Primark Holler and Glow Unicorn Bath Fizzer | Review

Hey guys! I hope you all had a marvellous weekend, whatever you got up to! I spent it in typical cold season fashion, by staying indoors, in bed or wrapped up in blankets, complaining about how cold it is and how dark it's getting so early in the day! I've never felt more stereotypically British than I do in Autumn/Winter :D haha! This time of year is the perfect excuse to have lots of baths VS showers (although personally I struggle to stand up for long periods of time in the shower so baths it is for me all year round, #SpoonieProblems), which means it's also the perfect opportunity to use fun bath products! And that brings me onto today's topic! 

Back in October, I went out shopping with my mom and I picked up a few goodies from Primark, including a bath product that caught my eye because of how colourful it was! I have never tried any of the bath products by Primark, but I thought I'd give them a go considering Primark's makeup seems to have a lot of good reviews. I wanted to see if their bath products matched up to those that I have tried from other brands, and so I picked up the 'Holler and Glow' bath fizzer. I mean, how could I resist trying it out when it's so pretty!? Anyhow, I hope you all enjoy reading my review :) 

As you can see, the Holler and Glow/Rainbow Chaser bath fizzer looks amazing!! The bright colours are what first grabbed my attention, before I even realised the fizzer was shaped like a unicorn head! I am a sucker for novelty shaped things, I don't know why but they make me like a product so much more! Who else feels the same? I thought at only £2 I couldn't walk away from the product, since I was so curious about whether the colours would 'disperse' in a similar way to a bathbomb, or whether they were just to make the product look pretty. I am a big fan of bathbombs that make gorgeous bathart and I am always looking for cheaper products that do the same, because I already spend too much at Lush XD 

I have to admit that I use bathbombs a lot more than bath fizzers, and the two work a lot differently when added to water. Fizzers are usually smaller and less pricey, they don't have a very strong scent as far as I have experienced, and they don't really do much to the water after the initial reaction. They typically dissolve very quickly, making them fizz a lot, hence the name, whereas bathbombs are designed to dissolve slowly. Thus giving them time to release more colours and fragrance into the bath, and are fun to watch slowly working their magic around you as you soak! Regardless, I haven't seen many bath fizzers as colourful as this Primark one so I was very intrigued about whether we'd get more bathart than is typical for these products. 

Something that I really liked about this product, aside from the fact it looks so lovely, was the size of it! It is a chunky thing, which is another reason why I was hoping it was going to be different to a standard bath fizzer (having more space to layer up the contents inside the fizzer with colouring and oils, etc). How aesthetically pleasing is the Holler and Glow/Rainbow Chaser fizzer though!? The shape and design of it resembles an emoji so much, and I just love it!! I like to fill all areas of my life with cuteness, so I'm especially a lover of adorable bath products. I wish that more bathbombs/fizzers were designed in novelty shapes, instead of the usual spherical shape.

So, how did it work out when I used it? Did it meet my expectations? 

The answer to the latter is both yes and no! 

Like I mentioned before, I know that bath fizzers are a lot less exciting when compared to bathbombs so even though I was curious about this one in particular because of how bright it was, I was still pretty sure that that wouldn't matter, that it would still react in the same way that any bath fizzer does. When I first put it into the bath, there was a lot of colour 'bleeding' out of the fizzer, and it did look very cool! However to really see this you had to be holding the bath fizzer in your hand. It is a weighty product that would sink to the bottom of the tub and the colours coming out of it would be more muted by the time they bubbled to the surface of the water. The Holler and Glow/Rainbow Chaser dissolved pretty quickly and fizzled a lot, causing lots of bubbles as it went! I do like this about bath fizzers because it makes a change from bathbombs and when it only cost £2, it's not too bad that it didn't last very long. 

I also forgot to mention the fragrance of the bath fizzer, and that's mostly because it didn't leave a very lasting impression. It was a pleasant scent, which to me was a mixture of fruity and floral fragrances, although I couldn't pinpoint any of the specific scents. It was a little annoying that the scent wasn't written anywhere on the packaging, especially because if you don't like a particular scent, you want to be able to avoid buying products that smell of it. Like myself when it comes to Lavender! The smell didn't release any more once the product was in the water, and it did not linger so this product is designed for its look rather than its fragrance, which is not necessarily a bad thing. I know a lot of people who are very sensitive to strong fragrances and so prefer to opt for milder scented products. I think this would be a good option for them. 

