Empties #1

Hey guys, today I thought I would share with you my empties as I've used up a few products and I want to share them with you. 


(currently on offer at Superdrug!)

First up we have the shampoo, it smells amazing, and it's the perfect shampoo as it contains no sulphates or silicones, and doesn't strip the hair of natural oils. It lathers up like a beauty and my hair felt amazing and I could get away without washing it for three days but as I got further down the bottle it started to make my hair mega greasy on the first day of washing which wasn't good(but I'm not sure if it's from the shampoo or conditioner)

Next is the conditioner, which again it smells amazing, it smells like a concoction of vanilla, caramel and apricot, it has a really thick creamy texture and it feels that it's really conditioning my hair. But same as the shampoo it made my hair really greasy(but I'm not sure if it's from the shampoo or conditioner)


I love this shower gel and I will definitely repurchase it as it smells amazing (think of the traditional pink scent from them) and the scent does linger for about one-two hours. It lathers up nicely although I do use a lot so I get the foaminess I like, and it feels really moisturising like it adds another layer to my skin, which is good as I have eczema and it stops me from scratching my skin. 

So, the shower gel gets a thumbs up from me but the shampoo and conditioner not so much. Have you tried these products?

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?
