Lush Collection Part 1! | Believe In Beauty

Hey!:)

Throughout the Christmas period, I was frantically running around Lush shops buying lots of the Christmas products before they disappeared. Along with a wicker basket full of Products, products left over from my Birthday, 6 Lush Christmas Gift Sets, my Room is quite the Lush Shop. So, I have now decided that I am NOT going to Lush until I have used everything up and I thought it would be nice to show you my current Lush collection and what I'm currently using. Today, I thought I would show you the non-Christmas items, as this is what I am trying to use up first. It's some stuff left over from my Birthday. Click HERE to go to the Lush website.

*UPDATE ON LUSH MONDAY REVIEWS: Unfortunately in my collection at the moment, I only have Christmas things to review, which would seem very unhelpful to some people. However, I have decided that I am going to review them soon as recently I added a 'Lush Tab', with all my Lush reviews in so that they can easily be found. Therefore, I am going to be doing a midweek/bonus Post with a Christmas Lush review, just so that when next Christmas comes around the reviews are done and people can still read them. Don't worry, you will still be getting 2 main Blog Posts a week.*

With all that aside, let's start the actual Lush collection post part 1! 

First, I have a Pink and Green 'Pop In The Bath' Bubble Bar. This is one of my favourite Bubble Bars as it is so cute and has the sweetest smelling scent. I received this in a 'Blooming Beautiful' Gift Set which I got in July. I have actually used it now and it was very nice to use indeed! 

Oh look, it's another 'Pop In The Bath' Bubble Bar, you can definitely tell this is one of my favourites. This one is White and Pink and I believe I also got this in a 'Blooming Beautiful' Gift Set, but I got this one for my Birthday. I have also used this as well and I loved it again.

Next is 'Space Girl' Bath Ballistic, which is my favourite Bath Ballistic ever, ever, ever! It smells lovely, has Popping Candy in it, the Bath Water goes Purply/Blue and it is cheap! I received this in a 'Bunty Pink' Gift Set for my Birthday and I can't wait to use it! 

Next I have a 'Think Pink' Bath Ballistic, which is also one of my favourites and I love using it. I like how the Bath Water goes a bright Pink and it releases lots of little Heart shaped confetti which is so cute and the Flowers on top of it are adorable. You have to be careful though, the Pink can stain the Bath! I received this in a 'Blooming Beautiful' Gift Set, for my Birthday. 

Next I have another 'Space Girl' Bath Ballistic. You can never have too many of these when there your favourite. This one is slightly different, it seems to be covered in some Red, I'm not sure whether it's Glitter or something else. I received this one in a 'Out Of This World' Gift Set for my Birthday. 

Next up is the beloved 'Magic Mushroom' Bubble Bar, which I don't think is going to be leaving my collection for a very long time. I received this for Easter last year, when it was in the Retro Section. Lush originally brought this out as a Valentine's Product in 2010, 2011 and 2012, and I loved it so much, I was so sad when it was gone. I straightaway brought it when it came back last March for only a limited amount of time, and was sad when it left again. I have used this once to review it, but then I never touched it again. I can't bring myself to use it, as I just love it so much and it smells so delicious! Please bring this back again Lush!

Next is 'Creamy Candy' Bubble Bar. This is my favourite Bubble Bar, which you can buy all year round. It smells just like the 'Snow Fairy' scent, which I adore around Christmas time. This produces lots and lots of Bubbles, which are slightly Pink. I received this for my Birthday in a 'Bunty Pink Gift Set'. Can't wait to use this! 

Next I have another 'Think Pink' Bath Ballistic. There seems to be a reoccurring theme of having 2 of everything in this Post. I received this in a 'Bunty Pink' Gift Set for my Birthday and I look forward to using this also! 

Ahh, 'The Comforter', the prettiest Bubble Bar you ever did see. This is a gorgeous Pink and White Bubble Bar, which smells sweet and of Ribena. I love the scent and in the Bath it produces lots of Bubbles and tints the Bath Water a gorgeous Pinky/Purple colour. I received this in a 'Bunty Pink' Gift Set for my Birthday, so that is why it is not the normal size, it is a bit smaller. 