It was difficult to get any decent photographs of how the bath fizzer actually looked in the water because the reactions were pretty subtle. Despite the packaging saying 'Drop the fizzer into a warm bath and watch it swirl, melt and fizz leaving a trail of unicorn magic behind', the colours that came from the fizzer were pale and cloudy rather than vibrant. To be honest, nothing much happened, but after the fizzer had completely melted, the bath water was a pale shade of purpley-blue for a while. This didn't last long at all though! 

Overall, I wasn't expecting the fizzer to do much, and my expectations were met, however it was still a fun product! I wasn't disappointed because it was not expensive and it still makes bath-time a little more interesting, which is always a bonus for me because baths are not the most easy thing to do when you have a chronic pain condition. The look of the product is gorgeous and so that made up for some of the shortcomings in performance. I do think that this product would be great for children, and would be good to gift as a stocking filler this Christmas :) I'm considering picking up some for my nieces as a little extra something. It hasn't discouraged me from trying more Primark bath products, and I'm wondering now if they sell bathbombs because I've never seen them if they do.... does anyone know if they do?

I hope you all found this post an interesting one and I'd love to hear if I made you want to try out the product for yourself. I think I'm ready for some festive bath products in my life now that it's officially Christmas Time! 

Thankyou for reading!

Lush Snow Fairy Jelly Bomb Review | Blogmas #1

Happy Friday guys! Woohoo, today officially marks the first day of Christmas for many people. including myself. It's not that I'm not excited sooner, it's just that I love Halloween and I like to leave all of my decorations up for a little longer than needed haha! The beginning of December means that it's time to get the tree and decorations up soon, to get into the festive spirit, to play your favourite Christmas songs loud and have a good sing along, and to start the hectic rush to finish gathering all of your presents to pop under the tree! (Unless you are super organised and therefore amazing! Please, give me your secret!!). I mentioned on my previous post that I would be taking part in Blogmas, a challenge where bloggers aim to share a post every single day of this month. For today's entry from me, I'm going to be sharing my thoughts on my first ever Lush jelly bomb! I picked it up a while ago and it's been so tough to hold off using it, but I wanted to celebrate the beginning of the Christmas period with a festive-themed bath. So earlier today, I gave myself some very much needed TLC and soaked for a while with the 'Snow Fairy' jelly bomb. I hope that you enjoy reading all about it! 

I was really curious about what these latest Lush creations would be like. I've had my eyes on the Snow Fairy one and also the 'Dark Arts' Harry Potter inspired one for a while now, but I just had to choose the Snow Fairy one when I was in store because it smelt seriously so good! I have been after some of Snow Fairy products for ages and I'm a little sad that they no longer sell the dusting powder of this fragrance in little bottles anymore! I thought I'd treat myself to the jelly bomb instead so I can still enjoy the scent at least :) I am a big fan of sweet smells, and the Snow Fairy bathbomb contains what the Lush website lists as 'synthetic musk' with notes of 'bubblegum' and 'candy floss' and not much else. To me, I can definitely smell the candy floss and also marshmallow, maybe even subtle hints of vanilla too. Have you ever smelt any of the Snow Fairy Lush products? If so, what would you describe it as? Essentially though, it just makes your bathroom and you smell like a sweet shop! 

The description for the Snow Fairy Jelly Bomb on the Lush website is... 'Sail away on a bubblegum sea in a boat made of candy floss and fairy dust. Get in the bath and cast this jelly bomb into the water, watching clouds of skin softening jelly swirl around you like enchanted snow drifts. Soak in the sweet pink waters and float away to Neverland'. How dreamy is that description though!? It sounds very fairytale-esque, I love it!!

