so picked up this cute one from H&M which was £5.99
New Look

I love this cute floral deisgn on the bicer. These cups always come in handy to transport and take up to my bedroom at night. £5.99
KIKO
The only shop I really wanted to visit was Kiko! I'm so excited to try out what I've bought!
Smart Lip Pencil, £2.50 each
I have mixed feelings on lip liners. I only had one lip liner which was a red (MAC Cherry) so I thought as I love a bold lip it was time to invest. I picked up 3 as £2.5o is not a bad price.
705 - an orange
700 - a simple ol' nude
710 - a deep purple/berry

Smart Lipstick, £3.90
I'm not sure what price they are usually but the lipstick was on offer when I picked it up. I love this shade it's easy to wear and is perfect for autumn! It's the shade 915

Natural Concealer, £5.50
I was on the hunt for a new concealer, so I thought I'd give this one a go. It felt lovely when I swatched it on my hand. I bought the lightest shade 01.

False Lash Base Mascara, £5.20

*aaaaand breathe* That is everything. I had so much fun in London and I'm really happy with everything I brought home!

A few days in London...

I've been visting a friend in Greenwich, London. I've truly fallen in love with London. It's such an exciting city. There's so much to do and everyone has somewhere to be. I've also (kinda) conquered the underground! A proud moment.

Here's what we got up to. I don't have photos of everything (it's really inconvenient to pull your camera out of your rucksack when there's loads of people everywhere)

Day 1
We started the day with a visit to ZSL - London Zoo, if you're going here I would suggest a 3-4 hour time slot. We then went for a bite to eat in Pizza Express, before heading down to Camden Market. I was really excited to visit Camden. I'd seen it in a lot of it in BeautyCrush's vlogs. I don't really know what to make of it, and a lot of things were really expensive.

Day 2
I had 3 hours to explore Greenwich by myself, as my friend had a lecture.
I started off with a visit to the Cutty Sark (I would recommend doing this if you're ever in Greenwich, it took about an hour and a quater).I then went to the market. Before heading over to sit in the park. I went to the Maritime Museum, and walked up to the Royal Observatory. This was all abit rushed as I only had one hour. I would suggest 2+ hours.
We then headed to Westfields shopping centre. I was so glad to visit Kiko, Tiger and H&M Home! It was absolutely huge with amazing selection of shops and food for everyone. On the way home we detoured to pay a visit to the amazing poppies at Tower Bridge.

Day 3
For the last day I was hoping to visit the National History Museum and the Science Museum. The line was crazy for the NHM and the SM was closed as the Queen was opening an exhibition.
We found ourselves wondering round the V&A before heading for lunch and some shopping. I would suggest visiting the Theatre Exhibition - I really enjoyed it and found it so interesting.

London truly captured my heart on these 3 days.
