Lush's Lip Scrubs - Review

Just a quick, 'OMG HAVE YOU TRIED THIS?!' post. This pot of goodness it ticking all my boxes: Sugar, caramel and super soft lips. Where can a girl go wrong?

As per usual, I'm 2 hours late to the party on lip scrubs - I have too many lip balms to justify more lip things. Alas, 4 hours of a really unsuccessful shopping trip drew me towards Lush. Obviously. And the lady who served me was too nice to turn down. Obviously. And obviously, 24 hours later, I'm obsessed by it.

The trick with this scrub is to just pat your finger on the sugar and then massage it into your lips. You need the tiniest amount, but more can be applied. Then (which is by far the best bit), you lick it off. I think for the price (£5.25 each) this is really amazing stuff; usually I would spend no more than £2 on lip balms, but the scrub works well and will last me a while - if my mum doesn't get her hands on it first.

The flavour I picked up was the popcorn one, quite simply because the shop assistant said it was like a salted caramel taste. If you haven't tried salted caramel or fudge where have you been?! It's God's gift to Earth. The Scrubs also come in a Mint Julep (think After 8s) and Bubblegum (which is hot pink).

Finally, a product that really gives me the softest lips AND tickles my sweet tooth. YAY!

Oh the temptation I resisted whilst taking this photo...

Topshop Make Up - Glitter Eyes

It's been a while, hasn't it? I mean since my last beauty post, but oh my gosh it's worth it. For one, it's glitter and that's reason enough to shout out your own window to the rest of the street at how light reflecting and flipping amaze balls (cringe all you like, it's a thing I'm now saying) it is.

Anywho, this glittery goodness is from good old Topshop, the holy grail of highstreet brands. It's got a built in primer in the lid (with a tiny mirror too) and on the bottom is the glitter in a pot.

Let's begin with aesthetics: the packaging of the product is compact, simple and true to the rest of the Topshop make up range. Bottom line: it fits it's purpose and that's all I can ask for.

The glitter and the primer combination work well together; the primer is has a harder, tacky consistency which holds the glitter on reasonably well. The glitter itself is finely ground and not itchy like I expected, and feared.

I wore it for my birthday festivities: winged out on my eyelids and also on my lower lash and dusted on my cheekbones. My mum used it dusted on top of her bronzed smokey eye, too. I think the product has great versatility, and I've got my eye on the silver one too for the winter. *swoon*
