<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">These retail for $9.90 on sale, when you can get them. I feel like they are always sold out right now. It also comes from Hong Kong so it took like a month to get here. I don't remember shipping being that much, I also don't remember exactly what it was, maybe $5. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I watched a bunch of review videos before I bought this and they ranged from thinking this was the bomb to thinking it was crap. I found it to be a little difficult to work with. There is definitely a learning curve. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Here's half my face done. You can see it's a little heavy in place and it didn't blend in the corner of my eye very well. I contribute most of this to user error. I think I used too much product. You definitely use way less product with this. I ended up just taking my fingers and kind of wiping the extra off then going over it again with the silisponge and patting it out. I did exactly as it instructs on the Molly Cosmetics site. I put the foundation on my face, spread it around til everything was covered, then patted it out. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This is all that was left on the silisponge when I was done. It was kind of just a thin residue. I put a little hand soap on it and it washed right off. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It is super hard to tell here but I used cream blush (I don't have cream contour currently) and used the silisponge to blend one side and the beautyblender to do the other. I really like how it blended out the blush a lot. You used a very, very little bit. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Over all I really liked the silisponge. It saves so much product. It is something you have to learn to work with. I didn't see that it was patchy or streaky the way some people found it. It's probably something I will reach for again. </span></div>

They are $6 a piece and come in eight different solutions. The one I tried out was the <a href="http://www.sephora.com/face-mask-P407006?skuId=1764950&icid2=products%20grid%3Ap407006" target="_blank">Pearl</a>. </span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Pearl is a single use mask that claims: "Perfects and brightens with natural-origin pearl to create high luminosity and visibly minimize irregularities." </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here is me with freshly washed face. I used <a href="http://www.sephora.com/skin-rescue-deep-cleanser-with-red-clay-P384539?skuId=1567205&icid2=first_aid_beauty_skinrescue_carousel4:p384539" target="_blank">First Aid Beauty Skin Rescue Deep Cleanser With Red Clay</a>. Aside from looking dead tired you can see I have some dark spots. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is your typical sheet mask. You pull it out of the package, line it up on your face and remove the pink backing. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg93kZ4uJ-IO08aSVWJ5tQ24Uh_sS5mcUUJqjiLzhVZyG_p2B0DtrtZYHRVJQXRjb75CjqA2qU_WNJBBzn6-29r60V4JIUWITTu8JhZaEZ-f8XxhzcyzftCu1rpp_53cqdKl1DuyGbe-GYV/s1600/lotus1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg93kZ4uJ-IO08aSVWJ5tQ24Uh_sS5mcUUJqjiLzhVZyG_p2B0DtrtZYHRVJQXRjb75CjqA2qU_WNJBBzn6-29r60V4JIUWITTu8JhZaEZ-f8XxhzcyzftCu1rpp_53cqdKl1DuyGbe-GYV/s320/lotus1.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It was really thin. I mean super, see thru, thin. I couldn't get the backing off once it was on my face so I had to pull it off, remove the backing, and then smooth it back on my face. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As you can see mine was missing the little nose flap. I didn't feel like the eye holes were big enough either. This solution didn't make my eyes water, however. You leave this on for 15 minutes and then message the excess solution into the skin. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This was really wet and really cold. It's winter here in the North so I did not find that refreshing but maybe in the summer it would be nice. Pearl did dry considerably in 15 minutes not all the way but a lot. After the time was up I pealed off the mask and patted the extra into the places where I had the most darkness. It soaked in mostly. I could still feel it on my skin when a went to bed. It wasn't as tacky as the boscia one but I could still feel it. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And here is the morning after. There is nothing on my face beside the solution. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7Blpkvgh_p0xWuQl1LEMPx5RTpM6qL2YaLLnsTgLWfLx6Fuq92ra-2FbW8cTpfl_Jx0CYpBK8s5UUoRmZjDcwBEZcYoa3Lf1PM7YWcUbm9W6zSGKYkhCIDIzOfhTTRsb3Oh0GHG-b1p-n/s1600/before1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7Blpkvgh_p0xWuQl1LEMPx5RTpM6qL2YaLLnsTgLWfLx6Fuq92ra-2FbW8cTpfl_Jx0CYpBK8s5UUoRmZjDcwBEZcYoa3Lf1PM7YWcUbm9W6zSGKYkhCIDIzOfhTTRsb3Oh0GHG-b1p-n/s320/before1.jpg" width="215" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I honestly saw and felt zero difference. The website says 21 women who tested this out for 42 days saw 100% results. What? Who does a mask for 42 days? You'd be better off trying a dark spot corrector like <a href="http://www.sephora.com/tidal-brightening-enzyme-water-cream-P406938?skuId=1794148&icid2=sundayriley_lp_bestsellers_carousel1:p406938" target="_blank">Sunday Riley Tidal Brightening Enzyme Water Cream</a> or <a href="http://www.kiehls.com/clearly-corrective-dark-spot-solution/842.html?cgid=face-serums&dwvar_842_size=1.0%20fl.%20oz.%20Bottle#start=3&cgid=face-serums" target="_blank">Kiehl's Clearly Corrective Dark Spot Solution</a>. Neither one is cheap but both would last longer then 42 days and probably work better. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I bought this foundation at the beginning of the month and I love it. It's the <a href="http://www.sephora.com/all-nighter-liquid-foundation-P410548?skuId=1847474&icid2=products%20grid:p410548" target="_blank">Urban Decay All Nighter Liquid Foundation</a>. </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgz8mIKV6Z4fBX1TvrVQukSHHG6XhVfb9TjPGPrw7mL-PFjOcfktzeVCynX31s5ttmlmWtBe7Ekc5oOEmhDW7iSKsdHq7UOUqusZ5FdRqlwJv66jbxSliKWGp4bV-cIMaNF05pJcWHTvx5A/s1600/foundation.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgz8mIKV6Z4fBX1TvrVQukSHHG6XhVfb9TjPGPrw7mL-PFjOcfktzeVCynX31s5ttmlmWtBe7Ekc5oOEmhDW7iSKsdHq7UOUqusZ5FdRqlwJv66jbxSliKWGp4bV-cIMaNF05pJcWHTvx5A/s320/foundation.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This a a full coverage, matte, waterproof foundation. It comes in 24 shades which is really nice. Most them still run on the light side but there are still some deeper shades. I wear shade 2.5 fair with subtle pink undertones. I often have problems with my foundation breaking up between my eyes on my forehead. With this I don't have that. I do find it lasts all day even without a setting spray. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My second favorite product is one I've had in my collection for awhile but hadn't really used. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzH1Uq1KX10k5B2klh9LEtvGOUXVKUn8yNlVa_oLghawYP3zjo7WskrMMS3TueC-f6pP8yoyGcrtQ4SCJX4SDKfr6pmrxF6xeiANbJHA7ehTTfmj6_Hb4hRK8oi8D3QS6VcHDHEe08-62w/s1600/highlight.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzH1Uq1KX10k5B2klh9LEtvGOUXVKUn8yNlVa_oLghawYP3zjo7WskrMMS3TueC-f6pP8yoyGcrtQ4SCJX4SDKfr6pmrxF6xeiANbJHA7ehTTfmj6_Hb4hRK8oi8D3QS6VcHDHEe08-62w/s320/highlight.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is the <a href="http://www.sephora.com/shimmering-skin-perfector-pressed-P381176?skuId=1721240&icid2=becca_lp_bestsellers_carousel2_us%3Ap381176" target="_blank">Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector Pressed Highlighter</a> in the shade Champagne Pop. I bought this not long after it came out and it stayed pretty much unused until I found it a couple weeks ago. At first I thought it would be too gold for my fair skin but I found that it really looks glowing, It gives my complexion a nice pick me up for winter. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It's no secret I love Lush products and this is one of my all time favs. <a href="http://www.lushusa.com/body/body-lotions/charity-pot/9999905236.html" target="_blank">Charity Pot Body Lotion</a>. This stuff is amazing.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It's scented with ylang ylang and rosewood oils in a cocoa butter base. It is so hydrating and creamy. The best thing is that 100% of the proceeds go to small grassroots organizations working in the areas of environmental conservation, animal welfare and human rights. Each pot has a little sticker on the top with what charity that pot goes to. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The last thing I have for this month is a brush cleaner. <a href="http://www.sephora.com/solid-sponge-cleanser-P379449?skuId=1438407&icid2=products%20grid:p379449" target="_blank">Beautyblender blendercleanser solid</a> is great not just for your beautyblender but for your makeup brushes too. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjASvCdJboXJPs5GfwVaO0N93b9N4jLofRHlPGdBnfALMpHmwjdDdgedA8YPI1ipaUMmbLWQmvgPp563cDpdh-5oR5Y1JiyIwx4GOlW1Y_Z8hh5X5RxrCBGnarV3gW16fNpWOxQQnYlZAD5/s1600/clean.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjASvCdJboXJPs5GfwVaO0N93b9N4jLofRHlPGdBnfALMpHmwjdDdgedA8YPI1ipaUMmbLWQmvgPp563cDpdh-5oR5Y1JiyIwx4GOlW1Y_Z8hh5X5RxrCBGnarV3gW16fNpWOxQQnYlZAD5/s320/clean.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It's a solid piece of soap that you get wet and rub your beautyblender or brush on it, rinse, and you're all clean. It's super convenient and easy to do all your brushes. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

