New Years Eve Nails

Hey guys, today I thought I would show you what nail colour I'm sporting today in honour of New Years Eve. My obvious choice was glitter and this Ciate nail polish in 'Island Hopping' seemed perfect for tonight, I also thought I would do an accent nail on my ring finger using Topshops glitter. Annoyingly, the photo isn't doing it any justice but Island Hopping is a red base with a golden orange shimmer.


What nail polish are sporting today? Happy New Year!

I hope that your family and  Santa got you everything that you wanted. And to those who don't celebrate Christmas have a nice peaceful and relaxing day to yourself. I probably won't be uploading any posts until the end of the week/start of next week as I'm busy over the next few days/week.

Merry Christmas!

Lush Melting Marshmallow Moment Luxury Bath Melt

Hey guys, today I thought I would review another bath item from Lush, and the one in question today is the Lush Melting Marshmallow Moment Luxury Bath Melt. First of let me just say it smells INCREDIBLE, if you like the scent of their Snow Fairy shower gel and Godmother soap you will love this, and if I had to pick one scent out of their whole range and use for the rest of my life it would 100% be this.


The main ingredient is Marshmallow powder(Althaea). Now I never knew that marshmallow powder was a thing until the lady told me about it. It has many internal uses as well as external uses like applying on any inflammation, small cuts, insect bites and infections.


It turned my bath water a very light pink which didn't stain my bath tub at all. And when I stepped into the bath I could feel the bath melt doing its thing, as the water felt creamy/silky if that makes sense? I found that the scent stayed until I got out of the bath and the water drained away, although my bathroom still had a slight scent of the bath melt. The bubbles/foam did fade away after 15 minutes but I'm sure I will repurchase it again. It didn't irritate my eczema at all and left my skin feeling very smooth. So overall it's a nice bath melt but I don't think I'll purchase it soon as I still have a lot of Lush products to use up. Although I think I prefer it over the mango bath melt but I don't know if that because I prefer the scent of this one rather than the other one.



Do you like the melting marshmallow melt?

Lush You've Been Mangoed Luxury Bath Melt

Hey guys, the other week I was very naughty and I might have spent a little a lot in Lush. So be prepared for a tonne of Lush coming your way! I thought I would kick start my Lush posts of with a less Christmassy bath item and as they progress they will get more Christmassy. And the bath melt in question is the You've Been Mangoed Luxury Bath Melt.


The bath melts main ingredient is Mango butter. Now from what the lady told me and from what I remember mango butter is good for the body as it helps to soothe and moisturise dry skin, it also helps to combat skin issues like eczema and dermatitis. The bath melt also contains cocoa butter, lemongrass oil, lemon oil, almond oil and avocado butter all of which are natural ingredients and beneficial for the body.


I used the whole thing up as the lady didn't tell me that I could cut it in half and still get all the goodness that is inside. It dissolved nicely and my bathroom had a lovely citrusy scent due to the lemon oil, lemongrass oil and other oils. My bath water had a mild orange tinge to it, and as soon as I got in the bath I could feel my body getting moisturised and soft.


At £3.25 it's a reasonable price especially as you could get more than one use out of it.

Have you tried the You've Been Mangoed Luxury Bath Melt?
