How does your garden grow?

Very well.

So what did people buy in the Lush sale?
I rushed there on my work break, and I wish I bought more in reflection, I was just trying to be careful, but I have a whole load of regret now:(

Also, ive been getting up at 5 every morning to Dog sit my sisters puppy, and this has meant I havent been able to ave a bath or a decent shower in tooooo long!

But... Good News! Ive been offered an interview for a permenant position in accesorize!

Where have you beenn?!

Working, full time as a Christmas temp at boots!
I loved it, and I was even put on the beauty counter which was rather a big bonus.
This unfortuantely meant that I wasted probs half of my wages , within the store as of course, I can't resist a lovely perfume or a unique nail polish.
While I had a good time, and really enjoyed myself, I picked up a few things which people may find useful when picking a perfume up for people in the future:)

If lookin for a fragrance for a older lady, there are 3 brands which have most definately stuck out.
  1. Cacharel- Amor Amor, Anais anais and Noa.
  2. Chanel no.5
  3. Estee lauder- White linen.

Second tip-

If buying for a person and your unsure whether they might like it, tell them to pop into a perfume counter and test it on themselves before they open the fragrance, as its likely most shops won't accept a return once a product is used.

Popular perfumes for teen girls-

  1. Britney Spears- Midnight fantasy and circus
  2. All of the Christina Aguilera fragrances
  3. Beyonce heat
  4. Various ghost scents

If your unsure of where a fragrance is don't be shy and not ask the assistants, the chances are they are happy to help,and might save you loads of time if they don't stock it.

And finally, usually there are offers on, so see if you can hold out on getting something if its full price, it was horrible sellinng perfumes which were once £1o and now £28

Hope this helped:)

Lush Favs!

Whilst watching various youtube videos and scouring Lush's facebook page I decided to create a Lush favourites post, choosing one variety of every product. Of course I haven't tried everything which means there are limitations to this post, but I thought it would be good to evaulate the last year in which my addiction for Lush has bloomed.

Favourite...

Bath Ballistic- Butterball
BubbleBar- Gingerbread house
Soap- Honey I washed the kids
Showergel- Snow Fairy
Shampoo- Big
Conditioner- American cream
Jelly-Whoosh
Cream- Dream cream
Facewash- Angels on bareskin
Massage bar- Strawberry fields forever
Handcream- Helping hands
Bath Melt- Mmm
Emotibomb- Up you gets

And thats about it I think, it was actually hard to wittle certain categories down, and its odd because I suppose a scent field has emerged, warm and edible type scents perhaps.

My boyfriend ended up getting me stardust btw:)

Lush Review: Matryoshka


Yes, I did buy it, I couldn't help it, it called to me, like a whisper from a lover. Ok, not that much.. but it smelled yummmy....... and I was nackered:)
It costs £9.95 which intially looks expenisve, but ive worked it out..and its not really any more expensive than any other soap.
The doll includes 195g of So white soap, and lets assume that it costs around £3 for 100g as most lush soaps are around that, thats means theres about £6 worth of soap.
Then theres the so white bath ballistic, around £2 and the cinder bath ballistic also around £2.
Which equalls £1o..ish:)
The soap is better than the bath ballistic, smells more fresh and less dust:)
Its almost creamy, not what you would expect from a fruity soap.
+
  • The soap is worth the money, as you can not purchase it any other way.
  • It is unique, not like any other lush scent.
  • The ballistics are flatter, meaning it will be easier to break.

-

  • You can't purchase the soaps any otherway.
  • The ballistics seem a bit smaller.

I would not purchase again, simply because I think its going to take me a while to use it all up, but it is definatly a good idea:)

4/5
