Lush
I don't know how long Lush has been around, but i have only recently joined this wonderful trend. At first i was like, eh... who cares about soap and body stuff, it's all about the face that's all that is seen ahahahah. But i am so sooooo wrong. It is AMAZING!
Products that i have tried:
Rockstar Soap
This is a product is ranted and raved about all the time! To be honest, i hated it first but bought it for the sake of it. Now i love it!
Smells like: Candy, Soapy Candy, Red Skins, Sweet Washing Powder
What i love: How the smell is really distinctive and fills the whole shower
What i hate: The smell doesn't last on the skin
Therapy Massage Bar:
This product is really confusing at first, but once you figure out how to use this, this is stuff is amazing! You warm it up with your body heat from your hands to melt the oil from the bar, then you can use the oils to rub on your body as a lotion or you can rub it straight on your body, as a moisturiser.
Smells like: Lavender Oil, Hint of Orange, Relaxing Candle Things
What i love: Really moisturizing and lasts, makes you feel really relaxed
What i dislike: Can be difficult to use, can be hard to spread evenly
Strawberry Santa Shower Jelly:
This is only available during Xmas times and it is super cute and fun, its a little floppy santa, that you hold onto or break a chunk off of and use it just like you would soap.
Smells like: Strawberry Jelly ahah, simple as that
What i love: Its so much fun, and lathers really nicely and you only need a little tiny bit
What i dislike: Slippery and sometimes flies around
Christmas Party Bath Bomb:
Bath bombs fizz up in the water and have different fun things that make bath time a lot more fun.
This has plastic confetti stars that fill the bath up and make you feel like there's a party in your bath.
Smells like: Orange Pez, Pez, Pez, Fizzy!
What i love: The stars are so pretty, the smell may be my favourite
What i dislike: Makes the bath really slippery and hard to sit in, leaves the bath murky orange
Candy Cane Bubble Bar:
You can crumble this under the running tap to create bubbles in your bath. This creates a lot of bubbles and a nice pink smooth bath.
Smells like: Sweet lollies, similar to rockstar more sweet less soapy.
What i love: Nice bubbles, cute colour bath
What i dislike: Need quite a lot of product to create bubbles
Samples I have used:
Yummy Yummy Yummy Shower Gel:
A liquid gel you can use in the shower as a bodywash, also as a shampoo if you are in a rush.
Smells like: Sweet strawberries and cream, with a hint of freshness
What i love: The milky texture, very moisturizing and lasting smell
What i dislike: Can run out really fast
Sultana of Soap:
An amazing soap with chunks of dried cranberries and other berries
Smells like: A fruity explosion that is so so addictive
What i love: Moisturising and milky lather, smell is so strong it is amazing (that i bought the full size)
What i dislike: I wish the smell lasted on the skin
Godmother Soap:
Another sweet smelling soap, which only hints of purple glitter in it.
Smells like: discustingly (not necessarily bad) sweet, like so sweet like snow fairy
What i love: Really cute looking soap, when in the shower the smell is more washed out
What i dislike: a little too sweet, more plastic-like soap
Products i have but have not used:
Sandstone Soap:
This is a soap with grains of sand in it, that act as a mild exfoliant, how cool!
Smells like: lemons, citrus, sniffy lemon stickers
Santa's Rice Porridge Mask:
This is a mask to revive the skin, its supposed to exfoliate, tone and soften the skin
It appears to be very very thick, and hard to spread and people say its hard to wash off.
Smells like: rice, oatty, grainy with a HINT of fruit
Tips:
- They probably will tell you this but keep the masks refrigerated and remember to check the expiry date
- Cut chunks off your soap, and keep the rest in the fridge, or even take the chunks out of the shower after each use and pop them into the fridge. Next time you shower, you have a nice cold refreshing soap!
- Massage Bar should be kept in the fridge/freezer, i keep mine in the freezer cause it heats up quite fast and melts easily so keeping it there is still safe.
- Just have a big container devoted your lush products, with the wrappers in them, after use pop them into there and back in the fridge or cabinet.
- Don't be afraid to ask for samples, they are more then willing and samples really help you decide what you like and you probably will be repurchasing that item next time you go in.
- Check the websites for sales, there is a buy one get one free on xmas products at the moment
- Before you use the masks, check the ingredients you may be allergic to one of the products
PS:
This is the size of my samples in case you were wondering, lush is quite good with the sizes of their samples!
I would love to hear you favourite lush products or any suggestions!
Here is part one of my lush video/ part two will be coming soon!

Pre Xmas/ Xmas/ Boxing Day Haul
I did so much shopping even before christmas because the sales were just so crazy and irresistible. At first i felt quite guilty and afraid that i had spent too much even before boxing day, but i'm glad the boxing day sales wern't that amazing, the prices were great but the options were very limited. I lined up from 3.30am in front of Myer in the CBD, for some crazy prizes but nothing. We got on TV and got interviewed, the crazy feeling of shopping at 5am is always so much fun!

The last week or two have been crazy with christmas, holiday and anniversary celebrations. That i would have to make a hundred and one posts to fit it all. So this will be a very long and crowded post, that will definitely be picture heavy!
Two Years Anniversary:
Around 2/3 weeks ago it was my boyfriend and I's, 2 year anniversary ♥
For these big celebrations, he usually resorts to Tiffany & Co items, as its become a tradition (that i of course love) but i had no idea what they would be this time.
This is the two new things that i added to my collection:
Another classic charm for my charm bracelet (now i have two, like for 2 years!) And a silver bangle.
I love these pieces because they are like the basic classic traditional pieces that feel elegant, chic and very wearable.
I also have the ring, and the necklace, both presents from the boyfriend, from other things such as 1 year anniversary and Valentines.
I love every thing about Tiffany & Co, the packaging, the elegance, the timeless beauty that it represents. Thank you baby :)
Christmas Lunch (with friends):
Just a nice bbq, where every one brings along a platter of food to share. There was so much to eat, sausages, steak, lamb chops, honey soy wings, fairy bread, pavlova and chocolate crackles. There was a lot of eating but more more talking.
Christmas Day Celebrations:
Christmas Day is always spent with the whole family, well whoever is in Melbourne.
Again lots and lots and lots of food, and catching up. I love christmas, every one is just so happy and every thing is forgotten and sooooo much giving haha.
Dress: Ladahk
Blazer: Bardot
Thongs: Havaianas
Watch: DKNY
Hope you all had and will continue to have a great holiday, cause i know i will :)

Optional: Top Coat
Do people enjoy nail tutorials/ideas? Should i do more?

Sally Hansen French Manicure in 1 White, Revlon Base Coat, Revlon Red Carpet Optional: Top Coat
1. Apply your base coat, and allow it to dry.
2. Apply one layer of your red nail polish, possibly two layers if it is still sheer.
3. Allow a good amount of time for the red to completely dry.
4. Get your white nail polish with a thin applicator, and draw a thick diagonal line across the nail
5. Wipe off most of the product off the white nail polish applicator and draw a thin line parallel to the thick line, repeat this on the nail.
6. You can follow the same pattern on every nail or mix it up by drawing 2 or 3 thick lines as your guide.
7. If you choose to apply a top coat, allow a good 20 minutes to be 100% sure the white and red will not smudge.
The finished product :
