April Highlight! | Believe In Beauty

Hey!:) 

So it's the last day of April today! I'm so happy to say I completed a Blog Post everyday this month! This is such a big achievement of mine! To round off the Month, I thought why not do a April Highlight? So here it is! 

I didn't do a lot in April, but one thing I really enjoyed, was going to see McFly! I love McFly a lot, I think their songs are really good and they are just generally amazing! Here are some pictures I took, they're not very good, as my memory card ran out, so I couldn't get good ones and the lighting is quite poor, but I thought you might like to see them anyway! Here goes...











This ones really blurry, sorry!

Pink Piano!!!! :D 
Those are my best Pictures! Sorry there not very good! Hope you enjoyed this quick Post to round off April! Can't wait for Blogging in May! :D

Lush: 'The Carrot' Re-Usable Bubble Bar Review! | Believe In Beauty

Hey!:) 

So today I'm going to be reviewing the Carrot Re-Usable Bubble Bar from LUSH. I'm really sorry that this is so late, but I had to keep rescheduling it, as I didn't have time to use and try it, but yesterday, I finally tried it! However, you may still have it lying around, like I did, and you may still be waiting to try it, like I did yesterday! They might even bring it out next Easter. I hope you still enjoy this review and find it useful though. 
Here is the Carrot! It is a good sized Bubble Bar and is quite Hard. I think when they are hard, they are better, as they last longer, and you get more bubbles out of them! It even has an actual Carrot Top, it's obviously fake though! It really does look like an actual Carrot, which is so cool. You're suppose to use the Carrot Top, to swish it in the Bath Water, to make Bubbles. I don't use the Carrot Top to swish, to make Bubbles because, 1. It doesn't feel very strong, it feels like the Carrot is going to fall off of it, and 2. I find it easier to just hold it under the running Water, as I get more Bubbles that way, then swishing it in the Water, where I find I don't get many Bubbles! 

The smell is really nice. Fortunately, it doesn't smell like an actual Carrot! It has quite a fruity, sweet scent. Similarish to Magic Mushroom, I would say. LUSH, say the scent is like Blackcurrants, the scent is fruity, but I wouldn't say it's like Blackcurrants. It's got lots of Fruity oils in such as: Buchu, Lemon and Bergamot.  However, it creates a lovely aroma in the Bath and in the Room and leaves your Skin smelling lovely and feeling fresh and moisturised. 
The Carrot produces lots and lots of lovely Fruity, sweet-scented Bubbles and turns the Bath Water a lovely Orange colour, which is very nice. I can't actually believe how many Bubbles there are! When I took this picture, I didn't think much of it, but looking back now, it looks so Bubbly! To get all them Bubbles, I hardly used any of the Bubble Bar! It looks un-used currently sitting in my Bathroom and even though I've only used it once, I know I'm going to get a lot of Baths out. I read on the LUSH website, someone got 10 Baths out of it! We will soon see about that! I will keep you updated! 

The only thing I'm not too keen on, is the Price. It's £4.95, which is very expensive for a Bubble Bar! This is not something I would be willing too pay. every time for a Lush Bubble Bar, but seeing as it's the one-off, it's ok. I hope it does last me 10 Baths, and so it should the price of it! You probably won't want it, but here is the LINK on the LUSH website, just in case you wanted to read more about it! :) 

Overall, I really enjoyed this Bubble Bar. I'm sad it's not out all year round, I wish it was and I hope it comes out next year too. It's cute, smells delicious, makes lots of Bubbles and tints the Bath Orange and all in all, is a lovely product to have in your LUSH collection! 

Thanks for Reading, sorry it might have been a bit pointless but hope you enjoyed anyway!

I'm loving my 'Body Shop' Lip Gloss in 'Raspberry' at the moment! It's a really pretty Pink, with a hint of shimmer! It smells amazing too! 
3. Show us your favourite Spring dress! 
I'm not really sure if this counts as a 'Spring Dress', but I love this Dress from Topshop, made by Annie Greenabelle. It has a really pretty floral Top and I love how it goes Black at the Skirt bit! 
4. What's your favourite Flower? 
I really love Pink Tulips. I think they are so pretty! 

5. Favourite Spring Scarf/Accessory. 
I'm really liking my Pink Flower Earrings. I think they are so nice for Spring as they are a light Pastel Pink and Spring is when all the Flowers start coming back!

