Review: Lush Golden Wonder

Once upon five months ago, I got a bath bomb for Christmas from Lush: The Golden Wonder. I used this when I got back from Alton Towers, as I was freezing and could do with a good bath. 

This bath bomb smells amazing with notes of sweet orange and lime which really does create a lovely fruity aroma. I've seen that this product always get's rave reviews by others and compared to other bath bombs it is quite cheap. 

 (All pictures have been taken with my iPhone, so sorry for bad quality)

This bath bomb is huge, so moving it can be a little tricky as it is also covered in gold glitter which looks pretty, but it get's all over your hands when you pick it up. This bath bomb also quickly starts to fizz and burst into action with colours of blue, yellow and orange and then finally turns a pretty blue/ turquoise colour.

I think that if I didn't wait five months until using the product it would of been much better, don't get me wrong I still loved it. I did however notice that mine didn't have the little stars in, and again I think that might be because I purchased this in December and have only just got around to using it. 

A massive positive about this product though is that the beautiful colour, didn't stain or make any mess in the bath what so ever, once the water had been drained the bath was still white with not a single colored mark!

This product is only available at Christmas time and just writing this review is making me very excited for Christmas, as I will definitely be getting another one!

Alton Towers and OOTD!

Hello lovelies! I would just like to apologize for the lack in posts at the minute, as I have lost my SD card for my camera so I haven't been able to take any pictures, I have a blog post lined up, I just need the SD card the camera.

Now that, that's out of the way let's talk about today, so today I have been to Alton Towers! I go Alton Towers quite a lot, as I live quite close with it being an half an hour drive and I normally have an annual pass which means that I can get in for free. This trip however was the first one of the year and for my friends birthday.

I assume a lot of you who are from Britain have heard of the new ride that's called The Smiler, that was supposed to be open sometime last week... well it isn't open yet and we were really looking forward to going on it, so that was a let down, however when I first got to the park I got a text from my brother asking if I was Alton Towers and when I replied saying yes he started saying that he was as well, but he was working on The Smiler, as he is a painter and decorator and the railings needed painting, so I spent a lot of the day texting my brother and then I went to see him which was lovely.

The only downside about today would be the weather. It has not stopped raining all day, in fact as I write this post it is still raining which is a bummer. We still managed to go on all of the rides that we wanted to though and we even managed to get on nemesis three times! 

OOTD - (Sorry for bad quality pictures)

As it started raining pretty much as soon as I left the house I had to keep my coat zipped up, as I realized that if my top got wet then I would of gone a little bit see through which it already is slightly. I also wore a pink jacket underneath the coat just for another layer, as I knew that if I didn't wear something under the coat then I would get soaked and be freezing because the t-shirt and the coat isn't enough to keep warm, as when you;re going to a theme park you don't dress to look good you dress for the weather (Well, I do anyway haha) I kept everything else simple with black leggings, grey socks with small frills and black converse.

Coat - Primark 

Jacket - New Look 

T-shirt - River Island 

Leggings - New Look

Frilly socks - Primark 

Converse - Republic

My Beauty Wishlist

Hello lovelies, I haven't made a post in a while and since I am stopping painting my nails up until prom, I won't be making a nails of the week post since I need to strengthen my nails and nail varnish isn't exactly the best thing for nails, but one thing that I can do is come up with a wishlist, as I need to go shopping again to get things for my prom which is now less than a month away, eek! Before I start I would just like to say that non of these pictures are mine and all credit goes to their original sources, so here is a list of all the things that I wish to buy:

Katy Perry for Eyelure: Cool Kitty

I have never worn false eyelashes and I think these ones will be a good place to start, as I have heard nothing, but good reviews about these eyelashes or any other lashes by Katy Perry. From the pictures I have seen of these they do not look over the top, but yet they are well defined. The price of these is £5.95 and I think that these could easily be priced at a much higher price than that, as the quality seems so good from what I have read.

