As someone who suffers from quite bad eczema and dry skin I can find it difficult to find bath and body care stuff that does good for my skin but also smells lovely.

Most creams and bath oils that are considered suitable smell chemically or of nothing, and when I come out of the bath I enjoy feeling all girly and smelling of roses :)

From a personal experience I've never had any trouble or problems using Lush products with my skin, but it's pretty important to remember that everyone's skin differs and will react differently to different products.

One thing I find hard to resist from Lush are the bath bombs, because they make the bath feel so luxurious and special with the fizzing and the colours they turn the water. :) I picked up three today and they are the Sex Bomb, Dragons Egg and the less imaginatively named Blackberry Bath Bomb

First up ill start with the Dragons Egg.

From the outside it looks pretty plain just white with a few colours specks, however pop it in the bath and the centre oozes a golden orange froth (like treasure) which also contains glitter! Which leaves your bath a sort of yellowish orange with shimmery bits. (It's not the most flattering colour, almost like you've weed the bath but it smells nice!) The bomb also contains popping candy to add another dimension to your bath, although I didn't even notice it when I was in the bath :(

The bomb has a citrus lemon scent and also contains bergamot fragrance and jasmine extract

Overall it's a lovely bomb for a treat and smells lovely, but it doesn't really need the popping candy, or the glitter which lingers on your towel/bottom of the bath.

It is priced at £3.20 which is the same for the more special and exciting bath bombs :)

The Sex Bomb,

Now this bath bomb looks a little more exciting with its pink and purple colours and a little pink rose in the top. It has a jasmine and rose scent as well as an synthetic musk to make you smell amazing and that lil bit sexy :) I loved the smell so much and the pretty pinky purple colour it turns your bath water, although the rice paper rose doesn't dissolve very well and kinda floats and goes mushy around you.. (Ew)

The Sex Bomb is priced at £3.20 also.

The Blackberry Bath Bomb

I chose this one purely for the smell of it, and although it really doesn't look like much it is perfect for relaxing at the end of a hard day. The scents of frankincense and bergamot make a great combination for that wind down bath that you need after a stressful day. It doesn't contain any glitter, popping candy, rice paper or fancy bits, it's just a straight forward lovely smelling bath bomb.

It's priced at just £2.95 :)

Now the real reason I headed into Lush was to pick up a present for my friends birthday, and how could I chose anything other than Mr Bumble.

He's one of their new gift sets, which contains a Honey I Shrunk the Kids soap bar and a Honey Bee bath bomb, both of which smell absolutely amazing. If you smell one thing in Lush (impossible) you need to smell these! The soap is also so hydrating and lovely to the skin. They come wrapped up in the cutest little scarf thingy and at £7.95 how could I not get one for myself?! (Naughty I know)

That's all I got from Lush recently but I am a frequent buyer of the Dream Cream and the face masks and soaps, it is great that I can actually use some great smelling products despite my poor skin :(

I ventured into Primark today to see if I could find anything I actually liked, the last few times I've seen absolutely nothing my style. :(

And there's still not a great lot, unless you're into bright garish patterns and rucksacks.

But with my boyfriends graduation coming up, I was on the lookout for a smart, but casual dress for that, but one I could wear alot this summer. In amongst the huge range of maxi dresses (if only I was taller!) I found this cute little number

With my nude flats, or a pair of nude heels, I think I've got it covered. It's a skater style skirt on the bottom so it floats out a little, enough for me to feel proper girly :) and has that typical waist belt you get with every dress, to pull me in at the middle. I also love the colour, it's more peach/cream than the salmon kind of colour it looks here, so perfect for summer.

It cost £13.00. Which I think is pretty reasonable as the fabric feels good quality.

I also picked up a burgundy zip up hoodie, because my black one is beginning to die, and I fancied a change from the plain black ones I've had since I was about 14 and this still goes great under my leather jacket.

I don't have a picture cause its just a plain hoodie and it cost £8.00

Hitting the accessories, I saw a lot of rose gold items, which i love, but they all seemed to scream tacky :(

I did pick up a necklace, which will go well with my new dress and the green one I was wearing. It has a little Budda face, an eye symbol and all those kind of charms :)

It cost £2.50 which I feel is good for jewellery nowadays :)

Finally I found a new handbag as mine had decided to die, and there's only so many times you can sew the handle back on -.-

It's a bright (TARDIS) blue, and just a perfect size. Comes with two sized handles, so you can have it on your elbow or an adjustable shoulder strap. With a golden padlock on the front and golden zip details on each side. I love this bag because its perfect size for my everyday stuff and its a gorgeous colour! :D

That was everything that I bought from Primark today and I can't see myself going again until the cropped, horrible brightly coloured tops go away. It's just totally not me haha.

I have a blog post on the little bits I got from Superdrug coming up, but I'm going to wait until I've totally tried all the products out. :D