I'm really loving Pastel Colours on Nails and floral prints! So lovely for Spring.

A Product I Regret Buying: Toni And Guy Salt Spray | Believe In Beauty

Hey!:) 

I don't really like talking negatively about Products, but this post is going to be Negative. A while ago, I brought the Toni And Guy Salt Spray. Lots of Bloggers and YouTubers recommended this, so I thought, 'Why not give it a go?'. I'm really annoyed I wasted my money on it, as I really didn't like it! 
First of all, it is so expensive for it's bad quality! It's £7.19 which I think is such a rip-off! It's so bad! Sea Salt is suppose to make your hair have a Beach Wave effect, like you've just come out of the Sea. It really doesn't do this for me! I put it in my Hair and scrunch it up a bit and it just does nothing! I've tried it when it's wet and when it's dry and I get no effect. Maybe I'm applying it wrong, but I don't think I am? 

Also it is classed as a 'Texturising Spray', which means it should also give your Hair a little bit of volume. Again, it doesn't do this! My Hair stays flat and just looks like it did before I put this in it. There's no volume, no nothing! 

Another bad thing about it, is that it makes my Hair sticky! It's so annoying how you put it in your Hair thinking your going to get really Wavy, voluminous Hair and it leaves you with Flat, sticky hair. It makes my Hair really hard to Brush and it's just awful! I can't wait to wash it, to get it out. 

The only good thing is the Smell. It's quite a light scent but still really nice, but you can't even smell it when you spray it in your Hair, so it might as well be unscented! As you can see, I really don't like this product! Here is the LINK on the BOOTS website, but I really would not recommend it! 

So I would rate this 0/10. Is that Harsh?! What are your opinions on it? Let me know in the comments! 

Thanks for Reading and see you tomorrow!

My Vans! | Believe In Beauty

Hey!:) 

Just a really quick post today to tell you all about my Vans! I love them lots! 
Here they are... As you can see I got the 'Carmine Rose' Vans. They are a really bright, Pink colour and are very pretty. I've had them for quite a while now and have been loving wearing them. They go with lots of different outfits and styles. However, being Pink, is a little bit awkward to match them to every outfit, unlike if they were more a neutral colour that goes with everything! At first I didn't find them very comfy,  but now I've worn them in a bit, it doesn't bother me. I'm so scared to get them dirty though, as they just look so perfect at the moment. Vans are quite expensive, these are priced at £44.99,
not a price I would normally pay, but I hadn't had a nice pair of shoes for ages, plus I got some discount! Here is the LINK on the OFFICE website if you're interested! I really recommend them, even if it's not this colour or pair, Vans are lovely shoes! 

So overall, really happy with these! Love the colour, they fit nicely, they're comfortable and add a nice extra to your outfit! 

Thanks for reading this Post! Sorry it was so short! See you tomorrow!

Creamy Candy Bubble Bar Review! | Believe In Beauty

Hey!:) 

So today's post is going to be a review on the Creamy Candy Bubble Bar from Lush! This is one of my favourite Bubble Bars, I love it so much! 
As you can see Creamy Candy is a really good sized, cute, Bubble Bar for it's cheap price of £2.50. I think the price is really good because it is such a lovely product. I'm so surprised it is not priced dearer, as it is amazing! 

First of all the smell is lovely! I love it, it's probably one of my favourite scents from Lush. It's very sweet and slightly smells like Snow Fairy and Rock Star Soap! It's main featured ingredient is Vanilla Absolute. I wouldn't say you can smell a huge smell of the Vanilla but there is a tiny hint of it. 

I've been using this since Monday for everyday until today and I'm still not finished with it! You only need a small amount of it and it produces loads of Bubbles! The Bubbles smell really nice and comforting and it's sort of like you are bathing in Candy Floss, which is interesting haha! The Bubbles are creamy, hence the name, and leave your Skin feeling smooth. 
Look at all them Bubbles! 
It sort of tints your Bath water a nice Pink colour. I only use a Small amount because it produces lots of Bubbles, but I didn't get a Pink colour. The more you use, the darker the Pink will be, I guess. So if you want a coloured Bath, it might not last you as long as it would if you didn't want a coloured Bath, as you will have to use more of the Bubble Bar, if that makes sense?!  However, I don't mind if I have no colour, I just want lots of Bubbles to relax in and to get my money's worth! The Bubbles stay in the Bath for a really good amount of time which means you can have a lovely long relaxing Bath! 

