Review: Lush - Secret Santa

Modelled on our first shop in Poole and fragrenced with our 29 High Street perfume this is our very own Santa’s grotto. The fragrance was created to emulate the rich smell of essential oils inside the shop, and there's even a miniature red Father Christmas bath bomb inside!

This bath ballistic was very large, and when you shook it it rattled. Because this was so big I smashed it in to pieces so I could divide it between two baths. Inside of the house shell was a red santa's head which turned the water a red colour although with the amount of orange this was overpowered in the bath water. 

The fragrance of this was a slight Ylang Ylang although it was fresh with a vague citrus scent to it as well. Although the scent didn't linger on the skin nor was it particularly over powering in the bath itself.

I found that this made the water a great uplifting orange colour, however it also spat out a lot of dirt and twigs. Almost like the floor of a forest in your bath. However it didn't last and didn't mean a lengthy clean up afterwards.




 

Leighton Denny - The Sky's the Limit Collection

Starstruck // Crystal Finish Top Coat // Fireball // Undercover Base Coat // Moon Shine

This set comes with three polishes, a base and a top coat.

  

 

Starstruck;

Starstuck is a glitter black polish, opaque in two coats.

Fireball;

Fireball is a orange, red, pink glitter polish. Opaque in two coats.

Moon Shine;

Moon Shine is described as a cream shimmer. This is three coats of it and you can still see my smile line. This would work well as a topper.

The base coat is good, it leaves your nails matte which helps the polish to stick, it is also a pink, nude colour which helps disguise any discoloration your nails might have. The Crystal Finish top coat is relatively quick drying, and does leave a nice shine to the nails. An improvement on the previous version.

Stamping Plate: MoYou London - Festive Collection 03 (XL)

 

This stamping plate is the XL sized one, meaning the full nail images are 1.5cm by 2cm. Festive Collection 03 has 12 full nail images on it, the plate as with all MoYou London plates is backed with white plastic.

I used Kleancolor Metallic Fuchsia 144 to stamp with and all of the images stamped fine. I had a bit of a problem with the swirl images that is because it has a lot of space, but changing my scraping method to more of a 45 degree angle it worked fine.

I haven't had the chance to use this much yet but I am sure it will get used more in December. You can see all of the designs I have done using this here once I have.
