Livin' The Lush Life..

I don't know about you, but I'm a sucker for Lush Cosmetics. Literally any given chance, I'll be scooting into a Lush store and checking out new bath bombs, bath oils and hair products. I love the quirky designs, use of pigments and how beautiful a bath looks after dropping a fresh new bath bomb in the tub!

After taking a trip to Lush in Chelmsford today, I snapped up a few images and thought I'd share some of my favorite products and showcase some of the latest items available right now..

+LUSH +Lush Cosmetics

The Experimenter - £3.95
A pretty little Hexagonal shaped bath bomb in an array of pastel shades. Watch this beauty bubble and fizz in the bath like a motion picture. Create a gorgeous multi-coloured tub in minutes which includes popping candy and comforting fair trade Vanilla.

Rub Rub Rub - £5.95
This pastel shade body scrub cube is filled with sea salt, glitter and Cherry Blossom extract. Perfect for exfoliation whilst soaking yourself silly! At just £5.95 these scrub cubes last for ages.

The Modfather - £3.65
One of the latest additions to the Lush family is The Modfather. These retro inspired bubble bars will have you feeling nostalgic whilst running a hot bath. Made from Brazilian Orange oil, crumble a little in the tub and feel the benefits in seconds.

Honey Bee - £3.65
Take the sting out of the day with the Lush Honey Bee bath bomb. The soothing Honey bath bomb includes Aloe Vera and cleansing Rhassoul Mud for a relaxing treat at the end of a days work!

Full Of Grace - £8.25
This luxury facial serum is made from fresh Portabello Mushrooms and Amazonian Butter to soften and leave skin feeling beautifully renewed. These gracious bars last forever, so worth every penny!

One more of my favourite products new to the range is the limited edition Pop Art inspired Fathers Day bath bombs. Grab yours now for a quirky little gift for your Dad this year! Fathers Day packages are also available, so pop by a store to find the perfect present!

I recently purchased a number of Lush Cosmetics products for my sisters birthday, as she is also a huge Lush fan, here's what I bought...

Matte Me...

Okay, so as you already know, Sleek Make Up is becoming ever more popular in the UK and are busier than ever when it comes to bringing us the latest and greatest. With a wide variety of different products being available online and in stores, Sleek is taking the make up world by storm.

One of my favorite products from the Sleek range is the Sleek 'Matte Me Lip Cream'

All I can say is.... I have four shades already! The high quality lip brush glides the product on smoothly over the lips like silk and it then dries to a gorgeous matte effect that lasts for hours.

My all time favorite shade is Birthday Suit. A gorgeous nude colour with a hint of pink. One thing I love about these lip creams is the fact they are so pigmented. Many lip creams these days fade so quickly, but these babies stay on for hours, even if you're eating and drinking.

Winter Berry Beauty

With Autumn in full swing and Winter just around the corner, it's time for a make-up makeover. Fresh porcelain skin, smokey eyes and statement berry lipstick is back.

November is one of my favourite months to give myself a little make-up restyle, so below I have gathered some of my favourite make up looks, favourite lipsticks and celebrity styles all in one little berry inspired post...

Get Yourself A Berry Lipstick
NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in Monte Carlo - £5.50 - Superdrug - Shop Here

To complete any make up look, a berry hue lipstick is the ultimate statement this season. My favourite lippy for this look has got to be Monte Carlo by NYX Cosmetics. The smooth texture glides on beautifully and lasts longer than your average product. Team with smokey brown eyes for a bold and daring look in seconds.

Perfect Your Smokey Eye Routine

Too Faced Natural Smokey Eye Kit - £32 - Debenhams - Shop Here

Smokey eyes add instant glamour and oozes femininity. The best smokey eye for this season is made up of a variety of browns, golds, deep chocolate hues and classic pink tones. The Too Faced Natural Smokey Eye Kit is perfect. The product is a saint as it helps you create your chosen look that can be updated from a natural day smokey eye to a high fashion look with the help of a seriously well thought out pallette.

Opt For A Matte Nail Varnish
Barry M Matte Nail Paint - £3.99 - Boots - Shop Here

Barry M is by far one of the best brands to look at if you're after specific colours and shades. The Barry M paint lasts forever and the latest matte range has been updated with this beautiful colour called 'Burgundy Crush'. The berry hues are perfect against any skin done, from pale porcelain to a dark olive. The matte effect works wonders and will complete your winter berry look with ease.

Celebs love the berry look...
