Models Own, Speckled Egg Collection



Hello!
So today I'm going to be giving a short review for the Models Own speckled egg collection (As you already know by the title).
Since it was such a lovely day, I decided to grab my camera and shoot some photo's outside. With the help of Lily of course:


Nail paint is probably one of the things I obsess over (makeup wise) and I have always been in between with Models Own brand because It's like they will bring out new collections, and some of them I'll really like, but a lot of the time I'll try some out and I'm not really keen. They do have some interesting collections, like the fruit pastel collection (I'm still yet to try!) which sound absolutely amazing! But by far my favourite collection has to be speckled egg.
I first bought the goose colour (the yellow one) and I was so excited to try it!
When I painted my nails they just looked so cute and my nails were transformed into some mother gooses little babies. I went straight back out and bought the whole collection!
The colours remind me a lot of spring and those little chocolate eggs you get for Easter. The paint goes on very easily, I only have to use about two coats, but probably the only downside to this collection is removing it!
Because it has tiny and big bits of glitter to give the speckled affect, that when it comes to taking it off all the glitter sticks to your nails. Once you get all the paint off you're just left loads of glitter that I usually have to soak my nails in nail varnish remover, then still I have to scratch the remaining bits off. It's a little bit of annoyance, but I am still really adore this collection!

What are your favourite nail paint collections?

Phoenix Rising Bath Bomb Review


Hello!
So today I'm going to another Lush bath bomb review.
Today's is going to be Phoenix Rising:


This bath bomb, as you can see, is a beautiful shimmering purple and gold colour. It contains Cinnamon, Shea butter Jojoba oil and Beaumont oil. This bath bomb is supposed to relax and soften your skin, leaving you refreshed! 
It has a rich scent of Cinnamon, which always reminds me of Christmas.
When I first dropped this into my bath it took a second for to to start bubbling away, but once it did it started to give of a sweet purple colour. The scent of Cinnamon started to be given off and little pieces broke away. 
Once the bath bomb began to dissolve fully, a green started to mix in with the purple and it created a stunning midnight purple colour. I also started to notice that glitter was pouring in too.


I would say this bath bomb is a really good relaxing agent! Bathing in it is very relaxing and the smell of Cinnamon soaks into your skin. All the oils are so good for leaving your skin soft and pampered. If your are all about scents and smells I would recommend that you buy this. 
It's a great luxury and I am definitely buying this again! Adding bath salts with this would be a great combination to relax with, or even adding the bath bomb Butterball.
It's always great to experiment with Lush products - especially bath bombs!

Do any of you mix bath bombs together? If so, which ones work the best together?
