Smells like heaven :$

Hello my little caterpillars,
I was feeling pretty down yesterday, you know it was one of these days where nothing seems to go right.. My mom however didn't want me to feel this way and came home with a bag full of wonderful Lush goodies to make me feel better since I wasn't in the mood to go myself! :D :$ Thanks again mom! <3 Yes, my mom's the best!
I love the Lush brand for the whole "fighting animal testing" concept and the fact that the products are handmade and vegetarian/vegan. It gives me a good feeling about their products, you know? I feel better knowing that the products I'm using on my body are natural, don't you? (:



So all this great stuff came in the cutest little bag which actually is a scarf (this is so cool!). It was the most adorable packaging ever I instantly fell for it. It feels so soft and the print is so original. And oh yeah little warning the names on the jars aren't the same as in the description because we got the french names here so I looked the english names up that's all.




First thing I found in that amazing bag, was the Cosmetic Warrior face mask. It's supposed to combat spots and redness while cleansing and refreshing your skin. I admit it does smell horrible, but even though the jar does look super tiny I can guaranty you it's more than enough. I did try the Cupcake face mask about a month ago and I wasn't able to finish it before the expiration date and I did use quite a lot of it. I hope I won't be grossed out by the smell when using it though O:, no seriously I tried it and the smell's not that bad once it's on your face. Obviously your face won't be spot free after one use but apply it twice a week for a few weeks and you'll apparently see a difference, I did some research on it, I'm not just saying that don't worry. (;





Second thing I found in my magical bag the Ro's Argan Body Conditioner. Oh my god! This creme smells SO FREAKIN' GOOD!  Plus since you have to use it in the shower (in my opinion) you'll save so much time when getting ready. Mhhhhhhhmm you'll smell like a wonderful rose petal, loves. (: of course I had to try it right away and guys my skin smells and feels so good right now, I swear I can't stop smelling my arms as weird as that may sound! This little baby may be my all time favourite right now. It is quite expensive though when you compare it with the 'normal' body moisturiser. (Yes, it costs twice as much) But it's okay for an occasional investment. (:





Third goody my lovely momma bought me is the Rub Rub Rub Shower Scrub. I think the thing which intrigued me the most was it's bright blue colour, I mean look at it I've never seen anything like it especially since it's organic! I literally opened that jar and was like what the........ And my mom just stood there and laughed. I think that's the reason why she bought in the first place, I like anything original and what's more original than a bright blue shower scrub???? I have to admit the smell's pretty unique too I really can't tell what it smells like. (But if you want to know go to the lush website which I will link down below and find out :p) This scrub is supposed to exfoliate (isn't that the purpose of every body scrub?), cleansing and refreshing your skin. What it doesn't say is how smooth your skin feels after applying it, I was hesitating to try the Ro's Argan Conditioner after that because my skin felt so nice.




And the last thing that was in my super bag was my mom's mini attention: the Tisty Tosty Bath Bomb which as you see is in a heart shape (yep, my mom's a love bug :p<3). Can you believe that this is my first bath bomb ever? I know I'm weird but in my house we don't take a lot of baths if not any at all since the water is so damn expensive so I was surprised to find this one in there. It looks so cute and smells heavenly! Let me tell you the weird story of my life at Lush: every time I go to Lush, I'm looking for a bath bomb and that literally EVERY TIME, but weirdly every time I smell one it doesn't smell good at all. And for example, my 'sister in law' is a bath bomb addict, she has a whole box full of them and they're smelling SO GOOD, that makes me want to buy one even more so I go back to Lush looking for a bath bomb and I apparently can't find one on my own because I can't find one that satisfies me ): The funny thing is I've seen this bath bomb so often and I thought it wouldn't smell good. Maybe my noes just shuts down in that store who knows. :$ ): But seriously I'm in love with it the smell's just amazing and I can't wait to try it!

Hmm.. Make-up Goodies :$ (Paris Make-up Haul)

Hello my little caterpillars,
A little while ago I promised you a Paris make-up haul, so........... Here it is :D
Like I said in my Paris fashion haul, Paris did spoil me in every possible way. And since there are so many stores we don't have in my country I just had to go crazy over there right? It was my duty to buy all this stuff don't you think? :p Anyway let's get started shall we?




I know it's not THAT much stuff but I still think I got kind off spoiled, because it's only stuff I wouldn't find around here and you know, I'm feeling kind of blessed right now :p




For starters, I went crazy at Mac where I filled my eyeshadow collection a little. So I arranged two palettes, a two shadow palette and a four shadow one. The two shadow palette contains a combination I picked up from Zoella in one of her videos (I will link her channel below) : Amber lights and Bronze. The combo is amazing, I put it on to go clubbing with a whole black outfit. Loved it. The second palette just has the colour Brun which I actually use to fill my eyebrows and some other colours I thought would look cute and I just didn't have before, it can be very handy to have all of them into one palette when I'm at my boyfriend's place and we decide to go out. That way I don't have to carry that many different big palettes. So the darker pink shade is called Pink Venus, the light pinkish colour's named Sweet Lust and finally lighter colour which I would use to highlight my inner corners and the brow bone's called Shroom.  I have the feeling I wrote the word palette like 5x. Oh well, never mind :D




Still from Mac, I got two lipliners. The Kiss Me Quick which is a wonderful red colour which is a great with the Ruby Woo lipstick by Mac as well and Currant who is a dark purply colour which I am in love with! Finally I got Pleasant Plum which is like the name says a kind off plum/cherry coloured lipliner by Sephora. I haven't had the chance to try it yet, but I will soon. Promise.




Since Mac is dominating this Haul, let's just stick with it shall we? This is the limited edition  Keepsakes Studio Brush Kit. I've been looking for this one during the three whole days I've been there, I practically have been looking for it in every Mac Store there was, since it was always this one who was sold out. But eventually I finally got it after killing my legs and feet.




Let's move to other make-up tools/brushes. First I found the 217 Blending brush by Mac, since I've only got one blending brush in my brush collection I thought that a second one would come in pretty handy when mixing/blending some different shades together and you have to clean the brush to continue, problem solved people! Then I got the 45 Mineral powder brush by Sephora which I really needed since mine was a wrack. And finally I just got an eyelash curler since mine is getting pretty old and I thought this one was terrific.




Last but definitely not least, the Too Faced Milk Chocolate Powder which is a bronzing powder. OH MY GOD guys I am in love with this product! It smells so good!! I first discovered the Chocolate version in the palette my sister gave me for my birthday which I'd already mentioned in another post. I totally fell for the smell and promised myself to buy it when I get the occasion, so I did... I bought three of them.  No kidding. But since my skin is pretty fair during the winter I had to go with the Milk Chocolate version, still I do not regret it at all! This is the best bronzer ever guys! Go for it!

That was finally it for this haul I hoped it was at your convenience and you might get some shopping ideas.

Until then,

xoxo,
J.
