This is something that I hadn't seen before in Superdrug, until I stumbled upon it on the website, where there was a vast range of items from this range to choose from. I decided upon 3 Bubble Baths/Shower Cremes, 1 Body Lotion and 1 Body Butter. When I saw them, I thought the flavours used in each product were so lovely, that I couldn't wait to get my hands on them.

Products from left to right.

1. I love... Coconut and Cream Nourishing Body Butter 200ml

2. I love... Coconut and Cream Bubble Bath and Shower Creme 500ml

3. I love... Raspberry and Blackberry Bubble Bath and Shower Creme 500ml

4. I love... Strawberry Milkshake Bubble Bath and Shower Creme 500ml

5. I love... Lemon and Lime Moisturising Body Lotion 250ml

I love...Coconut and Cream Body Butter

"Escape to paradise; an exotic explosion as my tropical cocktail of sweet coconut and velvety cream aromas leave you drifting away to your very own idyllic beach hideaway"

Nourishing Body Butter - From there range of body butters, I chose the "Coconut + Cream" one, as a fan of the coconut scent, I just had to purchase. As soon as I opened the lid, I was blown away by the gorgeous sweet coconut scent, that I absolutely love! The body butter also has coconut oil and shea butter that is really good for the skin. Using this as a moisturizer for my arms and legs, it applies really easily and smoothly and sinks into the skin nicely, leaves them silky soft and smelly yummy!

These body butters come in a 200ml tub, in a range of flavours, including: "Coconut + Cream, "Strawberries + Milkshake! and "Mango + Papaya", similar to there bubble bath products.

I love...Coconut+ Cream Bubble Bath and Shower Creme

"Escape to paradise; an exotic explosion as my tropical cocktail of sweet coconut and velvety cream aromas leave you drifting away to your very own idyllic beach hideaway!"

I love...Raspberry + Blackberry Bubble Bath and Shower Creme

"Super juicy and bursting with life; feel exhilarated as my delicious aroma of freshly squeezed raspberries and succulent blackberries infuse to create a fragrance sensation so fruity, I could be one of your five-a-day."

I love...Strawberries + Milkshake Bubble Bath and Shower Creme

"Fall in love again; there's something about this super smoothness of my thick creamy aroma, united with a burst of fresh strawberries, that leaves you senses elate and your tastebuds-a-tingling!"

Bubble Baths/Shower Cremes - "Coconut + Cream"- a beautiful coconut creme that smells amazing and reminds me of Malibu, "Raspberry + Blackberry" - a very fruity berry scent and "Strawberries + Milkshake"- a creamy strawberry scent that really does smell like milkshake, each come in a 500ml bottle. The sounds of these just made my mouth water and I had to try them! These normally RRP at £2.05, which I think is a very reasonable price, however at the moment, this collection is on a special off with 2 for £2.99, which is great! When squeezing some into the bath, it releases its amazing scent and creates loads of bubbles, allowing you to have a calming and relaxing bath, letting you wind down and de-stress. The scents of each of these cremes is absolutely gorgeous, and if they were edible, I'd definitely be giving them a try!

Also available in "Tropical Paradise" and "Mango + Papaya", which I shall definitely try when I have finished with these ones!

I love...Lemon and Lime Body Lotion

" Flash, bang, wallop, its time to blow your mind! Feel exhilarated as my sparkling accords of zesty fresh lemon entwine with zingy lime to leave your senses super charged and revitalized. Go on... the zest is yet to come! "

Moisturising Body Lotion - With this product, I wanted to try a flavour that I hadn't already tried from the range, so i opted for the "Lemon + Lime" Body Lotion. I thought it would be a lovely combination to try, as it made me think of quite a zesty, sharp and fruity scent - something I like. It comes in a pump like bottle that is very handy, and from the first pump, I was in love. The scent of this lotion is to die for, very fruity and zingy and reminded me of a sweet sherbet smell. It sinks into the skin really nicely and doesn't take long to try, leaving your skin hydrated and moisturised.

