the packaging is adorable! it's a really fun, sweet, young scent. very different from my other perfumes but i think it's a nice addition. smells like cotton candy :)

Fragrances -Christian Dior - j'adore
shaecode 12/26/2009 2:40:00 AM
my mom got me this perfume for christmas. it's realllly pretty but a bit strong for my taste. when you smell it in the bottle its a bit overpowering for me, but if i lightly mist it then walk through it, it's perfect. i especially love how it smells after i've been wearing it for a few hours. it's a very fresh fragrant scent. quite different than my HG purfume which is burberry brit. it's a great addition to my fragrance collection :)

Skincare - Body -LUSH - Mange Too massage bar
shaecode 12/23/2009 4:12:00 PM
mmm i love the smell! reminds me of peppermint white mochas from starbucks. with a hint of honey. i use this right after the shower as a moisturizer. if i don't have time to lay around the house naked to let it absorb (haha), i use some of the vanilla puff or silky underwear powder to set it. it gets rid of the greasiness but keeps the moisture. i wish these bars had a handle or something so the bar didn't melt all over my hand when i use it. it does melt fast, but if you don't store it in the bathroom and use it quick so it doesn't melt all over your hands it lasts a pretty long time.

Powders -LUSH - Silky Underwear Dusting Powder
shaecode 12/23/2009 4:48:00 AM
mmm smells so nice. like cocoa butter with a hint of floral and vanilla. i have very dry skin so i don't find it moisturizing, but i don't expect a powder to moisturize. i sprinkle it in my sheets before i go to bed and it smells divine. one lippie off for the packaging. messy and not practical. wish they packaged with a powder puff or something.

gorgeous!! my boyfriend bought me this for christmas and i absolutely love it. the colors are great on my hazel eyes. it's perfect to create a simple look with only 2 colors. it's a tad bit sparkly for my taste, but i can live with it because of the beautiful colors!

Gels/Soaps -LUSH - Porridge Soap
shaecode 12/23/2009 3:07:00 AM
my HG soap is honey i washed the kids, but after a while, like anything, i get sick of the smell. porridge is a great alternative! the smell kind of reminds me of HIWTK but its different enough. lathers well, moisturizing, great!

Cleansers -LUSH - Ultrabland

I don't use this as a makeup remover because i love my HG one too much. (rimmel gentle makeup remover) but the SA suggested it for my extremely dry skin. so far i love it! leaves me feeling so soft and my skin doesn't flake anymore. i also love how you apply it, smoothing it all over your face and using a warm wet cloth to remove it, instead of scrubbing and getting water everywhere like most cleansers. i use it with eau roma water toner and skin drink moisturizer and my skin has really improved.

Bath Treatments -LUSH - Big Blue Bath Bomb
shaecode 12/18/2009 12:56:00 AM
i got this in the gift set "bath time favorites" which is a tin with 9 bath bombs. i hadn't tried this one yet, and i'm saving my favorites for last, so i decided to try it tonight. the seaweed freaked me out. the the bath bomb looked SO gross as it dissolved...like little worms! it was so gross i avoided looking at it. the bath water was turned a gorgeous blue, but then at the bottom of the tub there was a mess of seaweed. like laying in the ocean. anytime i shifted to grab some soap or anything it all ruffled up and stuck to my legs and stuff which grossed me out ahahah. i wasn't expecting there to be so much!! the smell was nothing special. VERY purfumey and strong. i couldn't even really determine a certain smell from it's.. just...strong. now that i'm out of the bath though.. my skin feels pretty soft and smells good. maybe i'll buy it again...but use a strainer to get rid of the seaweed. but that seems like too much hassle for a mediocre bath bomb. sooo maybe i won't. hmm..

Bath Treatments -LUSH - Avobath Bath Ballistic
shaecode 12/17/2009 10:01:00 PM
this bath bomb was just "meh" for me. it wasn't bad, which is why it still gets 3 lippies, but the smell was a little overpowering for me. it kind of just smelled like the entire lush store.. i couldn't really distinguish a scent from it. it did what a bath bomb should...fizzed up and made my bath smell, changed the water color etc.. but i didn't notice any huge difference in my skin texture or anything. i think i'd pick a few other bombs before this one. (p.s...i got this in the "bath time favorites" gift which consists of 9 bombs in a tin. so maybe that's why mine smelled so overpowering.maybe it just absorbed all the other bomb's scents...when i go to the lush store i'm going to smell these on their own and see if i like it more.)

Mascara -MAC - Plush Lash
shaecode 12/17/2009 2:22:00 PM
i don't love it. it's okay for under my HG mascara (l'oreal voluminous) but it just doesn't give my lashes the definition and body that i like on its own. the applicator is fat and its awkward to use. it's also quite dry. i would just skip mac mascara and go for drugstore.

my mom got this free with her credit card reward points. it's light, yet chemical smelling. i don't wear it very often. it could be worse though. the bottle is really pretty and HUGE though, so it looks nice with my collection.
