Pamper Sesh
I love a good pamper sesh and when I get chance to have one, I pull out all the stops. Wine, candles, bath bombs, hair masks, face masks, nail polish and a good book!
I got this Golden Wonder bath bomb in a big box of Lush stuff from my sister at Christmas and I couldn't wait to use it. I'd seen the magic in a shop one Saturday, when I was lingering behind someone who had asked for a demonstration of this wonderful creation, the lush lady got her silver bowl of water out and chucked it in and there was gold and blue and pink and tiny little stars! (I added some of my Soap and Glory foam call for some extra bubbles too!)
It smelt amazing, and left my skin feeling really soft. Obviously the Golden Wonder is part of the Christmas range so if you're lucky you may get one in the sale but otherwise below are 3 of the best lush bath products!... (in my opinion!)
It smells like blackberries, it makes pink bubbles and can be used in at least 4 different baths, so deffo worth the price!)
A bit pricey but it smells beautiful!
This is a bath melt so there are no bubbles but it might just be the best smell ever!
What's your fave lush product?
Do you love a bit of a pamper sesh too?

Anna Lou of London
Hello, Hope you're well!
You may have seen a while back I posted this photo on Instagram... (xgeorgia)
I couldn't contain my excitement but I also didn't want to reveal what was inside the box... until now! But wait for it, (unless you've scrolled down already) first let me start from the beginning.
I was lucky enough to meet the lovely Anna at the Handpicked Media London Fashion Week Suite and have her show me through her gorgeous collection of jewellery!
Everything is beautifully made using Sterling Silver, 18kt Rose Gold and 18kt gold plated Sterling Silver. She offers a wide variety of jewellery to suit everyone, whether you like dainty embellishment or full on statement pieces. Do go and have a little look through her website here and if you decide to buy anything for yourself or as the perfect Christmas gift, don't forget to use my discount code: Georgiabeee10 for 10% off!
Anna also very kindly made me a bespoke name necklace in rose gold which I can honestly say, I've worn every day since it arrived! I absolutely love it and would highly recommend her jewellery! :)
Isn't it beautiful! I've also put together a little collection of my Top 6 favourite items from Anna Lou of London for you, just in case you weren't tempted enough!
I've listed all of the Anna Lou of London links below along with the amazing blog if you've got the bespoke jewellery bug after this and fancied a little read! I very much enjoyed Anna's guide to layering necklaces which you can read here.

Review | Accessorize Lovely Day Palette
Hello!
I have a review for you today :) I bought this a while ago and have been meaning to review it for ages and I thought this would be a good time because it would be such a lovely Christmas present for someone who enjoys experimenting with makeup, and it's not too pricey either!
I bought it from Superdrug for £8 but it's not on the website so the link below is to the accessorize website where it's £9.
It consists of 32 eyeshadows and comes in really nicely packaged case with a little elasticated fastening to stop the top from flapping open (something I wish my Stila palette had!) Accessorize describe it as a mixture of cool, warm, bright and nude colour which is definitely what it is! There is such a variety which I love because I find myself only ever buying nude colours so it's nice to have some different ones to choose from if I'm feeling adventurous!
The eyeshadows themselves are really nice, they are very creamy and they last all day without creasing (with eyelid primer!) The shimmery colours are a lot more pigmented than the matte shades but they are all very good quality for the price.
I really love the rose gold shimmery colour on the far right, second from bottom. (it would also be great if they had names!) it's definitely my favourite but I also love all the purple and greeny shades as both of these colours suit hazel eyes. :) I haven't yet used the blues or pinks but think these would look great on blue or green eyes.
Thanks for reading :)

Review | Benefit skincare set
Hello!
How are you all?
Hope everyone's getting excited for Christmas! Have you finished your shopping yet? I only have a few more bits to get now!
If you are still pondering on gift ideas and need some help, continue reading as I think that this little set would be a great present for someone who loves trying new skincare and it is very affordable too!
I ordered this from Feel unique for just £10!
It includes a mini facial polish, facial wash, toning lotion, facial emulsion, facial cream and eye cream. Let me start by saying what I first noticed myself, the whole range smells amazing! I'm rubbish at describing scents but its fresh and clean like the way a salon smells! And it's quite strong so if you prefer unscented skincare then you may want to avoid this set.
The packaging is lovely, as usual with benefit products and you get a little leaflet explaining what each product does in with the set. Overall I really liked it and I'm glad I bought it because even though I wasn't overly keen on the whole set, I discovered I actually really love a few of the bits so the £10 was worth it!
Toning lotion
This was one of my favourite products in the whole set and I'll definitely be repurchasing it again. It's a gel consistency and it's so lovely and fresh on the skin, and it leaves it really soft and moisturised. I have quite dry skin so this was nice for me but if you have oily skin you may not like this feeling as much.
Facial Polish
This was nice but I don't think I'd repurchase it. It's a nice exfoliant and smells lovely like the rest of the set but it's no different really from any other face scrub I've used and the full size costs £17.50 so I wouldn't say it's worth that, for my skin anyway.
Facial Wash
Again this was nice but not really much different from any other less expensive one so I wouldn't buy the full size.
Facial Cream
This is my favourite product in the whole set, and it may possibly be the best moisturizer I've ever tried! It's so thick and creamy (which is great if you have dry skin like me, but I'm not sure if oily skin would suit it) and soaks into the skin really well to prepare it for makeup. It smells amazing and the scent lingers for a while which is nice, you only need the tiniest bit for your whole face so even though £26.50 for the full size is quite a lot, I think it would last a long time and the quality is definitely worth the price.
Facial emulsion
This is also a moisturizer targeted at oily or combination skin as it's oil free, it was lovely and light, but not really enough for my skin.
Eye Cream
This is a really nice product and it made my eyes a little bit less dark when I'd been using it for a week or so, but I have quite sensitive eyes so it did sting them a bit. I probably wouldn't buy this again because of this but the effects are noticeable, and it's a very good product.
So that's all for the review of this little set, I'm very glad I bought it and got to try all the products and find which ones suited my skin! I also think it would make such a cute little present that would appear to be far more expensive than it actually is!
Thanks for reading!
Have you tried any of these products?
What did they do for your skin?
