Love The Scent of Me Bath

 These mini Ice Creams are so cute! First I love the scent, it's so fruity and feminine. They come in a resealable package, but are also each wrapped individually so you aren't worried about them being exposed to air. The first night I got them, I tossed one into my bath and the water was foamy and smelled amazing. I am also happy to report that the scent lingers, and did not dry out my skin or make it feel sticky. These are a nice affordable alternative to other brands that cost a little more, but you get less. I will be picking up other scents for sure!

This Shower Sherbet is an exfoliating sugar scrub. It looks like something I want to put a straw in and drink heh. This scrub has the scent of pomegranate, cranberry, apple and peach notes sprinkled with a touch of bergamot oil. It is an amazing at exfoliating, without being abrasive to my skin. I use body scrubs often, but I can't use ones that are harsh to my sensitive skin.



I was at Target the other day with my friend (hard to believe I know) and I mentioned to her that I had been using these products. She bought the the body wash in Summer Rain. She texted me later that week and said she went back for the rest of the products it smelled so amazing. Now I feel like I need more scents too.

I love a good at home pamper session, but these are so affordable I can treat myself everyday if I wanted. Have you tried anything from Me! bath?

Looking Forward to Three New Launches

Whilst I’m always trying a tonne of new things, I endeavour to bring you the crème de la crème of this freshly picked crop. It’s always nice when something is debuting on the scene and is all shiny and new and sometimes we get blindsided in the prettiness of it all, but I try my best not to give in to my Magpie-like tendencies and instead just save the really, really purchase-worthy stuff for post material. Case in point; the following three items which in a sea of autumn/winter releases have really stood out as things that are a little bit different, a lot functional and are well worth a spot in your makeup bag, or in some cases – your party bag…

Clarins Joli Rouge Lipstick – launches September. Clarins have re-vamped their Jolie Rouge range which will be cropping back up on counters during this month. There are 25 shades in total and there’s a bit of everything from vampy berries to a shedload of nudes. Whilst the brights are nice, I prefer something a little more matte for those and seeing as the formula is so creamy and easy, I think the subtler colours are the real stars of the show here. 751 Tea Rose has made it into my makeup bag, but 747 Rosy Nude, which is slightly more peach, 707 Petal Pink, which is more pink and 705 Soft Berry which is a bit more plum are all waiting in the wings. Everyone’s going to find a suitable nude here.

Estée Lauder Double Wear Makeup to Go – launches October. Now this is an interesting one. Estée Lauder have taken their bestselling Doublewear range and fused it with the whole ‘Miracle Cushion‘ trend to create a handbag-friendly compact that holds a foundation formula that’s basically made for touch-ups. The texture is a little more blendable and lighter than the original Doublewear, so it’s a good one to layer and it’s pumped out of a little circle in the middle of the compact by pressing a button (side note: pressing the button becomes very addictive). I’m not the biggest powder lover in the world and as someone whose skin eats up foundation for breakfast I’m the perfect customer for this kind of thing. I really like it. Plus the dispensing mechanism means the whole ‘feeling gross about double-dipping into a sponge‘ thing is not an issue here. Phew.

Illamasqua Broken Gold – launches November. Now this might not look like your typical Anna pick here and yes I must admit that my inner Magpie might have drawn me to this one, but just look at that. GOLD LEAF IN A TUBE! Ah common’ – it has festive season written all over it. The set-up might fool you into thinking that we’ve got a gloss on our hands here, but instead it’s a watery texture that evaporates after application leaving behind a non-sticky, non-uniform layer of gold leaf behind that doesn’t move. It’s just asking to be patted on over the top of eyeshadow or on the tops of the cheeks. I want to bath my face in the stuff. When this is released I urge you to run to your nearest counter.