I find the Smell does linger on my Skin for a few hours but I think it could linger a bit longer. It's suprising that it doesn't linger for as long as some other Bubble Bars, as it is a very strong scented Bubble Bar. 

As for the Small flower on it, it floats in the Bath for a while but eventually dissolves away. Here is the LINK on the LUSH website! Go buy it now! ;)

So overall, I really like this! It smells amazing, leaves your skin moisturised makes lots of bubbles, lingers on the Skin and makes your Bath very relaxing. Not a bad thing to say about this really! I highly recommend this and I think you should all try it! :) 

Thanks for reading and hope you enjoyed! See you tomorrow!

Product Rave: Baylis and Harding Body Butter! | Believe In Beauty

Hey!:)

So today's post is going to be my second 'Product Rave' on the Baylis and Harding Body Butter! I love this stuff!

My Mum gave me this a while ago, as she said she wasn't going to use it. I already had my eyes on it, as I thought the smell of it was lovely. 
The pot is very large and lasted me ages! (I've now finished it!) I used it mainly for my feet but here and there I would also use it on my arms and legs. I think it is an amazing moisturiser. It soothes the skin really well leaving it smooth and nourished. It gets rid of dry skin quickly and effectively. 

The formula of the product is really nice. It's not sticky, it's not greasy it's just pleasant and sinks into the skin really well and quickly. It's not one of those moisturisers that take forever to sink into the skin leaving you all sticky and greasy. 

You only need a small amount to get rid of the dry skin and to get moisturised skin which is really good! I'm really sorry but I can't find the price of the Body Butter anywhere on the internet and I don't know what it is, as my Mum got it in like a gift set! 

I really can't think of a bad thing about it: It lasts for ages, it's soothing and moisturising, it gets rid of dry skin, it sinks in well and it's not greasy! This is everything you want in a Body Butter, yes?! 

I really do recommend this. I would imagine, (maybe?!), you could get it in somewhere like John Lewis? That's probably your best bet!

Thanks for reading and hope you enjoyed, sorry it was so short! 

Byee!:)

Nails Of The Day! | Believe In Beauty

Hey!:)

I'm going to be doing a really quick post today to show you how I did my Nails the other day. It's nothing brilliant, but just simple and effective and I really liked wearing it! 


I thought this was a really nice look for Spring, as it used lots of Pastel colours and brightened up the Nails. I always think Spring is the season for 'brightening' up things because when you go through Autumn and Winter, with all the Trees loosing their leaves, not many bright Flowers, dull, short days, Spring is the season which follows after and brightens everything up! Trees get their leaves back, we have longer, brighter days and there's more bright flowers! That was a bit off subject...

So to create the look I just painted all my nails a Pastel Blue colour which is 'Minty Fresh 320' from No.7. However, I painted my Ring finger '304: Mint Green' from Barry M with Nails Inc. 'Glamour Glitter' over the top, to give it a lovely glittery effect. I also gave my nails a high quality finish by using the No.7 Stay Perfect Top Coat which I love and have done a review of HERE

So that's my finished Nails! I hope you like them as mush as I did! Thanks for reading and see you tomorrow! 

Byee!:) 

P.S- I went to Lush on Sunday, do you want to see a Haul this Month or in May? I'm happy to do either, but your choice!

Strawberry Balmi Review! | Believe In Beauty

Hey!:) 

So today's post is going to be a review on the 'Balmi' Lip Balms. I have the Strawberry flavour and got it for Easter. I have been enjoying these ever since using it and I have so many good things to say about them! 

The box they come in is really nice, it has Strawberry's all over it, which, I think makes it look very Girly! You can even smell the Strawberry scent through the box. I also like the little Slogan it has on it which is, 'Love Life. Love Lip Balm'...cute! 
A Balmi is a really lovely Lip Balm, very similar to the EOS ones. I really like the appearance and Design of these Balmi's. It has a really different shape to an ordinary Lip Balm. The colour is a nice pastel pink and looks pretty and girly. I like how they are spherical and have the word 'Balmi' engraved in them. I think it gives them a nice effect and it definitely drew me into buying it. It's weird how something being spherical or an interesting shape, draws you into something so much!  
The Balmi's come in 5 different flavours but I opted for the Strawberry one. The other flavours you can get are Raspberry, Mint, Blackcurrant and Coconut. The Strawberry one smells divine. It's so nice and when you put it on your Lips, you can always smell Strawberry in the air...it's lovely! 

