LUSH Birthday Haul


It was my Birthday last Saturday and during in my birthday shopping trip I couldn't resist picking up a few bits I've had my eyes on in LUSH. (If you didn't see my last haul, click here)

The last time I went to LUSH I went a bit crazy testing stuff out on my hand and when I got home I kept getting a whiff of something amazing. However,I smelt all the products I had bought, but unfortunately it wasn't anything I purchased in store that day. So when I went to LUSH on Saturday I tested out the products I thought it might be! It turned out to be the Vanillary Solid Perfume.It's described as a "sweet, yet sophisticated vanilla fragrance".  Now, here's the thing, I am absolutely in love with the scent of this, a lot of people say the jasmine is too overpowering which I don't find, however since purchasing it and wearing it I have had the biggest headache/migraine sort of thing, is it something to do with this perfume? I can't be sure, but I have read reviews of people saying it gives them headaches.
Another purchase of this trip was the Feeling Younger skin tint, I love a bit of highlight but I do find some can make you look a bit too shimmery.On the LUSH website it's described as "A light-reflecting skin tint made with oats, fragrant essential oils and cocoa butter for a gorgeous glow". So far I really like this product, as you an see from the swatch it blend really nicely and leaves a lovely glow but isn't too shimmery. Plus it goes perfectly with Jackie Oates. When wearing this even my boyfriend noticed that I looked different so it must be doing something!

Recently I've seen quite a few blog posts on Jackie Oates colour supplement. On the packaging this is described as a product for "fairer folk and English roses". Now I'm the the kind of person who only wears foundation because of my spot prone skin however if I had the choice I'd wear something lighter. I am quite pale so I never delved into the world of BB creams as I knew they'd probably not suit my skin tone. I haven't used this product enough to give a full review, but so far so good and it would be perfect for summer! 


Finally, I was gifted this bath bomb for my birthday from one of my lovely Uni friends, Avobath bath bomb I'm yet to use it but it smells amazing, it's so sweet and reminds me of sherbert! On the LUSH website it's described as "citrus bath bomb to cheer the spirits and feed thirsty skin" as it contains oils such as avocado and olive oil for tackling dryness (see full list of ingredients here). I've heard good things about this product so cannot wait to use it!

Have you tried any of these products? If not, would you be interested in a full review of any of these items?
