I have done a few videos/ posts like this in the past & had a great response to them.

I know I am only covering the more simple things that you learn as an equestrian, however some of these things are very useful to know.

Today we're talking about how to lunge a horse.

Lunging is a great way to help with training & exercising a horse. If a rider is unable to ride they might be able to lunge instead. If your horse has a lot energy & you'd rather not get on straight away it's a good way to get some excess energy out. If your horse is young or lacking balance. Honestly there are SO many reasons to lunge a horse!

There are also different types of equipment you can lunge a horse in. You can simply use tack with a lunge line, or add side reins or a pessoa (which is what you can see Jem in here).

So there are a few key things when it comes to lunging. I would say that one is to try not to let your lunge line get too slack, it's best to keep some tension on there. This will reduce the likelihood of the horse turning or falling the circle into you. Another key thing is the same shape you want to create whilst lunging. What I mean by this is between you the horse & the lunge line (possibly a lunge whip too), you want to create a triangle shape. Preferably more of a right angle triangle, so you are positioned towards the backend of your horse. 

Another key thing is confidence. You need to lunge with a confident & encouraging attitude to get the best our of your horse.

Oh Lush, you've done it again!

I normally tend to stick to the info when it comes to these Lush blog posts, however I just can't with this one. This is their Milky Bath Bubble Bar & you know what I think it's one of my new favourites.

If you love a clean crisp bath experience, you will love this. It has a lovely clean scent & produces pure white bubbles. Very pretty!

It is also really quite moisturising without covering you in glitter.

New favourite alert!!

It has been a while since I have really enjoyed a new fragrance, I just tend to stick with what I know. However when I gifted some of the Zoella body mists I found one I love.

The one that I'm loving is Let's Spritz!

I know, it's definitely the wrong time of year for this fragrance. That said maybe that's why I'm loving it so much. It's a very light & fresh scent, yet also quite sweet. I think it makes a lovely every day fragrance.

The only thing I wish around this fragrance was that was a little longer lasting in scent, so make it more of an eau de toilette. If it's still available I will definitely be buying the full size of this fragrance once this one is finished.

So I did it, I finally caved & got a high end liquid lip. Was it worth it?

Well I have to say I'm still a little undecided on that one!

The liquid lip I decided to go for was the infamous Kat Von D Everlasting Liquid Lipstick in.. you guessed it Lolita.

Firstly, I have to say I do really love the packaging of this. The detailing is cool & the skin tube is really nice to carry around in your handbag. I also like the doe-foot applicator, which makes for easy application.

The formula of this product, I think is pretty good. It has a great wear time & is very comfortable to wear. I would say it is very comfort to wear for a matte lip product. So I think my problem here really isn't with the product itself, it's more with the shade.

I love a mauve nude, as much as the next person. However I feel like this shade comes off a lot more brown than I would have liked/ or expected. I'll be honest I only went with this shade because of the hype surrounding it & I kinda wish I hadn't.

I can however make this shade work for me, it's just usually a case of applying less rather than more. So, if you are looking to purchase one of these lippies I would advise trying to swatch them in person opposed to buying online. All I can say is some of the swatches aren't very accurate.

Christmas has come & gone, however the gifts are still being sorted out, haha, you all know what I mean! I wanted to do a mini review/ unboxing of Zoella's fragrance gift set.

The gift set is called Secret Scenta, very cute.

Overall, I think this is a great little gift set. If you can still get hold of one, I would say do it! I'm hoping they bring these back next year, as they make a great gift!

PS. My current favourite is Let's Spritz!

BOO!

Literally! That is the name of today's product. This is Lush's Boo bath melt.

Now I've never used a bath melt before but they're rather simple really. You simply run it under the tap & pop it in the bath water.

With a combination of ginger oil & cocoa butter this bath melt is seriously moisturising & soothing.

If you're having any dry skin issues this will sort you right out!

Matte eyeshadows are a staple item in any make up kit, however most palettes tend to have very few or none at all! This is where matte palettes can really come into their own, much like this one by Make Up Revolution.

I have tried a few products by Make Up Revolution before, including eyeshadows & they have been a little hit or miss. 

So this palette is their Flawless Matte ultra eyeshadow palette. The palette consists of a mixture of cool & warm tone matte eyeshadows. The first thing I will have to credit them on is the mirror in here, it's great! A decent size & good quality.

I obviously haven't tried every single eyeshadow in here, but having tried quite a few I can say they are again very hit or miss. The more I try drugstore eyeshadow palettes the more I think that you really do get what you pay for with eyeshadows! 

There is also no correlation on which shades are good or bad, it's literally a lucky dip.

I find this a real shame as this palette had the potential to be great, but unless your really are on a budget & aren't too fussed about the quality, then I wouldn't recommend this palette. I would say, to get the use & moneys worth I'd save up for a better palette.