I've been doing it for about three years now and I really enjoy it.</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This month's bag is kind of a steel blue. The texture makes it really fun. Ipsy bags aren't very big. Just big enough to hold a few products to stash in your purse or carry on.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheQLqVVevPyii1CkJSPpyRYnGxL7ihAC92SXlVwgrHnGw8Itvj8NNUAYH3S75mjzMzfRZTBprE7b5zn2t5dzjaTWRipDVQRe6jZ8IB6fT0J__1tg4ExYzGWGC3eKBgUu4SiOoEEgxkgOc9/s1600/bag.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="282" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheQLqVVevPyii1CkJSPpyRYnGxL7ihAC92SXlVwgrHnGw8Itvj8NNUAYH3S75mjzMzfRZTBprE7b5zn2t5dzjaTWRipDVQRe6jZ8IB6fT0J__1tg4ExYzGWGC3eKBgUu4SiOoEEgxkgOc9/s320/bag.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The first product I got was a full sized product. It's from <a href="http://www.pacificabeauty.com/blushious-coconut-rose-infused-cheek-color" target="_blank">Pacifica</a>, one of their Blushious Coconut & Rose Infused Cheek Colors in WildRose. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbIqz8shktMgLYtc0n0uJTjb0uqf8KCYz0Caq1Fq3t1aSXGJ_VKqbpW-0qxfOws3Kgu_FthFBeTUpiUUQpjZ3ndLs-0ZXXZy6a46Ik1ll6haCojEQLmZDSBchMBoccuP8TmHqOQ938igKh/s1600/blush1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbIqz8shktMgLYtc0n0uJTjb0uqf8KCYz0Caq1Fq3t1aSXGJ_VKqbpW-0qxfOws3Kgu_FthFBeTUpiUUQpjZ3ndLs-0ZXXZy6a46Ik1ll6haCojEQLmZDSBchMBoccuP8TmHqOQ938igKh/s320/blush1.jpg" width="243" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Pacifica is a drug store brand you can get at places like Ulta. It's also vegan and cruelty free. These blushes retail for $12. They aren't very big, .10 ounces, about the size of a single eyeshadow. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMoaHl5sgne-T6Sxw5rQagsq3Z0Xr8ybVCbwB-kV2njzveq9HgOR9FJezpnSNxYmkkxDsVesM2nf6qNlDJREy0U0uzPf7V3_raiBIjSmiDOwB7IUqHlIsrpDVieN_WWMHMjk7Z6zITFNo1/s1600/blushin.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMoaHl5sgne-T6Sxw5rQagsq3Z0Xr8ybVCbwB-kV2njzveq9HgOR9FJezpnSNxYmkkxDsVesM2nf6qNlDJREy0U0uzPf7V3_raiBIjSmiDOwB7IUqHlIsrpDVieN_WWMHMjk7Z6zITFNo1/s320/blushin.jpg" width="188" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It's a really pretty color, a dusty rose with a slight shimmer. The formula is really very smooth. The only thing I didn't love was that there wasn't much color pay off. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRoHJVE4Ano2OZVtdm1RXnQWRYvXnytFS8oeXyobGWMl8tHtJzPHlKUEy7fkXl_lsGMb93Wn7bA3Nn5uAmfeMLrO0RZ69WwTipZRrYRj0elXPmhqVKV2iwqhwjAOJ_CRAHso1speA0Hc4Y/s1600/blushon.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRoHJVE4Ano2OZVtdm1RXnQWRYvXnytFS8oeXyobGWMl8tHtJzPHlKUEy7fkXl_lsGMb93Wn7bA3Nn5uAmfeMLrO0RZ69WwTipZRrYRj0elXPmhqVKV2iwqhwjAOJ_CRAHso1speA0Hc4Y/s320/blushon.jpg" width="180" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My next product was a sample of <a href="http://www.sephora.com/camera-ready-bb-cream-spf-35-P300339?skuId=1413939&icid2=smashbox_bestsellers_carousel_us:p300339" target="_blank">Smashbox</a> Camera Ready BB Cream in the color Light. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglUhm2623XVLuHdW3oSqDzTAJzzfD3dmScIRGKTc_doWsebaE2kbo6m8QGsc7Jxd3Lyv84FinsZSR4YcTJt-yUc1bqskB5OuR0QADA00UNKvLNHus6X131owTwmdymjMrfnSNL0GYM-P4P/s1600/bb.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglUhm2623XVLuHdW3oSqDzTAJzzfD3dmScIRGKTc_doWsebaE2kbo6m8QGsc7Jxd3Lyv84FinsZSR4YcTJt-yUc1bqskB5OuR0QADA00UNKvLNHus6X131owTwmdymjMrfnSNL0GYM-P4P/s320/bb.jpg" width="137" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It's a big enough sample you could use it a couple times. Full sized product is one ounce, so typical for a foundation, and is $39. That might be a lot for how I feel about this. It does have a lot of coverage for a bb cream. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1UCWlwZgcBz8wGxMCeXFoWlEnCF8WXguzbPR4zVWZjMhRuTNIo50_8QH-0dTwDemiQKnFxYw_8F-0QANkSTIOq3XskOaftVu3BV_Cp9kM6c_QnCD54tJuT4hK-0UL44ralbpF4luZl7dJ/s1600/bbon.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="233" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1UCWlwZgcBz8wGxMCeXFoWlEnCF8WXguzbPR4zVWZjMhRuTNIo50_8QH-0dTwDemiQKnFxYw_8F-0QANkSTIOq3XskOaftVu3BV_Cp9kM6c_QnCD54tJuT4hK-0UL44ralbpF4luZl7dJ/s320/bbon.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The color range could be better. Only eight colors. They sent be the color Light which still isn't light enough for my pale skin. The lightest color is Fair so maybe I'll get a sample from Sephora a try it out.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The third product was another full sized product from <a href="https://us.rimmellondon.com/products/lips/lip-conditioning-lip-balm-by-kate" target="_blank">Rimmel London</a>. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is part of their by Kate (Moss) collection. It's the Lip Conditioning Lip Balm. It's a triple action lip balm that is supposed to keep lips hydrated for up to eight hours. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It was, an okay lip balm. I like a thicker consistency in a lip balm but if you're looking for a light gloss this would be good. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Up next is Bahama Mama for <a href="https://thebalm.com/collections/cheeks/products/bahama-mama-681619700279?variant=16601755014" target="_blank">theBalm</a>. Full sized is .25 ounces and is $20.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Bahama Mama is a bronzer/contour powder. I was really excited to try this out. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It's got good pigmentation with a silky texture. It's nice and matte. I think it would make a beautiful bronzer but it may be a bit orange for me to contour with. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Sally's Box is a Korean beauty brand that believes everything starts with moisturizing. They do have an english website you can order from. The first mask we got was the AcaiBerry and the second is Aloe. Both contain hyaluronic acid. Reading the website doesn't really give you an idea of what the difference between masks are. I assume the aloe is a soothing mask. I wish they gave more info. </span></div>

