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: Wiccy Magic Muscles Massage Bar
This is a must have if you don’t particularly like Bengay or Icy Hot. WMM has a strong minty scent though. You probably can’t get away from minty scents if the goal is to relax achy tired muscles (I wish that wasn’t the case but I’ve been unable to find a strawberry scented muscle ache …
Lush Review: The Olive Branch Shower Gel
I wasn’t sure if I would like the scent very much because of the way it was described by a fellow Lushie. It’s slightly herbal. An off-putting aspect of it is it smells like extinguished cigarettes in an ashtray if you put your nose to the bottle =(. Once it’s being used, it’s more of …
Lush Review: Porridge Soap
I can’t believe I haven’t done a review on Porridge. It was one of the first Lush soaps I tried. I love the honey sweetness but there’s also a slight sourness to the scent which I don’t especially like. In use, the scent of the soap is more agreeable to me; there’s a consistent sweetness. …
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 …
American Country Home Store
I was looking for Comptoir de Famille table linens a couple years back and discovered American Country Home Store was one of their many stockists. I also love ACHS’ beautiful yet quaint cottage furniture. Their website is definitely worth a gander. *Photocredit: American Country Home Store
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 …
Converse Sneakers
I’ve never been a big fan of Converse sneakers because I have the image of people wearing Chucks with tapered jeans in my mind (which only works well if you aren’t too scrawny and don’t mind that it might accentuate your petiteness). This Sunday I received a sales alert on Juicy Couture… Featured were a …
