NOTD: Neon Rainbow

This was yesterday's NOTD.




The colours are much brighter in real life, but blogger has the tendacy to tone colours done in pics :S.

These were the polishes I used (except for the yellow one).
The brand is Max and you can buy it at the Action for €1,39.


From left to right: Flashing Yellow, Screaming Green, Smashing Orange, Kicking Pink, Splashing Purple and Shocking Blue.


For some reason the pink appears the least shimmery and orange the most shimmery.
I used a base coat (Catrice), applied 2 coats of the polishes and sealed it with a top coat (also Catrice).
Overall, the coverage was good.
Only the purple needs at least one more layer

So, what do you think of this bright NOTD?
Got any requests of what kind of NOTD's you would like to see?
Let me know.

Until next time,

Freya

Haul: Action Beauty Products

Yesterday, I went shopping at the Action.
They sell regular and expensive brand for small prices, the only thing that's different is that the packaging is in another language, like Polish or Russian.


I picked up a lightly tanning body lotion bye AXE (a brand especially for men).


It cost me only €0.69!

I also bought 2 blue Waterproof Body Art Pencils by L'Oreal, €0,29 each.


Action also has their own make-up brand, called "Max".
I bought some false lashes (set of 3) for €0,79.



And 2 nail polishes €0,45 each.


One is a dark, shimmery orange and the other one is a bright pink without shimmer.

And a set of 6 neon nailpolishes, also by Max (€1,39).




The colours are really bright and have shimmer in them.
I really like the colours and the polishes actually turn out to be really good (although I never expected that).

And last, but not least, I bought a bottle of Aloe Vera Gel (€1,79) which is great as an after-sun product.



Since it was really cheap, I could afford to shop a little without feeling guilty (I'm on a tight budget right now).
Essentially, I got all this for only €6,14 , so yay :D.

I'm thinking I might include some of these products in my first give-away, if these products prove to be any good.
Would that be a good idea, you think?

Do you occasionally shop at Action, or other cheap stores?
And do you like make-up by Max?
Let me know what you think.

Until next time,

Freya

Summer Secrets: Great Summer Legs

The perfect accessory to your bikini's, skirts and dresses is undoubtedly a pair of great summer legs.


But how do you achieve that???

Especially after covering them up in winter, they need some serious maintenance, and here's how you do it:

Step 1: Exfoliating
First, you start by giving your legs a good scrub. This way you get rid of your dead skin cells, make your skin glow and feel soft and it also makes your tan look better and last longer!

Scrub your body in circular motions for a few minutes to get rid of your dead skin cells and to improve blood circulation.

These are the scrubs I like to use on my legs:

* Sugar Babe: Lush)


This is a very coarse sugar scrub.
It does a great job at making your skin soft and smooth but if you don't like coarse scrubs, this one isn't for you.
Sugar Babe leaves a hydrating layer on your skin, but not greasy at all, just soft.
It has a soft, sweet, mild flowery scent (Ylang Ylang and Mimosa) that reminds me of clean baby's, and there's a red core in the center of the scrub.
Instead of taking the whole scrub with you in the shower, it's better to smash it up and put it in a jar. If you don't, a lot of your precious Sugar Babe will end up in the drain :(.

*I give Sugar Babe 5 stars, because it's simply perfect.*

*A Sugar Scrub (Lush)


This one is also coarse.
You use it in the same way as Sugar Babe, but the smell and effect of A Sugar Scrub is different.
A Sugar Scrub smells green (there is Vetivert in it) and is supposed to battle cellulite.
This one is more invigorating than Sugar Babe, but Sugar Babe is definitely more hydrating.

