Bath Treatments -LUSH - Christmas Eve bubble bar
Kat_rocks 11/26/2011 6:33:00 PM
Its pretty big for a bubble bar, so I divided it into 4 sections to last me. I have no idea what this smells like but it smells very soft and sleepy. If that makes any sense. It turns the water a purple color and it softens my skin like no other. In all the lush products I have tried nothing has ever made my skin feel so soft. Not so much bubbles however, but that could be because I didnt throw the whole thing into the bath. Will be buying more if I get to visit my lush store before the end of the year.

Gels/Soaps -LUSH - Sandstone soap
Kat_rocks 11/26/2011 6:13:00 PM
I dont know if this is a new soap or if I just never noticed it before, but I'm really glad I found it. Its very exfoliating. It contains sand, so dont mash it on your skin or else it will hurt. I gently rub it all over so that it doesnt rip my skin off. As long as I do that I have no problem with it. It smells like a toned down version of sexy peel, which is fine because I also love sexy peel. Just dont mash this onto your skin and you'll be fine.

Gels/Soaps -LUSH - Flying Fox Shower Gel
Kat_rocks 11/26/2011 6:06:00 PM
LOVE this. I love all things jasmine. It smells like real jasmine, not a fake manufactured jasmine. The smell of the honey is pretty strong as well. Its a rich, sultry smell that lasts on my skin. Its perfect for shaving, helps make the legs and other good parts smell wonderful. I recently started using this as shampoo, I have added to my other 'poos but I only recently started using it alone. And boy ! My hair is so soft and bouncy and of course smells amazing. My hair is naturally really frizzy and it doesn't do anything to help with that. But my hair is always soft and bouncy after using this stuff as shampoo. This is a staple in my bathroom, the smell comforts me and gives me a little oomph when I need it.

Eye Shadow -Stila - Kitten
Kat_rocks 11/26/2011 6:00:00 PM
I tried this product in one of the "it girl" palates. I hated it at first, I thought it was to frosty, glittery ect. but I find myself using this almost every day. The fallout is really bad, however it can easily be fixed with tape or just brushing it away. This is a beautiful champagne color that is just perfect for my skin. It adds a touch of elegance to my daily make up. Its a good buy when you get it in the palate.

Crème -Laura Mercier - Crème Smooth Foundation
Kat_rocks 7/22/2011 4:31:00 PM
I have been using this product in the color blush ivory. Which is the perfect color for my skin. Its the perfect blend of both yellow and pink undertones. Its a thick, mousse like texture and has full coverage. A little goes a long long way. However the only problem I have with this stuff is that it is EXPENSIVE. Its about 60 bucks at sephora. I just go in for a sample of this stuff about once every month, and it lasts and lasts.

Brows -Wet 'n' Wild - kohl/ eyeliner/ brow
Kat_rocks 6/20/2011 12:16:00 PM
I have very very sparse eyebrows, from years of over plucking and just not having enough to begin with. I use the color taupe (I am very fair with strawberry blond hair, with slightly reddish/ blond eyebrows) and this works great ! I don't apply from the stick, I rub the pencil tip all over a slanted eyeliner brush and then use the brush to apply soft strokes on my eyes. It works perfect !

Treatments -LUSH - Jasmine & Henna Fluff Eaze Hair Treatment
Kat_rocks 6/16/2011 4:38:00 PM
I used to live by the flat iron and hairdryer. However, I recently got my hair cut and have been trying to take better care of it. This stuff is amazing. Its an amazing smelling conditioning treatment for frazzled hair. I dip four fingers into the pot, which coats them enough for my thin, short hair. I use enough for my whole head to be damp and then I leave it on for 20 or more minutes, the longer the better. Then I go about my washing and conditioning as normal. Every single hair treatment I have ever used has left my hair greasy and gross if I dont shampoo it after ward. This does not. It leaves my hair so soft and smooth I dont actually need to wash it afterward at all (by washing I mean shampooing, you kinda need to rinse this out =p) I love the smell of this, earthly and floral. Its perfect ! $$$ however... but worth it.

Skincare - Body -LUSH - Shimmy Shimmy Massage Bar
Kat_rocks 6/16/2011 4:29:00 PM
I guess people are confused about what this is. This is a glitter bar ! It's basically coco butter and glitter. The only reason it has the coco butter is because it helps adhere the the glitter, and it somewhat moisturizes too. This is not for the faint of heart. You will be a walking glitter bomb. That being said, I love this stuff. The glitter is very very fine. And it deposits alot of it. I use it all over my legs and chest and sometimes arms. To use without looking like a drag queen, I first swipe it ONCE across my chest. Then I rub it in all over my shoulders and chest and neck. This is more than enough for a nice glow. I use the remaining glitter on my hands to rub down my legs and arms and whatever else. Use this sparingly to achieve a nice sparkly glow. Otherwise you will look ridiculous.

