Lush Haul

Hope everyone is having a splendid weekend :)

In my attempt to start incorporating more natural and gentler products into hair and skincare routine I have become a teeny tiny bit obsessed with Lush. Here are some of the latest goodies I have picked up...

♥  Aromaco Deodorant - Aromaco is a solid deodorant with a patchouli scent. It's not actually an anti-perspirant but masks the smell. I have to say I am a little bit sceptical about this but am more than happy to give it a whirl. 

♥  H'Suan Wen Hua Hair Treatment - My hair has not been in great condition lately so I' m hoping this will help it out. You apply it before shampooing and conditioning and it's meant to add a ton of moisture to the hair. I have it in right now so I shall keep you posted.

♥  Dirty toothy tabs - I won't rave on too much about these now as I have a whole blog post coming about what a convert I am!

♥  BB Seaweed fresh face mask - I was after a face mask which simply cleaned and detoxified the skin and the LOVELY lush ladies suggested this. I have already used this and it left my skin feeling fresh, smooth, clean and glowing. 

♥  Buffy Body Butter - I have already blogged about this here. This is a repurchase so you know how much I love it. 

♥  Lemony Flutter Cuticle butter - My cuticles are not brilliant and I have been on the hunt for a great cuticle butter and I'm hoping this is it! It's a thick creamy product with a scent I like and I think a little will go a looooong way. You can also use it on your elbows and other areas with really dry skin which is an added bonus. Review to come on this once I have tested it out. 

This is just the beginning of new products I have been testing out. I have sensitive skin and decided that taking more natural, gentler, safer & animal friendly approach to my routine may not be such a bad thing. Post to come of my progress and all the new & wonderful products I have been using. 

Would love to know your Lush product suggestions that I need in my life

Small NYX Haul

Hi everyone, 

Soooo happy about this little haul. The other day I stumbled across a shop selling NYX cosmetics which is amazing as NYX is pretty much unavailable in Australia. Groove Cosmetics is where I picked these things up and they are the only other shop I've ever seen selling NYX cosmetics apart from Charcoal Clothing. I only picked up  few things this trip but don't worry I am definitely going back on pay day!

Here is what I got; Eyeshadow in Luxor, Mega Shine Lip Gloss in Smokey Look, Powder blush in Peach and Powder blush in Mauve.

Luxor eyeshadow

Smokey Look gloss

Left to right: Peach blush, Mauve blush, Luxor eyeshadow & Smokey Look gloss

Loving the products so far, especially Smokey Look. Can't wait to have a proper play around with them!

Anyway one of the reasons I didn't go crazy and buy everything is because I wanted to get your recommendations first. I have my eye on lots of things but would love your suggestions!

Thanks :)

Bodyneeds2 Haul

Hope everyone has had a great start to the week :)

I recently ordered some Mac samples at the thebodyneeds2.com when they had a sale. I have ordered samples from The Body Needs 2 before and they have provided really great service both times. I love their 1cent specials which they have each week, who couldn't resist for 1c! The last three samples are thebodyneeds2 1cent samples. Here is what i got...

 Mac Fluidline in Macroviolet, Blitz & Glitz, Rich Ground & Waveline and Mac Paint Pot in Dangerous Cuvee

Mac Cream Color Base in Tickle Me Pink & Hush 

Mac Pigment in Vanilla, Naked, Spiriualize & Antique Green

 

Mac glitter in reflects gold, Reflects Pearl & 3D Silver glitter

Bodyneeds2 samples in Silver Dusk Iridescent powder, Regard Sable Nacre & Elegance

 I love getting samples. It's so great to get sample before jumping in and buying the whole product and I don't feel guilty about spending more money on makeup. I'm really glad I got samples of the fluidlines. They are ok but I'm not going to buy the full size products. I now have my eye on the Bobbi brown gel liners. I also use so little of the pigments that I really couldn't justify buying full size for most pigments anyway.

A few Mac purchases

Hey there, 

Here are a few Mac items I picked up a while ago and have been meaning to share for ages now so here goes; 

The first think i got was Plink!

 I actually had intended to purchase Hue but when I went in they were sold out. I ended up getting Plink instead. It's a nice pinky colour which is quite sheer. I like the colour but I do find it is quite close to my natural lip colour so it doesn't show up heaps. It's a good everyday lippie but I still want to to get my hands on Hue at some stage.

I also finally got my hands on the ladyblush blushcreme

I have been wanting this for ages but whenever I went to get it they were sold out. As you can see I have already made a complete mess of it but am loving it so far. I do have to be light handed on my pale skin but it's a lovely colour. I think it will be great in summer, especially if I get a bit of colour (this might be wishful thinking, I am always so pale, I can only hope!)

I know you've seen it before but I also got Painterly paint pot

 Nothing new here, it's a great base which as you can see has already got lots of use!

Another one you have no doubt seen before, sable eyeshadow

It's a medium golden brown which is a gorgeous colour. Another neutral for my collection!

I also got eye kohl in Smoulder. Didn't think you need a swatch as it's just a plain black eyeliner.

Have you tried any of this stuff? and what do you think of it?

Teeny Revlon Haul

Hey girls :)

After lusting after everyone's Revlon Spring/Summer 2010 goodies for months now hey have finally been released in Australia in time for the warmer months ahead. No doubt you have seen them before but I'm excited and wanted to share. 

As you can see I only ended up getting 3 things. I got 2 nail polishes in Lilac Pastelle and Peach Petal and I also picked up a lipgloss in Peach Petal. All the other nail polishes and lipglosses looked really pretty so I'm thinking I might eventually pick some other things up. Maybe the lipgloss in Coral Reef and the nail polish in Gray Suede but we'll see. I haven't tested out the polishes yet but I love the look of the colours.

I haven't really used the lipgloss much yet but from what I can tell so far it seems really nice. As you can see it's a peachy nude that looks nice by itself or over other colours. I love the consistency it's not too sticky but it feels like it won't rub off in 2 minutes. This one retails at AUD$22 (I think) but for all the Aussies girls out there I got mine from Gloss for around AUD$9 so if your after one definitely check Gloss out for a bargain.

Have you tried any of these products? And more importantly do you recommend any of the other products?

Hope you're all having a great day!

:)
