Lush Pumpkin Bath Bomb

As one of my favourite Holidays, I had to treat myself to something from this years Lush Halloween collection. With many gorgeous & "spooky" bath treats on offer I'll admit that it took a fair while to decided which product to go for (I'd limited myself to just the one *sob*) and I finally settled for the "Pumpkin" bath bomb.

With a combination of vanilla extract, Pimento berry oil & cinnamon - three gorgeously fragrant ingredients - the Pumpkin bath bomb has a sweet, yet slightly spicy scent. One that Lush describes as "home-baking and home desserts" (how perfect for autumn/winter).

Once I dropped the Pumpkin into my bath it quickly turned the water a bright orange as the bath bomb fizzled & dissolved. The scent also filled the room leaving it smelling gorgeous & autumnal - perfect for relaxing after a long day!

After using - like most Lush products - my skin was left feeling soft & smelling lovely (& don't worry, the bright orange didn't stain). I always love using Lush Bath-bombs but the added Halloween theme definitely added a great extra element of fun making it something I'll be sure to pick up next year!

Have you tried any of the Lush Halloween products?

Halloween Wishlist

It's safe to say that Halloween is a time of year that I love. It offers the perfect excuse to experiment with different styles, indulge in treats & binge watch spooky shows on Netflix.

Whilst it may not be acceptable to wander around covered in fake blood & crazy back-combed hair in the lead up to Halloween, I do love how many shops start to release spooky-themed items. So I couldn't resist putting together a little wishlist of products that I currently have my eye on...

1. Ghost Earrings - Clarie's Accessories - £3.50  [x]
2. Cat Ballet Pumps - Asos - £25.00 - [x]
3. Ghost T-shirt  - New Look - £7.99 [x]

4. "No Rest For The Wicked" Crop T-shirt - Missguided - £12.00 [x]

5. "Tiddly Vampires" Chocolates - Hotel Chocolat - £5.50 [x]
6. Nightmare Before Christmas Mug - Disney Store - £10.00 [x]

7. "Candy Corn" Mini Candle - Yankee Candle - £1.80 [x]

8. Heebie Jeebie Bat- Lush - £9.95 [x]

9. Diamanté Cat Ears - Boo Hoo - £4.00 [x]

If - like me - you have to at least pretend to be a responsible adult, then the Ghost earrings & Cat Ballet Pumps are the perfect way of injecting some Halloween fun into a day-day outfit. Plus, who in the office could resits tucking in "Tiddly Vampire" chocolates?!

Or if you'd rather celebrate in the comfort of your own home - what could be more relaxing that a pamper evening filled with Lush's Heebie Jeebie Bat & hot chocolate in a Jack Skeleton themed mug? All whilst a Candy Corn candle burns in the background. 

I personally love these each of items as they're the perfect balance of adorable & spooky rolled into one.

This is Halloween

I know we're all over the Halloween excitement and now looking towards Christmas, but I loved Halloween this year and really wanted to write a post about it.

I'd say this is the first year I've put some proper effort into my costume for a while as whilst I was at university my effort was pretty poor - think cat / a small amount of fake blood & calling myself a zombie.

I decided this year to try out the half skull, half normal make-up I'd seen floating around the Pinterest world (obviously setting my sites high, as anyone who looks on Pinterest does). Although if I'm honest, I was actually pretty pleased with how it turned out! Especially for someone with no experience with anything outside of the usual day to day make-up.

Spooky...

For my outfit, I bought a skeleton leotard from eBay for around £6 (bargain) and teamed it with some black disco pants, which you can see below.

Yes, me & Ollie accidentally coordinated 

I love Halloween as it's the one time of year - a girl can dress like a total slut and no other girl can say anything about it (Haha joking, couldnt resist the "Mean Girls" quote there) - you get really go out with all types of make-up and clothing you wouldn't usually wear! 

Plus it's the perfect excuse to eat lots of naughty treats and watch spooky films! 

Did anyone have any fun costumes?
