So after receiving a £20 gift card, Lush was calling and I got their just in time to try some of their new products which were exclusive to the Oxford Street store!

Here's what I got:



The Yoga Bomb - This one is infused with Sandalwood oils, making it a relaxing but not sickly smell. When used it is described to have orange, purple and turquoise colours slowly released. The name suits the fact that the bath bomb slowly fizzes and turns your bath a variety of colours as yoga is a slow relaxing activity.



The Frozen Bomb - Of course I had to pick one of these up due to being obsessed with the film!
This one contains grapefruit and rose oil making it a refreshing smell. The different shades of blue turn your bath into a shimmery blue lake that just shouts Frozen!

Here is what I wore to the SotonMeetup, some photo's courtesy of Poppy!

Playsuit was in the sale in New Look - It's so flattering and the crotchet detail adds the perfect finishing touches! Plus it was only £12!


These gorgeous pale pink block heeled shoes were also in the New Look sale for £7 and compliment the pink in the floral design of the playsuit

To again match the flowers in the playsuit, I painted them with my Tanya Burr 'mini marshmallows' nail varnish!

For my accessories I wore my silver flower bracelet from Essential Jewellers, my stacking Pandora rings and this new ring from Accessorize.





My makeup is:

• Foundation - Bourjois healthy mix
• Concealer  - Benefit boi-ing
• Bronzer - Benefit Hoola
• Eye shadow - Naked 2 palette 'Half baked', 'Foxy' in the corners and  'Snakebite' along the lash line 
• Mascara - Benefit 'They're real'
• Lips - GOSH 'shocking coral'

I was so excited when it came to the end of the month and I realised I could do my first monthly favourites! I love reading and watching people's monthly favourites to get inspiration on new products to try, so here goes my first monthly favourites to hopefully give you some ideas of new products to try!

The first couple of products in my July favourites are hair related.
During the month of July my hair  suddenly felt really dry. I don't know whether it was the weather or products I was using that did this, but these 3 products really helped!

First is the Garnier Ultimate Blends sleek restorer shampoo and conditioner with coconut oil and cocoa butter. After the first use my hair already felt like it was regaining some of it's moisture and the smell is divine! The mix of coconut oil and cocoa butter makes your hair silky smooth and full of moisture!




Next up is the Aussie 'Miracle recharge moisture' spray. It is a lightweight conditioning spray which you spray on towel dried hair before drying. It gives your hair the added moisture with the Australian Macadamia nut oil. It smells amazing and really helped restore some of my hairs moisture. I also used this during my holiday in Corfu where my hair was under constant sun and it really helps, I would definitely recommend it!



On to body products and this month I have been enjoying the Body shop 'Honeymania' shower gel. It smell's really sweet but not sickly and lathers really nicely making your skin really soft after use. As you can see it's nearly all gone and I've already purchased the 750ml bottle ready for when this one runs out!


My skincare favourite is this Garnier moisturiser. I've had this product for ages and started using it recently and for a drugstore product which only cost £4.39 it's really good! It's a '24 daycare' moisturiser and makes my skin really soft after use. I don't suffer with dry skin so I don't know how effective it would be for someone with dry skin but for me it does the job :)


My next 2 products are lip products!

First up is the Body shop coconut lip butter. First off the coconut smell is mouthwatering and smells so summery and reminds me of the beach and smell of sun cream! It's a really good lip butter and has stopped my dry lips so quickly! I use it in the morning when applying my makeup and then in the evening when i'm removing my makeup and it's just amazing!



Next is this GOSH lip stick in the colour 'Shocking coral 145'. It's the perfect summer colour and is not too bright and out their which I like!


My last beauty product is my Naked 2 pallete which is technically an all year round favourite but I've been wearing it more throughout July. My favourite 'go to' colour is 'Half Baked' the gorgeous glittery gold colour with 'Bootycall' in the inner corner of my eyes and 'Busted' the deep brown along the lash line :) they are such good quality eye shadows and stay on all day without the use of a primer!



On to my random favourite of July, this colouring book has been my savior! I'd definietly recommend getting yourself an 'adult' colouring book if your looking for something simple to relax and destress as it definitely works at doing that for me! This one i got for about £5 from Amazon and came really quick and is just so calming and contains loads of cute patterns to colour!