Go into any beauty store and you'll be presented with a literal wall of them. A sheet mask is essentially a piece of cotton shaped to the face, with eyes, nose, and mouth holes cut in, soaked in a beneficial cocktail of ingredients. A long time Asian beauty staple these masks have made there way to the west. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">While I was at Sephora last week I picked up a few to try. The first one I tried out was the <a href="http://www.sephora.com/charcoal-pore-minimizing-hydrogel-mask-P395247?skuId=1675321&icid2=products%20grid:p395247" target="_blank">boscia Charcoal Pore-Minimizing Hydrogel Mask</a>. This is a single use mask and retails for $8. It's also a Sephora exclusive. </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiiqmdUc4BAk6GjJ6ViJSuEPXLLfwYIjn_77U9_XhJGIeRJDdMgS7dDH8doGJFp-4VZSsAPZirb1VMJj2nTeG2f-g-IcMU1UtXVUv8CA02ATttPZ0mGyPh3MkI7k1uUPGuj7Nor41iTI7i/s1600/boscia.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiiqmdUc4BAk6GjJ6ViJSuEPXLLfwYIjn_77U9_XhJGIeRJDdMgS7dDH8doGJFp-4VZSsAPZirb1VMJj2nTeG2f-g-IcMU1UtXVUv8CA02ATttPZ0mGyPh3MkI7k1uUPGuj7Nor41iTI7i/s320/boscia.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Unlike a traditional sheet mask this is a hydrogel mask. What does that mean? Hydrogel is a thin, gelatinous material that traps moister even better then cotton. The claims to this mask? "This hydrogel mask cleanses the skin—reducing the appearance of pores as it removes blackheads and whiteheads—giving the complexion a renewed look." I don't really have any blackheads but I have been noticing some pores on my cheeks around my nose. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpizTss_jlBM_iI1-5jyqEQck2arJUeE0HkNH7dbzomQFlsa13PgjtLEI51PrwHBFsmRs_8xV5CCEFKZNBEphyphenhypheniI3MWiO8uHCCd_Cow4NaoHs_OD31VEHQxX4dG_8mWhGvXNoc7EDg2Feq/s1600/before.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpizTss_jlBM_iI1-5jyqEQck2arJUeE0HkNH7dbzomQFlsa13PgjtLEI51PrwHBFsmRs_8xV5CCEFKZNBEphyphenhypheniI3MWiO8uHCCd_Cow4NaoHs_OD31VEHQxX4dG_8mWhGvXNoc7EDg2Feq/s320/before.jpg" width="299" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You can't really see them in photo but you can tell there's a little texture there. This is my face freshly washed with my <a href="http://www.sephora.com/soy-face-cleanser-P7880?skuId=487694&icid2=products%20grid:p7880" target="_blank">Fresh Soy Face Cleanser</a>. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">How this mask works is it comes in two chunks. One that goes on the top half of your face and one for the bottom half.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5SQYR5Z9jhP0ga0UZH6J0HTwIeCGITBO8sdN43F2_HPv8cgsC4xjfJVF2p04GDVj7We6ywJhHnY1Ena0u2ZUDdwQAbCipRpd-Az77nFUamdc3AULoRSBTokQeazym3DB2y2zoHSceEVhp/s1600/pecies.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5SQYR5Z9jhP0ga0UZH6J0HTwIeCGITBO8sdN43F2_HPv8cgsC4xjfJVF2p04GDVj7We6ywJhHnY1Ena0u2ZUDdwQAbCipRpd-Az77nFUamdc3AULoRSBTokQeazym3DB2y2zoHSceEVhp/s320/pecies.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You unfold the pieces, they are wrapped with a clear plastic on one side and a white backing on the other. You remove the clear plastic and line the mask up on your face so the holes match up, push it down on the contours of your face, then remove the white backing. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBShDrB7x9tSpen5qontDOImYrcDKBuk12jwXKSnFSC_JLPrSxUYvmGIjn_oAndlQ6PLnf4yHUjvWXURyQnR_LjY4uAHl2l5thjT6GGDf2hZ4rW-SzFOxB5E1Y5G82w0TANGwdvjmbUsmq/s1600/mask.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBShDrB7x9tSpen5qontDOImYrcDKBuk12jwXKSnFSC_JLPrSxUYvmGIjn_oAndlQ6PLnf4yHUjvWXURyQnR_LjY4uAHl2l5thjT6GGDf2hZ4rW-SzFOxB5E1Y5G82w0TANGwdvjmbUsmq/s320/mask.jpg" width="246" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In theory this works. Mine had slipped around in the package so it was kind of a tangled, wet, mess. I got it straightened out and smoothed to my face. To cover where my pores were visible I had to position this closer to my eyes then I would have liked. It definitely made them water. This is very cool and very damp. I wasn't sure this was going to stay on all 20 minutes without sliding off but it did. This does dry a bit but certainly not dry dry. After the 20 minutes are up you remove the mask and pat the left over product into your skin. No rinsing. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The product never really did absorb into my skin. It dried but it left my skin feeling slightly tacky. Like I had used a very thick cream. I didn't finish up with my night time routine. I just let it sit and went to bed. The results? </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioHckOU0jGlONwybrQmUpY1wC3B_nAs8YKZZJ6OHXy3RG4N78fwcJ9F4QUNOQnxN4WiHfJjrzdysSsK7JrFDYTZVeL6RQdg3Kb2QVZuOm10TCEnFuvfoW1TEwpJCx_2a_55TPAINDKjNgM/s1600/after.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioHckOU0jGlONwybrQmUpY1wC3B_nAs8YKZZJ6OHXy3RG4N78fwcJ9F4QUNOQnxN4WiHfJjrzdysSsK7JrFDYTZVeL6RQdg3Kb2QVZuOm10TCEnFuvfoW1TEwpJCx_2a_55TPAINDKjNgM/s320/after.jpg" width="192" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I can still see pores but they do seem to be minimized. I also feel like there is less texture in that area. I could still feel the product on my face when I got up so I wasn't a fan of that. This is my face, washed again with the Fresh cleanser and the facial products I use (<a href="http://www.sephora.com/pep-start-eye-cream-P403817?skuId=1774819&icid2=products%20grid:p403817" target="_blank">Clinique Pep-Start Eye Cream</a>, <a href="http://www.sephora.com/truth-serum-vitamin-c-anti-aging-collagen-booster-P42343?skuId=965681&icid2=products%20grid:p42343" target="_blank">Ole Henriksen Truth Serum Vitamin C Anti-Aging Collagen Booster</a>, and <a href="http://www.sephora.com/dramatically-different-moisturizing-lotion-P381030?skuId=1538354&icid2=products%20grid:p381030" target="_blank">Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion</a>). </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Would I repurchase? It was fun but I'm not sure I saw enough difference with one useage. I do think this does what it claims to do. My face was definitely clean and uncongested. I just feel like for that purpose you could reach for the boscia <a href="http://www.sephora.com/detoxifying-black-cleanser-P302940?skuId=1393057&icid2=boscia_lp_cleansers_100416_carousel_us:p302940" target="_blank">Detoxifying Black Cleanser</a>. They do also have a <a href="http://www.sephora.com/sake-brightening-hydrogel-mask-P395248?skuId=1675313&icid2=boscia_lp_masks_100416_carousel_us:p395248" target="_blank">sake brightening hydrogel mask</a> that I'm interested in that may be a better fit for my skin needs. </span></div>

A new post? Yes, it's been two years. I moved, and job, and life. But I've been asked to revive this so new year new blogging. I'm going to try to do this once a week or so. We'll do unboxings, reviews, favorites, hauls. If you have other ideas you'd like to see leave a comment here or hit me up on social media. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Anyway, let's hop right into this post. I'll try do these once a month of things I'm looking to buy. They may or may not be new. It will just be products I have my eye on. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The first product is a new discovery, although, not a new product. </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgv3Laat9oYEd440qRUbv5a-SeIp8RFI27KeWiatHfastq_XHJSpGkDNblTXl7NSr7qS17f_hPh07SHe2BGuz-UytYqE91ENmVVctkdi0mPX4j6v1KRL8rVl46nnKGj58fmshSKUfrfXZA/s1600/stellar-c_large.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgv3Laat9oYEd440qRUbv5a-SeIp8RFI27KeWiatHfastq_XHJSpGkDNblTXl7NSr7qS17f_hPh07SHe2BGuz-UytYqE91ENmVVctkdi0mPX4j6v1KRL8rVl46nnKGj58fmshSKUfrfXZA/s320/stellar-c_large.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This is the <a href="http://doseofcolors.com/" target="_blank">Dose of Colors</a> Eyedeal Duo. These are a pairing of loose pigment and primer. So you're getting two products in each compact. The top is a colored, creme, base and the bottom is a sparkly, metallic, pigment. You can use them together or separate. Like all pigments you can use this one wet to intensify the color. It comes in 12 colors and the one I am lusting after is called Stellar (shown in the picture). They are $25 a piece so they aren't cheap and you can only buy two at a time.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This summer I bought a liquid lipstick kind of on a whim from a company called <a href="https://www.ofracosmetics.com/" target="_blank">Ofra Cosmetics</a>. I saw it as an ad on Facebook and it was this beautiful, metallic, fuchsia color and it was only $20 so I was like, 'Why not give it a try?'. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGqHGhCP2PsFx_5K543MCjCqQUx1RG5IZmyHzDUk-SBEbIoEjXI3zPxwLJqAyCxzv6r6YNJdU6k3zDE0TR6fSIsv9-oi0rXi-dIpyadB6Ctpftus96g9pBX6lhLG4PlVVLaSPv_5iF9LIA/s1600/long-lasting-liquid-lipstick.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGqHGhCP2PsFx_5K543MCjCqQUx1RG5IZmyHzDUk-SBEbIoEjXI3zPxwLJqAyCxzv6r6YNJdU6k3zDE0TR6fSIsv9-oi0rXi-dIpyadB6Ctpftus96g9pBX6lhLG4PlVVLaSPv_5iF9LIA/s320/long-lasting-liquid-lipstick.png" width="320" /></a></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">These have an amazing formula. Their everyday collection has a matte finish but doesn't dry. So it is transferable. This will come off if you eat or drink. But even so it has great staying power. I've worn this out and had it last all night even thru drinking. It doesn't bleed or feather. It's wonderful. If you have this why is it a #IWantThat? Because I want more! They have an incredible 52 colors in their permanent collection. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This is the color Laguna Beach. It's much more day time then the color I own (called Santorini which, although, limited edition you can still buy as part of a collection). </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Another lip product I am after is a Vice lipstick in the color Jilted.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It's a cream finish described as:</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> </span>deep fuchsia shimmer with blue shift. In real life it's a blue tone, bright pink. When I was looking for it online I kept trying to pick the color Anarchy. I got a little sample of this in the summer when these launched. It's almost out. I really just need to buy this. These are $17 and you can get them at Sephora, Ulta, and the Urban Decay website. <br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Urban Decay puts out products and I just throw money at them. I have more than a half dozen pallets by them. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I give you the Full Spectrum pallet. I have nothing more to say. I need this in my life and Sephora has it on sale for $39 down from the original $55. I'm going there on Friday, this is coming home with me. If you want swatches let me know. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The last product I'm looking to try is a foundation. I'm always looking for that holy grail foundation that has amazing coverage, lasts all night, and won't break up between my eyes. I saw this one on a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OKc5R0mkYYw" target="_blank">YouTube</a> video. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwY2rHaiKSOzuWpOBVJQmTohB8K5iC0RvESCiCIsK7VjomqSqqWB4DjgSR6PlCJLnBYZmNbgdNmvmcaJHK33bm70gIS3idIh2q-R0ge5qiQZTCOV5rakXaY6M2g2nIeA3dccMm7UyVfeUb/s1600/Dermacol.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwY2rHaiKSOzuWpOBVJQmTohB8K5iC0RvESCiCIsK7VjomqSqqWB4DjgSR6PlCJLnBYZmNbgdNmvmcaJHK33bm70gIS3idIh2q-R0ge5qiQZTCOV5rakXaY6M2g2nIeA3dccMm7UyVfeUb/s320/Dermacol.jpg" width="320" /></a></span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It looked like it was a very long wearing, full coverage formula. It's between $16-20 depending on where you look. Downside is as far as I can tell they don't sell this in store. Also the color I most likely am is often sold out. You can buy this on Amazon which is probably the safest bet. <br />
<br />
So those are my January #IWantThat. It's a new year, what are your new year/new you wants?<br />

