Lush: The sweetest thing gift box + big sea salt shampoo ♡

When I'd run out of shampoo I decided to stop by Lush to try out a new one! I ended up buying the Big Sea Salt Shampoo because it was bursting full of moisture when it was added to water and the sea salt bits were really cool. Also I couldn't resist picking up The Sweetest Thing gift box to try out as well!

Big Sea Salt Shampoo ~ £11.25 ♡

"Have a big hair day

This is like having your hair lifted on a sea breeze

We love salt on the hair because it’s great for giving volume. We experimented with it for a very long time before coming up with this, our ultimate salt shampoo."

When I use this shampoo, the smell and texture of my hair reminds me of being at the seaside again! It smells really good and when it is added to water it feels silky. Only a small amount is needed for my thick hair to give a good lather although you can use more if you want to. Sometimes there is a tiny, tiny amount of salt residue left in my hair but it is unnoticeable unless you comb through it thoroughly. Usually all of the salt dissolves in the water. I feel that using this shampoo has also made it super-fast to dry my hair - only 10 minutes! My boyfriend has also complimented me on the smell of my hair and uses this shampoo himself. It gives a little volume, feels light and airy and cleanses product build-up in the hair. Must be careful not to drop this open in the bath though! x[

The Sweetest Thing ~ £11.50 ♡

"Oh, oh, oh, ain't Lush the sweetest thing? A trio of sweet and sparkly goodies.

Woah Wo the Sweetest Thing, try reading this tag without wanting to burst into song, go on try!

The Sweetest Thing was created as a party pack, perfect for any occasion that calls for sparkles and celebrations."

This lovely little party pack contains:

♡ 30g Shimmy Shimmy Glitter Bar

♡ 100g Sweetie Pie Shower Jelly

♡ 70g The Godmother Soap

The packaging is really cute and also included is a products leaflet with ingredients listed and of course colourful Ecoflo puffs to protect the contents from bumps.

Shimmy Shimmy Glitter Bar ♡

"Smooth this vanilla-scented shimmy all over your skin and sparkle like a disco diva!" 

This cute little heart-shaped bar smells like white chocolate and is full of golden shimmers. It can be used to highlight legs or the collarbone, but is subtle enough to use all over the body daily without a bronzing effect. It is lovely and creamy. It also lasts a really long time - I still have another one given to me from last Christmas! I'd recommend using this often as it'll go a little icky over a long time.

Sweetie Pie Shower Jelly ~ £3.10 (100g sold individually) ♡

"If a bar of soap and a bottle of shower gel had a steamy affair, this would be the resulting jelly baby 

Cherries, coconut, jelly and sparkles – this is a party in a pot. Makes every day feel like it’s your birthday. 

This is a sweet, sweet little cutie-pie. We start this jelly by making an infusion with cherries and coconut, we then add carrageen seaweed and boil it up until it turns all jelly and wobbly on us. Then we have to get it into the mould quickly, before it sets in the pan!"

This is by far my favourite product from this set! It's all squidgy and smells like sweeties, so I always end up playing around with it in the bath. Because it is very slippery and can be a little bit hard to use. The purple colour is gorgeous and it is full of glitters. I think this product would go great with a Space Girl bath bomb!

The Godmother Soap ~ £2.95 (100g sold individually) ♡

"For hands that do more than just wishes

Godmother is much kinder on your skin than liquid soap, which is full of preservatives and antibacterial chemicals. Stop using those nasty pump soaps please and switch to this. Keep a bar by your kitchen sink and reach for it whenever you need to wash your hands. Use it all around the house – perfect for washing after any household chores." 

This soap smells like candyfloss and I only need a small amount to clean my hands. Usually my hands are really dry after I wash them so I have to use hand creams, but this soap is gentle and leaves my hands soft and feeling moisturised. The star shape also make this an awesome addition to the bathroom or kitchen.

Circle lens review: Geo princess mimi apple green ♡

Today I will be reviewing the very popular Geo Princess Mimi lenses in Apple Green. This was my first time trying out green circle lenses!

These are from PinkyParadise, which is generally my go-to place for purchasing circle lenses. They sell a huge variety of lenses, most offered at a range of prescriptions, as well as accessories, make-up and face masks. Their shipping and communication is always fast and reliable. They also have an on-going promotion where you receive a free contact lens case with every pair of lenses you order, which is super-convenient. Please remember to be hygienic when handling your lenses and take care of your eyes, as they are so precious.