*Sugar Scrub get's 4 stars, because it isn't very hydrating.*

*You Snap The Whip (Lush)


You Snap The Whip is a coarse scrub with pumice in it. Though it isn't as coarse as it used to be, you still need to be careful not to scratch your skin if there happens to be a bit of pumice in it that is a bit too large. If you're careful there's nothing to worry about, and it's actually a very good scrub.
The pumice exfoliates your skin and the nourishing Cocoa Butter and Organic Macadamia Nut Oil hydrate your skin and leaves it non-greasy but extremely soft.
You Snap The Whip also makes you smell like berries :D (it's scented with the same fragrance as "The Comforter".
I usually cut it up in small blocks (± 9 or 12 blocks) and take only a few of them with me when I shower. If you don't, YSTW will only last for 1 or 2 showers.

*You Snap The Whip deserves 4 stars, because it's not always scrubby enough and sometimes too scrubby.*

*Smooch! sugar scrubs (Villainess)


My favourite of the Smooch! sugar scrubs that's in the regular collection, is Ginger Snapped.
This is a spicy one that smells like Speculaas cookies (it's a Dutch cookies).
You can smell cinnamon, ginger and other spices in it.
Every Smooch! smells different and also has different scrubby things and different effects.
Ginger Snapped has brown sugar to exfoliate.
You can scrub gently with it, if you want, but it can also be a coarser one if you scrub harder.
Ginger Snapped also has a warming effect.
It releases a rush of warmth on impact to open pores and soothe skin.

*Ginger Snapped Smooch! is a perfect scrub and therefore get's 5 stars.*

*Pure Coconut Oil Leg And Body Scrub (Inecto)


This is a mild scrub that still scrubs enough to be useful.
It smells like coconut, which gives me a summery feeling, and the coconut oil makes your skin hydrated and very soft.
What's also great about this scrub, is that it comes in a tube, which makes it perfect to take with you on a holiday (or to the gym) and it's easy to use when you are in a hurry or when you have a small bathroom.

*Inecto Coconut get's 4 stars because it isn't very scrubby, but it does hydrate well and it comes in a handy tube.*

Step 2: Shaving

To have smooth, touchable legs, you need to shave away those hairs.
Essential is a good rasor with 4 blades (I always use a rasor by Gilette) and a good shaving cream.
It's better not to use a shaving foam (like from Gilette) because they usually dry out your skin.
The best option is a shaving cream, but a hydrating shower gel or even a conditioner will work if you don't have anything else.

My favourite shaving products:

*Dirty Shaving Cream (Bnever)


Sadly, Bnever doesn't exist anymore, but lucky for us, Lush will start making it soon :D.
This is a true shaving cream, but better than I had expected..
After trying Ambrosia by Lush, I was reluctant to try this one, but this is actually the best shaving product I have ever had!!!
Just put a royal amount of this on your legs and start shaving, it's that easy!
Dirty Shaving Cream doesn't clog your rasor, it makes shaving easy because the rasor glides over the skin and it's extremely hydrating (but not at all) greasy.
I actually don't need a body lotion after this one (and I always need to use body lotion after showering).

*Not suprisingly, Dirty Shaving Cream get's 5 starts for it's perfection!!!*

*A Jelly (Lush)


Just take any Jelly by Lush, and put it in the blender.
With this substance it's easy to shave.
One blendered jelly provides enough *Shaving cream* for weeks, though it also depends on how often you shave.
The special thing about the jelly's is the Carrageenan Extract, which is extracted from Irish Moss Seaweed.
This amazing extract makes skin really soft somehow (and your hair too, if you wash it with it).
A blendered jelly makes your hairs soft, which makes them easy to shave, and it also makes the rasor blade glide over your skin.

*A blendered jelly is a perfect shaving cream, so 5 stars is the reward.*

*Fluffy Stuff Foaming Cream Soap (Grumpy Girl)


I have this product in 2 scents: Hot Tranny Mess (Lush's Rock Star dupe) and Girly Girl (Pink Sugar dupe).
These scents are both very sweet and delicious.
Fluffy Stuff is a very fluffy cream soap, that is highly fragranced and makes your skin really soft.
It foams a bit, which makes it easy too wash with and it's great for shaving.
You just grab a bit of the Fluffy Stuff and spread it around your legs and shave.
It makes the razor glide over your skin and it's easy to shave with this.
This product also makes your skin soft after shaving/showering and the scent lingers for a long time.