Next is a YouTuber. I discovered Just_Jodes on twitter and listened to her interview on Beauty and the Beats radio station. She does lots of beauty videos and is such a down to earth girl! She's constantly replying to her Twitter, YouTube, Instagram and Snapchat messages which is so lovely to see. Check her out here - https://www.youtube.com/user/justjodess

Lastly, is Taylor Swift's 1989 album which I've literally had on repeat! My favourite song is either Blank Space or Style!


                                     

So what do you do when your feeling down and need something to lift your mood? Do a bit of online shopping of course!

I've been dying to try Zoella's new beauty range as I loved her first lot, so when I received the email saying Feelunique was doing a 3 for 2 offer I jumped at the chance of trying them!

So here's what I got:


This gorgeous 'Tutti fruity Let's Spritz' body spray smells divine! It's fruity summer fragrance is handy to keep in your handbag to freshen you up when your out! It's strong but not overpowering and is described to have 'delicate notes of Raspberry and Cassis' which I think is such a cute description! The design of the bottle is so cute with the lace black and metallic blue :)


This 'Kissy Missy' lip balm is an essential to any girl's handbag! It gives you lips moisture whilst making your lips a stunning pink colour! I love that it's a 2 in 1 product as I often find lipsticks dry my lips out, but this just fills them with moisture!


And where would I keep the 'Kissy Missy' lip balm so I don't lose it? This cute cosmetic/coin purse of course! It's perfect size to keep your beauty essentials in so they don't get lost in your handbag! The design is so pretty with the various images of beauty products :)


My last Zoella Beauty product was the 'Fresh Fizz' bath fizzer. It consists of a block of 4 bath fizzer's which you pop into your running bath and they unleash a gorgeous fruity fragrance!

After taking the pictures with the love heart candles, I blew them out to discover the letters all muddled up as the wax melted and created this cute anagram! What did it say?

So on the 1st May I turned 19 and was very spoilt! I love reading and seeing what people get for their Birthdays so decided to jump of the band wagon and share what I got!

From my amazing parents I got this gorgeous Ted Baker bag! The minute I set my eyes on it I
immediately fell in love. I feel the pastel colours is ideal for spring/summer and can complete any outfit. The inside is pale pink and the zips are rose gold (drools)
It's a very handy day bag and is very spacious and includes different compartments for all the essentials and not so essential items that you feel at the time are essential then wonder why they are in your bag!











I then treated myself to another Ted Baker bag as I couldn't chose which one I wanted, so cheekily opted for both (whoops!) This cream and black panelled bag I feel can be used all year round and goes with any outfit! The inside is a gorgeous floral design and the zips are gold. This one again has various compartments for all your handbag essentials and the handles can be made longer too. The only downfall to it is it can be quite rigid and hard to get big items out of, but it''s beautiful so who cares!





From my Grand parents I got the Giorgio Armani Si perfume which smells define and is very different to my usual Marc Jacobs Daisy perfume which is very florally.  It comes in a very simple but sophisticated bottle and I also got a mini handbag bottle and hand cream with it too!



From my Aunty and Uncle I got this stunning floral watch from Essential Jewellers. I wanted a plasticy watch that I can wear to work and not worry about getting it messy as I work in Early Years as I was getting weary about wearing my Rose gold fossil watch to work as it was getting ruined! So when out shopping I spotted this floral beauty in the window and just had to try it on and add it to my Birthday wish list!


From my Brothers I got two gorgeous Urban Decay eye shadows in the shades 'Smog' and 'Maui Wowie' which go together like a dream. I originally went to the urban decay counter to get the 'Half Baked' shade, a gorgeous glittery gold colour which was running out in my Naked 2 palette but then spotted these two beauties so immediately added them to my birthday wish list!
They also got me this amazing scented candle from Saingburys I belief in the scent 'Passion Flower and Mango' I honestly can't get enough of it! I'm a huge candle addict and this goes on my top five favourite candle scents!

Lastly,  I got the 'Deliciously Ella' book and am so excited to start eating more natural foods and gluten free foods to see if it settles my tummy (blog post coming on my journey to a Gluten Free diet)



Hope you enjoyed seeing what I got for my Birthday, here's a Birthday selfie to end the post xxx