Styling Products -Bumble & Bumble - does it all styling spray
Kat_rocks 6/5/2011 1:07:00 PM
I usually am pretty happy with BnB products, however this was terribly unimpressive. I don't mind smell, but this hairspray smells awful, its the worst smelling product I have ever used. It doesn't do anything for my hair. Nothing at all ! I wonder how products like this continue to be made and bought. Overall, its too expensive and doesn't do a darn thing.

Masks -LUSH - Cupcake Mask
Kat_rocks 5/27/2011 1:31:00 AM
I've tried many other LUSH products and decide to try their masks. For less than 6 bucks I figured you cant go wrong. I choose the cupcake mask. I've used it about three times, 2-3 days apart. I had a really horrible break out before I started using this and I was thinking today why may skin has cleared up so nicely and it hit me. This stuff really works. I let it sit on my face for about 15 min, sometimes longer. It smells ok, not the best but after it dries you cant really smell it anymore. I could care less about the smell if it works, and this stuff does. So yet again I am pleasantly surprised by how well the LUSH products work. I cant wait to try the other masks!

Conditioner -LUSH - American Cream
Kat_rocks 5/23/2011 6:05:00 PM
As most have said, this smells wonderful. However I haven't noticed much conditioning. I have very fine hair that tangles easily and when I brush it it breaks... leading to less hair. When I used this alone (after shampooing) it left my hair soft, but it didnt help with the tangles and there was no slip as most of us are used too. I realize that what I need is something with silicone in it to produce that slip and help with the breakage/tangles. This product is great, but its not for me.

Shampoo -LUSH - Rehab Shampoo
Kat_rocks 5/23/2011 6:01:00 PM
I have been using this shampoo for the last couple of weeks, I am a big fan of their solid shampoos so I figured I would try the liquid ones. The smell is divine, very earthy and floral. A little goes a long way. I bought the smallest size and its been at least a month and I have 3/4th left. It lathers really well, thanks to the sulfates =[ . It leaves my hair nice and bouncy, and smelling great. I haven't noticed any significant 'therapy' to my hair, but it does what I need it too; cleans, has mostly natural ingredients and smells amazing.

Tinted Moisturizer -LUSH - Colour Supplement
Kat_rocks 5/23/2011 5:50:00 PM
I really wanted to like this product. I love everything else LUSH has to offer, however I was completely disappointed in this. I bought the color 'jackie oatis', which is the lightest color they have. As far as the color its perfect for my skin, however in the summer I would probably have to mix a more yellow color to attain a slightly more 'tan' color. Besides the color, everything else falls short. The smell... is interesting... oatmeal + plastic- ish. It is not very pigmented so this wouldnt be for someone who has acne/acne scars like I do, because it doesnt cover them very well. It is moisturizing, but more on the greasy/oily side. This all could be acceptable except for the amount of parabens in the ingredients ! Its full of them ! Sometimes I can look the other way, but it seems to contain almost every paraben know to mankind. Needless to say, I am returning it.

Bath Treatments -LUSH - Geo Phyzz bath bomb
Kat_rocks 5/2/2011 5:08:00 PM
Would you buy this product again? YES YES AND YES This is my favorite BB, I usually use in with either the avobb or the big blue bb and sometimes alone. It is packed full of sea salt, the water has to be hot enough to melt the sea salt. So sit in the bath BEFORE you drop this one in. The sea salt is so good for my skin and I look forward to using this every night. It smells like pine/cedar trees, which is amazing. It also helps with my sore muscles and sucks all the toxins out of my body. However you dont want to stay too long in this salty mixture, 15 min max or else the toxins seep back into you. Look up Osmosis and Diffusion if you dont understand why.

Bath Treatments -LUSH - Sakura Bath Ballistic
Kat_rocks 5/2/2011 4:57:00 PM
I am a native to DC and I know what cherry blossoms are supposed to smell like. In all my years I have never found something like smells exactly like them, but this does ! It turns your water a somewhat whitish color and the smell lingers on you skin after wards. So if you love the smell of cherry blossoms then this is the bath bomb for you.
