Lush Cup O Coffee Review & Swatch

After a recent trip to Lush, I came away with a few products I had never tried before including this face and body mask.

This coffee scented face and body mask was recommended to me by a Lush employee when I told her I loved the Ocean Sea Salt face and body scrub. The sea salt really helps to exfoliate as it's quite coarse but gentle on the skin.

Cup O' Coffee contains roasted cocoa extract, vetivert and coriander oil. It has a rich coffe scent but not as strong as I expected meaning it would probably be tolerable for someone who doesn't enjoy the smell of coffee.

As this is a mask rather than a scrub like Ocean Sea Salt, its consistency is thicker and more together. It has similar exfoliating properties including ground coffee beans to help work off dead skin.

I have used this product as both a mask and an exfoliator and in my opinion it works better as a mask for those who prehaps have normal-dry skin. As a mask its thick and easy to spread but to use it to exfoliate is a little harder. The thickness means it doesn't spread over the skin as well as Oceans Sea Salt, however I would still use this in a quick morning shower to make me feel refreshed!

This gorgeous smelling mask/scrub is perfect for those who want a quick morning wake up and enjoy the smell of coffee!

Building up a Make up Collection | Eyeshadow

There must be so many people who want to build up a good make up collection but don't know how. I know I didn't for sure. Hopefully these short few posts will give you an idea about where to start.

I feel like this E.L.F palette is the perfect way to slowly build up a make up collection in terms of eyeshadows. Obviously a palette is a good starting point as it has lots of colours all in one place.

I found this one in the clearance section of the E.L.F website for £5 instead of £10 (bargain, I know!). It would of been a bargain at £10 too, as it contains 100 highly pigmented colours and even some with marble effect.

The range of colours are perfect for everyday for evening looks. The colours are all warm and easily blendable. The palette includes nudes and white for highlighting brow bones and inner corners. E.L.F products are value for money and good quality so I would definitely add this to your collection whether you're starting out or stocking up!

Spring Nails

I ventured into Superdrug recently and ended up buying a lot of things, as usual. Barrry M have bought out a new Aquarium range (what will they think of next?!).
 There's 6 colours, 2 of which are glitter and the other 4 are a metallic type retailing at £3.99 each which is still a bargain for such good nail varnish.

There were only 3 colours left in Superdrug so I picked up the two I liked best. 'Arabian' which is a green/blue metallic and 'Mermaid' which is a blue glitter.

The other two colours I picked up were from the Gelly Hi Shine range which is also £3.99. Id wanted a royal, bright blue for a while and the picture of 'Blue Grape' doesn't do the colour justice; its so bright.

The other colour 'Green Berry' is a bright turquoise and looks so much more vivid and pigmented once painted onto your nails. 

With Barry M I find 2 coats is ample but 3 creates a brighter colour but lasts just as long. I'm yet to discover a brand of nail varnish I like even more when it comes to price and quality.