That's right, another Lush<a href="http://www.lushusa.com/Easter/easter,en_US,sc.html" target="_blank"> collection</a>! Of course D. took me to buy it. For Easter there are three bubble bars, two bath bombs, a soap, and one new product that is a combo of a bath melt and a bath bomb. I got all of them except <a href="http://www.lushusa.com/Fluffy-Egg/02887,en_US,pd.html#start=6" target="_blank">Fluffy Egg</a>. Let's open the bag and see all the great things. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Brightside is the first bubble bar. </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiE7Olg3YbqFTye1ST0sS8zDeurtZkmkn1tLKlZnfNKBOhuTA77XBklEez2Y6DZQ2a7GcamD2vuP2fg6KuCeMxTgLf8GSCmX1ZU-NeMrAX0jnVXe_Kwq9tPQXyGB4FLuvjENJZngsZftW9/s1600/2014-03-31+19.12.29.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiE7Olg3YbqFTye1ST0sS8zDeurtZkmkn1tLKlZnfNKBOhuTA77XBklEez2Y6DZQ2a7GcamD2vuP2fg6KuCeMxTgLf8GSCmX1ZU-NeMrAX0jnVXe_Kwq9tPQXyGB4FLuvjENJZngsZftW9/s1600/2014-03-31+19.12.29.jpg" height="320" width="180" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Brightside is an amazing citrusy bar. It has Sicilian mandarin, tangerine, and bergamot. Plus it turns your water bright orange. <a href="http://www.lushusa.com/Brightside/03846,en_US,pd.html#start=1" target="_blank">This</a> is 7oz and costs $10.95 </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The next bubble bar I grabbed is Bunch of Carrots.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSCjkzMCxoLUGVL_8l9Y0kywbysGfyNS6AzpDJcbSIVhgGCHYcq3I37eE-MLv5fi7bix7iP7VxnMXruogSenXmemAgBuebuStZhizeqHGLX3IWbT-QotozqLmP_-KhyJJotg64x29yR4db/s1600/2014-03-31+19.12.14.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSCjkzMCxoLUGVL_8l9Y0kywbysGfyNS6AzpDJcbSIVhgGCHYcq3I37eE-MLv5fi7bix7iP7VxnMXruogSenXmemAgBuebuStZhizeqHGLX3IWbT-QotozqLmP_-KhyJJotg64x29yR4db/s1600/2014-03-31+19.12.14.jpg" height="180" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I love the scent of these. It's just a little citrusy and a bit fruity and so fresh. It's got lemon, buchu oil, and bergamot. Each carrot provides a couple baths so you get a lot of use out of these. Simple take one and run it under water until you have a tub full of bubbles then save the rest for later. You get<a href="http://www.lushusa.com/Bunch-of-Carrots/05166,en_US,pd.html#start=2" target="_blank"> three carrots</a> at 5.2oz for $12.95</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The third bubble bar is called Bunny.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNNacrVrCDftbKrEo1gjC3_5mlVQxAEnNL2-5ofhFgHh3igXDPS9VxKvLPwYEAd7XLqfGm4TUjwMhZrqxW7BG_grcLkuFTgg-p04S_CC-nBDn6mcwn01Sme6UIqAYRjLxAmsUzesOuAmls/s1600/2014-03-31+19.13.44.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNNacrVrCDftbKrEo1gjC3_5mlVQxAEnNL2-5ofhFgHh3igXDPS9VxKvLPwYEAd7XLqfGm4TUjwMhZrqxW7BG_grcLkuFTgg-p04S_CC-nBDn6mcwn01Sme6UIqAYRjLxAmsUzesOuAmls/s1600/2014-03-31+19.13.44.jpg" height="180" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Bunny has the same scent as Creamy Candy bubble bar so lots of vanilla absolute in this little guy. Also lots of coconut oil and shea butter to soften your skin. This bar has a center of blue cornflowers to make your bath extra pretty. <a href="http://www.lushusa.com/Bunny/05081,en_US,pd.html#start=3" target="_blank">Bunny</a> is 2.8oz and $6.95</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Easter soap is Carrot. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is super cute! The whole piece looks like a giant carrot and when they cut it up it has a bunny in the middle. It has the same scent as the carrot bubble bar. You can get a 3.5oz <a href="http://www.lushusa.com/Carrot-Soap/05083,en_US,pd.html#start=3" target="_blank">piece</a> for $6.95</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The bath bomb I bought was the Immaculate Eggception. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEix117tbmYjy_Yk0J58zhCH2e9QSkiNS4W_0Ko8jw6A4QLnAhcKQLfnKSGqvU0t-MqLNkSXMhiPBWK3sleEaG4D9Bce4NQ2YUQuojE9zPdG8G7Erhv_CZB6XN3O_BT2-0vBBIHWylfg29N6/s1600/2014-03-31+19.14.07.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEix117tbmYjy_Yk0J58zhCH2e9QSkiNS4W_0Ko8jw6A4QLnAhcKQLfnKSGqvU0t-MqLNkSXMhiPBWK3sleEaG4D9Bce4NQ2YUQuojE9zPdG8G7Erhv_CZB6XN3O_BT2-0vBBIHWylfg29N6/s1600/2014-03-31+19.14.07.jpg" height="180" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I bought the yellow but it also comes in pink. This is one of Lush's huge bombs that cracks open to reveal another bomb in the middle, in this case a little one that looks like a chick. It also has a distinctly Lush scent, citrusy, floral and sweet at the same time. This <a href="http://www.lushusa.com/The-Immaculate-Eggception---Yellow/03615,en_US,pd.html#start=7" target="_blank">egg</a> is 8.6oz and is $12.95</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The last thing I bought is the Golden Egg.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Golden Egg is a new product. It's a combo bath melt and bath bomb in one. The outside is covered in cocoa butter and the middle is a fizzy bomb. Of course it is super glittery! The scent is the Honey I Washed the Kids. It's a fabulously sweet toffee scent. <a href="http://www.lushusa.com/Golden-Egg/05082,en_US,pd.html#start=11" target="_blank">It's</a> 3.8oz and is $8.95</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There it is! I love the spring collection a lot. There's so much freshness and citrus. If any of you have tried pieces from this let me know what your favorites are. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">They changed the look a little for March. I was waiting for this and was surprised to get a little white box that fit in my tiny mailbox instead of the larger black one. I guess being accessories it makes sense to use a smaller box. It was just a surprise. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This was the first thing in my box. At first I couldn't figure it out. But it's scarf. It's a really pretty muted sage green color. Sadly, I look very bad in pale green so I will most likely be giving this away.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">These are hair ties. They are pretty fashionable right now. What makes them nice is they don't leave a line in your hair. What I don't like is these are not made for people with very thick hair, at least not this set. I have a lot of hair and I could just barely get one around my hair in a pony. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Finally something nice! I've gota nice pair of earrings in every box. These look like they'd be heavy but they aren't. I'm really impressed by Wantable's ability to get me exactly the length and size of things I like. I'm not a girl who wears large earrings and every pair has had just the right of dangle for me. This set is really shimmery too. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The last piece I got was this necklace. I really love things with that old school classic look to them. This also was just the right length. This made the box for me.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">That's everything! Wantable allows you to return boxes and to be honest I almost did with this. It just didn't wow me. In the end I really liked the necklace so I decided to keep it. My other boxes have been wonderful so I hope this is just an off box. If not I may be trying another one of their boxes instead. </span></div>

