Bath Time with Mj

So as you can see it's BATH TIME! I sure do loveeeee my baths. I don't have time for many. God that sounds dirty. I have showers daily I promise, but I try to make time for a luxury bath at least twice a week! So I can relax and use one of my many treats from Lush.

   I must also note that I did not go out and buy all of these together! This is a small collection I've built up in June. 

So here is one of the fairly new bath bombs in Lush called 'Sex Bomb' priced at £3.20, the bomb is huge. The bath bomb is full of lovely ingredients such as Jasmine, Clary Sage, Ylang Ylang and Soya Milk. 

Next is the 'Dorothy' Bubble Bar, decorated with a pretty rainbow on top. It leaves the bath a pretty blue colour and smells divine. It's a really fun treat at just £2.99, also allowing many uses as you crumble a small section into running water. 

Here is the 'Rose Queen'. Now I don't usually like the smell of roses, but this bath bomb isn't too strong or overpowering. It is packed with natural ingredients such as Rose Absolute, Cistus Oil, Tiger Lily Petals, Amaranth flowers, Apple Blossom and Larkspur Petals.

Now this is my favourite bath bomb!! It's the 'Butter Ball' priced at only £2.45 each. Now this bomb as Cocoa butter and Ylang Ylang oil leaving your skin silky smooth and smelling beautifully! But it's yummy vanilla fragrance that sells it for me!! 

This is the 'Creamy Candy' Bubble bar which is priced at £2.50 and has multiple uses! You crumble a small section of this and hold it under running water, it turns the water pink and gives off a similar smell to the 'Rock Star Soap' another favourite that I have previously posted about. The Bath bomb is packed with Almond Oil, Vanilla Absolute, Cocoa Butter and Cream of Tartar.

Here is the next bath bomb called 'Think Pink' priced at £2.50. I love the three flowers on top, really pretty colours! When I put this into the bath, it turned the bath pink and smelt gorgeous but it also contained small pink hearts that floated in the bath! They were soo cute and such a sweet touch!

This is 'Space Girl' priced at £2.10. The bath bomb is covered in pink and silver glitter, as you can see in the picture. This floats around the bath making it soo pretty! Inside this bath bomb there is space dust, also known as popping candy, which I must say gave me a fright as I entered my bath! It also contains Grapefruit Oil, Bergamot Oil and Almond Oil, making it extra yummy!

Last but not least is the 'You've been Mangoed' luxury bath melt. Now this item was priced at £3.10 but again it can be divided to provide you with three luxury mangoed baths! It contains Cocoa Butter, Almond Oil, Lemongrass Oil, Avocado Butter, Mango Butter, Lemon Oil and Lime Oil. Sooo many Oil's, that as you can guess leave your skin nourished and feeling silky smooth! 

I absolutely love popping into Lush and seeing their new products! Have you tried any of these bath products from Lush?

Sanctuary Goodies...

I ordered these 3 scrumptious products online at Sanctuary last week as there was a great 3 for 2 offer on selected products. I choose the Sanctuary Hand Cream, Body Scrub and Body Butter from the Travel & Trial section. 

So this is the Sanctuary Body Scrub.

I bought the 50ml travel Body Scrub for £2.00. It is described as 'A gentle, polishing gel body scrub that can be used daily to rejuvenate, refine and smooth skin. Fragrant patchouli, orange oil and natural pumice work together to leave skin awakened, invigorated and sublimely soft with a natural glow.'

While running myself a bath last night, I propped this on the side for its 'testing'! I massaged the scrub in circular motions on my damp skin and rinsed. This left my skin feeling brand new and soft with a gorgeous sanctuary signature scent! I suffer with patches of dry skin on my arms, so I would use this once or twice a week to smoothen my dry patches. It definitely helped by removing the dry skin, making it soft and smooth!

It then advised me to either use the Body Butter or Body Lotion.

My next purchase was the Body Butter. It's described as 'decadently rich body butter is an intensive skin booster crammed with nourishing cocoa butter and creamy shea butter. Super moisturising for instant results, this luxurious cream is laced with sweet almond oil, smoothing macadamia oil and protective vitamin E for all over pampering.'

After coming out of the bath and drying off, I applied a generous amount of the body butter and massaged it into my body. I also ensured that my dry skin patches, elbows, knees and heels had a second serving! I really enjoyed using this product, the reviews state that it helps clear dry skin! So I'm looking forward to seeing some results over the next few weeks.

I've been looking for a nice hand cream for a while, so when I seen this small 30ml tube for only £3.25!  I had to get it!

The Hand Cream is described as 'A whisper-light, non-greasy hand cream with conditioning shea butter and sweet almond oil will help restore moisture to the skin and give immediate comfort to dry hands. Your hands will be left feeling soft and smooth whilst delicately fragranced.'

I use this cream throughout the day, to soften and moisturise my hands that actually work quite a lot in school and while working at the gym. The cream is highly absorbent and leaves that gorgeous sanctuary signature scent! I'm really enjoyed this product and I find the tube clean and easy to use. However, I am on the hunt for some other Hand creams! So please leave any suggestions below!

The L'occitane Shea Butter Hand Cream and the Cherry Blossom Hand Cream look very apertising!

The Harrods Edition

So I received by special edition Harrod's Glossybox last week.

For those of you who don't know much about the Glossybox, It is a monthly subscription of £12.95, including postage. For that small price you get a beautiful box containing 5 samples of popular products. The idea is great for beauty lovers who want to try the new products but don't want to purchase the full product before they know it's the right product for them.

I was sooo disappointed with the previous glossybox. But they definitely made up for it in this months box. I loved the white and black box, looked really sophisticated and the green Harrods ribbon gave it a nice splash of colour. But what's in the box is more important!

So Here's what I got....

From left to right - 

+ Bliss - Blood Orange and White Pepper Body Butter 

+ Lancome - Juicy Tubes - Toffee R 'N' B 93
+ Revive- Intensive Creme Lustre SPF30
+ Versace - Vanitas Versace Eau De Parfum
+ Clarins - Extra - Firming Body Cream

I was pleased with each product in this month's box, However my favourite product was the Vanitas Versace Eau De Parfum. What a beautiful little sample.

It is described as 'A luxurious scent from the House of Versace. Vanitas is a rich and voluptuous fragrance with notes of tiare flower, lime and freesia.'

I absolutely love this scent and the gorgeous sample bottle just makes it even nicer. I will definitely be purchasing the full product soon!

What did you get in your Glossybox? Did you get this perfume too? What were your thoughts on this product?
