Saturday Shopping Haul | July 2017

Recently I did a Sunday Shopping Haul and today (the day I write this is a Sunday) I went shopping and bought a few new things that I really wanted to share with you. It's mainly fashion but there's two other random things in here that I thought I would throw in. 

GCSE Geography CGP Revision Guide- I'm failing geography and am so bad at it so I thought I would buy a revision guide to try and help. Neither Waterstones or WHSmith had the one that I wanted so I decided to buy this one instead and it does seem to be quite good from what I saw during a quick glance. 

This was £5.95 from Waterstones

Lilac Tied T-Shirt- When I write this is was very hot so I needed some summery t-shirts so I bought this one as I love the colour of it and it will look really nice with black jeans, trainers and my backpack. It's also really light material which is perfect for summer. 
This was £4 from Primark 

Black & White Shoes- I had a pair very similar to these from Primark, which I bought last year, but they got a hole in so I bought more because I really like them shoes. They're super comfy and work well with lots of outfits.
These were £5 from Primark 

Black & White Stripy Top- For ages I've wanted a top like this but never found one so I'm glad I found one in H&M. I'm planning on wearing this with black jeans as I think it will look really casual and nice. 
This was £3.99 from H&M

Black & White T-Shirt- I bought a lot of tops today but that's what I needed but this was the last one that I bought. It's just super casual and can be worn with loads of different outfits. It was also on sale so I thought it was a great bargain and I think I'll get a lot of use from it. 
This was £5 from H&M

Stickers- Whilst in H&M I saw these packs of stickers and thought they would be perfect on my laptop as I've wanted some on it for a while. They're really cute and add a lot of personality to my laptop, especially because before it was very plain. 
These were £4.99 each from H&M

That was everything that I bought whilst I was out today and I'm now really excited to wear my new pieces. For more of me follow my Twitter (@thelipinsider) and Instagram (@thelipstickinsider)

Types Of People On Snapchat

So I've had Snapchat for quite a few months now so I have come across the types of people that use it and what they typically do. I'm not hating on anyone by this as I do some of these myself so this is just a bit of a laugh. 

The Filter Person- I love Snapchat filters but there's always that one person that has to use them all (and post them all to their story!!!). Or people use the filters on their family who don't know whats going on and it's boring for everyone watching so you have to skip through them all. 

The Food Person- Honestly, this is me. The food person is someone who always posts about what they're eating and where they're eating. I do this a lot because I love food. I actually don't mind these people because I don't mind seeing pictures of food.

The Begger- I don't know if this is just people from my school or not but I do usually see people begging saying "I beg someone have a house party soon". These really annoy me because if you want someone to have a party, have one yourself! 

The Person Who Only Posts When They Go Out- This is a person who only posts when they go out with their friends to show that they actually have friends. Also, this person doesn't usually post that regularly so when they do it's just their friends and usually mugshots. 

The Streaks Person- Who doesn't love a Snapchat streak? Some people only post when they get 100 days with someone and then that's it. I post when I get 100 days with someone but I do post other things (like food).

The Happy Birthday Person- Obviously this is a nice one but it's people that only put on their story Happy Birthday. This is a nice gesture but I would like to see other things on people's stories. I also am someone who prefers saying happy birthday privately so I only do it when I'm really close with someone. 

The Selfie Lover- There's nothing wrong with posting a selfie but it does annoy me when people take a selfie and then scribble their face out or put a big emoji over the top. This annoys me because what's the point of taking a selfie then!   

The 'Talk' Person- This is the person who puts on their story telling people to chat. This is nothing big but it's just something that I've noticed people doing. 

That's enough shade thrown for one day and none of this is mean to offend it's just what I've noticed. For more of me follow me on Twitter (@thelipinsider) and Instagram (@thelipstickinsider). 

Desk Essentials | June 2017

Sadly I've been having to do lots of revision recently (due to mocks soon) which has meant that I've had to spend a lot of time at my desk. I've come to a conclusion of what I need on my desk and what I don't need and in this blog post I'm going to share with you what I need to hopefully help you! 

