This post isn’t really a detailed review, as much as the ones I normally post about. It’s just a mini rave that I loved this citrusy blend: the last of my Easter Egg (Yellow) Bath Ballistic ~1/3, Karma Bubble Bar (oh sooo yummy smelling) ~1/2, and Floating Island Bath Melt ~1/2. It was simply wonderful …
Lush Review: Glögg Shower Gel
If you want a spicy, perfect for cold Fall days/Winter-type shower gel, than Glögg is for you! OMG I REALLY love it!!! It reminds me of a hot mug of apple cider with a cinnamon stick… Watching t.v., a soft throw blanket over me, with a warm mug of apple cider =)… How can I …
Lush Review: Sweetie Pie Shower Jelly
I visited a Lush boutique in Manhattan recently (the one near East 14th. Street/Union Square Park) and remembered that I really wanted to try one of their candy sweet shower jellies (particularly because I’ve always feared it melting while being shipped and so I’ve never ordered them online). I also heard through the grape vine …
Pier 1 Hayworth Vanity Pieces
Every once in a while, Pier 1 can pleasantly surprise me. I adore these furniture pieces which are part of their Hayworth Collection. They look more expensive than they really are and can spruce up a plain room in a very pretty way. I believe any of these can be combined well with a shabby …
A Vanity Essential
I really love CVS’s dual storage system for cotton balls and cotton buds (~5 in. diameter x ~5 in. tall, weighs ~1 lb.)! Keeps all your vanity essentials dust-free and also saves some desk space (which is an issue for me). I don’t tend to use cotton pads or makeup sponges but they will also …

Luxury Scents I’ve Been Dying to Try…..
This all started with Comptoir sud Pacifique’s Vanille Abricot and Katie Puckrick’s scentsational review of it. As soon as she mentioned “sweet-smelling”, “bakery”, and “cake,” I knew I had to sample it! Below are other great fragrances; that is, if you love Vanille Abricot, you will love these too… *Photocredit: Hautelook & Comptoir sud Pacifique
Favorite Fashion & Style Magazines
My favorite fashion and style magazines are British Glamour, Allure, Marie Claire, InStyle, and Lucky. I really love their formats a lot and I love mini-sized magazines such as British Glamour because they can easily fit into a purse or tote without being rolled up. I think the American version of Cosmopolitan has caught on. …
Lush Review: Tuca Tuca Massage Bar
I generally like this new massage bar though it isn’t my top most favorite scent only because I prefer true candy scents. Tuca Tuca reminds me of candied flowers- the ones you would see adorning a beautiful tiered cake or simply atop a gourmet cupcake. This pretty scent with its moisturizing qualities has lingered on …
Beginner’s Choice: NYX Cosmetics
If you are just starting out in makeup, I highly recommend NYX palettes and products for their awesome color pay-off and prices which won’t hurt your wallet. My favorite palettes are The Makeup Artist Box S106, The Bronze Goddess, and Winter in Moscow (great for smokey eye looks). Please check out NYX’s website for more …
