Lush posts always get me excited and I do love writing them, so here I am today with a mini haul that I bought a few days ago. This may be a short post and I do apologise because I didn't go on one of my big Lush splurges like I normally do but I am excited about these two products.
Yuzu And Cocoa -Bubbleroon : I had seen these Bubbleroons in Lush before but they just never interested me until my visit to Lush. It caught my eye as it is shaped as a macaroon and I love macaroons, obviously! Also the smell won me over. The chocolate orange smell is heavenly, I really cannot wait to see what this does in the bath. I really do want to try the other Bubbleroons, so let me know if you have tried any of them.
Milky Bath - Bubble Bar : How sweet is this bubble bar? I didn't just buy this because it's cute (that's one of the reasons actually) but I bought it because I cannot wait to see what this does in my bath. It smells like baby powder which is sweet. I have been told that it's the only bubble bar that actually creates a lot of bubbles, if this is true then I will be surprised.
Have you tried any of these products?

Floral Print Top - TU Sainsburys // High Neck Floral Dress - TU Sainsburys // Deer Print Top - TU Sainsburys // Lace Up Flats - Topshop // NO7 Airbrush Foundation - Boots // Liz Earle Serum - Boots // Barry M Sunset Nail Polish - Boots // Snow White Print PJs - Topshop
I was recently in Sainsburys just doing a bit of shopping and I came across their TU clothing range, so I had a little nose around. I found 3 items that I really liked so I decided to add them in this months paylist wishlist. The first item I remember spotting was this high neck floral dress which I really do like. I have a dress in this style already and I enjoy styling it with tights and ankle boots. But I especially love the floral print on this as it is perfect for A/W. Soon after I spotted this deer print top which is right up my street as it is so so cute! Shoe wise I have been eyeing up these leopard print lace up flats from Topshop. I did actually try them on and I adored them but now I just want them in my shoe collection. Of course I had to add some make-up and skincare. Starting with a new foundation from Boots NO7 collection which is called "Airbrush Away". I have heard many good things about this foundation so I cannot wait to try it. Next is something a little pricey but Liz Earle has always been a big hit for me. I have only ever used one serum before adding my moisturiser and it worked great on making my skin look amazing. That was until my aunt who is a big Liz Earle lover told me about this serum and now I just want to give it a try. Barry M have a new collection out called "Sunset" which gives your nails a nice glossy finish. Finishing off with something that I am most likely going to buy which is a Snow White PJ Tee. I love my Disney PJs so this would be fab in my collection.
Are you interested in any of these items?

I've never really used a setting spray before as my make-up doesn't really melt but when I saw this product on Feel Unique.com and saw "oil control", I was intrigued. I decided to buy the travel size instead of the original size as I wanted to trial the product. I didn't really go with what it says on the box which states "spray it like an X then a T shape" instead I found that spraying after I put moisturiser and make-up on, using the X shape worked out a lot better. This product impressed me! Didn't need to touch up during the day but was a tad oily at the end.
This sprays out a fine mist but it does take a while to dry. Once it's dried, you won't be able to feel it; it is really lightweight. There are no breakouts, no scent and irritation. If you spray this over a matte look, your make-up will not have the cakey look anymore. I did read somewhere that if you spray it on a brush first then sweeping it over the face before and after make-up is the best method. I will have to test that out. I would most definitely repurchase this in the full size product.
Have you tried this product or any other setting sprays?

