London Haul! | Believe In Beauty

Hey!:)

In the Easter holidays, I and my family went to visit London and we went Shopping in Westfields at Shepherds Bush. I had a great time and brought a few things which I am going to show you today. I haven't done a haul in ages!
The first things I brought were things from Lush...obviously! The first thing I picked up was 'Sakura Bath Ballistic', it's actually a new one so I'm looking forward to trying it and reviewing it, HERE is the link on the Lush website. Then I got 'Creamy Candy Bubble Bar', which is one of my all time favourites and I haven't had it for ages, I've actually reviewed it HERE and you can buy it on the Lush website HERE! Finally, I got some more 'Honey I Washed The Kids Soap', because this is so nice and smells amazing, I've also reviewed this HERE and you can buy it HERE! The overall Lush website is HERE.  
Next, I went into Cath Kidston and brought a really cute Star print pen. I got this for Christmas and it ran out so I brought another one! Then I picked up some Dog tissues as I've had lots of colds recently. Finally, I got a new rubber as my old one is broken and I thought this was cute. HERE is the link to the Cath Kidston website.
Then I picked up my first Tanya Burr Lip Gloss as they are now in some Superdrug stores. There was hardly any left so I was lucky enough to grab the last 'Aurora' and I have been wearing it non-stop. It's such a pretty Pink colour and of course Aurora is my favourite Princess! You can buy it HERE. Review coming soon!
Then, I went into Hollister and brought this Mint Green and White stripped crop top. I thought this would be perfect for Summer and I just love the pretty bow detailing on the back, it's so cute! Plus, there was a 30% off all tops! You can buy it HERE on the Hollister website. 
Ok, so I brought another Mint Green Jumper. However, this is a really light-weight, thin Jumper so I could easily wear this in Summer as well. It's slightly cropped, so that's cool and I love the lace detailing on the back, it's super cute! I'm wearing this as I type! This was also 30% off. You can buy it HERE on the Hollister website. 
I then brought another two Tanya Burr Lip Glosses, but these were not from London and were on a different Shopping trip. The top one is called 'Smile, Dream, Sparkle' and the bottom one is called 'Picnic In The Park', these are such pretty colours and I love them! You can pick both of these up HERE.  

So they are all my recent purchases. I have also brought 3 new Jumpers and Shoes from Topshop, but they were featured on my 'April Wishlist' so I didn't bother including them, plus they will be coming up in a Look-Book soon...hopefully! Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoyed!

Lush: The Melting Snowman Bath Melt! | Believe In Beauty

Hey!:)

Today is another Lush review and I am going to be reviewing The Melting Snowman Bath Melt, one of my favourites! The concept of this is really cool, real Snowmen melt in real-life and because this is a bath melt, it's also melting...I love it! HERE is the Link to the Lush website. 
Here is the cute little guy! The Melting Snowman is an adorable little Snowman, who is in the process of melting. He has cute Chocolate Button Eyes and 3 Buttons on his melted stomach and an adorable 'Carrot' Nose. The Melting Snowman also has a really Christmassy scent, it's very spicy and it's featured ingredients are: Cinnamon, Clove, Patchouli, Benzoin, Lime and Sweet Wild Orange Oils. The smell was quite strong and lingered on my Skin, but I also think it gave me a bit of a headache. :( 
The Melting Snowman slowly melted away and left the Water a very cloudy, white colour. It was actually surprisingly opaque! The Chocolate Buttons also melted away like real Chocolate, it was quite weird and the Orange nose disappeared too. The Water was really soft and my Skin was left feeling very smooth and nourished. 

Overall, I love this little guy and something I will definitely re-purchase. Even though he's not the most exciting, he's cute and your Skin smells and feels great afterwards. He's fairly cheap too, priced around £2.00 (not accurate). Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoyed!