I know. It's winter and I bath a lot. Plus, I've found a lot of really amazing bath and body companies. Like <a href="http://www.sugarworksbathandbody.com/" target="_blank">Sugar Works</a>. Sugar Works is a small company with hand made, cruelty free, products. The owner used to be a forensic scientist when she decided she wanted a job that brought joy to herself and others. She started out with their double whipped sugar scrub. Now they make scrubs and several kinds of lotions and body oils, even body spray. And the scents!! There are probably a hundred different scents you can ask for your products to be scented with. Floral, fruity, sweet, musk, a scent for everyone.</span> <br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I decided to get a tub of the original double whipped sugar scrub and on of their whipped argan oil body cream.</span> <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAsuILhn25LXJ_FZmBMnHZQobGXt3Cd7wXcMRY1hO0DyAZ5Q_nIO5rQqjkYrnNatxOEXBJMgL93nJo4QnFoevRa1yP7AJaoPq3pyVhBO3vpZLhEzzrPKGQCtxOqQda-RglO6mUIU0lCmAl/s3200/2014-03-08+10.14.50.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAsuILhn25LXJ_FZmBMnHZQobGXt3Cd7wXcMRY1hO0DyAZ5Q_nIO5rQqjkYrnNatxOEXBJMgL93nJo4QnFoevRa1yP7AJaoPq3pyVhBO3vpZLhEzzrPKGQCtxOqQda-RglO6mUIU0lCmAl/s3200/2014-03-08+10.14.50.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The scrub is made of three different kinds of sugar and is blended with argan oil. What that gives it is a scrub that's exfoliating but not too coarse. It has a really nice consistency. It reminds me of when you cream butter and sugar together for baking. When you scrub it on</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">your body it actually lathers up a bit. Being whipped with the argan oil makes it so it is full incorporated. No mixing up oil. This also helps this scrub to be clean rinsing. Your skin feels soft and hydrated but not greasy. The scent I got was A Magical Way with Roses. It's a very sweet, rosy scent. It reminds me of Lush's Rose Jam. A <a href="http://www.sugarworksbathandbody.com/double-whipped-sugar-scrub-5-6-oz-size/" target="_blank">5-6oz size</a> is $8.95. These tubs come very full so I feel like it's well worth the money. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">There isn't much to say about the argan body cream other then it's amazing. It's so light and silky yet hydrates amazingly. I picked out the scent Egyptian Rose. It makes me think of a face cream my great grandmother used. It has that underlying cold cream smell. It reminds me of happy things. The <a href="http://www.sugarworksbathandbody.com/whipped-argan-oil-butter-cream/" target="_blank">4-5oz</a> container is $13.95. It's a little spendy but it is really great. </span></div>

This collection is only available from <a href="http://www.qvc.com/tarte-Colored-Clay-7-Pc-Collection-with-Bag-Beauty.product.A239922.html?sc=A239922-Targeted&cm_sp=VIEWPOSITION-_-2-_-A239922&catentryImage=http://images-p.qvc.com/is/image/a/22/a239922.001?$uslarge$" target="_blank">QVC</a> so while Bunny tempted me I was skeptical about ordering from them. The ordering process was actually really easy and shipping was fairly fast. I liked it well enough I just ordered a <a href="http://www.qvc.com/Clarisonic-Mia2-Spring-Collection-with-bliss-Face-Wash-Search-Results.product.A254454.html?sc=A254454-SRCH&cm_sp=VIEWPOSITION-_-1-_-A254454&catentryImage=http://images-p.qvc.com/is/image/a/54/a254454.001?$uslarge$" target="_blank">Clarisonic Mia 2</a> from there.

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So this kit comes with a cc primer stick, a liquid foundation, a brush to apply it, a gloss, an eyeliner, a mascara, and a bronzing blush. Plus a cute little bag to carry it all in. Really all you need to do is add an eyeshadow quad and you're ready to go. It comes it 5 colors. I'm super pale so I got the light. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The first product to go on is the cc primer stick. CC stands for color corrector and that's what this is designed to do. It's got little wedges of green and pink to offset red and blues in your skin tone. This is mixed in with a skin tone to help prime your face for foundation. I was a little nervous because its a stick but it went on really smooth and not thick. It did take away some of the redness I get around my nose and cheeks. It also dries to a very silky finish so I didn't feel like I was just caking makeup on. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Next on, foundation. This foundation is really interesting. It comes in this little jar and in the middle is a mesh that you push down on to release product. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">They give you this quarter sized, flat topped brush to apply it with. In combination this works really well. The mesh keeps you from getting too much on the brush and the shape of the brush makes it easy to buff it in. I do wish the brush head was a bit larger. The formula of this foundation is definitely full coverage. Having clay in it means you can feel it in your face but it does well at keeping the shine down. I didn't feel like I needed powder as the finish was very matte. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is what they call a bronzer blush. It is a little bit bronze but I think it's far too pink to really use it as one. You could sweep it over the high points on your face to bring some warmth. I used it as a plain old blush. It's not super pigmented so it's very buildable.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I really liked this gloss. It looks very sparkly in the tube but on your lips it just adds a nice shimmer. The color is really vibrante with good pigment. Its only drawback is that it is a little sticky. That doesn't bother me any but I know some people are put off by that. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I was really surprised when I opened my mail box to find my Ipsy bag. <a href="http://www.ipsy.com/home" target="_blank">Ipsy</a> is a monthly subscription box, well a bag, you take a quiz, pay $10 a month and they give you a pretty nice bag full of full sized products and deluxe sized samples. This is my second bag. For those of you wanting to know what happened to February bag it came but due to the move D packed it up and I just got it. If anyone is interested I'll do a post up of it. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It is a slightly tinted primer that leaves your skin with a dewy finish. My makeup went on well over it and it seems to be doing well at keeping me from being shiny and keeping my foundation from slipping around. </span></div>

I bought a jar of GlamGlow YouthMud TingleExfoliate Treatment the other day when I was at Sephora so I thought I'd give it a try.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4jSk3BRGHkpxyFA_E6f6vjuVQ10za-IfrayCu0s3o6Z1RIqX0z42TBSwMxz45LJxj-XU4OqeEEkcZo3xdnPAN5Kmba5NtCxtAS97AiPmVDEYoS9bIeua_jgYNB1aQWuhHCY0zpxijMOG8/s1600/s1463801-main-Lhero.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4jSk3BRGHkpxyFA_E6f6vjuVQ10za-IfrayCu0s3o6Z1RIqX0z42TBSwMxz45LJxj-XU4OqeEEkcZo3xdnPAN5Kmba5NtCxtAS97AiPmVDEYoS9bIeua_jgYNB1aQWuhHCY0zpxijMOG8/s1600/s1463801-main-Lhero.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This mask is described as, "l</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">eaving skin noticeably radiant and glowing. It works with the body's natural moisturizing collagen to provide gentle resurfacing exfoliation and helps to leave skin smoother, brighter, and softer. While providing tighter skin texture and tighter pores, it provides a more youthful appearance and absorbs impurities without removing natural oils." That's a lot of claims for a jar of sandy mud! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">So I took off my makeup and washed my face. They mask is a little clay like but not super thick. It is really full of exfoliates. I made a thin, even layer on my face. Sort of worked it around some to scrub before I let it sit. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It's suppose to be tingly on the skin. I don't know if I would describe it as that. It feels warming to me. A bit like if you have ever done a cinnamon scrub. It dries pretty fast and you can feel it tightening. To take it off I wet my fingers a bit and began to scrub around some really working on the places that had been dry or uneven. Then rinsed it off with lukewarm water. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">So was it amazing? Is my skin totally transformed? It definitely left my skin tighter And softer. It was a little drying in my opinion. After I finished my night time routine that feeling went away. My skin initially got a little rosey around my checks but after it calmed down I could see the brightening effect of the mask. My skin looks glowy and happy. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This product is $69 for a 1.7oz jar. I got mine from <a href="http://m.sephora.com/youthmud-tinglexfoliate-treatment-P375741?icid2=GlamGlow_Bestsellers_Carousel_P375741_image&skuId=1463801" target="_blank">Sephora</a>. So bottom line, was it worth it. My skin has been feeling dry so I needed a really scrubby exfoliate, which this was, and I</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">do like how my skin feels. I'm reserving my judgment until tomorrow when I wake up. I will say it has perked my interest to try their ThirstyMud Hydrating mask. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">One of the things they do is a <a href="http://www.fortunecookiesoap.com/pages/the-soap-box" target="_blank">quarterly subscription box</a>.

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Like other boxes it comes with a card to tell you what you will find in your box. Your box also comes with a coupon code for $10 off your next Fortune Cookie order. Their prices are pretty reasonable. For example you can get about three of their signature fortune cookie soaps for that price. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Native Nectar smells like fresh coconut. Just that pure and simple. I like that it does smell like coconut but it does not smell overly sweet or fake smelling. I didn't see where you could buy this on the site but their body washes run $10.99 for 6.8oz.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This is a pink watermelon, apricot, and white floral scented sanitizer. The initial smell is a floral watermelon smell. It does have an alcohol back scent in the bottle. On your hands the apricot really comes out and the alcohol goes away. It smells really fruity without being overpowering. The<a href="http://www.fortunecookiesoap.com/collections/hand-sanitizer/products/afternoon-delight-ocd" target="_blank"> full sized version</a> is $2.89 with part of the proceeds going to support the <a href="http://www.ocfoundation.org/" target="_blank">International OCD Foundation</a>. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The butter came in the scent Marshmallow Dreams. This is described as having lavender, sage, and basil with a splash of vodka and a swirl of marshmallow. I really get the marshmallow, it's a nice toasty scent. It does seem to have an herbal note. Maybe it's the sage I get. It's very oily and and nice on your cuticles. <a href="http://www.fortunecookiesoap.com/collections/cuticle-butter/products/marshmallow-dreams-cuticle-cream" target="_blank">Full sized</a> is .5oz and is $8.95.</span></div>

You can really smell the peach and lily. It's very sweet. I noticed it's a bit crumbly so this is probably a one time use bomb (I cut most of mine in half).