I'm a huge loyalty card hoarder. I think I pretty much have one for everything and I don't know why I didn't do this ages ago because most of them are seriously worth it. I especially love the Boots and Superdrug cards as when I realise I have no money to buy any make-up, I'll go into Boots/Superdrug and notice that I have some money on the cards to use! I also love Bodyshops card as you get points for every time you shop in store or online and you get vouchers like £10 off to spend. You do get emails for event invites and special offers that are in store. And when it's your birthday you get a free gift worth £5 from them for being a member! Recently I joined Monsoon's reward card which was recommended to me by my auntie who is obsessed with Monsoon/Accessorize. When a new season starts, they turn your points into reward vouchers which are automatically added to your card. I especially love this because If I don't have enough money for an item then I will have some on my card. They also start you off with a 10% off voucher when you join to spend in store or online.
Onto food cards, now I have become pretty obsessed with these cards. Firstly supermarket cards which are such a big help if you are doing a food shop for yourself or just picking up a few random bits. Morrisons Match & More card is really handy if you want vouchers and be the first to know about offers in store. I will obviously like this loyalty card as I do work for Morrisons, but I do think it's one to have! Nectar card has become a recent one and I pretty much got this one because a friend told me that she changes the points she earns into free cinema tickets. Also you don't just have to use a Nectar card in Sainsburys but you can use it in Debenhams, House Of Fraser and Next. So if you buy any clothes from your favourite high street store you still get points. Tesco's Clubcard is a card I have had for a long time but have recently only started using it. They are good for vouchers again to spend on your shopping, recently they are changing your £5 vouchers into £10 vouchers which is pretty good.
Now if you are a coffee addict like myself then you would need a Costa card. With every £1 you spend they reward you with 5 points which each point is worth a penny. I always end up getting a free creamy latte or a mouth-watering muffin to enjoy. I have also recently joined Subways aswell but I haven't used it just yet.
Are you joined to any loyalty cards?

I had been wanting to give this a try for so long but always put myself off from buying it and I don't know why. But when I was making an order on Feel Unique.com I came across it on those "we suggest" pages and I just clicked into my basket now. I have tried it for a couple of times now and I got to say that I can see what the hype is all about. As instructed I applied one thick coat over my coloured polish and was astounded by the high shine finish on my nails. I couldn't stop staring at them! Once they were fully dry which didn't take so long at all, the surface of the nail feels incredibly smooth. I was excited to see how they would look the second day as they do tend to chip easily by then, but again incredibly they never did for about 3-4 days. I am very impressed with this purchase and have recommended it to friends who loves their nails as much as I do. It's perfect for when I am at work when I want my nails looking really nice. I will be sad when I run out of this but then I will most likely just order it again!
Have you tried this yourself?

Essie Nail Polish in 'Bahama Mama' - Boots // Unicorn Ring Holder - Urban Outfitters //Floral Crepe Waistcoat - New Look //Fringe Shoe Boots - Topshop //Lace Triangle Bra in Black & Purple - Topshop // Fringed Bag - New Look // Multi Necklace - Oasis
Payday is fairly soon and I am pretty excited about what fashion shops have to offer at the moment as A/W will be coming around! I love Autumn as I find it so easy to style when I am going out and I just love jumpers. I absolutely love wearing dark nail polish and what better brand have some lovely colours, but Essie! I found this lovely purple colour which is called 'Bahama Mama', looks like a colour I will probably wear all the time. I am obsessed with jewellery storage especially ring holders as I have many rings. I saw this one from Urban Outfitters which is a Unicorn. I must have it . New Look are winning recently on Autumn items, if you walk into your local New Look store you will just fall in love with all the darks and floral's! Everything looks expensive but really they are pretty cheap. I especially love this crepe waistcoat which is the trend right now. I could imagine styling this for a day time and night time look. Now onto something that girls struggle with which is bra shopping. I have forever had a problem with buying bras, I really hate bras with wires in, I find them way too uncomfortable. So I was in Topshop recently and I did buy one of their lace triangle bras in a white colour and I have to say I am so impressed. No wires and now I feel so comfortable whenever I do wear it. But now I just need many more of them! An Autumn bag is essential and I absolutely adore this one from New Look. I love fringe and I love the colours. Lastly is just a multi necklace from Oasis. I have been loving Oasis' jewellery range at the moment and I love the idea of wearing 3 necklaces.
What do you think of this months payday wishlist?

