Product of the Week - Lush's Mmmelting Marshmallow Moment Bath Melt

Might as well change the title of this one to Lush of the Month. I can't help it though I loved this one soo much that I'm planning a trip into town today to get myself another. Now this is called Mmmelting Marshmallow Moment (£3.95) and here it is:


It's not as extravagant or special looking as other products from Lush, it's not a fancy shape and a pretty simple pink colour. The special thing about this is the smell and what it does to your skin. This little melt when put into a bath of hot water fizzes about, leaving the aroma of childhood. It smells like a proper sweet shop where you can buy sweets by the pound (lb) and there's an aire of wonder around. 

It's literally like submerging yourself into a childhood dream. I got two good uses out of this product and I wouldn't have been disappointed if it had only lasted me one! The best thing about this product is that it's fantastic on delicate skin. So if you're a little sensitive to certain bath time treats then this is definitely the one for you. 

Pro's: 

  • Great for those with sensitive skin
  • Smells pretty damn amazing! 
  • Think it's a great price for what it is.
  • Can be used in the kids bath and I can assure you they would love it.
Con's
  • It's no bubble bar but it's got no flaws in my book!
Well that's it from me for this post! Keep a little eye out for another PotW very soon!

Denman Tangle Tamer ~ Damage free brushing!


Say hello to the best brush I've ever used.
The Denman Tangle Tamer - aimed mostly at children because of its 'no tears' detangling qualities, has become one of my must-haves. I'm not in to hair, never have been, but even I knew my hair was being destroyed by my hair brush. Brushing my hair after washing was something of a nightmare, it would break, snap, get ripped out and was ultimately a horrific experience... Then I was sent the tangle tamer and it all changed. This brush simply glides through my hair, no pulling or snapping, no discomfort at all and when used whilst drying leaves my hair smooth and sleek. It comes in black and pink (perfect for all those young princesses out there) and is super lightweight so great to carry around. I feel like I should have more to say but it really is amazing and does exactly what it says. Id recommend this to anyone!
This brush retails for £6.20 
Check back for reviews on other brushes from Denman in the future but for now take a look at the website and comment below with your favourites from the range! :)




Lancome Hypnôse 10 year anniversary £10 offer

Hypnôse mascara by Lancome is easily one of the best on the market and one I personally love! It usually retails for £22.50 but for one day only to celebrate it's 10 year anniversary it is on offer for just £10 at debenhams, in store and online! I've bought 2 for myself as that still works out cheaper than one at full price!

Girl time ~ Femfresh ~ On the go & at home



Now here's a topic that is normally 'hush hush', well not any more. We're all girls here so let's just get to it.
Feminine hygiene is just as important as getting your eyeliner flicks symmetrical and it all adds up to feeling perfect, Femfresh  have it all covered.
Super affordable with simple yet lovely packaging, femfresh offer a range of intimate hygiene products including washes, wipes and deodorants.
In all honesty this is a brand I'd never considered trying, choosing to stay with my ordinary body washes instead, however I was lucky enough to be sent 2 products from the range, the Triple action soothing wash & the Feminine freshness wipes & can honestly say they are life changing & need to be tried to realise just how much of a difference they can make.


First up lets talk about the feminine freshness wipes.
Just to be clear, these are not like the 'wet wipes' some companies are offering us to 'change what we mean by clean'... They are not to replace 'loo roll' and they are not big sopping wet towels like them either. The packaging is just bigger than the palm of my hand making them perfect to throw in your bag, they are discrete and subtle. The wipes themselves are the perfect size and have a wonderfully fresh scent that is not over powering - just right, and wont leave you feeling (excuse the wording here) soggy and uncomfortable. They are perfect for every day use, when travelling and especially good for that dreaded time of the month as they really keep you feeling clean and soothed. For £1.59 I really can not say enough good things about them and will now always have a pack handy. Purchase here


Now for the Triple action soothing wash.
As you can see the bottle is pretty yet still subtle and for a bargain £3.69 you get so much product. Instead of rambling on about the goodness of the product I've tried to get a decent picture of the info on the bottle itself so have a read and believe me when I say it really is just as amazing/simple as it says. Like it says, 'soothes.cleanses.cares', It's another product you need to try to believe how drastic the difference is when using this compared to a regular body wash.
You can purchase this here.

Good Enough to Eat - Birchbox April 2014

This month Birchbox have taken inspiration from the kitchen to create this box titled 'Good Enough to Eat'. Let's have a look what was inside....





TheBalm Cosmetics How 'Bout Them Apples? Cheek & Lip Cream - LOVE THIS SAMPLE!! It is sooo adorable and I love TheBalm as a brand so I was super happy to see this in my box. In fact, after having a play with this I'm tempted to buy the full palette which retails for £26

Lord & Berry Couture Kohl Kajal Pencil - A good eyeliner is a staple in every make-up bag and this one fits the bill nicely. This retails for £10

Colour Club Gala's Gems Nail Polish - This is part of Birchbox's collaboration with London based Spanish blogger, Gala Gonzales. This colour is perfect for Easter and it is actually a Birchbox exclusive shade meaning you won't find this anywhere else! You can purchase this range for £15 for a set of 4

Yes to Cucumbers Facial Wipes - I've seen this brand around before and I've always been tempted by it so I'm happy to be able to try these out. These retail for £4.99

Campos De Ibizi Almendra Body Milk - A light almond body milk to hydrate your skin. I love the smell of almonds, its one of my favourite scents in the whole wide world but unfortunately this did not smell like almonds. It wasn't bad, but it could have been so much better. This retails for £16.55

And this month's little Lifestyle Extra was this Sweet Coconut & Vanilla Propercorn which I haven't eaten yet but it looks good. This retails for 90p
