What's in My Bathroom Drawer?

Hello!

Today I thought I'd give you a peek into my bathroom drawer, which contains all my everyday essential products that I use. Keep in mind that I consistently switch up my products, so these are things that I'm currently enjoying! 



Please excuse the messiness! It's a bit of organized chaos, so I'll give you the details in sections.

Hair:
 I have very long naturally thick and curly hair and I do quite a bit of styling on it. What I do with it all depends on how I feel that day. I do everything from curled, waved, straighten or diffused. Sometimes I leave it all natural. All of my hair brushes are from Stylize, this is a brand that I found at Shoppers Drug-mart which is the main drugstore in Canada if your reading this from another part of the world. The brushes are all very cheap and well made. I've had most of these brushes for years and they've done me well! Over all great cheap and cheerful products! I own one normal oval brush, two round brushes (the smaller one is used to curl my bangs and the bigger one I use to blow dry straighten my hair), a hair teasing brush and smoothing paddle brush. I also have things like hair grips, clips and hair ties. I also have things like my hair donut (bad hair day life saver) and my tangle teaser. I don't store my hair care products in this drawer, and include all those in another post soon to come!

 Facial Skin Care:
I have combination and acne prone skin, which can mean sometimes be quite a task to deal with. Currently I am enjoying to apply Lush Grease Lighting Cleanser, Boots No.7 Oil Control Lotion and Olay Moisturizing Facial Lotion. I apply these day and night, and I find that this combination of products is currently helping my skin a lot!

Body Skin Care:
The Body Shop Body Butter is a essential for me, I always have one on hand because it is so deeply moisturizing but it also does not irritate my eczema. I also have the Jergens Radiant Glow Gradual Sunless Tanning Lotion, I absolutely love this product because it gives just a slight bronze glow, its so moisturizing and it comes off extremely easy! I also have a St Ives Spray Shea Butter Lotion and Watkins Pomegranate and Grapefruit Body Lotion. I also use Aloe Vera, seriously is one of the best products for your skin! If you don't already use it, you should! So many benefits to it.  I also always have baby powder, it helps calm down my eczema breakouts.

That's everything! 
Honestly, you should give all these products a try if you can! They're great, and cheap! Most are also found at your local drugstore. 

Enjoy!

My 5 Favourite Lush Products!

Hello! 

Today I thought i'd write about Lush!
Because who doesn't love Lush?
I've been shopping there for about two years and I can honestly say it's one of my favourite places to spend my money! It just makes me so happy when I walk in and you can smell all the different floral and sweet scents! I just find it to be so comforting, also the staff are always so amazing, kind and helpful. It's all important to me that this company is against testing on animals and to provide the exact information on the ingredients that are in each product!
Honestly, if you haven't ever been in to take a peek on what they have to offer I highly recommend that you do! You won't regret it, there's something in there for everyone. Lush provides everything from Skin Care to Makeup to Hair Care to Luxury Bath products. 
I'll share with you my 5 Favourite products to help get you started, and if your a loyal shopping there maybe there's one here you haven't tried!

1. Twilight Bath Bomb 
A Lush Bath Bomb is a product that you can put into your bath and it will fizz up and dissolve! They leave you with a wonderfully smelling bath and coloured water! They also do wonders for skin, and my skin always feels so soft after! Twilight provides a gorgeous lavender smell!


2.Tisty Tosty Bath Bomb
This one provides you with a lovely rose scent! But isn't too strong in scent, so it's just perfect!


3. Blue Skies and Fluffy White Clouds Bubble Bar
A Bubble bar provides you with the needed bubbles! Break off a chunk and crumble under the tape and your good to go! Bubble Bars create bubbles that last a long time, they're also amazing because the can last multiple baths!  

4. Ceridwen's Cauldron Bath Melt
Bath Melts are meant to provide some lovely skin care for you while your in the bath, just set one in and let it melt! Once it's melted, all the lovely things will absorb into your skin and you don't even have to think about it! This particular one is very calming and soothing, I suffer from eczema and it helps to calm it down quite a bit! This one also provides oats left over in the cloth that you can use to exfoliate your skin!

5. King of Skin Body Butter
This is a lovely body butter in a bar form, super easy to use and melts into your skin instantly! 


There you have it!
