Yippie! Not much reading required here. Just a rundown on the products I’ve enjoyed thoroughly:
1) Mad City Sue Shea Aloe to Great Hair Conditioner Custom Scented

I got a sample of this in mango lassi and oh my, it smelt divine as usual and my hair felt soft as silk. Especially after the color treatment, this was such a treat! Sue has a long huge list of scents and lush dupes and they smell OH SO GOOD.. trust me, I’ve tried so almost a dozen of her scents in different products and they smell fab!

2) MAC Viva Glam Gaga lipglass
I’m late to get this but I love the pinkish blue shade so much…

3) Canmake Color Stick
This salmon colored concealor stick is great for a nude lip or simply acting as a lip base.

Mad City Soap Part II Delectable Sugar Scrubs ~

 

How many sugar scrubs can a girl have? ? ?

                                    A ton! 

This scrubby goodness from Mad City Soap is MARSHMALLOW scented and I must say, it smells just like the yummiest, freshest marshmallow you’ve eaten.. Marshmallow fans will simply adore this scent. Using it in the shower is like drenching urself in liquid marshmallows, minus the sticky feeling. There is no oily residue left on the skin or in the shower.  Upon contact, the sugary bits literally melt and cleanse away in a very gently bubbling manner. Presentation is also key with Scrubbin Bubbles Body Scrub – The fresh white color, topped with purple specks make it look like a delicious gigantic marshmallow. Packaging wise, the labels are waterproof so you can leave this in the shower without worrying!

In the description, Sue states that this scrub is most suited for normal to oily skin types. Her super popular moisturizing whipped sugar scrubs are only available in the cooler months ( starting September ). So if you happen to have really dry skin, it might be worth waiting a little while longer :-) Here in the tropics, I appreciate a little less oil every now and then!

                     Yumss!!

If you aren’t bored, read on! I got another AWESOME Scrubbin Sugar Scrub in CHERRY DIVINITY….. This smells like strawberry ice cream rounded off with a good scoop of vanilla. Makes me want to take a bite off my hands. Dangerous for serious strawberry ice cream addicts! Overall, I can’t praise this scrubby goodness enough and the comfort it brings me in the shower. ….oohh Lalala…I am considering getting these scents in the dry oil version as it doesn’t contain alcohol which tends to evaporate quickly on my skin ( scent and all).Can’t wait to smell like strawberry ice cream and marshmallows:)

    Get me a spoon to dig into this one!!

Scrubbin Sugar Scrubs Ingredients: Sugar, Glycerin, Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate, Olive Oil, Sweet Almond Oil, Sorbitol, Propylene Glycol, Disodium Lauryl Sulfosuccinate, Stearic Acid, Vitamin E, Dimethicone, Sodium Chloride, Diazolidinyl Urea, Iodopropynyl Butylcarbamate, Tetrasodium EDTA, Fragrance, Cosmetic Colorants

I got 2 body butters- Candy Fluff Type & Cotton Candy. Blame my preggie need for sugar and chocolate and all things sweet &  fatty. These smells I am not crazy over . They are way too sweet / medicinal smelling for me and the only way I can wear Candy Fluff is with HIWTK dry oil layered on. Cotton candy on the other hand is just something I can’t stomach. I wish I had gotten mango lassi or lush island retreat ! Butter wise though it does moisturize nicely. It feels a little greasy and thick initially but the cream seems to settle into the skin after a few minutes and the scent lingers. If you have a smell that you love, you could easily customize it to this body butter. It’s bound to make you smell of it 24-7.

Found Honey I Washed The Kids ( HIWTK)  on ebay! It was so much cheaper than buying it off the UK Lush site and man oh man since the seller was local I got this in 2 days ! Yippie!

I’ve been meaning to get a whiff of the original HIWTK cause all I had to go by were the dupes I had been ordering from Etsy and man oh man, I LOVE the TOFFEE RICH smell and Honey Comb Top!! Adorable People :) The stuff permeates my bathroom with the most amazing rich toffee treat scent and I love it ! It makes me want to eat it !! Bad bad bad…

Anyhoo, I’ve just received a few more parcels too. My family thinks I’m going nuts ordering so much stuff online but in actuality I haven’t been out shopping for months and every parcel that comes marks a date approaching my baby’s arrival! hehehe Excuses Excuses!

I’ve got some Haus of Gloi Sugar Scrubs( Smells Divine) & MakeUpArtistChoice TCA Peels & Glycolic Products!  I ordered the TCA  and Glycolic 40% and will use them only after delivery. Really excited about these but I heard the peeling can get pretty nasty. My  skin tolerated 35% glycolic pretty well the last time so I don’t think 40% is going to really make me look scaly but I’m not quite sure about TCA. It will be my first time using it.

The long awaited weekend is here babes!!! I’m going baby shopping and here are 3 looks I did – one brownish black, one blue and a brownish yellow look! * Note to self – I will trim my brows soon :P   Loreal Super Liner works so well!! I was using a Sephora liquid liner initially but I had to switch !

:(  Sephora liquid liner stings my lids and that sucks! :<