Pens- This is an obvious one but you can't really revise without a pen. Key pens which are important when I revise are Sharpies, normal black Biro, couple of colourful Biros and my pen which has 4 colours in. 

Laptop- This can be a good or a bad thing as sometimes I do get distracted and start going on Twitter but when I'm using it for school it's good as I can quickly look stuff up on Bitesize or do Mathswatch which help my learning. 

Tablet- This is something that I've only recently started using but it's very helpful because I haven't got any apps on it so I can't really get distracted. I use this for the same reasons why I use my laptop.

Paper- I can't revise if I don't have any paper as I need it to write all my notes on. I could do it on my laptop but I've found that I revise better when writing stuff down instead of typing. For most subjects I used lined but for English mind-maps I use plain and for maths I use squared paper.

Revision Guides- I get most of my notes from the classwork but I always read the page in the revision guide because there can be stuff which was missed out in class. Or I can use these if I have a bad teacher and we don't make any notes in class so I have to teach myself using the revision guide. I also use these for the practise questions.

Ringbinders- For most of my subjects I have a ringbinder in which I keep all my revision notes. I've found this to be the most organised way to keep them and I have separate folders for each instead of one big one. 

Water- Water is an essential everywhere that I go so obviously I need it when I'm revising. I also remember hearing that it's good for the brain but to be honest I have it because I get thirsty. I usually have my velvetgh0st Primark tumbler cup on my desk. 

Snack- If I'm working during the day I like to have some sort of snack because I seem to get more hungry then. I know it's better to go for something healthy but I'm not healthy so usually it's chocolate or a couple of biscuits. 

Notebook- Right close to an exam I will get my Pukka Pad notebook and write what I think are the most important things in that upcoming exam and I also condense my notes so for the last couple of days I will revise from that instead. 

I hope you found these tips useful so you know now what to keep on your desk when you're revising. Let me know your desk essentials as maybe I've left something out. Follow me on Twitter (@thelipinsider) and Instagram (@thelipstickinsider) for more! 

After School Routine | June 2017

I know it's nearly the end of the school year but I still wanted to do this because I wanted to share my After School Routine for when I'm revising after school. This was one of my productive days because some days I don't do that much but I did quite a bit this night and I was proud of myself. 

I usually get home from school at around 3:30 (we finish at 3) and then I will get changed into some comfy clothes which are usually a hoodie and leggings. After that I usually chill out but today I had some homework so I answered an ICT exam question and then I went on Vocab Express to do some French homework but there was none, which was great! This meant that I could chill so I probably went on Twitter for 20 minutes. I also had a snack of a Galaxy cake bar as I was getting quite hungry.

After this I will then go downstairs and make mine and my sister's lunch for the next day. I will also talk to my sister about our days while I'm down there. I usually will be making dinner but on this day I had dinner later so it was a bit different. 

Then I will go upstairs and do some revision. I started off with maths and I was just revising what we did in class that day, which was the nth term; I also did some practice questions from mathswatch to consolidate my learning. 

I was starting to do some English revision, reading through my language exercise book and make notes on key bits when my McDonalds came! I had a quick 15 minute break to eat this and whilst I was eating I watched a YouTube video and went on my phone. Once I was finished I went back to revising English and continued what I was doing. 

Then I had a massive break. I had a dessert (an Areo mousse) and I also chatted and spent time with my sister because I really don't want to be revising all night. 

After that I continued with revising and I did some French revision whilst watching Victorious on Netflix. I only done one page of notes but it did take quite a while and this revision was on adjectives. 

I was getting quite uncomfortable in my clothes (it was a really hot day for May) so I decided to have a shower and get into my pyjamas. I also did my skincare routine and brushed my teeth.

After finishing the episode of Victorious I was watching I put on some YouTube and curled my hair using my Lee Stafford Curling Wand, which I did a review on a couple of weeks ago. Once I had finished I was meant to do some extra revsion but to be honest I couldn't be bothered and left it. I watched YouTube and then went to bed after checking my phone.

So that was my After School Routine. I was also meant to do some biology revision but I left everything I needed at school so that was kinda a good thing! For more of me follow me on Twitter (@thelipinsider) and Instagram (@thelipstickinsider)

Having Blogger Block?!?