*Another 5 star product, Fluffy Stuff Foaming Cream Soap!*

Step 3: Moisturising.

After exfoliating and shaving it's time to hydrate your skin.
You can use a light body lotion or body milk, but if you really want great results and super soft legs with a glow, you're gonna need something stronger than that.
It's best to use a very hydrating body lotion or body butter or even a massage bar or oil if you want it very shiny.

My favourite body butter was from a brand called "The Secret Garden" which doesn't exist anymore.
Among my favourites are also a lot of limited editon body lotions by Lush.

These are my favourites (that can still be bought):

*Dream Cream (Lush)


This is probably one of the best body lotions ever.
It very hydrating and calming, it's even said to help relieve skin problems like excema.
Chamomile an lavender calm irritations, reduce redness and banish blotches.
It has a lot of other great ingredients in it: Rose essential oil, oat milk and olive oil, amongst others.
When I use Dream Cream, my skin is completely hydrated and soothed and way less blotchy (which is a necessity when you are baring your skin in summer).
It also gives a sheen to my skin, which makes it look healthy.
Dream Cream smells a bit herbal, like lavender and other herbs, but the scent doesn't linger, so you can use it if you don't like herbal scents.

*I actually want to give this one more than 5 stars, but since I can't I'll stick to just 5.*

*Crème Anglaise (Lush)


Another great moisturiser by Lush.
Like Dream Cream, Crème Anglaise isn't a light body lotion.
It's more of a highly hydrating body lotion.
This one smells strong and sweet of honey and vanilla amongst other things.
It's made from some of the finest ingredients available, which makes it more expensive, but it's definitely worth the price.
This one hydrates and calms well, smells great, and gives a nice healthy glow to your skin.

*Another 5 star product, Crème Anglaise!*

*Goat's Milk, Shea Butter & Honey Lotion (Grumpy Girl)


This body lotion is bit like a balm.
It hyrates well, makes your skin very soft and is highly fragranced (you can choose the scent you want from the list, including Lush dupes).
The difference between these body lotions and the ones by Lush, is that these doesn't give a sheen/glow to you skin.

*Goat's Milk, Shea Butter & Honey Lotion get's 4 stars, because it doesn't give a glow to your skin.*

*Whipped! (Villainess)


A whipped body butter that matches with a Smooch!.
My favourite Whipped! would probably be Ginger Snapped Whipped!, because of the scent.
This whipped body butter is very hydrating but not oily (usually body butters tend to be a bit or a lot oily/greasy).
This product does give a sheen to your skin, even though it isn't oily.

*Whipped! get's 4 stars.*

*Body Butter (The Body Shop)


The Body Butters by The Body Shop are hydrating, but not greasy.
They are like a body lotion, but more solid (if that makes any sense).
These body butters are not very greasy but hydrate well and they come in a wide variety of scents, my favourites being: Almond, Raspberry, Passion Fruit and Blueberry.
The scents linger for a long time, especially the raspberry.
It gives a nice sheen to your skin as well, which is great for nice summer legs.

*These Body Butters get 3,5 stars, because they have less natural ingredients and more chemicals.*

*Rice-Ginger Body Lotion (Suhada Nature)


This brand is only available once a year.
In december you can buy it at Lidl supermarkets, so you have to buy enough for the whole year ;).
This one smells strongly of ginger (which I love), it's a real invigorating scent.
This body lotion is just as hydrating as Lush's body lotions, which is rare for such a cheap products (it costs under 5 euro's).
Like Lush's body lotions it also gives a great sheen/glow to your skin, which I love.

*Rice-Ginger body lotion definitely deserves 5 stars!*

After exfoliating, shaving and moisturising you are ready to expose yourself to the world.
If you want, you can also use a shimmery product on your legs, to make them glow even more.

