Lush: Heebie Jeebies

When I was in Lush I couldn't resist picking up these Halloween Heebie Jeebies! They're pretty cute, but they also each contain two Halloween themed treats!

The Pumpkin Heebie Jeebie is definitely for the bath lover. It contains the extremely glittery Sparkly Pumpkin Bubble Bar (literally my entire bathroom is covered in glitter just from taking it out the packaging!) and the Lord of Misrule Bath Bomb.  The Sparkly Pumpkin smells sweet with scents of grapefruit, juniper berries and lime. The Lord of Misrule bath bomb is in a league of its own! I was shown a demo in my local Lush shop and was immediately sold. When you put it in the water you'll feel as if your bath has transformed into a cauldron as it changes colour from green, to pink, to purple and finally leaves your bathwater a dark blood red colour!
The Bat Heebie Jeebie is definitely for someone who prefers a shower over a bath. In it you'll find a Lord of Misrule Shower Scream which has the same scent as the bath bomb, peppercorn, black pepper, patchouli and vanilla. The second product is the Nightwing Shower Jelly which contains aloe vera, carrengeenan and lime oil. It's in the shape of a bat, smells just like fruit pastille sweets and you can use it on your body or your hair! 

I haven't used all of the products yet, but the ones I have I've loved. The Sparkly Pumpkin and Nightwing are quite messy to hold, but wash off nicely so don't worry! Each of these limited edition Heebie Jeebies were just under £10 each and can double up as cute halloween decorations once you've emptied them.

The Autumn Tag

I saw that Hayley from Bows and Buttons had posted this 'tag' and thought I'd give it a go. I'm loving Autumn (as is everyone apparently!) so this seemed like a nice way to round up my favourite things about the season. 


1. Ok we're talking coffees - what's your favourite seasonal drink from Starbucks/Costa/Cafe Nero etc? 
I don't buy from any of these places if i can help it. I prefer independent cafes, but I'm really not a coffee drinker at all! I only drink decaf black coffee and that is on rare occasion! I love warm drinks though, especially in the colder months. I usually like a herbal tea like chamomile, mint or lemon. I've been enjoying a more fruity tea every now and then recently though. Anything like blackberry/cranberry :)

2. Accessories - what do you opt for, scarf, boots, gloves?
Firstly gloves. I need them to survive as my hands get super cold and numb when I'm outside. I live in boots all through the autumn and winter though and I'd much rather spend my money on a good pair of boots to any other kind of shoe. I'm only recently just getting into scarves. I used to hate them and find them itchy and irritating but now i love an oversized scarf!

3. Music - what's your favourite music to listen to during Autumn?
I like calm music that I can listen to while walking in the park or just milling about in the shops. Autumn is beautiful and I like to spend a lot of time outside admiring the colours, so anything calming and chilled. This week I've been listening to Box Of Light and Misty Miller a lot. 

4. Perfume - what's your favourite scent for this time of year?
 I'm not massively into perfumes and I prefer to save them for special occasions than to use every day. I'm yet to find my Autumn scent, but I proper love the Karma perfume at Lush and I had a good sniff of the Modern Muse La Rouge perfume. They're both way out of my current budget however, so let's hope Santa treats me this Christmas..

5. Candles - what scents will you be burning this season?
Oh gosh, anything with apple and cinnamon mmmmm! I bought some yankees the other day and I cant wait to burn them. One of them is in my favourite flavour Black Cherry, which i think is great for Autumn! I also like to use incense sticks too :)

6. What do you love most about Autumn?
Really, what's not to love? Besides the fact that my birthday is in the Autumn, you also get to enjoy halloween, bon fire night, pumpkins, wrapping up warm, crispy leaves, soup! Basically all of it! If I had to pick one thing though it would be the colours that come with the season.

7. Favourite makeup look?
I like to keep is basic with a dark burgundy or berry lip, cat eyes and a subtle rosy blush. I'm hoping to get a bit more adventurous with some eye shadow this year though!

8. What are you looking forward to most in Autumn?
I'm looking forward to carving pumpkins with Noah and decorating our home all halloween-y. Hopefully we'll be hosting a little party and I might be taking part in a zombie walk?! I absolutely love dressing up (as you might have guessed from my b-day party theme) so that will definitely be happening on 31st either way!
