What I bought - Lush valentines edition

Hi lovelies,

Valentines day is almost here and what better way to celebrate than to visit Lush and take a look at their Valentines collection. Baths are a great way to relax and Lush bathstuff is amazing. From bathboms to bubblebars, your bath will never be boring again. Considering it's Valentines day, whether you take your bath alone or not is up to you. 

 Products 

- Love locket bath bomb - 10,75€

- Unicorn horn bubble bar - Sold in the 'in your dreams' giftbox for 13,95€

- Big shampoo sample - free

- Heart throb bubbleroon - 5,95€

- Sakura bath balistic - 4,95€

- I love juicy shampoo sample - free

- Granny takes a dip bath bomb - Sold in the 'in your dreams' giftbox

These are the items I bought from the limited edition Valentines collection. The love locket is pretty big and can be used in 3 times by breaking it in half and use both sides and the tiny heart inside separately. Of course it's up to you in how many pieces you break your bath bomb considering it's pretty pricey. But for this one just throw your piece in your filled bath and enjoy. The red smaller heart is the bubbleroon. It consists of 2 halves held together with gold glitter which makes it easy to use twice. Last but not least, the unicorn horn, this was sold out everywhere but I managed to get my hands on one by picking up the 'in your dreams' gift box which consists of the unicorn horn and granny takes a dip bathbomb.  

Ah the extra purchases I couldn't leave behind even though I swore to only buy valentines stuff. My shopaholic side took over and bought more than I was supposed to. In fact I bought so much I got free samples. I chose the Big shampoo and the I love juicy shampoo, I also got a prince charming sample but I gave that one away to my sister in law. Shop with 3 people, get 3 samples, I never expected to each get a sample. Onto the other products, I got the Granny takes a dip bathbomb in the same giftset. I'm hoping all the circles will make my bath go colourful. The last thing is the Sakura bath ballistic. It has dots everywhere, so cute. It's supposed to make you a bit sleepy so great to use before bed.

Of course I'll be sharing all of this stuff with Anais, little valentines gift from us to us.

I hope you liked this article.

Goodbyeeee

Princess Marshmellow has a new home

Hi lovelies,

How are you doing? Today I'll my showing Marshies new little Queendom. I've had a circus hamstercage for the past few years but after a few cagetours on YouTube, I've realised that it's actually pretty small even though it's supposed to big enough if you believe the info you find everywhere. But think about it if you're going to be caged and can't leave... you should at least be in a big space so you can move somewhat freely. I just wanted for her to have a satisfying and fun life. I don't want her to be miserable in a small space. So I went to Ikea and made my own hamstercage. 

 I purchased the Samla box which is 78 cm long, 43cm wide and 56 cm high. It's a lot bigger than the previous one and cost me only 14.99. It comes with a lid but do remember to cut out quite a big piece out of the lid and place some kind of wire in it because when you close it it creates a vacuum and your hamster will probably die and you obviously don't want that. You'll also need to bring in some fresh air because it would get smelly otherwise. The only other problem with a cage that hasn't got bars is that you can't place a bottle of water. I tried everything from Velcro to duct tape, it just doesn't work so I made 3 little holes to place the bottle through and to secure it and that works wonderfully.

 I've decorated it with 2 coconut halves as little hideouts, a hideout house from the previous cage, toiletrolls and 'treerolls' and a ladder to crawl through or on. She has 3 wooden bridges who also work as hideout places to possibly make a nest in. She also has another treethingie but it has food on and in it which is a nice addition to her regular food in the red bowl. Last but not least a finally fully working waterbottle, a silent spinner wheel that is not as silent as I hoped it would be and a flying saucer to run on but she hasn't fully grasped the concept yet, she just sits on it.

 As nesting material I go for the standard wood shavings on the bottom, cotton bedding in the nesting places and corners because it absorbs well and edible hay which she also used for her nest. I also throw in some toiletpaper because she likes to play with it and tear it apart for her nest.

She seems to like her new cage a lot but there are still some changes to be made. I need to find a way to install a platform so she can climb because she loves that.

Hamster for comparison, ghii

What's on my face #22 - Brown smoky eyes

Hi lovelies,

After the quite pictureheavy Get-Ready-With-Me post I'm staying on the make-up front and planned this What's-On-My-Face post for you. Keep scrolling I hope you like it.

Let's see I didn't wear any face make-up, just eyes and lips. For my eyes I used Matt Garcia from the Meet Matt Nude palette from the Balm on the entire lid. Matt Wood on the outer half of the eyes and in the outer corner I used the black shadow out of the Undress Me Too palette from MUA. I applied the same Matt Wood shade as an eyeliner around the entire eye and topped things off with the Organic Wear mascara from Physians Formula. For the lips I outlined and filled them in with the Catrice lipliner in That's What Rose Wood Do! and went over it with the Hey Nude! lipstick from Catrice.

I also added a picture on my instagram. Do feel free to follow me on @mysprinklesoflove.

Goodbyeeee
