Halloween Costume idea!

Halloween is my all time favourite holiday - because fancy dress is my guilty pleasure, not in the dirty sense before you ask. ;)

Now, being at university halloween is made into such a huge deal, with club nights having crazy halloween themed nights out. Tomorrow i am attending one, so thought i would have a play at what i could go as!

However, i am very vocal of the fact that putting on cat ears and drawing on some whiskers whilst parading around in a skin tight cat suit... is NOT scary therefore you cannot dress like it for halloween. MY OPINION..

so, zombies, vampires, witches, horror film characters are a must, fake blood, wounds, make up are musts!

Therefore this year, i decided to go full on with my costume..

meet Jigsaw....



To do this look i used:

Snazaroo white aqua based face paint - This you can get from amazon or from any fancy dress shop
SuperCat Soap and Glory Liquid eye liner 
Maybelline colour sensation red lip liner
Sleek Au Natural Palette - Black eyeshadow and Brown Sparkly eyeshadow
NYC Lipstick 

Playsuit from Primark 
Bow Tie from Hollywood Fancy Dress
Red tights from Primark

There are LOADS of tutorials on Youtube to do this look and it really is simple to achieve! 

What are you dressing up as this year?
HAPPY HALLOWEEEEEEN!

Until Next Time

Lush Haul - LiveLikeALauren Lifestyle

So, this is the time of year when every blogger gets sucked into the halloweeny christmassy world of Lush. I fell for it even harder this year because i have been soooo ill that nothing seems to shift it like a nice bath with my favourite scents.

HOWEVER, this year, i decided to purchase ones that i have never used before.. so here goes!


1. Dragons Egg Bath Bomb: £3.35 
I have never tried this one before, but heard such good things about it. It actually happened to be the first one out of the batch that i tried. It smells amazing and even though it doesn't do spectacular things in the bath - it does fizz and release orange and blue in the water with gold glitter - it makes your skin feel and look amazing!

2. Twilight Bath Bomb £3.35
Now, i suffer from insomnia, which is where i have trouble sleeping at night. The Twilight Bath Bomb has been known to help with its delicate scent, so thought i would buy it and give it a try. Plus, it's an amazing pink colour so thought it would make my bath water cute 

3. Father Christmas Ballistic £3.50
IT'S NEARLY CHRISTMAS. This one was very well received as anything that smells like christmas just makes me so excited. Fingers crossed it is as good as it smells! 

4. Golden Wonder Bath Bomb £3.75
Gold, present, christmas scent!? how can you say no to this! I looked at this one on the Lush website, because it gives you a little demonstration and this one looked so good!

5. Luxury Lush Pud £3.50
How cute is this one! It doesn't look that christmassy, but with the little holly on the top it just makes me love it. Plus, i'm excited to see what the polka dots will do in the water as well! 

6. Lord of Misrule £3.50
This screaaaaams cold nights to me as the scent of patchouli and the wine coloured centre just makes me feel so calm. I can't wait till it snows so i can use this one

7. Northern Lights Ballistic £3.50
An oblong bath bomb? who'da thought, but the colours in this are amazing and can NOT give it enough justice so you will need to buy it!

and FINALLY
8. Star Light, Star Bright Bath Melt £3.50
Now, i love love love bath melts because they can last for more than one bath and you only need a small amount to crumble in. This one is super glittery and makes your bath looks like the night sky, how sweet!


what is your favourite Lush product?

Until Next Time
