For me, autumn signifies a new beginning... and with new beginnings comes a whole host of newness.  

The newness I am talking about today is from LUSH AKA my favourite bathing and pampering brand. 

I can remember a few years ago when LUSH only brought out a Halloween range in the autumn, and how I would desperately yearn for an autumnal-scented collection - and now us autumn-lovers have just this.  

For the last couple of years, LUSH has released its Pumpkin Spice collection - and I cannot tell you how happy this makes me. As a PSL lover and self-confessed autumn obsessive, the scent of LUSH's Pumpkin Spice collection is EVERYTHING. Musky, heady, woody, spicy - it's got it all. 

This fall, I was kindly sent some of the new collection, including: the Pumpkin Spice Body Spray, the Pumpkin Spice Single Wick Candle, the Mr Pumpkin Face Face Mask, and the Pumpkin Spice And Everything Nice Bubble Bar.

Pumpkin Spice Body Spray 

RRP £28 | Buy here
Sweet and spicy clove and ginger combine with carob resin and carrot seed oil. Full of warmth and nostalgia in every spritz and spray, this stunning body scent is perfect for this time of the year. As a self-confessed PSL obsessive, I honestly cannot get enough. Ideal for those cosy days when you throw on your favourite jumper and a big, thick scarf, or even for when you're curling up on the sofa in your pyjamas - it's the perfect scent to breathe life into your autumn activities, inside or out.

Pumpkin Spice Single Wick Candle

RRP £18 | Buy here
Set the scene this autumn when you're having a cosy day inside, and simply light this candle. Packed full of the scent of sweet pumpkin spice, your entire room (and beyond) will be filled with this heady and warming scent. Then, simply make a cup of coffee and stick Gilmore Girls on Netflix and you'll be set for the most autumnal evening in ever.


Mr Pumpkin Face Face Mask

RRP £10 | Buy here
If you fancy adding an element of pampering to your day or evening indoors this autumn, then the Mr Pumpkin Face Face Mask will be the perfect accompaniment. Ideal for creating super soft skin, this face mask is packed with pumpkins which are full of vitamins. This pumpkin purée will nourish skin, while organic pumpkin seed butter softens and moisturises and the addition of ground pumpkin seeds will give a gentle exfoliation to leave skin looking radiant.  

Pumpkin Spice And Everything Nice Bubble Bar

RRP £7.50 | Buy here
I have ALWAYS been a fan of LUSH bubble bars.. I've literally written about them and raved about them since the dawn of this blog's time. This bubble bar is probably one of my favourite ever LUSH scents because of how musky, heady and indulgent it is for this season. The ideal bathing accompaniment to soak in, packed with spicy cinnamon leaf and clove leaf oils, with cosy notes of warm balsamic benzoin and patchouli. Reminiscent of their signature Karma scent, but with a pumpkin hit? I'm IN and INVESTED.

Valentine's Day is here once again and like every other year in my life when this time has rolled around, I'm single and turning to self-love and self-care to celebrate this day filled with love and affection. And honestly, what better way to celebrate Valentine's than with a big 'ole pamper session? And thanks to LUSH and their annual Valentine's Day collection, I can have the best V-Day pamper in existence... but what will I be using?

With springtime in full swing, it's time to look ahead to the summer months and get ourselves ready for the warmer weather. From bringing your summer clothes to the front of your wardrobe to putting your full coverage foundation in a drawer until October, it's officially time to prep for the sunshine-filled days and balmy evenings. 

 


[Disclaimer – I was gifted the three items as part of a PR package]


I am completely enamoured by the LUSH CBD range. As somebody who experiences anxiety, depression and general aches and pains in my day-to-day life, when I was told about this range for the first time I was super intrigued and couldn't wait to try it out for myself. 


 [ad-pr products: LUSH products were all gifted to me]


You all know how much I love LUSH, and they've smashed it once again with their Easter range for 2021. Full to the brim with beautiful Easter-y treats, LUSH's bathing accompaniments always cheer up your mood, and your home too! Bursting with fragrance and fun, this Easter LUSH have launched some really beautiful products.


[AD-PR PRODUCTS | Gifted products from LUSH]


Valentine's Day comes around each year and I'm reminded of just how single I am. Don't get me wrong, I don't mind being single – in fact, I've realised I'm happier than I've ever been. I've finally stopped wanting to fall in love with somebody else and I've started to fall in love with myself instead. So, I'm here to introduce you to some new beautiful products from LUSH – they make the perfect self-love gift to yourself...


LUSH kindly gifted me some dreamy rose-scented Valentine's treats and I just haaaad to share them with you. If you're a lover of anything rose-scented, then you'll adore this quad – for dreamy products to help you practice self-love this V-Day...


Love Me Do Bath Bomb

RRP: £6.95

If you're a lover of deep and heady scents, then this clever bath bomb is for you. With rich scents of Pakistani Rose Absolute, Dried Red Roses, Lavender and Ylang Ylang – this gorgeous bath bomb really is a delightful luxury. You drop the entire thing into the tub (with the cloth on) and it infuses your bath with a gorgeous red colour and rose fragrance, what's not to love?


Rose Argan Massage Bar

RRP: £8.00

This opulent massage bar makes the perfect sensual self-love gift to you. Bursting with fragrance, this massage bar has a potent scent of rosewater, which is just perfect if you love floral and rosy scents. With argan oil to soften skin, this massage bar hydrates your skin deeply while leaving it lightly scented for hours. This bar will last you a long time because of the pure potency of the fragrance and the longevity of its design/ingredients. I adore this massage bar and use it in place of body moisturiser once in a while, the perfect treat my skin needs this V-Day.



