Lush: Pop In The Bath Bubble Bar Review! | Believe In Beauty

Hey!:)

Hope everyone's having a good week so far! Mine has been so busy and there's still lots more to come! For today's Post, I thought I would do a quick review on the 'Pop In The Bath' Bubble Bar from Lush! Here is the LINK  on the LUSH website, if you're interested!
 Pop In The Bath is a really good sized, cute, Bubble Bar and I love the name! It is priced at £2.90 which is relatively cheap, for how nice it is, I think it's a massive Bargain! It is one of my Lush favourites for a number of reasons and was actually featured in my Lush Favourites Post HERE. Firstly, I adore the smell, it is lovely. It is quite a floral and sweet scent. Some of the main ingredients in this Bubble Bar include: Mandarin and Bergamot Oils and Orange Flower absolute.  The smell creates a lovely aroma in the room, in the Bath and lingers on your Skin for ages. You also come out of the Bath feeling relaxed and moisturised, as it leaves your Skin feeling lovely and smooth. 

I also really like how Pop In The Bath comes in a number of colours, it comes in Green, Blue, Pink and White, so you will always have a good selection to choose from. I opted for the Green colour, on the Lush website it is darker, but mine is more of a Mint Green, which I actually prefer! 
As you can see from the Picture above, it creates tons and tons of soft and light scented Bubbles! I held it under the Tap for a good amount of time and they appeared in no time! It also made the Bath quite foamy, which was nice. The Bubbles did stay for a good amount of time, but I did think they could have stayed a little bit longer! I got about 4 Baths out of this, which isn't bad, but I got more out of Creamy Candy and that is a lot smaller, strange! I didn't get any colour in the Bath from the Bubble Bar, but after all, my Bubble Bar was a very light (Mint) Green. 

The only bad thing I would say about it is that, it went a bit 'mushy' after I had used it. It obviously got wet, but I don't think it could cope with being wet, as it went all runny and I lost a little bit of it as it dripped into the Bath water. It soon hardened up though, ready to be used again! 

Overall, this is definitely one of my favourites! It smells delicious, creates lots of Bubbles, you can get 4 uses out of it, it's relaxing and nourishing for the Skin, comes in lots of different colours and is so cheap! What's not to like?! 

Thanks for reading and hope you enjoyed and found this useful!

Behind The Scenes Of Blogging TAG! | Believe In Beauty

Hey!:) 

So today I thought I would do a quick Post as I feel like I haven't done one in a while! I'm going to be doing the 'Behind The Scenes of Blogging TAG', which was created by http://www.thebeaubow.blogspot.co.uk/, who's Blog is really good, I love to read it! No one tagged me, but I'm going to do it anyway! Is that allowed?! ;) There are some Rules, so I will just post them here! 

COPY AND PASTE THE RULES


1. You MUST state that this TAG was created by www.thebeaubow.blogspot.com (Lauren)


2. You must use the image I have provided in this post on your post.


3. You must title this post 'Behind the Scenes of Blogging TAG' so everyone knows what it is about!


4. You must tag at least one other person, but there is not a maximum limit! -You will need to comment on their blog to let them know that they are tagged.


5. Thank the person who tagged you and link their blog.


6. You must answer all the questions

7. HAVE FUN!!


                                                        
Onto the Questions! 

1. Do you plan for each/some of your blog posts, if so, how do you do this?
I don't plan out exactly what I'm going to write out, before actually writing it, I just go with it. I will plan that I'm going to do that Post and I will pre-take the Pictures, a few days (sometimes weeks!) before I upload the post and I will plan and write down when I'm going to upload it. 

2. Do you have a Blogging Notebook/Diary where you write and plan about things to do with your Blog? 
I actually do! It's an old one I used for School ages ago, but now I use it for Blogging! I use the Notebook to schedule my Post, so I write down when I'm uploading them. I normally do it for the whole Month. So for this Month, I've written down the dates I'm going to post for this month and I've written what the Post is going to be!  Oh so organised! ;)

3. Do you feel pressured to buy things so that you have something to review on your Blog? 
Nope! I just look around my Room and think 'I might review this today because I'm loving/hating it and I've tried it long enough to have a full honest opinion on it'.  Unless every Blogger is reviewing the same thing, then I will feel like I need to be reviewing it too! 

4. Has the style of your Posts/Blogs been influenced by someone else? If so, who?
I really like Sprinkle Of Glitters, style of writing, so I sometimes try and do mine quite similar. I also love Zoella's Blog as she always influences me to take better pictures! 

5. What are your favourite Posts to plan and write about? 
Probably Lush related posts! I love reviewing their products, as I love Lush and I hardly ever have a bad thing to say about their products, so it's always going to be a positive Post, which is good! 

