Mini Haul | Lush, Beauty & Accessories

Hey everyone! Now I know at this time of the year it's all about buying gifts for other people, but sometimes you do need to treat yourself as well! Now that I've pretty much finished all of my Christmas shopping, I thought I would let myself pick up a few things that I've wanted to try - plus a couple of impulse buys! So over the past couple weeks I have seemed to have acquired a mini haul that I thought I would share with you all.

Lush Cinders Bath Ballistic | £2.45 | LINK
I've been meaning to pick up some of the Christmas edition products from Lush for quite a while, but as I've been quite busy I just hadn't got round to doing so. The other weekend I feeling feeling a bit down so I decided to treat myself to a few bath bombs from Lush so that I could have a nice relaxing bath when I got home. The first one I picked up was the infamous Cinders bath bomb which is the perfect bath treat to have at Christmas time. I actually tried this last year and I really loved the warm cinnamon scent so it would have been rude not to pick up another one this year! It has bits of popping candy on the top which is meant to represent a crackling fire, but when I last tried this I couldn't hear anything - hopefully this time round it will work a lot better!

Lush Candy Mountain Bubble Bar | £2.65 | LINK

Next up is something I've been eyeing up for ages and it is the Candy Mountain bubble bar. I thought it looked so cute with the pink and white swirl design, plus the scent of vanilla is really lovely! The idea behind these bubble bars is to break off a little piece every time you have a bath, pop them into running hot water and then watch as big, beautiful smelling bubbles appear! I really can't wait to try this bubble bar - I'm saving it for when I really need to have a relaxing bath.

Lush Butterball Bath Ballistic | £2.50 | LINK

 The last Lush product I picked up was quite a random purchase. Butterball isn't a bath bomb I've heard much about but when I read the little card next to it, it sounded too nice to leave behind! It contains cocoa butter and is designed to help restore moisture back into your skin. As my skin has always been on the drier side to me this sounded like a perfect bath product! Plus with the gorgeous scent of vanilla, it seems like the perfect bath bomb to pop into any bath! I used this in my bath last night (a must have treat after a late night shift!) and I found that it made my skin incredibly soft, literally to the point where I didn't want to apply any body lotion after my bath. It also leaves a scent of cocoa butter on your skin which is really lovely! I highly rate this bath bomb and I will definitely be repurchasing this soon.

Soap & Glory Supercat Liquid Eye Liner in "Carbon Black" | £6.00 | LINK
I recently ran out of my Eyeko Skinny Mini liquid eye liner, so I was on the hunt for something new to try. I'd heard some good things about the Soap & Glory Supercat liner so I thought I would finally try it out. This liquid liner is so pigmented and is completely black and opaque when you apply it to your lid. My only problem with it is that I find the applicator (it's like a felt tip pen) a little big so it can be difficult to draw on a very thin line. Luckily I don't mind my eye liner quick bold, but some days I do prefer just that natural looking volume to my lashes. I might have a hunt around for some more liquid liners to try so if you have any suggestions then do leave them in the comments below!

Oasis Dragonfly & Flower Stack Rings | £12.00 reduced to £1.00
Now, moving on to the accessories. Oasis is a shop that many young people may not think about looking in, but I have to say a lot of their jewellery and clothes are really on trend and are absolutely gorgeous! I'd been eyeing up these little rings for ages and I couldn't believe that I found them in the sale for just £1 considering they were originally £12 - absolute bargain! I think the dangly dragonfly and flower charms are really sweet and are completely different to any other rings that I have. The other 2 rings are more simpler but are still very pretty to wear together.

Oasis Bird Charm Necklace | £10.00 reduced to £2.00
Next I also found this cute bird charm necklace in the sale for just £2! I have so many necklaces like this but I couldn't leave this one behind. This is a really dainty and pretty necklace that can be layered up with other necklaces or just worn on its own for a more simple look. It also comes on a thin golden chain that I find is the perfect length for me - such a great piece to add to my collection.

Oasis Jewel Flower Hair Clips | £6.00 reduced to £3.00
The final accessories in my mini haul are these really sweet jewelled flower hair clips. I've always been a girl who wear pretty accessories in my hair, in particular flowers, so I just had to pick these up! Hair accessories are perfect for dressing up an outfit and as these have little diamantes in the middle, they also bring some added sparkle to them! These are really sweet and I think they look great paired with any hair style.

So this is my little haul from the past couples of weeks. I've tried to link as many things as possible but I think for sale items it's a case of looking around and seeing what's in your local stores. I hope you enjoyed this post and as always, please do leave your links to any hauls you may have done recently - I do love having a good nose through what people have bought!

Have you treated yourself to anything lately?
