Lotions/ Creams -LUSH - Lemony Flutter
Astera 3/16/2011 12:50:00 PM
Lemony Flutter is described as a "lemony butter" and that is a very accurate statement. It smells like lemons and fresh. It has a very thick consistency. I use it on my feet instead of cuticles. It softens my heels very nicely overnight with socks on. :) A little goes a long way!

Treatments -It's a 10 - Miracle Leave in Product
Astera 3/16/2011 12:44:00 PM
I've had this product used on my hair twice at my salon and I really want to invest in it. It really tames my thick hair well and it feels like nothing is in my hair. No real residue and I run my fingers through it and I don't get that "slick" feeling like normal styling products leave.

Mascara -BeneFit Cosmetics - BADgal Lash
Astera 3/14/2011 8:56:00 PM
I LOVE this mascara. It isn't clumpy and gives me big luscious lashes. I've worn it so much, I didn't wear it today and I looked in the mirror. I looked boring. haha I was like... "Well alright then." I love this mascara. So much love. The formula doesn't flake like cheap drugstore mascara (I'm looking at YOU Colossal) and it stands up to the crying test if you don't rub your eyes. The price is pretty cheap considering how much you get. I love it.

Fragrances -LUSH - Gorilla Perfume - Lust
Astera 3/14/2011 8:54:00 PM
I have the solid perfume stick for this scent. It resembles the Godiva shampoo bar by LUSH. The jasmine isn't old lady-ish at all- very sexy! I love this fragrance and it is calming to me. I wish I had this in the form of a candle (like those expensive discontinued ones!)- I'm in love! Try before you buy, as in, it will smell way better on your skin than in the bottle.

Conditioner -LUSH - American Cream
Astera 3/14/2011 8:52:00 PM
I bought a huge bottle of this. I thought I was in love. I paid almost $30 for this conditioner. The smell was heavenly and it did an okay job conditioning. Gradually, it made my hair sticky almost. It wouldn't work unless I used a lot. I don't plan on repurchasing because it is too thin to disperse through my hair. If you have short hair, this will be perfect for you. If your hair is curly/wavy and long like mine, look elsewhere or prepare to use a lot of conditioner.

Cleansers -LUSH - Fresh Farmacy
Astera 3/14/2011 8:49:00 PM
I tried this more than once. The lather was so-so and hard to disperse. I cut it small and the pieces wouldn't lather. I cut it big and it dried up. Too much trouble. Sorry LUSH, this was a fail. Otherwise, the ingredients are calming to acne prone or troubled skin. The smell is not offensive and it did help with my acne when paired with their other acne products. I heard the formula was tweaked since I last used this (early 2010) so I may give it a second chance. Until then, I don't plan on repurchasing.

Gels/Soaps -LUSH - Iced Wine Shower Jelly
Astera 3/14/2011 8:47:00 PM
“Iced Wine” was a limited edition shower jelly that smells like frosty fruity grapes. A little goes a long way and it’s lovely on cold winter mornings. The lather is nice and the smell doesn’t really linger - it does wake you up though! I’m quite fond of it though I have a feeling it wont return next X-mas.

Gels/Soaps -LUSH - Snow Fairy Shower Gel
Astera 3/14/2011 8:45:00 PM
“Snow Fairy” is a once a year limited Christmas gel. It smells like xxx Vitamin Water to me. Very sudsy and pink. It has glitter at the bottom of the gel that serves no purpose and wont even disperse through the bottle. It just settles to the bottom and STAYS THERE I have to be in a mood to use this gel. My sister loves it though.

Gels/Soaps -LUSH - It's Raining Men
Astera 3/14/2011 8:44:00 PM
“It’s Raining Men” is a delicious, honey shower gel that is absolute heaven. My boyfriend and sister have tried it and love it- gender neutral, it just smells that good! Smells like the “Honey I Washed the Kids” soap. Limited edition shower gel for Valentine's Day, get it while you can!

Polishes -New York Color - Long Wearing Nail Enamel
Astera 3/14/2011 8:40:00 PM
These are a quite the guilty pleasure for me. They are great for pedicures. The wear is okay considering you get what you pay for. They take forever to dry but the colors are cute. I love the yellow taxi cab one. The glitter is a must. Highly recommended for children and women who need a cheap pick me up.

Polishes -OPI - Texas Collection 2011 Guy Meets Gal-veston
Astera 3/13/2011 12:40:00 AM
This is a very pretty orang-y pink. It goes on sheer and jelly like. I really like it and had to fight tooth and nail to find it because I live in the Galveston area. It's very popular with us. :) I love it, thank you OPI! The formula is quite different than what I'm used to and the change is fun and different. Definitely a must try!

Polishes -Sephora - by OPI Havana Dreams
Astera 8/26/2010 4:17:00 PM
I love this shade, so baby blue! I love how it doesn't bubble or look gross after it dries (compared to my um... really cheap polishes like N.Y.Color). The staying power is amazing, I can wear it for at least 5 days WITHOUT a top coat. :O Amazing right? I love this color, but it's a limited edition. I'll probably get bored with it by the time I finish the bottle so its no big deal really. Definitely a year round shade though! Love, love, love this brand. I will be shelling out more $$ for Sephora by OPI, that is how impressed I am with the quality!

Skincare - Body -LUSH - Shimmy Shimmy Massage Bar
Astera 5/31/2010 5:10:00 PM
Good for special events like prom! (I used mine for that) The golden glitter is a bit on the obnoxious side but it's very sexy on the collarbone for a trip to the beach! :D I use it on my legs too for a glistening glow! I wouldn't buy it again anytime soon because a little goes a LONG way. Smells like their American Cream conditioner.

Skincare - Body -LUSH - Each Peach Massage Bar
Astera 5/31/2010 5:05:00 PM
Perfect for summer! I wanted a massage bar for summer that wasn't too heavy and this one is perfect! The name is misleading, it is a citrusy scent. It absorbs well and I love it on my legs during hot days, put this one in the fridge! MMmm...

Bath Treatments -LUSH - Dorothy
Astera 3/22/2010 3:56:00 PM
Please keep Dorothy around! It's such a cute bubble bar, I cut it in half and it made so many bubbles and smelled beautiful! The water turned blue, like the river in "munchkinland" on the movie! (Fake blue! haha) I have the other half on my dresser and it makes my room smell pretty! :) I'm getting some more!