The Lip Balm itself is really good! It's really moisturising and good at getting rid of dry and chapped skin on the Lips. It leaves your Lips feeling soft and nourished and it's not greasy! It does give your lips a good shine as well, so it kind of looks like your wearing a bit of Lip Gloss! However, it is a TINY bit sticky, so sometimes your hair does get stuck to your Lips when it's windy. It has a really good staying power and it lasts on the Lips for ages. You really don't have to apply it every second of the day like some Lip Balms. Once in the Morning and once at Nightime is how much I apply it and that does the trick for me! 

The Lip Balm also has SPF 15 in it, so will protect your lips from the Sun, which is another great feature! No one likes burnt lips do they?! 

I also really like how it has a Keyring feature to it. It's a really handy thing to have. You can attach it to your Keys, Purse, Bag and lots more! It's handy for those cold days when you Lips get chapped and you've forgotten to take a Lip Balm out with you, but don't worry anymore, because you know it will be either attached to your Keys, Purse or Bag!
 The only downside to these products is the price. They are £4.99, which is quite pricey for a Lip Balm, when Vaseline and Nivea Lip Balms are cheaper. I would definitely say it is worth the price though and I would really recommend it to all of you reading if you haven't tried it before. It's definitely a MUST HAVE product and something I'm definitely going to be repurchasing, when it runs out. 

I'd say, if you love good quality Lip Balms, with lovely scents and super nourishing with unique packaging, you will definitely love this! But if sticky is something you don't like in a Lip Balm, then maybe this isn't for you! I can look past the stickiness, for all it's other great features, so maybe you should try it anyway?! 

Thanks for reading this Review and I hope you found it useful! Here is the LINK for the Strawberry Balmi on the BOOTS website. Why don't you pop over and have a look at the Balmi's? I think you would be silly not too! 

Byee!:)

Magic Mushroom Bubble Bar Review! | Believe In Beauty

Hey!:) 

So today's post is going to be a quick review on my favourite ever Lush product! Meet Magic Mushroom... 
Magic Mushroom is a good sized, adorable red and white spotted Toadstool Bubble Bar and was originally a Valentines Day Product. In March and April it has been featured on Lush' website on the Retro Section. When I saw it I went a little bit crazy and brought it straightaway! Well I had to wait until Easter to actually use it again...

I first got it back in February 2012. I loved it then and I still love it now. The things that drew me to it the most were, the smell and how cute it is. I think it's a really cool shape and it just looked very appealing to me.  

The smell is lovely though. On the Lush website they say the Red Top is scented with Vanilla and the White Stem is scented with Strawberries. This would explain why it smells quite fruity and sweet. It has a really nice sweet smell, that lingers on your Skin for ages. It contains olibanum resinoid, bergamot oil, geranium oil, vanilla absolute, jasmine absolute and tonka absolute. It always leaves my Skin smelling really nice and fresh and leaves it feeling smooth and nourished. I think my Skin always thanks me, after I use Magic Mushroom. 

It makes the Bubbles smell 10x nicer. It gives you huge mountains of soft sweet-scented Bubbles, that smell similar to Strawberries and Cream, which are so nice to relax in. With the smell lingering in the air and the lovely bubbly bath, it is basically perfection, there is no other way to put it! 
Look at all those Bubbles and I barely used any of it! 
It slightly tints the Bath water a light Red/Pink colour, which is a nice bonus, adds more to the effect and makes the Bath look pretty. 

Magic Mushroom is really good for using over a number of Baths. I can honestly and proudly say you can get at least 3 or 4 Baths, maybe more out of it. You only need a small amount to get heaps of Bubbles. In the picture above, I held Magic Mushroom under the Tap (not crumbling it up) for about 30 seconds and then swirled the Water even more, to get all those Bubbles. It didn't really make a difference to Magic Mushroom. It still basically looks the same and it looks un-used.  

Being priced quite expensively at £3.50, I really don't mind. You really get what you pay for, I think. You get loads of Baths out of it, the smell is delicious (almost so good I want to eat it!), it tints the Bath water, it gives you tons of Bubbles, it leaves your Skin feeling lovely and it makes your Baths relaxing. I don't think, I can think of one bad thing about it. It is soooo amazing. I really don't understand why Lush can't make this a Product for all year round!! 

