Soho soap co - Bubble bath/shower gel review

Hello everybody, today I thought I would do a little review on a couple of shower gels/bath soaps from Soho soap co. 



Lets all just take a moment to appreciate the very cute packaging
I actually picked these lovelies up from sainsburys and they were two for £4. And even though I really didn't need anymore shower/bath stuff I couldn't resist not buying them. I chose the 'spiced apple tart' and 'caramel creme' flavours and heres what I though about them:
Spiced apple tart
This soap is from their 'patisserie' range and smells so sweet and comforting. I use this as shower gel and bubble bath, and surprisingly I prefer using this as a shower gel as I step out of the shower smelling like a freshly baked apple tart! Okay... Maybe not but I do smell AMAZING! 
This is also a 500ml bottle, and I have used generous amounts of the soap in the bath and shower, so im expecting this to last for a long time. 




Caramel creme
This was actually the soap that I smelt first, and I straight away was obsessed. This smells absolutely fantastic. It has a very sweet warming  scent that really does smell like caramel. It is also quite strong so when I put it into my bath the room always smells so gorgeous and sweet. Although I will admit that these do not make the most amount of bubbles compared to some other bubble baths. But most bubble baths do not smell as amazing as these do. Therefore its a win! 





The soaps also have a 'promise' on the back of each bottle. Which is to guarantee a lovely smelling bath/shower and make lots of bubbles. The way that the information is presented on the bottles make the products very appealing.

Now when I was researching about the company I was very shocked that I could only find the products at saisburys. Which needs to change because I can see these being extremely successfully. 
So next time you are there (to anyone in England or potentially throughout the UK) you should definitely pick up some of their products :)
Also they are made in the UK, and I was unable to find out any information regarding if the company test on animals, which I do find important. However for now I 100% recommend these products as they are irresistible. :)

If only there was a Bath and body works in the UK...

Let my begin by saying that to anyone who lives in the States or somewhere with a local Bath and Body works, I am extremely jealous!
I am visting LA in just a few months and one of the few places that I am desperate to visit is Bath and Body works, which may not exactly be a great idea as I would actually want to buy one of everything... literally.

I thought I would share some of my favourite products that are available on their website. And no they do not ship to the UK, unfortunately :(

Im am totally obsessed with candles, and just searching through their range makes me want every single one. Especially with their sale because the currency rate makes them super cheap in pounds!



Theses 'pocketbacs' are amazing. I had a friend who went to America and bought so many of theses back,  and I used to always use every single one of them. Purely because they all smelt soooo delightful. 



Everyone loves a little body mist. Especially ones that come in a range of wonderful scents. 
These body mists are defiantly on my wish list! and the price of them is extremely cheap, they work out around £3.50 each! (in the sale of course) 





So now who agrees that there should totally be a Bath and body works in the UK.
Comment what you think of these amazing products and let me know if you are luckily enough you have a local store, and what you think of the shop.

Topshop - winter sale favourites

It's that time of the year again, where every store has their winter sales.
I surprisingly haven't brought much so far. But im always checking out my favourite shops just to see if they have anything online that I must buy!
One of my favourite shops for sales is Topshop, and I have been looking at their online sale and I thought I would share my favourites that I might just have to buy!




1. Frill Raglan Jumper- £20
2. Ditsy Flower Collar Blouse- £10
3. Raglan Top- £8
4. MOTO Tile Print Leigh Jeans- £25
5. MOTO Ripped Aubergine Leigh Jeans- £25
6. Patterned Funnel Neck Sweater- £20

These are just a few of my favourites from Topshop's sale. I'm loving the range of clothes that are available as they have simple tees that would go great with a casual look, but also have quirky jeans that would be perfect with a simple plain jumper. I think that the contrast is great and adding some Topshop into your wardrobe this January would defiantly be ideal.

What shops are you loving for sale shopping?

I recently started watching the series on netflix and I love it, and im thinking about giving the books a read even though I do feel a little old to be reading them. Next I want to read will grayson will grayson which is a book that I actually picked up in 2013. Although I have been reading so much that I never was able to read it, so this year I am determined to pick it up and start reading!
