Hello!
I am sorry but me and Maddie will not be collabing monthly anymore as we haven't found the time to, plus blogging together is quite inconvenient as its more of a solo job, but please still do check out her blog as it is probably my favourite! (haha)

Collective Haul
Hello!
Welcome back to my blog! Last weekend I did a lush bath bomb haul and today I have another haul for you!
Also, please excuse the photos I have taken as they are not as good as they could be because I didn't use my phone to take them, next week expect better photos!
I hope you enjoy this post.
The first item I picked up was a thin jumper from Topshop and it was in the sale. I saw this jumper last week, however was dissuaded by the price, but it now had £18 off the original price; obviously I could not resist!
I then picked up this pink strapped, rose gold watch and I was mesmerized by how gorgeous it was and the price! The watch was only £12.99 ( a very good price) and it doesn't look cheap at all. I bought it from New Look, and this was sadly the only item I bought from the shop.
The pink and the rose gold elements really go well together and are very subtle and will go with most outfits.

The first item I picked up was a thin jumper from Topshop and it was in the sale. I saw this jumper last week, however was dissuaded by the price, but it now had £18 off the original price; obviously I could not resist!
As this jumper is quite thin- but thick enough to not be see-through- it is perfect for a transitional season like spring and can easily be matched with high-waisted black jeans or leggings.
Two things that I love about this jumper are that the sleeves come in on the wrists, and are elasticated- I think that is quite cute and would look perfect with a watch- and that the back doesn't have the same pattern that is on the front.
From the back, it gives the impression that only the sleeves are the forest green, flowery pattern; ultimately not making the jumper too busy. I liked that the black back really made the jumper feel complete.
I bought the jumper in one size bigger because I found that the sleeves were quite short when I tried it on, and I wanted the jumper to swing from my hips when I walk as it really emphasizes the pattern.
I was rather pleased with this purchase as I saved quite a bit of money, which then let me buy these next items.
I then picked up this pink strapped, rose gold watch and I was mesmerized by how gorgeous it was and the price! The watch was only £12.99 ( a very good price) and it doesn't look cheap at all. I bought it from New Look, and this was sadly the only item I bought from the shop.
The pink and the rose gold elements really go well together and are very subtle and will go with most outfits.
The detail on the watch face is so beautiful as the flowers really tie in the theme of the watch. I would recommend looking at some of the watches from New Look as they are probably some of the prettiest I have seen in a while! The watch fits perfectly on my wrist, and as the strap isn't too thick, I don't have the problem of worrying about my wrist feeling sweaty.
After picking up that item, I went to lush again and picked up three bathbombs- like usual.
This time I bought my all time favourite; dragons egg which is a sweet bathbomb that smells like lemon sherbet and lot's of citrus scents.
If I am remembering correctly, dragons egg is only £3.65 and I think that is a fantastic price for this bath bomb as it is one of the larger ones- so you can have bigger baths- and doesn't loose it's scent.
Another bathbomb I picked up was Twilight, and the scents were similar, but twilight has a mild sweet scent, mixed in with a toffee or caramel. I have never used this one so I am very excited to.
It is said to help with sleep with the lavender scent so it is perfect for a relaxing night in or a pamper evening. Your bath turns a deep purple with this bath bomb, like the night time sky.
The Last bathbomb I picked up was Fizzbanger, which like twilight, I have never used before. The three bathbombs I picked up had very similar scents, but fizzbanger was more fresh and has popping candy in.
I could smell cinnamon in it too and it is very soothing for your skin and makes it feel very moisturized. I could also smell sweet apple in it, so it is obviously a fruity bath bomb.
Now, the last item I picked up was from boots. I bought the Soap & Glory: Face Soap and Clarity, Vitiamin C Facial wash. This was £6 for 320ml, some could argue that that is a bit pricey, but I was interested to try it as I have very sensitive skin and struggle finding a face wash that doesn't give me a rash or swollen eyes (which is what I got from Boots hypo allergenic wipes) and decided I would give it a shot.
I was very surprised that when I used it last night, I found that I didn't need to moisturize after, which is the opposite to what I have to do when I use The Body shop: Green tea facial.
The scent of the facial wash was very sweet and relaxing, it was the perfect amount.
When using this, I found I only had to use a small squirt of it as that would cover my whole face. Also, the face wash does take of makeup very easily, so I recommend buying this instead of splurging on a very expensive remover.
I really hope you have enjoyed reading this post and I will see you with another blog post next week!

