My First Carboot Sale

Verdict on my first trip to a carboot sale....I really enjoyed it! And to top it off I got a major bargain. 
I generally don't like rummaging around for hidden treasures - if it's not displayed then I wont find it. So you can imagine my amazement when I spied this crystal sweet jar without having to move any junk out of the way, it was definitely meant to be, and to top it off it was only £1!!!

I plan on using it on my dressing table to store hair clips and other bits and bobs I like to have in reaching distance. 

Lush mmmelting marshmallow moment

I definitely think the name of this matches the smell. It's so sweet! For me, although I do like the smell it's a bit sickly sweet after a while.
I used the whole bath melter in one go because I didn't want to make a mess trying to half it, but id say you only really need half as It took quite a long time to dissolve.
The water turned a nice pale pink colour,  and the water was silky smooth, it definitely felt quite luxurious.
I did like the marshmallow moment,  it was a nice treat. But not something I would use frequently.

Space nk Haul

I decided recently that I really needed (wanted) some new skincare products to try out. So placed an order with space nk....

Claudalie Beauty Elixir

I really just wanted to see what all the fuss was about with this. So far I can say i do like the smell - which i was surprised about because i do not usually like herbal scents. 

NARS ProPrime Smudgeproof Eyeshadow Primer

This was an impulse buy to get free delivery, i still have loads of my urban decay primer potion left which will last a few months. 

Ren Gyloclatic Radiance Renewal Mask

This was the main reason I placed the order, i have seen loads of positive  reviews on this, and on the brand in general.

Stila Skincare 5 Piece try me set

I mainly chose this for the serum which claims to fade acne scarring and i didn't want to commit to the full size. When this arrived the cleanser was busted open, which was quite annoying. First Impressions - I don't really like the smell of this range. 

I also recieved some free samples with this order...

Laughter - Jour perfume sample

Orbe shampoo and conditioner

Brideshead bath shower gel and body cream

Bedside Table Revamp

Another furniture makeover. 
I got this bedside table from my friends parents, it is a perfect size for the space in my bedroom - all it needed was a touch of paint, and a new drawer pull.

Drawer pull is from B&Q.

Garden Bench Makeover

Just thought I would share the makeover I gave to my garden bench. It was looking a bit tired, and starting to rust.
I washed and sanded it down, then used a white spray paint on the sides and painted the wooden slats with a duck egg outdoor wood paint.
I really like the way it turned out!

(I forgot to take a before photo, I had already washed and sanded it before I remembered -oops)

Lush honey bee bath bomb review

The honey bee bath bomb is by far my favourite smelling bath bomb from lush. However the colour it turns the bath water is enough to completely put me off, it looks disgusting! it's like getting into a bath of pee! 

Eventually I was able to get over this and actually get in, and with my eyes closed it was lovely, it did feel quite moisturising. I was hoping the smell would linger on my skin but it didn't. Although my bathroom did smell nice for a few hours afterwards.  

Overall I don't think I will repurchase this, it was of no real benefit to my skin and I hated the colour it turned the water, it also left a yellow water mark around the bath, which took a bit of scrubbing to get off. 

On the plus side I can still enjoy the smell by using honey I washed the kids soap - which smells the same without the mess!
