Lush.


I would like to apologize for neglecting this blog for so long.. With that being said let's proceed...

LUSH lush LUSH.. If you are unaware of what lush is.. here's a quick run through. Everything in the store is handmade and made with fresh and in some cases organic. So fresh in fact that some of the product's if not most.. have expiration dates. They have so many smells to choose from your bound to find something for you.

I need a support group..Here are the recent item's purchased and a little review of each!






Sugar scrub. I cut them in quarters. and that is enough product the scrub everything. this is my first time buying a lush sugar scrub and they are great! I had little baby bumps on the back of my arm that even BUFFY couldn't take off. needless to say they are no longer there! thanks to this little green bad boy. $4.95

Strawberry feels forever massage bar! smells amazing. very moisturizing. One of my favorite things from lush. I cut my massage bars in half so i can use one have in the shower. weird i know but it makes me feel so amazing cause i have super dry skin. $8.95

To drunk..to fu*k emoti bomb.. This is the first emoti bomb i have tried. and certainly the last. this was a HUGE disappointment.. and will not be repurchased. I guess the theory behind this is you take a piece place it at the bottom of the shower and as the water hits it the smell interacts with the steam. well this sucked. i used half and it melted so fast it was ridiculous. I barely smelled it. they retail for $3.95. But they need to be sold for $1.00.

PORRIDGE..enough said. This is the first lush soap I bought.
it smells amazing and exfoliates. This is my second 15.00 chunk. The only downfall I have with it is absolutely no lather.. But overall a permanent place in my lush collection.

5 Products I could not live without!


This is my everyday look. The products below are everyday must haves!






Ultimate Italian Badger Kabuki Brush
(
8.45 coastalscents.com)



mac mineralize skinfinish natural in light/medium.-
You can either wear this over foundation for a flawless finish or you can build up coverage and wear it alone.. it has a natural-matte finish. It's made with minerals that are healthy for you skin to! I cannot stress enough how important makeup brushes are you can't get the full effect of the product without the right tools! I usually apply it with a kabuki brush from coastal scents.
( $25.00 at mac stores, mac counters, maccosmetics.com)




Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in zero- They live up to their name when they say 24/7 because these bad boys to not smudge or come off at all! (well, unless you use eye makeup remover) Who wants to look like a raccoon? I've eyeliners that would smudge so bad that I'd rub my eye and I would have black marks all over my fingers in the creases underneath my eyes! gross! I won't go back to any other brand of eyeliners after trying these!
(
$17 at sephora stores, sephora.com, urbandecay.com, ulta)

Bare Escentuals Buxom Lash in black- I have tried a lot of mascaras but this by far is my favorite! My lashes are super short, this mascara makes them really long and full..and it doesn't clump!
(
$18 available at sephora stores or sephora.com)

mac pigment in teal-Isn't it gorgeous? Pigments have become a must have in my makeup collection because you can do so many different things with them..(press them to make shadows, nail polish, Put a small amount in your favorite face mist for a instant glow.) the possibilities are endless. Teal brings out the green in my eyes I usually use it as shadow..or I put it under the lower lash line for a pop of color when I'm going out!
( US $19.50 This can be purchased at mac counters, mac stores & maccosmetics.com)
