Candy Mountain

Hello my lovelies! I did a spot of Lush shopping the other day, and picked up a few pieces from their Christmas range! I thought I'd review 'Candy Mountain' for you today!

Whenever I go into Lush, like most other people I can be seen trawling through the crates trying to sniff out the best of their products. When I picked up candy mountain, I was certainly impressed with the scent, a big factor when determining which products I should buy. It has a very sweet scent, much like snow fairy shower gel (a lush classic). It definitely has the signature Lush aurora about it. I'm not brilliant at describing scents, but I definitely think this would appeal to anyone with a 'sweet nose'!

Another thing I really love about Candy Mountain is the way it leaves bath water! 

When I used the bath product, it left my bath water feeling (and smelling) really silky and luxurious. One of the many things I love about Lush products is the fact that you actually feel like they're doing something! I also like the fact that my skin is left really nice and soft for a day or so after! 

It's a looker too! A pink and white sparkly mountain has to be a winner in anyone's book? It doesn't make you bath water bright pink, but that makes it easier to clean your bath! It ends up with a subtle tint, perfect for relaxing! Unbelievably, Candy Mountain is one of Lush's cheapest products, and therefore well worth the money!

Superdrug Vitamin E Hot Cloth Cleanser

Hello my lovelies! I recently picked up the Superdrug Vitamin E hot cloth cleanser, and wanted to share my thoughts on it with you!

I was on the hunt for a decent cleanser that i could use to remove my makeup with, and this definitely gets the job done well. It's a really thick creamy texture, which in my opinion is better. You only need a small amount to buff into your skin, in order to get rid of any makeup/dirt! Another plus point is that it smells just like sun cream, which i love. It reminds me of summer, something which seems oh so far away! I also really like he fact that the product itself is high in antioxidants and vitamin E, which are both really beneficial for the skin!

In the box, you also get a really handy muslin cloth (which can be expected with a hot cloth cleanser) which is really good, and washes like a dream. 

The packaging isn't my favorite however, as to me it looks quite clinical. But i think i can look past the rather mediocre packaging, as the product is just that great! When i bought the hot cloth cleanser I payed £4.99, however I'm aware that this product comes on offer a lot, so if you're looking to buy it, but you're not desperate i'd definitely hold back until i comes on offer. But, i definitely think its worth full price anyways!

Favorite Product Of October!

Hello my lovelies! So i'm thinking of starting a section on my blog, where i tell you my favorite product of the month, and here is Octobers!

 As you know, the other day i reviewed a lipstick from collection (HERE) It's quickly become my favorite beauty product of October. I've been using it with a high pony tail, a tartan scarf, and some brown lace up boots. I really think it's my perfect autumnal lip colour, and if your on the lookout for a fall lipstick, i recommend you try this one!

Rimmel Apocalips

Hello my lovelies! As you probably know, the Rimmel apocalips lip lacquers have been raved about time and time again. I decided it was time I bit the bullet, jumped on the band wagon and tried them out!

Luna is the pale peachy shade pictured in the photograph. The colour is extremely orange toned, which could suit your skin down to the ground! Sadly, it doesn't suit my skin very well, as I am fairly tanned, and I end up looking like I have a bad case of concealer lip! I would definitely say that this colour would look better on fairer skin. When applied only once 'Luna' appears very streaky and patchy, which isnt what you want. Personally, I let each coat dry and then build it up layer at a time to get the opaque lip I'm looking for. However, when the product is built up on your lips the quality really shines through. They're not sticky, and don't wear off for hours!

The other apocalips is 'Apocaliptic'. I picked this up from Pound world! So it was a right old bargain! But this one is actually my favourite of the two! First application allows for an opaque coat first time round, and I end up with the glossiest plumpest looking lips. Unlike a lot of bright lip products, this one doesn't run into the creases around my lips, it says put. I'm pretty sure this shade has blue undertones too, because it makes my teeth much whiter than they naturally are, which is obviously a bonus! Overall, I think its one of my top five lip colours!

I love the packaging of the apocalips. Especially the lids. The geometric pattern, really gives the futuristic feel that I think Rimmel are aiming for. Another thing I really like, is that the bottle is transparent in places, which means you can see the true colour of the product with little difficulty! This makes it easier to find the right shade to put on in those dark winter mornings! The contrast between the black, and the colour of the product really makes the apocalips pop!

Pricing is fairly decent too. At £6.49, i can definitely see myself purchasing some more in the future as they're just that great. 

Leave me some colour recommendations in the comments!