Lush: So White Bath Ballistic Review! | Believe In Beauty

Hey!:)

Another Lush review again for you all today. Today I am going to be reviewing the 'So White' Bath Ballistic. HERE is the Link to the Lush website. 
So White is a massive-sized Bath Ballistic, which is white all over. So White has a beautiful scent - it's very sweet and just like Apples! It's featured ingredients are Bergamot Oil, Rose Absolute, Orange Flower Absolute and Neroli Oil, no Apple ingredients though. The smell did linger on my Skin and it smelt like sweets! 
As soon as you pop So White into the Bath it starts fizzing and moves side to side, whilst releasing a white layer. The white layer lasted for quite a while, until the Pink from inside the Bath Ballistic's core was released. The Pink over took and left the Bath a VERY bright, opaque Pink colour, which I loved! Seeing as the Pink was so bright, I was a little scared for staining, but fortunately there was NO staining. 

The water was left silky, smooth and my Skin felt great whilst smelling lovely. However, the Bath Ballistic fizzed SO slowly. I'm not even joking, it must of took about 5-10 minutes. I eventually broke it up with my hands because I got so bored of it! 

Seeing as it's £3.20, it is quite basic, so not sure if I would buy it again. Probably for the scent and that's about it! I hope you enjoyed this post and thanks for reading!

Spring Nail Picks | Believe In Beauty

Hey!:)

Last year I did THIS post on my favourite Spring Nail Varnishes. I am still using all of them so do check out that post, but this year I have a few new ones to share with you all! 
Here are the Nail Varnishes that I am currently loving and using a lot this Spring. From left to right we have Barry M Gelly Hi-Shine in '328 Dragon', Tanya Burr 'Penguin Chick', Models Own 'Apple Pie', Tanya Burr 'Mini Marshmallow' and Nails Inc. 'Botanical Garden'. The swatches below match the Nail Varnishes in the right order. 
Here are the swatches. Doesn't it remind you of like a Neapolitan Ice Cream?! 
First I have Barry M Gelly Hi-Shine in '328 Dragon'. I think this is a really pretty Pink. It's quite a light Pink but bright at the same time. It also has gorgeous shimmer in it, which look so pretty on the Nails. Due to the fact it is a 'Hi-Shine' it obviously also finishes with great shine and doesn't chip easily. Me loves this one! 
Next I have a Tanya Burr Nail Varnish, which is very exciting, in the colour 'Penguin Chick'. This colour is quite hard to describe, but it's quite Grey with a hint of Purple in it. However, I think it's really pretty and because it's quite light, it's perfect for Spring. It also has great chipping qualities! 
Next I have a Models Own Nail Varnish in the colour 'Apple Pie'. This Nail Varnish is also scented, how cool?! On the Nails this actually reminds me of a Mint Ice Cream. It's a very Pastel colour and a REALLY Mint Green. I wear it a lot though and love it. It also finishes with a lovely shine to it. 
I have another Tanya Burr Nail Varnish which is in the colour 'Mini Marshmallow'. I love this one a lot, a lot and wear it very often. I think it is so pretty on the Nails and the perfect Spring colour. It's a VERY pastel Pink so you need 3 coats which is a bit time consuming but oh well. I have reviewed both the Tanya Burr Nail Varnishes mentioned in this Post from Tanya Burr's collection HERE. 
Finally, I have my Nails Inc. Nail Varnish in the colour 'Botanical Garden'. Now, you may think this looks like a Mint Green (as did I) but it actually comes out a more turquoise-blue colour, which I actually think is very pretty and a colour I've not had before or worn in Spring. It also finishes with a lovely shine and looks very pretty. It's also Nails Inc. woop woop! 

So they are all my lovely Spring Nail Varnishes! I really hope you enjoyed this Post and thanks for reading!

