Dream Cream


again, this is a Lush review. Almost all my cosmetics are from Lush now...

Dream Cream is a body lotion and it is THE BEST lotion I have ever used IN MY LIFE!!! I have used MANY MANY MANY lotions but they are sticky, or you feel gross after using it, and Dream Cream is just amazing, your skin just absorbs it and it makes your skin flawless, and soft... smell... there is no smell really... but it is AMAZING! LOVE IT!!!! Dream Cream is $24.95 CAN and I don't know if you think that is pricy for the size, but a little goes a LONG way!

NARS Sexual Healing Lipstick


This is an AWESOME lipstick! It is a wonderful colour. I like it on my lips with a gloss over top because it washing me out a bit. But I have recently discovered blush, and I was like... well... I don't like the idea of powder blush and I don't really know why... so I was like... do I have something that is a nice pinky colour? and my lipstick was PERFECT!!!!!! Like beyond perfect. I just put it on the apples of my cheeks and then then spread it with my clean finger, I also put it on my eye lids! and I just LOVE it, it is shimmery... so that is something to be aware of, but I am just loving this lipstick. :)

K-PAK Conditioner


I have been using Joico shampoo and conditioners for maybe 7 months and I have seen a HUGE difference in my hair, and then about a week ago I bought the Joico K-PAK reconstruct conditioner and WOW!!!!! I spent about $20.00 on this small bottle, but WOW again, my hair has been SUPER soft and I love it. It is amazing! I will probably never use another conditioner again... haha. I probably will. I always change my hair products, I am trying to find the best ones for my hair. That might sound funny. But I like to keep my hair healthy and nice, and I just want to make sure that it stays that way. I don't colour it, and I don't think I ever will. I mean, I get high lights sometimes, but not often. I don't keep them up, and I get them under my hair so the new growth (new growth is usually called roots by most people that is the wrong term because the root is under the skin) doesn't show and I don't have to worry about it. but I like to make sure my hair is healthy, so I have to figure out good hair products to use. when I come back from Denmark I am going to buy some from Lush and see how they are. But at this moment. K-PAK is AMZING!!!!! try it!!!!

BH cosmetics Eye & Lip Primer


I have only used two primers in my makeup life. The first one I used was the Urban Decay Eye shadow primer or something, can't really remember what it is called... and I guess it was good, I didn't see the point of using it. Then I ordered the BH cosmetics Eye & Lip Primer and WOW!!! I love it!!! It is a great primer, but for me it is a perfect colour for my skin tone. I put it ALL around my eyes like a concealer. I LOVE IT! I think it is a good eye concealer, I put it on my dark circles and on my eye lids, and I think it is just amazing! I just love it! It is not creamy like the Urban Decay one, it is more like a concealer, that might be why I use it all over. It is also a tint lighter then my face so it brightens up my eyes more then a regular concealer would. LOVE THIS PRODUCT! One negative though is that the bottle is a little small... like... actually tiny. but I have had it since Christmas, so December 24th, to now and it is still half full.... so it's good.

Homemade Lip Scrub

I made this myself, I needed a lip scrub and I didn't want to buy one so I made one.

You need

Brown Sugar
Honey
Vitamin E

One tablespoon of Brown sugar to a tablespoon of honey, and one tablet of Vitamin E oil. Stick a tooth pick through the oil tablet and squeeze out the oil.

You can ALWAYS alter this recipe. use more honey more oil. I don't know if this is storable or re-useable, so I don't know if you want to make to much. But when I use this on my lips it took off extra skin on my lips at the same time the honey made it softer but the Vitamin E is perfect. After you have used the lip scrub and rinsed you should put on lip balm, just to enhance the feeling and hydrate more. DO NOT use salt! salt is drying and you don't want that on your lips.

No pictures for this multi Lush review. Pictures go up with single products.

Pied De Pepper: Foot Lotion: WONDERFUL smell! Warm, relaxing. Love it! very smooth.

