Granny Takes a Dip



Granny Takes a Dip is a psychedelic bath bomb, that is scented with ginger, pepper and lemon. It costs £3.25 and the lemon oil aims to pep you up and boost your mood whilst the ginger and pepper are warming.






It is such a lovely bath bomb. From the minute it touched the bath water, the water was filled with colour and was beautiful. It was quite a slow bath bomb and it was quiet, but I enjoyed watching the colours develop in the bath and it was different to any I've used previously. As it contains ginger, I thought the strong may be quite strong but it was not over powering, and the smell did not linger as long as I thought it would.

I enjoyed using this bath bomb but was slightly disappointed that it did not leave my skin feeling soft when I got out. But for a nice, relaxing, extremely colourful bath it did the job. The bath bomb is pretty big too so it is completely worth the money and can even be broken up for separate baths.

Have you tried this bath bomb? What's your favourite bath bomb from Lush?

Daisy Kind of Day



Hello lovelies! As summer is nearly over (I'm holding on as long as I can) and I've fallen in love with the daisy print, I thought I'd do a little post on just that - daisies.





I LOVE the Marc Jacobs perfumes. Daisy has been my go-to perfume for years now and I love it - it is such a fresh, summery scent that I don't think I will ever get sick of. I recently got bought Daisy Dream for my birthday and I hadn't heard about it but I fell in love as soon as I had smelt it. It has a fruity, floral fragrance, containing notes of blackberry, pear and fresh grapefruit. And did I mention the bottles? SO cute. 

I bought both an anklet and a bracelet from Depop for around £2 each and I just think they are so nice. I haven't worn my anklet yet, which I really need to before it's too cold for my ankles to be out! But I'm loving the bracelet and have received many compliments on it.

And to finish I obviously had to purchase the daisy hair bobble from primark. It just adds a little something to my hair when I'm having one of those boring/lazy hair-needs-to-be-off-my-face type of days, you know which I mean?

Are you a big fan of daisies or are you more of a sunflower type girl?

MAC Snob


Hello! Hope you're all having a nice sunday. So I've been shopping and have a new addition to my collection of MAC lipsticks! MAC describes 'Snob' as a ladylike mauve (huh?), but I would describe it as a baby pink with lavender undertones.









This lipstick is very pigmented and is seriously long lasting. It has a much more vibrant appearance than you would think by looking at the tube.

This lipstick is completely matte, and I think the satin finish isn't the most flattering, making my lips look quite fake.







It doesn't dry out my lips which is a big benefit and I'm definitely impressed with it.



I'm very pale skinned and I think this colour is more suited to that. You can see the lavender undertones on display in the above picture where the lipstick has been swatched on my hand (ignore the really chipped nail varnish! oops). The colour can be a bit overpowering to wear every day but can be toned down with a lipgloss.

What is your favourite MAC lipstick? Do you prefer bold colours or do you play it safe?