Finally, this is my last one. This may be cheating a bit, seeing as this is not a Lush product, but it was sat on my Cake Stand, with all my other Lush Products, so I thought I must include it. This is actually a Bath Ballistic from 'Bomb Cosmetics' and I'm not sure what it is called, because it is not on their website or online anywhere either. If you know what it is called, please comment below. I got this on Holiday in a little cute shop. This smells lovely and I can't wait to use it. 

So that is everything in my Lush collection for Part 1. They are all the Products that were on my Cake Stand which I showed you last Sunday HERE. Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoyed. Stay tuned for Part 2, which will be coming in a few weeks time.

New Nail Varnishes! | Believe In Beauty

Hey!:)

Today I am going to be talking to you about some new Nail Varnishes that I got for Christmas. I like to talk about Nail Varnishes, and I've previously done a Post about Nail Varnishes I got for my Birthday which appeared popular, so I thought I would do it again. 

From left to right we have Nails Inc. Royal Botanical Garden, Models Own Apple Pie and the last three are from Pauls Boutique, which came in a set and I'm not sure of their names. 

This is a Nails Inc. Nail Varnish in 'Royal Batonical Gardens'. This is a very, bright Mint Green which will be perfect for Summer. It is slightly blue-toned and looks lovely on the Nails. I've already worn this and loved the colour and quality of the product. 

Next is a Models Own colour in 'Apple Pie'. This is a very light Mint Green and more of a Pastel colour. I think I am going to be wearing this a lot through Spring. I think Models Own Nail Varnishes are great quality too, so looking forward to wearing this soon! 

Next is a Pauls Boutique Nail Varnish, with no name. This is a very dark Blue, I like to call it a 'Midnight Blue'. This has got a slight shimmer in it, which looks very pretty on the Nails. Looking forward to wearing this soon. 

Next is a another Pauls Boutique Nail Varnish. This looks bright in the bottle, but it is even brighter on the Nails. It is like a fluorescent Pink and a perfect Summer colour. I can see myself wearing this a lot in the Summer. 

Finally, is another Nail Varnish from Pauls Boutique. This is a gold colour, with slight shimmers in it also, like the Blue colour. This is perfect for parties and going out in my opinion, I like this one a lot! 

So they are all my new Nail Varnishes! I hope you liked this post and thanks for reading!

How I Store: Lush Products (Updated!) | Believe In Beauty

Hey!:)

Back in May 2013, I wrote THIS post on how I stored my Lush Products. I am a huge Lush fan, as everyone would know, but the way I was storing them previously was just not satisfying me. For Christmas I received a basic, but pretty Love Heart Cake Stand (from BHS), which are now use to display my Lush Products on. It sits on top of my Wicker draws, and fills up my whole room with a sweet, smelling scent. Here are some pictures to demonstrate. 

I think you would agree that this is a very cute way of storing your Lush products, it is definitely better than my previous post when I stored them in a white Wicker Basket. I also like that when you take a Bath Bomb or Bubble Bar off to use it, you can then replace it with a new Bath Bomb or Bubble Bar. I like how it is constantly changing. 

Unfortunately, not all my Lush products fit in here, so I have a few still hidden away in my Wicker Draws, and some are still in their Gift Sets from Christmas. My room is quite the Lush shop. 

Sorry this Post was quite short today, and picture heavy. I hope you liked it anyway though and I hope to continue this series this year, as it definitely got forgotten about last year. What things would you like to see how I store? Thanks for reading.

Top 5 Nail Varnishes Of 2013! | Believe In Beauty

Hey!:)

On Sunday I talked about my top 5 Make Up products from 2013, so today I thought I would talk about my top 5 Nail Varnishes from 2013. I'm not going to be doing a Top 5 Skin care, Hair products or Fragrance because I've kept my Skin care and Hair products pretty consistent in 2013 and I've recently done a Perfume collection and those are the Perfumes I wear every day, so I couldn't pick a Top 5. 

