Lush Feeling Younger Skin Tint

So after my last weeks post saying I had my first Lush experience , I've now dived in head first and bought more products, but probably not what you would expect as they are from the make up line. 




This absolute beauty caught my eye as soon as I walked in the store and I could not leave it behind. The Feeling Younger Skin Tint is described on the Lush site as, "  A light-reflecting skin tint made with oats, fragrant essential oils and cocoa butter for a gorgeous glow wherever you want it. Soothing oatmeal is combined with nourishing jojoba and almond oils as well as cocoa butter, and we blend in a pigment that reflects light. Use it on its own or under our Colour Supplements to give your face a dewy radiance."


 However, I saw it and only one word sprung to my mind- HIGHLIGHT! 
The light mousey consistency makes it perfect for applying on top of your favorite liquid foundation to give you the perfect, 'lit from within' look. 


At £12 it isn't the cheapest highlight in the world, but you do get 20g of product and considering the amount you need I'd be very surprised if I ever get through the whole pot. 

I am looking forward to mixing it in with my foundation, to see if it gives me an all over glowy look , I feel with this the possibilities are endless.

Weekend away in Edinburgh

My birthday was January 12th and this year I was lucky enough to be away for the weekend before with my other half. After a bit of umming and ahhing we opted for Edinburgh and definitely were not disappointed. I kinda failed from a blogging point of view and only got a few pics of the scenery, but thought I would upload them anyway.

















We stayed in the Premier Inn on Lauriston Place and it was absolutely brilliant, and only a 10 minute walk from town, so I would really recommend it. As you can see from the pictures it was bloody freezing and I was wrapped up the whole time. However, we didn't let the weather dampen our spirits and we walked all around, from, shopping on Prince's Street, to Edinburgh Castle and both the museum of Scotland and the Money Museum - we had a busy day!
Honorable mention for the weekend has to go to Ben's Cookies. I'm sure I have seen them on Instagram so when I saw the shop in town, I made Dan stop. One word- WOW! To be honest, kinda wish we hadn't tried them as now we know we can't get them in the north, its devastating but for a special away treat they were the best.

*Oh and that last picture is my beautiful new coat which was a birthday present I picked up over the weekend to - in love!

All in all our weekend was perfect from start to finish,  so if your thinking of a trip away for the weekend, add Edinburgh to your list.

Lush - First impressions

Now this is going to be some what of a controversial post as unlike, what seems like every blogger on the planet, up until last week I had never had, wait for it... A lush bath! 
I know, your all screaming at your screens, what have I been doing with my life. It's not that I have been living under a rock and never heard of Lush, but to be honest I could never justify, the what I thought of as very high price tags for essentially one bath. I mean £3.50 for one wash seems far too luxurious for me. I can't believe anyone smells that much!
However, this year I bit the bullet and asked for a few bits and bobs to test out, to see if I really was missing out on the creme dela creme of bathing. 

As soon as I got home at Christmas I thought it was time to indulge and throw in one of my Christmas treats and ... am I converted?

Well to be honest I'm not sure, I did really enjoy the smell and the fact that the bubbles didn't irritate my eyes at all so I could wash my face. However, I couldn't get over the price and I really don't think I can justify these all the time. As a treat or even better a gift, I'm game, but I just don't think I will be a converted "lushy" I'm afraid!


Am I wrong, is there one Lush product I simply have to try to change my life? Please let me know I am always game for being proved wrong.
