Mini Lush Haul

Hi pretties :) Hope you're all having a great mid week. It's been so cold here in Batangas even a month after Christmas so I'm usually and casually in my PJ's lately. I'm loving the weather although I'm catching lots of coughs and cold so vitamins is a must.

A week ago, I went for my regular mani/pedi appointment, I was all ready to go home when I realized that LUSH Alabang Town Center sent me a text message a few days ago that they're having a post Christmas Sale. I went straight to the store and almost jump in joy when the staff told me that Christmas bath bombs are on 50% off. I hesitated on buying them on Christmas time because I usually receive bath products during holidays and I was secretly hoping that someone will gave them to me ha ha :) But I'm not that fortunate coz most of the products that I wanted last Christmas was already sold out and I was left with the "not so popular ones" but I still got them. Who can resist a 50% discount? :)

So without further ado, here's my mini haul:

Let's start with the regular price ones:


This is Lush Porridge. This is ideal for sensitive skin, I've been a fan of this soap for 2 years now and a dermatologist friend recommended it to me because it is mild. It is filled with oats that can soften and leave you skin feeling extra refreshed. It is mildly caramel scented.

I can't speak too much about this one. DH picked it and he already throw the paper wrapper. But one thing I can tell you is that it smells so good.

This one is my ultimate favorite. It's called Karma. I love the strong scent of the bar when you're using it but it will leave just a right amount of scent when you towel up. I remember the first time I bought it. I was just walking pass by the Lush Store when I smelled the spicy sweet scent of Karma. I literally asked the staff to give it to me since I was rushing home. I almost didn't get it because of a hefty price. I got these 3 slabs for a whooping PhP 500.00 so it's the priciest thing here in my haul. But the price is all worth it. I only use it during night time as I use different moisturizing body creams during day time coz I'm not fond of using lotions. 

This one is on sale. It's called Snow Globe. Since I haven't use this I can just relay on what Lush says about this, "a frosty looking soap with a refreshingly zesty perfume". I'll get back to you on this one, hopefully soon :)

Let's continue to my favorite Ballistic aka Bath Bombs.

This is my favorite when it comes to bath bombs, it's called Cinders.  Upon placing it to water you can hear a lot crackling as if literally bombing your tub. I love it because of its relaxing scent, I'm a huge fan of coffee, and I put cinnamon on my coffee at Starbucks, so a cinnamon scented bath bomb is a love at first sniff :)   I was once drawn to sleep in the tub while using this. Plus I got lots of compliments from DH when I use this :)

This is Snow Man, obviously a Christmas edition bath bomb from Lush. According to Lush "it contains a cocoa butter which creates a moisturizing creamy soft bath that is great for moisturizing and protecting you skin". I'll get back to you on this one too :)

Curiosity and color sold me this. This is Candy Mountain, I can't resist the color. If this came in different color I won't even smell it, and I'm so glad it came in pink because it smells just like cotton candy. Lush describes this as "creamy candy bubble bar all dressed up for the holiday party in pink and white stripes and swirled in to a majestic peak". Interesting eh' :)

This one is Father Christmas, Lush describes this as "it smells of oranges and will remind you of the satsuma". The satsuma made this one interesting. But I'll make a review soon :)

This one is called Christmas Eve, Lush describe this as "calming deep blue bubble bath to help you escape from seasonal stresses".  The color reminds me of "ube/langka" ice cream ha ha :)

And I was going to get my self a tub of Lemony Flutter but it was out of stock, luckily they have a stock of the travel size so I got 2 small tubs :)

Hopefully, I can find time to review each one of the bath bombs. Catch you later!

After 90 days of nail polish diet.

Hi everyone :) Hope you're having a good start for the new year. It's been 3 long months since I last posted an entry here and back then I promised that I'll be posting regularly, I failed-I'm sorry. I hope this time, I can keep my promise :) *crossing my fingers* :)

Anyways, since October last year I promised myself that I won't buy even a bottle of nail polish. I realized I have lots of un-trieds bottles (almost 25) coz I only keep using my favorite shades. And as a consequence of what I've done in the past, I prohibited myself from getting a new nail polish, atleast until the last day of 2013. And I survived and I'm happy with that :)

After new year,  I decided to reward myself a few bottles and I'm fortunate coz Sally Hansen and Color Club on PCX Alabang Town Center are on "Buy 1, Get 1 promo". I was at my happiest :)

I'm a huge fan of Sally Hansen polish. I love the formula, consistency, pigmentation and of course they have the best brush. I feel like a pro when I use them coz I never had a hard time on application.

new bottles from Sally Hansen: Cherry Red, Ice Coffee, Hot magenta and Caribbean Coral.

These are my first bottles of Color Club. I was hesitant to try them coz I find it pricey and my nail salon don't have then so I have no way to try them out. But since they're on B1G1 promo, I guess it's the best way to try them. I'm keeping my fingers crossed, I hope they're as good as those brand that have the same price range aka China Glaze, OPI, Zoya, Orly and Essie.

Seduction and Ultra-Astral 

As you can see from the photos above, these are all in red and pink. Those are my comfort zone colors, but what I'm excited is the Ultra Astral coz it's my first ever glittered matte nail polish.

What do you think about Color Club? Are they worth the price? how's the consistency and formulation? What shade do you think is the best from the brand? Hope to hear from you pretties :) 

xoxo,