Lush can be bought here (UK) and here (NL).
Villainess can be bought here (USA) and here (NL)
Grumpy Girl can be found here
The Body Shop products can't be ordered in The Netherlands, but they can be ordered here (USA)

I know I've rated the products high, but that's because I wrote about amazing products today, my favourites!

I hope this article is helpful to you all.
Have you got any favourite products that give you great summer legs?
Let me know if you do!

Until next time,

New Lush Products

One of my favourite natural cosmetics brands is Lush.
They often bring out new products, and I wanted to give you all an update on all that is new.
(I usually order from Lush UK, so the prices listed in this post are the UK prizes.)

Summer Pudding Soap


Lush UK website description:

It's a creamy soap that scents your body with Simon's fruity "Berried Treasure" of buchu and citrus. We make it with scrubby ground almonds, softening almond oil, and cleansing lemon oil.
You'll find it difficult to resist a slice of pudding.

Ingredients:

Water (Aqua), Propylene Glycol, Rapeseed Oil (Brassica napus), Coconut Oil (Cocos nucifera), Ground Almonds (Prunus dulcis), Sodium Stearate, Sodium Lauryl Sulphate, Glace Cherries (Prunus cerasus), Perfume, Almond Oil (Prunus dulcis), Buchu Oil (Barosma betulina), Juniper Berry Oil (Juniperus communis), Lemon Oil (Citrus limonum), Glycerine, Sodium Chloride, EDTA, Tetrasodium Etidronate, Sodium Hydroxide, Titanium Dioxide, Gardenia Extract (Gardenia jasminoides), *Limonene, *Linalool, Colour 17200, Colour 14700.

*Occurs naturally in essential oils.

The natural ingredients are coloured purple and the safe synthetics are coloured black.

Price: £2,95 for 100g.

*I'm curious to what this soap would smell like. Would it smell like Snowcake and berries?
Would it smell like Happy Blooming Luxury Bath Melt? Or would it smell like something totally different? I like to think Summer Pudding would smell amazing. Sadly I already own enough soap to wash myself for the next 10 years, so I really don't need anymore *sighs*.*

9 to 5 Liquid Cleanser


Lush UK website description:

Excellent for sensitive skin.
Mark created this one a long time ago and named it "Orchi Oil Cleanser".
It's taken a while to get it into Lush, but our customers where crying out for a liquid cleanser.
Orchids and everlasting flower soothe and clean the skin thoroughly with a mild antibacterial action, and almond smoothes the skin.
It's great for taking of stubborn make-up and gives a fresh feeling after use.

Ingredients:

Water(Aqua), Almond Oil (Prunus dulcis), Stearic Acid, Fresh Dove Orchid Extract (Dendrobium), Everlasting Flower Absolute (Helichrysum italicum), Ylang, Ylang Oil (Cananga odorata), Triethanolamine), Cetearyl Alcohol, Perfume, Methylparaben, Propylparaben.

The natural ingredients are coloured purple and the safe synthetics are coloured black.

Price: £3,95 for 95g and £7,95 for 240g.

*I've been waiting for Lush to make a liquid cleanser for years, and now it's finally here, hurray.
Though Lush's solid cleansers are great, they are a bit unpractical when you are in a hurry or when you're going somewhere (like the gym, a holiday or your boyfriend's house), so a liquid cleanser was definitely needed! Can't wait to try this one and see if it cleans thoroughly enough without drying my skin.*

Silk Stockings Solid Body Tint


Lush UK website description:

Pull on a pair of your silkiest stockings.
Silk Stockings is one of our new solid body tints.
This is the one for pale skins that need some colour and even tones.
It's a pinky blend of colours that melts onto the skin and gives a natural looking tint.
It also washes off easily, so your sheets won't suffer melty messes.