Sugar babe: Sugar shower scrub: I do not use this in the shower, I use this on my feet! AMAZING AGAIN!!!! But x10 amazing!!! it takes off dead skin, so built up callus on the feet, it is sugar so it is sticky, and since it is sugar and not salt it does not dry out the feet more, but AMAZING! MUST HAVE!

Stepping Stone: Foot scrub: it says scrub, but it's not rough enough to be a scrub personally, so I take off pieces and put it in hot water and let my feet soak. GREAT RELAXING smell!!! Just amazing. I calms the feet and gets them ready for the Sugar Scrub.

Volcano: Foot Mask: AMAZING!!!!! LIKE AMAZING!!! MUST HAVE!!! I ran out of this because I used it on other people, so i have only used it 2-3 times. but I am in love with this product. I put this on before I soak my feet and before the scrub, and it is so refreshing and wonderful. cooling. and WOW!

Lip Service: Lip Balm: This is the best lip balm I have ever had in my life, and I have had many! my lips get really dry and this just, wow again. The first day I used it, it just WOW!!! Noticeable difference.

Flying Fox: Shower Gel: I loved the smell in the store, but then when I was in the shower I HATED IT!!!! it is NOT my smell!!! I am so happy I only bought a little bottle. I just hate it. I am not sure how the soap part is because I just DO NOT like this shower Gel. :( breaks my heart because I love lush.

Ice Blue Soap: Soap: I bought this a LONG time ago and I LOVED LOVED LOVED it!!!! I bought a new one recently, but I haven't used it because I want to get rig of the crappy stuff in my shower.

Strawberry Feels Forever: Massage Bar: LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have used two fresh face masks, but I won't use my money on them again because I never used it often enough. they go bad after 3 weeks. so it was a waste of money for me. but I used...

cupcake... though it was good. nothing special, and something with blueberries... but I can't remember what it is called... nothing special...

I believe that is all I have used from lush... oh...

Charity Pot: Hand and Body Lotion: Smells kinda yucky... but I bought it because all the money went to Japan, thought it was good.... works well. but I don't like the smell... :)

now I think that is it. that is all my lush stuff... I think you can tell that I have my absolute favorites, but I mostly LOVE it all! haha. you can find all this in stores I think all over the world, and online.

Water/Sleep

Drinking LOTS of water and getting enough sleep is VERY important to your health and for your skin. Water doesn't only keep you hydrated but it also can improve your complexion and brighten your eyes. Sleep I think is obvious, getting enough sleep (not to little, not to much) can just make you look awake and fresh. If you are tired and haven't gotten enough sleep you can get dark circles under the eyes. Fresh air is also very good, getting outside of the City and just sitting there is good for your health and it's relaxing. Pretty much anything that is good for your health will show up in your skin and hair, it is worth being healthy because then you look healthy fresh and clean. I am not the healthiest person ever, but I try... kinda. I could try harder, and some day I will. I guess this blog is a reminder to me that I have to drink more water and get an even amount of sleep every night. Don't forget to exercise, take a 30 minute fast walk around with your dog, run if you want, but if you haven't ran in a long time you should start with a fast walk and then go faster every week. Get your body used to it again.

Ocean Salt


Lush has a face and body scrub called Ocean Salt and there is literally salt in it. It is WONDERFUL!! Like you have no idea!!!! I have used it on my face twice and it just... WOW!!!! and I have used it on feet!! I think it is amazing. elbows hands, any rough patches. whatever!!! and it's just, WOW!!!! I LOVE it, I wasn't sure the first time I used it, but yesterday I used it on my face, hands, elbows, and feet, and it's so amazing. I think it evened out my skin. made it smooth. I LOVE it!!! It's so refreshing. I don't even know how to explain it. But I used this scrub then put on the Mask of Magnimity on and it was just PERFECT! like you have no idea! someone told me they used it on their legs before shaving... I believe it would work. You just scrub off the extra dead skin then rinse and use shaving cream and whatever. I just have to say try it and you'll love it!

Imperialis


Imperialis is a face moisturizer from Lush, one of my all time favorite stores on Earth!