Lush: Shoot For The Stars Bath Ballistic Review! | Believe In Beauty

Hey!:)

Another Lush review for you all today as promised. I seem to be flying through these at the moment and I still have a lot more to come. Today I am going to be reviewing 'Shoot For The Stars' Bath Ballistic for you all. HERE is the link to the Lush website.
Shoot For The Stars Bath Ballistic is a medium-sized Bath Ballistic which is Blue with a bright Yellow shooting Star across the top and some Pink splodges around it. The scent is a very sweet honey scent which is similar to 'Honey I Washed The Kids' with its featured ingredients being: Brazilian Orange Oil and Bergamot Oil. The scent was quite strong and did linger on the Skin for a bit afterwards. 
As soon as you pop Shoot For The Stars Bath Ballistic in the Bath it fizzes instantly and begins to turn the Bath water a Blue colour, and the shooting Star releases spurts of Yellow which stay on the Surface for a bit, before blending into the Water. I was very certain the end result of the Bath would be Blue, but no I was wrong! There is a Pink middle and the Pink colour overtook and mixed to produce a very dark Purple colour, which was the final result. Along with all of that, it also produced foamy, silky smooth water. 

Along with colour changing there were also tiny bits of Star confetti which were really hard to see and just dissolved away, but they were a nice treat nonetheless. There was also a lot of Glitter but it did not stick to you at all! Instead, my Skin was left feeling very soft. 

It did however leave tiny Purple residue dots which were on the verge of staining before I very quickly rinsed it away. However, priced at £3.25, I would so buy it again and I'm super sad I don't have another one to use. Please bring it out again next year Lush! 

Thanks for reading this review and I hope you enjoyed it and found it somewhat useful.

Hair Accessories! | Believe In Beauty

Hey!:)

Seeing as my Hairstyle Posts seem to go down quite well, I thought I would do another Hair type post today. Unfortunately, I do not have any other Hairstyles to show you but what I am going to show you is some Hair accessories and where you can buy them because things like this just don't get talked about enough online and I want to help you all. 
First I just have your average doughnut ring, that you use to do for messy Buns. It's very handy to get that perfect circle and then you can just mess around and pull bits out to make it look messy. You can pick this up at Claire's Accessories.
Next I have some Clips! I love parting my Hair to the side and then taking a section of it from the front and clipping it to the side, with a little bit of a quiff. I specially like to do it with these pretty clips and you could also use them to clip your fringe back or to clip your hair at the back. You can pick these up from New Look. 
Next up are some Hair Bands, now I know this seems like an obvious thing but people don't realise how much Hair Bands come in to every day life. We use them for Pony Tails and Messy Buns and much more. I thought I would show you the best-value-for-money-ones. From Primark you can get a pack of Hair Bands in all shapes and colours for just a £1! Bargain!
Sticking with the Clip theme, I love clipping my Hair back with lots of pretty clips and these are some of them. I just think a lovely Flower clip adds a lot more fun to the Hair. I use these for more special occasions and you could even wear it at a Wedding. You can pick up these at H&M and Claire's Accessories.
A new addition to my Hair accessories is this Burgundy Velvet Scrunchy, and I also have a Black one and I'm currently wearing it as I type in my 'Half Up, Half Down' Hairstyle. I love using this for my 'Half Up, Half Down' Hairstyle as it helps to add a bit more volume than just an average Hairband and it also looks much more pretty and I just love a good ol' scrunchy. You can pick this up at Boots. 
Next I have some Floral headbands. I love a Floral headband and I use to wear them all the time. They are so pretty and look really cute in the Hair. I mainly just wear them now for a day when my Hair is being annoying or I can't be bothered with it. From top to bottom you can pick them up from, Jack Wills, New Look, Claire's Accessories and Claire's Accessories. 
Ahh...Kirby Grips/Bobbi Pins/Hair Grips, we all have a love/hate relationship with them. However, no matter how annoying they are when the break or just disappear we will also use them no matter what. Even though on 1st day use they are a bit slippery and don't always stay in, they are a life saver when doing a Messy bun! 
Sticking with the Headband theme, you know those floral crowns that you can get? I like to think that this is one very similar to that. I think it is so pretty and it looks so nice sat in the Hair. Unfortunately, I do not know where this is from, as it was a gift. 
Finally, something new that I brought recently. These are clear elastic bands, something that I had wanted for so long. They are so handy and I like to use them when doing a Fishtail Plait or a Halo Braid. They just look more subtle in the Hair. You can pick these up at Boots. 

So that is all the Hair Accessories that I am going to show you today. I think that these are the most important ones out there. Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoyed!
