Cute little makeup cases excite me! My current favorite is Stephanie Johnson’s Mumbai Collection. I love seeing the new designs that people can dream up e.g. the double pocket, the tall vanity, etc! Really wish Lisa Stickley would have more American stockists. Paying for international shipping on top of an expensive vanity case is a …
Lush Review: The Ex-Factor Bath Cocktail
A perfect bath to chase away any blues (post-breakup or otherwise). This bath cocktail has a citrus-lime fragrance punctuated by a muskiness/woodsiness. It’s quite masculine; I didn’t mind though (kind of like sleeping in a boyfriend’s t-shirt). Reminds me slightly of Aquolina’s Blue Sugar (would be great to use post-bath for guys). Once I bought …
Pedicure Recommendations
This post is about some of the great affordable products I use for my at-home pedicures. As an aside, I’m planning to review several Lush footcare products in the near future. I’m glad there are some quality products out there since I do greatly benefit from more frequent pedicures and don’t always want to go …
Lush Review: Tang Bath Cocktail
This bath cocktail is a small reward for all the recent organizational milestones reached so far and for the 5 big loads of laundry I did yesterday (quite exhausting). Very Tang in color and scent (orange, citrusy). This may seem rather strange, but the woodsiness of this bath also reminded me of pre-lit orange incense. …
Storage Recommendation: The Container Store Like-It® Translucent Stacking Drawers
Been loving The Container Store’s Like-It® Translucent Stacking Drawers! Some models come in translucent white or translucent smoke to compliment your decor. I’m impressed how sturdy they are as well as how much they can hold. I’ve been storing toiletries e.g. bar soap, body butters, and massage bars in mine. They are also ideal for …
Lush Massage Bars
Just some of my Lush favorites. My top three are Soft Coeur (The Honeymooners), Shimmy Shimmy, and Glitterbug. Please see past massage bar reviews. *Photocredit: Lush Cosmetics
London Accessorize Haul
One night after a nice dinner at The Platform Bar & Restaurant in London (which I highly recommend), my husband and I walked across to admire the beautiful view at the promenade. Unexpected to me, sandwiched in-between was a large shopping arcade. I peeked into the store’s windows wishing the shops were still open (Boots, …
Lush Review: Cheer Up! Bath Cocktail
After a disappointing end result of Project Runway: Season 9 (and the elimination of my favored designer, Fallene Wells), I decided a Lush bath cocktail was in order though it was very late. I’ve had the ingredients laid out since before vacation and boy did my feet need a good pumice scrub (which I saved …
My London Cosmetic Haul
Before venturing to the United Kingdom, I fantasized about what cosmetic brands I wanted to buy. Besides learning about a country or culture through its food & drink, I learn via its cosmetics. The obvious choices were brands that were not readily available in the U.S. I had narrowed the list down to Sleek, Gosh, …
Threadless
I was watching Project Runway: Season 9 the other night and quickly went nuts over Fallene Well’s pajama tee (which she used to complete her first runway project). I did a quick Google search and discovered it’s “The Morning After” by Paul Southworth. It’s an image that I find both disgusting and madly cute at …