Ingredients:

Cocoa Butter (Theobroma cacao), Shea Butter (Butyrospermum parkii), Perfume, Rose Absolute (Rosa damascena), Jasmine Absolute (Jasminum grnadiflorum), Sandalwood Oil (Santalum austro-caledonicum vieill and Fusanus spicatus), *Benzyl Salicylate, *Euegniol, *Geraniol, *Benzyl Benzoate, *Farnesol, *Limonene, *Linalool, Isoeugenol, Hydroxycitronellal, Alumina, Tin Oxide, Colour 77891, Colour 77019, Colour 77491.

*Occurs naturally in essential oils.

The natural ingredients are coloured purple and the safe synthetics are coloured black.

Price: £7,50 for 30g.

*Since I'm pale skinned, this one would probably suit my skin very well. I wonder if it's like a solid (and perhaps lighter) version of the liquid body tint "Charlotte Island". Silk Stockings is fragranced with the scent of Fever massagebar, which I like but I'm not extremely fond of.*

Black Stockings Solid Body Tint


Lush UK website description:

When silk won't do, try a pair of black stockings.
Black Stockings is the body tint for tanned or black skin.
The combination of darker colours gives a stunningly realistic tan and evens out the skin tones.
It has a blend that will remind you of warm Caribbean beaches.

Ingredients:

Cocoa Butter (Theobroma cacao), Shea Butter (Butyrospermum parkii), Perfume, Cinnamon Leaf Oil (Cinnamomum zeylanicum), Sweet Orange Oil (Citrus sinensis), Pimento Berry Oil (Pimenta officinalis), *Cinnamyl Alcohol, *Cinnamal, *Eugenol, *Benzyl Benzoate, *Limonene, *Linalool, Alumina, Tin OZide, Colour 77891, Colour 77019, Colour 77491.

*Occurs naturally in essential oils.

The natural ingredients are coloured purple and the safe synthetics are coloured black.

Price: £7,50 for 30g.

*Being a cinnamon addict (yes, I really LOVE the smell and taste of cinnamon) this body tint seems lovely to me. Sadly I don't have the right skin tone for this one :(.*

Tuca Tuca Perfume


Lush UK website description:

The scent of a bright pop song. Tuca Tuca is whimsical; it teases with a fantasy violet accord and works it's way into your subconscious. As it settles, you get hints of jasmine and vanilla, too.

Ingredients:

DRF Alcohol, Perfume, Cassie Absolute (Acacia farnesiana), Vanilla Absolute (Vanilla planifolia), Sandalwood Oil (Santalum austro-caledonicum vieill), Vetivert Oil (Vetiveria zizanoides), Violet Leaf Absolute (Viola odorata), Ylang Ylang Oil (Cananga odorata), *Benzyl Salicylate, *Eugeniol, *Geraniol, *Benzyl Benzoate, *Benzyl Cinnamate, *Farnesol, *Limonene, *Linalool.

*Occurs naturally in essential oils.

The natural ingredients are coloured purple and the safe synthetics are coloured black.

Price: £11,00 for 9g and £23,00 for 27g.

*Since I love and collect ALL the perfumes by Lush (and Bnever) I can hardly wait to try (and own) this one :D. I can't really imagine what it would smell like (except for floral and interesting) but when I look at the ingredient list it reminds me a bit of my Bathos perfume.
Tuca Tuca is available in a bottle and in a spritzer.*

Tuca Tuca Massage Bar


Lush UK website description:

It has a soothing extract of fresh rose petals, moisturising cocoa and shea butters, and a seductive violet scent that flirts with sensuality. It's a massage experience that will do all the work for you. Grab the bar, dim the lights, and tuca tuca!

Ingredients:

Cocoa Butter (Theobroma cacao), Shea Butter (Butyrospermum parkii), Perfume, Fresh Rose Petal Extract (Rosa damascena), Cassie Absolute (Acacia farnesiana), Vanilla Absolute (Vanilla planifolia), Sandalwood Oil (santalum austro-caledonicum vieill), Vetivert Oil (Vetiveria zizanoides), Violet Leaf Absolute (Viola odorata), Ylang Ylang Oil (Cananga odorata), *Benzyl Salicylate, *Cinnamal, *Coumarin, *Eugenol, *Geraniol, *Benzyl Benzoate, *Farnesol, *Limonene, *Linalool, Titanium Dioxide, Colour 77019, Colour 77007.

