Birthday & Christmas

    Christmas week has been a busy one for my family and I, those of you who know me in person know it was my birthday on the 24th and then Christmas the day afterwards. Quite a few people have already uploaded their Christmas post but I thought I'd include my birthday and Christmas gifts together. Now to go through the stupid but necessary jargon of "I'm not showing off what I've been bought, I'm simply presenting images of said gifts to you etc etc." I do know some people are less fortunate than others but these selected photos are a combination of two heavily gifted events, so I hope you can enjoy what I've been bought (I know I will) and maybe see something you want to pick up yourself. Links will be provided under each image!

Mini Beauty Products Haul

    Just a few products I picked up around two weeks ago while I was going into town to pick up some Lush products. A video was meant to be filmed featuring these products but due to limited internet availability, I'm unable to edit and process my videos. Nevertheless here's some pictures of the said items, pretty excited for one particular one. Can you guess?

REVIEWED | Lush 'American Cream' Conditioner

    I thought I'd ease myself back into blogging by doing a review on a particular product that I want to buy in bulk, and it's Lush's well known American Cream hair conditioner. With the essence of strawberries and cream, this conditioner does wonders for anybody with damned hair, whether it is slight are very high.

    Keeping up with the health of my hair is a hard task since bleaching one half blonde, continuing to use my regular conditioner there was no significant change. Instead my hair felt more brittle, dry and looked dim. I eventually got round to nipping into Lush to see if they had a solution to my hair dilemma.

    I was blessed enough to find a lady who had also gone through the same problem as my self, who had the perfect conditioner for me and it was 'American Cream'. I purchased the medium sized bottle which was around £7.75. I was not expecting anything great as I've been through many conditioners but this works wonders.

    I apply this all over my hair after shampooing, focusing on the roots applying a generous amount there and less on the ends. It lathers up quite nicely and smells utterly divine in and out of the shower. Once I was dry my hair felt like it had a new life, being extremely soft throughout the whole of my head also the smell of strawberries was still prominent on my hair.

    This conditioner for un-damaged hair will be a luxury product to keep up with the already good condition you will have it in, but it you're partial to hair dying or applying heat on a regular basis your hair will thank you for the miracle in a bottle.

Collective Haul

    I've worked up a few different items that I've bought from Venice, out and about in Manchester and items that I've been given as gifts over the past month or so. Details as where they are from, price and opinion will be below each photograph.

Wonka Exceptional Fudge - Approx £2.70

    I bought this in a shopping store in Manchester called Afflecks Palace, a small American sweets shop has recently been set up selling everything from Grape Soda to Twinkies. The shop is run by a family with their children helping out with purchases and sales. 

Oh, Lola! by Marc Jacobs - 100mil 87 euro

    On my way back from Venice, I hope 200 euros to get rid off so I decided to treat myself with a 100mil bottle of new perfume. I'm a fan of Marc Jacobs and knew I wouldn't be disappointed and I defiantly was not. The smell is so light and fresh, perfect for the upcoming summer season, I would recommend this to anybody who likes perfume to all ages. 

Blue & Silver Venetian Mask - 4 euro

    Visiting Venice a few weeks ago it was my duty to come back with at least one Venetian mask. I picked up this blue and silver mask which has black ribbon attached at the back so you could wear the mask. It is beautiful in person, very sparkly and true to the hype they get. Picking up one of these beauties if you visit Venice is something I highly recommend.

Tortoiseshell Shades - 2 euro

    These were another purchase I made in Venice, as the weather was unpredictable I took along my purple Ray Bans however, not matching all my outfits I picked up these tortoiseshell shades as normally you would pay around £20 in a high street store such as Topshop.

Topshop Glittery Flats - £15

    I picked these up the other week in the Topshop spring sale, a friend of mine had purchased these in gold a few weeks prior to myself paying the full price of £60. If these are something that interest you then I would nip into your local Topshop store as soon as possible, to make sure you don't miss out on these unique beauts.

Dirty Body Spray - Lush £12.50

    Going through a frenzy of buying Lush products I decided to buy this, being interested in any products that improve your hygiene and smell wonderful this product seemed perfect. It reminds me of an anti bacterial spray dispenser, but don't let that put you off. The smell produced is very strong though, I've been told and believe myself that it resembles the smell is mouthwash. Yet as a change I would purchase this again.

Blue Boy Chanel Polish - 17 euro

    The last thing I purchased was also on my way home from Venice. Buying high street nail polish's under the price of £5 I would see if Chanel work up to their name.One problem I had was that after your first coat, the finish is quite thin for my liking. However if you persist the result is quite impressive. For its price however I would possibly purchase one more polish, on the likelihood on this single batch being not as successful as the others.