Something I love about the Snow Fairy Jelly Bomb is that it's such a pretty colour! I knew that the bath art it created would be pink, but I was wowed by just how much pink there actually was! It looked fabulous and was very similar to any other Lush bathbomb to be honest. I didn't have a clue what the Jelly element would be in this bath product range, and I was actually a little nervous that it would create a layer of weird, smile-like stuff on top of the water. Not because I don't want to play in jelly because that sounds super fun, it's just that my OCD has always caused me to dislike the feel of certain textures, and it would be too late to do much about it once I'd gotten into the water... other than get out of course, but I wanted a relaxing bath so it would have sucked to have to go through the whole filling-up-the-bath process again. 

I hadn't read the description on the Lush product page before using the Jelly Bomb so it was a surprise for me to discover that there wasn't too much Jelly at all inside these bathbombs, and as the Snow Fairy dissolved, it left a few bright pink 'blobs' around the top of the water. On one hand, I am happy about that because of what I mentioned about my concern over the texture, but it could also have been disappointing for someone else using the product expecting lots of jelly to play about in. I did think that there was going to be more myself! One thing that I really liked about this Jelly Bomb thought was that when all of the little bits of jelly had fizzled away, what was left was bath water with a lovely, silky smooth texture to it that actually felt really nice on my skin. I really liked this about the product and it's made me want to try another! Anyhow, I think it's about time that I showed you the bath art that the Snow Fairy Jelly Bomb creates... 

Just as the Lush website described there was certainly a 'cloud' effect with all of the swirls of white. The little pink specs that you can see, especially in the photograph above are jelly, all of the darker hot-pink coloured things are jelly and the rest of the pink is just like the colouration that you get from a standard Lush bathbomb. It made a gorgeous-looking bath that's for sure, and after all of the 'art' had faded away, you were left with pink water which is always wonderful. I didn't get any photographs of that stage because my bathroom was filling up with steam making it difficult to get clear photographs, plus I didn't want to end up damaging my camera. 

In my opinion, the Snow Fairy jelly bath bomb does live up to it's description, all of those swirly pale and dark pink patterns with whirls of 'fluffy' white to make me think of candy mountains and sweet-filled wonderlands, which I would definitely feature in my own Neverland fairytale. My fabulous friend Aaron describes the bath art as looking like 'raspberry ripple ice-cream' and it totally does!

The jelly aspect was an interesting experience and I now want to try some other Jelly Bombs to see how they compare. I love the smell so so much! It lasted for a very long time in the bathroom, and it left my skin smelling yummy! It had me wishing that Lush made candles because I neeeed this fragrance around me at all times :) 

I'm going to have to buy another of these to stock up for after the Christmas season because it's lovely and I'm kind of sad that mine has now gone, even though I had a lovely bath, ft. snowflake cookie Yankee Candles, plus vanilla and macadamia body wash that smells heavenly! It was all about the fantastic fragrances this bath time for me, haha! I hope you've all enjoyed reading :) Please do let me know if I've made you want to try this product for yourselves! 

Thankyou for reading!

Makeup Revolution Halloween Products | Review

Hey lovelies! If you've been following my most recent posts, you may have noticed that I've been using some new makeup for the creation of my Halloween looks this year. In early October when I was browsing around for Christmas gift ideas and was on the hunt for some new darker nail polish shades, I came across the recent Halloween releases from the brand Makeup Revolution. I thought I'd give them a try, because I really like my eyeshadow palettes from the brand, and I also definitely like the price! Makeup Revolutuon is available at drugstores, like Superdrug, and has some great prices compared with other brands. This certainly doesn't mean that they are not the best quality, as I personally think that their eyeshadow is awesome and super pigmented! So anyhow, I thought I'd share a little review of the products from this new Halloween range that I picked up. I'm sad that this will be the last Halloweeny-themed post of the year for me T_T *cry cry*. 