Rimmel London 5 in 1 Nail Care

Like mentioned at the top I need to strength my nails and this seems like a good product to do that, as it claims to be 5 in 1 which means has four other benefits other than strengthening my nails and to be honest I don't have a nail top or base coat I did buy one from collection 2000 a while back, but let's not go into that as it is a shockingly bad nail varnish and does nothing of what it claims to do. I will definitely purchase this and I can't wait to get my hands on it!


EOS Smooth Sphere Summer Fruits Lip Balm

This is another product that I have seen plenty of good reviews about, but sadly I don't think you can get them in Britain, if anyone knows if you can please tell me in the comments below! I always see pictures of these all over tumblr and wish that I could get one for myself, these are also supposed to be one of the best lip balm products about and I'm a huge fan of lip balms.

Zoeva - 231 Petit Crease

My make up brush collection is at a very respectable one at the moment, jokes. I feel like I need more brushes and I think this one must be the 2nd one to be added. I feel like this brush will be good for blending eye shadow something that I want to teach myself how to do.

Soap and Glory - Lid Stuff, Whats Nude?

Like I said before, trying to teach myself how to blend eye shadow and then I figured out that if I want to do that then I need to get a good eye-shadow and I think that this will be a good place to start. There are three matte colour's and one shimmer. It also claims that it 'won't flake, won't fade and won't crease' now I don't know if it's just me being gullible  but that sounds pretty good and the colour's are so pretty, so here it is on my wishlist.

I hope you enjoyed this type of post and if you would like to see more posts from me give me a cheeky follow and I might just follow you back, you may always see a haul in the near future, as I am planning to go shopping very soon and a few lot of pennies might get spent.

Guess who's been shopping?!

This morning I had to get up at stupid o'clock (but that's another story) to go shopping. When I say stupid o'clock I got woken up at 6, yes in the morning. We left the house at 9 and got into town at about quarter past. The first purchase was from Dorothy Perkins.

This is for my prom which is next month, it's just the right size as it's not massive, but it isn't tiny and it matches my shoes, haha! It's a envelope clutch that also has a chain, so it can be put on a shoulder which is a plus as the chain tucks neatly into the bag, but if you fed up of carrying you can just whip the chain out and put it on your shoulder, haha! It costs £20, but I got it for £16.00 and I have no idea why, we had no discount or anything, but got £4, but I'm not complaining. If you want to check this out you can here!

New Look

I've been after something like this for a while now and I did see this exact thing Miss Selfridge, but it cost £14 so when I found the same product in New Look for £6.99 it was a bargain! It's cheap and cheerful and exactly what I was looking for so I'm in that stage at the moment when you have something new and love it. I can't seem to find this on the website in Gold, but I can find it in Pink Gold and Silver, so if you still want a look, you can here!

Topshop

This lipstick just looks so cute! It's such a nice colour spring, as it isn't that bright, but is bright enough if you get what I mean, I haven't tried this on at all which I probably should have done, so I could have a bit more to talk about, but I didn't so you will just have to look at the looks as the packaging is also really cute, Topshop definitely have the best packaging for make up. If you want to check this out, you can here!

This is also for prom. It matches well with the bag and other accessories that I have bought for prom, it's small and quite simple and I think it will look good with my dress. It isn't over powering and it's just small and simple, but yet quite elegant. This costs £12.50 which I think is expensive, but I think everything in Topshop is expensive.

Evans

I hope you can see that alright. This is also another thing for prom. As you can see it has some silver crystal things and isn't anything to over the top, it's just simple and silver exactly what I was looking for. It cost £7.50 which I think is quite expensive. Either everything is expensive or I'm just really tight with money,haha.

Primark

This dress was to cute to leave behind. As you can see it's a light blue colour with small poka dots, also on the pockets at the top are bows. The buttons are wooden and I've just noticed that one of them on mine has broken in half, so I might take it back, you can't tell, but it's still broken, boo! This only cost £10 which is reasonable, this dress will look good in summer or in the warmer days of spring.

