L-R
Sweet Pea, Big Apple, Sugar Almond.
All have a pearl effect.

Sweet Pea, a lovely shimmer lilac, 3 coats. It's not streaky just a tad on the pail side.

Sugar Almond a lovely pale pink only needed 2 coats.

Big Apple a gorgeous red with shimmer, looks a lot like an Essie one I had back in 2013. Only 2 coats needed for this one.

These go on smoothly, last about 3 days before they chip.

Winter skin savers

So my lips have been badly dry chapped & peeling but I've found two products that have really saved them, a primark vanilla Caramel lip balm & Palmers dark chocolate & mint lip balm. Both in just a 7 hours with repeated application alternating between the two, my lips appear to be softer & smoother, no cracks or peeling.

Moving on I've had a few spots try &  appear on my face around my chin in the past two weeks. Before the bright red spots could pop out & cause greif with them being covered by concealer amongst other things I'd use an exfoliator sample I got out my boots no7 advent calendar.

This little beaut has saved me the trouble just this & my nip+fab glycolic fix cleanser which I've been using for 2 years. I haven't used a face mask in weeks due to my favourite not being on offer. This stuff is creamy & doesn't dry out my already dry sensitive skin. I will be purchasing the full size in the new year when this sample size runs out.

Now on to moisturisers as I said I have dry sensitive skin I've found a serum I use right after I cleanse & exfoliate it doesn't cost a bomb either. From the superdrug vitamin E range.

This is light & quiet moisturising, it costs just £3.99 this is much better than the one from their simply pure range coming in at £2.69 it did nothing for my skin. My night cream I'm not sure how much it cost my mom picked it up in aldi so I'd say around £5 if not less. It's lovely & thick, I put it on before I get into bed.

I'm not one for spending loads on expensive stuff I'd much rather stick with things under £10 if you look in the right place you can always get a good deal.

The boots No.7 advent calendar

I brought it online & even though I'm only on day 10 I love everything I have so far. I brought it to try some new things & no.7. My best friend nat isn't one for Christmas and all the joys of it hence why she brought it & opened it all on the same day. She loved everything but like me so far, I've had trouble getting a few of the products out an eye-shadow, lip gloss & nail polish, I had to practically fight with the box to get these things out. I broke a nail not good :( takes ages for mine to grow.

All in all I'd buy it again next year. £38 for 25 days. That's a good deal in my book.

Storage

IKEA set of 6 draws I don't have much make up but needed a decent easy way to store my make up.

These cost me £15 I painted them they were unpainted when I got them.

My collection isn't very big but this keeps it all organised. It's simple & easy to paint or decorate however you wish, draws are quite deep & a much better option than those acrylic draws. IKEA do a smaller 4 draw for £10 & a bigger one with 2 draws at the top, 3 in the middle & a large draw at the bottom for £18.

This wooden box was £5 I use it to keep things I most often reach for. My computer is in my room so ile watch Netflix while I take off my nail polish, or YouTube if I'm drying my hair.

Lush x

Lush shop

So i ordered some stuff from lush.co.uk any way my order contained the following -

• Ma Bar - Bubble Bar
• Porridge Soap
• The Godmother Soap
• The Blonde - Shampoo Bar
• Lemsip - Soap

I also asked for samples of -

• Handy Guru
• Miranda Soap
• Sexy Peel Soap
• Ice Blue Soap
• Whoosh - Shower Jelly
• Happy Blooming - Bath Melt
• They gave me a sample of a new product called Glourious Mud its a body mask

Ive been into Lush for the past year & i really do love their products.

Ive had Lemsip before & really like the lemony smell. On the tub from a previous order, it says its for oily-er skin, but I have dry skin, it leaves my skin soft & i use it as a shaving cream, & then ile re-use 2 wash my legs after. So when I got it 2 weeks ago I thought it would come in the black pot/tub again but it came like soap. so i just cut it into square-ish chunks & put them into my empty Lemsip pot from last time.

Ma Bar - I really love the smell & the bubbles, I'm more into having a shower as it's quicker.
But i do take the time & have a bubble bath & a soak & once im in the bath i can be in there for an hour, becuase its so warm & i don't want to get out lol. Any way my fave bubble bar, I normally cut it in half so i can use it twice.

Porridge Soap - Love the smell & its creamy.

The Godmother Soap - Smells like Rock Star but with out the bubble gum, its what i imagine what snow fairy would smell like. I did't have the money last xmas to try it becuase i'd spent it all spoiling my parents. So this xmas i will save money for myself.

The Blonde - To me my hair looks like its lighting but not alot I have only being using it for 2 weeks, so I think over the next month or so it should lighten up a fair bit.

Samples-

Sexy Peel - smells just like lemsip. It's ok im just not that into the soap lol.

Glourious Mud the body mask - Ok im not going to lie it was messy 2 use in the shower but it was fun lol i don't really rember the smell other than it being nice. Left my skin soft.

Handy Guru - Ive had a sample of this before but i didn't fancy paying £6.50 for it, i do like it just don't like the price. My hands seem to get a bit irritated around sented bath products like soaps & shower gels & if i have a bubble bath. But i find if i put this on before i go to sleep my skin is loads bettter in the morning.

Miranda Soap - Didn't really smell like anything tbh. Smelt ok when i first got it but when started using it whatever smell was there went missing after i used it.

Ice Blue Soap - Smells minty but not like tooth paste kinda like polo's lol, haven't tried it yet.

Happy Blooming - Smells like cherrys but not alot, it did make the water go pink my fave color ever. So i guess its ok.

Whoosh Shower Jelly - Smells like something for boys but with a bit of a fruity smell. Haven't used it yet though.

Thats it i have read a few books but i dont come on here alot lol

Ile probs do another lush shop in june myt go 2 a store with some friends for my birthday in june. As we might be going on a shopping trip.

Beautiful Creatures

What i liked about this book is that its told from Ethan's point of view, which is different as most if not all the books ive read before are from the girls view. I was gripped from the mention of the dreams he had about her, not knowing it was Lena.

I rate it 5/5