*Occurs naturally in essential oils.

The natural ingredients are coloured purple and the safe synthetics are coloured black.

Price: £5,00 for 45g.

*This massage bar has the same fragrance as the Tuca Tuca Perfume. It think this one looks really cute with the purple letters on top. I will definitely buy this one if I like the Tuca Tuca fragrance.*

It Started With A Kiss Tinted Lip Balm


Lush UK website description:

Sugar and spice and all things nice.
Our red apple, cinnamon and white chocolate flavour is delicious. It's a perfect blend of spice and sweetness, and it makes you think of toffee apples. No one will be able to resist your tempting pout when you wear this, and kissing will swiftly follow.

Ingredients:

Apparently they aren't listed on the site yet. It does say on the product page, that "Fresh Red Apple Infusion, White Chocolate, Icing Sugar en Cinnamon Leaf Oil" are in this lip balm.

Price: £4,95 for 10g.

*This sounds absolutely yummy :D and I've been wishing for a red tinted lip balm by Lush for a while, so I guess they answered my prayer ;).*

Double Choc Tinted Lip Balm


Lush UK website description:

A tint and hint of chocolate.
Hazulnut and brazil nut oils moisturise and protect the lips, while icing sugar and black treacle give it a sweet, creamy texture. This balm has a little colour, too, to tint your lips with creamy chocolate. Try to resist licking it off...

Ingredients:

Once again, the ingredients aren't listed, but these ingredients are in this lip balm for sure: hazelnut, brazil nut oil, dark chocolate, icing sugar and black treacle.

Price: £4,95 for 10g.

*This lip balm seems yummy as well. I'm just not sure if this one would look good on my lips, since I'm very light skinned. I guess there's only one way to find out if it's light enough for me to wear or too dark ;).*

Fizzbanger Bath Ballistic


Lush UK website description:

The scent of forbidden fruit.
The Fizzbanger has the Love fragrance, a perfume from "B", but it's separated in this ballistic.
First, you get the scent of sweet apples; then, you get a hint of cinnamon and toffee. When you drop it into the bath, the water changes colour again and again, from yellow to blue to a deep green. Like all of our new ballistics, it takes ages to fizz away, so you get to enjoy the experience for longer. It's a good excuse to stay in the bath until someone makes you get out.

This ballistic has lots of fizzy candy inside, so it pops and explodes in the water like an experiment gone awry.


Ingredients:

Sodium Bicarbonate, Citric Acid, Fizzy Candy, Cream Of Tartar (Tartaric Acid), Sodium Lauretht Sulfate, Cinnamon Leaf Oil (Cinnamomum zeylanicum), Petitgrain Oil (Citrus Aurantium amara), Ylang Ylang Oil (Cananga odorata), Gardenia Extract (Gardenia jasminoides), Cocoamide DEA, Lauryl Betaine, Coumarin, *Eugenol, *Linalool, Perfume, C0lour 42090.

*Occurs naturally in essential oils

The natural ingredients are coloured purple and the safe synthetics are coloured black.

Price: £2,95 for 200g.

*Of the new ballistics, this is the one I'm most curious about. I like the Love fragance (I also own the perfume) and the colour changing and the fizzy candy all seem really cool to me. I think it will make for a very interesting bathing experience (and not to mention a fantastic smelling one)!*

Dragon's egg


Lush UK website description:

Bath-time fireball.
As you bathe in the whirlpool of vibrant, fiery colour and inhale the refreshing sherbet scent of lemon and bergamot, you'll feel like you're up and away on the back of your own dragon.
Popping candy pops around you, glitter swirls in shimmering circles and your bath becomes the birthing ground of a baby dragon. Well, in a way.