I hope you enjoyed my review. Who else loves Magic Mushroom?! It is still on the LUSH Website, so I hope I've persuaded you to go buy it, because here is the LINK, as I know you will all be interested in buying it. I may have to pick up a few more before it goes again. The day it goes from the Retro Section (which is probably going to be soon) will be a sad day. :(  

Thanks for reading! 

Byee!:) 

P.S- Who wants to see a really bad picture, I took of it, when I first brought it in February 2012?! Here it is...
It hasn't changed much...

My Night Time Routine! | Believe In Beauty

Hey!:)

So today's post is going to be all about my Night Time Routine. I'm going to write and include when I wash my Hair in this post, but I don't wash my Hair every night, so the Washing Hair steps aren't relevant for every night, if you get what I mean? Let's get started!

First of all I will have a Bath and wash my Hair. If I'm not washing my Hair then I will just brush it and tie it back. In my Bath I always like to use something Lush. Most of the time I will use a Bubble Bar but occasionally use a Bath Bomb. I'm currently using The Creamy Candy Bar from Lush. 
Then I will get into the Bath and wash my Hair. It takes me forever to wash my Hair! I always use the Aussie Shampoo and Conditioner, or an Avon Planet Spa leave in Conditioner or a Aussie 3 Minute Miracle. I really like them all! 
 Then I will get out of the Bath and put on my Pajamas. I will then comb through my Hair, with a wide tooth comb and I will also spray some Heat Defense spray into it. I'm currently using a Lee Stafford Heat Defense Spray. Then I will put some Avon Advance Techniques Morrocan Argon Oil in it. I love it! It makes my hair so smooth. 
After that, I will dry my Hair. The worst part! It literally takes me forever to dry my Hair, it's such a boring task! 

After drying my Hair, I will brush it through and tie it into a low Pony Tail, as I always Sleep with it in a low Pony Tail.

  I will then put some Body Butter/Lotion on. At the moment I'm currently using a Jack Wills one, which smells amazing! I mostly put it on my Feet, as my Feet always get so dry. 
Then I will go downstairs and have a Drink. I have either Milk or Hot Chocolate. Sometimes I have biscuit to go with it. Living on the edge of life here...

Then I come back upstairs to clean my Teeth and wash my Face. On Wednesday and Sunday's, I will exfoliate my Face with either the Simple Blackhead Eliminating Scrub or The Body Shop Vitamin E Cream Exfloiator. If I'm not exfoliating, I will just use my everyday Face Wash which is The Body Shop Vitamin E Face Wash. Then I will moisturise with The Body Shop Vitamin E Moisturiser or The Body Shop Vitamin E Intense Moisture Cream.
Bit blurry...sorry!
Then I will go to the toilet and wash my Hands and put a Hand Cream on. I'm currently using a Cath Kidston one and loving it. 
Finally I will brush my Hair one last time and put a Lip Balm on. I'm currently using the Vaseline Creme Brulee. Then I will get into Bed. In Bed I usually Read or go on my Phone. I'm currently reading The Hunger Games. It's really good. I recently read The Fault In Our Stars and that's amazing!! 

I hope you enjoyed this Post on my Night Time Routine. Thanks for reading and I will see you tomorrow for a Review on my Favourite Lush Product...any guesses what it is?! ;)

New Things! | Believe In Beauty

Hey!:)

