Lush Christmas Eve Review

This adorable half moon half sky bubble bar was just £2.95 in the Lush Christmas range and I couldn't wait to try it. It had a really nice floral scent which surprised me as it was quite a bright bubble bar I was expecting something a bit different but it was a lovely bubble bar.

It is quite a large so you can get more then one bath out of it, I found it created bubbles quite quickly and started working straight away which was fantastic. It also left my skin feeling really soft and moisturised after which was great. The bath water also went a really nice greenish colour which you can kind of just see through the bubbles!

I really enjoyed using this bubble bar and can't wait to repurchase next Christmas, did you pick this bubble bar up what did you think of it?

Lip Smacker Review

This month has taken a toll on my lips making them chapped and sore so I was after a new lip balm so I was excited to receive Lip Smacker as one of my Christmas present's. It's a brand I have heard of before but never got round to buying or even seeing in the shops so I was surprised to get them as a gift. The set I got was the Coca-Cola set which includes six lip balms all different flavours.

The set included Coca-Cola, Coca-Cola Vanilla, Coca-Cola Cherry, Sprite, Fanta Orange and Fanta Strawberry. I was really surprised as all the lip balms smelt like the actually drinks which was great. They go on really well and are quite moisturising, they last for around two hours before the need to reapply. I was quite happy with this gift and was really pleased to get it.

The set's cost around £12 but you can get them individually for around £3, I've heard they are in Claires but I'm yet to take a look as it's not a shop I go in.

My Trip To Paris!

Paris was fantastic I had such a lovely time and had loads of fun, I stayed for 4 nights in a Hotel called Boisserie which was quite cheap at £160 for the 4 nights but it was a great little hotel the staff all spoke English and were extremely helpful. I also used the Eurostar to get there as it only cost £66 it was an ok train and ok journey it's not really something I would brag about but it got me there and back!

I visited a lot of places while I was there the Sacre Coeur and the Saint Chapelle were amazing, I got around using the Hop on Hop of bus tour from a site called Insago which offered two days for only £26 which I thought was a bargain as it was a great tour covering all the well known areas as well as travelling to the less popular areas, they also offer a Disneyland Paris deal at only £54 for ticket and travel there!

On my last day there I went shopping! I started by visiting there two main shopping centres which are Printemps and Galleries Lafayette were there was a lot of designer shops and a few sales on. I loved the top floor on the Galleries Lafayette which gave you an amazing view on the city. I also visited a few Pharmacies and picked up a few bits, I decided to leave walking down the Champs Elysees last as I knew there was a few stores I wanted to visit like Sephora, the main one is so busy and jam packed so I wasn't able to look at a few things but I did visit another one as there are loads in the city.

The few things I didn't like were the tramps as there are loads!, the guards or police as they walk around with machine guns which made me extremely nervous and lastly the men of Paris there is no need to phlegm, spit, pull your trousers up and adjust yourself, pick your nose and stare at us women!

So I had loads of fun and would most certainly go back in the future as it's cheap and cheerful there, I will post a post soon on all the goodies I brought while out there and soon I'll be hosting a Paris Giveaway!

#BloggersWLW Week One

Hello this is a scheduled post so hopefully it goes up properly as I'm currently in Paris! I'm currently in a Bloggers Weight Loss group and every Wednesday we post on our accounts and today in the first ever blog post for me!

My top tip in losing weight would be to be realistic. It may be on odd one but in the past I've been caught up in some mad diets that I thought were perfect for me but turned out quite dangerous. Like the ones which make you starve yourself either for a day or more than 24 hours, this is doing nothing good for your body or your brain.

The best diet I have tried in the past has been the eat three healthy meals a day diet, a nice simple only eat 1500 calories a day diet. I lost a few pounds a week and then slowly starting eating the wrong foods again, so another top tip try to stay motivated (something I lack).

Lastly my third finally tip is to stay focus on what your goals are, it's easy to read a blog post and think wow I would love to do that and then go off track on what you are actually trying to achieve. So keep a diary or try to remind yourself daily why you are dieting and what your goals are.

I hope these top tips are helpful and you are doing well on your first week of dieting!

Soap and Glory Sexy Mother Puckers Review

I usually only ever buy or look at Soap and Glory's bath and shower range but I was given a Mother Pucker set at Christmas and was eager to try them out. I was extremely impressed with the three I got as well as loving the adorable tin they came in.

Fuchsia-Ristic
This one looks quite bright and almost has a glow in the dark look about it but once applied I was rather happy. It comes out as a light pink with a lovely gloss finish, it does have a sticky feel but it's not to bad. Over all I think this one is perfect for summer or day trips out.

Nudist
As you can tell by the name this one is quite nude and almost sheer but it does have a nice caramel hint to it, I'm not to keen on nude lipsticks or gloss sticks but this once wasn't to bad and I found I could wear it for days or nights out quite easily.

Plum Jam
I adore the name for this gloss stick, it's a really nice deep autumnal shade with a lovely gloss finish. I found this once seemed to last longer then the other two and wasn't as sticky so it worked quite well as an evening out lip shade.

I would highly recommend this product as it's great value for money at £8, whereas one Mother Pucker on it's own comes in at £8 so while they're still available I would snap up the set!

Jelly Belly Eau De Toilette Review

My current addiction right now is roller ball perfumes, a while ago I was browsing blogs and came across a post about Zara Roller balls and thought it was a brilliant idea for travelling so of I went and came away with two perfumes. So I was really excited to receive a set for Christmas but then was equally surprised to see who the brand was Jelly Belly! Yes the little sweets that come in all sort's of flavours!

The scent I received were Cappuccino, Strawberry Jam, Blueberry, Raspberry, French Vanilla and Chocolate Pudding. Some of the scent's I was really happy to try other's I was a bit worried to try as I'm not sure walking around smelling of Chocolate Pudding would do me any favours! As suspected all the scents were great apart from Cappuccino and Chocolate Pudding but this was only because the scents were so accurate that I was really put of wearing them.

The fruit scented ones and French Vanilla are fantastic the scent is so accurate and spot on it makes it a great product, as well as coming in rather cute packaging these four are perfect!

As these were a gift I'm not sure on the price and unfortunately I can't find them online so sorry I can't provide a price or were to buy them.
