review, lush lipscrub

 Recently i took a trip to Lush and picked up a few things including this lip scrub named mint julips which i've heard a lot about over youtube and other beauty blogs so i though i'd give it a shot. My lips are quite dry anyway so especially in winter and i find it quite hard to stop my lips flaking throughout the day which looks awful with lipstick on! I also find it hard to get a nice smooth surface as my lips seem to have all sorts on nooks and crannies in them. I've tried to make my own before because i though they'd be just the same with sugar and honey and didn't really see much of improvement so went to see if Lush could do a better job considering everyone seemed to love them. They retail  for £4.95 which at first i thought was a bit pricey for a bit of sugar but it really is worth it, all you need is a pea size about out of the 25g jar and gently rub it on your lips you can then either lick it off with your lips (which is what i prefer because it tastes so nice!) or just wipe away with a tissue. Then this is optional but i like to apply a lip balm and then apply your lipstick/lip gloss. After applying not only were all the flakes of skin gone and stayed away all day but my lips felt really plumped and refeshed which i love. Overall i think this is a great product and really worth the money i would defiantly recommend this flavor as it tastes of mint and chocolate *yum* and i'm defiantly going to be repurchasing this again and again :-)

7 ways to wear a scarf

^^^
1. Loop and through

This first one is really easy and simple to do and the one i wear the most. All you do is loop your scarf in half then pull the other side through.

^^^
2. Loose snood 
This one is more of an accessory than for keeping you warm but it can pull an outfit together if you use a nice colourful scarf. So all you do is place the scarf around you neck with both sides hanging down your back then bring the opposite side of the scarf over to the opposite shoulder. Then just pull the neck line down.

3. DIY snood
This is a bit of a cheat if you don't have a snood and will also keep you warm. All you do is tie either ends together in a knot and wrap it over your head twice.

4. Loose
Scarves can also look great just left hanging down like this, its creates a very smart and pulled together look especially a light scarf over a dark coat.

 5. Over the shoulder
This is such a simple but bold statement to wear a scarf like this it looks pulled together and like you've really made an effort even if you haven't!

^^^
 6. Twist
This one may take a few times to get the look you desire but the overall effect looks good and will keep you nice and snug on those cold winter nights. Wrap the scarf around the back of you neck and grab both sides and pull close to your right shoulder then twist them together then wrap it around your neck as many times as you like and depending on how long the scarf is. Then tuck it in.

7. Knot 

just had to include this cute
picture of the snowman
i made wearing his scarf.

This is also really simple and looks lovely with silk scarfs with nice patterns which you can't really see the effect of with a white scarf. Just grab both side and tie in a loose knot.


















hope your all enjoying the snow (if you live in the UK):--)
