Easter Lush haul

Hello PPb's

Well you all know how much I love Lush and I know how much you all do too! so I thought I would do a quick post to show you what I purchased during my spontaneous lunch break trip to Lush a few days ago. Now if you're anything like me, you can't go into Lush and not purchases anything, so I limited myself to 3 things and 3 things only, ( I would spend so much money otherwise) Here is what I got. 
I love it when Lush bring out their themed items, I get a little too excited! :) I'm not going to go into detail about any of them because I'm going to to individual posts for them all when I use them so keep your eyes peeled for that! :) But how cute are they! :) and they obviously all smell amazing!

Do you like Lush? Whats your favourite item there?

Lots of Love

LUSH 'The Christmas Penguin' Bubble bar

Hello PPB's

It's finally Monday , which for me is a day off! but I'm sure for most of you is a day of work so I hope this post makes your day a bit better :) 
Now if you have read PollyPocketbeauty for a while you will know how much I love Lush, I know how much most of you like Lush. You will also know how much I love Penguins, so when I saw that Lush had brought out a penguin bubble bar I HAD to get it! No questions I HAD to! haha, his so cute!!
He smells amazing too! I'm not sure what he is meant to smell like but to me he smells so fresh and 'clean' if something can smell clean!? I'm sure you all know how to use a bubble bar, if you don't it so simple, run your bath, while your bath is running, crumble it under the tap rubbing it with your fingers and it creates bubbles YAY! who doesn't like bubbles?!
You're left with bright blue water and lots and lots of fluffy bubbles :) This makes me very happy!
I think this bubble bar is officially my favourite product at lush! Smells good, Looks cute and creates bubbles and a perfect bubble bath! also it doesn't leave your bath a funny colour so you don't end up needing another bath after cleaning it from the bath you just had...Just me??

I give this Bubble Bar 5 stars!!

Whats in my Shower/Bath

I have seen this post go around YouTube and thought well why not do it in a blog post! :) I  have really enjoyed watching them, so let me know if you have done one video or blog post I would love to have a look :)
So whats in my shower...Well

Body
Who doesn't enjoy a good bubble bath?! I know I do and I really like the Johnsons Bath & wash, yes I know its meant for babies, but It really does leave my skin so soft, so I am not ashamed! :)
Moving across to the Molton Brown Body Wash, oh wow! thats all I can say! This was a free sample I got from a friend she had got 3 and was lovely enough to give me one, this stuff is amazing! the smell is so good! and lingers on the skin and it lathers up so well, which means this sample may last me a long time because a little really goes a long way! I really may have to go and get the full size....
Right at the bottom is a Boots Body scrup and this on is the coco butter one, honestly I'm really disappointed with this! It does smell good but I leaves a greasy feeling on the skin which really isnt nice, this is really only still in my shower because it needs to be used up! sad but true.
Moving up is the Soap and Glory Sugar Crush scrub..now this is a different story, I love this! The smell makes me want to eat it and the scrub is amazing and really does an amazing job exfoliating! Thsi is definitely my go to body scrub.
Okay I have just realised there are 3 scrubs in my shower! haha
So onto the Anatomical Don't just clean it women, scrub it Body scrub, I got this is a GlossyBox, I do like it, and I enjoy using it, but I don't think I will be going out to get the full size, its nice to use but I still find myself reaching for Soap and Glory.
Now right at the top again Soap and Glory but this time The clean on me Shower gel, Well yet again, love this! Smell is amazing and the lathers up amazing, I also love the pump on it, I just think this is so much easier in the shower, you don't have to struggle with a screw top when you have wet hands (who else does that annoy) you just pump and go! Amazing! :) Can you tell I love it!? haha

Hair
You all know how much I love Redken Extreme, My full post Here. I have only been using the Conditioner atm a) Because I have run out of the Shampoo and can't afford to get more yet and B) I am really loving my Lush Shampoo Bar! It's call 'NEW' Its been designed to help 'stimulate hair follicles and maximise growth.' I am going to do a full post on this after I have used it for a but longer, I really am hoping to see some results! First impressions I am impressed so far, Its got a very strong smell of Cinnamon, obviously because of the Cinnamon stick thats stuck on the top! haha But I was abit worried about using it because I didn't know if it would actually clean my hair, but I really did!! The only thing I find it that it makes it feel very dry so I have to use a conditioner otherwise I don't think I would be able to even get my tangle teaser through it!

So that's whats in my shower/Bath :) Do you use any of the same products?

I Tag all of you to do this but particularly;
 Sophie - Flirty Dresses
Ashley - JerseyGirl1216
Stacey - Beautiful-Solutions

Just a quick one before I leave, I'm sure your all aware by now about GFC, So Pretty please keep showing your support for my little blog and follow through Bloglovin, it really would mean so much! :) The link is over there >> :)

Lots of Love

Lush 'Roots' hair mask || Review

I have never tried any hair products from Lush I tend to go straight for the soap, bath bombs and bubble bars (I do love my baths) but I have been wanting to try a hair mask for some time. A side effect to my Arthritis is hair loss and my hair has been thinning really badly recently which has been making me really self-conscious :( bad times, so anyway lol I was looking for hair mask for thin hair to help me get some volume and life back into the mop on my head!
I was recommended this
All the ingredients in this are to help thicken, strengthen and condition fine hair; 

'Starting with three kinds of mint to stimulate the scalp and hair follicles, olive oil to give condition and strength, honey to soften and soothe and nettle absolute for shine.  We’ve topped this off with a delicate perfume containing sweet orange oil, neroli and grapefruit oil all known to be cheerful and uplifting.  Together these are the foundations to build great hair.' - Lush.co.uk
The consistency of this mask I was not expecting! its very thick and paste like, I found it quiet hard to spread through my hair, however the fact that you have to really massage it into the scalp also helps with the growth of hair, did you know here comes a useless fact your meant to massage your scalp about 2/3 times a day to make the blood go to your scalp and help with hair growth...Well you do now! haha.
The smell is very strong of mint, I honestly feel like I have covered my head in tooth paste haha, but its a very fresh smell, you know the feeling you get when you have just brushed your teeth and then breath in cold air, yeah that feeling but on my head...I quiet like it haha!
They suggest that you use the mask by spreading it all over your hair leaving it for 15-20 mins and then to wash it off with shampoo, however I decided to put it on, have a hot bath because the steam again helps the mask to work its magic and I sleep with it on over night and was my hair in the morning. After I  have washed my hair it feels amazing! so soft! With the thickening side of this mask whats its meant for...I think its a product you have to commit to, its not an over night miracle worker! but I have been using it for about a month now once a week and I am now starting to see a change, yes I still lose hair but no where near as much as I used to, my ponytail is fuller and when its down it looks thinker.

If your willing to stick to one hair mask for a while then I would say go for it! You get 225g in a tub and it costs £9.95 :)

Lots of Love