By reading the title you may be thinking there are going to be some 'New Things' happening to this Blog or I'm going to be doing some 'New Things'. Nope it's nothing like that! I'm doing a teeny, tiny haul of some new things I've brought recently! 
Still got the Label on it...haha.
First is this lovely Vintage Heart Drawer. I really like this. I think it is so cute and matches perfectly in my Room. It has a distressed effect which I really like. The 3 draws are really reasonably sized and it was only £9.99, which is a bargain! This was from Dunelm  Mill...that shop has so much amazing stuff! Love this! Here is the LINK on the Dunelm Mill website if you're interested. Now I'm going to show you what I keep inside...
In the 1st Draw I keep some Lip Balms and Lip Glosses. Look there is a 'Snow Fairy' Lip Tint! And a Yellow Vaseline!! 
In the 2nd Draw I keep some more Lip Balms and few Lip Glosses from Avon and The Body Shop. 
 In the 3rd Draw I have some Earrings that don't fit in my actual Earring Pot. 
On the top of it, I keep a really cute, little pot that I take to School to put my Earrings in, whilst I'm doing P.E, but I keep forgetting to take it recently! And a cute Fairy ornament that holds a picture, but I have no picture in it! What picture should I put in it?! Comment down below if you have any ideas/suggestions! 
Moving on from the Vintage Love Heart Drawers now...Lush sent me this 'Honey Bee Bath Bomb' free because I complained about 'The Enchanter Bath Ballistic' staining my Bath, so they sent me this as a gesture of goodwill, which was very nice of them. I will definitely be reviewing this sometime in the future. I really love this. I have been wanting this for ages! It's smells so lovely. So excited to use it! I saved £3.15 as well so that was good! Here is the LINK on the LUSH website if you want to buy it, I recommend you do! I think I'm going shopping on Sunday, so I will probably go to Lush. I don't know if I'll buy anything yet...probably not as I have lots to get through, but I would love 'Blue Skies and Fluffy White Clouds Bubble Bar'. 

Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoyed. See you tomorrow! 

Byee!:)

Soap and Glory 'Hand Food' Hand Cream Review! | Believe In Beauty

Hey!:)

Today's post is just going to be a quick review on the Soap and Glory Hand Food Hand Cream. I do like this and if you haven't tried it already, I think you should go give it a go! Here is the LINK on the Boot's website. 

It's only £2.50 which is an absolute bargain! I can't actually believe how cheap it is for a 50ml tube. I thought it would be way more expensive, seeing as it is Soap and Glory after all, and the 125ml tube is only £5.00! You are definitely getting a bargain here. 

I don't think I would agree with the Most Astonishing Hand Cream ever, that's a bit over the top. However, I did really enjoy it though. First of all it smells amazing. It is quite sweet but lovely at the same time. I can't quite get my head around that is has Marshmallow in...how weird?! The smell lasts on the hands for a good amount of time and I would say you really only need to apply this 1-2 times a day to get good conditioned hands. Therefore it lasts ages! It probably last me a Month or a bit longer, not really sure. 

It is a nice formula and quite thin and definitely not watery! It claims that is a non-greasy hand cream. I wouldn't quite say there is no grease, because in every hand cream there is grease, where it's a lot or a little amount, but there was an tiny bit less amount of grease and it sunk into the skin really nice and quickly.  You only need a tiny amount, because if you go a bit overboard then it can take a while to sink into the skin, but if you use a reasonable amount, it is very fast at sinking into the skin. 

My hands always get dry and it has been so cold and very windy recently. Wind = Chapped skin! I apply this before I go to Bed and sometimes throughout the day. When I wake up in the morning my hands are smooth, they feel moisturised and there is definitely no dry or dead skin which is good. 

I also noticed a difference on my Nails. I'm not sure if this has anything to do with it or not, but since using it they have become really strong and less breakable. They didn't break at all! The cuticles didn't peel or go dry either. 

The names slightly weird though...'Hand Food'. I'm not really sure how I feel about this? Haha. The packaging is lovely though. What Girl doesn't love a Pink Hand Cream to throw in their bag?! 

So overall I really like...The price, how well it sinks into the skin, the formula, the smell and that it moisturisers the hands perfectly. I wish it was...A tiny bit less greasier as it claims that it is a non-greasy hand cream and I would say that's a tiny white lie! 

I said this Post was going to be short, it has actually become quite long...oops!

What are your opinions on this Hand Cream from Soap and Glory?

Hope you enjoyed this post! See you tomorrow! 

Byee!:)

Lush Christmas Products Review Part 2! | Believe In Beauty

Hey!:) 

So today's Post is going to be Part 2 of my Lush Christmas Products review! I hope you enjoy as I always put lots of effort into making these Posts as good as possible! 
The products I'm going to be reviewing today are 'Father Christmas Bath Ballistic', 'Christmas Eve Bubble Bar', 'Santa's Sack Bubble Bar' and 'Snow Fairy Shower Gel'. You may be thinking where is Snow Fairy Shower Gel in this picture? Well I didn't realise I would be reviewing this in this Post, whilst I took the picture's...sorry!:/ 
My 1st product is the 'Father Christmas Bath Ballistic'. So as you all know, back in March, I did a review on this in a full post. Here is the LINK to read a full review on it, but I will just give you an outline of what I liked and what I didn't like! I did like, the smell, the cuteness of the Bath Ballistic, the colour it turned the bath. I mainly didn't like the Glitter because it got stuck to me everywhere! Please go read that review if you haven't already read it because it is so in depth and covers a lot! Go read it now...then come back to this post! Here is the colour it turned the Bath water, so pretty!