It's a Tuesday morning in May when I write this and to be honest I have no idea what to write. I have no inspiration of what to write about; I look round my room and all the ideas I can think of are boring or I can't think of any. To be honest I never really had blogger block in the past but at the moment I am suffering from it (I'm making it sound like a disease).

When I get home from school all I seem to do is relax, revise and watch Netflix. I don't watch much YouTube anymore, which I think is one of the reasons why I haven't got any inspiration. If I wrote blog posts about my life it would be so boring as I have no exciting storytimes and nothing interesting happens. 

Writing this mini blog post has helped me think of some new blog post ideas which I can do such as an After School Routine and a Current Favourites but I won't promise anything as I'll probably get bored writing them and give up. In my draft folder I have 2 draft posts but I haven't scheduled them yet as I haven't been bothered to take the pictures of them and I wrote the posts in March.

Hopefully in the summer holidays I'm going to write a lot of blog posts because I'll need them when I go back to school in September due to the fact that I'm going to be in year 11 and probably have no spare time! 

If any of you have had experience with blogger block (I'm still making it sound like a disease) let me know what you did to overcome it because I don't want to be forcing out content that I don't like but I really want to write. In the meantime, I have been posting on Twitter (@TheLipInsider) and Instagram (@thelipstickinsider) so if I'm not posting on here I'll be posting on either/both of them. 

Sunday Shopping Haul | #1

Personally I don't really like writing big hauls but I still want to show you what I've bought recently so I've decided to do smaller hauls. They'll probably contain a few new items which I've bought and I'm really excited about. I actually have a lot of new stuff which I never showed you (due to never writing a haul I had planned) so maybe I'll need to do a current favourites?.... 

 Bright Pink Cropped Hoodie- I already this exact hoodie but a brown version and I really like that hoodie and I love pink so this seemed perfect for me. I haven't worn it yet (I only bought it less than 24 hours ago) but I'm really excited to.
This was £7 from Primark 

Vaseline Spray Moisturiser in Cocoa Radiant- My beloved Victoria's Secret Pink body lotion is nearly finished and as I haven't been near a Victoria's Secret recently I haven't been able to buy one. However I have used this one before and it's probably my favourite from the drugstore and I love the spray!
This was £3.29 from Boots (on half price)

Radox Feel Pampered Bath Soak- When I use a Lush bath bomb I don't like using a Lush bubble bar aswell so I decided to buy another bottle of bath soak so I can still have bubbles when using a Lush bath bomb; I refuse to have a bath unless it has bubbles in, that's how stubborn I am.
This was £1 from Boots 

Dragon's Egg Bath Bomb- I've never actually had this bath bomb before but I've heard good things about it so that's why I picked it up. I'm not really a fan of the citrus scent so I'm hoping it will smell nicer when in the bath.
This was £3.95 from Lush

Intergalactic Bath Bomb- This is one of my all time favourite bath bombs and I used it the day before I went shopping so I decided to pick a new one up so I have one in my stash. This creates so many lovely colours in the bath and that's why I like it so much!
This was £4.25 from Lush 

The Comforter Shower Cream- When I go to Lush I only buy bath bombs and bubble bars (apart from Snow Fairy at Christmas) so I decided to buy this shower cream called The Comforter. I expected it to smell like the bubble bar of the same name but it doesn't really but I'm still excited to use it.
This was £4.95 from Lush 

That's all that I bought last time I went shopping. I did actually go shopping the day before but all I bought was 2 revision guides and a repurchase of a mascara so I thought there was no point showing you. Make sure you go and follow my Instagram (@thelipstickinsider) and Twitter (@thelipinsider) for more on me! 

Primark Haul | May 2017

I hadn't had a massive Primark shop forever so one day I decided to. I went to my local branch and ended up buying lots of things, which I'm really excited about. I have worn some of them already as I've been so impatient to!

4 Pack Fashion Tissues- Whenever I'm having a big shop in Primark I will always pick up these 4 pack of tissues. I always take them to school with me so I like to have more. These are great value for money as you get 4 packs for 50p and they also have cute outer packaging. 