These are my top 5 Nail Varnishes, which I have talked about a lot previously. From left to right we have Barry M '304 Mint Green', Models Own 'Bubblegum', Barry M Gelly Hi-Shine '317 Greenberry', Essie 'Full Steam Ahead', and Barry M Matte '336 Crush'. The swatch on the Nail Wheel matches with the corresponding Nail Varnish. 

This is probably my favourite EVER Nail Varnish and this is the Barry M '304 Mint Green' colour. This was featured in my favourite Spring Nail Varnish post, which you can read HERE. I have worn this so much, that it is nearly all gone. I wore this in Spring right through to the beginning of Summer and never got bored of it. I was always wearing it! Mint Green is like my favourite Colour, so I actually have about 4 Mint Green Nail Varnishes. This Barry M one though has great quality and I can't wait to start wearing it again soon. Oh, Mint Green how I've missed you! 

Next is a Nail Varnish from Models Own in 'Bubblegum'. This is a bright fluorescent Pink, which surprisingly comes out as a Matte finish on the Nails. I really like Models Own Nail Varnishes and this one is so lovely. I wore this a lot in Summer, this was definitely my 'go to' Summer colour. I also wore this on Holiday and you can read more about it HERE in my favourite Summer Nail Varnishes post. 

In Summer, my beloved Mint Green colour got a bit left behind, because it wasn't the right season to be wearing it. However, I then found a brighter Mint Green, which was perfect for Summer so this was my 2nd Summer staple Nail Varnish, which I wore the most and wore it also on Holiday. This is the Barry M Gelly Hi-Shine in '317 Greenberry'. I loved the shine that it finished with, and the 'Gel' look it had to it. You can read more about this Nail Varnish HERE in my favourite Summer Nail Varnishes post. 

Next is an Essie Nail Varnish in the colour 'Full Stem Ahead', it is basically a dark Lilac colour, with tiny bits of Shimmer in it, which looks so pretty on the Nails. I got this for my Birthday in September, from my Friend and I always find myself reaching for this when I come to paint my Nails on a Friday Evening. I've worn it so much and I just love it. It finishes with a high quality shine, and doesn't chip easily. You can read more about it HERE in my favourite Autumn Nail Varnishes post. 

Finally, I have a colour that I really enjoyed wearing towards the end of the year from October to December. This is the Barry M Matte in '336 Crush'. This is a dark Red/Burgundy colour, which finished with a Matte look, so was very on-trend for Winter. I definitely wore this the most in Winter, because I just adored the colour so much, and Barry M always finishes with a great finish and doesn't chip easily. You can read more about this Nail Varnish HERE in my favourite Winter Nail Varnishes post. 

So that is my top 5 Nail Varnishes of 2013, I really enjoyed writing this Post, so I hope you enjoyed reading it. Thanks for reading and see you on Sunday!

Top 5 Make Up Products Of 2013! | Believe In Beauty

Hey!:)

I know we are getting further and further into 2014 now, but I still wanted to show you my top 5 Make Up products from 2013. These are products that I used a lot during 2013 and now I don't know what I would do without them. 

These are the products that I have chosen. I am sure many of you will be very familiar with these, as they are all well-known and I have talked about them previously. We have a Bourjois Colour Boost in '02 Fuchsia Libre', the Rimmel Stay Matte Powder in '006 Warm Beige', Maybelline Fit Me Concealer in '20', a Maybelline Baby Lips in 'Cherry Me', and finally a Rimmel Eyebrow Pencil in '004 Black Brown'. 

First I am going to start with the Bourjois Colour Boost in '02 Fuchsia Libre'. I am not going to go into full detail, because I have actually reviewed it HERE. However, I really, really love this! My friend brought me it for my Birthday and I haven't stopped wearing it since. It is a super bright Pink colour, which has got great pigmentation and lasts on the lips for a good while. It finishes with a glossy finish, and is not sticky at all. I also love how can you get precise application to the Lips. I wear this on special occasions and for evenings out and I just love it.   

