Lush Haul




So as ye all know, I am OBSESSED with lush and love literally all their products! No joke I've never had a product from lush that I didnt like or I hated!

Just the smell of lush when you walk in makes you want to buy everything in the store. The people that work in lush are definitely the best shop assistance I have ever encountered, they're so nice and really have a passion for any product that they're talking about!

I've been washing some videos recently on Youtube and these products have been raved about by a lot of beauty you-tubers. I have been wanting to try them since I heard them being mentioned and they just sounded so amazing when the girl in Lush was explaining them to me, almost like I was in a trance!

Angels on Bare Skin
Iv'e been wanting to use a gentle and organic cleanser for my morning routine for ages now and when I went into lush for just a browse I definitely got this off an impulse buy. This cleanser has been very gentle on the skin and the ingredients are just amazing and of course all natural! I cant really give a final review of the cleanser as ive only been using it for a few weeks but im hoping ill keep on liking it. The ingredients include; Ground Almonds (Prunus dulcis) , Glycerine , Kaolin ,Water (Aqua) , Lavender Oil (Lavandula hybrida) ,Rose Absolute (Rosa centifolia) , Chamomile Blue Oil (Matricaria Chamomilla) , Tagetes Oil (Tagetes minuta), Benzoin Resinoid (Styrax tonkinensis pierre) ,Lavender Flowers (Lavendula hybrida) , *Limonene ,*Linalool






Grease Lightning
This is definitely a product I have loveeedddd! I have been using tea tree oil for about 2 years now and I've been feeling this it doesn't work as it use to I don't know if the product has changed or if its my skin not reacting to the tea-tree anymore. So when sales assistant mentioned this to me I was very intrigued, she explained that it has some tea tree and witch hazel in it which allows the flow of white blood cells to the troubled area and thus fighting the infection, It comes out as a gel and dry's over the problem area, it really does dry out the spot and works amazingly so far.


Rub Rub Rub
So I used this last weekend when I needed to take off the residue of my tan I had on during the week, I used it on wet skin so it seemed to be good as a scrub but I still had to go back with my exfoliating glove just to make sure I got everything off. In my own opinion I think if I used this on dry skin it would give a better and more intense scrub. It hydrates the skin amazingly which is something I didn't expect from this scrub!! This would be amazing as a once a week exfoliator just to get any dead skin off the surface of the skin, nothing too intense but will do the job.




Ro's Argan Body Conditioner
I've had three body moisturizers from lush and I've loved all three of them, they are so nourishing and do such a good job of hydrating the skin. Especially in these very cold winter months its key to hydrate the skin daily or if you have a really thick and nourishing skin conditioner like the 'Lush' products which I have reviewed on my blog these do a perfect job of nourishing the skin over night and leaving you with amazingly soft skin. This one has a real smell of roses, if you love this kind of scent then you're in for a real treat!



Hope ye enjoyed this quick skincare Lush Haul,

Blank Canvas Cosmetics

WHERE HAVE I BEEN? yes i know, no excuses i have been terrible! but i'm back for good!

This review is about a few brushes that i purchased around christmas time from Blank Canvas Cosmetics! I heard so many reviews from irish youtubers and bloggers about these brushes and I never really got the chance to order makeup online but i was so excited for this to be my first real purchase! The delievery was really fast, i'm gonna say like 4-5 days i believe. The website has a wide range of brushes and brushes sets and also eye shadow palettes and blush palettes. I was in aweeee!

I got 5 brushes and also a blush/contour pallete! I seriously love everything i got and i was so happy with the service and the quality of these brushes! I really like building my collection and i am just overall happy with the company.

My favourite brush that i got was the  'F22 HD DOME FACE BRUSH IN METALLIC PURPLE'. It is a really dense and compacted brush which gives a lot of coverage to your foundation and really buffs it into the skin instead of it just sitting ontop on the skin. It is also a rounded top so it can really fit and 'swirl' into the creases in our faces. Its also very soft and it is handmade from extra soft high quality synthetic fibers and whats even better? It is 100% cruelty free!!

Another face brush that i got was the 'HOT PINK F20 FLAT BUFFER BRUSH'. I use this brush for either my power to really make sure my powder it being pressed onto the face instead of moving around the product that's underneath. I also use it for foundation if im going for a more natural look as it isn't as dense and compact as the brush above. I first thought when i ordered this it would be a bit more compact but i am in no way disappointed as it makes the skin look so flawless.

The first eye brush i got was the 'E24 FLAT SHADER BRUSH' OMG! i cant even get over how much i love this brush, ever since i got it nothing else is as good as putting on my base eyeshadow. It evenly distributes the eyeshadow, it pacts it on so its vibrant and it's also extremely soft! I seriously need to get another few of these cause if i lost it i'd be devastated!

The  'E25/26 BLENDING DUO' brush is just amazing, I use the E26 to distribute the eye shadow into the crease and give it a little blend and then, just before i'm finished i go in with the other side to make sure there isn't a defined line. This blends my eyeshadow so beautifully like no other brush i have found and the E25 side is also good for powdering the under eye concealer and to get a defined/strong contour at the side of your face,This brush is so soft like all the others and this brush is made from natural goat hair.

And last but not least the 'F10 SMALL SOCKET BLENDER'. Since ive gotten this brush they have come out with a newer version called the 'E10 SMALL SOCKET BLENDER(SYNTHETIC VERSION)' This is now a holy grail product for me! It makes it so easy to get a defined crease and gets into those places that might be difficult to get with a normal blending brush. This brush is very soft and is a must for us girls that don't have a very defined crease.

As you can tell i am delighted with these brushes and there hasn't been any shedding during the 6 months i've had them. These brushes are extremely versatile and affordable! They are top quality and at such an amazing price!! The service was amazing and was such an ease, especially when you're not use to ordering products online, The website is outstanding, so clear and informational!
