In stark comparison with the last bath I took, this bath was very pink, very feminine. A very mild floral with perfect sweetness; a good balance between two different family of scents. It reminded me of a taffy candy floral. If mauvy pink had a scent, this would be it. I almost used 1/3 of …
Fresh Cosmetics
One of my friends turned me onto Fresh Cosmetics. This was back in 2001 and I’ve never looked back. If I had to choose one top product, it would be the Cleansing Balm with Lemon Oil. It’s a candy sweet lemon scent which sends me bright-eyed and bushy-tailed into a busy workday. I went camping …
Soft Coeur (The Honeymooners) Massage Bar
This is definitely one of my favorite Lush massage bars! It had sold out online just when I was interested in purchasing it so I picked up a bar at a Lush store. I kinda want to eat it =) but I know I can’t. It melts very quickly as you are massaging it onto …
Lush Review: Big Blue Bath Cocktail
This was a masculine aromatic Caribbean turquoise bath. Kind of like bathing in tea except, it’s seaweed that’s floating in the water, not loose dried tea leaves. I always want to try something at least once before forming an opinion on it. As much as I enjoyed this bath, it’s not a favorite only because …
Lush Review: Happy Birthday Bath Cocktail
I admired this sweet citrus floral bath with its Fanta-like scent (the culmination of Hot Java BB and Happy Birthday BB) and its beautiful deep orange color. This bath was started very late at night but I needed to decompress from our recent travels (to visit with family) and a few crazy moments I had …
Lush Review: Gavarnie Soap
I used Gavarnie soap for the first time last week. It smells almost identical to Jungle solid hair conditioner. When wet, it has a “green” scent (mild leafy/plant scent)- not what I would consider floral or truly herbal. I like this soap as much as any other Lush soap. I only wish that it smelled …
Lush Review: Karma Bath Cocktail
Another great bath cocktail. I felt a bit more relaxed since I had the luxury of time on a quiet mid-day/early evening. This citrusy bath is very sweet; think Trix cereal and Tang powder mix. Many times I wash my hair in the shower afterwards so I may not get the full benefits of the …
What’s In My Night Stand? & SoftLips
Cotton gloves and socks (a gift to me from a previous co-worker), under eye cream (for nighttime; I use whatever samples I’ve accumulated and I’m not totally brand loyal), assorted travel-sized Victoria Secret lotions from the Secret Garden Collection, a big tube of Clarins Hand & Nail Treatment Cream (which I use especially during the …
Lush Review: Nostalgic Bath Cocktail
Sometimes I feel like Des Esseintes, Joris-Karl Huymans’ main character in Against Nature, striving to create a small world of Lush decadence whenever I can… Tonight’s bath cocktail was white and frothy with a delicate fresh scent, reminding me of 7UP and Sprite soda pops which I would gladly consume during those boring adult dinner …
Lush Review: Space Girl Bath Cocktail
A sweet scented, fun, bright lilac colored bath this time. To re-create it, use the following… 1 Space Girl Bath Bomb: Fast fizz. Pretty and mildly sweet florally scent. Grapefruit oil Bergamot oil Almond oil Fizzy candy 1 Creamy Candy Bubble Bar: Smells really candy yummy =) Almond oil Vanilla absolute Candy flowers 1/3 Happy …
