Bubble Bar


LUSH’S COMFORTER BUBBLE BAR.
This is my all time favourite bubble bar from Lush! It smells amazing, such a sweet scent that’s not too overbearing but makes you just feel so relaxed. It is described by Lush as being hugged by a jolly blackcurrant! Cute!  

One of it’s ingredients is bergamot which is one of my favourite scents at the moment! It has a 200g weight, which is a little bit more than most of the bubble bars that Lush stock, and at £4.25 its not a bad price at all.
Due to its size you can get multiple uses out of it if you wish. You might just want to have a giant bubble bath, but I split mine in to three pieces and have used two of them- one on it’s own and one with a limited edition easter bath ballistic. The third piece i snapped in half and have one of them left over. Whilst less bubbly than a whole third it still created enough bubbles to go with another ballistic I had left over.
I’ve been waiting for the right day (nice, cold weather) to use my last little bit up before running out to get another one!
I’d recommend this product to anyone that likes sweet, fruity scents, and very bubbly baths!

MAC vs Coastal Scents


MAC Star Violet vs Coastal Scents Hot Pot in Raisin Berry 

Left: MAC Star Violet (Veluxe Pearl) Shadow £10.00
Right: Coastal Scents Hot Pot in ME15 Raisin Berry $1.99 (I know, how amazing!)
I must mention yes I did buy the CS one in the US but I'm sure you will be able to get it over hear in the UK...
If you have to get one or the other, get the Coastal Scents if you can. The quality is amazing, the shadow is extremely pigmented and very metallic. In fact, I'd even go as far as saying its just as good or even better than the mac, oh and a way better price, which is always a great thing.
Star Violet is a much softer burgundy with a brighter pink-brown shine. Raisin Berry is a deeper wine-burgundy, and equally metallic and rich. This also goes on a lot stronger than the MAC shadow, so take note if you prefer lighter pigmentation. 
Both shades are absolutely beautiful, and work with just about all eye colors. They especially make hazel/green eyes stand out, and would look fantastic over dark skins as well. It's defiantly my colour of the summer and I'm really excited to try it out for everyday wear!
