Lush Halloween Picks

One of my favourite things throughout the year are all the Lush seasonal releases, they contain some of my products to date and the Halloween range contains one of my favourite scents ever - I will use it year round cause it's so beautiful. So anyway, lets get on with my halloween lush picks. 

Monster's Ball Bath Bomb 

Oh bless, my lil one is suffering from a lil bit of conjunctivitis (I mean let's be honest.. He's completely dead). I cannot get over how beautiful this smells, I'm so bad at describing scents but this is divine and contains a combo of lime and neroli oils. I'm not sure whether it was because I was keeping mine in the bathroom, relatively near to the ceiling (so my brothers couldn't pinch them) but mine went a little bit gooey, melty and crumbly.. You can probably tell from the photos, but still, can't wait to use this on Halloween! I'll definitely be purchasing another one of these before they go out of season as they smell, so, good. Big fan.

Sparkly Pumpkin Bubble Bar

So this is the original pumpkin bubble bar and it just smells like everything good and right with the world, a.k.a. Autumn. It is very glittery, fruity and an essential bath product when it comes to setting magical halloween vibes. I mean, need I go on with this one? It speaks for itself really.

Pink Pumpkin Bubble Bar 

Unlike the original pumpkin bubble bar, this one smells more floral and is covered in pink glittery goodness. Even though I adore the original, this one also smells so amazing. I would actually go as far to say that I prefer this to the original one?! Maybe it's because the scent is quite fresh which I love and you can definitely pick out the jasmine. Love love love.

Lord of Misrule Shower Cream 

Oh my lord, this shower cream smells amazing. It contains a mix of 'spicy patchouli, stimulating black peppercorn and fragrant vanilla'. This scent to me is so earthy and musky but reminds me of hot spices too - oh honestly it's just so nice. When you use it in the shower it is a little alarming to be applying a bright green shower gel (it washes off though obviously) but it just smells incredible and that scent stays on the skin which I love. This is to date one of my favourite scents and it's probably one of their best scents (in my opinion). I would also say that I probably prefer this scent to Snow Fairy..  I know I know, I still love the Snow Fairy shower cream but Lord of Misrule, you are just on another level.

So those were my Lush Halloween picks from this year. I am so excited to do a massive festive/Christmas Lush haul (which I feel like is acceptable as soon as we hit Nov 1st), can't wait for all the Snow Fairy products (even though Lord of Misrule is where the party is at). Hope you've enjoyed reading!

An October To Do List

I cannot believe it's now October, but also thank god because everything becomes more magical as the leaves change colour and the nights grow colder. I've never been one for writing up to do lists on my blog but I thought this month would be a good place to start and it's so nice to see progress. 

No.1 Prep for Halloween

I'm currently in my third year of uni and halloween is sacred for us students. It marks the final halloween with all my huns in the same boat and there's something really sad but exciting about that - I also want an A** costume. It's freakin' bats, it's always halloween in my soul. 

No.2 Continue working on my fitness 

I have a newly found love for the gym and I can't wait to see how much my strength & stamina will progress with continued usage and commitment. Cmon baby arms, grow, grow.

No.3 Strike a balance 

It can be a little manic when you're trying to write content for your blog and read all the essential and recommended readings for your seminars and assignments, have a social life, go to the gym etc etc. I'm hoping to strike a balance between all of these so I can stay motivated throughout this month and the foreseeable future. 

No.4 Start a Youtube channel 

I have wanted to do this for the longest time, but I feel like I'm a little bit awkward in front of the camera and the editing process is very long. I have actually put up a video before but obviously uploads need to be consistent.. Maybe this can tie in with number three. 

No.5 Pick up some new A/W scents

Nothing says cosy like some new candles and seeing as it has got so much colder this is the perfect time to make an investment. I have my heart set on some of the upmarket ones but also the Yankee candle in Sugared Pumpkin Swirl, I mean how nice does that sound? I also want to pick up a new A/W fragrance, so any suggestions are more than welcome! I'm thinking maybe something fruity from Jo Malone?

Autumnal Clothing Lust List

It's that time of year again when things get a bit colder and it's basically acceptable to be head to toe in black (yipee!). It's also that time where a comfy slouchy knit will be your go to and you will find it hard to function without a hot beverage in your hand to wake you up in the morning - because really we're meant to be going into hibernation and this is why we're so darn tired. I'm seeing a lot of small studs in trend which I am absolutely loving and of course some beautiful high end dupes. 

 Topshop Velvet Cross Body Bag - £26 

Topshop Lace Foil Pintuck Blouse - £39

M&S Studded Chelsea Ankle Boots - £79

Topshop Extreme Trumpet Top - £29

River Island Grey Knit Tie Sleeve Grazer Jumper - £36

River Island Light Blue Stitch Jumper - £30

Zara Faux Fur Collar Biker Jacket - £89

Next Black Leather Micro Stud Strap Boots - £70

Of course everything is mainly black with the exception of a couple of items. I'm seeing a lot of studded boots similar to the Chloe Susanna boots, in fact the Next pair are almost identical that I will need to be picking up a pair of those pronto. I'm also loving all these Acne Jacket dupes which are available for just a mere fraction of the price, all the heart eyes.