6. Do you think that your knowledge of Make Up (and applying it) has improved because of Blogging?
I definitely know more tricks and tips about Make Up and I would say I've probably improved my Skin Care routine from reading Blogs and hearing people's opinions about what are the best Skin Products out there and what Skin Products you need to avoid! 

7. Do you test all Products a certain amount of time before you review them?
Well I like to try them long enough to be able to have a honest opinion about them. I don't   have a certain amount of time, but it can be anything from 2 weeks to a Month. 

8. Do you have any other Websites for your Blog? (E.g- Twitter, YouTube, Bloglovin', or a Facebook Page, e.t.c) 
No...not yet! 

9. Do you feel the need to buy something, you have wanted, EVEN more when you see your favourite Blogger talking about it? 
YES! If they love it, I trust their opinion, and this makes me want to buy it 10x times more, as I know the product I want is going to be amazing! 

10. Do you find taking Picture's to be a chore, or not?
Well, taking Picture's for my Blog, is not my strongest point! I'm really not very creative and I'm definitely not a pro-photographer. My Picture's are always pretty rubbish and don't really show the Product's full potential. I always leave too much space, bad lighting, bad contrast, e.t.c! 

I really enjoyed answering the Questions for this TAG, it has been really fun! 
I'm going to TAG vintagelovehearts and Live To Love And Laugh

Thanks for reading!

What's In My Bag?! | Believe In Beauty

Hey!:) 

I hope everyone is enjoying their Bank Holiday Monday and having a good day off! I had a lie in and got ready and now I'm writing this! Not sure what I'm doing later! So today's post is going to be a 'What's In My Bag', I've been wanting to do this for ages and finally got round to it! 
So this is my everyday Bag! It's from New Look, but it is years old! I must have had this Bag for about 2 years! It's been looking a bit worst for wear recently and I am looking to get a new Bag, but I really love this one! I think it's a great size, it has 2 compartments, a small one (which I like putting my Phone in!) and a bigger one (which everything else goes in!) and it has a long strap, which I prefer in a Bag! Let's move on to what I have inside!
In my Bag: 

Tissues: Just handy to have in your Bag for sneezes, or if you have a Cold! 

Soap and Glory 'Hand Maid' Hand Gel: I think it's so important to carry around a Hand Gel, as you never know where you might catch Germs, and if you're going to be eating out you will need to sanitize your Hands!

Vaseline: I always carry some sort of 'Lip Product' around with me, but it's normally Vaseline. This is just to keep away chapped and sore Lips! 

Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer: It's always handy to carry around a Concealer as you never know when you might get a Spot/Blemish/Under Eye Circles! 

The Body Shop Lip Gloss in 'Raspberry': This is just if you want to brighten up your Face a bit, by adding a touch of Lip Gloss, this Lip Gloss is lovely, I might review it soon! 

My 'Pug Purse': I love this purse! The Pugs are super cute! But you always need a Purse in your Bag to carry around Money/Cards, e.t.c! 

Cath Kidston Mirror: Handy for applying your Concealer and Lip Gloss! 

Phone: Obviously you need to carry your Phone around with you!! 
The contents of my Bag fits in 'Snug as a Bug in a Rug!' Haha. So yeah, that is my 'What's In My Bag', I would love everyone reading this Post, to do their own, as I love reading these kinds of Posts, I'm so nosey! Thanks for reading and hope you enjoyed!

Byee!:)

The Body Shop: Earth Lover's Shower Gels! | Believe In Beauty

Hey!:) 

I was in The Body Shop the other day and overheard a Shop Assistant and Costumer talking about how the Earth Lover's Shower Gels have been discontinued. Looking on The Body Shop website just now, they are still on there, but not in the Shop...confused?! I was planning for today's Post, just to write a little bit about them, but I feel weird doing it if they've been discontinued! I'm going to do it anyway though, but sorry this is really pointless! 
I have tried 3 of the Earth Lovers shower gels and loved them all. Ages ago now I tried the 'Watermelon and Eucalpytus' shower gel and loved it. So the other day I picked up 'Lemon and Thyme' and 'Pear and Lemongrass', I love both! 

I think the Earth Lovers shower gels have really natural scents. They are not strong, but 
really nice, light and sweet scented. They linger on the Skin really well and last for a good amount of hours. They lather up really nicely, so you only need the tiniest bit ever. They are £5.00, which I don't think is too bad. The bottle is huge and lasts you for ages and £5.00 is really not too much to pay for a lovely Shower Gel, even if you just use it for a treat, now and again! 

The only bad thing about them is that, they are a tiny bit Watery. So when you tip the Bottle upside down, loads comes out really quickly and it's a waste! It is a bit annoying and I wish the formula was a tiny bit thicker! 