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The idea behind this is to give your shower an aromatherapy element. You unwrap the tab and set it on the floor of your shower, out of the direct stream, and let it slowly fizz away and fill your bathroom up with fabulous smelling steam. This is suppose to have citrus, lavender, vanilla, patchouli, and sandalwood. I think the patchouli and sandalwood really take over. You can maybe get a bit of lavender. I do like how it smells. You get <a href="http://www.fortunecookiesoap.com/collections/shower-steamers/products/me-so-thorny-steam-me-up-scotty" target="_blank">three of these tabs</a> when you buy them for $5.99. </span></div>

The <a href="http://www.fortunecookiesoap.com/collections/fortune-cookie-soaps/products/forbidden-fruit-fortune-cookie-soap" target="_blank">soaps</a> run $3.69.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">So that was the Spring box. I really enjoyed it and found some great new products. Can't wait for the next box. </span></div>

I have taken a couple friends who have never been to Lush in there lately and I always walk out with something.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The first product is one I've wanted to try for awhile now. It's a face item called the Mask of Magnaminty. </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgg2U0U1k0LH2-jIEQ0mfS7SesNbf3DSAg6nfA97Fh0z6RrKsHmene7ArP_qMm_q0hwG1j-AMMhjRIXAikQEBI_PuDYLP5mjqPNgnBWTfqZcUBOiX0-Q_znNmkNeY7pl2EW1N7EFggy8f8s/s1600/2014-03-01+21.33.51.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgg2U0U1k0LH2-jIEQ0mfS7SesNbf3DSAg6nfA97Fh0z6RrKsHmene7ArP_qMm_q0hwG1j-AMMhjRIXAikQEBI_PuDYLP5mjqPNgnBWTfqZcUBOiX0-Q_znNmkNeY7pl2EW1N7EFggy8f8s/s1600/2014-03-01+21.33.51.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This mask is a little different from Lush's other face masks as it is not a fresh face mask. For those of you who don't know, Lush makes fresh face masks that can only be purchased in store and have to be refrigerated. They are made out of loads of fresh foods with no preservatives. This mask is a clay mask. It's full of mint and and essential oils to leave your face feeling soft while the clay pulls out impurities. It also has ground adzuki beans to exfoliate. You can get this both off the website and in store. An 11.1oz tub is $24.95</span></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Next I got that message bar I've been raving about for two posts. Tender is the Night!</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuR4aEanV5mEoRuNhJfY7PMS0uHzJkH5Pezw3k8PkrrjEkNFnBj0ia-S-5-dbEcFIHHO4qQR2zIasAsXzKnEBv3gR2TgCaoEGUwMFcwKfVPsWAbovSUoG4dW0WfyKoshddgxjvWVnuWk4S/s1600/2014-03-01+21.35.41.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuR4aEanV5mEoRuNhJfY7PMS0uHzJkH5Pezw3k8PkrrjEkNFnBj0ia-S-5-dbEcFIHHO4qQR2zIasAsXzKnEBv3gR2TgCaoEGUwMFcwKfVPsWAbovSUoG4dW0WfyKoshddgxjvWVnuWk4S/s1600/2014-03-01+21.35.41.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I've gone on and on about this. It has jasmine, ylang ylang, and vanilla absolute and smells like heaven. It also feels like heaven when you rub it on thanks to all that fair trade shea butter. I love how moisturizing these bars are. Just what my skin needs for winter. This bar is $11.95 and you can buy it <a href="http://www.lushusa.com/Tender-is-the-Night/05162,en_US,pd.html#start=5" target="_blank">online</a> or in store. </span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">A trip to Lush would not be a trip to Lush without bath products!</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This is Ickle Baby Bot . This is a bomb against insomnia with calming chamomile, lavender, and sandalwood. It is a really soft and relaxing smell. It's one of the smaller bombs at 2.1oz so I'd just toss in the whole thing but you could cut him in half. In stores and <a href="http://www.lushusa.com/Ickle-Baby-Bot/03083,en_US,pd.html#start=19" target="_blank">online</a> for $3.95. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I also go a big 6.3oz bomb called Fizzbanger.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOCufC0gZlcQbTGdIdu4S9prEKkfkGDNwfZNotWTLNSIszAcaqIP3NosxZuBXq83tdlpKvZ4qNLEM96e9OJar6mkZno_Um4drmMSI102QC_OWlBEGEyS1nJLDFgmKPKOdJCOILpJI451qJ/s1600/2014-02-14+12.55.44.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOCufC0gZlcQbTGdIdu4S9prEKkfkGDNwfZNotWTLNSIszAcaqIP3NosxZuBXq83tdlpKvZ4qNLEM96e9OJar6mkZno_Um4drmMSI102QC_OWlBEGEyS1nJLDFgmKPKOdJCOILpJI451qJ/s1600/2014-02-14+12.55.44.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It's big and bright yellow and supposed to smell like cinnamon apple. I get a little whiff of that. It's not as cinnamon as Phoenix Rising or as apple as So White but those scents are there. I can really smell the geranium oil that's in this so it's a spicy, fruity, floral all in one. Hard to describe but a really pick me up of a smell. For these I like to break them in half and get two uses out of them. Fizzbanger is $5.95 and is both in store and <a href="http://www.lushusa.com/Fizzbanger/03160,en_US,pd.html#start=21" target="_blank">online</a>.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Last I got a bath melt called Floating Island. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3-a36G36w4az1x6yaGW_MPuJ0RYLBMgNQPiJtJsTXLPg8wZWvC64iuBKopDcBiZ_DJsg4wL8RUAk41_MOI8UC5G1mTBe4FJQMFMyRU7PIyDGOJn0Cp6mo7gbxKWHOe_Blb-JDwMYw-wg0/s1600/2014-02-14+12.56.10.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3-a36G36w4az1x6yaGW_MPuJ0RYLBMgNQPiJtJsTXLPg8wZWvC64iuBKopDcBiZ_DJsg4wL8RUAk41_MOI8UC5G1mTBe4FJQMFMyRU7PIyDGOJn0Cp6mo7gbxKWHOe_Blb-JDwMYw-wg0/s1600/2014-02-14+12.56.10.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Floating Island is one of Lush's fizzing bath melts. The combine their bath bomb mixture with a melty center. What you get is a luxurious foaming bath full of essential oils to soften the water and your skin. This one is scented with lemon, sandalwood and vanilla. It's big enough at 3.5oz I'll probably cut it in half. I bought this in store for $7.95 but you can get it <a href="http://www.lushusa.com/Floating-Island/00595,en_US,pd.html#start=4" target="_blank">online</a> as well.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">And that's the end of my latest haul! I do have plans to go back with D. while he's here. D is addicted to Happy Hippie soap and wants to smell Dirty as well. I think he'd like Sexy Peel and I know I want some Figs and Leaves. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For skin care I've been reaching for Burt's Bees Intense Hydration Day Lotion. </span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I got this as a sample in my January BirchBox and I've really been loving it. I use the day time formula even at night as my skin can be a little oily. This absorbs so fast and leaves my skin feeling smooth and hydrated. The Clary sage makes it smell so fresh! It's $18 for 1.8oz. You can buy if from the <a href="https://m.burtsbees.com/Intense-Hydration-Day-Lotion/01682-00,default,pd.html?cgid=facialMoisturizers&start=1&q=" target="_blank">Burt's Bees</a> site of just grab it at any drug store.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This one is<a href="http://www.lushusa.com/Tender-is-the-Night/05162,en_US,pd.html#start=5" target="_blank"> Tender is the Night</a>, which I plan on purchasing today (look for a Lush haul soon). I tried this in store and it smells like heaven. I love jasmine. I bought the Valentine one (it smells like Rock Star soap, very much like candy) and I can't stop using it. My skin has just been so dry this winter. These are made out of wonderful butters and oils. Just rub it on the skin and message in the goodness. You do need to let this sink in some before putting on clothes but I think it's worth it. These average about $10 and you can get them at <a href="http://www.lushusa.com/Massage-Bars/massage-bars,en_US,sc.html" target="_blank">Lush online</a> or in store. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My hair is very color treated so I try my best to wash it only when it really needs it. I found that this product works exactly as advertised. Plus it gives my hair some nice volume. It also doesn't leave a funny white residue that some dry shampoos have. A 7oz can is $5.99. You can get it at <a href="http://www.ulta.com/ulta/browse/productDetail.jsp?productId=xlsImpprod3560097" target="_blank">Ulta</a> an most drug stores.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The first is Benefit Cosmetics Hula bronzer. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I was not much into bronzer until I found this. I am super pale and was worried about looking orange or muddy. This is pretty much the perfect shade. It's dark enough to bronze but not so dark I look like a have dirt on my face. It's also a very neutral brown so it goes with all skin tones. It is $28 for .28oz so it's not cheap. You can get it from <a href="http://www.benefitcosmetics.com/product/view/hoola" target="_blank">Benefit</a> online or places like Sephora and Ulta. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I've been using Milani baked blush in Luminoso pretty much every day. It's such a gorgeous </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">shimmery, peach (clearly not what's pictured). It is supposedly a dupe for Nars orgasm but I don't think it's pink enough for that. The price is way better then Nars, $7.99 for this! You can get it on their <a href="http://www.milanicosmetics.com/p-93-baked-blush.aspx" target="_blank">site</a> or just grab it at the drug store. </span></div>

I saw it pop up in my Facebook feed a few times before I checked it out. <a href="http://www.julep.com/" target="_blank">Julep</a> makes nail polish manly, along with other nail care related items. <a href="http://www.julep.com/maven.html" target="_blank">The Maven box</a> is your chance to try some of their newest colors. You can take a style quiz and they will recommend a box for you. Some boxes have all polish and some have two polishes and a nail care item. One is even all beauty items. Unlike most beauty boxes that doesn't really matter because you can see what's in the boxes ahead of time and pick the one you like the best. You can even change the box you want every month. Just log into your account between the 20th and the 24th and preview your box. If you want to change it up go ahead. You can also add extras to your box. Maven box is $19.99. In addition, you get first chance at their newest collections, 20% of purchases, and free shipping.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">For my first box I chose the '<a href="http://www.julep.com/maven-subscription/intro-box-it.html" target="_blank">It Girl</a>' box. This box was an all polish box. My quiz had me with the '<a href="http://www.julep.com/maven-subscription/intro-box-bs.html" target="_blank">Bombshell</a>' box that was two polishes and a cuticle serum. I did want to try it but because I could see the boxes the It Girl colors called to me more.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Libby is a flat, gloss finish. The polish is a thinner consistency but it is really opaque. You defiantly aren't going to need coat after coat of this stuff.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The next color is called Bunny. This is a white polish with tiny flecks of gold glitter in it.