These were 50p

6 Pack Mixed Hairclips- If you haven't read my last post (why haven't you?!?) you would know that I have been curling my hair a lot recently so I got these for that. I have used them but they were a bit fiddly trying to separate my hair so I might try them again or just not use them.

These were £1

Brow Bar Sunglasses- These sunglasses were hugly on trend last year thanks to the Dior version but I decided to pick some up because I really liked them and I feel like my usual Aviators make me look like a criminal so I wanted to get some new ones.

These were £2 (was £3)

Triangle Bar Necklace- Whenever I'm having a big shop in Primark I always end up buying a necklace and this was the one that I bought this time. I haven't worn it yet but I think it will end up looking cute with loads of outfits, especially ones with black jeans and something which is featuring in this haul.

This was £3

Pink & Leopard Print PJ Set- I've mentioned these a few times on my blog but that's because I really like them. They come with a plain t-shirt and printed pyjama bottoms, which are super comfy. These work out to be £3 for each thing which is great and that's why I prefer buying them in sets.

This was £6

2x Black Cotton Leggings- Primark have the best leggings and I'm always buying more. I wouldn't buy them anywhere else because they'll probably still split and in Primark I can buy 3 pairs for £7.50 but in New Look I can only buy 1 pair for £7.99 so I would rather buy them in Primark.

These were £2.50 each. 

Black 'The Slouch Tee'- I already have one of these but because it's a good basic to have I picked up another. I usually wear these under cropped hoodies because I like the look of cropped hoodies but I don't actually like wearing crop tops and things so I'll wear one of these underneath.

This was £2

Coral Pom Pom Shorts- If you know me you would know that I hate showing my legs so buying shorts is a bit weird for me. However I purchased them to be used as pyjama shorts. Usually in the summer I get really hot at night so I can wear these, even though they're not supposed to be. 

These were £2.50

Long-line Lightweight Blazer- This blazer is something that I've wanted for a while now (not this exact one but this style) so when I saw it in Primark I had to buy it. I love the colour and it will smarten up any outfit. I've worn this already with black jeans and boots and I think it looked really nice if I do say so myself. 

Nude/Light Stretch Vest- This is just something that I picked up to go underneath the pink lace top as I knew that I wouldn't have anything to wear underneath it so I bought this vest, which isn't something that I wouldn't wear any other time. 
This was £2.50

Light Pink Lace Top- This top looks perfect for spring and I think it could be dressed up or down, depending on what you prefer. As it's lacy I bought the vest above to wear underneath and I'll probably wear this with jeans and also boots for a really cute outfit for spring going into summer.
This was £6 from Primark 

Brown Cropped Hoodie- Everyone seems to have this or something like this and I really like the style. Every time I've gone to Primark they never had my size so this time so I could finally get it I sized up to a size 12 and it does actually fit well (apart from the arms are too long) and it also means that this isn't too cropped on me, which I love.

This was £6

There was another top that I bought but I've seemed to lost the picture somewhere either on my laptop or my phone but we'll just leave the haul here. If there's any blog post suggestions you have let me know in the comments below and follow me on Twitter (@thelipinsider) and also on Instagram (@thelipstickinsider).

Lee Stafford Chopstick Styler | Review

Recently I've been getting into curling my hair a lot more and my old curling tongs were really bad (they were £7.99 from Argos and took forever to curl a single piece of hair but I'll do a review on them another time) so I decided to get some new ones. I decided to get the Lee Stafford Chopstick Styler Curling Wand because I've heard good things about it and today I'm going to reveal my two sense on it.

Thoughts- 
-Curls are made really quickly so don't need to hold for long. This is probably the same with most curling wands but my old ones didn't so it was a really good feeling when these one did.
-Thin barrel makes really tight curls.
-Heats up quickly
-Hair feels silky and smooth because it is coated in ceramic.
-Great value for money- £19.99 from Argos.

Overall I think these are amazing and would recommend to anyone who is looking to buy new a new curling wand. As I said they were £19.99 from Argos which I think is a great deal even though they weren't on offer. I would rate these 5/5 as I couldn't find any faults with them.

Let me know anything else you would like me to review whether it's makeup or anything really! For more of me follow me on my Twitter (@thelipinsider) for random thoughts about life and follow my Instagram (@thelipstickinsider) for my life in pictures. 