Another Lip product now and this is the Maybelline Baby Lips in 'Cherry Me'. I discovered this in the Summer, and I've worn it a lot since then. Although it appears a deep Red colour, it comes out more of a deep Pink. The staying power is good, but not amazing. However, it's very moisturising to the Lips and is a all round good 2-in-1. I like to use this at School and when I think my Face needs brightening up because this adds a nice pop of colour and finishes with a glossy look. It also has a nice smell, like cherry bakewells! I've talked about this product HERE and HERE.  

In September I went through a bad phase with my Eyebrows and decided that I wanted to start filling them in a little bit. I have filled them in every day since, and I can't imagine not doing it now. It just adds a lot of definition and helps give the Eyebrows a much clearer, defined shape. This is the Rimmel 'Eyebrow Pencil' in 004 Black Brown. My Eyebrows are very dark, but not completely Black, so this is the perfect colour for them. This pencil gives a very natural looking finish and the staying power is really amazing! The nib of this pencil is really good and I can do very accurate filling in with it. I also like the Brush on the Lid, I comb through my Eyebrows with it afterwards and it just helps to keep everything in place. I will be doing a full review of this soon, because I love it.  

Next is the Rimmel Stay Matte Powder, in '006 Warm Beige'. Everyone loves this Powder, so I am not going to say much about it. It has a long staying power, and helps keep concealer on your face for a much longer time. It also keeps the face very matte, and being someone with oily skin around my Nose and Chin, this helps me a lot. I'd also say the coverage of this is very good. I've talked about it a little bit HERE. I might do a full review of this soon as well.   

Finally, I have the Maybelline 'Fit Me' concealer in '20'. Along with my Rimmel 'Wake Me Up Concealer', I love this a lot. I use this in a lot of different ways, but I have found it works all ways. I mainly use it for highlighting my Brow bone and for under Eye circles, because it is very brightening, but I also use it for Spots. I think it has a great coverage, and can be blended very well. It has quite a runny consistency, but this doesn't affect how it blends. The staying power is good, but is much better when you powder it down. It also is not cakey, so you don't have to worry about that. I am going to be doing a full review of this soon also!

I hope you enjoyed this Post. I really liked going through and talking about all my favourite products. I think these are going to be my staple products for 2014, and I would definitely re-purchase them if need be. 

Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoyed. Stay tuned for the full reviews of the products mentioned and hopefully it wasn't too long.

My Updated Perfume Collection! | Believe In Beauty

Hey!:)

It has roughly been a year since I showed you my Perfume collection. Perfumes have come and gone, so I thought I better show you an updated version today, it also appeared to be very popular last year. HERE is my post on my Perfumes from last year. My Britney Spears 'Radiance' Perfume and my 'Christina Aguilera' Perfume have gone. The others I still have although they are running quite low and I have a back up DKNY 'Be Delicious' Perfume, but that is not featured in this Post. After a long rambling, let's get started. 

This is the Katy Perry 'Killer Queen' Perfume, which I received for Christmas. I found out about this Perfume by getting a sample of it in my Glossybox back in October. I absolutely loved it then, and still adore it now. It is a very strong, sweet scent and lingers all day. I can't wait to start wearing this a lot! You can buy it on the Boot's Website HERE.   

This is a Perfume from Next and it is the 'Cashmere' one. I got this from my Nan and Grampy for my Birthday just gone. It is a musky scent, but also is quite sweet. I think it is more of a Wintery scent, and good for the evenings. I have actually done a short review on it HERE. You can buy it on the Next Website HERE.  

This next Perfume is one of my all-time favourites! My Mum got this for her Birthday and then when I smelt it, I knew I had to have it for myself. Therefore, I got it for my Birthday this year. I wear it all the time, I just love it. It is a really sweet, floral scent which lingers all day. I have done a short review on this fabulous Perfume HERE. You can buy it on the Boot's Website HERE.   

This next Perfume is one by One Direction, and it is the 'Our Moment' Perfume. Surprisingly, the Perfume is actually ok. It is a very sweet scent, but also is refreshing. I've found the staying power isn't too bad. I don't like the bottle though, but the scent is nice! You can buy it on the Boot's Website HERE.   