It's really pretty in the bottle. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Tracy is a special effects finish. It's a dusty blue color loaded with very fine silver glitter. Because the glitter isn't chunky it goes on very smooth without being textured really. It does take a few coats to get the full effect. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">All of these polishes retail for $14. That's about $42 dollars for the box you only pay $19.99 for. I got all this for right around $9 so I call that a good deal!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">So here is my box. This box was designed, in part, by <a href="http://m.youtube.com/user/CoffeeBreakwithDani?feature=watch" target="_blank">Coffee Break with Dani</a>. For February instead of plastic bags we got little, velvet pouches. I think that is a huge improvement and something I hear they used to do.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It's a very nice, simple piece. The chain is a bit on the frail side but I wore it to work today and enjoyed the little bit of shine it gave my outfit. This retails for $15.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The first pair is a set of studs. I like that they have that bright blue pop of color. I also like that they are enough to add interest but aren't so huge your ears get tired of wearing them. Retail price is $12. My second pair has some dangle to them. Just enough that there is some movement. The multi tone metal makes them versatile. These retail for $15. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This is defiantly a statement piece! I love the rope cording and the over all chunckiness of it. I really love big, funky, necklaces so it made <span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white;">me r</span>eally happy to see this. It would cost you $32 retail. That means that this one piece pretty much paid for the box. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">On my recent trip to Lush the sales girl asked if there was anything she could make me a sample of. Of course there was! I decided to try out one of Lush's hair treatments, <a href="http://www.lushusa.com/Jasmine-Henna-Fluff-Eaze/02687,en_US,pd.html#start=7" target="_blank">Jasmine and Henna Fluff Eaze.</a> I got lucky as there wasn't much in the pot so she gave me the whole thing. Lush has a number of hair masks available. They have one for <a href="http://www.lushusa.com/H%27Suan-Wen-Hua/00095,en_US,pd.html#start=5" target="_blank">dry hair</a>, one for <a href="http://www.lushusa.com/Marilyn/00645,en_US,pd.html#start=3" target="_blank">blondes</a>, one for <a href="http://www.lushusa.com/Roots/03741,en_US,pd.html#start=1" target="_blank">fine</a>, and two for frizzy. <a href="http://www.lushusa.com/The-Strokes-Hair-Treatment/00646,en_US,pd.html#start=2" target="_blank">The Strokes</a> is the other for frizzy. It has no henna and is only available from Lush on line.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The idea of these hair treatments is they are like a mask for your hair. Coat dry hair in the treatment and leave on for 20-30 minutes. Then shampoo and condition as usual. I have very fluffy, dark hair so Fluff Eaze was a good pick for me. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This stuff is just packed full of lovely oils to give you soft hair. Things like olive oil, jojoba, and coconut oil. The addition of henna adds shine. Henna actually coats and smooths the cuticle of your hair smoothing them and taming the frizzy. The jasmine is just a perfume type of an addition.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">They suggest completely saturating your hair in this. I did not do this. I have a lot of hair and it probably would have taken a full 8oz tub to do it. Lush website does say that it may take that much. I used about a quarter of that. I didn't soak my hair in in but I did make sure that it had a nice, even, medium coverage. The consistency reminds me of ranch dressing. It's pourable and not as thick as I thought it would be. I let it sit for the full 30 minutes. It smells amazing! I love jasmine scented things. I then rinsed it out and washed and shampooed as normal. I'm a night time shower girl so it wasn't until the next morning I got to see the results. My hair was so soft and shiny! I brushed it out and it just glowed. It really did calm the frizz well without weighing my hair down and making it feel greasy. Best of all the scent stayed in. Even on second day hair I can still smell it and it is still manageable. It worked so well I'll defiantly be buying a full container and would love to try their hydrating mask. Full sized is $22.95</span></div>

If you love sweet scents and pretty, girly, pink things you'll love this collection. Lush released a body wash, a bath bomb, a soap, two massage bars, and a lip balm. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The first thing I picked up was the body wash. It's called <a href="http://www.lushusa.com/Prince-Charming/9999905072,en_US,pd.html" target="_blank">Prince Charming</a>. </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Prince Charming has pomegranate juice, grapefruit oil, vanilla pod, and marshmallow root. The pomegranted juice gives this wash a tart, refreshing scent while the vanilla and marshmallow add some sweetness. The 500 gram bottle Iis $29.95.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The next piece of this collection I got was the <a href="http://www.lushusa.com/Neon-Love-Soap/05061,en_US,pd.html" target="_blank">Neon Love</a> soap.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This also has pomegranate juice in it, as well as soya yogurt. It's scented with bergamot, sustainable rosewood oil, and cinnamon. The yogurt makes this a smooth, silky soap and it has such a lovely sweet floral scent. 3.5oz is $6.95. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I only got one of the two massage bars. <a href="http://www.lushusa.com/Tender-is-the-Night/05162,en_US,pd.html" target="_blank">Tender is the Night</a> is going to be a perminate item so I was in no rush to buy it. I did, however, try it in the store and it's so moisturizing and smells amazing! I will be picking one up sooner rather than later. The bar that I did pick up is called <a href="http://www.lushusa.com/Close-to-You/05063,en_US,pd.html" target="_blank">Close to You</a>. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Close to You is a very meltable bar. It's made from shea butter and almond oil and just glides on and sinks in to your skin leaving behind a sweet vanilla scent. It smells like Rock Star soap and a bit like Snow Fairy to me. This little guy is 1.5oz and is $7.95.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The last thing I bought was the valintine bath bomb <a href="http://www.lushusa.com/Love-Locket/05066,en_US,pd.html" target="_blank">Love Locket</a>.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">is a huge bomb! The idea is you break it in half and use each half and the center for three baths. Of course you could toss the whole thing in! I love that it's loaded with jasmine absolute. Smells so good. You pay $10.95 for this 9.5oz bomb. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So that's lush valintines. What did you and your sweetheart do?</span></div>

The changing of the seasons always brings new collection realnd there are several products I'd love to add to my own collection. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The first is a lip and cheek palette from TheBalm cosmetics. </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhaac3PJObifMDGk1GQUuIwA3aVwFIlSfs463AQ4J8iwg-bW9zrGyPbY5Pz87qcTcDqXHhheM8ebg6YJebcEgiAjRn87VLJ5oZGj5bGhFNhRMOeBahkRxT8omIiK49bQ1eXvNG9XKgkrWt/s1600/applepalette_productshot_1_1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhaac3PJObifMDGk1GQUuIwA3aVwFIlSfs463AQ4J8iwg-bW9zrGyPbY5Pz87qcTcDqXHhheM8ebg6YJebcEgiAjRn87VLJ5oZGj5bGhFNhRMOeBahkRxT8omIiK49bQ1eXvNG9XKgkrWt/s1600/applepalette_productshot_1_1.jpg" width="216" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">These are cream colors you can use as both Iipstick and a blush. Obviously, some are better suited as just lips in my opinion, like cobbler, but I'd be interested in trying them out. I found I really love cream blush. The package is really cute but I could due without the 'sexy' cowboys. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The next thing I've been wanting to try is a pretty hyped up product. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsgrHNaHAqN2MROLBrTg0r2mSBIFkUQ93VKHrK4d2xpyLXXi6xQUN0oEeSrIhDJe-EZkpLzubIydny3S0WMA-V1d8ku47-BvrFEqjOJZ3Bg2vDWX6GAm4GBh5DsJGRy2zypHKwtMsSf3ky/s1600/1._ambient_blush-luminous_flush.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsgrHNaHAqN2MROLBrTg0r2mSBIFkUQ93VKHrK4d2xpyLXXi6xQUN0oEeSrIhDJe-EZkpLzubIydny3S0WMA-V1d8ku47-BvrFEqjOJZ3Bg2vDWX6GAm4GBh5DsJGRy2zypHKwtMsSf3ky/s1600/1._ambient_blush-luminous_flush.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The Hourglass Ambient lighting blush. These blushes are swirls of blush pigment and one of their ambient lighting colors. The one I love most is called Luminous Flush. It's a champagne rose blush combined with Luminous Light. It's suppose to evoke candlelight glimmer. I don't buy this as an oh my gods change your life blush but it does look really nice. I've wanted to try their ambiant lighting powders for a bit now and i though this product would be a good first one.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Next on to my naked obsessions.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Naked Skin. The foundation is said to be ultra light weight yet still have amazing long lasting coverage. The setting powder is suppose to blur lines, cover redness and give back luminosity. Sounds too good to be true but I want to find out.</span></div>

