Lush Goodies! (Reviews)

I have been waiting to post this for so long!

I went to Lush around the middle of February, and I've been waiting to post about my purchases ever since! I only got 2 things, but I don't usually buy things from Lush so I was super excited.

Without further a due, here they are!

The 2 things I got were the Tree Tree Water toner water, and the Sweetie Pie shower jelly.
The toner water cost $9.95 for 100mL which is the smaller size. The large size (250mL), costs $21.95.
For the 100g shower jelly, which is the one I bought, it cost $6.95. For the large size (240g), it is $11.95. I think these are both fairly reasonable prices considering Lush products tend to lean on the more expensive side. Don't get me wrong, these are slightly expensive, but to me they are luxury bath & skincare products that I'm willing to pay a little extra for once in a while.

I bought the Tea Tree Water because I had been eying it for a while now and I've recently been dealing with some light acne so I was hoping it would help with that. Tea Tree oil has lots of uses such as on acne, minor cuts&burns, infections and tons more! It's a very healing substance.
Having it diluted with water in this spray created a very refreshing mist.
I would actually like to try to create a "dupe" for this since there are few ingredients and it is a very simple product.

This is a face toner and you can spray it directly on your face or use cotton pads. I usually tend to spritz it on my face for cooling benefits. It soaks in fairly quickly and it feels very soothing.
I haven't noticed any major changes in my skin which is a bit disappointing. I can't tell if a few of my acne spots disappeared due to this, or if they healed on their own.
I don't think I would repurchase this since it hasn't done much and I could easily make it myself. It is fun just to try out and I think it will be awesome and refreshing in the warmer months!

The shower jelly is a very interesting product, it looks just like jello! I chose the scent sweetie pie because it smelled amazing! It's described as cherry-coconut.

 It's a purple jelly with a few bits of shimmer and sparkle in it but they don't show up on your skin.
This smells amazing! It's very sweet and summery! It's kind of fun to use in the shower, but it's quite slippery and hard to hold onto. I lathers really well just like a regular body wash and it's not drying at all. I wouldn't buy this often but it's fun for a change. So far I've used this quite a few times and I've only used up about 1/3 of the tub.
I think these are both great products from lush and I'd definitely recommend them!

Blogmas 2013: Day 5! Favorite Perfumes and Body Mists

I love collecting perfumes! Every time a new one comes out, I feel like I need to buy it, or at least run to the store and smell it! Perfumes are completely personal preference. There's a wide variety of different types of scents which can really express who you are. Many people have a signature scent which you could notice them by, but I could never choose just one!

It's always fun to pick out a new scent each day and I love leaving the house smelling great! I feel empty when I forget perfume in the mornings so I usually keep a mini in my purse just in case.

A huge problem I ran into was leaving my perfumes out exposed in the sun :0 

I had kept my perfumes on a tray on my desk by my window and the sun hit them everyday. The scents changed within months to unappealing scents. I could still smell a hint of the original scent but it was mostly un-wearable which was pretty disappointing. I'm definitely going to repurchase my ruined ones since I can't live without them!

When I'm going out for the night, or something fancier, I tend to opt for a full-on perfume, but during the day I usually enjoy a light body mist!

Anyways, on with my favorites!

As you can see, the coloring of Pink Sugar (the one of the far right) is totally off. Due to sun damage it has turned an awful yellow color! I would definitely recommend storing your perfume out of the sun and out of the heat!

The first body mist is Beautiful Day by Bath and Body Works. This is the perfect scent for the summer! It's light and fruity with a hint of floral. I actually featured this in a haul along with Honey Sweetheart which you can view here.

Next is my absolute favorite winter scent and all-time favorite Bath and Body Works scent. It's called Vanilla Bean Noel and I absolutely adore it! It's smells exactly how you would expect, just like vanilla!

Honey Sweetheart Is perfect when I'm looking for a floral flirty scent. It's also from Bath and Body Works and the packaging is to die for. 

The Bath and Body Works website had a description for it:

Top Notes: Italian Mandarin, Grapefruit, White Peach

Mid Notes: Apple Blossom, Honeysuckle, Gardenia, Lily of the valley

Dry Notes: Cedarwood, Amber, Vanilla, Musk, Candy Heart Accord

I am awful at describing scents so I won't bother.

 Pink Sugar is the perfect sweet scent. It smells like cotton candy and everything sweet. I always get compliment when I wear it and I often hear people say "What smells like candy?' Oh it's just my AMAZING perfume! ;)

As you can see I love vanilla. I tried a solid perfume from lush in the scent Vanillary and it has a completely different scent than Vanilla bean Noel. It's super easy and quick to apply so it's great for on the go.
Finally, my last favorite is Cotton Candy by Demeter. I would totally recommend checking out the Demeter website to browse all of their amazing unique, scents. They have crazy ones like Black Bamboo, all the way to sweet ones like Cotton Candy! I don't think I need to do much explaining on how this smells, but let's just say it's amazing!

Costs (Regular Price from their websites):

Beautiful Day: $14

Vanilla Bean Noel: $14

Honey Sweetheart (travel size): around $8

Pink Sugar (1.7oz./50ml): $30-$50

Vanillary: $9.95

Cotton Candy (1oz): $20

 Well, those are my top 6 favorite perfumes and body mists! I hope you enjoyed and come back tomorrow for Blogmas day 6! Hope you've been enjoying Blogmas =)

Lush lip scrub

So today I'm going to be doing a review on the lush lip scrub.

 I like the idea of the scrub but I don't love the product. 

It claims to gently exfoliate dead skin but I don't think it does the job.

I found it drys my lips out. After I use this my lips feel almost flakey-er. 

My friend had the same opinion.

I also find this product to be very overpriced. 

It's $10 for sugar, flavor and oils. It's only about a tablespoon of sugar and this can easily be made at home.
Keep in mind that these are just my opinions and I know others may like this product. :)

Bye!
