Lush Halloween Haul!

Hello Internet Beauties!

So, after watching Louise's (/SprinkleOfGlitter's) recent Lush halloween haul, I couldn't help but pop into a Lush and pick up some of their seasonal goodies! As I ended up buying a rather large stash of general Lush goodies, I managed to restrain myself to picking up just a few of the halloween range!

So the first product is this incredibly sparkly pumpkin Bubble Bar called 'Sparkly Pumpkin' - pretty self-explanatory haha! But, you might as well keep it simple because the reason I picked this up was because of the glitter! It has a lovely fruity kind of scent, but honestly for me, it's the gold and iridescent shimmer makes this a gorgeous product. My tip for Bubble Bars - you only need a tiny bit! So crumble a little piece under the running tap and then swish it all around in the bath water with your hands for about a minute to make an extra large bubble mountain!

This next product is a cute little guy named Boo! A bath melt but with a little added fizz, he's perfect to add a little treat into your bath. A warming scent and the best addition for the winter for smooth and soft skin!

So I didn't intend to pick this one up, as I already had one pumpkin themed product, but I actually found it too cute to resist, as I saw it as a rather happy looking pumpkin! (Yes, I am way too easily sold on things haha) The simply named 'Pumpkin' bath bomb is actually my favourite scent of the three products I picked up! With it's vanilla notes and cinnamon, its the perfect sweet warm scent for me. Who said pumpkins had to be scary?!

Overall, I think these are lovely additions to the Lush collection this season!

Tried & Tested Tutorials: CutePolish Fruity Nails

Hello Internet Beauties! 

I love watching tutorials on YouTube, on everything from hair to makeup to DIY projects. Honestly, most of them I don't actually attempt because I don't actually believe I could create them as good as they look! So, this series of posts will be trying out some YouTuber's tutorials and letting you know how easy they actually are to make or follow in real life! 

Today, I'm trying an amazing nail tutorial by CutePolish. I have followed her for such a long time because her nail tutorials are honestly the most amazing pieces of nail art I have ever seen. 

I saw this insanely amazing fruity nail art of hers from one of her early videos and had to try recreating it for summer! Click here for a link to the original tutorial video by CutePolish. 
And here is my recreation of the look:

I was actually so shocked with how well they turned out! I did my own thing for the thumb nail because I thought it would be fun, but followed all the other steps. I purchased the little fruits from Amazon (they are called 'fimo'), they can be brought here super cheap. I had all the other colours amongst my nail collection and it was actually really easy to create. 

Overall, it's a little fiddly, but most definitely achievable! The actual painting part is pretty simple too, it's the little fruits which are simply stuck on with the nail varnish that give it that impressive look, without actually having to do much work! Unfortunately, because of the fimo decals, the design doesn't last too much longer than a few days, as I found the fruits started to peel off. But, if you have a fun party or event coming up, I would most definitely say give this a try! They look so impressive and are just really fun. 

So, this CutePolish tutorial is definitely a hit! Clear and easy to follow with successful results, which is everything a tutorial should be!
