Find out whats LUSH - ious in my bath tonight!

So I have had some MAJOR back pain for the past couple days .. I have scoliosis and I'm not sure if it's from that or carrying around a heavy back in the city but I had soo many knots in my back. Today I got a massage which helped but now I am super sore. So tonight I am going to take a bath with some Lush products! I absolutely love LUSH and I have created my own little cocktail of two products.

The first little guy is the Abombinaball bath bomb. The other is Dorothy Bubble Bar inspired by the Wizard of Oz. The two of these mixed together makes my bath water turn sparkling blue and smell soo relaxing and leaves my skin with a soft fragrant smell. I smell vanilla, peppermint, and florals all combined!!

Lush website description of the Abombinaball bath bomb - "Seeing as The Boog Bath Bomb isn't returning this year, we just had to have another snowman bomb one way or another. Abombinaball it is then! He rattles when you shake him. “What's inside?”, we hear you cry - you'll have to drop him in the tub to find out! We will tell you he's got a stunning vanilla, peppermint and sweet orange oil fragrance, and a bit of a froth in his fizz, making him bob gently around in the tub to comfort and delight you on a cold winter night. An ode to misunderstood creatures everywhere, we gave Abombinaball a gentle, comforting fragrance. Consoling and relaxing on a dark and chilly nights. Soothing vanilla absolute is also known as an aphrodisiac; don't write this one off for the kids!

Lush website description of the Dorothy Bubble Bar - "We're taking you far from the rain and grey clouds to somewhere over the rainbow. Your bath-water will be as blue as the skies over munchkinland and the exotic scent of ylang and sweet figs will make you want to go skipping off to see the wizard. If you love our Figs and Leaves soap, you'll love Dorothy. You can lounge in the blue waters and inhale the scent of orange blossoms and fresh fruit."

Adios off to lala land of relaxation and bubbles!

New Nail Polish Trend: Magnetic Polish!

Tired of the Crackle Trend? Always looking for the next best thing? Well here you go!

The new nail polish trend is this Magnetic Polish. With this polish you can create 3D nail designs. The polish has a special iron formula that attracts to the magnet that is provided to give you the ultimate finish. Textured, special effects nails are big news for this fall season and the ultimate fashion and party accessory.
This trend is HUGE overseas and it was recently brought to America!! Lucky us! It has even been seen in Vogue Magazine!!!

How to create this fab look:
-Remove any oil from your nails by cleaning your nails with nail polish remover.
-Take off the over-cap that contains the magnet and set aside.
-There is an inner cap that you can use to apply the magnetic polish.
-Apply one coat of your selected nails inc. base coat.
-Then, apply one coat of your chosen magnetic polish on all 10 nails and let dry for a few minutes.
-To create the "magnetic effect," apply a generous coat of magnetic polish to one nail, and immediately hold the cap that contains the magnet over the nail. (Do this quickly while the polish is still wet. There is a small lip on the cap which should be placed just below your cuticle allowing the magnet to be positioned perfectly over your nail.) Hold very close to the nail for 10-15 seconds, taking care not to touch the nail with the magnet.
-Repeat on all 10 nails and apply a top coat to seal the design.

You can get the trio set pictured above at Sephora. (not yet available coming soon) from Nails Inc. London $30

Benefit They're Real Mascara Full Review!

Benefit they're Real! Mascara Review!

Hello to all my beautiful readers! I haven't posted a full review in a few weeks but I have been dying to try this mascara since the day it came out. So lets get started!!!!
color. You can use them seperately or together to create a beautiful cheek!

Price: 8 out of 10. It was $22 which isn't horrible but is double a drug store price.

Packaging: 10 out of 10. I love the packaging whoever designed it is an excellent marketer! It has a before and after shot. The after shot is her true eyelashes, no false eye lashes which most companies do. And it explains in full what the product is aimed to do and even has a picture of the brush on the back which is uber important!

Pigment:  10 out of 10. This mascara is ultra black!

Application? 10 out of 10. The brush is fine so you are able to get close to the lash line and the tip has spokes much like the Givenchy ball mascara which helps you lengthen and seperate.  

Total: 9.5

Would I recommend? Are you kidding me of course I would recommend this! I am inloveeee with this mascara. I am not exaggerating when I say this is the BEST mascara I have EVER tried. Which I would like to add I have over 20 mascaras in my drawer. Even though it is a little pricey atleast go to Sephora and try it out!!

Fox in a Box - Skinny Dipping Blush Duo Review

Fox in a Box Blush Duo in Skinny Dipping

You can find it at Wal-mart or http://www.hardcandy.com/. One side is a bright peach color and the other side is a dusty rose color. You can use them seperately or together to create a beautiful cheek!

Price: 10 out of 10. This box was only $6.00!!!

Packaging: 10 out of 10. I love the packaging its soo cute and durable. With the product in a box it is almost impossible to break if you drop it.

Pigment:  8 out of 10. Surprisingly this products pigment was very good! Don't use the little brush that is equipt for application. The product when applied with a blush brush comes out more pigmented. The brush provided is great for on the go or touch ups!

Lasting? 9 out of 10. It lasted most of the day. I was sweating and it was an extreamely hot day I only had to touch it up once.

Total: 9 out of 10. So ....

Would I recommend? I would say hop in your car and run to the closest Wal-Mart ASAP thats how inlove I am with this little box.
