My Lushies have arrived!


So excited, yesterday my Lush goodies arrived, I got a bunch of good stuff and everything all together was about $32.00, Lush was having a fantastic sale of buy one get 2 free so I bought 4 items and got 8 free! PLUS! 2 really good samples, however, I heard that you can request up to 10 samples! But I didn't find this out til after I ordered, oh well great to know for next time :). So I got,
3 Cinders: They smell like Pez candy and cinnamon to me, and they made my room smell like them too which I am okay with because I love the smell of candy<3 These ones feel very hard, and they remind me of a scrub on it's description it says Bath Salt Tablet.

3 Gold Stars: Which I haven't decided what they smell like, I do smell some kind of fruity smell as well but that could be rubbing off from the Cinders, they are still adorable! and these ones are bubble bars so they're mushy feeling, and have gold glitter all over them.

2 Frothy the Snow Man: These ones have licorice eyes and they have coconut shavings on them, these ones have a more floral scent to me and they're mushy feeling like the Gold Stars. I can't wait to use them :)

1 Li'l Lush Pud: This one has a spicy smell and it also smells like floral, but yea it has a spicy smell as well, this one is a bath bomb like the Cinders one.

1 Green Green Bath of Foam: This one is shaped like a chocolate Kiss, and it's bright green, it's a bubble bar and it will turn your water bright green so I am super excited about that, haven't decided what it smells like yet, I think I am going to break this up though along with all the rest because these are so concentrated you dont need the whole thing to have a great bubble bath.

2 Green Party: A bath bomb, and it has confetti in it so when it's done exploding your tub will look like you had a party in it, so that's cute all by itself, smells fruity which is my favorite scent so another must have for me.

Then I got 2 generous samples, the first one is a sample of there Fresh Farmacy, and it's a soap but I am using it as a mask, the smell isn't that great but it has chamomile and it helps to reduce redness and it's also great if your prone to acne, which I am sadly. So I am glad I got to try this one one is another soap called Noubar, it's soft and mushy and feels like a good moisturizer it smells like roses, which is a great scent, and it has pistachios in it to help exfoliate your skin, I can't wait to try this one out.

All in all a very good addition to my collection and a great sale!

Urban Decay's "Lip Envy" Review

I recently went to Sephora in search for a good lip stain, ofcourse being the cheapy I am I wasn't prepared to spend $22 on one. A Sephora consultant offered to show me my different options and ofcourse this one I found called Urban Decay's Lip Envy was the cheapest at $17.00. Plus the color wasn't just your normal dark plumish stain. It was more of a fuschia red and on your lips it looks pretty pinkish. A very nice color I have to say, and the smell of it was a nice strawberry scent, it tased pretty good too. So, I definitely needed it. Since then I use it everyday because for some reason I ALWAYS get faded white lips if I don't use it and I hate it! I definitely recommen this lip stain because it's cheaper than the rest and wonderful all around!

Loving Lush

So, I am a big fan of Lush, recently I purchased a bunch of goodies when they were doing their sale on the holiday items, I got 12 items including bath bombs and bath melts for only 32 bucks! So I was very excited, anywho Valentine's day is coming up and I adore this gift set they have. It's called the "Be Mine" it includes a jasmine scented shower gel called "Flying Fox", a wonderful smelling "Honey Trap" lip balm, and "Soft Coeur" a very luxurious melty cocoa and honey massage bar. Plus! The packaging is super cute dont ya' think? So excited about this one.

O.P.I has followed Alice down the rabbit hole.


So I think to keep on going with this amazing theme I wanted to share with you this wonderful set of O.P.I nail polishes, they are also inspired by the new Tim Burton movie " Alice in Wonderland" starring, Johnny Depp. I am sure it will be amazing. Anyways, these nail polishes are simply gorgeous and with names like "OFF WITH HER RED" a very bright red, "Absolutely Alice" a extremely bright and sparkly blue, "Thanks So Muchness" a deeper red, and "Mad As A Hatter" a very sparkly silvery purple, who could resist? I couldn't I already bought them off Amazon.com :). I am quite sure they'll sell out fast, so hurry to your nearest beauty store or shop online!  Steph's Closet gives you a sample of what the colors look like.

Alice in Wonderland Urban Decay Palette



Available starting tomorrow! JANUARY 15, 2010

So you've probably seen this on other blogger's pages but I knew I had to add this to mine because honestly it's probably the most unique palette I have ever seen, just because of the box, it features a pop-up scene from Disney's "Alice in Wonderland" and also has a mirror attached and I love to have extra mirrors, also it includes a travel-sized Urban Decay Primer Potion (the best), and 16 of the most gorgeous eyeshadows with names like White Rabbit, Oraculum and Jabberwocky and also if that's not enough it also includes two 24/7 eye pencils. But honestly I would buy this set just because of the pop-up picture. It is not currently priced but I am guessing around $50.00? Could be wrong, Sign up at Urban Decay and they'll email you with the latest news.