Lush: Bath bomb haul
Hello!
I thought I would show you my new bath bombs that I got on a recent trip to a different city! You can still buy all of these bath bombs, and I recommend you to buy some as they smell absolutely gorgeous, and don't cause irritation!
To start of, I thought I would say that I have very sensitive skin, and it gets irritated a lot, so finding a shop, like lush, which doesn't irritate my skin was sure to put a big smile on my face. Also, lush do not test on animals which is one of the reasons why they suddenly became popular as it attracted different groups of people.
The first bath bomb I picked up was Avobath as it is one of my favourites, as it smells so sweet with the prolonging lemon scent. I think it is very similar to Dragons Egg which has a lemon smell too, with other similar sherbet scents. The bath bomb itself is a generous size so it is perfect for those who have larger baths!
The bath bomb leaves my skin feeling nourished and moisturized as I feel it makes the bath water-that it turns green- softer due to the mashed avocado in the product.
Overall, it is consistently up to the standards I would expect, and never fails to disappoint me!

The Next Bathbomb I picked up was Space Girl, which I had never bought before, so was very excited to try. Even though the worker in the shop told me it had grapefruit in, all I could smell were sweet flowers, not at all like roses, but a very sweet flowery scent. However, I could smell the grapefruit, which was very strong too and another citrus scent too, which I couldn't figure out.
The only thing I would change about the bathbomb would be the size; I would make it bigger! It is an average size but I think it would be so much better if it were slightly bigger. (Anybody else agree on this?)
The Last bath bomb I bought was Big Blue as one of the workers overheard me talking to my mother about having dry skin, and recommended this as it had seaweed in it, which was apparently very good for dry skin. The Product smells like a weak lemon and lavender, as the two scents would probably not go the best together as they would contrast too much, and the lemon helps to sooth the mind- which I DEFINITELY need at the moment!
The only thing I am worried about is that there may be too much seaweed, which somebody had said previously on their website, as I'm not sure about you but, I'm not the biggest fan of seaweed getting tangled between my toes![?]
Thank you for reading this post!

Collection Eyes Uncovered Nude Palette: Review
Hello!
Sorry it has been so long since I last posted, unfortunately I was having a love- hate relationship with blogging, so I took a break.
But I am back!
Today I will be reviewing the Collection Eyes Uncovered Nude Palette. My friend Hannah, who has a blog, also has this palette and I thought it was gorgeous and a key necessity for my growing eye shadow collection!
Going to my local Superdrug, I walked over to the Collection stand and was on the hunt for this palette and found it almost immediately, I was overly-excited about the price too as it was only £3.99 and couldn't wait to experiment with the different neutral shades.
When I got home, I started to get my Real techniques brushes out to apply the eye shadows on to my eyelids. The eye shadows were surprisingly good for £3.99 as they didn't powder on to my eyes, instead the eye shadow applied smoothly and blended excellent into the other shades to create a more gradual look.
I think this is a fantastic palette for people who are new to makeup- like myself- and to those who want a more natural subtle look.
Even though the palette does come with a small double sided brush, I used the Real tecniques BASE SHADOW brush as I knew it would be a lot better and is softer on your skin, rather than using a hard sponge brush.
The shades (from left to right) are called:
White Chocolate, a pale cream shade, which is also good for highlighting.
Buttercream, a slightly darker cream shade with elements of pale gold browns in.
Biscuit, it is perfect for a light base shadow as it brightens your eyes up.
Chocolate Milk, I use this one for working into the crease as it blends nicely to create a lighter smokey eye.
Brown Sugar, I mostly use this for going over the Chocolate Milk shade for two layers, which balances it out on the eyelid more when blending.
Espresso, I haven't used this shade much as I have quite pale skin and it is very pigmented and is too dark, but it is perfect for a smokey eye on somebody who is looking for a sharper finish, or somebody with darker skin.
