Lush Bath Bomb: Secret Garden

Hi Everyone,
Sorry for the lack of posting, i've just be super super busy lately! But, because i have been super busy, i have treated myself to a few pamper and make-up products that i wil feature here on my blog. 

First of all, just a quick one, I recently was recommended by a friend to go into lush and purchase their bubblegum lip scrub, now I was a bit reluctant at first. This was mainly due to the fact that I had no idea what it did. However, after having a long conversation with a very nice customer assistant called Tom about the ins and outs of the product, i couldn't have got my purse out quick enough! 

Basically, its a lip scrub for people with dry lips. You simply use your finger to scrub the product straight onto your lips to make them nice and smooth for when you are having a chapped lip day, or it even works wonders to use before applying lipstick so it doesn't look all chapped and nasty. BUT, the best thing about it is, after you've applied it, instead of wiping it off. YOU CAN EAT IT! This is the reason I brought the bubblegum one, it tastes delicious. However, there is other flavours including popcorn and mint. 

The product is £5.50, however even though the tub is relatively small, it lasts ages because you only need a small amount! 
Here is the link if you feel like checking it out!

Now, on to the actual main bit of my blog post.

This, I am ashamed to say, was my very first experience of a Lush bath bomb, or bath ballistic. (All lush fans will now come and throw things at me) however, I can say I am thoroughly impressed. I brought two today, one being 'Secret Garden' which will feature in today's post, but also 'fluffy egg' which I haven't used yet, but am dying to because it smells like Snow fairy!

Here they both are:
https://www.lush.co.uk/product/154/Fluffy-Egg  - This is the 'Fluffy Egg' £2.95
https://www.lush.co.uk/product/6292/Secret-Garden - Here is today's feature 'Secret Garden' £2.95


SECRET GARDEN BATH BOMB

This is what the bath ballistic looks like, I was immediately drawn to how pretty it was, and it smelt incredible. 

So I ran a clear bath, I didn't put any bubbles or anything it it, and simply dropped it in.

This is what the ballistic did to my bath water!

This was so exciting, because not only did it turn my bath water an incredible mix of green and pink, or just make it smell amazing, BUT, in the middle also were little flower petals that just topped the whole experience off. 

The flowers floating in the water!

So, I can honestly say that my first experience with a Lush Bath Ballistic was one I will never forget and it is 100% that I will be returning to buy many many more to try!

What are you favourite Lush products?

Until next time!

My First Time Tag!

Now, technically this isn't my first blog post, however I deleted all my other posts as I have decided to take a different route towards blogging. I've chosen to pursue life's destiny for me and use my excellent skills of chatting and become a chatty blog. This means I will write about my feelings, my opinions, reviews of things, day to day things really. So where best to start than the 'My First Time Tag'? but before that, here is some information about me... 

Name: Lauren Balchin (The amount of trouble my surname has given me through life, bumchin, bollockchin it's endless. Also, teachers can never spell it, Does anyone else have a weird surname?)
Age: 19
DOB: 7th February 1995
Hometown: Westbury, Wiltshire
Job: In university at Bournemouth, studying Media and Communication
Favourite colour: Green
Favourite Food: Anything that contains chocolate 
Ambition: become a well-known journalist or columnist. 

Any questions, don't hesitate to comment below!

Now, here goes.

1.First best friend: I remember my first best friend very clearly due to the fact that she just so happens to be my best friend now. Her name is Katie and our parents were best friends. Our birthdays are very close so we used to have cute play dates when we were very young and continued on to going to the same schools and staying very close! 

2. First concert: well, this is a tough one, because what I would describe as a concert would be going to see a band or a singer in an arena, which means therefore my first concert was the Xfactor tour the year that One Direction were there. However, the first 'celebrities' or 'artists' (if you can call them that) I saw were Lemar and the Cheeky girls at a party in the park type scenario. Although, i'm not counting them, sorry guys. 

3. First celebrity crush: This is an embarrassing one, I would love to say the usual's of Zac Efron in High School Musical or Johnny Depp in Pirates of the Caribbean however, when I was younger I used to watch way too much Nickelodeon which was the reasoning behind my crush on Natt Wolff who was the lead singer of 'The Naked Brothers Band'. Still haunts me today. I can assure you that my choice in celebrity crushes has matured! 

4. First Word: I had to venture to my Mum for this one, as obviously I wouldn't know, and she replied with 'I can't remember that, probably dada, or I could lie and say it was something intelligent!'. So I guess that one can't be answered, sorry!

5. First Job: When I was 13 I got myself a paper round, however I can't really class that as 'MY' job because my mum used to drive me round and do most of the delivering for me! But, when I was 16 I became a waitress and stayed there until I left for university last september!

6. First Phone: oh wow, well, I got my first phone when I was around 7-8 and it was a Nokia 3310 which had a Manchester United case on it, and all I ever used it for was to download ringtones and play snake! 

7. First Tweet: I can't be 100% sure, but I'm vaguely sure it was something about not understanding twitter!

8. First Kiss: I'm not going to name names, but all I remember is that a group of us were on the primary school field one lunchtime and it was one of those peer pressure moments of 'You guys should kiss' and well, we did, everybody went 'ewwwwww' and I felt ashamed. 

So there we have it, that's just a few of my 'First times'
Hopefully I can keep this as quite a regular occurrence as I failed miserably last time!

Until next time folks, I shall leave you with my favourite song at the moment..
Beyonce - Drunk in Love

Lauren!
