SLEEK OH SO SPECIAL PALETTE

So it's been quite a while since I've last posted, but I do have a reasonable excuse! It was exam week at my school so I've busy revising and all that.. but enough about that!

I ordered online, a few things recently, from Superdrug, I seem to have a '2 monthly treat' from Superdrug! So I've been desperate for months to get the Sleek 'OH SO SPECIAL 658' eye palette, so that was definitely the thing that first went in my basket!




I normally find with products I've been wanting for so long that they never live up to the expectation I give them, this definitely didn't! They are easily the most pigmented eye shadows I own, BUY IT! You know you want to ;) The palette is now something i reach for everyday, even if I am wearing very minimalist make up.
I think what makes the palette so good in my opinion is the versatility that it comes with, there is 7 matte shades and 5 have a shimmery finish. I think the colours are really buildable with each other which creates a perfect smokey eye using the matte colours and sometimes when I'm feeling bold I might add a bit of a sparkle with the darkey purple colours. The palette have a big clear mirror which I sometimes use to apply all of my makeup and a little two ended sponge applicator which I find is a bit pointless being there.

LUSH REVIEW | SUNNY SIDE BUBBLE

Recently it was my birthday and one of the presents I was given was the Lush bath bomb sunny side bubble.
Lush's Sunny side bubble bath bomb £3.65 
I was waiting for the right moment to use this, so I could have a nice long soak in the bath and enjoy it fully. It's been in my drawer for a few weeks now and I thought the night before a week of exams was the perfect excuse to use it. 


I ran the bath and probably a bit to soon I put it in, but instantly it bubbled and started to melt away. 




It swirled around for a bit and the sparkles shrunk into a mist in the water. When I got into the bath I felt like I was sitting in golden water, to expensive to wash and relax in! The water was a goldish yellow and had golden cloudy things floating around, which looked beautiful!

I'm definitely going to get this again or ask for it maybe.. 

thanks for reading! xox
