My Blogging Story, How it all began | Amberose

Todays post is gonna be a short one, I thought maybe you would like to see how I started my blog, what inspired me to do it and how I have got on. I hope you all enjoy it.
I started my blog in 2014 and here's how. It wasn't one of those eureka moments where I suddenly think 'I'll start a blog'. I first opened a small business on a website, I did enjoy what I did. I sold clothes and shoes and got a bit of money out of it, but I thought maybe a blog might help me get my passion of fashion and beauty across more effectively and productively. I mean sitting waiting for things to sell isn't that productive is it? That's when Amberose was born, you see that's a nickname I got when I was younger and when i was thinking for a blog name that's when it came into mind! I have now been blogging regularly and I am really enjoying it. I just get a sense of satisfaction knowing that someone out there read my blog (and maybe liked it).
I hope to meet loads of new people who are just as fond as beauty and fashion as me and I hope to be welcomed into the community. 
Thank you for making this possible and helping me grow an expand blog.
If you're a blogger, send me your story I would love to hear them. My email link is the little envelope at the top, click, write and send.
Signing off,

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