Ingredients:

Sodium Bicarbonate, Citric Acid, Fizzy Candy, Perfume, Cream of Tartar (Tartaric Acid), Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Lemon Oil (Citrus limonum), Bergamot Oil (Citrus Aurantium bergamia), Jasmine Absolute (Jasminum grandiflorum), Cocamide DEA, Lauryl Betaine, Propylene Glycol, Gardenia Extract (Gardenia jasminoides), *Citral, *Limonene, *Linalool, Colour 17200, Colour 14700, Colour 45410, Colour 15510, Golden Glitter (Polyethylene terephthalate), Golden Lustre Sparkle, Rice Paper.

*Occurs naturally in essential oils.

The natural ingredients are coloured purple and the safe synthetics are coloured black.

Price: £2,95 for 200g.

*What an interesting ballistic, this one. I am curious to how the glittery swirls would look in my bath and if the scent is actually as refreshing citrusy as it sounds, or more of a sweet citrusy scent.*

Twilight Bath Ballistic


Lush UK website description:

Your swan song before bed.
Twilight softens your entire body, and it even twinkles like starlight as the glitter is released.
When it fizzes, the shift from pink to indigo looks like the sun setting in the night sky. It's the most relaxing bath-time treat yet and will transform you from Edward Sullen to a human being again.


Ingredients:

Sodium Bicarbonate, Citric Acid, Cream of Tartar (Tartaric Acid), Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Lavender Oil (Lavendula angustifolia), Benzoin Resinoid (styrax tonkinensis pierre), Tonka Absolute (Dipteryx odorata), Ylang Ylang Oil (Cananga odorata), Cocoamide DEA, Lauryl Betaine, *Coumarin, *Linalool, Perfume, Colour 442090, Colour 14700, Colour 17200, Colour 45410, Iridescent Glitter (Polyethylene terephthalate and Acrylates copolymer).

*Occurs naturally in essential oils.

The natural ingredients are coloured purple and the safe synthetics are coloured black.

Price: £2,95 for 200g.

*Yay, finally a Twilight inspired Lush product (is a big Twilight fan). Once again a ballistic that changes colour in your bath (which I like :D ) and a lot of shimmer (which isn't bad either).
I think I would really enjoy the relaxing lavender scent and would fall a sleep and dream deep after bathing with Twilight. It was time for a new relaxing bath ballistic that wasn't too small for anyone besides baby's, and here it finally is.*

Mrs Whippy Bath Ballistic


Lush UK website description:

Strawberry ice cream bath.
There is soya milk in the middle, so the water becomes extra softenend when the ballistic fizzes dwon t the centre. It's a milk bath like cleopatra used to have, and it's great for soothing skin after intense sunshine. Mrs. Whippy fizzes slowly, giving you a long-lasting soak and smooth skin.


Ingredients:

Sodium Bicarbonate, Citric Acid, Soya Milk Powder *Glycerine soja), Tapioca Flour, Perfume, Cream Of Tartar (Tartaric acid), Fairtrade Sugar, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Cocoa Absolute (Theobroma cacao), Tonka absolute (Dipteryx odorata), Almond Essential Oil (Prunus dulcis), Buchu Oil (Barosma betulina), Titanium Dioxide, Cocamide DEA, Lauryl Betaine, *Coumarin, *Eugenol, *Limonene, Colour 14700, Colour 17200, Colour 45410.

*Occurs naturall in essential oils.

The natural ingredients are coloured purple and the safe synthetics are coloured black.

Price: £2,50 for 90g.

*This seems more hydrating than the other new ballistics. Since I'm allergic to dairy I like that Lush uses soya milk in this ballistic. Also, it looks just really cute ^^.*

As you can see, Lush launched a lot of fantastic and pretty innovative new products.
They've made something for everyone and for different skin types and colours.

Lush has also released some new gifts, but I'll write about them later, since this post has become way too long already.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to trying them when I can finally afford them ;).

Will you be buying some of these products, or have you tried some of them already?
Please leave a comment if you will/have.

Until next time,

Freya
