One afternoon I strolled into my local Rite Aid and found this cute little vanity mirror within minutes of walking through the front door. $9.99, light-weight, and functional- I had to buy it! Here are some highlights as found on Amazon.com… Magnified vanity mirror; 6″ tall Optical quality glass; 3X and 1X magnification Non-slip base; …
Blast from My Past: Love’s by Dana Fragrances
Remember Love’s fragrances and Jean Nate (still made) bath products? I definitely do. They were typically offered as game prizes e.g. spelling bees and the like at my elementary and junior high school. I thought it was the coolest thing back then and have very fond memories of that time overall. I walked into a …
Alterna’s Ten Duo
I ordered the shampoo and conditioner duo via sample sale recently since I’ve been trying to get my hands on them for the longest time. Nice packaging but sad to say, this is not going to be much of a positive review: Alterna’s 10 Science of Ten Shampoo: Good consistency. So-so scent compared to other …
Orofluido Review
First I’d like to say, I hope everyone enjoyed their Thanksgiving =)… I managed to snag a great deal on Orofluido at one of the recent sample sales. You never know whether or not you will like a product by purchasing online without seeing it first. I just decided to take a risk this time …
Lisa Stickley & Stephanie Johnson: Vanity Case Innovation
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. …
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
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 …
