Lush Bubblegum Lip Scrub | Review

Hello everyone today's post is going to be a review as I feel like I haven't done one in ages. Today's review is going to be based around the Lush Bubblegum Lip Scrub. You can find it at Lush and it retails for £5.50.

I believe Lush offer three flavours permanently and an extra one at Christmas time: Bubblegum, Popcorn and Mint Julips as the permanent line and Santa Kiss at Christmas. I love the concept of this product and it comes in really handy. Chapped Lips + Lipstick = lines in your lips, which is what nobody wants. Especially in the colder months with the cold breeze. But the lip scrub helps get rid of dead skin on your lips and exfoliate them to make them feel baby soft. I take a bit on my finger and then rub it onto my lips for a minute or two, and afterwards my lips are left feeling super soft, it also injects moisture to your lips without leaving a greasy residue. I always follow up with lip balm to keep them feeling soft all day long. The scrub also preps you lips perfectly for lipstick, and your lipstick then won't sink into the lines and fine cracks on your lips. I also find it helps my lipstick stay on for longer periods of time when I use the lip scrub beforehand. The plus with this product is the fact that it's edible and it takes just like bubblegum, so you can just lick it off if you wanted to!

However although the overall product is amazing I feel that it is a little pricey for what it is, it costs £5.50 and you get 25g worth of product. But in all fairness it does last a really long time, so you won't waste any. The actual product is really just flavoured sugar and although I love it it can be done yourself for a percentage of the price, I feel £5.50 is a little high for the product and something in the £2-£3 price range would be more reasonable.

Overall I really do like this product, and the result it gives for my lips. However I know that this could be copied alternatively at home for a fraction of the price and it's for this reason I am unsure whether or not I would repurchase it. Let me know your opinions on the Lush Lip Scrubs and whether you would repurchase them. Thank you for reading.

A Mothers Day Outfit

Dress // Topshop
Boots // Dorothy Perkins (no longer available)
Cardigan // New Look (no longer available)
Charm Bracelet // Pandora
Rope Bracelet // (made by myself)
Chord Bracelet // Light House Wonders

Hello everyone, and Happy Mothers Day! I hope you all had a great day spoiling your mums. As today was Mothers Day I thought I would show you the outfit I wore to dinner out. Today was a beautiful day so I thought I would dress a bit more girly than usual, and that doesn't mean you have to dress all in pastels yet! I wore this daisy printed dress from Topshop, that I recently picked up in the sale. It's perfect for spring as it is light and flowy. I paired it with some opaque tights and my brogue style ankle boots, which I love! I then kept the outfit neutral toned and went with an over sized cardigan, I've had this since forever. For jewellery I wore my silver charm Pandora because we were going out and some rope bracelets, this baby pink one I made myself. The dragon fly rope bracelet* I received from the lovely Light House Wonders, it's a beautiful cord bracelet with a dainty charm dragon fly charm on the end, I love it and wear it all the time. 

This outfit is perfect for days out in the spring and summer time. It adds a girly twist to an outfit and adds excitement to your outfit with its bold daisy print. I think keeping the outfit neutral toned, makes the daisy print stand out more and make it so that the outfit isn't too over powering, but a cute girly outfit. Thank you for reading and I hoped you enjoyed this post.

March Q&A

Hello everyone! I realised it has been a while since I did a Q&A on my blog so I figured I would do another one for you. I asked you all to ask me questions on Instagram and now I'll be answering them.

Favourite clothing items?

That's really hard! But I would probably choose my Topshop black Leigh Jeans, my Homies South Central top and my Brandy Melville black and white striped top. 

Who is your idol?

My idol is Demi Lovato, she is so inspiring. I look up to her for the fact that she has been through so much and keeps going and for her work with helping young girls with their insecurities.

Favourite TV show?

If you would have asked me this a few months ago I would have struggled with the answer, but now there is only one option: Pretty Little Liars.

Your close friends?

Pip, Christine, Lydia, Natalie *cough* *cough*, Harriet, Grace (even though she's my cousin), They are all amazing!!I don't know what I would do without them.

Favourite high street shop?

Probably Topshop although I do really like Forever 21 at the moment, it's super affordable and all of their stuff is really nice.

Do you think yourself as stylish and fashionable?

I would like to think I was stylish, but if I'm honest I tend to wear what I want whether it's in style or not. So I don't know?

Three Makeup items you can't live without?

My Maybelline the rocket mascara, the Maybelline fit me concealer and the natural collection eye shadow duo in mocha/latte which I sue to fill in my eyebrows.

What was the hardest thing you ever had to do?

Overcome my anorexia.

If you could only eat one thing for the rest of your life what would it be?

I was going to be all healthy and say like fruit, but then I realised I couldn't live without Hobnobs biscuits!

Why did you first start your themed Instagram?

I first started it because I was following so many themed accounts and wanted mine to be the same, and I have had it for eight months now.

Favourite YouTuber?

Zoella (of course) Velvetghost, Itsjudyslife, Connor Franta, FashionRocksMySocks, LibbyLovesMakeup13 and Bubzbeauty. I watch way to many videos and have way to many favourites!

Do you love @/mildredsinstagram?

Hell Yes.

Why do you love @/chlomelody so much?

BECAUSE SHE IS FAB.

Favourite makeup brand?

Drugstore would have to be Maybelline because most of my collection consists of it. As for high end it would be either MAC or Urban Decay even though they are both so expensive.

Those are all the questions I will be answering today, I hope you enjoyed this post. If you would like to be featured in future Q&A's then make sure to follow my Instagram, or leave them in a comment below. 

Spring Fashion Wishlist

Hello everyone as the weather is getting somewhat warmer and it's nearly summer, I find myself constantly looking for clothes that aren't black! I'm not having much luck, I therefore decided to make a wishlist of all the things I want to get my hands on for the warmer weather (all the things I have seen whilst online shopping!). There is a sort of theme going on with floral I know, but who doesn't love a bit of floral in the summer time. I am also really into experimenting with vintage fashion, which is again why there is a bit of vintage thrown in. Vintage and Retro are really making a comeback this year and they are bigger than ever, all fashion from 50s-80s are in. It's all about baby doll and shift dresses this summer too!

- Topshop Baby Blue Mom Jeans
- Vintage Black Levi Jeans
- Topshop Skinny Polo Crop Top
- Cresent Moon Choker 
- Forever 21 Perforated Slip-on Sneakers
- Forever 21 Daisy Dress
- Topshop Floral Kimono 
- Vintage Head Scarf
- Brandy Melville Kaitlee Skirt 

Those are some of the items I have been lusting over these past weeks and I will probably go and end up buying them this weekend too! Thank you all for reading and I would love to hear more items your are wanting to purchase this season, I'm always on the look out.
