Wish List Wednesday



Moccasins

Clockwise from Left - Zara, Topshop, Miss Selfridge, Minnetonka

Are these the perfect "spring/summer/too cold for sandals yet" shoe?  I think they may well be!

Yellow

Topshop tunic, Topshop dress, ASOS clutch, Kurt Geiger heels

In case you hadn't noticed from the satchel in last week's wish list, and the blouse I bought a few weeks ago, I am a little enamoured with yellow right now.  I had previously shied away from this colour as it did nothing for my yellow toned complexion and red hair, but the shades on offer at the moment are much much more flattering.  I picked up the mustard Topshop tunic last week and am now looking to brighten up my wardrobe little more...

Have you recently started to embrace colours you'd never been brave enough to wear before?  Or like me, have you found a colour that you once couldn't make work, actually suits you as long as you pick wisely?  Let me know :)

Lush Easter Range

Love the look of all of these products...so cute!  And as for the bunny wrap...adorable :)

Review - Lush Big Shampoo

After reading several reviews about Lush Big I was intrigued...so when I walked past Lush I HAD to see what all the fuss was about!

As there's already been so many reviews of this I'll try not to be too repetitive, and just let you know how well it works on my hair - which is mid-length, pretty thick and naturally curly.

Because of my hair type I was a little apprehensive about trying this as I can rarely get away with a non-moisturising shampoo, but I decided to dive in and give it a go - the length my hair is at the moment means it rarely gets as much volume as I'd like, and backcombing is not good!!!

The application is pretty basic, simply take a small amount and rub into your hair as you would a normal shampoo. I was pretty impressed by how much this lathered - even with the hard water down here. I followed with a little conditioner and set about blow drying...the moment of truth!

All I can say is wow! My hair is very very thirsty and holds onto water like anything, which makes blowdrying a pretty arduous task. However, this time it took half as long as usual - drying super fast and straightening really easily. As I wanted to give it a proper review, I didn't put any products in my hair after washing...yet it still ended up super soft and shiny - perfect.

As I only wash my hair a couple of times a week I'll probably use it every time, but if you wash it more often I would probably use it every other time - it is pretty clarifying and if your hair is coloured, I think it may strip it quite quickly.

Big Shampoo retails for £9.90 and it's a bit thumbs up from me :)

Review - Lush Mint Julips

Whilst popping into Lush to pick up a Big shampoo (review coming up!) I was drawn to the new sugar lip scrubs.

This time of year, what with cold weather, wind and central heating, my lips tend to take a battering and I'm constantly slathering on carmex by the tube, so I thought I'd see if I could find something that would keep them nice and soft.

The scrub I chose was Mint Julips, which is peppermint and chocolate, but if that doesn't float your boat there is also Bubblegum and Sweet Lips (vanilla and chocolate). The concept is pretty simple - apply a little with your finger, rub your lips together and lick it off! As it's all natural, it's fine to eat...and it tastes rather lovely.

I was really impressed with this - my lips feel lovely and smooth, and although I've only been using it for a day or so I really feel as though this scrub has improved their condition. It's a little messy, and is probably best to apply it in the privacy of your own home - simply to avoid walking around looking like you've just shoved a donut in your mouth :)

The scrub retails for £4.50 and I'd definitely recommend it :)
