It's Me Mel: haul

Gabriella's Primark Stationery!❤️

Hello everyone!

Today I have decided to write up a haul/review of Gabriella's (or most of you may know her as Velvetgh0st on Youtube) new stationery collection that has recently made an appearance in most of the Primark stores.

I was super excited to get my hands on some of this collection especially as last time she brought out a homeware collection I was unable to buy any of the range as it sold out too quickly :(

However the item I was most desperate to find was this purple pencil case retailing at £4.00 which has the letters 'XOXO' .. obviously inspired by the Netflix series Gossip Girl!

Instead of using this as a pencil case it has now become my makeup brushes bag as they all fit in this perfectly. It has therefore become my new favourite thing.

The second item I was also so excited to add to my collection of coolness was this fluffy pen costing £1.50 that just makes me want to scream 'it's so fluffy!!' I can imagine that quote from Despicable Me was the inspiration for this amazing invention!

I will now carry this with me to all University lectures knowing I will be the coolest kid in the room.

Last but not least is this notebook retailing only at an affordable £2.50!

Recently I have been thinking about purchasing a notebook to write down all my blogging ideas to hopefully build up a schedule for possible weekly posts to make this more of an ongoing thing instead of posting once in a while. This notebook will therefore be used for this and anything else I need to jot down.

I find the colour/design of this collection super adorable as snippets of her personality are evident in some of them! This obviously not meaning she looks like a fluffy pen sometimes but the 'XOXO' on the pencil case reminds me of Gossip Girl and the fluffy pen makes me want to scream IT'S SO FLUFFY! By noticing the inspiration for these items, this makes the stationery fun and quirky!

These items are ridiculously affordable but at great quality, especially for a student like myself!

I am so pleased to have bought some of this collection before it sells out like last time!

Let me know in the comments below if you've bought any of the collection yet and what one is your favourite :)

Thanks for reading,

XOXO,

Gossip Girl

Stocking up on LUSH!

bbloggers

Hello my lovelies!

Today I have a lush haul for you which I don't know about you but for me, I love these posts/videos! I also love Lush with a passion - everything about the brand, the smell, consistency, packaging.. uhh.

The very first thing I picked up as I put on my list after seeing many good reviews on it was the Snow Fairy shower gel.

For starters this smells amazing. It gives a wiff of a sweet, candle floss scent, if I had my eyes closed I would probably try to eat it! It just reminds me of fun fares, rides, ferris wheels - therefore making me happy! I cannot wait to give it a try and see how sparkly it turns out to be. Also, smelling like candy floss is a big win.

The next thing I picked up was the 'Rub Rub Rub' Body Scrub when I was just browsing through the shower collection. I have never used a body scrub before and definitely not from Lush. I only ever exit the shop with bath bombs. So because of this I thought I would lose my everything but Lush bath bomb virginity and give it a go as I thought it would be just like exfoliating, but on my body. Once using this in the shower I fell in love, it has a slight rough texture which feels amazing leaving a tingly after-feeling. Although I did notice a difference as my body felt so much smoother and tighter as it would after I exfoliate my face.

Another product which was also the reason I visited Lush was because I was on the hunt for a face mask which ended up to be the 'Don't Look At Me' Fresh Face Mask. I decided on this after having a long chat with an employee as I have never used a face mask from Lush before, clueless as to what I was looking for. As I was looking at other face masks he guided me to the Fresh Face Masks I never knew such a thing of! Ooooh exciting times. He introduced me to this and one other. As I remember, he told me this does everything - exfoliate, leaves a clean and smooth finish. Whereas the other one I think it was called 'Oatifix' he said it would be more suitable for sensitive skin. Although my skin can tend to be quite sensitive I decided to give it a go, if it doesn't work out I might give Oatifix a try!

The last thing I picked up at the counter which retails only at £1.95 is the Butterbear bath bomb. He is the cutest little guy I had to pick him up! It was last minute and the woman behind the counter told me his qualities are soothing and gentle. Although I am at university and living without a bathtub I just couldn't leave without one of these. He smells amazing - a mix of cocoa butter and vanilla I cannot wait to give him a swim in my bath!

That is the end of my Lush Haul! There will probably be a pure Christmas themed haul coming soon because I cannot wait to get my hands on the Christmas collection!

What are your favourite products from Lush?
