Virgin Vie Sleeping Beauty Pillow Mist

I'm going to level with you and tell you that I have had this bottle for the best part of about 4 years... If not longer...

My mum used to work for virgin vie as a party planner and I think I managed to sneak this away once she'd left. 

It reminds me of her as I remember she used to use it a lot at the time. 

I never really got into it, then a couple of weeks ago I found it again and decided to give it another try as I haven't been sleeping well.

Now whether it's a placebo effect and because I've used it, physcologically I know that and therefore sleep better or if it actually works I couldn't tell you! 

All I know is that when I use it, I genuinely  do sleep a lot better. I don't wake up in the night at all and feel a lot more refreshed in the morning.

It smells lovely, very calming. It hasn't as far as I'm aware made my hair smell of it at all and my pillows are not marked! Winning! 

The upsetting thing about all of this is, I don't have a massive amount left and after having a look online, it seems Virgin Vie have discontinued the product. 

This makes me sad, as I do love it. 

If anyone has any other recommendations of something similar i'd love to hear from you! 

If not, I think I'm going to have to search it out on eBay! 

Much love,

Taking my Jo Malone virginity.

So until recently my town didnt have a Jo Malone shop and after reading so many blogs about the products and seeing it all over YouTube I obviously wanted to see what all the fuss was about and was not disappointed.

The assistants were lovely and so helpful. 

Explaining the scents to me including the one I really wanted to try which was the Wood, Sage and Sea Salt. 

I took my Grandma along with me and after using the same perfume for as long as I can remember even she's putting it on her Birthday List! 

I love the scent as it's so nice and fresh and the assistant was lovely enough to give me a sample of the body butter in the fragrance to try out. 

She's also invited me along to their 'Rock the Ages' product launch. 

Sipping champagne, getting a hand and arm massage whilst being shown the new range sounds like heaven to me! Thank you very much! 

Can't wait to look into this brand a bit more and make a few sneaky purchases! 

It's my Birthday in a couple of weeks so fingers crossed! 

What's your favourite scent from Jo Malone? 

Much Love,

Mini Lush Haul!

So on Thursday I tweeted saying I was going to lush to pick up a few things and I tried really hard not to go mad and get everything which is one of my constant battles whenever I walk in the shop... Or anywhere near it to be honest.

I was going in specifically to get the Unicorn Horn bubble bar after seeing my local store tweeting about it and them being out of stock every time I went in! 

Luckily they had it in on Thursday so I'm very excited to use this.

Look how pretty it is!

It's everything a girl could want in a bubble bar. It's so many pretty colours and it has stars all around it! 

It's also scented with Lavender oils which makes it perfect to use when you want to relax or before bed to help you sleep.

I also picked up two other little bits. One was the Avobomb as I picked it up a few months back and then actually gave it to a friend as a present because I knew she'd love it. She hasn't tried it yet as far as I know but I have been wanting to repurchase it so I could try it myself for a while! 

Lastly I picked up Phoenix Rising. This again looks super pretty! 

It's a really lovely shimmery purple colour and smells like cinnamon. 

It's meant to help hydrate your skin with the cocoa and shea butter in it as well as the cinnamon scent intending to lift you're mood. 

I'm looking forward to using all three of these. 

Do you have any Lush recommendations? 

Much Love,
