HAUL // Lush


top: Bombardino, Ickle Baby Bot
bottom: Santa's lip scrub, Charisma skin tint

I don't know if you'd consider it a haul but after Christmas Lush had a sale with all of their festive themed products which reeled me in. I'd recently been really into taking baths again but I've never used a bath bomb before and after talking to the girl working there she suggested a couple which I bought. Obviously, I haven't tried any of them, but I have extremely sensitive skin - to the point where most moisturisers and body washes irritate my skin, even ones designed for sensitive skin. However, Lush uses less chemicals than other products so I bought these two bath bombs.

The Ickle Baby Bot bath bomb contains lavender and camomile which will be good before going to bed, and the Bombardino has cocoa butter and soy milk which sounds amazing for my skin type.
The Ickle Baby Bot was at it's original price of $3.95AUD and the Bombardino was 50% off, so it $2.50AUD. I'll do a review once I've used them.

I also impulsively bought the festive lip scrub (Santa's lip scrub) which is cola flavoured. Honestly, I think I wasted my money on this one - it was half price making it $5AUD but I hardly ever use it because it's so messy. Since I dislike eating it, I'm not a big fan.

Another impulsive buy was the Charisma skin tint. I thought it was something like a liquid bronzer because of it's colour and consistency but you're actually suppose to add it to your moisturiser to "tint" your skin. Through thorough research it is suppose to act more like an highlighter, oh well. I use my fingers for this product because I hate washing my makeup brushes. This was 50% off totalling something like $10AUD.

This may look narcissistic but I thought it'd be interesting (for some) and I've never seen any other blog do something like this. Also, I usually take photos once I've done my makeup if 1. I want to do it again and 2. I spent so much time doing it, so I should probably record it somehow.
I haven't worn this much makeup in like a week hahaha, I've been stuck at home not doing much or out where I don't need to wear so much makeup. I'm going out for dinner tonight so I thought this would be suitable. Also, I haven't put eyeliner on my lower waterline for a REALLY long time, and I think I might do it more now because I think it defines my eyes better. Tell me what you think!
