Bath Fashion Week

Last night, I was fortunate to go to one of the fashion shows for Bath Fashion Week.  It took place in the assmebly rooms and lasted about 45 minutes.  It was showcasing some of the highstreet looks for Spring/Summer 2013.  Main designers included Reiss, Phase Eight, Jigsaw and Candy Kitten - Jamie Laing (Made in Chelsea's) store. Whilst I'm not a 'Made in Chelsea' fan, some of items from his line were really nice.

Main trends that ran throughout the show, were the Spring/Summer staples, Nautical, Pastels, and ofcourse the ever favourite floral.  Also show was a large selection of accessorises, including Specsavers glasses (which gave me a chance to scout out a possible new pair of glasses for myself) and even Radley wellies, which at £40 a pop are perhaps a little too much when mine tend to get covered in cattle...mess!

An added bonus at the end of the night, was the goodie bag.  One touch I particually liked, was from the jewlery company 'Wylde', being a brand that specialise in highend jewlwery, they obviously werent going to give away products for free, however, we each recieved a white flower each, which I thought was a nice added touch to the evening. 

Having left my goodie bag untouched until this morning, I can now report that the contents, although some of it a little odd, has been very well reciveved! A particualr favourite being the navy blue Armani clutch bag, which coinsides with the sample of Armani Code perfume inside.  The bag was also jam packed with perfume samples, and some Clarins products.  A lot of the other items inside were vouchers, and various leaflets promoting local business' and sponsers.

Overall it was a wonderful evening, Bath Fashion Week runs until April 21st, so if youre local, i throughly suggest getting into Bath and having a look around.  Everyone at the Asembly rooms put on a great show. Well done!

5 Most wanted Lush products update!

In my last blog post I listed the 5 Lush products I most want to try, well already I'm needing to compile a new list!!! I visited a Lush store with my sister on Sunday, and I managed to pick up, either the product itself or a generous sample, as a result the R&B hair moisturiser is the only one i have yet to try!!!

As I have yet to use my Ceridwyn's Cauldron I can't really review that, I am however planning a rose inspired bath cocktail tonight, so i may update on that later tonight!!

The first item I was keen to try was the Grass Shower Gel - well well well, I just got back from my second trip to lush in as many days and I picked up another sample of this beaut! its AMAZING, it lathers great (using my loofah) and its the type of lather that sticks to your skin, it also smells amazing, it doesn't linger on your skin but its very refreshing in the morning. The sample I got I have used twice and I still have enough for one more shower out of it, so a little goes a long way, I have vowed to eventually buy a full size bottle!!!

Another item I was desperate to try was the Crème Anglaise moisturiser, this is Lush's most expensive single product, and as i stated in my previous post, one I'm unlikely to ever own a full sized tub of! The Sample is suiting me just fine though, again a little goes a long way, and it smells fantastic, its also a smell that lingers, so you can guarantee hours later you will still be able to smell it!!

Finally the last product I sampled was the American Cream conditioner, the smell isn't one of my favourite, however its by no means unpleasant, with the sample, it wasn't enough for me to get a real idea as to how this would work, so I may need to buy a small bottle in order to make my mind up on it!

As for my Ceridwyn's Cauldron expect an update very soon!!!!

Lush Love!!

I have to admit, I'm a total lush junkie! I LOVE IT! Whilst on YouTube today I came across a user who makes videos of Lush bath cocktails, what first drew me to her videos was the fact she had so many products to put in the one bath! So before I start properly on this blog, I will let you know her YouTube URL so you can check her out for yourself:

Having spent a large chunk of the day watching all her Lush bath cocktail videos, I thought to myself, "Right, I have a lot of Christmas products left over, tonight I'm having bath!" So taking Bam1282's idea of using a bath ballistic, a bubble bar, and a bath melt, I selected (with some difficulty) one of each to use! I knew I wanted a relaxing bath so I went for a 'Cinders' ballistic, half a 'Christmas Eve' bubble bar (these are amazing and REALLY relaxing!) and for the bath melt, I used the 'Want to Believe'.

So having lobbed everything in my tub, I put the shower on (the shower pressure is much better than the tap pressure in my bath!), the bubbles created were amazing, but did disappear very quickly! The colour was slightly odd as well, due to the mix of the yellow, blue and grey of each product it turned a very odd shade of green!

Colour and lack of bubbles aside, I have a lovely relaxing one hour bath, and i feel very relaxed! Oh, I also facemasked (not sure that's even a word!), I used Lush's Oatifix fresh face mask, this has to be my favourite fresh face mask, I cannot get enough of the smell! Its so good I want to eat it! Which in all fairness you probably could do, but I wouldn't recommend it!!!!

Anyways, now I feel super relaxed, even though its 1am and I'm up writing this! Hopefully I should get a good nights sleep...once I decide to stop messing around and GO TO SLEEP!!!!

Night world, 'til the next time! xxx
