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! 

Lush Collection

The other day I was looking at all my Lush stuff and realised that because I had so much I should do a post on it; today we have my Lush Collection and I'm rounding up all my Lush products and share them with you. There is some Christmas & Valentine's Day bath stuff in this post and that's because I haven't used them yet.

Christmas-
-Candy Mountain bubble bar
-Never Mind The Ballistic bath bomb 
-Magic Wand bubble bar wand

Valentine's Day- 
-Rose Bombshell bath bomb
-Unicorn Horn bubble bar

Normal Range-
-Intergalactic bath bomb
-Big Bang bubble bar
-Think Pink bath bomb
-Milky Bath bubble bar
-The Experimenter bath bomb
-The Comforter bubble bar

That's all the Lush products that I currently have. In case you are wondering I store these in a large Lush bag and I store them in there because the bag is really cute and because the bag is big I can randomly choose a bath bomb or bubble bar because I like choosing from random.

Lush Favourites

A lot of people only talk about Lush when they have collections out (Christmas, Easter etc.) but never in between so I thought I would do a blog post with my favourite five bath bombs/bubble bars which you can buy anytime of the year. 

The Experimenter Bath Bomb- This was the first Lush product that I called a favourite and ever since I've always loved it. I prefer the bath bombs that give off a lot of colour and this one does just that; this bath bomb makes your bath all blue, white, pink and a bit of yellow and it's really pretty. This bath bomb is very sweet but has a comforting scent as it has vanilla and tonka extract in. This bath bomb is £4.25 and it is one of the more expensive bath bombs but it is really good and big so I would happily pay that price.

Milky Bath Bubble Bar- This is a bubble bar that I don't really hear many people talk about, which is a shame because I really like it. It's very simple as it only makes bubbles when you crumble it under running water but it makes so many bubbles and I love that! The scent is very refreshing and relaxing so this is good for pamper evenings. Key scents in this bubble bar are soya milk powder, cocoa butter, orange oil and patchouli oil. This bubble bar is £3.75, the average price for a Lush bath product.

Think Pink Bath Bomb- This bath bomb is a lot more simple than The Experimenter and even though I love colourful baths, sometimes when I'm having a Pamper Evening I don't want too much colour and this one makes your bath water pink with hearts in. This bath bomb is sweetly scented but very calming and that's down to tonka absolute, vanilla, neroli oil and lavender. This bath bomb is on the cheaper side at £2.75 but it's still really good and smells amazing.

The Comforter Bubble Bar- I know that this bubble bar is a lot of peoples favourite and it is one of mine. This bubble bar makes the water purple and it makes so many bubbles; you're supposed to break off a bit each time but I use the whole thing and that makes a lot of bubbles. This scent is blackcurrant because it has cassis absolute and cypress oil. This bubble bar is £4.95, which is one of the most expensive but it is worth it because you can get a lot of bubble out of it.

Intergalactic Bath Bomb- This bath bomb is very similar to The Experimenter because it gives a lot of colours and that's why I think I love it. This bath bomb makes your water mainly dark blue but it also does give colour of pink, green and yellow, which makes the bath really pretty. This bath bomb has peppermint oil, grapefruit oil, vetivert oil and cedarwood oil inside which makes the bath bomb have a lovely scent and this scent even makes my room smell. This bath bomb is £4.25, which is expensive but I do love it.

So they are my favourite products from Lush. Let me know in the comments below what your favourite products from Lush as everyone has different and maybe I can try some that I've never tried before.

Collective Haul | H&M, Lush, Paperchase + MORE!

This is becoming quite common now... Today I have ANOTHER Collective Haul and I think the reason why I'm doing more than ever is that I'm making my Collective Hauls shorter after that really long one ages ago. Let me know what you prefer- shorter or longer?

Postcards- I mentioned in a recent blog post that I really like the Paperchase postcards so when I was there last I picked up a couple of new designs and my favourite out of the 3 has to be the Sushi rolling one.

These were 70p each from Paperchase

Makeup Stickers- When I'm in Paperchase I usually check out the stickers and this time these makeup stickers caught my eye. When I got home I wanted to use them straight away so that's why there's not a full pack.

These were £1.50 from Paperchase

Pink Fresh & Clean Body Lotion- While Pink had buy 1 get 1 free on all of their body care I decided to take advantage and buy another body lotion as full price it is £15 and I do think it's a ridiculous price so I'll only buy them when they're on offer. 

This was £15 from Victoria's Secret Pink (buy 1 get 1 free)

Pink Fresh & Clean 2 in 1 Wash & Scrub- Like I said I only buy the Pink body care when it's on offer and that's why I bought the wash and scrub as I always buy cheap shower gels so this was very expensive for me but it is really nice.

This was £15 from Victoria's Secret Pink (buy 1 get 1 free)

Victoria's Secret Love Spell Fragrance Mist- I already had a mini of this and I really loved the smell so I thought why not get the large one because the smell is really nice and it's the mini that I have that I use the most.

This was £14 from Victoria's Secret (2 for £18)

Victoria's Secret Vanilla Lace Fragrance Mist- I don't think I had actually smelt this scent before but it's really nice and I didn't know I would love the scent of vanilla so much. I think I now have most of the Victoria's Secret body mists scent that I love.

This was £14 from Victoria's Secret (2 for £18)

Jumper- I know I said this before about how much love the H&M jumpers and I got another one. IISuperwomanII (Lilly Singh) wore this in a video a couple of days after I bought it and I was like yassss!

This was £5.99 from H&M

Bath Bombs- I haven't had a Lush bath bomb in forever so I bought my two favourites which are Intergalactic and The Experimenter but I do think they're too expensive now- Lush really needs to stop upping their prices.

These were £4.25 each from Lush

That's my Collective Haul for today. Expect another one soon unless I decide to make them longer but at the moment I'm not too sure what I'm doing so any feedback would be appreciated. 

Lush The Experimenter Bath Bomb Review

I love Lush so I thought I should start a series on where I review Lush products as every time I go into Lush I like to try products I hadn't tried before however this one, The Experimenter, I have had before and it's one of my favourites so I wanted it to be the first one in this series however the next ones in this series will be new ones to me. I also want to do a massive Lush Haul soon so let me know you're favourites.

What I Liked-

-Makes a lot of colours and the main colour is blue

-I like using this with the Tesco My Senses Shea Butter & Almond Blossom because it's a good mix with the bath bomb

-The product looks really nice with the colours

-Colours: Blue, yellow, pink and green. Some are more noticeable than others such as the blue

-Scents and Ingredients- Vetivent Oil, Tonka and Vanilla. I really like the scent although I can't put my finger on what is smells like.

-Good for everyone- I feel like a lot of people would like this as there's lots of colours and the scent is not that sweet and I know a lot of people don't like the Lush Snow Fairy scent (I love it)

What I Didn't Like-

-Can stain some of your body and bath and for me it stains my hands so prepare for a good old clean of yourself and bath after using this

-Colours disappear after a while and your left with blue bath water

-Takes a while to fizz which is annoying as I just want to get into the bath

-Not the cheapest and there are cheaper ones which are good, with a similar scent but not as many colours.

Information-

Price- £3.95

My Rating- 5/5

Would I Repurchase?- Yes

Overall I really like this bath bomb and would recommend it to anyone if they say to me what to buy from Lush.
