What's in my school bag?

 This is a small post, just telling you whats in my school bag. I will link where you can buy all the things in my bag and give mini reviews on each item (links will open in a new tab). Enjoy. 

Bag:

I'm starting a new school, so it makes sense to get a new bag. Mine is from John Lewis and was made by a company called Fiorelli. It may seem compact but in fact has three separate compartments in the middle section, a zip at the front for small things and a separate section in the main compartment.

Notebook:
Now I won't be able to give you a link to my notebook, but if you live in Australia you will be able to purchase this one. This item I got on my travels to the Sydney Opera House. It's light, compact and came with a matching pen (what's not to like)! It's made out of recycled materials and has ruled pages.

Pencil Case:
I bought my pencil case a while back in January form Paperchase. It has 3 sections inside and has lots of cute foodie bits and bobs on it. It also has like a laminated outer 'shell' so it doesn't get dirty easily. I didn't buy another pencil case because this one has lasted ages and is still in great condition. I looked on the Paperchase website but wasn't able to find the same one but instead I linked the 'Pencil Case' area just in case you wanted to check them out.

Lunch Box:
This lunch box is from Urban Outfitters. I didn't have a lunch box, and I truly did need one. I though this would be perfect for small snacks like fruit or chocolate (oops)! This also grabbed my attention because of the eye catching colours. Also under the contrasting strap to secure the lid it says 'hands off,' which I thought was super cute and funky.

Diary:
I was browsing the John Lewis website, when I saw this bright, colourful diary and instantly checked it out. It is perfect. It's an academic one so fits in all my school suff. Has handy pockets after each term to store your loose papers and also has an elastic string to secure it.

Coloured Bits:
When studying for exams, I use colour ALOT. I find it helps section each thing and later on it helps me revise near exam time so these are a must in my bag. I got my colours from Wilkinsons.

Vanilla Wipes:
I picked these wipes up at the till. They were cheap and cheerful so i thought 'why not?' A bit of the spur of the moment buy really. I haven't tried them out yet but I think after every lunch it would be nice to freshen up and school/college can be a very dirty place.

My Lush Review

My Lush Story:

I've only just recently convinced myself to go into Lush, I was reluctant at first. The strong smell that hits you when you entered into the shop appealed to some, but definitely not me and I thought it was a bit overpriced at first glance, but when I soon ventured in... I loved it! The variety of bath bombs, soaps, face masks, gift sets... was amazing. I was spoilt for choice, like a girl in a sweet shop I wanted EVERYTHING. Seeing as it was only my second time buying from Lush, I restricted myself to one item and succeeded. I chose a soap as I once did get a present from Lush, two bath bombs and I didn't like the texture of them, that experience may have hindered me even more from going into Lush.

My Lush Review:

After looking at every product in the store I chose a soap called Sea Vegetable. The name does not do it justice at all. This turquoise coloured beauty leaves a distinct and luscious fragrance on your body that lasts for a couple of hours. The washing of the soap itself I found a bit disappointing, I felt like I had really rub the soap into my body before it actually left a scent. The top of the soap acts like an exfoliator on my skin and the crystals on top dissolve nicely in water. The appearance of the soap I find is what bought my attention to this soap, with its bright ocean blue lower half with a contrasting top is appealing to the eye and draws you in. It also leaves my skin feeling super smooth after a  wash and lasts for one hundred washes (according to the lady in the store)!

Overall:

Scent: 5/5

Washing: 3/5

Lasts: 4/5 (can't be 100% sure)

Appearance: 5/5

Skin: 5/5

I hope you enjoyed my review, if you want to see more let me know. Don't forget to follow if you enjoyed! Share if you liked it.