Heart Beat Bath Bomb

RRP: £5.95

If you like the old-time classic LUSH product 'Bubbleroon Rose Jam' – then you'll love the Heart Beat Bath Bomb, as it actually belongs to the Rose Jam family. This Limited Edition bath bomb will leave you feeling loved up and luscious, moisturised and velvety smooth. Drop into your bath, hop in, lay back and unwind to the scent of roses, while the cocoa butter hearts work their magic on your skin. Also, there's popping candy inside this bath bomb (AKA my favourite ever bath bomb ingredient).


Keep It Fluffy Perfume Bubble Bottle

RRP: £10

Stepping away from the rose-tinted hues of this post and into a slightly lighter, more fluffy fragrance... the Keep It Fluffy Perfume Bubble Bottle is such a fun addition to this post. Shaped like a luxe perfume bottle, the fragrance of this bathing accompaniment combines powdery vanilla with jasmine, for an 'old-school glamour' fragrance that makes you feel beautiful. Perfect for an opulent Friday night treat or a Tuesday afternoon pick-me-up – this stunning bubble bottle will give you up to 8 sweetly scented baths!



Something else that is amazing... the Pakistani rose that is used in LUSH products is sustainably sourced. Read about the full venture here. I really love how LUSH work towards sustainability – they fight for so many amazing causes and I am truly blessed to have been able to collaborate with them!

Lancôme have just launched a brand new lipstick range – L'Absolu Rouge Intimatte is a fresh take on matte lip colour. Not overly bold nor discrete, this new lipstick is subtle, sophisticated and elegant.

When autumn comes around each year, I automatically want to start afresh – there's just something about the changing leaves that make me want to change.. need to change.

[Contents of blog post gifted to me by LUSH]

LUSH have recently launched a brand new range of bubble bars! Bigger, better and more inventive than ever. With perfume bottle shaped treats, sweet smelling mermaid's tails and tie dyed clouds in pastel colours – there's something to tempt everyone!


For years I had seen people rave about The Ordinary on Instagram and various blogs. I had always wanted to give it a go, but I just wasn't sure. My skin is super sensitive to different products – usually my skin breaks out if I change it up too often. 

[Evelyn Rose collection gifted to me by Crabtree & Evelyn]

In July 2019, Crabtree & Evelyn announced that they were re-branding. Founded in 1972, 2019 seemed like the perfect time to give this brand a new identity while bringing it into the modern world.

[Lipstick, foundation and lip liner gifted to me by Charlotte Tilbury]

When the winter months roll around most people start to sport darker lips again, but I tend to sport a red lip for almost 365 days a year. Whether you're a red lipstick obsessive like myself, or a strictly festive red lip lover – it's always important to have the perfect red lipstick (and accompanying makeup too). 

[Contains gifted products from LUSH]

I adore LUSH and I adore autumn, so when I was asked to review their Halloween collection – how could I refuse?

Full to the brim with the scents of trick or treat goodie bags – this collection is delightful and most definitely a treat not a trick! I was kindly gifted the ENTIRE Halloween collection.. I couldn't quite believe it when I opened up my PR package.. I was stunned! Anyway, let me introduce you to 2019's spooky delights...

I adore taking a nice, long, hot bath. Nothing screams #selfcaresunday more than a luxurious bubble bath. For me, Sundays are for pampering and recuperating – they're for preparing for the week, they're for grounding yourself, they're for getting your teeth into a good book and they're for taking some time out for YOU and only you.

I have always adored the scent of rose.. it's heady, floral, sweet, and musky. Rose is an elegant fragrance that is undeniably feminine, it's perfect for spring, and it's perfect for anybody of any age. Timeless, classic, and the perfect ingredient for both fragrances and skincare products too. Rose is my current favourite ingredient for all kinds of beauty products, and today I'll be sharing some of my favourites.

Today I'm creating a stunning movie star look... think pastel pink floaty garments, teamed with a bold lip and bold eyes...

[This post contains gifted fragrances from Fragrance Direct]

Floral fragrances for spring/summer? Groundbreaking. Seriously though, florals in the spring, and heading into summer will always be a thing.. and I will always be a fan of it.

I adore LUSH. I've been using their beautiful bathing products for years. I first started purchasing from LUSH when I lived in Poole, next door to their original shop in fact, and ever since I've been using and adoring their bathing products. For Spring 2019, LUSH have released two beautiful collections. One for Mother's Day, and one for Easter. Each of the collections are utterly delightful, full to the brim with beautiful bathing accompaniments, and so perfect for gifting too.

Charlotte Tilbury, one of my favourite brands ever, and a brand I believe to be perfect for Christmas gifting. Within this post I shall be reviewing the Charlotte Tilbury Scent of a Dream Eau De Parfum and the Beauty Icons gift set - two amazing products that would make amazing gifts for any beauty lover...


I'm turning twenty on September 4th and I honestly cannot believe how quickly I've grown up. It only seems like yesterday that I was at Primary School and now I'm off to University!? Where did the time go? In the twenty one years that I've been walking this earth, I've learnt an awful lot. An awful lot about myself and an awful lot about who I want to be. It's only now that I'm actually coming to terms with who I am and what I want to do with my life and I couldn't be happier with how things are falling into place...