Balance and concentration.
Imperialis is a good-value, finely crafted moisturizer for oily skin. It's considered Mark's temperamental princess because it can be difficult to get right. Based on English herbalism and the majesty of the imperial age, Imperialism is made with lavender infusion to balance the skin's sebum production. Lavender encourages dry skin to produce more natural oils and discourages oily skin from overdoing it.

The up top paragraph is the description on the web site www.lush.ca

What I have to say about this moisturizer is... IT IS AMAZING!!!!!!!! The BEST face cream I have EVER tried!!! first you do not need very much and it goes ALL over your face, it is light and it doesn't grease up your face. I have oily skin but at the same time dry and it it PERFECT! I don't know what to say about it, I just LOVE it so much! It is a small pot, but it is TOTALLY worth it! price... $22.95, pricey, but again WORTH IT!!!!!!

Spring Look

I think Spring and summer is a good time to use less makeup. Winter. huh... pound on the makeup. haha. But summer you want to look fresh and clean, plus it should be warm out and you should be outside. Less is more. :) right? well. for me I just have been only using my foundation which is really light and is a tinted moisturizer. I get it from Sephora and it's called Tarte Smooth Operator SPF 20. On the web site it is $36, but I think that might be the US $. and I just put that all over my face and neck, just to make sure the colour flows, and try to find a foundation that has SPF. mine is a little low, but it's better then nothing. and then for my eyes I have been just using mascara, but sometimes I like to use white eye liner on my water line and the inner corners, White just lightens up your eyes and makes them look wider. Sometimes if I want to line my eyes I will tight line my eyes and do my water line with black eyeliner and if I feel like it I will put something on my eye lids. This might sound odd and weird, but I found the most beautiful coloured lipstick and I like to use it on my eyelids and cheeks it is called Sexual Healing by NARS, I also get this at Sephora, but trust me, it is a wonderful colour on the cheeks. it is the best. I just put lip chap on my lips. I really like my lip colour. I think everyone should lighten up their looks. It is spring and people should brighten up. it is a month and a half until school is over and summer starts. Others are graduating, I am going to Denmark. People are still figuring out their goals in life. it's almost like a new year, but not. and in the summer you don't want to be wearing a ton of makeup. You have to give your face and eyes a break.

For your hair try and pull it back a little bit. a side pony, 2 braids is always summery, at the moment I have used bobby pins and pulled back 2 strands of hair and pinned it. Do something fresh and new. Don't do straight back pony tails though. They are to serious and lazy. I do a pony tail on lazy days, I try to make it nice sometimes, but pony tails in general are just boring.

Nails. Finger nails I think very light very new. Like right now I have Privacy Please by OPI on and it is such a nice colour. it is barely a colour. haha. but it just makes you nails look healthier and smooth and it's just so perfect, and if you have longerish nails then it looks like a french manicure. it's AMAZING. LOVE THE COLOUR! Toenails... I am actually not sure about this one. I am thinking not something dark. something light. I just took off the red I had on and I think that might be a fall winter colour. I think... Blues, greens, I have a yellow called Need Sunglasses? by OPI that I got yesterday and I want to try it, that would be a good colour. maybe put a design on the big toe. :) but ya. do simple things on your nails this spring and summer. keeps the spirit high. :)

Fashion... I am not good at this kind of beauty. I am not that fashionable. but I am thinking Skirts. LOTS of skirts. I am not a dress person. I don't feel comfortable in dresses, so I choose skirts. plus with a skirt you can have a different top. you know? OH, and gladiator sandals, these sandals look good with ANYTHING! dressy or casual. :) AMAZING!!! Don't wear to much black. black is a sad colour. plus you get really hot wearing black, if you want to stay kinda cool then white is the best option. :) light pinks, light colours. I think dresses are in right now though. so maybe you want a dress. :) I am just not a big fan of them.

What are other beauty things?

