Sea Peaches

Bonjour! I've been meaning to do a review on these little lovelies for a few weeks, but I've only just got round to it (if I'm honest, I've only just remembered!). So as always I popped into Lush with my sister just to have a look around, but you know how it is, you just can't say no! Luckily I didn't spend as much money as I usually do

I picked up the Seanik solid shampoo which I've been wanting to buy for quite some time. It always looked like something I'd enjoy whenever I was in my local Lush shop buying everything else. Especially with all that lovely slag and seaweed.

It smells like their Sea Vegetable soap and the Big Blue bath bomb, which we all know are my favourites! This shampoo is for getting some volume and life back into your hair, so it's kind of like a solid version of Big but with seaweed. There are 2 different types of seaweed used in this shampoo; Irish moss, which is a red seaweed, and Japanese nori (which is the stuff you get on the outside of your sushi rolls). These are really rich in protein and make your hair all beautiful and soft. Lush have also put lemon oil into it which gives you super shiny locks, and of course the sea salt for lots and lots of volume! I haven't got round to using this yet but I'm pretty excited to.

I also bought the Each Peach massage bar. I hadn't tried any of them before so it seemed like a good place to start.

It does smell quite peachy although I think it smells more like sherbet lemons, and I do love a good sherbet lemon or 2, or 10...

However, it doesn't actually contain any lemons. It has lime and grapefruit oils which contain lemonene. Lemonene is a colourless liquid which occours in certain essential oils and has a lemon-like odour. It also contains shea butter and cocoa butter which leave you feeling really soft as well as fresh. There may be a slight problem though... Once you put it on it can make you feel a little greasy because of all the oils it holds. That's why I like to use mine at the end of the day when I'm just sitting down and posting on here or editing videos, it somehow makes me forget that I'm a little bit greasy and sticky. Nevertheless, I really like this product, when you use it it releases all the amazing fragrances and makes the whole room smell sweet!

Carrying on to the non-Lush related items (it's a rare sight), I picked up some Barry M Nail Paints.

(Left-right: Barry M Nail Paint in Black, Barry M Confetti Nail Paint in Liquorice, Barry M Confetti Nail Paint in Bubblegum)

The first is the Barry M Nail Paint in Black. I was looking for the Gelly Nail Paint by Barry M but they didn't seem to have it in black, so I thought I'd give this a try anyway. I can't say I'm a massive fan of though. I needed at least 3 coats because it's so thin and I like my nail varnishes to be thick, hence why I was looking for the Gelly Nail Paint. It seemed to chip really quickly and easily as well, so I think I'll stick with the Gelly from now on.

The other two are the Barry M Confetti Nail Paints in Liqourice and Bubblegum. I love these! They work really well as a top coat and on their own. I like to layer the two on top of each other.

I think I have a picture somewhere...

So I nicked it from my instagram but you can kind of see what's going on. 

So I think I'll leave the regular Nail Paint from now on, but I have seen that Barry M are doing matte nail varnish now so I might give that a cheeky go.