The only reason I bought these is for sleeping. These will be really good for when it gets warmer at night and just good for sleeping in. They cost £3 so that's really good as £6 for two pairs of shorts is a bargain! I don't really have a lot to say about these as nothing exciting will be happening whilst wearing these, only sleeping, haha!

I fell in love with this as soon as I saw it. The picture doesn't do it a lot of justice, but it's fab. I feel like this would be perfect for any festivals or going to a theme park. In fact it would be good for most things, but if the rain is shocking then I don't think that this is appropriate for that.

River Island

As soon as I saw this on the website I loved it, it's literally my perfect t-shirt. It's oversized, it's long, it has a cute design and it has turned up sleeves if that's the appropriate word, but 30% of the money goes towards breast cancer which makes it even more perfect. It costs £15 which I don't think is that bad, but seriously, I'm in love with this, you have no idea!

USC

 Notice I saved these beauties for last... so everyone that got bored and left halfway through, ha look what you're missing out on!:p Anyway, I may have mentioned that prom is next month and these will be the shoes that I will be wearing for prom, but they are beautiful! The heel is about 5 and a half inches and they cost £12, £12 THAT IS A BARGAIN!  They were supposed to be £30, but then they were in the sale for £15 and then when we paid for them they were £12! These are now the love of my life... I need to get out more...

Nails of the Week!

Here we are again a bit later than planned, but we're here it's time for Nails of the Week. This week the sun has come out and it's been a mini heat wave, so instead of going for a spring pastel like I was planning to I decided to go for a summer colour with Balearic cool from the head kandi range from Models Own. The colour is bright bright blue and I love having the bright colour on my nails, it's so pretty!

If you don't like having bright nails then you will hate this colour, as it is really bright if you haven't been able to tell this by the pictures. The colour however is really pretty and will be amazing in the summer, as it is so bright and bright colour's always look good in the summer.

April Favourites!

Considering we're nearly in double figures and I haven't done my April favourites yet, is a bit shocking, come on Hannah you're slacking! The reason I have put my favourites off for so long is because money is a bit tight at the moment, so I haven't had anything new throughout the month, so all of my favourites are old gems and some are not beauty related and you may think I'm very weird by the end.

Let's start off with the Bubblegum lip scrub from Lush

This stuff is a life saver I originally had it for Christmas and used it a couple of times around then, but I never really noticed a difference because I didn't apply it right. I recently decided to try it again after I saw a YouTube video of someone using it, so I tried it again and I was really pleasantly surprised at the results, it tastes delicious, as it is partly made from sugar, so it tastes and smells amazing. It is a little pricey at £5.25, but that could just be not liking to spend a lot of money, if you want to check you can here!

Next up is a product from Simple, it's the kind to skin cleansing facial wipes

This product will forever be one of my favourites, as it's just brilliant, it removes make up and keeps the skin fresh. I use this every morning and every night and it keeps my skin looking healthy and feeling healthy. I have sensitive skin and once when I was using a cheap brand of wipes they left my face burning and blotchy which was not good, let's just put it that way. These wipes are just amazing seriously  I have been using them for a good couple of years now and even my mum uses them, haha. Check them out here!

The next item is not beauty related in fact it is cereal. It's frosted wheats

When I was younger this was probably my second favourite cereal, as coco pops always won and then after a while I stopped having these, so when I went to Tesco a couple of weeks back I remembered that these used to be nice and that I had them when I was little, so I wanted to try them again and I'm so glad that I did. These are exactly what they say on the box they are frosted wheats, so it's basically wheat covered in sugar. Now I never normally have time to eat cereal in a morning, but ever since buying these I have made an effort to eat it and haven't missed a day yet. They're just so good and remind me a bit of my childhood.

Last favourite is a group/ band whatever you want to call them, it's Bastille

Not my picture

I'm really ashamed that I've only started listening to these recently, as they are amazing! My all time favourite song by them is Of the night, as it is beautiful. The other songs I like by them are Pompeii, Flaws and Laura Palmer, although I like all of the songs on the album. If you haven't heard anything by them yet then you definitely should and if they're not your type of music then...I don't even know, haha.
