Review: Lush sunnyside bubble bar

Lush sunnyside bubble bar is my favourite , best, most incredible bath product. ever. I got one for Christmas and seem to now get one every birthday or Christmas which is great!!
I love everything about this bubble bar. It is covered in gold glitter and when you crumble it in the water, it goes all gold and glittery and beautiful. To be honest, I can't really describe the smell as anything other than that of any general cosmetics smell...*great description...well done..* this is quite a nice smell though I think. Maybe a more particular smell would be nicer..
It always leaves my skin feeling soo soft with a lovely gold sheen. This doesn't sound too good and I know that some people don't like it but especially in summer when I have the only hint of a tan i ever get, it highlights any sort of tanned colour I have. Its luckily not an obvious gold...you're not walking around like a gold shiny smurf but the nice colour that there is unfortunately doesn't last long.
Wow that probably made no sense but I honestly can't think of an other way to put it..! Anyway, I would advise that everyone should try this product because for me at least, it is one step to sooo soft skin and is just generally amazing :D

Have a happy new year!! <3

A little recipe!

Here is a recipe i'd like to share for some really cute little butterfly cupcakes, not the most complicated or elaborate things but they are cute and taste good so why not?!

Ingredients:
115g caster sugar
115g butter
115g flour
2 eggs
1 teaspoon (5ml) baking powder
1 teaspoon (5ml) vanilla extract

For the buttercream icing:
Mix 50g margarine with 100g icing sugar

1)Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius and put the cupcake cases into the tray
2)Mix the sugar and butter together until it looks kind of like this:

3)Whisk the eggs then add them to the butter and sugar
4)Add the flour whilst mixing
5)Add baking powder and vanilla making sure everything is mixed together
6)Pour into the cases and bake for 15-20 minutes
7)Remove the cupcakes from the tray to let them cool the cut out a small circle from the top of the cupcake and cut it in half - these are the wings. Spread a small amount of jam onto the part of the cupcake which you removed the top of and then put a blob of buttercream on top of the jam. Place the two wings on the buttercream and dust with icing sugar.
8)Voila!! cute little butterfly cupcakes!

Winter essentials

I love winter, it's probably my favourite part of the year with Christmas and snow etc. There are a few things that I really couldn't have winter without though.
Hot chocolate is the best part of winter in my opinion, there is nothing better than taking my dog out for a walk and then coming home to a nice hot chocolate to warm me up. mmhhmm.

Christmas films are a must at this time of year as they really get me in the festive mood and lets be honest, who doesn't secretly wish they could go on the polar express.....just me? ok then..But yeah, Christmas films are my favourite films all year but i only allow myself to watch them in December or it'd end up being Christmas all year...I think my favourite has to be Polar Express
Winter clothes in general are really good because you can just live in leggings and a hoodie for months but this year my favourite clothing item is probably my patterned reindeer leggings, they are sooo comfy and warm i could literally live in them <3
Snow. What more do I need to say?! You just get to stay at home all day in your pj's with hot chocolate and a Christmas film. Oh..and there's snow angels.
Let's be honest, you've gotta have a beautiful winter nail varnish to keep your nail looking cute and festive all through winter. I prefer to go more toned down in winter than the hot pink and turquoise i use in summer so the one I am wearing at the moment is a shimmery bronze colour (Jack Wills: Bronze) which I absolutely love and you could probably wear it any time but I prefer it in autumn/winter.
My last winter essential is a fluffy pair of slippers. It always makes it slightly easier on a cold morning to get out of bed when you have a nice fluffy pair of slippers to keep your feet warm. Personally, a little animal face on the toes makes it even better for me, makes my day as soon as i've got out of bed.

Merry Christmas and have a great holiday! :)

3 best and 3 worst lip products

I use a lot of different lip products but this post is going to be more about lip care products than colours etc. 

3 best:

okay, my first and all time best lip product is the Body Shop born lippy plum lip balm but in the stick form. I absolutely love this because it is really hydrating and has an amazing texture, not sticky at all. It leaves a little bit of a colour which is a kind of burgundy pink (doesn't sound great but its very subtle and looks good on your lips). Also it smells and tastes AMAZING which is always good!

the second one is the obvious, maybelline baby lips. I love all of these but my favourite for flavour and colour is pink punch and the best for hydrating is the hydrating one *shocker* these also have a really good texture and smell/taste so good.

the last best one is the Bert's Bees replenishing lip balm with pomegranate oil. This is my go to winter lip balm if my lips are really dry because it will sort them out overnight, just apply it a few times during the day and then before you go to bed and your lips are soft and hydrated by the morning!

3 worst:

first one: Nivea lip care pearl & shine, its not the most hydrating lip balm in the world, i know some people love it but personally the smell/taste isn't my favourite - its kind of milk and sun cream, not the best combination...

Next is the Body Shop born lippy pot lib balm in satsuma shimmer. This is completely different to the other born lippy I said - it is SO sticky and the shimmer just doesn't work. It does taste quite good though!

The last is the lush bubblegum lip scrub. I would love this if i had it in another flavour but i hate bubblegum. If you're going to get this get it in a flavour you like, they are SO similar to the actual flavour!

Disclaimer: This is only my personal opinion, please don't hate me!

Hello!

Hello everyone!

So I am the worlds worst procrastinator and never get anything done. I love watching youtube videos and spend most of my life doing that. Also, just to warn you - I can't spell. At all.

Anyway I thought that as most of my life is already spent watching youtubers and reading their blogs I would try do one of my own. I can't guarantee it'll be any good but i wanted to try something new so i'm giving this a go. I was thinking to start off with the traditional beauty posts and go from there maybe a couple of lifestyle posts...etc. byeee!