My 2nd product is 'Christmas Eve Bubble Bar'. I really enjoyed this one! Firstly I think the shape of it is very interesting and it smells delicious! You can kind of see in this Picture that there are very tiny bits of Glitter on it that really do not effect you or stick to you whilst you are in the Bath, so don't be put off by them! When putting it in the Bath you only need the tiniest amount ever and it makes mountains of Bubbles which spell lovely, the smell is like Jasmine and is quite a Christmassy scent, so perfect for Christmas, or if you wanted to use it on Christmas Eve to get you into the Christmassy mood! The scent stays on the Skin for a good amount of hours and this Bubble Bar also leaves your Skin feeling nourished and smooth. Christmas Eve is a good sized Bubble Bar and seeing as you only need a small amount to get loads of Bubbles, this lasts you for ages! I managed to use mine every day from Monday-Sunday which is really good! Being priced at £2.95 is an absolute bargain! I did not really get much colour in my Bath from the Yellow or much from the Purple but I did not get bothered by this. Also it dried really quick after every use and went back hard very quickly to be re-used again! I think this makes your Bath very relaxing and is something I really want to come out again this Christmas, just so I can get loads more of them! One of my favourite Christmas products from the 2012 collection! 
My 3rd product is 'Santa's Sack Bubble Bar'. Firstly how cute is this?! I really like the idea of it being a sack with presents inside, but not only do the presents stand there and look pretty...you can pull them out! It's like pulling real presents out from a Sack. How exciting is that? Is it just me who finds that exciting?! The Presents are much harder than the Sack itself, so you can get a lot of Baths out of them individually, each producing heaps of Bubbles for you to bathe in. The Sack however, I found quite hard to use. It was so crumbly! It broke up into loads of tiny pieces, which were really hard to crumble under the running water. You know some Bubble Bars dry and go back to being hard? This didn't! It sat at the side of my Bath being all soggy and crumbly, which was so annoying! I did get numerous Baths out of this though, which I think you should get, being priced quite expensively at £4.15!!!! The smell is beautiful though! It's kind of like a typical Lush scent. It contains Tonka Absolute, Neroli Oil and Tagetes Oil, so it is quite similar to smelling of Vanilla and Cirtrusy. I also liked how it changed the colour of my Bath water, along with producing massive amounts of bubbles. The smell lingered on the Skin, but surprisingly not for very long! It did leave the Skin feeling smooth and nourished, just like every Lush product pretty much does! The Presents both gave off quite a yellowy/orange colour, whilst the Sack gave off a very dark, Red colour. Both colours were really pretty. Here are some pictures. 
The colour the water turned with the Presents being used, look at all those bubbles as well!
The colour the water turned with the Sack being used. Look how many bubbles there are! It's like snow!
Aren't they really pretty colours?! Overall, I did enjoy this Bubble Bar. Just wish it would have been a bit less crumbly, as that was so annoying! 
The final product is 'Snow Fairy Shower Gel'. I really enjoyed this too! I brought this at Christmas 201 and enjoyed it then, so I had to make sure I got it at Christmas 2012 as well. I really love the smell. I think it is so beautiful and the 'Snow Fairy' scent in general, is lovely! It lathers up really well, so you only need a tiny amount, so it lasts you a long time! It lingers on the skin for hours and I can always smell it on myself for a good amount of time before it slowly fades away. I love how smooth it makes your Skin and the colour of it! It's like Pink with iridescent shimmers of Purply/Blue which is so cool and so pretty! It's £3.50 for the smallest size (the one I have!) and I don't think that's too bad as it's so lovely! Love this Snow Fairy Shower Gel a lot, it's definitely one of my favourites EVER from the Lush Shower Gel range! Please bring it out again this Christmas (2013) Lush?!

Woah, that took me a long time to write and re read to edit anything! Haha! Hope you enjoyed this Post and I hope you found it useful in some way (even though you can't currently buy any of these Products!) and I look forward to posting the Final Part of these Lush Christmas Product Reviews in about a Month's time! Thanks for reading!

Byee!:) 

P.S-If you got to the end...well done you!!