I really love these Shower Gels and don't want them to get Discontinued, I might stock up on the website online before they disappear forever. You can buy the 'Lemon and Thyme' one HERE and the 'Pear and Lemongrass' one HERE! Sadly, they no longer do the 'Watermelon and Eucalpytus' one, as that was my favourite one! 

Thanks for reading, even though this might have been a bit pointless. Hope you enjoyed anyway!

Lush Haul! #4 | Believe In Beauty

Hey!:)
L-R: The Comforter, Space Girl, Ickle Baby Bot and Creamy Candy. 
So today's post is going to be yet again another Lush haul, it only seems like yesterday I wrote one! There's 4 things, 3 things from 1 trip and 1 thing from another trip! I also recently got Honey Bee Bath Bomb, which I included in THIS post!
The 1st thing I got was 'Space Girl, Bath Ballistic', this is my favourite Bath Bomb from Lush, so anytime I go into Lush, I always like to try and pick it up! It smells lovely, has popping candy in and turns the Bath water a beautiful Bluey/Purple colour! The smell also lingers on your skin for ages. It also has a bit of Glitter in it, but this doesn't affect you in the Bath. Full review on this Bath Bomb HERE! Here is the LINK on the Lush website.
The 2nd thing I brought was 'The Comforter, Bubble Bar'. I've been wanting to try this for literally ages, but never got round to it and I was put off by the price. It's £4.25, which is quite expensive for a Bubble Bar! It's so pretty though, being such a nice Pink colour, I can't wait to see the colour the Bubbles turn in the Bath! It smells amazing too, it's like sweets! Also, how big is it?! It is literally huge...I can't get over how big it is, this is going to last me for ages! I will definitely be reviewing this soon! Here is the LINK on the Lush website.
The 3rd thing I brought was 'Ickle Baby Bot, Bath Bomb'. This is so cute and small! It smells really nice and I couldn't leave it in the Shop, as it just looked adorable sitting on the shelf. It's only £1.90, which is a bargain, I doubt it will be anything special, but we will have to wait and see! I will also be reviewing this in the coming future. It's so cute, I'm not sure if I can bring myself to use it! Here is the LINK on the website. 
The 4th and final thing, is 'Creamy Candy, Bubble Bar'. This is my favourite Bubble Bar from Lush (apart from Magic Mushroom, but you can't get that all year round!), and I just love it! My Mum got me it as a little treat and I was very happy! It smells amazing, it lasts for ages, it creates lots of Bubbles, lingers on the Skin and always makes my Bath happier and more relaxed! Me and my Mum both love this! I have done a review of this HERE! Here is the LINK on the Lush website. 

So that's everything I got from Lush. I haven't used anything from my Lush Haul #3 and I've only used 2 things out of my Lush Haul #2 and I still have my 'Ginger Bread House, Bubble Bar', from my Lush Haul #1, which was way back in October! I really need to start using things up from Lush, my collection and obsession is getting out of control! 

Hope you enjoyed! I'm going to try and take Picture's for an OOTD, and that should be up tomorrow, fingers crossed! Thanks for reading!

Byee!:)

My Storage Ideas: Nail Varnishes! | Believe In Beauty

Hey!:) 

I can't believe it is May already! Where did April go?! I hope you liked my Posts every day in April. Unfortunately, I won't be posting every day in May! I will try to post frequently though! So today, is going to be just a quick Post on where I store my Nail Varnishes. I'm not saying 'Go and store your Nail Varnishes like this right now!', I'm just showing you my way of storing them and if you want to copy, then go ahead! 
This is how I store my Nail Varnishes. I think it looks cute. I'm so happy that I can finally display my Nail Varnishes in a lovely way. For ages, they've been hidden under my Bed, whilst I've tried to find a nice way to store them, in my Room on show, now I have found it and I love it!  
 The lovely Vintage-looking basket, itself is from a Garden Centre. It was very cheap, I can't quite remember the price, but I think it was around the £2.00 mark. I really, really like it! It's a good size and fits all my Nail Varnishes in it perfectly. It is good quality and matches in my room. It has a Vintage looking affect to it and I just love the Love Hearts at the top. You could stand it on a Chest of Draws or Dressing Table (or somewhere else!) and it would look lovely. I'm still not sure where I'm going to place it in my Room yet, I'm very indecisive! The only problem is that, having a few wholes in the Basket, might make the Nail Varnishes fall out. I don't seem to have this problem though, which is good. I think you have to find that perfect way to place them!  Really happy with this Basket. I'd say that it's £2.00 well spent, to have a nice Basket, that matches my room, fits all my Nail Varnishes in and makes them look a bit more prettier! 

Hope you enjoyed this Post and maybe you've got inspiration to store your Nail Varnishes in a similar way?! Thanks for reading! 

Byee!:)