I was really happy with all of the products that I bought! I thought that it was fantastic too that my entire haul only cost me £14. All of the items had lovely presentation and packaging. Some of them were so pretty that I almost didn't want to use them! I mean, just look at the skull on top of the powder in the photo above! Isn't it fabulous!? The products that I got include: the Ghost Powder, the SFX Spectre palette, the Ghost Lights Highlighter, and the SFX Liquid Latex. Keep reading to find out more about them :) 

First of all, how flippin' adorable is that ghost 'print'!? I really loved this little addition to the presentation! I love how pristine and bright the Ghost Powder is. There's even a little compartment to keep the application sponge in. Additionally, on the back of the case, there's mirror, so that's really handy for when you're out and about. The powder itself isn't very pigmented, and didn't show up too well on top of my base makeup like other white powders I've used in the past do, however for only £3 it made your face pale enough to create an awesome ghosty complexion. I had to re-apply it a few times but that's not too much of a problem. Having pale skin, I usually always apply a white powder over the top of my concealer and foundation, and I'll happily keep using this until I can replace my usual pressed powder by Manic Panic. 

This SFX Spectre Face Paint Palette was a massive upgrade from my usual cheap face paint from the Poundstore, the kind that you can barely see and have to layer over and over again to get a decent colouration! I wasn't sure what to expect and was a little worried that it would just be like the other face paints I've tried before. However, I was pleasantly surprised by just how great this palette was! Maybe it's because I've only ever used the £1 stuff so I have nothing else to compare it to, but it was super pigmented and bold. 

I didn't know that you got eight different shades of paint so I was delighted with that! I removed the little plastic sheet that protects the paints for the photograph, but on it are the various names for each one. They are named after the special effects they help create: skin trauma, contour, bruise, fresh blood, vein, aged blood and the middle two are just listed as plain old black & white. I like how you get more black and white paint which are often used for larger areas in Halloween makeup designs, such as an entire white face or big black circles around the eyes. But I wish that you got more of the fresh and aged blood colours, since they are going to be used a lot too to create most spooky looks. 

The pigment for these face paints is so strong as it is made specifically for special effects makeup and can be applied on top of liquid latex and the wax that is needed for making gory, realistic horror makeup art. I found that it applied on top of the Makeup Revolution liquid latex so well, and I can't wait to see how it works with a more advanced look. I used the two red shades mostly when creating my Creepy Clown look (oh and a little of the light brown 'contour' paint), and I loved the difference between the two bloods. The 'aged blood' was a colour similar to crimson, almost burgundy when it dried, and the 'fresh blood' was a vibrant shade that I can only describe as cherry red. I'd very much recommend this product and I'm looking forward to using it again next Halloween!

This Ghost Lights Highlighter powder was my favourite product of the bunch. It is a lovely shimmery pearlescent cream/white colour, and I love how shiny it looks when you tint the case. The skull on top is rised too, versus the flat ghost on the Ghost Powder, which makes it look even more eye-catching! I really considered not using it or buying another just to keep and never use it! This powder didn't know with a sponge or anything to apply it with and the case doesn't include a mirror, but it still very nice packaging nonetheless. It looks super professional, and I was certainly impressed with my first ever highlighter. 

I have been wanting to experiment with highlighter for a while but I just didn't know where to start. With this Makeup Revolution one only being £3, it was a great first product to practice with! It's not very bright but maybe this is because I didn't apply too much, I still need to have a play around with it. Although, if it turns out to not be very strong, that's okay since it will be great for everyday use then. I saw this product around on instagram a lot throughout October so it seems to be popular! Have you used it? If so, I'd love to hear what you thought of it in the comments. 

The final product that I tried was the SFX Liquid Latex, but to be honest I didn't use it to it's full potential. If you read all about my Creepy Clown makeup that I did on Monday, you'll know that I forgot to buy some wax. I wanted to create a 'Chelsea smile', a big  smiley gash across either side of my mouth, but my attempt at making my own homemade wax didn't go to plan and so I had to improvise. Therefore, I didn't use much of the liquid latex, but I still used enough to be able to let you know what my first impressions were. 

For only £2, I think you get so much product! You'd probably be able to create an entire look and still have some left over just by looking at how much liquid latex you get in the tube. I might try to find another bottle so I can stock up for next year (it's no longer available on the Superdrug website but it might still be for sale in stores). Just a tip: standard fake blood won't apply on top of the dried latex. I didn't realise this, so I should have purchased the matching Makeup Revolution SFX fake blood too. The liquid latex did it's job though; I experimented with the peeling effect as I was removing my makeup, and it looked very cool. Almost like I was tearing off my actual skin, haha! Something that I didn't like about this product is how strong the smell was, and it made my eyes water and sting a little even though I was painting it on near my mouth. I don't know if all liquid latex is like this though. Does anyone else know? I'll let you know next year anyway guys! 

