New Lush store in Manchester Arndale VIP Event!

Posted in Events by kiranalix

I’ve been super excited about this post for quite a while. On Thursday me and Hemisha took a trip down to Manchester to get a first look at the new lush store for the VIP event, which I was kindly invited too. I totally couldn’t turn this down; it was a must to attend!

Lush have opened a brand new store which is bigger and better than their previous one. It also has items which you can only get in that store, with other new products and releases.

The interior is probably my favourite feature, it’s so inviting not just by the scent but by the colour components of each sections of the store, starting from bath bombs to then make-up, skincare, hair care and so much more. Something that I don’t think many or any stores have is the green house this is where all the plants are stored and you can go in for a consultation which is tailored specifically for you and your needs. Within your consultation Lush staff can apply products you may want to try before purchasing making your shopping trip nothing but successful!

We got to go round to each station and get more of a look into what some products contain and the benefits of them on our skin. This was really helpful for u to get an insight to what would suite us and our skin. There were also bath bomb demonstrations like they do normally which is always so fascinating!

Another new aspect to this store is that they have a party section where you can book and have fun and games! This again is another exciting exclusive to this store! Throughout the night we were served the cutest Lush cookies as well as brownies and loads of other good stuff! (we were totally spoilt!) My favourite new items had to be the make-up as the lipsticks and eye-shadows which can also be used as highlighters are so glittery,pigmented and long lasting its unreal!! Another new aspect they’ve introduced is tying your purchases into a little bag with colourful printed scarfs they’re all so pretty!!

The store is now open and ready for you to shop till you drop, it’s located in the Manchester Arndale!

Thank you to everyone at Lush for such a good evening at the VIP event and my lovely friend Hemisha for accompanying me.

Prom // The Ultimate Prom Plan

Posted in Fashion by kiranalix

Hello guys, I hope you all are doing very well.

Today I’ve decided to post about something I’ve been super excited about since I was little. If you haven’t guessed or read the title yet its…PROM!!

I just wanted to tell you how I’ve planned for my prom which is on the 3rd of July (its nearly here eeek)!! Since being as small as I remember I’ve LOVED the idea of prom. I have watched every single Disney Channel Movie and any other film that has a prom within over and over again as this is how much I’ve wanted to experience one. The idea of it being such a magical and fairy-tale like experience makes me so happy as I’ve always dreamed of it to be so spectacular. I literally cannot wait for prom, it will surely be a night to remember.

As you may imagine if you’ve had a prom or a family member who has experienced a prom its fairly expensive as: choosing the right dress, picking the perfect heels and matching the glamorous jewellery can all add up to a very large total. Over in the US its all so much more outrageous as people go all out to have the biggest dress and the flashiest cars.

Well I’ve got to say that their are many components to a perfect prom including hair, makeup and the dress – as I said it can add up to a large amount. However, prom is meant to be magical and spectacular and it can only happen on way if you go all out I’m guessing!? It has been said that “Both in the UK and US 15% of school leavers will spend over £300 and $300 on outfits”. This is one fact of many as My Voucher Codes have done this research to show the average prom spend by surveying young people.

If you want to check out the whole of the statistics and the prices of peoples proms you can check it out here on A girl’s world article.

In my opinion I can understand all this money spending for the perfect prom, but sometimes it does get quite extreme. I think as long as your happy and think its all suitable then your fine.

I’ve had a bumpy journey trying to find the perfect dress but it was all worth it in the end as I totally adore my dress. I’m not going to spill any details because I’ll be doing a whole post on what my hair, makeup and dress looks like after prom which will be posted the day after prom hopefully so that will be exciting.

I can’t tell you how excited I am guys EEEK!

What’s your ideal prom? Comment below.

A day spent shopping with me..

Posted in Lifestyle by kiranalix

Hey lovelys!

I thought I’d do something different today..and do my shopping journey in pictures.

I spent my day today in The Trafford Centre. If you know me you’l know that I love shopping! So I decided to take my camera along and take pictures of clothes, shops and anything else I found interesting. I thought this will be something interesting and different for my blog as I haven’t done this before!

I hope you enjoy looking at what I got up to!