Revision Tips & Techniques

As we are now in exam season I thought I would share some of my revision tips with you. These might not work for everyone but it's good for you to know them because they might surprisingly work for you. These tips/techniques can be used any time of the year so make sure you make a note of these.

Make a revision playlist- A mistake I used to make was listening to my normal Spotify playlist and that has some really fast songs on that you want to dance to so I have made my own revision playlist that has a lot of slow tempo and acoustic music on. If you would like to know what's on my playlist let me know and I can do a blog post about it.

Don't spend ages making notes look pretty- This is a mistake pretty much everyone has done but if you make your notes look pretty you will spend less time revising. I limit myself to a couple of colours because colours help the brain but I make sure my notes are neat so I can read over them but I will just do simple titles and no colouring in. 

Get everything on your desk before you start revising- If you don't do this you will find is easier to procrastinate as you might end up going downstairs to get food and end up watching Titanic, going for a run, knitting a scarf and before you know it it will be the day off your exam so have everything you possibly need on your desk or around your desk.

Write stuff down- You don't learn that much by reading over your exercise books so you need to write stuff down. You could do this in the form of making flashcards or posters or whatever suits you best. And don't copy it word for word, change it into your own words so it's more easier to understand.

Allow yourself free time- Sometimes it feels like teaching aren't giving you enough free time but you can have some if you manage your workload better. If you do all your homework/revision during the school week it means you have the whole weekend to do activities that you enjoy. 

Use revision guides- Revision guides are really useful because they usually contain extra information which your class teacher might've not taught and you never know that extra information could be a 6 mark question in a test (okay maybe not that much). I would definitely recommend to invest in these (they're not that expensive) and especially subjects that you struggle with. 

Mnemonics- If you struggle remembering the order of something, mnemonics might help. I am really bad at making my own but if you search it into Google good ones will come up and hopefully it will help you remember it. 

Ways To Revise
Posters- This is what I do most of the time because I just like writing everything down and it helps me remember quite a bit of information. I don't make them pretty just pack them with information.
Flashcards- I use these for geography because I struggle with it so I can condense all of the information and remember the processes and the steps.
Past exam papers- These are really easy to find online and it helps you to understand the style of question they ask and mark schemes. 
Mind Maps- I don't do mind maps but they are helpful for some people because all they have to do is think of a colour and then remember what was on that colour branch.
Videos- YouTube can be your best friend. Write in the topic that you are revising and then watch the videos and make notes. This is good if your someone who loves watching YouTube. 

They're all of my tips and techniques and loads of information on revision. I hope this helps and good luck in your exams. For more of me follow me on Twitter (@thelipinsider) and Instagram (@thelipstickinsider). 

Rimmel Volume Shake Mascara | Review

Last month I was makeup shopping in Boots when I saw this new Rimmel mascara and saw that it was on offer. I have never tried a Rimmel mascara before this so I decided to buy it and test it out. Also I hadn't heard anything about this mascara before (I haven't been watching many makeup videos recently) so this was very brand new to me and these are my first opinions. 

My thoughts- 
-It has a very wet formula which can get very messy and I did find that it went around my eyes but that's probably because I'm quite careless.
-It's very volumising which the same suggests and I really liked how my lashes looked after using this mascara.
-It also made my lashes quite long too which I weren't expecting but I liked it as I LOVE long lashes.
-The packaging is quite boring colour wise; it is also quite heavy (9g) which means you get a lot of product in. This mascara is supposed to last 12 months so that is pretty amazing.
-Wish it was waterproof as I feel more confident wearing waterproof mascara. I don't know if this smudges if you cried when wearing it as I didn't test that out.
-No clumps which is amazing!
-Would recommend and I would give it 4.5/5

The shake aspect of this mascara is pretty cool as it means when the mascara dries up you just shake the mascara and it will be fresh again. This is a genius idea especially as your only supposed to use a mascara for three months and it takes me more than to finish off a whole mascara.  

