Lush: Father Christmas

Father Christmas

I recently got a Lush Father Christmas bath bomb from my loved one and unfortunately like the goon I am I didn't use it correctly, so in other words I failed to enjoy it. To be fair its more annoying when there is no description attached when purchasing these products. For example, when receiving it as a gift your not to know what to do with them, hence I didn't know what to do until I got in the bath and decided to Google it, as I did begin to think where are the bubbles... and the annoying part where I read 'Bath Bomb' and compared the picture on the Lush website to how my bath was looking - which was nothing alike. Next time I receive a gift from Lush I will be sure to read it on the website as I am not talented enough to know that it was a bath bomb. So yes, very gutted about that but I still thought I'd show you what mine turned out like and to warn you in case you make the same mistake as myself which I'm pretty sure you won't.

Any Lush products that I should give a go?

Cut out boots

Three things I love about cut out boots

• Edgy look to spice up an outfit *buckles and gold detailing*
• Comfortable
• Wear all year round

I am so loving the cut out boots this season, these bad boys are big on trend after making quite a statement in the short summer we had in the U.K. Even better for my favourite season, Autumn/Winter 2013 they are bigger, better and bolder :) so flaunt a bit'a flesh haha. 

I love winter wear because its all layers and more layers but these cut out boots just knock that out the window with its cut out style! 

I've put together a collection of cut out boots from different places on the internet to give you an idea of what is out there, with a little description by me along with my verdict.

1. AMARIE Cut Out Boots

£68.00

Suede boots can get muggy in this kind of weather so I try to stay away from these. They are different to the rock and roll look as there more feminine with it being a pointy toe style. I feel like the pointy toe also elongates the front of the shoe making the foot look big from the side. However the gold buckled straps are different to the others that I have seen which are really pretty but again I prefer the bold look. Also unsure of comfortability, looking at the collection this pair do not have a platform heel which I tend to find difficult to wear all day.
 

Verdict: 3/5

2. Jasmine Ornate Boot

• £65.00

First point > Expensive boots! I think these are a lovely pair of boots again different to some others considering the unusual cut out shape, gold toe detailing, two different buckle straps, and the detail on the back of the boots. I do feel like the gold toe detail elongates the shoe and making the foot look longer.

Verdict: 3/5

3. Cut Out Chunky Biker Gold Buckle Boots 

£24.99

The more grungy look! I love it, I love the placement of the gold detail and the fact that they are available on Ebay makes it even better as I am ever so gutted about missing out on the Topshop Anchor cut out boots but these make it that little bit less painful! 

Verdict: 5/5

4. Womens Ladies Cut Out zip up buckles faux leather block Chelsea ankle boots

£24.99

Best choice for versatile wear because there are just so many different types out there and so the fact that they are just a pair of the classic Chelsea boots but they are a lot snazzier with cut out detailing and gold buckles. Great in the rain too - fabric wise, not in including the cut out of course and easier to clean then suede.
(Dupe: 7. Shanwee Leather Buckled Cut Out Boots In Black)

Verdict: 4/5

5. ASOS ALBERT Cut Out Ankle Boots

£40.00

A little less crazy than some, very plain old Jane for the price. Again, similar to the classic Chelsea boots with silver pin buckles.

Verdict: 2/5

6. Heather Black Suede Cut Out Chelsea Boots

£30.00

Again, another kind of Chelsea styled boots in Suede material with plain Jane silver pin buckles. I must say I do love the cut out detail and although they are not quite as pointy as the Topshop ones (N.o 1) they give it a much nicer feminine look, very casual but easy to glam up an outfit for evening wear.

Verdict: 4/5


So what is your verdict?

Also, I recently found these two low-heeled pair of cut out boots that I believe are very swanky.
