LUSH: Let the good times roll review

Hello lovely readers,

I was looking through my blog and realised that i haven't put a review up in quite a while so thought id write about a lush product that i'm absolutely loving  at the moment, the 'let the good times roll' facial cleanser. I ran out of face wash and was on a hunt for a new one because i always like to try out new products to see if they will improve my strange skin. I have sensitive, combination skin (dry in some places oily in others) that gets spotty, so its a bit all over the place. I picked up this cleanser in the shop and thought it sounded quite nice from the description. I was contemplating buying it then i smelt the tester pot and was sold. My boyfriend even uses it sometimes because he cant resist the lovely sweet scent. It smells SO GOOD, It actually smells like you could eat it (but i wouldn't recommend that!) 

I love lush products so i didn't expect to be disappointed and i certainly wasn't. It is great because i like to use face scrubs to get all of the flakey dry skin off my face, but because my face is quite sensitive the usual face scrubs are often too abrasive and hash for me, but this one is perfect. The texture is quite like mushy sand so it exfoliates whilst being gentle. the product is quite thick so on the tub it recommends mixing a lump of it with warm water before applying it to your face and this makes it a lot easier to apply. The texture is quite weird but nice at the same time, Its hard to describe but i rather like it. The other thing that i LOVE about this product is the way it makes your face feel clean but still moisturised after using it. Most face washes make my face feel stripped of all moisture after using them but this product makes my skin feel lovely. As for my spots i wouldn't say that it has dramatically improved them but it has improved the dry patches that i get so i cant complain really.

So i would say that apart from me wanting to eat my face every time i use it, i cant fault it at all. I would definitely recommend this to any one looking for a scrummy smelling, exfoliating, moisturising face cleanser. The price is also great because the product lasts quite a while, and you can use it all over your body if you wanted too. Although i wouldn't recommend getting a big tub unless you share with someone else because as most, if not all lush products have a use by date and it will probably go off before you finish it. Hope you enjoyed this little review.

First impressions: Tanya Burr lip gloss and nails collection

Hello lovely readers,

This post is long overdue as i received the products that i am going to write about a few weeks ago now. oopsy i do apologise, so yeah lets dive right in.When i found out that Tanya Burr had brought out her own range of makeup products i was really exited as i have been watching her videos on youtube for quite a while now. I ordered one product from each of her collections, so one nail polish and one lip-gloss. I ordered them straight away because i had been waiting a long time for her products to become available. i got them from Feel Unique as that's the only place that they are currently available. I didn't mind ordering them straight off line too much but with makeup i usually like to look at them in person first just to make sure because a lot of the time things photograph differently to what they look like in person. So yeah i'd never ordered from this website before and i must say i was so suppressed because they came in such a lovely little box, so well done to them for that!

Ill talk about the lip-gloss first. I was then surprised once again after opening the box as the lip-gloss had its own little packaging, I thought it would just be loose in the box. To be honest i'm not usually fond of products having more packaging than necessary, but the sleeve that it came in was very informative about the product and it did look quite sleek and nice so ill let this one off.

So i ordered the colour 'afternoon tea' because i have been looking for a quite neutral pinky lip-gloss for quite a while now so this was a perfect choice for me. And may i just say all of the products in her line have adorable names so i may have also been slightly swayed by the name. The colour does look really similar to what it did on line so i was super happy about that. The applicator is a little bit different to a normal doe foot applicator as it is more flat but it is really nice and easy to use. The colour is really pretty on and highly pigmented. It does feel a little bit thick and gloopy on but i don't mind because that makes it feel like it will last longer. I have horrible dry patchy lips so lip colour usually never stays on and hopefully this one will. Heres what the product looks like on, excuse my disastrous lips and spotty chinplease.

Now on to the nail polish. I decided to order the colour 'Midnight Sparkles' because it looked so pretty on the picture and i am partial to a bit of glitter in my nail varnish. It also looks exactly like it does online so that was great! The bottle is nothing special but it is a nice size and its definitely functional. I don't mind that the bottle has no thrills because i love the product. One thing i will say though is that it looks a lot more sparkly in the bottle than it does on your nails. Despite that it is really pretty on, as at a glance it just looks like a lovely deep purple but at a closer look you can see the bits of sparkle. I like that because it will work for every day but it still adds a bit of glam for a night out.

Overall i really like the products from Tanya Burr although i feel they are slightly overpriced but hopefully if the products become successful enough they might lower in price. I am loving these two products and i look forward to trying out more in the future.

I hope this helped out if you are trying to decide weather to try her products out. I definitely recommend you do, and if you don't know who Tanya Burr is and you like makeup why not give some of her videos on her youtube channel a watch by clicking here