Overall I really like this mascara and would recommend it, especially if it takes you a while to finish a mascara or if you just want a good mascara as this is a good one! For more of me follow me on Twitter (@TheLipInsider) and Instagram (@thelipstickinsider)! 

UPDATE | May 2017

I just wanted to do a chatty post today to explain what's going on behind the scenes of The Lipstick Insider; that sounds really serious but it didn't need to be. Recently I haven't been writing my blog and scheduled posts have been going up instead. The reason why I haven't been writing is because I have been bombarded with school work and then when I finish the school work I haven't had any energy to write a blog post. Another reason I think that I haven't been writing my blog is because I wasn't enjoying the post I was writing. I was writing a Collective Haul but there was so much that is was getting very boring and there was too many pictures to edit and then some pictures weren't taken right so I just neglected that post. I have deleted that post now but I might do a mini haul. 

From now on the posts on this blog will probably be shorter and more chattier (a bit like this post). I already have my next blog post planned (it's a makeup review) and over the coming weeks there might be quite a few makeup reviews because I'm enjoying them at the moment and they're quick and easy to write. 

If there is ever a moment of slience of this blog where I haven't posted in a while make sure you follow me on Twitter (@TheLipInsider) or Instagram (@thelipstickinsider) because I have been posting a lot on there recently because it's a lot more simpler. My Instagram feed isn't actually too bad at the moment so go and check it out!

Thanks for reading and I hope you understand about all of this as I do think that I deserve some free time after doing loads of revision instead of writing a blog post. Bye!

Day In The Life | School Day Edition

I haven't done a Day In The Life post for quite a while so I wanted to do another one but with a twist as usually my days are quite repetitive so I wanted to do a Day In The Life on a school day. If you want me to do any other themed Day In The Life posts, let me know in the comments below!

6AM- I wake up at 6:15 and I will then have breakfast, which on a school day is always Cookie Crisp cereal. After having breakfast I will have a quick shower and get into my school uniform.

7AM- Next I will do my makeup and if you want an updated school makeup look, let me know in the comments below. After that I will then relax by going on my laptop and phone, usually stalking on Twitter or Facebook to be honest.

8AM- I leave at around 8 and walk to school and it I get there between 8:20-8:30am. Form starts at 8:45 and that is 15 minutes long.

9AM- 1st period (lesson) starts at 9 and as I'm writing this blog post on a Tuesday, my first lesson on a Tuesday is maths.

10AM- Our second lesson starts at 10 and by this point I am usually starving, which is uncomfortable when sitting in a lesson. On the day I'm writing this my second lesson was PE. 

11AM- Thankfully break starts at 11 and during break I will eat my chocolate biscuit bar and I will talk with my friends (although they probably don't like me; jk). At 11:20 third period starts and on Tuesday I have English.

12PM- For the first 20 minutes I am still in English as all lessons are an hour long but at 12:20 I then had science and like in second lesson I am usually really hungry, even though I did eat at break.

1PM- At 1:20 lunch time will start and it lasts for 40 minutes. At lunchtime I do basically the same as what I do at break time, eat and talk. My lunch usually consists of a chicken sandwich, crisps, a frube, tomatoes and a drink but some days I don't eat it all.

2PM- Finally last lesson has come but that is the lesson of the day when everyone is most disruptive (all the teachers hate us). On this particular day my last lesson was French, which always goes really slow.

3PM- End of the school day! I always walk home and end up getting home at around 3:30. Once I'm home I will get changed into more comfy clothes and I will then relax by going on my phone and laptop. 

4PM- During this hour I will be making mine and my sister's lunch for the next day and I will also make dinner too.

5PM- This is dinner time (where obviously I will be eating). After dinner I will go to my room and do any homework that I got that day or I will do revision but usually it is a mixture of both.

6PM- At 6 o'clock I will still be doing some school work or sometimes I will write a blog post. At about half six and I have been working for an hour I like to have a break but this break does usually go on for quite a while- I need to work on that.

7PM- Usually I am still relaxing by watching YouTube or Netflix until around about quater to eight where I will shower. I don't shower for long as I hate spending long in there but some nights I do need to wash my hair.

8PM- After getting into my pyjamas and taking my makeup off I will either continue with any work if I am in a productive mood or I will relax by watching YouTube and browsing the internet, especially Twitter.

