Lush - Big Blue Bath Bomb Review

Thats a lot of B's for one review title. I've been a bit on/off the blog these past few days, much to my annoyance but I've been pretty busy doing a 7 day week at work hasn't been the best for my motivation to do anything other than sleep.

But I'm back now....

Big Blue Bath Bomb - Lush - £3.25 - BUY 

If you read my blog you'll know that recently I mentioned this gem of a bath bomb in my Ultimate Bath To Relax Pulled Muscles which you can read about here

This was recommended to me from the girl in Lush as she said it contains sea salt which is great for softening the skin and smelt of sea weed which is really soothing and at the time, it was all I was after in my bath. I pretty much fell in love with the scent as soon as I dropped it in my bath.

- The photos I took seem to make the Seaweed looks disgusting, but I promise you it was lovely -
 

 
The bomb turned the bath a bright vibrant blue and it stayed this way throughout the entire running of the bath. I often find the more water in the bath the lighter shade you end up with, but this stayed amazing!!

I'll admit, she mentioned it had Sea weed in it in the store but I was in a huge rush to get back to work and thought 'I'll be fine'....it is filled to the brim with Sea Weed, This kind of weed is packed full of minerals and vitamins inclding Iodine which helps your metalbolism...hows that for a bath!! I think if the scent wasn't so soothing and relaxing I'd of hated this but it was pretty cool effect to the bath and I kinda felt like a mermaid and if theres anything any girl should do in life its feel like a mermaid at least once!!!

The only real downside to this bomb is the seaweed once you've stopped being your own personal lagoon...you need to spend a good 5 minutes getting all the seaweed out of there but other than that, for £3.25 I think this will be a constant re-purchase from me now!!

as always..heres the low down on just what to expect....

Have you tried the Big Blue? Or any other bathbomb you'd recommend as I love an awesome bath!!!?

Tanya Burrs range hits Superdrug stores

When I started blogging properly 5 months ago, I didnt know of any bloggers. I know a lot of people read blogs, watch vlogs then get hit by the bug but not me. I simply have a Journalism degree under my belt and a love for all things fashion/beauty.
If I only had 2 readers I'd be happy as I'm doing this solely for me and to keep up with what I love doing.

However, a few months ago I by chance saw a video of Zoellas and then Tanya Burr and like the rest of you, I was hooked. I didnt go crazy for the make up range as I don't like purchasing make up online when I've not seen it however, it was recently announced her Lipglosses and Nail Polishes were to launched in 200 Superdrug stores nationwide this Wednesday on April 9th.

I will be posting this week my top picks from the range rather than doing so today as I'm lucky that they're coming into the Derby store whilst I'm working so I will of course, be picking up some for myself.

Check out the stores her collection will be coming too.

Are they coming to a store near you??
If you've tried any of her products yourself, please do let me know as I'm yet to see anything up close!!

Vaseline Rosy Lips Review

It doesn't take a genius to know that Vaseline is one of the most trusted, used and in the UK, needed parts in most peoples lives.

This sounds a bit OTT but most people will have used a tub of Vaseline at some point in their lives weather you're a user until you've scraped the last bits of the tub, continuously lost pots or like me, are completely useless at remembering to pack one and then realise you need one so go out and buy yet another to add to the collection.

This happened...again to me quite recently and I was happily suprised when I saw this Vaseline sat on the shelves in my local Poundworld

 Vaseline Rosy Lips - £1 - Poundworld

I thought for a quid, this was perfect and great to try out but oh was I wrong.
 As an overall product it was very much vaseline, it did what I neede it to and soothe my lips but the product itself was awful.

I didnt personally like the Rosy effect that it gave to my lips as you apply vaseline wih your finger meaing it then left my finger an awful rosy colour however, the thing that let this down for me was the taste.

I thought I'd give Rose and Almond Oil a try, I didnt think it'd be that bad but it wasnt until I put it on that I remembered how much I hate rose (I'm aware that sounds so so stupid) but rose is such an aquired taste, and I forgot that it wasnt for me.

So much so that I don't actually want to show you what its like on the lips for review purposes as it makes me feel so sickly.

If you're a fan of rose then I guess technically you might really like this but for me, this is just a product thats going to sit in my drawer.


If you have any ideas of any other uses I could get from this then please let me know below??? Have you tried this version of Vaseline?

Let Loose in TK Maxx

TK Maxx is a very 'marmite' kinda shop - I think you either love it or you hate the piles of endless clothes, shoes, bags and make up!!

For me, I grew up hating it - probably because my mum did, shopping was boring when I was younger and I didnt know designers etc etc.

However, as I've got older I've realised that occasionally you can find a complete steal in there. I'm quite unfortunate that in Derby, my local TK Maxx isn't at easy reach so good news for my bank account, but not for my lust for bargains!

I get that most items are there as they're no longer in season/slightly damaged or just no longer needed by said brands - this being said I'm not really one for designer clothing when its released as I'm not made of money and my size is so up and down happy high street finds are just my fave!

So after a few weeks of mentioning I want to go, I made Jamie drive me to Kingsway Retail Park to have a good old browse.

Since blogging I've become so much more aware of brands and who to look out for and even if I couldn't tell you a single product, if I see a name I'll probably recognise it from somewhere so I was hugely on the look out for brands, there was some lovely stuff but I'm still quite picky for example: Bayliss and Harding are amazing but you can get them on offers/deals in a lot of high street chains so it wasnt something I felt was worth the TK Maxx purchase.

--- Beauty reviews will be fully reviewed in the near future once I've had time to try and test them.

The website for TK Maxx is very hit and miss so the products don't often reflect whats in each individual store so I havent been able to do links at these prices I'm afraid, but I'd still say check out the website here to see what you can find but the stores are often better!

Nip + Fab - Detox Blend Bath Soak - RRP: £8.99 Bought for: £2.99
Nip + Fab Detox Blend Body Scrub - RRP: £9.99 Bought for: £2.99

This is a brand I've heard so so much about and I love the packaging, I love their claims and I've heard amazing things so for £3 each I thought this was very much worth it! They both smell wonderful, I have a huge thing for tea tree as it smells so fresh and is such a natural wonder that I can't help but love it!

Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream - RRP: £22.50 Bought for: £14.99 

I've heard the best things about this Elizabeth Arden Product that it does wonders for your skin so now we've got hotter weather and my T Zone likes to dry out I'm hoping to give this a shot to make it into my re-buy list! I've had a smell of this already and its gross so I'll be intrigued as to my final thoughts!

Argan Magic - Restoration Hair Mask - RRP: £12.99 Bought for:£5 (sale)

I've been after a hair mask for too long now as I'm growing out my colour and its such a pain and my hair is looking awful but it needs to be done! I'm hoping this mask will just give a burst of life back into my hair but I shall soon see!!

Vans - RRP: £52 Bought for: £29.99

If my blog title doesnt give it away, I adore my Vans and after the realisation (and pain) recently that two of my pairs just arent what they used to be anymore and pretty much break away at any given point, I have decided to make it my mission to buy some new ones. For £30, I can't go wrong with these - They're also my other two pairs colours combined into one - which was more coincidence than planned.

Whats been your best bargain from TK Maxx? Let me know below what other brands you've seen there so I know who else to hunt for next time I go in!!
