LET THE GOOD TIMES ROLL

Here is another Lush product that I can not live without now! Holy hell its like a cookie orgy on your face. Every time I wash my face with this toffee sugar cookie scented soap, it feel so supple and moisturized. When you break off a piece and mush it in water, it creates this milky heaven. I would suggest using a makeup remover of some sorts before using this product. 

Here is a how to: 

Dampen your skin with warm water. Break off a piece of your cleanser, and mix with a little warm water to create a paste. Massage onto your face and body, rinse thoroughly and pat dry. 

Here's what Lush has to say about it:

Gently exfoliating polenta cleanser

A luxuriously soft and sweetly-scented cleanser, Let The Good Times Roll has quickly become a huge fan favorite. Maize flour, corn meal and a dash of cinnamon powder gently exfoliate and leave you with a vibrant glow, and lightly hydrating corn oil helps skin to retain its moisture and elasticity. With its rich butter-caramel fragrance and velvety texture, no wonder this one is so popular!

Lush Sea Spray

I have been training lately for my new job in a metro area where I can get ahold of Lush products again. Ugh, my heart. So be warned that I will be posting a lot about these products. With that said, meet Sea Spray by Lush. I recently talked about my new hair cut in this blog post, I have been struggling with what to do with it. When I had my long hair I love falling asleep with products in my hair and waking up to my wavy hair. Side not my hair has a bit of wavy curl to it, so scrunching it usually sticks well. 

This morning I tried out Sea Spray for the first time. I took my shower and then when my hair was still wet I sprayed Sea Spray all over my hair and scrunched it up. I let my hair air dry and to my satisfaction, it looked pretty awesome. I showed up to work and eleven hours after application this is my hair below. 

So as you can see, it held the scrunched look very well. For my straight stubborn hair sisters, you might want to apply this after you dry and curl your hair with a large barrel.

Over all this is a lovely product and for 12.95 its a pretty nice price point for Lush.
Here is what lush describes it as:
"Our sea salt, sea water and seaweed spritz holds hair in place, adds shine and gives body for a beach-beautiful look. A gorgeous orange flower, grapefruit, neroli and rosewood blend perfumes the spray. It smells so divine, we've been spritzing it in our hair just to smell the fragrance! Use anytime you want to refresh, re-style or add some volume, texture and shine."

The Body Shop Blueberry Body Scrub

This product is fan-freaking-tastic. Recently Essiebutton talked about the new Body Shop Blueberry scrub and I was super curious about this jelly like substance. So I ran out to The Body Shop and gave it a whirl. Its like taking a jar of jam that just happened to of gotten seeds and some sort of sand in it...  It smells so nomy, my boyfriend even used it and liked it. My skin was so smooth and hydrated after using this, it also smelled of REAL blueberries. I find that fruit scents in bath and body products tend to have a heavy artificial smell to them. This product also comes in raspberry and smells just as amazing. I however had to refrain from getting two scrubs.

The body shop is running a promotion right now online( I'm not sure about in store) where you can get bath and body products for half off. This falls in that category!

Original Price: $20

Benefit They’re Real Push-Up Liner Coming June 27th 2014

$24 for They’re Real Push Up Liner

$18 for They’re Real Remover

I have a confession... I buy eyeliner all the time and I use none of it. I have a severe issue with applying eyeliner. I always end up with shaky lines that are uneven and unnatural looking. This brand new eyeliner will be launching in July! Yes I will be buying it, and yes I do have high hopes that this will help me finally apply eyeliner. I found this really helpful guide on benefits website  that shows how to work this product. 

NAILS INC Pop Art 2-in-1

I can never resist those evil/ glorious bins by the check out at Ulta and Sephora. This here is from my recent trip to Ulta to pick up a new hair dryer. I need more nail polish like I need a hole in my head. However I am so happy I picked this little guy up. The Nails Inc Pop Art 2-in-1 is my first Nails Inc polish and I am pretty impressed. The base dried super quick and had a matte finish to it. I didn't struggle with applying multiple coats and waiting for them to dry. Usually I can't wait and I end up with muddy nails. The top coat applied lovely as well.  I had to dab on the pieces at times but over all it was a very pleasant experience. Not once did it mess up the base coat. 

Nails inc has a couple other colors too. These are $14 each. 

Chopping Off My Hair!

So yesterday I decided that it was time for a change in my life. If you're like me, then you probably comb through Pinterest looking at cute hairstyles and struggle with no avail to recreate these pretty buns. Last sunday I spent two hours trying to do a bun from The Small Things blog, and alas, I did not succeed. My hair was boarding the freaky religious length*. The ends were pretty dang split too. It was time to give it a break. So I called my stylist and went in for a "trim." I told her slightly below my shoulders, my hair being a bit curly definitely sprung up and its a bit shorter than I went in wanting. However I absolutely love it! In total I took off a whopping 10 inches! My hair feels so light and free. I fully believe that this will be so amazing for this spring and summer.

*Please do not take offense when I say freaky religious. Its just a light hearted joke and I am sorry if this did offend you. I have my own beliefs and I do not judge others for theirs. 

MAC x Marge The Simpsons Collection for Fall 2014

To celebrate the 25th anniversary of The Simpsons, M•A•C is launching a special edition collection in honor of the lovely Marge Simpson! This will be launching September 2014. There is no word yet on what exactly will be in the collection but I have my suspicions that there will be some blue, green and maybe something to symbolize the pearl necklace she wears. I will be posting as more becomes available.

I grew up loving The Simpsons and probably watching it at way to young of an age. Here is Marge Simpson when she had another debut on Project Runway.

It's that time of year again, where your friends think they're clever and post may the 4th puns on Facebook. Well I am on of those friends! I combed through pinterest last night coming up with some inspirations for today. The eye look below was recreated by many girls around pinterest but I was unable to find the source. The lovely nail polish below is done by Cute Polish on youtbe, she has amazing nail art videos. I also created a pinterest board  with some more fun ideas for the day. I will probably be posting on this all day today.

My Favorite Spring Scent... As Of Right Now.

Have you seen this Sonia Kashuk body wash? I never would have known that Sonia Kashuk even had body care items if I hadn't started following The Small Things Blog. After seeing her March favorites video I ran out that day and picked this up, Im not even exaggerating. This is such a heavenly, feminine, delicate scent. Every time I step out of the shower or put this lotion on, my boyfriend perks up and makes an excited "OOOoooo." There are four scents, and I would suggest you smell them all. I found them at my target right next to the floor. So picture me huddled on the ground sniffing all of the bottle. I was in heaven. 

You can order some either on Target or the Sonia Kashuk website or just go to target and use your red card.
