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!

Graduation

This week I graduated from university (yay!) and even though it was a fun day full of celebration, it was stressful at times. I wanted to share some pictures from my day and wish all those who graduated this year, or will be doing so, good luck!

Life Update: What is going on?

Since coming back from Canada I've had to do a lot of deciding and prioritizing about how I'm going to start my life post university.

Since I was 4 years old, every summer I've known that in September I'll be starting a new year of school. Whether it be primary or secondary school, 6th form or university, I knew I was going to be in education. Except for this year!
Whilst enjoying my summer in Canada, I knew when I was home I would have to start looking for a job and creating my future path. It was easier said than done and after a month of looking for a job I finally found something I wanted to do.

Whilst battling with the unemployment demons I was also chasing up a piece of lost luggage. It took me a month but I was finally reunited with my suitcase that contained my entire summer wardrobe an a lot of items I rely on for blogging (hence the absence).

Now things are finally looking up and I know how my days will be looking, I'll be back posting reviews and talking about everything beauty related that I love. I was lucky enough to buy a lot of make up and beauty related things in Canada that aren't available, hard to find, or expensive in the UK (yay!), so I have no shortage of writing material for my blog.

I'm excited to see where this new chapter on my life is going to take me!
