Zoella Soak Opera Review

Whilst I was in my local Superdrug the other day, I decided to pick up a bottle of Zoella’s Soak Opera (Bath soak/Shower cream) to see what all the hype was about!

At £5 for a large bottle I feel the Soak Opera is pretty reasonably priced and the ‘cute’ packaging gives a girly, fresh feel to the product (perfect for a stocking filler?). It has a mild but fresh smell and pours easily out of the bottle. Overall I found it didn’t produce many bubbles in my bath which I was disappointed about, but it did leave my skin feeling ‘soft and conditioned’ just like it says on the bottle! As a bubble bath I’m not sure that I would buy this product again (unless my next bath turns out more bubbly! Fingers crossed!), however I do think it serves well as a shower cream which leaves your skin feeling soft and fresh  🙂

I’m also excited to try out the Fizz Bar and Let’s Glow candle from Zoella’s range, however they are currently out of stock everywhere I’ve looked 😦

Boots 3 for 2 Offer!

So it’s that time of the year again, when Boots (and Superdrug) have their christmas 3 for 2 offer! So go out and take advantage of it 🙂

Here are the items I picked up:

1. Rimmel Match Perfect Fix and Perfect Primer – I’ve used this product before and really liked it. It gives an overall smooth finish to your skin and I find it doesn’t irritate my skin like some other primers do.

2. Rimmel London Clear Complexion Clarifying Powder – Rimmel’s powders are a staple product in my makeup bag, I decided to go for the colourless option this time as I felt my previous coloured powder had been looking a bit heavy on top of my foundation and concealer.

3. Maybelline Great Lash Very Black Mascara – I have never used this mascara before but I have read great reviews. For £4.99 I’m excited to give it a go!

4. Collection Illuminating Touch Concealer, in Naked – I’m hoping this will work well as a highlighter rather than concealer as I bought it in a very light colour. I’ve liked most of their products I’ve used so far, so fingers crossed this will be no different!

5. Bourjois Blush in Rose D’or Golden Rose – I’m not sure if this is a limited edition as I can’t seem to find the same one on their website. I really like this blush, it’s quite pink but goes really nicely with a light pink or nude lipstick.

6. Maybelline Colour Drama Lipstick (Pencil) in Nude Perfection – I actually bought this lip pencil after reading a blog about it, I had been looking for a nude colour and I really like the pencil applicator. Although I have noticed that they do melt easily so probably not one to keep in your makeup bag permanently.

So that’s it for now, let me know what you guys get! Or if you’ve used any of these products before. Don’t forget to like and follow.

Lush Haul

So Lush is officially my new favourite place. For some reason I’ve never gone out and bought their products before, however I shall now be spending every last penny I earn there!

I walked into Lush this morning aiming to buy their Cosmetic Warrior face mask. I’ve been reading really good reviews about it all week and thought it would give my skin the vital boost it needs to deal with all the stress I’ve been putting it through lately!

I got talking to one of the sales assistances in Lush and she recommended I used the ‘Mask Of Magnaminty‘ instead, this mask is predominately made with peppermint oil and helps to combat troublesome skin, whilst also acting as an exfoliant! It costs slightly less than the other fresh face masks and also lasts longer as well, which is a win win. I have literally just used the product and I have to say  I already think it is amazing!!!!! The peppermint has a cooling effect on your skin which feels really nice and my skin already appears less red and more healthy from just one 10 minute mask. I’m very excited to see the long-term effect this has on my skin. It is £5.50 for 125g and I am guessing I will get around 8 uses (maybe more) from the pot, which I think is excellent value! Here is the link: https://www.lush.co.uk/products/masks/mask-magnaminty

The next thing I bought today was ‘Ultrabland‘, I had never heard of this before, but the sales assistant swore by it. It’s a cleanser that really works, I have just used it to remove my makeup and I shocked by what came off on the cloth, it really proves how much face wipes and other standard removers leave behind on your skin, even some of the high-end ones! The only slight downside to this is that it is on the oily side, but don’t let this put you off, it really does work and leaves your skin feeling soft and extremely clean. I just wiped my face over with my normal toner afterwards. Used with the Mask of Magnaminty it is meant to be the complete skin boosting and spot zapping package. The mask is £7.25 for 45g, which I guess is slightly pricey for the size but it is the best makeup remover I’ve ever used! Find it here: https://www.lush.co.uk/products/ultrabland

As I bought two products the lovely sales assistant (who is now my new best friend) gave me a bath bomb for free!!!  I chose the Dragon’s Egg bath bomb (middle), as I’ve read really good reviews about it and it smelled like sherbet. Can’t wait to try it out!! It normally retails at £3.35, find it here: https://www.lush.co.uk/products/dragons-egg

She also gave me a 2nd free bath bomb #bestdayever called Luxury Lush Pud (left), I think this is a christmas themed bath bomb? According to Lush’s website it is full of relaxing lavender oils and leaves your bath bright pink! Which sounds very exciting. It’s £3.50 normally and here is the link: https://www.lush.co.uk/products/bath-bombs/luxury-lush-pud

The other two items, I didn’t actually buy today but I thought I would included them on this blog as I bought them pretty recently. The first is Rub, Rub, Rub, I absolutely adore this product! It is an exfoliating shower scrub that you can use all over your body and can even wash your hair with (though I’m still undecided if I like using it as a shampoo or not). It is £8.75 for 330g, and it leaves your skin feeling smooth and refreshed. I would definitely recommend rub, rub, rub, don’t be put off by its bright blue colour, its full of natural ingredients such as sea salt and leaves your smelling and feeling lovely.  Find it here: https://www.lush.co.uk/products/rub-rub-rub 

The last bath bomb I got to try is the Avobath, I usually hate avocado anything, but the smell of this is amazing. It’s also got lemon grass it in and apparently hydrates and uplifts your skin. It’s £3.35 and here is the link: https://www.lush.co.uk/products/avobath

I would also like to quickly mention another bath bomb (yes, I know I’m sounding a little obsessed), which I used the other day the Fizzbanger (£3.35, here: https://www.lush.co.uk/products/fizzbanger). I can’t really describe the smell of this but it was lovely, it smells fizzy (I know that makes no sense). It’s yellow on the outside, so it really surprised me when I dropped it into the bath and found it had a blue centre! It turned my bath the most amazing bright green colour, I came out feeling so relaxed and my skin felt amazingly soft. This picture doesn’t really do the colour justice, but you get the point:

Please note: This blog is full of my own opinions and all products were purchased with my own money! 

Hope you enjoyed this post and let me know your favourite lush products.
