Review - Lush 17 Cherry Tree Lane Soap (+ a few small others)

My sister got this for her birthday, along with the Sakura bath bomb but she doesn't really use stuff like this so she gave them to me. (Thanks!) On Lush's website, this is in with the Retro soaps.
I'll admit that I wouldn't buy this myself because it has a floral scent to it (I prefer delicate floral, sweet, fruity scents) and it doesn't have that exciting appearance to stand out from the crowd.
I used this soap today, it lathered up well and left my hands feeling soft like all of Lush's soaps do. The smell also lingers on your hands which is nice. Overall I would rate this as a pretty average soap because there isn't anything about this which is different to any other standard soap. If you do like strong floral scents then this would be perfect for you. Looking at the reviews on Lush's website, a lot of people love this soap, it just isn't something I would buy.

I have also tried these Lush soaps:
Honey I Washed The Kids
Rock Star
Mudflat

I can not find Mudflat anymore :( But I loved it. It was good for people who have spots on their backs and I actually liked the herbal natural smell.

I can not remember how good the other two were but I know they were pretty good. + They were the sweetest smells ever - Yum! (I'm going to re-purchase Honey I Washed The Kids).

I want to try Ice Blue known as the 'tingly peppermint' one. I'm sure this will wake my skin up and I will love the tingly sensation.

I do like the idea of using soaps rather than shower gels because they have many more natural ingredients instead of chemicals. On the other hand, I do tend to use shower gels more, simply because I'm lazy (Soaps become slippery and seem to have me falling around the bath trying to catch them!).

More reviews to come :)

A little about me :)

I wanted to make this post because people read posts, but sometimes never know anything about the person that actually creates the posts. So here goes: (More about me in the 'I think you're an awesome girl award' post. Can not be bothered to write them out again.)

*I'm called Louise, If you haven't already noticed!

*I'm 16, birthday in January.

*I live in Devon, next to Cornwall (I go to school in Cornwall) That's all I'm saying there!

*I'm currently in sixth form studying Biology, English Language, Media & Psychology.

*I have 'Auburn' hair. In other words, dark ginger!

*I have brown eyes.

*Am very slim and don't tend to put weight on. Good thing? I'm not sure.

*You know people cringe at the sound or thought of claws scraping down a black board? Well I cringe and shudder at the feeling of lollipop sticks. Wet wood on your teeth and tongue! Scraping across. Ew. I also can not dry and wipe up wooden spoons *Shudders*

*I have 5 piercings, 2 on each ear & my belly button :)

*I've saw a tag going round of what people prefer & one of them is 'Galaxy or Dairy Milk?' Now quite a lot of people have said Dairy Milk & I'm going to say that I'm a Galaxy kind of girl 100%. Galaxy is soooo much more creamier and mouth watering!

*I can't think of anymore yet :S When I do I'll add them! (Not that people will be interested reading about me, but oh well!)

Review - Boots Intensive Hair Masks

I've been using these for months now & they are defiantly going to be a few of my staple hair products. £1.95 for a huge 350ml tub!


These both smell gorgeous! I use one of these every few days as I have thick hair that can become dry. All you have to do is dollop as much as you want on to your hair after you have shampooed, leave for 5 minutes and then wash out. They really do make your hair super soft! I like the fact that the Henna & Horse Chestnut one is specifically for brunettes and redheads. It says on the back that the product enhances the natural colour and shine of the hair.

'Specially formulated to smooth frizz, leaving hair soft, shiny, tangle free and deeply moisturised.'
^ I think this statement is pretty true :)

Cheap, a lot of product and it leaves your hair looking and feeling amazing.

Shadow & Jessie Playing

Here is a video of my dogs playing. Shadow is about 11 years old so she doesn't play a lot and she has been getting annoyed with the puppy always trying to play with her. I think she has got used to Jessie and its brought out the puppy in her. I had to record them playing as it was so cute!

How was my second day?

Apart from still being a loner, having a headache, blisters on my feet, horrible weather & bad hair, my day was OK.
I had double Psychology but our teacher was really ill so we ended up having two free periods. Sounds good but it wasn't, it was so boring as all my friends were in lessons. Sitting there for two hours is not fun. I can't even go home because I live ages away.
I asked to swap Biology classes and they allowed me, but I swapped back to the class where I'm lonely because: I wasn't even sat with my friends, my time table would be mixed up and confusing, I would have free periods on my own (Even more than I do now) & one of their teachers is horrible - ha.

I suppose there is a lot worse going on in the world. I'll live.

*I also hate the weather at the moment. Dark, foggy and drizzly. I would rather it be raining! We had a glimpse of the sun this summer, but I wouldn't call it a summer at all :(

Can you tell I'm really not loving life at this point in time?! Lol.
My Avon comes in 6 days so that's a plus, I also get EMA soon (Hopefully) So I should have more money!
I hope all of your days went better than mine :)

Horrible First Day

Fourth post today but I have to have a rant!
OK so firstly, picture time! My photo is horrible! Nothing new there. Please just one nice photo in my life time!
Secondly, I am alone in all my classes. All my friends are together except me. This always happens, I'm the one put into classes by myself. I might ask to change classes because their the same subject, just different rooms & times. I don't think I will be allowed though.
Thirdly, walking home at lunch time, (Had no classes for the rest of the day) my 'pearl' necklace broke. Beads went flying everywhere. Thankfully there wasn't many people around but I'm still upset.
Every cloud has a silver lining but I really can't see one this time. Some may say 'You'll work harder now you're not with your friends' but I don't. I work better with my friends. It could be an opportunity to make new friends, but I know everyone already, I just don't 'click' with them.

The only good thing about today is I have just ate a Kinder Egg :) & am now building the toy hehe.
