I purchased this Lush bath bomb before Christmas and I absolutely loved it. As soon as I dropped it into my bath it started to fizz and dissolve, after everything had dissolved there was small groups of bubbles around but not many, the bath bomb had turned my bath water into a dark purple colour that resembled Ribena. Lush says that the bath bomb shares the fragrance with the Twilight Bath bomb, though I have never had used the Twilight bath bomb but because I loved this one so much I will definitely be picking it up sometime in the near future! I think it smelt quite a bit like lavender but I also thought that there was a little bit of citrus. The featured ingredient for this was Lavender oil, Lavender oil has been known to help many things such as Fatigue, Insomnia, Headaches, Cuts and wounds, acne and many others!
If you are around a Lush store anytime soon and they still have these I totally recommend picking one up!

Beauty:

Wake me up Foundation by Rimmel
This has been by far my favorite foundation, It gives a beautiful glow and doesn't look too glittery or shimmery. It applies easily and has a nice radiant finish. I use the lightest shade 100 Ivory.

Dream Lumi Touch Highlighting Concealer

I love this concealer for under my eyes. Its is a very smooth texture and blends into the skin perfectly without caking up. I usually use my fingers to apply and gently pat it into my under eye area. I use the lightest shade in Ivory.

MUA Matte Peachy Keen Lipstick

This has been the best colour for Summer/Spring. This shade compliments any skin colour and applies very smoothly. The only thing I can recommend is using a lip scrub (a personal favorite of mine is Popcorn from Lush) and a lip balm before applying this. Because its Matte it can dry out your lips so this is a important step.

Bare by Vital Radiance

This was my favorite lipstick for winter/autumn (fall). It is very buttery and light on the lips. It keeps my lips feeling soft and moisturized all day and doesn't dry them out! I would call this a "my lips but better" colour, yet it is a bit darker though still looks lovely.

Expert face brush by Samantha Chapman

This is the best brush for applying foundation. It blends out any foundation that I have tried perfectly and I would say this is probably the best foundation brush that I have ever used. I use this brush for Foundation but is also very good for bronzers and blush.

The Rocket and The Falsies by Maybelline

These are by far my staple mascaras for 2013. I love these so much. They make my lashes so thick and long without looking too spidery and I have not found a better mascara ever. I lean slightly towards the Falsies but still love them both (I finished the Falsies so that is why it is not pictured)

Colour Tattoo in Bad to the bronze/On and on bronze by Maybelline

This is one of my absolute favorite cream eye shadows. I can wear this by itself and just blend it out or I can use this as a base to create a brown smokey eye. I always reach for this when I want to make my eye shadow stand out.

Undressed Palette by MUA

I really love this Palette, It has 12 eye shadows, 2 Mattes, 10 Shimmers. Lots of people call this a "dupe" for Urban Decays Naked Palette. I do agree that this palette is very similar and of a good quality for 4 Pounds, Though in saying that, it is 4 pounds so it isn't the best quality, though I have been reaching for this quite a lot but will still be purchasing a Naked Palette in the near future.

Master precise liquid eyeliner by Maybelline

This is by far the best liquid eyeliner I have ever used. It is a felt tip so I can easily create a thin or thick line. It drys very quickly and stays all day. I used to be absolutely terrible at liquid eyeliners until I got this one. I don't know why but I just found this one so much easier to control and apply than others. This is something I always reach for and wouldn't want to do a makeup look without.
