Lush ickle baby bot bath bomb!

This bath bomb is made for babies and children. This doesn't mean that I can't try it! ;) On the lush website they say 'Exterminate tiredness and send your baby off to the land of nod...' It smells lovely, it's not too strong. It contains lavender and sandalwood which are proven to relax you. When I threw it into the bath it made no real difference to the water. It just turned a light blue. 
I couldn't really smell it while I was in the bath. I couldn't smell lavender. I did find it relaxing though. I was disappointed that it didn't leave my skin smelling lovely like some of the others do. It wasn't the most exciting bath bomb. Have you ever tried this bath bomb? What did you think of it? 

Zara haul!

I went into Zara the other day. I hadn't shopped there in ages but I was so impressed with it. They had so many nice things. Here is a post showing some of the things I bought. I got this black dress that I've already shown in a OOTN post. 



How nice is this this big woolly cardigan. I had to buy it. It was 50 euro but I'm going to get so much wear out of it.
Awkward mirror poses. I'm wearing my woolly cardigan and red jeans from Zara in this pic. 
       
I had to pick up these red jeans. They're a dark kind of red. They were only 22.95. I'll get so much wear out of these. I'm sorry that the lighting isn't the best in the next few photos but you can make out what the jeans look like.


I was so impressed with Zara on my recent trip. I'll be definitely saving up and having a shopping spree there soon. I hope you like what I bought and I'll have an outfit post coming up soon showing the cardigan and jeans. Chat soon...Rachel

OOTN! :D

I went to dinner with my family last night and this is what I wore: 
And the shoes...
Both my dress and shoes are from topshop. I got the shoes a while ago but the dress is part of their new autumn/winter collection. I hope you liked my outfits! <3

My week in pics!

I'm going to start trying to do 'My week in pics' posts! I've made a collage of photos from the past week. I post a lot of these pics to Instagram but I thought that this sort of post would be a better idea...  
My friends and I celebrating our results...My two new pandora charms from my mom as well done presents...A well done on my exam results card from a lovely elderly woman that I know...Safe haven book by Nicholas Sparks, that I'm loving reading lately!
My Dior presents from my sister...Topshop shopping bag...necklace from topshop...and me before going shopping. I hope you enjoyed this different kind of post. I'm going to try do these most weeks. I'm also going to try do 'my weekend in pics' on Monday! 

Chat soon...Rachel x
 

Dior nail polish & lip gloss

I showed you in a previous post the nail polish and lip gloss that my sister got me from Dior. I was so surprised that she did. She really shouldn't have. It was to say well done for doing good in my exams. Anyways, I am going to review the products. First up is the nail polish. It's the colour lucky 659. It's a lovely dark pink colour. I'm always wearing pink nail polish so I'll definitely get plenty of wear out of this. The nail polish was so easy to apply. It just glided on. The colour looks so good on my nails. It actually looks like I have gels nails on because the finish is so glossy. You can tell that it's a high end product. I've almost had it on for 3 days and it has no chips yet. I'm so happy with this nail polish. My sister said that it was 26 euro. I'm mad that she spent that much on a nail polish for me but the quality is so high. I doubt i'll be able to afford any more of these nail polishes any time soon but it's nice to own one. I'm definitely not going to any this one lying around like some of the others. 

She also bought me a Dior addict lip gloss. It's the colour princess 553. It's a lovely light pink colour with kind of sparkles in it. It's not as sticky as other lip glosses. What I hate about some lip glosses is that they taste awful whilst on the lips. This one doesn't thankfully! I tried it out yesterday and it has a very long lasting power. I love how it looks on the lips. I think this was 26 euro as well. Like I already said she really shouldn't have!! I found this lip gloss really moisturising on the lips! 
It feels nice though to get treated now and again though as I worked so hard on my exams!! Chat soon...Rachel x

Lush butterball bath bomb

I tried this bath bomb the other day. I'm obsessed with lush bath bombs. I find them so relaxing. 



It made no real difference to the bath water like some of the other ones do. Here is a pic after I threw it into the bath: 

It smelt lovely and felt very waxy on the skin whilst I was in the bath. This contains cocoa butter which is amazing for dry skin. My skin felt so soft and smooth afterwards. I love how my skin always smells gorgeous after having a bath with a lush bath bomb. I highly recommend this bath bomb. You can check them out on the lush website here - https://www.lush.co.uk/product/73/Butterball-Bath-Bomb   If you've never tried a lush bath bomb do because they're so nice and they always seem to do wonders for my skin. 

OOTD! :D


Cardigan, dress and tights- penneys. The lipstick I'm wearing here is mac chatterbox. This is the first mac lipstick that I ever bought and I'll have a review coming up on it soon. I'm moving my outfits into autumn now as it doesn't look like we're getting anymore good whether. My hair looks shorter because I got loads taken off it. It badly needed it and its so much healthier now. I hope you liked this outfit! <3