Next is another one of my favourite Perfumes. It's a JLS one! JLS are my favourite Band and I don't care that they have split up, as I still like them. This is their 'Love' perfume and I love it. This is a very, very sweet/rosey/floral scent, but I love it. The staying power is great and I've done a short review of it HERE. You can buy it on the Boot's Website HERE. 

Next are two Perfumes from Superdry. My Mum and Sister actually gave me them, as they weren't using them. They're ok, but I don't really wear them much. The scents are both quite musky and aren't my favourite. I only really wear these occasionally. You can it on the Superdry Website HERE and HERE.  

So they are all my Perfumes! I really hope you enjoyed this Post, I love talking about Perfumes and if you went any individual reviews on Perfumes that don't already have reviews, let me know! Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoyed.

Empties #3! | Believe In Beauty

Hey!:)

Today I have a post that I have not done in forever and this is an empties post. I think the last time I did this was way back in June, so this post is much overdue! I have a selection of different products, that I believe you will be interested in hearing my views on. You can read my first empties post HERE and my second empties post HERE Let's go... 

First I just have your average Body Spray, which is an Impulse one and is called 'Loving Words'. This is my most favourite Impulse, and I went to re-purchase it recently and I picked up the wrong one! I was so annoyed. The scent of this is very sweet and fruity, and makes your Clothes smell lovely for the day ahead!  

Next I have two Miss Sporty clear Mascaras, which I use to keep my Eyebrows in place and this Mascara does just that perfectly. Not sure why I have two though? 

Next I have the Rimmel 'Wake Me Up' concealer and I love this! This is one of my favourite concealers and I'm sad that it is all used up and gone. You can tell I used this to death as all the writing is chipping away and I've been rubbing the sides of the tube for more concealer, but nope...it's definitely gone now. This is so good for under eye circles and spots and blemishes. It has an amazing coverage and blends lovely. 

Now I have two moisturisers that I have been using up recently. I have a Champneys moisturising Day Cream and a Body Shop Vitamin E moisturiser. Both are really lovely and smell good. They keep my skin nourished and hydrated, which is exactly what you should expect in a moisturiser. 

Next I have this Avon Blemish Mark Treatment. I would basically use this to put on Redness, and as it it like a 'Gel', it is very cooling so takes away irritation around the red area, but also calms the redness down and makes it less noticeable. It doesn't clear the Blemish completely though, which is slightly annoying. 

A sad empty product now. This is the Snow Fairy Shower Gel from Lush. I love this stuff! This only comes out around Christmas time (October-December) so you have to make sure you pick it up quick. This is actually from last year, but I saved it until now. I love the scent, it is so sweet and beautiful. Good job I picked up a new one this year, in a bigger size as this is only the 100g one. I think I have the 250g or 350g now? 

 Next I have the Soap and Glory 'Butter Yourself' Body moisturiser. I have been using this stuff for a very long time as it is such a big pot. It smells lovely and sweet, a very girly scent indeed. It also moisturises the Skin so well. My Skin always feels soft, nourished, hydrated and smells great after using this product. Luckily, I have another one lined up to use after this one.  

A Perfume now which is a bit different! This is the Christina Aguilera Perfume, which I received last year for Christmas from my Auntie and Uncle. I have very much enjoyed using this for the last year, it has a very sweet scent which stays on the Skin and Clothes for a good amount of time, not all day though.  

Finally, I have 3 Lip Balms which I have been collecting for a while. First is the Strawberry Balmi (review HERE), I absolutely loved this stuff and it made my Lips super smooth. Next is a Vaseline which is a Limited Edition one in Creme Brulee. This smelt amazing and we all know Vaseline is great so this helped my Lips perfectly. Finally, I have a Maybelline Baby Lips in 'Intense Care', which was super nourishing to the Lips. 

I'm so sad to be throwing out these products, as they are certainly some of my all-time favourites. There's always new products to try though! Thanks for reading this Post and I hope you enjoyed!
