Hey lovelies!

Hello Lovlies,

Having never done a Bath bomb/Lush haul before ever on Abbey Hearts (Which is totally unlike me, bath queen over here) I thought November would be a fitting month. It's the run up to Christmas, its now snowing outside so why not cosy up - put the heating on full blast and run a nice relaxing bath. I have been a lover of all things bath time since forever, it makes it fun & relaxing all at the same time. The bath bombs/fizzers & bubble bars in this haul I have collected since the end of October (so excuse the halloweens items), from a mixture of places. I can't wait to share them with you!


First up are my beloved Lush bits, again from October but who says you can't just get round to using them?! However you may think I'm barking mad but the "Sparkly Pumpkin" bubble bar shown below is still available on the Lush website and leaving soon so be quick! It claims to be "uplifting, protecting and refreshing" all in one. But the true reason I bought into this sparkle bomb is indeed for the crazy amount of glitter - you'll find glitter everywhere after using this, trust me! Sparkly Pumpkin is a bubble bar therefore a little sprinkle under the hot running water is all that is needed to create autumnal heaven in the tub!


Another one of my favourite all time scents from Lush is Snow Fairy which is now available as a jelly bath bomb! Anyone else as excited as me? The snow fairy scent is timeless and gorgeous, with the jelly style bomb making a new twist on the old classic. Now not to be hasty or controversial but I this bath bomb to me is massive! Therefore I would never use all of it on one bath only. Call me old fashioned but I like to be savvy, priced at £4.95 each this will definitely last me at leat 2 - 3 baths, as well as some of the others in this haul. And its pink so whats not to love?


A newbie in my haul is Rocket Science, again from Lush priced at £2.95 each, which in my opinion is decent for the size you receive. The lovely sparkly blue colour is what first attracted me to this particular bomb, and again claiming to be "uplifting and refreshing" on Lush.com. I got this as a present for my mum to try as we both loveeee a good bath. I can't wait to see Rocket Science get fizzy in the bath, and the scents and trails it leaves behind. They're always so much fun!


A brand I haven't tried before but was intrigued to is bomb cosmetics. These 2 caught my eye immediately in the shop (it was a garden centre could you believe) just because of how beautifully christmassy and cute they are! I decided to purchase 2 as the deal was 2 for £6 which is cheaper than 2 bigger bath bombs at Lush. Both smell gorgeous, I picked up Ugly Ducking and Candy Cane Lane.  Priced at £2.99 each. I can't wait to see how they both fizz up and go under the challenge once in the water, because to this day I haven't found any as good as Lush.


Im sorry this was only a tiny haul, but a haul none the less. I also hope you enjoyed it! Maybe it gave you a little inspiration to go shopping (sorry not sorry). But it is the season for giving so why not treat yourself and a pal all at the same time! Please let me know if you would like to see my reaction/thoughts to how they all fizz up in the bath - and always keep an eye on my social media for that good ol reverse boomerang. Comment below if you have any recommendations for me to buy next...Im always on the lookout haha!

Hello Lovlies,

So me and my bestie went for a little shopping spree last week, so obviously we had to nip into Primark only to be surprised by the amazing beauty section! We both picked up one of these new 9 shade custom eye shadow palettes and I haven't stopped using it since! I recently saw these on @Primarks insta stories, so they are definitely a new launch.

So for reference the shades were individually 60p and the palette was £3



I chose to make a 9 shade palette as I just loved way too many shades for a quad (£2) and for the extra money why the hell not. This palette is just stunning and I can create so so many different looks using it! The shades are beautiful (I already want to make another one!) and the colour pay off is insane for the 60p price tag!


Of course I had to go for an autumnal vibe with this palette as its October and custom made to suit all my needs. Looks for daytime, for uni and for date night. I think this palette smashed all three. I went for a mixture of mattes, shimmers and glitters. Including a gorgeous khaki shade that I just had to try and now cannot get enough of!


Since creating this palette last week I have managed to create a different eye look every single day, often getting compliments from fellow friends and family then them being shocked that it could be from Primark! They have really upped their game recently as I also love a liquid lipstick from their insta girl range! As this was custom again I went for a warm tone palette as this definitely suits my skin tone and blue eye colour more than a cooler tone of colours.

Primark had a lot of colours to choose from...and I mean a lot! We must have been stood there at least half an hour picking our 9 shades each, but it was so bloody fun and therapeutic!


Each shade has a name on the bottom of the pan, just like MAC however this isn't available to see until purchased and taken out of the packaging. So these are the shades I bought...


As you can see the shades are just stunning and perfect for autumn with a berry lip and a cosy wooly jumper! The shade Naked is beautiful however my camera didn't pick it up very well, but it is a perfect inner corner and brow bone highlight! All Very creamy however some matte shades seem to be a little powdery with only minimal to almost no fall out, but I really don't mind that for the price I payed for these shadows. Overall I am finding the quality and colour pay off insane for everyday use, with a good mixture of colours! I also think these would make great gifts for girls in the family and besties alike. My top 3 are Basil, Sun Kissed and Cranberry - if you can't afford the beloved Naked Heat palette then I would say some of these colours are a definite 'dupe'. Truffle mixed with Espresso also doubles up for a perfect shade for my eyebrows, this palette is the ultimate win win!

Please tweet me and comment below if you've also bought into the custom eye shadow palettes at Primark! As I definitely recommend them! All my social media links are in the sidebar and below, also please don't forget to comment as I loved and appreciate all feedback and just love to have a general chat!
