My Bath Essentials - Ashlea x

My Bath Essentials!

As none of you know, I spend quite a lot of time just relaxing in the bath. I have a couple of baths a week but would have more if it wasn't for the cost and time wasting filling up the tub. But when I was waiting for the bath to fill up today (Sunday) I realised that every time I have one, I use the same three products to create the perfect bubble bath, it's bubble bath or no bath for me.

These three products include:

The Body Shop's Raspberry Ripple Bath and shower gel 250ml, not sure on price because this was a gift. However Out of all of the ranges of scents The Body shop does, Raspberry is by far my favourite, it is a very sweet scent and this product goes a long way (me having used only half a bottle and I've had it over 6 months!)

Johnsons baby bedtime bath 500ml, yes this product is designed for babies to use but it is sooooo good at making the perfect bubble bath and with its 'no more tears' formula, it is fine to use near sensitive skin and on eyes etc and is also very very cheap.

Fearne bath syrup 200ml, after receiving lots of the Fearne range christmas gift sets I was keen to try out this product, it has a very distinctive scent (described as: a delicate fragrance with a powdery musk aroma enhanced by creamy vanilla tones an a heart of soft muguet.) and is also a Marmite scent, you either love it or hate it and I love love love it. This product is great at giving a luxurious feel to your bath. (Not sure of price)

Thanks for reading, Ashlea :) x

My Fashion wishlist!

Nike Blazers! I have been literally desperate for these little gems for months, but unfortunately haven't dared to splurge out on them as they vary in price at around £70!

Jeffery Campbell Litas! When I first saw these shoes quite a few months ago now, I think I literally fell in love. And this is when my very expensive taste comes into practice, at $159.95

Jeremy Scott Bart Print Jumper! i first saw this Jumper on another blog and i just absolutely love it, with the funky print and bright colour i really think it would be a signature piece in my wardrobe. Might just have to save for a while for it though as it costs around £350/£400 :(

Joint Review: Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish Hot cloth cleanser

Review: Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish Hot cloth cleanser

Hello! today Me and Jessi are both going to do a joint review on the cleanse and polish hot cloth cleanser starter kit, I received mine for Christmas and Jessi purchased her first on kit a couple of days ago and ever since Christmas, I have wanted to do a detailed haul for all of you out there contemplating buying this.

Before buying this product I used a Clean & Clear Deep Cleansing Lotion, it was nothing special and I feel it did nothing spectacular for my skin. However, upon watching Zoella, Tanya Burr, and pretty much every other beauty youtuber out there, every single person has raved about the Liz Earle cleanser. So i thought I better see what all the fuss was about.

I put it on my christmas list, and my Mum being the lovely woman she is bought me the starter kit.

It comes with: 100ml bottle of the cleanser,

a small blue travel bag,

and two Muslin cloths,

however as it was my Mum's first purchase from the Liz Earle website, she got sent a Liz Earle Colour Collection booklet (On top), Liz Earle Christmas catalogue, and the Liz Earle all about us Pamphlet.

My thoughts: With it being all natural goodness, I think this product is truly amazing. It gets rid of all traces of my make up and gently exfoliates my skin. Even after my first use of this product I noticed a real difference in my skins apperance the netx day, and really helping to clear up some blemishes that have been caused by my face not having a thorough cleanse and some make up still being left on.

Jessi's thoughts: After trying numerous amounts of different skin cleansers i have never found one that really seems to suit my skin, there either to skin irritant or just complete failures at removing my make-up however, Liz Earle hot cloth cleanser ticks all of the boxes for me its a reachable price and and does your skin justice with all its natural needs. I couldn't recommend this product enough if you are struggling to find a cleanser that suits you i very much advise you to give Liz Earle a go (you will love it), i will certainly never be returning to any other cleansers. 

Small Barry M collection - Ashlea x

My Favourite Barry M Nail polishes!

I have a small clear container that I keep my small Barry M polishe collection in, the container holds 10 polishes and I'm going to show all you lovelies which ones are my favourites and I keep in here.

I hope to get many many more Barry M polishes in the future but I haven't had chance to have a proper look at all the newest colours in their collections. 

The reason I prefer Barry M over any other nail varnish brand is the super-affordable price and how pigmented the polishes are with only 2 coats.

'311' Nail Effects crackle polish in Black,

'354 - Amethyst Glitter' Nail paint (£2.99),

'315' Nail Effects crackle polish in blue,

Some good and bad news!

Hello!

Firstly I would like to say I hope everyone had a fantastic Christmas and New Year (I know I did!)

and saw all of their family, friends and Santa/Father Christmas/St.Nick or whatever you like to call him bought you everything you wanted.

I also have a bit of good and bad news.

The good news is Me and Jessi have planned a mahousiveeee filming/blogging day that will be happening TOMORROW! We decided to do this due to the lack of posts on here and lack of videos on our youtube channel that have been posted recently,

Now for the bad news, Me (Ashlea) and Jessi have several exams coming up this month so wont be active as much, as we will be busy revising to try and achieve the best results we possibly can,

But stay tuned to watch everything tomorrow. 

Many thanks to all you bloggaholics, 

Love Ashlea and Jessi x

Some of the things I got for Christmas! - Ashlea x

Some of the things I got for Christmas!

From my wonderful Mum and Step-dad I received the Nars 'Love Rite' gift set and I know it was £38 something because I asked for it, the set included: 

A blush duo in 'desire' and 'amour', both colours look lovely all all skin tones and are very very  pigmented meaning they will last alot longer than a normal blush, the outer shell of the blush is very strong meaning no cracking;

Illuminator in 'Orgasm', and is great for leaving a shimmery peach tint on your cheeks and perfect for those of you who may have discolouration on your cheeks;

Lip gloss in 'turkish delight', it is a lovely baby pink nude colour and goes lovely with the pink blush;

Lipgloss in 'greek holiday', it is a light peachey brown and looks very natural when worn, also is not sticky at all (which is always a plus!)

Next is this 88 colour eye shadow palette, I'm not sure what brand or where this can be purchased as it was a gift from my Nan, but all the colours on the palette I will use because they are neutral, they can be used for a subtle look or to even build up a perfect smokey eye.

Next is the Juicy couture La fleur gift set, it included a 30ml bottle of juicy couture perfume which smells absolutely lovely and it's safe to say I will only be using this on special occasions because of the tiny bottle and amout you get, also in the set is a 125ml juicy couture Viva la juicy body lotion, which is really thick and rich and a perfect treatment to dry skin on your body.

This lovely Fearne Cotton Nail varnish set I received from My Auntie included 6 different colours including (L to R) Burnt Out, Coral Island, Lady Grey, Cotton Candy, Golden Touch and Lemon Drizzle. The Polishes are all lovely quality and only really require 2 coats to provide opaque colour. 

I received these two caviar nail sets from my Mum and step-dad in my stocking, they are from Claires and were £5 each (because my Mum was silly enough to leave the price tag on) the first if multi coloured and the second is plain black, they are really easy to apply and look great when on!

New ear cuff :)

New Ear Cuff

I'm really exited to show you all my new ear cuff isn't it so cool :) ? I bought of an online website called body jewellery for around £3 and I really like it - it's quirky but fashionable at the same time :) x
