Oh So Rosie!

So which lucky person got invited to two Lush events?! Me! The Crawley event was more focused on Chrsitmas whilst the Portsmouth one was slighly more focused and themed around Halloween - you can read that post   here .    One thing which I loved about the  Crawley event was that it was a lot smaller and it was with bloggers than I know and follow, so it made the event kind of more personal if that makes sense? As I mentioned in the Portsmouth post Lush have released more naked products in the forms of shower gels and body lotions. We spent time listening to why Lush have done this. They also explained how the packaging of the product is the most expensive part. So by removing the packaging element they can use the money saved from the packaging in the actual product, which in theory means as the consumer we are getting more quality ingredients for our dolla.  Bath bombs are a massive part of Lush along with bath bomb demos...

I’ve been blogging very much part- time for a few years now. And most recently I often think what should I blog about.  I love skincare and makeup but I’m also fussy. I would prefer and save up and buy the palette that I’ve been lusting over for months, than stock up on cheaper brands that I know within a year I will throw out because the product just is not working for me. Within this attitude I have a slight problem, I never have anything to blog about, and kind dislike the throw away society we live in. If I brought a lot of cheaper brands then I could probably blog like every other day, but as I’ve said I would be throwing out a lot. The same goes with fashion, however from fashion posts I've written they don’t seem to do that well on my blog but they do very well on Instagram. But also I can't justify two new outfits a month for blog purposes. Cuz this girl has got bills to pay and a wedding to pay for. I also find that we put a lot o...

I was lucky enough to be invited to the Lush Portsmouth Halloween event; it was also mixed with Christmas as well.  I met up with Katie from Katie Kirk Loves and we went around together, if you haven't been to the Lush Portsmouth store then you should, it's the biggest store I’ve been to bar Oxford Street. The staff were so lovely and they had all dressed up for Halloween, there were also vegan sweet treats to nibble on. As well as drinks with edible glitter in them, which was pretty cool. Ectoplasm doing its thannng Lord of Misrule (I think) We got a chance to make monsters out of  ‘ Fun ’  with the chance to win a prize; I was super lucky and actually won (something which never happens). In side my prize bag was a Monsters ’  Ball Bath bomb, Lord of Misrule Bath bomb, a Pumpkin Bath bomb and an Ectoplasm jelly bomb. This has given me the chance to try all the Halloween products as every year I miss the Halloween bath bombs and go straight to the...

Maybe I should just change my blog to a Lush blog because (surprise, surprise)I have another Lush review. A few years ago Lush brought out the hot oil treatment masks. I tried a few of them at the time and whilst I did feel they worked they were massive pain to get out, to the point where 3 shampoos would only just removed the product. However the hot oil treatments have been re-formulated, so I thought I would try the product again to see if the product (which had amazing potential) had finally forfilled it’s potential. First off I love the stick which has diagrams of how to use the mask on it and Lush have ditched the cardboard packaging around the block of the solid oil.  Having read the instructions online it said to fill to the top of the mug, but leaving some room. The solid oil melted very quickly, something, which from memory of the previous ones took a lot longer.  Whilst I was reading the instructions online I read some reviews and some people were s...

Oh guys, another month and another favourites. Where is this year going? Lets discuss what I've been loving for this month! Also as a tiny side-track, don’t you find that favourites take forever to write? I don ’ t know I struggle to keep things short and sweet sometimes, and I find it takes me a little longer to write these kind of posts, but anyway. September has been a busy one and here is my round up.  I mentioned on my instagram that I was loving this Jo Malone baby fragrance. There is just something so comforting about the Wood Sage and Sea Salt scent. And I don’t know why, maybe it reminds me of home and living on an island. As much as I love and I am using it pretty much every other day I am wondering whether to get the candle as it is a little more of a home scent.  Sea salt sprays I always find these to be a little hit or miss. However the Lush Sea Spray Hair mist is a winner for me. I tend to now use it when my hair is damp and then finish off ...