Statistics ♡

Diameter: 15.00mm

Water Content: 38%

Base Curve: 8.7mm

Type: 1 Year Disposal

Please excuse what is probably my boyfriend's sockies on the floor. ;___;

Design ♡

The colour of these lenses are a gorgeous shade of green suitable for darker eyes because they show up well but blend in nicely with my eye colour at the same time. I really like the overall design of these and the black limbal ring. They look pretty with dramatic make-up, but can look OTT with a bare face.

Comfort ♡
Geo lenses have always been super-comfy for me and these are no exception. I could wear these all day without discomfort.

Enlargement ♡
Very prominent enlargement at 15.00mm. Looks good but a little freakish if you open your eyes wide.

My Thoughts ♡
I absolutely love the design and they're super-comfy too! I would definitely recommend these for people with darker eyes or those looking for eye enlargement.

You can buy these here from PinkyParadise.


Lots of love,

ami ♡

Sana hadanomy collagen skincare range ♡

This is a little review about the milk, lotion and wash from the Sana Hadanomy Collagen skincare range!

I bought these products from Pretty&Cute, and I must say, they really impressed me with this order! I made my order on 11th May and the it was shipped on 14th May by International Priority mail (10-15 business days). The shipping  was $26.11 - which is quite expensive, however bear in mind that these are quite heavy products. I received my package on 27th May. From past experiences with this company, they usually send a free sample of your choice, plus one or two bow-shaped hair fringes. This time, instead of the fringes, I received this super-generous sample of Jealousness rose cleanser! I love it so much! It smells like the Cath Kidston bath set I wrote about in this post. It also matches with the Hadanomy range, cute!

Here's a little description from the Pretty&Cute website about the Sana Hadanomy Collagen range:

"Sana Hadanomy Collagen [Range] has a moisture retention formula and micro collagen to make your skin look and feel smooth. Contains Hyluronic Acid, which plays an important role in our skin's ability to stay youthful. As we get older, our skin will start to lose the ability to keep hydrated and hold on to moisture. This creates wrinkles and sagginess. While collagen firms skin, it's not effective without Hyaluronic Acid. Honey extracts binds moisture to the skin and helps it stay hydrated. So it not only smoothes dry, rough, wrinkled skin, but honey also makes skin supple and plumps up wrinkles. Acerola extract has an antioxidant action that helps to protect against free radical damage that can accelerate skin aging. Evens skin tone and brighten skin and boosts production of collagen and elastin. Also, helps increase skin’s ability to retain moisture."

The first thing I'd like to say about this range is that the packaging is so, so cute! I love the pink and white theme going on and the lace heart print. Also this range smells really delicious like lychees!! I think it's great that this range serves a multitude of different purposes - anti-aging, brightening, firming, smoothing and hydrating - whilst cleansing the skin at the same time. Saves a lot of time in my skincare regime and money from having to buy lots of different products! Each of these products contains 1000mg of micro collagen which helps to slow down the ageing process by preventing wrinkles and maintaining elasticity of the skin.

Sana Hadanomy Collagen Milk ~ $17.99 ♡

I can really feel the moisture in this milk the moment I apply it on my face! It forms a hydrating layer over my skin that feels really soothing to massage in. I have oily/combination skin and although this milk feels quite rich at first, it absorbs within a few minutes, leaving my skin feeling toned, firm and hydrated. You also need hardly any product at all to cover the face and neck.

Sana Hadanomy Collagen Lotion (300ml) ~ $17.99 ♡

This lotion actually has the purpose of a toner. It is a jelly-like substance that firms and cleanses the skin. I also use it around my eyes and it doesn't irritate or sting at all. It freshens the skin and doesn't feel greasy or oily. I'd recommend using this product after a cleanser and eye make-up remover to remove any left over residues and impurities.

Sana Hadanomy Collagen Wash ~ $14.99 ♡

I absolutely love this face wash!! It comes out as a foam that cleanses thoroughly and feels super-fresh and relaxing. It feels really smooth on the skin and I always just want to apply more and more! It can even clean off eye make-up residues with one quick swipe. Every time I use this my skin looks noticeably brighter and lighter, so I recommend this one for girlies who like to have lighter skin.

I really do recommend this range, although I cannot comment on the anti-ageing properties as of yet, I can tell you it really does firm, tone and brighten! I look forward to using these products in my skincare routine because they are a treat to use!

Thanks for reading!