Overall, I'm super happy with my Makeup Revolution halloween range haul, and I wish now that I'd also purchased some of the other makeup just to try them out. I didn't buy the 'Dark Reign' eyeshadow palette because I wasn't too impressed by the shades available. They weren't screaming Halloween makeup at me, and I have similar colours in the palettes I already own. I expected it to be filled with the colours associated with Halloween, such as bright slime green and some dark blood-red shades. I love the products I did get though, and I hope you enjoyed reading about them :) You can still buy the Ghost Powder and the Ghost Lights Highlighter on the Superdrug website by the way!

Thankyou for reading!

Lush Monsters' Ball Bath Bomb | Review

Hello lovelies! I realised the other day that apart from my weekly Spoopy Unboxings, I hadn't shared any further Halloween themed posts with you all yet this October. Last year, I took part in Blogtober (sharing a post every day!), so it feels a little strange that this year my blog has not been filled with spooky topics so far this month! I am determined to change that during these last few days leading up to Halloween. Omgosh, Halloween is so close now! I wanted to start off by sharing with you all my thoughts on one of the bathbombs from Lush's Halloween range. I included Monsters' Ball in the Lush Halloween haul that I posted last October, so this time around I wanted to talk more about what it's actually like! I hope you enjoy reading, and let me know which Lush Halloween products you've used before in the comments :) 

Upon first sight, this bathbomb definitely screams Halloween! It's so eye-catching with it's bold colouration and the singular big eye right in the centre of it's face. Plus it's so spoopy! I love how cute it looks, and the bright purpley-pink and blue shades make you instantly know that this bathbomb is going to create some gorgeous bath art. That's one of the reasons, if not the main reason, that Lush is my go-to for bathbombs... because of all that glorious bath art that some of their range create when added to your bath. I was very impressed with this bathbomb last year and so I couldn't not get another! I just adore Lush's festive releases, and I look forward to finding out if there's anything new available each year. Although, that doesn't mean that I don't like the classics like Monsters' Ball because well there's a reason why they keep coming back! 

Just look how awesome this guy looks!? Monsters' Ball is certainly a photogenic bathbomb! Being really pretty though isn't the only thing that makes me enjoy this bathbomb so much though. It smells amazing, in my opinion! However I'm probably biased because I'm a big fan of citrus scents. They are really refreshing and I love the way my skin smells even after I've gotten out of the bath and dried myself off. The description on the Lush website for Monsters' Ball is... 'Eye spy with this little eye something beginning with BOO! This monster mash-up of lime and neroli oils is a sure fire way to get the party started. Toss into a hot bath and watch it go. Olibanum oil relaxes and leaves you feelin' Franken-fine all night long'. First of all, how bloody brilliant is that description!? I love the introductory line! I'm also gonna keep saying I'm feelin Franken-fine all night on Halloween XD 

So, I won't keep you all waiting any longer! Here are some photographs of how epic your bath will look once you've added a Monsters' Ball bathbomb in there! 

Look how gorgeous the colours that fill your bath are!! 

Because it had been so long since I'd used my first Monsters' Ball bathbomb, even I got a lovely surprise! I couldn't remember just how amazing the bath art this product made was! I'm always impressed with how the colours spread through the water with Lush bathbombs, no matter how many times I've used them. I buy the 'Intergalactic' one all the time as it's my favourite from their year-round products, and yet I am still fascinated each and every time I watch it swirl across the surface of the water, and as I see all of the colours expanding throughout the bathtub.

With the Monsters' Ball, you first see a mix of different shades of pink, both light and dark, as well as a little blue from the ears? of the Monster. It's one of those bathbombs that starts dissolving pretty fast so it isn't long before the colours trapped inside the centre of the product are released, and then your water is filled with a vibrant blue! You are left with an array of colours, blue, white and pink that remind me more of a sci-fi scene than a Halloween one. Maybe it should be called Aliens' Ball instead! 