On Tuesday night I saw that Feel Unique had a sale. I soon went on there and spent let's say over £30 on some goodies that I have wanted to try for ages and just felt like treating myself. I got the box this morning and here I am showing you what I did get. The sale is still on, I'm not sure how long for but you can now get an extra 10& off by using the code SALEBONUS10.
Zoella Soak Opera Bath & Soap Cream - I pretty much saw Zoella aka Zoe Sugg big Youtube Beauty/Vlogger's beauty range plenty of times in Superdrug and online but just never really thought of trying them, that was until I saw many reviews on blogs. I do love my bubble baths and fragrance shower gels so I just had to get this.
Zoella Fizz Bar - I'm pretty much cheating on Lush Cosmetics a bit here as I did buy a bath fizzer. I particularly liked the design on the packaging. I really cannot wait to give this a try and I'm sure I can use it many times I want to as it's quite large.
Bioderma Sensibio H20 Make-Up Removing Micelle Solution 100ml - I know I am a bit late on the beauty wagon with this next product. I have been wanting to see what all the fuss was about with this make-up remover for a long time. I'm currently using one similar which is the Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water which is fairly cheaper to buy, but I have wanted to try this French pharmacy gem more. I'll soon find out which is better.
Topshop 5 Years Of Beauty Lips - I decided to pick up a Topshop lipstick randomly after seeing it was part of their 5 years anniversary collection. I went for a dark colour in Beguiled. I love a vampy shade especially for Autumn so I cannot wait to wear it. Also the packaging is rose gold, how can you not love it.
Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat - If you are like me someone who loves painting their nails but hate waiting for them to dry, then you must get your hands on this. I remember buying this many months ago but just never re-purchased it until Tuesday night. It really does do what it says. It makes your nails shine and makes them last such a long time. Get it while it is in the sale!
Urban Decay Make-Up Setting Spray 30ml - Another product I have been dying to try is Urban Decays setting spray for make-up. The amount of times I have gone out on date nights or night outs with my friends and my make-up just doesn't last at all. This will come in good handy for when I am going out with make-up on that I want to last through the day.
Let me know if you have tried any of these products as I would love to hear your thoughts!

The other night I decided to use this bath bomb called The Experimenter as when I bought this I was very excited by it's fun multi-coloured feature, along with the glitter shimmer to it. When I put this in the bath, it quickly started to dissolve and the popping candy inside started popping straight away. It shoots out beautifully vibrant colours, it felt like a galaxy was being exploded in my bath. I had to Snapchat it straight away to my friends as it was just so beautiful. But then suddenly all the colours went away, it turned the water into a dark murky blue colour. I didn't particularly like the smell. Rather a mysterious smell as I can't really describe what it smells like. Then after you drain the water away you are then left with gold glitter which was too much of a problem to get rid of.
The smell afterwards on my skin smelt fantastic to be honest and my skin was very soft. I wasn't left with glitter all over my skin either. I think if I buy this again I would probably have to mix it with something that can make it bubbly to cover that horrible murky blue colour.
Have you tried The Experimenter?

Last week I went into Lush and pretty much came out with a lot of things, you can see that haul here. One of the products I picked up was a bubble bar called Pink Flamingo. It's a new Lush product and it's inspired by Summer fruity cocktails. Instead I think it smells more like sugary than fruity, kind of a mix between Snow Fairy and The Comforter (my two favourites.) Although the bath does smell lovely and makes my skin super soft, the smell doesn't linger on the skin which is a shame.
I was really looking forward to using this bubble bar as I absolutely love a nice chilled out bubble bath, but sadly this never really gave off many bubbles. I was expecting mounds of bubbles but instead I hardly got any at all. Also, I wouldn't really call it reusable as it was so flimsy on the stick that as soon as it hit under the tap, it pretty much crumbled off after one use. I was really hoping that I would be able to use this for 2 or 3 more baths at least.
The colours do look pretty though as it hits the water. It creates an orange/pink foam which is a lovely touch. The bath didn't look as exciting afterwards and my skin just never felt nourished as other bubble bars make it feel. I think I'm going to have to stick to my loved: The Comforter as it gives me all the bubbles I need.
Were you disappointed too?
