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:)

EEP!

My boyfriend, had bought me lush for Chrimbo!
I was already aware that he was buying me some Snow fairy, which resulted in him telling me because he was pleased with himself:) 500G!
Then he let it slip that he got me a gift. Then, that it was £20-£30. So off i trawled to the lush times and the only ones which didnt have blackcurrenty things and the Olive branch(which he knows I don't like) where Truly Scrumptious and Stardust.
He asked me to say my favs and it has been confirmed it is one of the above! Eep!
This is my first proper beast of a gift from lush. I secretly hope its Stardust as it has Iced Wine, Lip dip, suger plum fairy scrub and twlight which i havent tried and i want to, and has snow fairy, angel delight and candy cane, all of which i like:) CROSS FINGERS:)

Busy Bee...BUZZ!

Good news my fellow bloggers, I am in the middle currently of three interviews!
Ive been applying for jobs since September with literally no luck. Unfortunatly I decided that during 6thform I wouldn't get a job, which woud give me a better chance of getting a better grade. This meant I had only school work experience. Few employers gave me a chance and so I sent out a bajillion CV's across the city in which I live.

I got 3 interviews.

I know this does not seem much, but Im so pleased people are giving me a chance. I can't wait to have a wage and spend it all on clothes and LUSH!

Ive already had one today, and now im waiting in for the next, unfortuantly, one was in the city centre, and the other in the complete opposite direction.

I also got some wellies! Ive been taking lots of Ootd's recently and im sure the wellies which feature soon.

Random Ramble Sunday

I thought the best way to describe my weekend, was to insert a couple of drunken pics.

At the time I considered myself to be sober, I was wrong..

As a recent addition to the alcoholic consumption market I find that I often don't realise how drunk I am, until the next day, when I see the pics and have a lovely day where I feel like I could be sick at any moment. YUM!

I also find that people don't understand that it is a whole new world for me. Although I am 19 next month, I didnt venture out of my comfort zone, or consume more than one unit of alcohol until August,making me still a novice. I like having a leiant curfew because that means I am able to go home at a reasonable time without being pressured to stay.

Last night I didn't have a time to be in , thus I was pressured into staying, longer than I ever wanted. No one likes the be the party pooper.

But I got home safe, so thats all that matters. I have found however that I shouldn't drink vodka anymore and that I need to not care what people think, and stand up for what I believe in.

P.S As a poor young lady I decided that I needed to cut down abit on expenditures. For nearly 2 years I used Revlon Colourstay as my foundation and at £12 , it was definatly not cheap. It was also a bit pink for me, which make me look ghostly white in photos and I took comfort in wearing scarfs, just in case my face didnt match my chest. I then moved on to a old favourite in Dream matte Mousse and although I liked it, if i touched my face it would come off and I looked too matte. Plus, it was still £8. A saving but not a massive one.

I then bought another old favourite Rimmel Lasting Finish. This was the first foundation I ever bought and i remembered why I used it for 2 years. it covers well, looks reasonably natural and costs only £6.12 in boots. It matchs my neck as you can see by pics and im chuffed:) Im going to go to boots tommorw and definatly stock up, if the 3 for 2 offer in on that is:)

Ramble Scramble Monday

Everyone and there mums have some kind of weekly summary and I think they are really interesting so Im jumping on the already spilling-over-full wagon and join in:)

• Im getting back into doing work , with overall productiveness reasonably high.
• Im super dooper loving the warm headband things which are roaming around now. I found one in Primark for £1.50 and its hardly left my head. It means I dont have to sort my fringe out and my ears are nice and warm:)
• I sent out 20 + newly reformed and beautiful CVs a couple of days ago, so hopefully I will hear something back from them soon.. funds are super low.
• With my christmas money I bought posssibly the nicest shoes ever! I know its early for Christmas money, but I get it early cs ive got my birthday money for after Christmas. There high shoes but boots, perfect for winter but they won't get an outing until the big day!
• Its rudddy cold! Crazzzzzy!