I've also included this collage from my phone to give you a better look at the whole bath :)

I totally forgot to get a photograph of the water after all of the bath art had fizzled away, but you can sort of see the colour in the photograph above. The water remained the most gorgeous shade of purple with little bits of glitter floating around. This shade was so so nice, and was that shade of purple that is always associated with Halloween, if that makes sense! There's always lots of decorations in this purple shade, and I absolutely love it! It made me feel like I was sitting in a tub of witches brew or something, haha! I always find that with Lush bathbombs, the water colour stays strong throughout, despite me adding shampoo, condition and bodywash into it, which is fabulous!

Overall, I think this bathbomb is fantastic and it's one of those seasonal products that I wish were available to buy all year. I'm going to be stocking up on a few of them whilst they are still available, that's for sure! Have you ever used this bathbomb before? I'd love to hear what your personal opinions of it are! If not, has my post encouraged you to go buy one for yourself? I hope so! I'd definitely recommend it :) You can find them here.

Thankyou for reading!

Bomb Cosmetics 'Pool Party' Bathbomb | Review

Hi lovelies! I was over the moon the other day when my sister surprised me with a new bathbomb; thanks Nicole! She bought me the super adorable 'Pool Party' bathbomb from Bomb Cosmetics. I absolutely Bomb Cosmetics; they make such  pretty bathbombs which they call 'Bath Blasters', and bathmelts too plus an array of other products. Read about my last haul from them here. I really enjoyed the 'Pool Party' bathbomb! It might be one of my favourite bathbombs ever so I just had to share a review of it for you all. Enjoy! 

I want to start off by saying how much I LOVE the design of this bathbomb! It's sooooo cute. The little duck on top is actually made of plastic so you get a free duckie that is left floating in your bath after the bathbomb dissolves away. I think this is such a sweet idea! One of the reasons why I love Bomb Cosmetics products, mostly their bathbombs since I am a big fan of bathbombs vs other bath products, is because of how lovely their designs are. They are colourful and it just looks like there's a lot of thought been put into the presentation. Many of their bathbombs are food-themed, so they have products that are decorated to resemble cupcakes or desserts. I like that the white 'cream' on top of the 'Pool Party' bathbomb reminds me of a cake. 

Another thing that I really like about Bomb Cosmetics bathbomb is that they all come individually wrapped in plastic, which makes them easy to store and transport without getting bathbomb powder everywhere! I don't know about you, but I get this powder everywhere! Haha, I have it all over the bottom of my designated bath products drawer. Oops! The plastic wrapping does make it difficult to smell the bathbombs if you are buying them in a store, and the packaging doesn't tell you what scent to exact by listing the ingredients, etc. This isn't really a problem for me because I usually buy them online, and the website includes a description for each item. 

For the Pool Party Bath Blaster, the website states 'Time for a paddle at the Pool Party! Splash around with scents of Fresh Cotton and Lavender pure essential oils, the fun has only just begun!'.

I didn't expect to like the scent of this bathbomb to be honest when I researched the ingredients on the website, because I'm really not a fan of lavender. However, it turned out to be a really mild scent when mixed with the other ingredients so I could barely make out the lavender fragrance. It actually smelt really nice and refreshing, so it made my bath even more relaxing. It would be a perfect scent for someone who doesn't enjoy strong fruity or floral bathbombs. 

I was really curious about the colour that this bathbomb would make the water change to. I'd had bathbombs before that I was sure would make the bath a strong colour based on the colouration of the product itself, but it either turned the water a different colour to what I expected or didn't 'stain' the water much at all. It always sucks when that happens, and as much as I love Bomb Cosmetics bathbombs and will keep buying them, a lot of their bathbombs don't do much to the water in turns of colour once they have dissolved or make any pretty bath art like you see with Lush bathbombs for example. 

I was very happy to discover that the 'Pool Party' bathbomb turned the water such a strong and gorgeous shade of blue. It was so nice! It make me think of the blue lagoon I saw when I was on holiday on the Island of Corfu. The white 'cream' on top of the bath bomb swirled around the water and then settled on top, which looked lovely when combined with the blue. 

