Lush soaps Rockstar

Ah Lush, I do adore a good lush soap, sadly I can't use the bathbombs because I don't have a bath in my home *sobs* but I can use soaps and shower gels, yay! So on today's agenda is the Lush Rockstar soap.

 It may look like a pink rock, but that's because its Lush's one and only Rockstar soap! It smells so pretty and sweet, like a candy shop on overload! I love it it's been my go to soap for months, one of the few I'll actually keep repurchasing. Lush describes it as bubblegum, with a touch of Vanilla absolute, I love how its alost a musk lolly scent because that's what it reminds me of. As you guys might know by now, I am a huge sucker for pink, which is funny because when I was younger I loathed the colour! The soap is a very hydrating soap because it contains oils, and currently I am obsessed with oils! I use them on my face, my hair and I recently purchased one specifically for my body as well, you can say I'm a little bit addicted to oils.

 What it contains
Aqua, Propylene Glycol, Rapeseed oil, coconut oil, Sodoium Lauryl sulfates, Sodium Stearate, sodium hydroxide, Fragrance, Titanium Dioxide, Vanilla absolute, Glycerine, Sodium chloride, EDTA, tetrasodium editronate, Methyl Ionone, D&C Red no. 33

So as you can see its not all natural, but most soaps aren't because of the making process that soap is. If you haven't made soap, lets just say you need to be quite careful in the process (I have done a soap making class or two)

But this soap I didn't have any bad skin reactions to, as I have sensitive skin, I have to be careful of certain ingredients like fragrance, but this one I tried out and I had nothing bad to say about it! It perfumes my whole bathroom, and I love that! For an oily soap it lathers well and it doesn't take much product in one go to do so. I tend to cut a bit off and use that a couple of times and the rest keeps fresh, for longer.

 How to use it
I cut off a bit, and use it directly onto the skin, after the skin is moist (sorry I hate this word) rub gently, into a lather, rinse off. It leaves the skin highly perfumed for a little while after, and very moisturised.

Pro 
I adore the scent, its not over powering but it does linger, and the soap is moisturising

Con 
it does contain sulphate and fragrance which you might not like to use

you can purchase the soap for your soaping pleasure, at lush for $6.95 per 100gram


Have you tried this soap?
what others are your favourites that I should try?

The Golden Wonder lush bath bomb

Lush, its basically every beauty youtuber and blogger talks about, Lush this, Lush that, well for someone who hasn't got a bath in her household... aka me, it makes it very hard to try all the pretty goodies that Lush has to offer. Well I was offered a gig to house sit for the week, and I thought they have a bath, and mind you we have lived in our house for 10 years and that means I haven't had a bath in 10 years!

I made the most of it, I picked up 3 goodies last Sunday as I was in the city, I picked up the The Golden Wonder Christmas lush bath bomb, the bath melt as the sales person said it was the last batch they would be doing before summer, and I also picked up the Dragons eggs bath bomb, today however I am reviewing the Wonder Bar Christmas limited edition bath bomb.

 It's a very pretty bath bomb to behold, a fine sheen of sparkle around it and a white design on the top of it, it's also fairly large and looks rather festive.It is a giant present wrapped up in a bow, (that's the design if you didn't get it) and mind you it hides something inside.

 Apparently this is one of Lush's biggest bath bombs yet, so the present keeps on giving within the experience. It's also been designed around an old favourite Snow Shower jelly which is great because years ago I remember being raved about. I place the bathbomb in the water and it instantly fizzes into a glorious display.

 A mix of pink, blues, yellow, and purple with a hint of shimmer covers the surface of the water and when the fizzing stops and the bath bomb has disappeared you are left with the most stunning swirls of colour in an aqua green tub of water. Did I mention he shimmer?

 The bath water is actually changed as well, the feel is silky smooth, and it smells heavenly, very uplifting and refreshing.Warming and zingy, it made me feel relaxed and happy all at once. The gold sheen was also transferred onto my body which was pretty.

 I love that this is a vegan friendly product, and is an affordable treat that would make anyone feel like a million dollars! The only con was that I felt like the scent of it didn't linger too long, but people might like that in this product.

 For $8.95 I think its reasonably priced, as it was my first ever lush bath bomb I don't have others to compare it to but I think its priced well for its size and the quality of the experience it gives, my body was left feeling smooth and moisturised as well.

what are your lush favourites?

Lush haul Maypole, Old father time and Rockstar soaps

Hi lovelies! today I'm showing you what I purchased from Lush! I picked up 3 soaps, one of which was on sale as their Christmas stuff, what they had left over was half price. They didn't have much, but I picked up, what I could!  I actually got a good selection, I feel in scents and prettiness and textures in these soaps. Sadly I don't have a bathtub so it means I don't use their bath bombs, but I do use their soaps and body washes.

 I picked up old father time, Maypole and Rockstar, which are all unique and different in their own way.I picked up Old father time because it was stunning! a gold face, numbers to represent an actual clock, and the different blue hues that sweep inside of it make it look very steampunk like or even utopia like, and an original scent that, literally blew my mind.

 Opopnax, myrrh, rosewood, tuber rose, fresh sage and thyme infusion, gold glimmer lustre, makefor such an interesting combination! I haven't used these soaps as yet, so its basically a show and tell right now.

 Maypole a new and minty addition to their soap range! I actually assumed it would smell like watermelon when I first put my nose to it, how wrong was I! and I adore mint smells too, so I was happily surprised. Canadian maple syrup, peppermint oil, and coconut oil will make it an interesting soap to try!

 I fell head over heals in love with the Rockstar soap after I was given a sample piece to try awhile ago, I went back and bought a proper sized soap. It's fab candy-pink hue, and a scent like no other, it literally perfumes my whole bathroom, not that my bathroom is all that big, but you get my meaning here! Coconut, Vanilla, is the perfect combination in my mind!

I love lush soaps! so so much, what are your favourites or purchases as of late? find my haul here on youtube!

Lush, Daiso, Japanese, Korean make up haul

Hello lovelies! today I am showing you a post because yesterday I went shopping with a lovely friend of mine and we went to Daiso! it was unexpected as I didn't know that it was actually there, but now I know it is, I'll be going back there more often!



But I'm showing you my Korean make up haul that I purchased from Daiso that I can't wait to get using!

How pretty does this blush quad look? the packaging when opened is just as nice,is very Princessy as well.

 I picked up a pressed powder, a lipstick, a face primer, a mascara and these items from Daiso were all $2.80 each. Oh I also got a blush.

 I got totally sucked into the cute packaging of the lipstick!I think it will be great for when I go back to school in a couple of weeks.

 I can never have enough black eye liners in my collection!

 I just love the packaging on the mascara and think its adorable!

From Priceline I also picked up this savvy by db eye shadow pencil kit because by themselves they cost $6.99 however, this kit cost $4! so I wasn't saying no to that. 

 Lush had a 50% off table and I managed to get the Fairy ring soap! they had some Christmas stock left which I was totally surprised about. Normally its all gone by this time of Jan. I only paid $3.50 for it as well. I can't wait to use it as it smells so nice, I have the hot toddy shower gel so I'm so excited for this one.

I also got from Priceline these limited editions Essence pieces that were being discontinued for $1! the dark romance collection.

So what have you guys been hauling lately?

hugs
Jess
