Lush Leicester Summer Sneak Peek

Last week I had a nice little group of blog events all right here in Leicester. It’s rare to have even a single event here, so to have a bunch all together like this and not have to travel anywhere to get to them made for such a lovely week. Thursday was the Lush Summer Sneak Peek, a preview evening celebrating the launch of their latest ranges, we got to check them all out and splurge our cash on the pre-release products before they went on sale to the public.

I headed down to the store to meet up with our small gang of local bloggers – Nancy, Hollie, Kirstie, Steph, Laura & Emma. I’d met some of the girls before at other events and the others when we recently organised a bit of a meet up – if you’re a local blogger too go join our group as we’re hoping to make the meet ups a regular thing. It’s so nice to finally know some other bloggers here, I’ve become good friends with people from all over the country through blogging but I’d never really met any other bloggers from my home town, I was beginning to think it was just me!

I grabbed one of the delicious vegan cupcakes as soon as I arrived and was immediately drawn over to the super bright display of new bath products. I must admit, I’m more of a shower girl really and I never feel like I have the time to have a real soak in the bath, so when I do it’s nice to make it a little more luxurious and the new Intergalactic bath bomb and Sunnyside & Karma bubble bars had my name all over them. Their skincare is my favourite thing though and I could easily have spent a fortune picking up new cleansers and masks, but I behaved and just picked up the Cup O’ Coffee mask, clay based masks are my favourite for my combination skin and I couldn’t say no to that smell!

We also had a little workshop upstairs where we could make our own The Comforter bar or Butterball bomb, it was really fun to get hands on and be able to take home something you’d made yourself. I made myself a Butterball after hearing such great things about it from the other girls. I guess because it’s quite plain looking I’d never picked it up or tried it before, but after trying it for myself I have to agree, it’s really wonderful and leaves your skin amazingly soft.

We all had such a nice time and left with the most generous goodie bags, I seriously had to resist the urge to jump into the bath and try everything out all at once as soon as I got home! I’ll be doing a little review on some new favourites I’ve discovered soon. Thanks again to the girls at Lush for the invite and for organising a really lovely evening!

I’m desperately hoping that this gloomy weather isn’t the start of the end of our summer, it seems like we had a week or two of blazing sunshine and now already it’s starting to get miserable again! The past week has been constant rain, hence the lack of new outfit posts, and it looks like next week is going to be pretty similar. I keep saying I’d like to move somewhere where the weather is a bit nicer, or at least more predictable and less rainy but I think in stereotypical Brit fashion I’d secretly miss being able to moan about it!

I mentioned indie jewellery boutique A Weathered Penny in my last post, I’ve been wearing at least one piece from their brass ring set constantly these past few weeks, and I think this arrow one is my favourite, it’s generously adjustable so it can be worn as a normal ring or a midi ring too. The beautiful geometric necklace is also from , I love pieces like this that are simple yet unique enough to get people asking where it’s from. You can still get 20% off the entire store with the code FAIIINT too – but hurry!

I found this old AllSaints dress at the back of my wardrobe a few weeks ago and it set me off on a bit of an eBay spree buying up loads of their other dresses from around this time. Well, I say this is a dress, I don’t know if it’s just me getting old but I would never dare wear it out of the house without a little skirt on underneath now, it’s so short! I ended up getting quite a few that I remember wanting and not being able to afford at the time for about £10 each, so I’m excited from them all to arrive now.

It’s also your last day to order a Slash dress from my store and take advantage of the 10% off + free worldwide shipping offer with the code ‘SLASH10‘!
