Make Up For Ever Artist Palette For August 2014

Make Up For Ever Artist Palette For August 2014 - $48.00 Canadian

So I've been naughty again and picked up more makeup....now since I've been on a bit of a blogging hiatus you guys have not seen all of the makeup that I've been buying lately but trust me I have quite a few new posts coming up and I am definitely a little ashamed about how much makeup I've been buying lately. Anyways when I saw Temptalia's post showing this palette I just knew I had to have it! I had been looking at the Kat Von D Monarch and Chrysalis palettes and I really wanted both, but when I saw this it reminided me of the palettes because it included a gorgeous bronzy orange monarch colour and the gorgeous purples that are similar to the ones in the Chrysalis palette; so I just knew I had to have this one! The colours all looked absolutely gorgeous and seemed to work perfectly together.

Now the palette contains 8 shades with only one of them being matte. The first 4 shades are more neutral where as the second 4 are much more vibrant and metallic. The formulation of these shadows are on point and are super pigmented and opaque. I watched Tarababyz's video where she hauled this palette and she described these shadows as being "thick" and I agree with that description. I'm not sure of another way to describe these shadows other than to say that they are thick and buttery, I absolutely love the texture. 

A Very Lush Christmas

Happy New Year everyone, and I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and Holiday season. I went away to Rivera Maya, Mexico this year for Christmas so that is why I haven't been as active on my blog lately. Anyways I'm back and here to start 2014 off with a bunch of posts. This year for Christmas I was treated by two of my aunts to a treasure trove of Lush products. They were spot on in getting me the exact things that I wanted; the Bombardino Bath Bomb, Cinders Bath Bomb, Santa Lip Scrub, and Ro's Argan Body Conditioner. Lately I have been Lush obsessed and I have been using A LOT of their products lately. 

First up is Bombardino...
Limited Edition
Vegan 

Bombardino - $5-10 

(this was a gift and I couldn't find the price online so this is an approximate price)

Lush claims that Bombardino is a rich and creamy bath bomb that is inspired by an after ski drink made in the Italian Alps with eggnog, brandy, and whipped cream. Although inspired by a drink Lush's Bombardino was made to smell like a lemon meringue pie and contains cocoa butter which leaves skin feeling soft. 

Next up is Cinders...

Limited Edition

Vegan

Cinders Bath Bomb - $4.95

Cinders Bath Bomb contains almond oil, sweet orange and cinnamon leaf essential oils which smells AHHHMAZING and super festive; and the popping candy makes Cinders crackle when you pop it in the bath which is supposed to sound like a crackling fire. This probably has to be my new favourite bath bomb and I'll definitely be buying it next Christmas. 

Then Santa's Lip Scrub... 

Limited Edition

Vegetarian 

Santa's Lip Scrub - $8.95

Lush Lip Scrubs are some of my favourites especially when my lips are chapped and I already do love the Mint Julep lip scrub so I was really excited to try the Santa's Lip Scrub. I love that this scrub is cola flavoured so licking it off is twice as fun (and this lip scrub is made out of edible ingredients like sugar and edible heart sprinkles so its completely safe to eat; not that I would recommend eating this by the jarful...) 

Lastly is Ro's Argan Body Conditioner...

Permanent

Vegan 

Ro's Argan Body Conditioner - $32.95

I've heard a lot of Youtuber's talking about this product most notably Allison from Amarixe and Ingrid from MissGlamorazzi and all they've done was rant about how great this product was so of course I had to check out Ro's Argan. I am also a über lazy person and therefore I do not like moisturizing after the shower so this body conditioner is perfect for me because I can apply the body conditioner to my body and not have to moisturize again after the shower. This is also perfect for soothing your legs after shaving. One con to this product is that it is pretty expensive so I would recommend going into your local Lush and asking for a sample; so you can see if you like the product.
