Ghotic Collection

There is nothing I love more than the smell of sweet, fruity perfumed soaps and I love that they can leave your house smelling like heaven. I always keep a stash of soaps in my bathroom-not just because they look pretty but because I just think a beautiful scented soap makes bath time feel so much more luxurious and relaxing. Who doesn't love soaking in a bubble bath with candles lit and the gorgeous smells wafting around the house?. It's like a spa experience in the comfort of your own home.

I love having a mix of treats to choose from so tend to keep a mixture of soaps and bath bombs. Lush cosmetics are amazing as we all know and some of their bath bombs are just beautiful. Bomb Cosmetics are another brand that have the most amazing, beautiful soaps I have ever seen. The colours and finishes are just Divine and are a brand I am quickly becoming obsessed with. I especially love the coconut type sprinkles on some of their soaps-they literally look like slices of cake!.

I stock them all in a pretty pink dish I picked up from Ikea ages ago and it really adds something extra special to my bathroom. The smells literally fill the house and I love that it looks so pretty. Whenever I feel like a long soak in the bath I just choose a soap and let the pampering commence. I am running low on Bath bombs so feel a trip to Lush and my nearest stockist of Bomb Cosmetics is needed shortly but until then I have plenty of beautiful soaps to keep me smelling fresh!

                     Do you keep something similar with your Bath Treats?

I actually picked this L'Oreal Foundation up ages ago but have I only just got around to using it and I have to say I really like it! I love the frosted glass bottle, probably not the most practical when it comes to dispensing but pretty all the same!.

 It is a completely liquid foundation and you need to give the bottle a good shake to ensure the foundation all mixes so you get even distribution. It is very 'watery' and therefore it can be quite hard to manage how much you dispense so it is best to dispense small amounts at a time. I find it easier to apply with my fingers as opposed to a brush. It feels so lightwieght and 'feathery' on application and my skin feels so smooth, and it gives the feel that your skin is actually bare. Coverage is fairly light, which is what I prefer, but for those who require a bit more coverage It's probably not the 'one'. I use shade Porcelain, the lightest of the six shades available. Not alot of options shade wise which is a disadvantage as it is a really good foundation.

It sets to a satin finish and my skin feels like it can 'breathe' and  I almost forget I have any foundation on it feels that light!. I really love this foundation and will definitely be repurchasing when it runs low. It retails at £9.99 for 20mls, which is pretty reasonable. If you are after light coverage that gives you that 'fresh no makeup' look then this is the foundation for you!.

                         Anybody tried this Foundation and What did you Think?

I have seen a few of these What's In my Bag type posts floating around the blogosphere and decided to join in, as it makes a change from all the beauty posts. If you are anything like me a nosey bugger then you'll enjoy seeing what goodies other people carry around all day and what essentials means to them..This is a clean cut version of my bag, because lets face it-nobody needs to see all the receipts I seem to accumulate at the bottom of my bag. I can tend to overfill my bag, but I am attempting to be more tidy and this means being more practical with what I really need with me.

First up is my current bag of choice, My lovely TopShop holdall that I picked up in the sale ages ago-I think it was £20 if I remember correctly?! I love the colour and I just think it's a really beautiful bag. So onto the contents of my bag-my phone of course which I would be lost without! My kindle, which isn't exactly an essential daily item but you never know when you have a spare few minutes to read or browse. My diary which is really just to note down my work shifts and appointment and such. I prefer a small dainty diary like this as it's handier for me work wise and it's really pretty, plus it was only £1!. Also my glasses are usually lying about the bottom of my bag-I really should use my case but I always forget-whoops! It's time I invested in a few new pairs anyway.

Then I have my purse with all my cards and so on, and my small money purse where I just keep some loose change. I love my purse as I think it's quite unusual-I picked it up on holiday a few years ago in Cyprus. My small money purse is River Island and I love the colours-really vibrant and cheery.

Beauty wise I don't keep much-if I'm working I generally do not wear makeup Shock Horror but as I'm constantly running around at work in very humid conditions(why is it always so bloody warm!) it just looks awful after a 12-13 hour shift so I just use my Nspa Brightening Day Cream (which I love). I am never without some form of lip salve and the current favourite is Baby Lips in Hydrate me, which is surprisingly good and really hydrates and softens my lips.

If I am wearing makeup on a day off, rather than take my makeup bag I just take my 17 concealer for touch ups and a lipgloss, L'Oreal Glam Shine Dare The Dragon Fruit being my go to at the minute. I carry a mini Body Shop Strawberry Body Butter, because I love the smell, but also at work sometimes I use it after the many many many times I wash my hands. I take a bottle of my Victoria Secrets body spray for a quick spritz of freshness for work, I'm not as obsessed with these as every one else seems to be, I find them very sweet but a quick spritz is enough for me and truth be told I want to use them up. Waste not Want not as the old saying goes.

You'll also probably find a random packet of tissues and polo sweets in there, but I'm trying hard to keep it as minimalistic as possible as I would carry everything and the kitchen sink if I could, So that's What's In My Bag. Hope you liked it and if you have done a similar post let me know--I'm always intrigued to see what others have and what Lovely handbags they own!

This Colour Radiance Leave in conditioning Spray from The Dove Solutions Range has been saving my hair since I discovered it several months ago in Boots. It's a Lightweight spray that can be used on dry or wet hair to give it an extra boost of hydration, leaving it silky smooth. It's a dual performance product with two distinct layers of a clear solution and a milky solution which settles on top. You need to mix it by gently shaking so the formula's combine and then spritz onto hair. My hair can be really tangled at times and before I discovered this lifesaver, I could easily spend 20minutes trying to untangle it whilst pulling out alot of my hair in the process. My hair has been revolutionised with this product-I apply it to freshly washed wet hair and let it work wonders. It is so weightless and does not feel heavy or greasy. It makes my hair so much more manageable and I can honestly say that brushing my hair now is a doddle!. My hair looks and feels so soft and it also smells really lovely-not overbearing but just really fresh. It costs £3.59 for 200ml and is well worth it..although I snapped up a few when they were half price...savvy shopper that I am. I would definitely recommend this spray if you have a troublesome mane that needs a bit of TLC as the leave in spray makes this product so much more practical and efficient. Definitely worth giving it a go for yourselves anyway.
