what I got for christmas 2013! (lots of lush and soap and glory goodies)

hello again! 

I saw a few people doing 'what I got for Christmas' posts and I love reading them, so I thought i'd do one myself! ((this is in no way meant to brag, I just know people who follow me have the same kind of interests so might find this fun to read, that's all)) 

the main thing I got for Christmas was a new DSLR camera from my mum, so the photos were taken with that! with that in mind, without further ado.. 

as you probably know if you read my posts, i'm a maaaaaaaasive fan of smelly stuff, be in the body shop, lush, soap and glory.. you name it, i've likely bought it ((and in bulk- seriously when I go into these places I usually spend like 50 pounds or nothing at all, whoops)) 

for the people who aren't familiar with Christmas Lush products..

Snow Fairy is their best selling product at Christmas and is a yummy shower gel which is supposed to smell like pear drops/a sweet shop, but to me smells like vanilla and candy floss, but all smells super super sweet and literally the smell actually stays on you for ages which is rare 

Rose Jam is another shower gel which is supposed to apparently smell like vanilla and rose, but the only scent I picked up from this was a fruity angel delight type smell, but it's my favourite Christmas product they sell because it's literally divine 

the three bath bombs along the bottom are all Christmas ones too, but i've only ever tried the Luxury Lush Pud one in the middle! this is a close second to Rose Jam..when you pop this in the water it literally straight away goes bright purple and your water looks COMPLETELY like ribena within seconds, it's crazy! (I did a video on my instagram of it actually if you just click here!) as for the orangey one (Cinders Ballistic), this smells a little funky to me (slightly overpowering cinnamon smell) but has popping candy in it so i'm excited to try it! and the lil' (Snowman Ballistic) is a nice simplistic vanilla scented thing which can be broken in half and used in two separate baths which is a plus! 

the little pink fairy is the Snow Fairy Sparkle Bar which has the same smell as the snow fairy shower gel! it's super rich in shea butter so literally even holding it in your hands for 10 seconds melts it a bit and makes your hands super soft! also a plus- the closer you get the middle, the more glitter comes out (that's right, it's a pink glitter filled yummy scented smooth fairy, literally so badass) 

ok, the Magic Wand! if you like snow fairy or the sparkle bar, I guarantee you'll like this! just wiggle the wand around in your bath for a bit and you'll have some lovely pink bubbles that smell like a sweet shop in no time 

lastly, the wonderful Candy Mountain bubble bar (the pink and white sparkling masterpiece at the top)! ugh, I love this one so bad! whilst it does nothing for your skin in way of moisturising or anything, it turns your bath a crazy pink and makes it sparkly, all whilst smelling like candy floss..(I did a proper review of this one if you click here!) 

(I know I missed a few out, but I realised how much I was writing so decided to only write about the Christmas ones! if you wanted a review of the others just let me know!) 

OK so next up is a bunch of soap and glory stuff! I was lucky enough for my grandparents to buy me The Yule Monty (a big bag of some of soap and glory's best sellers basically), so I took them all out of the bag to show you them all individually! 

i've tried about half of these so far and love them all! 

thick and fast mascara is super good for a false lash look, but definitley not for your bottom lashes! as the name suggests, this is a big brush and is pretty difficult to move around your lower lash line, but does wonders to the top! 

sugar crush body wash is literally smell heaven, it smells so so so so strongly of lime and lemons and just makes you smell so damn clean, it's wonderful! 

hand food is exactly what it says (sort of), and is just a nice small hand moisturiser to carry around in your bag, and doesn't leave you feeling at all greasy which is a rarity! 

that's all i'm going to say about these as i'm gonna do a proper review of them all properly soon! 

so yeah, that's what I was lucky enough to be given this year! 

what did you get this year? do you have any lush/soap and glory favourites?
