Mini Lush Haul...

 
 Hey guys!
 
Todays post is going to be a... Lush Haul! We popped into Lush on the weekend that the Christmas collection was launched. We were very good and only brought a few items, although it was very tempting to just buy the whole collection!
Here's what we brought:
 
The first thing we brought is by far my favourite. Its the Christmas penguin bubble bar.
 
 
He's the cutest little fella we've ever seen in Lush.
 

 
When you put him in the bath, he creates tons of bubbles and makes a gorgeous bright blue bath!
 

 
The next thing we brought was the Magic Wand Bubble bar.
 
 
 
Its my favourite colour-PINK!
 
 
And when its in the bath it also turns it PINK!
 
 
 
 
Then we brought another item from the Christmas collection. Christmas Eve Bubble Bar.
 
 
This one was also out last year but they've changed the colours slightly.
 

 
This one was my favourite in the bath! (It looked a lot more lime green in real life!)
 
 
The final thing we brought is the Shoot For The Stars Bath Ballistic.
 
 
This one was very pretty to look at, I didn't want to put it in the bath and ruin it!
 
 
In the bath it looked (as the name suggests) like a shooting star!
 
 
 
 
Hope you enjoyed this mini haul guys! If you're going into a Lush store anytime soon then definitely check these products out! Thanks for reading guys!

Everyday Skincare Routine



Hello everyone!

 
 Today's blog post is going to be about our everyday skincare routine. Its very simple - literally. We both have very combination/sensitive skin so we have to take extra care when choosing what products to use on our faces. The brand we swear by is 'Simple' (Simple Kind To Skin) which has an excellent range of products to use if you have a similar skin type to ours. The brand is super careful when creating their products and ensure their skin treatments consist of absolutely 0 artificial perfumes or colours. We can rest assure that our skin can breathe and is well hydrated & moisturised thanks to the nutrients and vitamins used in the products, whilst knowing our skin will be in great condition with less of a risk of breakouts & blemishes. Carry on reading to hear about our everyday skincare routine using our favourite Simple products!.....
 
 
 
 
  Step 1: Simple Kind To Eyes Eye Make-up Remover
 
 This is the first product we use, it's a liquid substance that we apply to cotton wool pads. All you have to do is gently rub around your eye area and eyebrows and this amazing, nifty little product fully removes even waterproof mascara - without a trace of make-up left on your face! It's really gentle around the eyes and doesn't require any rubbing or scrubbing to get rid of your make-up so it's perfect if you have sensitive skin and/or eyes!



 

Step 2: Simple Kind To Skin Vital Vitamin Foaming Cleanser

 
We use this product next; it's super quick & easy to use yet does wonders to your skin. All you need to do is dampen your skin with warm water, squeeze two pumps of the product out into your hands & massage into your face. It initially comes out as really foamy & almost resembles bubbles, but once on the skin it lathers into a really lovely cleanser. It leaves our skin feeling suuuper cleansed and also removes face make-up.
 
 
 
Step 3: Simple Kind To Soothing Skin Facial Toner
 

 Then we use this; Its a natural, Aloe Vera scented toner, which includes vital vitamins for the skin. We simply squirt this onto cotton wool pads, and dab a small amount of it in places where we feel like there are excess oils. The toner removes these oils as well as making the skin plumper and smoother. As the name suggests, it also makes our skin feel soothed and is an all round great product.
 
 
 
Step 4: Simple Kind To Skin Hydrating Light Moisturiser
 

This is the final step in our skincare routine; moisturising. We massage the light & gentle moisturiser into our skin with circle, upward movements across our face. This is such a lovely product, it really hydrates & adds moisture to the skin. Because this product is so light, it can be used in the morning as a day moisturiser, or you can build it up to become a thick, night time moisturiser.
 
 
So, that is our skincare routine complete! Once again, thanks again for reading this guys, we love you all and hope you have an amazing day.
