So, the first thing I've bought recently is the infamous lush 'Snow Fairy' shower gel. What more do I even need to say- its pink, and the packaging is just sooo damn cute! Snow Fairy is one of Lush's limited edition shower gels that only gets released around christmas time. It's a really sweet, girly scent, and luch say its supposed to smell of pear drops and candy floss. I bought the smallest bottle they do of this, just to make sure I like it first, and I'll also be able to use it for travel as its travel mini size. As you can see I've used this a fair bit so I might do a separate review for it :D
The next thing that I bought, also from Lush, is the candy mountain bubble bar. If your not familiar with the bubble bar's from lush, you crumble them under the tap when running your bath and it gives you heaps of sweetly scented bubbles. I think candy mountain smells very similar to snow fairy, and because I like those sort of scents, I had to get this. its also pink and glittery which just makes it all better, and i know that with bubble bars i can get more than one use out of them, which makes them great value!
In Lush, I also got 'Space girl' bath bomb. I've used space girl before, and its really lovely, it has grapefruit oil in it, but still smells quite sweet, but I love any bath bomb with citrus notes in. Lush have also changed the design of this bomb, it used to have purple glitter on it, but recently they've changes the design to red glitter, so I'm interested to see if it changes the colour of the water much or not. Also, for its size I think Lush have priced it quite well as its one of the cheapest bomb's but still is really lovely.

The next thing I did was I went to mac..this is never a good idea because I always see so many lovely things in there and never know what to get. Although I was kind of set that I wanted a mac lipstick, as I've watched many you tube videos and seen so many pictures and reviews that i knew that I wanted one. I talked to one of the staff in mac and I told her that I wanted a sort of nude or pink lipstick. She tried creme cup on me first, and as lovely as it looks, I didn't think it looked right on me as i have such dark lips, and creme cup is quite a bright nude/pink colour on my lips, I don't think It would be very wearable on me. I then had another look, and I saw this lovely pink shade, it was darker than creme cup, but not too bright. I tried it on and it seemed just right for a simple everyday look, I bought the shade 'Please Me' which is a lovely wearable rosy pink, with a matte finish. I really love the colour, I think the matte shades can have the tendency to be a bit drying, so I would always put lip balm on first.

Also in mac, I'd heard a lot about one of the eye shadows 'Sumptuous Olive' which is (you guessed it) a lovely olive green with brown and gold undertones. I'd seen it featured on youtube in a Zoella and Tanya Burr video and I thought it would be great for autumn. Basically, i wanted to step out of my eyeshadow neutrals box, (haha) and try something different that was autumnal, but not too bold, so this was a perfect colour for me.
To go alongside my eyeshadow, I was aware that if I wanted any of the colours to actually last all day and stay pigmented, I was going to need an eye primer or base to give my eyeshadow something to stick to. I bought the mac paint pot in 'Painterly' a lovely cream colour with slight pink undertones. I'm a big fan of cream eye shadows and really wish i had more of them, because combined with a darker shade in the crease, you can create a really simple eye look, thats quick and easy to apply, especially if its one of those days where you're in a rush to get ready. I pair this with sumptuous olive in my crease for a really subtle olive smoky eye, which you can also add a brown shade to give more depth of colour.
