a little shop haul around town

so i thought i would pop in a few shops i would not normally  do.
so boots i popped in to a larger store as our one in town is small,
so looking at cleansers i tried a brand from what i often get in my monthly sub boxes.
weleda almond sensitive skin soothing cleansing lotion.fragrance free.£8.50
weleda almond sensitive skin.
 this contains plum kernel oil,mild almond oil,
i found it rather too thick to use on my face daily and  had to scrub at my skin.defeated the object really.



models own clear lip gloss .£5
this is non sticky and clear , I'm always on a look out for a clear  gloss and  although ive tried there nail polishes and find then thin and lacking substance i thought i would try something else.
models own clear gloss.

and my main buy which I'm loving ,


nails inc. kensington gel effect plumping top coat.£12
the must have top coat,this gives the look of there famous gel nails with out the use of uv lamps.
this technique uses triple polymer technology,your plumping top gives a look of smooth plumped nails giving instant volume and shine.
helps your nails from fading,chipping,breaking.

HOT from Japan Yu.BE skin cream.

hello everyone ,I'm so excited with my new product i love it.
so Ive suddenly been looking up skin care and cosmetics from japan,china,Korea,the past 2 months and found that one is coming to the UK finally .

so here is Yu.BE.          pronounced YOO-BEE.



A LITTLE INFO ;in 1957 a young pharmacist name Yoshikiyo  Nowatari, first introduced his now famous concentrated glycerin moisturising cream.
generations of families have been brought up on it as there skin care.a uniquely high glycerin and absorbability that has been achieved through a special manufacturing system  that has made this product so good and effective on really dry skin,that puts it ahead of others on the market.
Yu.BE . also contains vitamin E and vitamin B2,  vitamin C,and camphor helps with irritations. sodium hyaluronate retains moisture to smooth rough skin and smooth lines.

this can be used on the body Good for face ,knees,elbows, knees,feet.,lips to protect from the harsh cold,water,sun. also helps heal cuticles if split.
a non greasy formula leaves skin soft all day and night.
contains no artificial colours or fragrance.

Ive been wearing this for a week now and i love it .and sinks in so well.
next i  really really want to try the YU.BE moisturising body lotion and definitely the YU.BE foaming skin polish  and YU.BE lip therapy.

can now be found on -line at boots here.http://www.boots.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/EndecaSearchListerView?storeId=10052&searchTerm=10154095.P&ta=1&typeAhead=true&langId=-1&catalogId=11051#container

    avobath  £3.20 100g
Always forget this basic one but got one last month and I had forgotten how good it was ,
Avocado,green lustre,lemongrass,virgin olive oil.
A real zingy little number and moisturising too.
avobath.

 washing up fairy wand £3.25
I still have half of last years one left ,but after being caught out last month with no washing up liquid ,I soon used the wand ,
You only need a little or it leaves a film over everything ,citrus, a real lemon feel.
Lasts for ages and the only wand of any use as far as I say ,the others are a let down and purely gimmicky and not overly scented.
washing up fairy wand.


well as i needed t take back my black tubs i got 2 face masks.
(if you take 5 black tubs or solid perfume tubes, all washed an clean ,you can pick up  a free tub of face mask or a tub of hair doctor.)


Catastrophe cosmetic face mask £5. 95.  75g
Fully packed with blueberry's works well on teen skin,
catastrophe cosmetic

Cosmetic warrior. £5.95.  75g
This smells like Mr sheen furniture polish ,has garlic in it ,but if you can get past the smell it a fab face mask .probably the best.it leaves the skin smooth ,line free,blemish free.i love this one it doesn't make the skin tight either.

cosmetic warrior


and i need to get my son some more hankies and he always get 2 of the new ones out so we got 2 Mr foxy.

foxy knot wrap 
so i thought i let you know what else i thought ,I'm so glad we have a store in Canterbury UK,i love the girls there they are attentive and definitely not in your face and demanding like one of the stores near by,they have been well trained and defiantly know there products, and ingredients,i think along with the casual relaxed atmosphere in store they will be very busy this year as Canterbury has so many locals and covers many areas not including the multi national customers from France,Germany,Netherlands,china,japan,that visit Canterbury,so if your you fancy a visit make your way to lush Canterbury and say hello.
also if your looking for a kids party ,adult party ,leaving party,face mask party,baby shower ,pop on in and ask for details or contact via email or Facebook page.Email: canterbury@lush.co.uk  and https://www.facebook.com/LushCanterbury