This collection also has another couple of products which I haven't purchased this time, including Shower Gels, Lip Balms, Super Soft Hand Lotions and Shower Smoothies, which come in the same flavours, as well as a few others, which is something I would probably purchase ones I'm done with these ones.

Have you tried anything from this range before?

Relaxation is a very important part of our lives and is something that everyone should be able to do. Being able to relax allows ourselves and our bodies to work in a more efficient and positive way. The idea of relaxation is important to us as it can stop stress: from things such as work/exams, family/friend/relationship issues and money, to name a few. It also can help relieve tension and anxiety and allows us to have time alone to think and clear your mind, which can make you feel happier and more positive, which brings less worry, more confidence!

What is relaxation?

1. The state of being free from tension and anxiety.

2. Recreation or rest, esp. after a period of work.

There are many ways in which we can relax, some people may choose certain techniques over others, as we are all different, and deal with certain issues in different ways. Some ways in which we can relax are as follows...

1. Breathing Techniques -Steady breathing allows you to alleviate tension and stress, also enables us to calm down and forget about any worries we may have.

2. Exercise - Activities such as yoga and swimming is also a way in which we can let our bodies relax and de-stress. Stretching muscles can help relieve tension in the body, which helps our bodies work better, keeping us healthy.

3. Meditation - Meditation allows us to clear our mind of any worries and stresses, and focus on moving towards a more positive state of mind, and is a good way of relaxing. Through this, meditation is a very useful relaxation technique letting your body be able able to rest and feel calm.

4. Massage - Having a massage is another way in which we can feel calm and relaxed. This process allows all tensions, aches and strains to be removed from the body, in order for us to feel better.

5. Music - Music can be used as an effective relaxation and stress management tool. Music can promote relaxation of tense muscles, enabling you to easily release some of the tension you carry from a stressful day. Listening to certain kinds of music allows us to feel calm and peaceful, allowing you to feel more optimistic and positive.

6. Environment - The surrounding environment plays a huge factor in being able to relax and feeling calm, somewhere quiet and comfortable with no distractions warm not too hot or cold is perfect for this.

7. Indulge in a Hot Bath - A warm bath helps to loosen up muscles, so its a great way to feel pampered and relaxed without really doing a lot, as well it will also take any tension away from your body.

8 - Clear your mind - Set aside time to relax each day. Some people prefer to relax right before bed to help fall asleep. Others relax first thing in the morning to start the day refreshed and revitalized.

How do you relax? Do you follow anything I have mentioned? Do you have any other suggestions?

The Kate Moss collection from Rimmel London is one of the highest quality lipsticks I've ever found at such a low price. I've only tried 2 shades from this collection- Shade 08 (a dusky pink) and Shade 05 (a bright fuchsia) and have absolutely loved both since I bought them!

I thought the collection has a great range of colours and shades that allow you to change your lip colour for different occasions, or just a change of style. These lipsticks include a formula which is a Black Diamond Pigment Complex which makes this lipstick reflect an even more radiant and intense shade. The price for this lipstick is incredible for such a good lasting effect and I would definitely buy more shades from this collection!

The packaging alone for this collection is something the definitely catches the eye - the matte black casing and red writing is a very minimalist but very sexy concept, and draws you in before you even look at the range of colours. The packaging also makes the product look classier, more elegant and higher end which I like, easy to use without any fuss!

Kate Moss Lipstick in shade 08

This lipstick is absolutely lovely and a great addition to my makeup bag! A beautiful nude creamy neutral pink colour that gives a semi-matte finish with a hint of shine. Shade 08 is a very natural lip colour, so it can be worn everyday to give your lips a boost and make them appear fuller than normal, without being over the top. The lipstick is quite pigmented, glides on very easy and lasts all day long, which means no need to re-apply, which is great!

Kate Moss Lipstick in shade 05

I immediately fell in love with shade 05 – a bright, bold fuchsia pink colour that would brighten up any smile without being to over the top. The lipstick itself is really creamy to apply, leaves your lips feeling hydrated and has a really nice smell to it, unlike other lipsticks I have tried. One thing I love about this shade is that it is very versatile, and can be worn at any time of the day, for everyday use or just an evening out.

What are your current favourite lipsticks?
