// The ultimate relax and pamper evening…//

With all these freezing cold days at the moment in the uk.. i have just been craving a hot bath and pamper evening.. putting on some music, or watching net flicks on my IPAD, lighting scented candles.. and using gorgeous smelling bath bombs.
Although i do love popular high street brands (LUSH of course), i came across a new brand of homemade gorgeous luxuriant cosmetics…  SOAPARAMA.. and i can definitely recommend them.. they are made with all natural ingredients.. and are vegan just like LUSH products.. also they are so affordable.. yet still fabulous quality..and beautiful packaging. 

so what did i try out???… over the last couple of weeks i have having super relaxing baths, indulging in 'me time'.. 


Firstly i used the creamy vanilla bath fizz.. this super creaming and sweet smelling fizz is so dreamy.. if you follow my instagram your know i love, love, love the a vanilla scent.. but for those who don't, don't worry its not in the slightly bit over powering..  it turns the water all milky and also has pink himalayan salts in which 1) look so pretty but more importantly 2) they detox the body and help the muscles and mind to relax…
The bath fizz is also super moisturising due to having almond oil in them.. 
mine was also in a cute snowman shape.. and they are priced at £3.60..






There are also rose bath fizzes.. which are equally as fabulous they have little flakes of dried rose petal with is a lovely touch as it turns your bath in to a real spa experience.. and smells divine.. in the bag i received there were  5 fizzes, yet you only need 1 per bath.. some for £3.60 a bag its definitely good value.. to see all the different bath fizz flavours click here

I also got the grapefruit & ylang ylang aromatherapy candle.. which has a lovely fresh smell, it is perfect to burn in the bathroom or i have also popped in the kitchen which is lovely as it fills the house with lovely fresh citrous tones..

all the candles are made from soy wax, rather that the cheap alternative  petroleum wax.. so no nasty chemicals.. this also means that it will burn for 25-30 hours.. all for £3.50 for all the candles click here




Another product i loved was the porridge delight soap scrub.. its super moisturising and contains rolled oats and shea butter.. which contain vitamin A and E … 
the soap is a gentle exfloiant and my skin was left feeling lovely and soft afterwards.. 

Lastly and my personal favourite.. was the bumble bee kiss.. this is the most sweet honey smelling creamy soap going BETTER than honey i wash the kids from LUSH, its a pleasure to use and your skin smells so so lovely after, i use it in the shower instead of shower gel..  for all the soaps click here







Hope that was helpful guys and make sure to check out the Soaparama website HERE they are a family run company and lovely to deal with..   


 Love Lauren Bea

his gift to the nail varnish world




"Like a presious stone enclosed in a block of fine crystal, the nail colour bottle offers an ombre effect unique to the signature  'Rouge Louboutin'
The flash of red and Stiletto esquecap evoke the image of the classic Christian Louboutin high heels, inspired by the hight of Louboutin's highest ever, the 'Ballerina Ultima'… design in 2007"
Now that is what Christian Louboutin has to say about his iconic nail varnish, but now it is my turn…

So wandering through the wonders of the shoe department in Selfridges London, when i finally found the object of the expedition… the Louboutin concession… filled with red soled shoes and sleek high heels; with a display of the new collection of nail varnishes created by the designer.

There are 4 ranges of colours, pops, nudes, noirs and then the one rouge which is the one i purchased… and for £36.00  I was eager to try in out is see whether it was worth the hype.


Louboutins claim is that just TWO COATS… is worth 20 COATS of a regular nail polish because it is so glossy and pigmented… now I'm not sure about is.. it is beautiful, and it does glide on like a dream, the brush applicator has even been patented.. its a fabulous pointed tip, on coat one the varnish covers the whole nail so nicely, and the second coat just seals the deal, the finish is sublime, no bubbles, lumps of sticky thickness, but was it equivalent it 20 coats???? no.. its a lovely good quality nail polish and its really glossy…

What I would say is that it is a great present to buy someone who would appreciate it.. but not sure i will be buying the whole collection.. as sadly it only lasted 2 days on me without chipping…


I hope that helps anyone who was wondering..

The Beach Cafe [Flash Tattoos]




Flash Tattoos 



I was very excited to receive these amazing Flash Tattoos from the BeachCafe, An amazing company based online, they  have everything you need to complete your holiday wardrobe if your jetting off for some winter sun, or for next summer! 


Beach Cafe stocks a stunnnnnning range of on-trend designer swimwear with some of the hottest brands, yet affordable. Beach Cafe has the widest selection of beachwear in the UK taking the stress out of pre holiday shopping. 


Currently they are also offering 10% off your first order!!

They have everything you need to look chic on the beach, from bikinis and swimsuits, to kaftans and accessorises.

I tried the 'lena' pack, which i loved.. me and my husband lewis had so much fun applying them..its not a must to have someone to help but it does make it easier.. 



They have a few different packs of the much famed "FlASHTATTOOS"… if they are good enough for Beyonce then they are good enough for me! other packs included Zahra, Josephine, Sophia, Chloe, Goldfish kiss, Goldfish kiss H20, with different themes to each pack.

They are definitely, going to be this seasons party essential to add a little glammer, perfect for all the upcoming parties!

The directions are easy to follow and on the back of the pack… simply choose the designs you want, cut them out and get tattooing!

The pack says they last for around 4-6 days although the tattoos placed on the neck to be honest i would say lasted slightly less.. i think thats due to the area having thin amount of skin, and the skin is often pulled.  

The removal of the tattoos are very easy and come off by either, scrubbing off in the shower or bath, or by using something like a baby oil with a cotton pad and use circular motions until they come off.

The prices range from £29.00 to £35.00 and you get 4 sheets a pack and they would last for a while as you would never need to use even 1 sheet per time! So definitely good value for money!






Be sure to have a look at their website here to see the range of the Flash Tattoos!
 and their instagram @beachcafeuk  


see you next time!

About me



Hey everyone! 

My name is Lauren Bea...and I'm a new blogger on the block, I live just outside London and I'm going to be 21 next month! 

I decided awhile ago that I wanted to do a beauty, fashion and lifestyle blog, makeup and clothes have always been a subject that I'm obsessed with, and when it comes to spending money on them, I'm a expert! 

I have just got married to my wonderful husband and moved house so I am enjoying decorating and buying lovely things to put into our home! 


I am a complete magpie so if there is anything that is sparkly and glistens I'm drawn to it, whether it's makeup, clothes, accessories or home decor. 



I really hope you enjoy reading my findings.

I don't claim to be an expert but just a blonde that loves beauty and fashion.


And if you ever have any questions be sure to email me.