<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">These are a couple of pieces of MAC's spring line called a Fantasy of Flowers. There are six lipsticks, 2 mineralized blushes, 2 mineralized skin finishes, 6 cream sheen glass, 2 pigments and 2 fluid lines. I'm in love with both blushes, about half the lip items and I could leave the rest. I really want to go into MAC and swatch before I buy. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">There are a couple more subscription boxes out there I'd like to try. Julip just came out with one as did elf. Elf I think is neat for being a drugstore brand. Also I'm still interested in doing MeMe box and Sugar Works. Both of those can be one time things so I'm more tempted.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I of course had a Lush valentine want but I have that about for filled and will work on a post for that soon. </span><br />

A little recap of all the things I've been in love with this last month.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><u>Skin Care</u></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I think I finally settled into a good skin care routine with products I'm really enjoying. The thing, or things rather, that have made my skin go from alright to great is Philosophy's Miracle Worker miraculous skin care collection. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This comes with a face wash, a moisturizer, and a retinal treatment. This is an anti-ageing system to fight wrinkles, discoloration and improve texture. The cleanser is a lactic acid cleanser that you can also use as a mask. Just leave it on your face for 3-5 minutes then rinse. It really leaves my face super clean but not tight feeling. The retinoid pads come in this two part mix before use thing. The first time you use them you pour the solution into the container with the pads. They claim this makes it more fresh. I don't know about that but I do know it has really helped to fade out the hyperpigmentation I had from old acne scars. The moisturizer is is pretty thick but it soaks in fast and doesn't leave me a grease ball. You can get this from <a href="http://www.philosophy.com/skin-care-systems/miracle-worker-miraculous-full-size-kit,en_US,pd.html" target="_blank">Philosophy</a> online or from <a href="http://www.sephora.com/miracle-worker-tm-miraculous-skin-collection-P382708?skuId=1482561" target="_blank">Sephora</a>. At $115 it is not cheap but it has been worth it to me. If anti-ageing is not somewhere you are in life I've read rave reviews for the <a href="http://www.sephora.com/purity-made-simple-P7109?skuId=407304" target="_blank">Philosophy Purity Made Simple</a> cleanser as well. If any one is interested in my full skin care routine let me know and I'll do a write up. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I bought this Christmas set when it went on sale after the holidays. It contains two 8oz containers of lotion. One in Raspberry Glaze and one in Almond Glaze. Not only do these smell absolutely heavenly they are so hydrating on dry winter skin. They absorb right in and leave you nice and soft and the scent last for hours. I love this before bed. The set I got is still available at <a href="http://www.sephora.com/sweetly-glazed-duo-P383143?skuId=1548585" target="_blank">Sephora</a> for $24 dollars. It's a steal when you consider that these normally go for $32 a piece! </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Benefits Cosmetics Erase Paste. This is an amazing under eye concealer that brightens and hides those circles at the same time. It's a pretty thick, creamy consistency but I find it very easy to blend out and haven't noticed any settling. I really love how perfect this covers my dark, blue, circles. Really, I have panda eyes so bad but this covers all that. It's .15oz for $26 but this is going to last you a long time, a little goes far. You can get it on the <a href="http://www.benefitcosmetics.com/product/view/erase-paste" target="_blank">Benefit</a> website or at <a href="http://www.sephora.com/erase-paste-P208603?skuId=1073691" target="_blank">Sephora</a>. </span></div>

It's just so black and clump free. I'm addicted to to volume it gives me. I've tested out a lot of other mascaras over the last couple months and I just keep coming back to this one. Buy it at <a href="http://www.sephora.com/diorshow-black-out-mascara-P175208?skuId=987651" target="_blank">Sephora</a> for $25. Worth every penny. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have several I bought from NYX and they apply so easy and leave you looking like you've been out playing in the snow. Cream blush just looks so natural. I got this one from <a href="http://www.ulta.com/ulta/browse/productDetail.jsp?productId=xlsImpprod4141583#" target="_blank">Ulta</a> for $6.99. You'll see my collection in and upcoming NYX haul. I also plan on doing a versus with NYX cream blush and Stilla convertibles. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is the NYX Soft Matte Lip Creme. It's like a liquid lipstick. Very pigmented, glides on smooth, and last for several hours. I love that when it dries it's nice and matte but doesn't feel dry on your lips. These are only $5.99 at <a href="http://www.ulta.com/ulta/browse/productDetail.jsp?productId=xlsImpprod3020045#" target="_blank">Ulta</a> and come in a bunch of different colors.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So there are my January favorites. Of course that's not all I've been using but these are the things I find myself reaching for everyday.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Speaking of sticking with it....I'm going to be moving! What does this mean for you? Well, I probably won't get a chance to post as much for the first couple weeks here in February. I have pictures and things for another couple all ready to go but I will be writing off my Note tablet so it won't be as easy for me. So hang in there, I promise I'll be back to a regular schedule soon. </span></div>

I heard about it via YouTube beauty guru <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/CoffeeBreakwithDani?feature=watch" target="_blank">Coffee Break with Dani</a> (check her out she's adorable!). Wantable is really unique in that they give you a choice between three different boxes. You can do makeup, accessories, or intimates. Boxes are $36 for a subscription or $40 for a one time box. You can cancel <u>or</u> skip anytime you like. That's right, if you find yourself tight on money one month you can elect to skip a month. Best of all if you get a box and you are less than thrilled you can send it back for a refund, no questions asked! So after you pick what kind of box you're going with you take a quiz so that your box will be customized just for you. For each question you pick between love, like, or dislike. If you say dislike you will never receive anything like that in your box. I was really surprised at how thorough the style quizzes are. It's not a simple do you like lipstick. It's okay you like lipstick now what shades and finishes do you like. For the intimates you put in your sizes, including weight, height, and bra size, so they know how to fit you. You can retake this quiz anytime. </span><div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For my first box I got an accessory box. Accessories are something I like but just don't find myself using money on. It's actually a New Year's resolution of mine to accessorize more. Some of the questions I was asked where: What kind of accessories do I like? What sort of materials do I like? Gold or Silver? How big do I like my accessories. For me I love big, funky, necklaces but I hate huge earrings. I felt like it was really easy to communicate my style. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Wantable is not a box in a box. When you cut open the big box you're right in side. Everything is packaged, wrapped in tissue, and sandwiched in foam. On top is a print out detailing your quiz and telling you about each piece, including price. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is the one piece I'm not terribly crazy about. I do like scarfs but I am not a fan of leopard print. This is, thankfully, not really in your face printed so I am going to try and work it into an outfit. It's nice and long and other then the print I think it's fab. </span></div>

They also had a 20% promotion so I thought it would be a good time to try some products. I know there has been some <a href="http://www.lipsticksandlightsabers.com/2010/01/lime-crime-beneath-glitter.html" target="_blank">drama</a> surrounding the company and its founder Doe Deer but from all I could tell they make a good product and have good customer service. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For my products I picked two lipsticks, a Carousel gloss, and the Velvetines lip stain. The shipping wasn't the best. They had some site complications during the sale and that made for slow ship times. They also didn't send me out an update saying that my items had shipped. I'm one of those girls who is always fighting with UPS or USPS over where her house is so I do like to track my things to keep them from getting lost. In the end my box did make it but I wish that they would send out that info. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Everything came in a cute little box and their packaging is just adorable. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Croquette is a pale peachy nude. Almost too peachy for me. Kind of make my lips look like I put concealer all over them. What I do like this color for is layering. It looks really great with a pretty pink lip gloss or to tone down a brighter color to make it a day time look. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Geradium is an intense coral pink. This color is so bright it's nearly fluorescent</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">. This is exactly the kind of color that Croquette looks good paired with. It is very bold on its own. I like a really bright pink lip color so I'm very pleased with it. I also like how on my lips it's more pink then coral. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have read that Lime Crime lipstick smells just like MAC. I don't own any so I can't verify but I plan on doing some MAC shopping for my birthday and I will do a comparison for you. I can say that it does smell. Slightly like vanilla. I found the formula to be very creamy and opaque. I had read some reviews that complained that this lipstick took many coats to be smooth and cover your lips. I did not have that experience. What you're seeing is one swipe over my lips. What I will give them is that this is a thick lipstick. It's longwearing but can be a little drying. It was not enough to bother me and there are a few more colors I wouldn't mind owning. The most popular colors like Great Pink Planet are often sold out online but you can also purchase them through<a href="http://www.urbanoutfitters.com/urban/catalog/productdetail.jsp?id=20697512" target="_blank"> Urban Outfitters</a> (strange I know) for the same price as the Lime Crime sight. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Snowcicle is a clear gloss with lots of rainbow colored, iridescent, sparkles. It's a lot shinier in person. I doubt that I would ever wear this as is but it is good to add a nice pop of shimmer over a lipstick. This gloss has surprising staying power. You will be glittery from it for a long time. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The wand is just a tiny, little brush. As an applicator it works well I just wish they hadn't made it clear.

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is a very pigmented, bright pink stain that dries totally matte. Once it's dry it doesn't budge. I find it not to be as drying as a lot of stay put lipsticks and stains can be. It actually reminds me of Nyx Soft Matte Lip Cream in texture, but with a lot more staying power. Be warned that if you do put a gloss over this it will rub off and it does stain.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Over all I had a good experience with Lime Crime and was happy with my products. I'll be interested in pitting the lipsticks against the MAC ones. MAC sells theirs for $15 (for the just plain lipsticks), verses Lime Crimes $18, and has a much bigger variety of colors and finishes. I probably would order from them again. </span></div>
