LUSH Christmas 2012!!

IT'S HERE!!!!!



Holiday products are back at Lush Cosmetics!! I have been an avid user of Lush products since the 7th grade, and the holiday products are always fantastic! Every year there's classic returning products (like Snowcake, Angel's Delight, and Cinders), and there's also brand new products and innovations (like Mr. Punch, Ponche, and Bubblebeard!) I just got a huge box of goodies from Lush, and I decided I'd share them with all of y'all!

Disclaimer: I do work at a Lush Cosmetics, but this in NO WAY will change my opinions on the products. If I love a product, it is solely because I DO love the product. And if I don't like a product, I won't say otherwise! I'm not in anyway being paid to review Lush products, just so we're all clear!


The first two products are new this year and they are Midnight Massage (top) and Sandy Santa (bottom). Midnight Massage is a massage bar, scented with jasmine and covered with a gold luster! It smells fantastic, and is super pretty! Sandy Santa is a sugar scrub, for use in the bath or shower! He uses sugar and sand to scrub you all over, and is scented with orange, rosewood, and sandalwood oil. Super yummy!



Next up are soaps! From the left: Mr. Punch, fruity and boozy; Snowcake, creamy and sweet; Angel's Delight, fruity and bright; North Pole, chocolate-minty (pink) and sandalwood/cypress (white); Snowglobe, citrusy and uplifting; and Northern Lights, pine and citrus! Mr. Punch and the North Pole soaps are all new this year, but everything else is returning favourites! I am IN LOVE with the Mr. Punch soap, it smells so good. It's got lime, blackcurrant, juniper berries and gin in it! It's heavenly.


I got three shower gels: Twilight, Ponche, and Snow Fairy! Twilight (lavender and tonka) and Ponche (orange juice, cinnamon, and tequila) are both new products, but Snow Fairy is a returning all time favourite! Snow Fairy is an amazing product, it's super candy sweet and is packed with iridescent glitter! 

I also got two of the facial cleansers: Buche de Noel, boozy and fruity with cranberries, satsumas, ground almonds, and brandy. This one is clay based, and its really good for dry, winter skin, but its useable for all skin types! Let The Good Times Roll is a new facial cleanser, made with maize flour, talc, corn meal, and popcorn! It smells AMAZING, like caramel corn (and also somehow like strawberry milk!) It's very good for polishing the skin, and is very gently scrubby! I also got the complimentary lip scrub, Popcorn! It's made from castor sugar and sea salt, so you get the sweet'n'salty flavour of popcorn on your lips! It also has corn meal and coconut oil.

And now come the bath products!! The first one, the Melting Snowman, is a bath melt. Bath melts are made of cocoa and shea butter, so they melt in your bathtub and make for an extra silky and moisturizing bath. Snowman is made with cinnamon, patchouli, and sweet orange oil. So yummy! Bath bomb wise, I got So White (an apple scented bomb with a pink centre and bubble bar chunks), Party Popper (a citrusy bomb with confetti pieces), Cinders (a cinnamon and orange bomb with popping candy), and Golden Wonders (a champagne-like perfumed bomb with surprises inside!)


And lastly, bubble bars! I got three of the reusable bars, and three of the standard bars! From the left there's Bubblebeard (sandalwood and lavender), Rocket (clove, ginger, and fire tree oil), and the Magic Wand (candy sweet scent). For these three bars, simply hold onto their ends, and swish them in the water as you fill your bath. For Candy Mountain (sweet vanilla absolute candy scent), Christmas Eve (jasmine and ylang ylang), and Santa's Sack (tonka, neroli, and tagetes oil), take a piece of the bar and crumble it under the running bath water!

I will probably do a video talking about my favourites out of all the holiday products, but they are all pretty fantastic! If you have a Lush store in your area, pop in and give the products a smell! If you're not so lucky, check the Lush website and order some products online! Lush ships pretty much all over the world, so you shouldn't have much trouble getting your hands on these products!

So what do you guys think of the products? Have you used Lush before? Which product is your favourite? Which ones look like the most fun?

Thanks for reading guys, and I'll see y'all soon!

Daily Style: Florals! (+ some gets)

Hey y'all! So today was my first day off form rehearsal in a very long while, and I've been taking great advantage of it by sleeping a relaxing all day! I also did a little bit of shopping this afternoon as well, and I'll show you a couple of my gets in a bit! But first I want to show an outfit I wore for a friend's birthday dinner a little while ago.

Happy Valentine's Day! (LUSH!)


First order of business, Happy Valentine's Day! I'm celebrating my seventeenth straight single Valentine's day this year! (Forever alone... ; ^ ; lol). I've made it through the day! But not without a few choice products from Lush's Valentine's day collection!

Chou Chou... I Love You! Toothy Tabs 

Magic Mushroom Bubble Bar

I already plan on going back to Lush to try and scoop up any leftover Vday products! I sent my sister a nice fat slice of their Sweetheart soap as well, and bought these goodies for myself. :D

Toothy Tabs, for those of you who don't know, are solid toothpaste tablets! To use, you place a tablet in your mouth, break it up with your teeth, and then brush with a wet toothbrush! They are very convenient, and work surprisingly well! I've tried about 4 of the regular flavours, but I am absolutely in LOVE with the Valentine's day ones! They have the same fragrance/taste as the Rose Jam bubbleroon and Ro's Argan Body Conditioner, which is a gorgeous Turkish rose and lemon. They truly leave your breath smelling like roses! It's quite different from your standard mint, but I can't get enough of this flavour! I'll have to stock up before they sell out :3

The Magic Mushroom bubble bar is a returning favourite, and that's no surprise! It has a gorgeous strawberry-vanilla scent, and it just looks so cute! With about half of the bar, you get mountains of creamy strawberry bubbles, and its just absolute heaven! Especially after a long day at rehearsals =____=;; Another product I hoping to stock up more of, but this product always sells out so quickly! I hope I can snatch up another couple this weekend ><

And yes, I spent my whole Valentine's day at school, then rehearsal all night! Such is the life I lead ;__; Phantom of the Opera opens next Friday, so the pressures really on now! I've been at rehearsal every night after school until 10:30 pm for the last two weeks, and its really starting to take a toll on me! I miss the days where I just got to sleep all the time :'D But it'll be over before I know it, and that'll be a little sad!

Anyways, I have some chemistry homework to finish up, so I'll leave y'all for now! I want to post again soon, hopefully in the next couple of days?

Until then, happy Valentine's day! <3
