My Lush Interview Experience 2015! Part 2 (Trial Shift)

Hello there! 

So this is the 2nd half of my Lush interview experience, and today i will be chatting to you about the trail shift element of the process. So when Lush rang me to tell me about my trial shift all they really told me is to wear anything black and white which is their uniform, so i decided to wear a black skater shirt with a black & white striped boho top with a pair of black flats. 

So when i arrived at the store i was taken into the staff room were there was a couple of others who also had a trail shift, they were all lovely and we chatted whilst we waited for the trial to begin. 

To start with we were shown the basement were all the stock is kept (so cool!), and then we had a little chat with one of the trainee managers and introduced ourselves (Tip- Always have some fun and interesting facts about yourself that they will remember you for!). We then went on to talk about what we are were going to be doing for our trial shift and she told us how to approach customers. 

Then we went on to the shop floor and was given a tour of the store and taken round each section, then after this we were all set free into the store to interact with customers.

There was a slight panic moment but after the first customer i was absolutely fine and really started to enjoy myself and the staff there were so lovely to speak to and helpful if i didn't know something. We were on the floor for around 40 minutes and was great to demo products, give customers a little hand massage i think one of my favourite moments was helping two young lads find a gift for there mum!. So when the trial was over we all went in the back and was told to wait for a phone call later that day around 6pm, and then we were given a little lush bag with their catalogue and product inside (mine was Think Pink bath bomb!).

Here are my tips during your trial shift!-

-Be as confident as possible (hard i know when your nervous)

-Just have fun and think how many people would want to work in Lush even for 40 minutes

-Read up on some product knowledge beforehand

-Offer customers baskets as they walk in or around the store

-Always smile and welcome customers into the store

-Instead of asking 'how are you?' try more open questions like 'What brings you to the store today?

-Really get to know your customer and engage in what they are saying

I do hope this was helpful for anyone applying for a position in Lush! And i am very happy to announce that i am now a Christmas Sales Assistant for Lush! I'm so excited and cant wait to work with such a lovely team! So be expecting a lot more Lush on here! And i cant wait to see all the season products coming in! 

Thanks for visiting 

Pop along again soon! 

Love

Beauty Haul! Part 1 (Boots)

 Hello there! 

So this week i thought id treat myself since i was finishing uni for Easter (any excuse really!), so i thought i go to a couple of my favourite high street shops and thought id share with you some of the bits that i picked up!...

Boots 

Mark Hill Big Blow Out! Barrel Brush- i love looking through Boots bargain bins as you can usually find a good bargain, on this trip i picked up this Mark Hill barrel brush for only £2.49! which is a bargain!.

No7 Beautiful Skin Quick Thinking Wipes- I really like the NO7 skincare range but only tend to purchase something when i have the £5 off vouchers, so on this trip i did so decided to pick up some face wipes which are usually £7 (defiantly wouldn't usually spend that much!) but only cost me £2 which is a great price for some more luxurious wipes!

Maybelline-

Color Tatoo Leather Effects Eyeshadow in Creamy Beige- 

I have always loved the Maybelline Tattoo shadows and think i have all the ones that are available in the UK, but i noticed that some of the leather effects shades are being released. I haven't seen them all in stores yet, but when i spotted the shade Creamy Beige i had to snap it up! and I'm glad i did as it is a lovely brown shade and would look great as a base shadow.

Color Show Mono Eyeshadow in Copper Fizz- 

Another eyeshadow that iv had my eye on for a while is Copper Fizz from Maybelline, its a lovely rose gold shade and worth picking up plus you get a good amount of product!.

NO7 & Sleek Makeup

No7 Shimmer Palette in Caramel- 

No7 really do have some lovely makeup products and whilst looking online at their new releases for Spring i came across this beautiful palette which looks very similar to the Bobbie Brown shimmer brick. I have since used this product and really love it and acts a beautiful bronze highlighter! I really want to try the Rose version they do too! plus the packaging is a lovely rosy gold! which is always a bonus!

Sleek Matte Me lipstick in Party Pink-  

I haven't bought anything from Sleek in while but they used to be my go to brand!.So i thought id check out what was new, i had heard of the Matte Lipsticks when they first came out and really wanted to try them out.When i first applied the lipstick i wasn't too sure as it was a funny consistency but after a minute it went completely matte and wasn't budging and think would look great with a gloss over the top and is very pigmented.

So thats all i bought from Boots this week, 

And don't forget all makeup and haircare, skincare

 and beauty products are on 3 for 2!

Thanks again for reading this post!

Let me know what your favourite drugstore products are?

Girly Night Out Personalised Makeup Band

Hi lovelies! 

So a few months ago i was watching Tash from Its simply beauty get ready with me video (here) and i noticed the headband that she was wearing, iv been looking for a new makeup headband for a while as my No7 one was getting a bit grubby!. 

So after reading the description i realised it was from a website called Girly Night Out and i was rather surprised that it was only £4.99 considering it was personalised plus they offer free delivery!

It comes in 6 colours (i have the red one but would say it was more of a burgundy red)and you can personalised it with up to 25 characters. 

I got this for a couple of family and friends for Christmas and they absolutely loved them so it is a good gift idea for any women/girls in your life!  
I love using my headband especially to keep all my hair out of my face when doing my makeup or even when I'm just doing things round the house and want to keep my hair back.

Thank you for reading this quick Sunday Post!

Please check out the Girly Night Out website they have 

some lovely and quirky quote t-shirts plus

they also let you personalised some of the clothing!

Have a lovely day!

January Fashion Wish List

          So Today i thought i would put together a post of some of the items that have been on my current fashion wish list and that i have been lusting over

...Enjoy!

(Bag, Ring, Watch, Dress)

Ted Baker Harpel

Now this bag combines a lot of things i love handbags, Ted Baker and Rose Gold! this bag is currently on sale from £249 to £ 174, which is still a lot of money! but I'm going to try find this bag in store and see if it is worth treating myself! (because we all need to once in a while) 

Pandora Leaf Ring

When i was shopping with my friend the other day she was buying a Pandora ring so whilst helping her choose one i came across this beauty! not the usual Pandora ring that everyone usually gets but i really love this one when i tried it on. Its funny because i don't really wear rings that often and I'm usually a rose gold or just gold fan but the diamante & leaf design really drew me in.

Michael Kors Watch

Back in July when i was in New York i bought my first piece of rather expensive (yet rather affordable than some) piece of jewellery which was a Rose Gold MK watch which has diamante's. Very similar to the one in the picture but without the pink band, but after seeing this one i really like it and in a few years maybe something i look at getting for a special occasion. 

Monochrome Dress

Now this is something in my wish list that won't break the bank as much! i spotted this dress on the New Look website and for £20 plus my student discount i think it would make a lovely staple in my wardrobe, who doesn't love a bit of monochrome!and the scuba material looks like it would be lovely in the summer.

So what products are on your current wish list?

Thankyou for reading!