Lotions. Lotions are good. I am not sure if lotions are all that great in the summer because you sweat and you don't want to be sticky and have the feeling of yuckyness. I don't know if it is bad to say this on a beauty blog, but I don't like lotions from bath & body works. I feel like they dry out your skin even more then it started with, and I LOVE the smells, but I don't think they are very good for your skin, Candles are amazing though. but lotions not so much. I am not sure how I feel about the shower gels though. They smell amazing, and they last on the skin for a little bit... not long. I wouldn't buy stuff from their anymore, except candles. At the moment I am LOVING Lush. like LOVING! Everything I have bought from there is the best thing ever! except the perfumes. I am not loving the perfumes very much. They aren't my kind of smells. DON'T boycott the perfume because I wrote this! They might smell AMAZING to you. I do have to say that they smell ALL day!!! put it behind your years and on your wrists and you will smell it ALL day!!! and they feel nice. I am just not into the smells. but EVERYTHING else from Lush is AMAZING!!!! It might be pricey but 100% worth it!! lotoins, AMAZING, Face stuff (cleansers, masks, toners, etc.) AMAZING, Scrubs, AMAZING, Soaps, AMAZING! EVERYTHING IS AMAZING!!!! I will do blog post on Lush products I have tried!

OPI: Privacy Please


Another Nail Polish. Privacy Please is used for french manicures and it is a BEAUTIFUL colour! It is very plain I guess and basic, and it's just the same colour as a natural nail, but it it SO pretty! I just bought it today and put it on right away and it looks like I have a french manicure, and my nails look extra healthy and smooth. It is PERFECT for just everyday, natural look. I LOVE IT! This polish is now my favorite and Katy Perry's Teenage Dream is now second. I think I paid a little over $10CAN, but not by much. But it is SO beautiful! It is a MUST have for EVERYONE!!!! Even if you don't paint your nails, it is amazing! LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE it!!!!!! BUY IT!!!!

Vitamin E


As weird as it may be, but these Vitamin Oil Pills are great. You can get them anywhere. I believe I paid about $6.00 ish... maybe. I like using them more at night after I have done a facial and cleaned my face. I just stick a tooth pick through it to make a little hole and with a clean finger I rub it around my eyes. Vitamin E is GREAT for the face. It helps prevent wrinkles if you are worried about them. It's kinda refreshing. Vitamin E helps heal scars, it is a good cleanser, sunburn relief, Chap lips, cold sores. Vitamin E is just a good thing to have. I just like using it around my eyes.

Katy Perry- Teenage Dream Nail Polish


I only have the one nail polish from Katy Perry's line. Teenage Dream. At the moment it is my favorite nail polish to have on my finger nails. it is so glittery and the perfect shade of pink that it makes it okay to have on. I don't like the colour pink all that much. I don't hate the colour pink, but it is not my favorite colour. But this Nail Polish I think is wonderful! I just love this colour, and I think it is a perfect colour for spring. It cost I think about $10.99CAN but I am not 100% sure. but it is around $10.

And I forgot to mention the price of the Loreal Mascara from the previous blog. It was $13.99CAN.

Loreal Paris Telescopic


Loreal Paris Telescopic mascra is my favorite mascara at the moment. I use different mascaras all the time and I have always liked Loreal. I think they might have the best mascaras, but I also like the Covergirl Lash Blast. My last favorite mascara was a combo of Covergirl Lash Blast (purple bottle) then over top using the Loreal Telescopic, but then I started getting lazy and only using the Loreal and at the moment it is my favorite. I like the brush, and I think it makes my lashes longer looking. I have short lashes so that is kinda what I want, I also want thickness in my lashes, but no mascara has both. That is why you use two different mascaras.

Mask of Magnamity


The Mask of Magnamity is a face mask from Lush Cosmetics is truly one of the best products I have ever bought for my face. It's so wonderful on your skin and it leaves my skin softer then before I put it on. This product is $21.95CAN for the 315g and $10.95 for the 125g. Personally I think that is a wonderful price, and it lasts. I do not use mine all that often, maybe every 3-5 weeks, and I have had my small container for about 3 months and I have used it 3 times. I still have more then half of the container, and I have used it on my mom. It is so refreshing and feels clean.
You can view more details on the product at www.lush.ca it id under Skincare, then Face, then cleansers. It is the ninth product on the page.
You really have to try it to know why I love this product so much.