Just look at that shade of blue! It's so beautiful! The scent filled the room too and it was awesome. I was in the bath for a little over an hour and am very happy to report that the colour stayed strong despite having mix in shampoo, condition and body wash into the water. The colour only faded slightly and the scent lasted a long time too. I felt very mermaidy soaking in this bath! I've never had a Bomb Cosmetics bathbomb that made the bath change to such a strong colour, so I will definitely be buying this one again.

Something else that was great about this particular bathbomb was that it didn't leave my skin feeling creamy afterwards. With other Bomb Cosmetics products, I have found that the water feels creamy and whatever the ingredient is that causes this settles on my skin and makes it feel like that too. This might not be a problem for others, but I didn't like it. This one didn't do that. The only thing it left on my skin was a lovely scent :) 

Overall, this bathbomb has made it to my top five; I love it. I'm gonna end up making a little army of rubber ducks! You can buy one for yourself over on the website.I hope you all enjoyed reading my review. Are you a fan of Bomb Cosmetics? If so, let me know your favourite product in the comments.

July Wishlist

Hi lovelies! Wow, can you believe that it's already August!? What even...this year is going ridiculously fast! July had an awesome ending for me, as I went to Manchester Comic Con with my best friend and had a wonderful time. I was absolutely exhausted afterwards though from walking around all day and just dealing with all the anxiety that comes with going out. So, I needed a few days to recover, and that is why my July wishlist is late. Oops! I hope that you all enjoy reading & check back tomorrow if you want to see what I bought at Comic Con. Have a lovely week everyone! 

1. Boohoo Plus Retro Print Smock Dress This dress really caught my eye because I've been looking for black dresses that have a colourful print on, as I want to brighten up my wardrobe for summer. I have a lot of floral patterned clothing so I thought this 'retro' print was something different, and I've never worn a smock dress before either. It will be interesting to see if I suit them! 

2. Turquoise Floral Sneakers Talking about foral prints, I really do love them! So, these sneakers from Lindy Bop are perfect for me. I really like the colour turquoise too and these look lovely and summery. Even better... they are only £15 in the sale right now :) 

3. Laser Cut Leopard Gecko Statement Necklace I saw this beautiful necklace at Manchester Comic Con this weekend on the stall of Birch, Please! (How cool is that name!? haha). They had such gorgeous wooden jewellery and I really regret not buying this leopard gecko necklace. Leopard geckos will always have a secret place in my heart, and I love how detailed and realistic this necklace is! 

4. Lime Crime Matte Velvetine Liquid Lipstick I am yet to try any products by Lime Crime and I'd love to start with a lipstick from the Velvetine Collection. There are so many really gorgeous shades to choose from and the ones that stand out the most to me are 'Bloodmoon', 'Fetish' and 'Saint'. I really want to experiment with more brands of liquid lipstick. Have you ever tried these? 

5. The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood After recently watching the new series adaptation of the Handmaid's Tale (which I seriously recommend if you enjoy dystopian stories), I have a mighty need to read the book. If you saw my Summer Bucketlist post, you'll know that I want to read five new books this season and I would love this to be the first. 

6. Mustard 'Froot' Notebooks This set of fruity-themed notebooks is so cute! I love the design of the covers and I'm a sucker for cute stationery so I would really like to add these to my already massive notebook collection because how can I resist!? My favourite is definitely the kiwi one. How about you?

7. George at ASDA Unicorn Duvet Cover ASDA make some of the most wonderful bedding ever! They are forever impressing me with their pretty and adorable prints, and they've done it again with this unicorn bedding. Just look at how lovely it is! I think the shade of blue they've chosen is so nice and the unicorns are really pretty with their pink manes and tails. Very soon, I will be getting a double bed again (hooray!) and I would love for this one to be the first duvet that goes on it. 

8. My Little Pony Top & Bottoms Pyjama Set Other than the awesome range of PJ's that Primark has been releasing this year, I find it really hard to find super cute PJ designs in plus sizes so when I spotted these on Yours Clothing, I was over the moon! These PJ's look so comfy and I'm lovin' that the pants have those 'cuffs' at the bottom because being only 5'2'', pants always end up being too long for me and it's really annoying. These cuffs mean that I won't be tripping over my own pants! I need these PJs! 

Thankyou for reading!
