Collective Haul | Part 2

Continuing with this collective haul, I have purchased even more products recently! 


I am a massive Lush lover, every time I go to Liverpool I can never resist going in to the shop, and I never leave empty handed... I'm not sure if its the indulgent fragrances, or the sheer excitement of watching an effervescent explosion in your bath that draws me to Lush, but whatever the reason, I can't get enough! 

Seeing as it was almost Bonfire Night when I bought these products, I took the opportunity to buy a Bonfire Night inspired bath bomb; the Sparkler. It's Rose Jam scented, and smells absolutely amazing and soothing. It's also laden with micro-glitter, which ties together the "sparkler" theme of this bath bomb. Luckily the glitter doesn't stay on your skin and remains in the bath, meaning you don't emerge looking like a sparkler yourself!

The second thing I bought from Lush was the Lord of Misrule bath bomb, although I haven't actually used it yet! However, the Lush website describes it as "hypnotic swirling silver luster is released and the deep green exterior soon gives way to a rich, wine-colored center" which sounds absolutely magical! There's also popping candy in it, and I am beyond excited to get a bath with this beauty!

YouTuber and blogger Zoella, who you can find here (YouTube) and here (Blog) recently released a range of various beauty products, appropriately named Zoella Beauty. I am a massive fan of Zoe, and fangirled slightly when her range was released... it was only a matter of time before I picked up a few of her products! 

The first thing I was sold on was the candle, cutely named "Let's Glow". Candles are one of my most favourite things in the world, I'm forever burning them! It has a very calming scent, with white wood, vanilla and floral tones, and I simply love it!


I also bought the Creamly, Madly, Dreamy body lotion, which has a similar scent to the candle. It's very indulgent, and leaves your skin feeling silky soft and smelling simply lovely. Another thing I love about these products are the packaging! It's adorable and cute, and the shiny gold writing makes them appear extra special!


The next two products are things I'm very excited about... The first being a dry shampoo by COLAB. These dry shampoo's are new on the shelves, and being a fan of the Batiste dry shampoo's, I decided to give them a go. I bought a large can in the scent Rio, a tropical fragrance, which smells amazing! These dry shampoo's, unlike many others, don't leave that chalky white residue on your hair, nor do they flake and make you look like you have severe dandruff (I've tried products that have done this, and it doesn't look great...). All in all, I love it, and will definitely be purchasing more in different scents!


Finally, a product that I've wanted to try for a while, is the Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water. I read about this product on my friend Alice's blog, which you can find here (it's an amazing blog - go check it out!), and knew I had to try it! I was fed up of using my Body Shop Cleansing Oil on a daily basis, and I felt that using facial wipes wasn't benefiting my skin at all. A change was needed in my skincare routine, and I'm so happy with the results!
It removes all of my makeup in a few swift sweeps across my face, and my skin has cleared up dramatically since using it. My skin feels instantly refreshed and clean, and I'm simply in love with it!


That's all for my collective haul! What products have you bought recently that you love? Leave a comment and let me know!

Halloween Movie Night!

Last Friday it was Halloween, and instead of sitting around doing nothing like I did last year, I decided to have a small get together with a few of my friends.
Instead of having a normal move night, most of us made the decision to make the most of Halloween and dress up (except for Cat!).

We ended up watching "You're Next" which was actually more funny than scary, which I was very pleased about because I am terrified or horror films!

Pizza was eaten, more films were watched, and it was a great night!
