Lush In Action #1 | Luxury Lush Pud

I recently picked up quite a few bits from Lush, because their limited edition Christmas stuff is just simply the best. I actually posted a haul of everything I bought on my YouTube channel (and you can watch that here), but I thought it would be a cool idea to show you how some of them actually look when you use them! So alas we have a mini series which I've titled 'Lush In Action' where I will do just that! 

The Luxury Lush Pud bath bomb is described as being a twilight-scented luxury. It is a calming lavender scent and soothing pastel colours that float atop the water. Basically, it is gorgeous and it smells divine. The water goes all different colours, but then settles to be a berry red shade. This bath bomb also has glitter in, which I didn't realise until I noticed that my bath water was sparkling and so was I. It's the perfect little Christmas bath bomb to use before bed and I loved using it! 

You can buy one for yourself here or just pop into any Lush shop before Christmas comes!

A Naughty Mecca Purchase

Left: Dragon Girl, Right: Luxembourg
The other day I placed a naughty little order online at Mecca and treated myself to two NARS lip pencils. Side note: these two colours may or may not have been totally enabled by Taylor Swift after she revealed which two reds she often wears. Oops. I picked up Dragon Girl which is a velvet matte, and Luxembourg which is a satin finish. They are both absolutely stunning and I am in love. No doubt they will be featured in a video sometime in the near future, so keep your eyes peeled for that. I haven't worn either of them out yet, but when I swatched them they were creamy and pigmented and went on like a dream. Honestly though, what more would you expect from NARS? If you have any other colour recommendations please let me know in the comments. I'm keen to build up my collection!

Zoella Beauty

Let's just get the soppy moment out of the way first okay...I'm almost in disbelief over the fact that I am sitting here writing this post! I remember when I first started watching Zoe's videos and reading her blog a few years back, and now to be holding some of her very own products in my hands is incredible. She has worked so hard and I could not be prouder! Okay, soppy moment done...for now.

I ordered a few bits from the range from FeelUnique, because they are the only ones who will ship to Australia as no stores here stock her range. First off, can we please take a moment for the packaging. Oh my, it's beautiful. It is so totally Zoe, and I love that. It's fresh and simplistic, yet still has that cute factor about it which I just love. Next thing on the list is the scent. It's amazing. Everything has the same fresh, but floral, scent and I am a fan! It's such a gorgeous pick-me-up scent that instantly makes you feel clean and lovely. So far I have used everything except the fizz bar. The lotion is moisturising and not at all greasy, the bath soak/shower cream works great as both, and the candle makes the room smell lovely and burns down well. In the near future I'll be doing a little pamper video on my YouTube channel so be sure to check back soon to see these products in action! 

If you're able to, I absolutely recommend picking these up because they are just gorgeous products that won't break the bank, but will make you feel a million dollars!

Lust Have It! | October Box

Nothing beats a pretty new beauty box arriving at your doorstep! There's always something very exciting about opening it up and seeing what goodies are inside that's never not exciting. The October Lust Have It box has some goodies inside that you can own too, just visit their website www.lusthaveit.com.au to place your order! You can also use the code SAMINDIGO to receive $5.00 off your first box. Go on, you know you want to...

Now onto what is actually inside! The first thing to catch my eye was the Montagne Jeunesse Glaycial Clay Spa face mask. This is a sheet mask, which has the product soaked into it, or possibly on top of the sheet. I'm not quite sure because I've only ever used sheet masks that are soaked with product rather than a clay one, so we'll see how this one goes. I'm excited though, I love a good face mask. Next is the Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse, which is a multi purpose oil. I've never used something like this before, but am willing to give it a go. The So Susan Intense Eyeshadow Palette looked beautiful, and I'm eager to use it and see how they apply. Sadly when I swatched them they weren't as pigmented or creamy as I was expecting, but we'll see how they go on the lid. I love a good eyeliner, and the Inika Certified Organic Eyeliner in the shade Black Caviar looks good. When I swatched it, it looked like it was creamy and opaque in colour, but once again I'll have to see how it applies. Looks promising though, and I like that it's organic. The one product that was a bit of a miss for me was the Colour by TBN lipstick in the shade A Kiss is Still a Kiss. Although the formula was creamy and pigmented, the colour was just not my cup of tea. It's a very brown, warm-toned nude and that is just not my kind of lipstick. However, I'll try and make it work somehow. Lastly there was an eye mask from Glamourflage, which I'm sure I'll be able to find some use for. 

Overall, the box was good. I was quite pleased with what I received and know I'll get use out of almost everything!