9PM- If I'm doing work this is my cut off time because I don't want to be working too late. I go on my phone, watch anything, get lost in Twitter and just relax! I should probably read my book but I always leave my book in school.

10PM- This is when I go to bed and I go to bed quite early because I don't want to be feeling tired in school. 

That's an everyday, basic day in the life of me on a school day. I hope you enjoyed this and give me more examples of Day In The Life theme posts you want to see; maybe either a Saturday or Sunday theme? Follow me on Twitter (@thelipinsider) and Instagram (@thelipstickinsider).

Empties | April 2017

It feels like yesterday that I did my last Empties post but the bag which I keep my empties in is now full to the brim which signals time to do another Empties post! If you don't know what an Empties post is it is a post where I show all of my products I have used up and give you a mini review on them.

Bath/Shower
Lush Unicorn Horn bubble bar- This is a bubble bar exclusively for the Valentine's Day collection. It produces so many bubbles if you use the whole thing and it also turns the water pink too! I did actually buy another when it was Valentines but when I've used that one I won't be able to repurchase. 

Victoria's Secret Pink Fresh & Clean 2-in-1 Wash & Scrub- This is quite expensive for what it is so I do use it sparsely but I did use it up. It claims it is a wash and scrub in one and the actual product does feel like a scrub when you squeeze it out but when lathering it over your body is feels like a wash. I would repurchase this product.

Flower Pharm Wild Rose Bath Bombs- This was my Christmas present from my friend Nicha and I really liked these bath bombs. They had a really nice rosy scent and were also very moisturising, even if it didn't make any colours. I did like these but at the moment I have so much Lush stuff that I don't need more bath stuff.

Lush Creamy Candy bubble bar- This bubble bar has quickly become one of my favourites because it is like an all year Candy Mountain! It turns the water pink and produces so many bubbles! I love the scent of this so much as it has the Snow Fairy scent, which I love. I have already repurchased this.

Lush Cupid Bath Bomb- This bath bomb was also from the Valentine's Day collection. To be honest I wasn't that keen on the scent and it also was quite disappointing in the bath as it only made the bath light pink but it only did in one section so I think the product needs to be bigger. I wouldn't repurchase this.

Lush Supertramp bubble bar- I got this bubble bar in the Oxford Street flagship store and I didn't like the scent but I liked the colours of the product (mint green and bubblegum pink) so I was hoping it would make them in the bath but sadly it didn't and it just made loads of bubbles (good thing) that didn't smell nice (bad thing). I wouldn't repurchase this. 

Body

Dove Go Fresh Antiperspirant- In my bag I like to keep a little deodorant because I don't want to be smelly when I'm out so if I'm feeling like I'm a bit gross I can whip this out and spray it. I have already repurchased a new one as I really like the scent.

Victoria's Secret Pink Wild At Heart Body Lotion- This has taken my ages to finish so I'm glad it finally is. Saying that I did really like this body lotion as it was very moisturising and quick to absorb into skin. I'm currently using this but in a different scent.

Impulse Be Surprised Body Fragrance- To be honest I don't remember ever using this or even purchasing this but I found this empty so I just threw this into my Empties. I don't even know what this smells like or anything but I do really like the Impulse body sprays. 

Sure Bright Bouquet Antiperspirant Roll On- As well as finishing my handbag deodorant I also finished the one that I keep at home. I did really like the scent of this and I would repurchase but my new one isn't this and is a completely different brand because it was on offer. 

Random
Wilko 70 Soft White 70 Tissues- Every morning I use a tissue to dab off any excess makeup off my brushes and also kinda clean my brushes so I have started to go through packs of tissues faster than before.

L'Oreal Studio/Pro Lock It Fixing Hairspray- I didn't actually really like this hairspray because my curls wouldn't stay and then when they would fall out it seemed really unnatural as my hair would be so sticky and disgusting. I wouldn't and haven't repurchased.

That is all of the products that I have used up recently. I'll probably do another soon though so if you like these posts then that's good for you. Make sure you go and follow my twitter @thelipinsider and my Instagram @thelipstickinsider for regular updates!
