Lush purchases and a raffle win

Hello again! So today I'll be talking about my first experience in a Lush Cosmetic store and a look at an item I won at a silent auction!

First of all - Lush! I've never been in simply because I normally get so much bath and body stuff for Christmas and my birthday that I cannot justify buying more. Plus, my skin is incredibly sensible and I'm often reluctant to purchase new things in case I break out. However after running out of products I received as gifts, I needed some new items and wanted to try Lush. I'd spent a lot of time looking at reviews online and decided that if anything was going to help my skin, it would be these products.

So, I went to the store on Princes Street and was literally overwhelmed by the smells and choices. Luckily one of the workers came straight over and offered to help! He not only showed me what products were what but showed me how they looked in water and recommended specifics for me. The service was quite unbelievable and for that alone I'd definitely go back! Anyway I ended up picking up £53 worth of products and will be reviewing them as I use them!

My first review is of the magic wand bubble bar. Beautiful and bright with an amazing candy smell! It's also reusable which makes it really great value for money considering it's only £5.25. Mines has barely changed size and I've used it 4 times already! The bath goes a lovely pastel pink when used and the smell stays for hours which is impressive! I'd highly recommend this product especially for gifts as it looks pretty too.

My other news is what I won at a silent auction a friend of mine held for her son's pipe band. She had contacted me after seeing my Harry Potter tattoo on Facebook to let me know one of the items on auction - a signed Daniel Radcliffe photograph from when he was filming the Dealthy Hallows: Part 2. Of course I was straight in there and won it at £35, much less than I expected to pay. So I have that among my collection of Harry Potter items and hopefully it will continue to grow!

Thanks for reading everyone, I'll be back soon with a couple of Christmas gifts I've bought for family members and another Lush product review!
