Lush ! All the products you need for a perfect summer day!:)

Soo today in talking about one of my all time favourite companies again! LUSH COSMETICS 

First i am going to talk about one of there new products they have out SKIN SUPPLEMENT
 Soo your wondering what is it ? Well you mix it into any moisturizer and BAM  you have a tinted moisturizer or u can even use it on own to cover a pimple!! It comes in 4 different colors so you can truly match any skin tone!! And i cannot believe its only $13.95!! A little goes a long way too !This should last me well over 6 months!
I think its perfect for the summer time,instead of wearing a heavy foundation ,let your skin breathe and just mix some of this into your moisturizer so you have some coverage and your skin looks glowing.
Also it's VEGAN! It contains Fresh Rose infusion!!

Now here is another item you need for summertime VANISHING CREAM

I have more oily,acne prone skin so this is perfect,but even if you don't its very light weight and absorbs quickly to give you a matte finish for other skin types on  a hot day!I would even say it makes my skin feel fresh.
It smells soo yummy because its contains rose and lavender essential oils!It also contains Witch hazel which is anti-bacterial so it kills those pimples and helps to keep new ones from forming.This would be a perfect makeup base and even good for nighttime use.Retails $37.95 but worth every penny as a little goes a long way.

And we can;t forget about having a relaxing bath in the summer can we? A bath is not a real bath without a BATHBOMB!!!


This is the one i tried out today the SEX BOMB!!! This is also VEGAN and OH MY GOSH you will smell amazing all day long!!! Just drop it in the bath and grab a good book and enjoy every minute of it fizzing!
Its got creamy soya milk swirls and its girly colors of pink and purple,like a pretty flower!
Its got Jasmine and Ylang Ylang ,in it which i have always been a fan of! It really gets you in the mood that's forsure ! Plus it leaves your skin feeling soft and smooth ,just the way it should be if your getting close to someone!
Retails- $6.00

Pure and Simple organic perfume :)

So i have already spoke about why we need to avoid the chemicals in perfume,well i found this super awesome CANADIAN site that sells a variety of ORGANIC perfume! How awesome is that ?? Pretty awesome i think!!
here is the site www.pureandsimple.ca


They have a variety of organic products for you to browse.

I think this one looks amazing and i will order it 

This is there most popular scent. The soft alluring Lavender is deepened by base notes of Sandalwood, thyme, rosemary.
A calming scent, popular for both men and women, is distilled natural from the lavender, from the altitude of the mountains of Provence. A good general scent to have for those who want to be quietly noticed.

This one looks great too

"Hesperidee relates to the 3 nymphs that were responsible for tending the apple orchard of Hera, the Goddess of Roman Gods.
This unisex scent is a fresh collection of citrus with spices all in a base of sandalwood. An excellent romantic scent for a quiet exotic occasion.

A perfect gift for that quietly romantic person.


They are also only $45.95 cheaper than most perfumes out there and better for you!

Perfumes' chemical safety unknown!!! PLEASE READ IMPORTANT STUFF!

Soo i was watching the news yesterday and came across this and thought i should share the info here,because a lot of us wear perfume so this hits home!!



(taken from CBS NEWS)
"Top-selling fragrances contain chemicals that can trigger allergic reactions or disrupt hormones but are not listed on labels, according to a new report calling for changes in federal regulations."
", assessed 17 fragrances bought in both countries that were tested by an independent laboratory in California. They included Britney Spears' Curious, Calvin Klein Eternity, Abercrombie & Fitch Fierce and Old Spice body spray."
The tests found a dozen or more chemicals not listed on labels, multiple chemicals that can trigger allergic reactions or disrupt hormones, and substances that have not been assessed for safety by the beauty industry's self-policing review panels, the groups said. 
The findings in the report included:
  • An average of 10 sensitizing chemicals that can trigger allergic reactions such as headaches, wheezing, asthma, infant diarrhea and vomiting and reduced pulmonary function were found in each product.
  • An average of four hormone-disrupting chemicals were found in each product. The chemicals may mimic the hormone estrogen.
So Basically what its saying is that the ingredient list is USELESS it does not even tell what is in it!! 



ACKKKKKKKKKKKK !! 


So i suggest to you some natural perfumes like pure essential oils . Or i love the natural fragrances from LUSH
This is a new one its vanilla of course and smells sooo yummy and its only $39.95!!

Check out the site they have tons more ,i wear the karma scent and get so many compliments on it and a little goes a long way!A bottle usually lasts me more than 6 months and i wear it often!
One spray and im good for the day!! AMAZING AND VEGAN :)

Are you rolling yet ???

Okay ladies today i want to review L'oreals new TRUE MATCH ROLLER FOUNDATION


At first it looks like it might not work or would be hard to use right??
Well you are sooo wrong!! Its the most easy thing to use and it actually WORKS awesome!
It is nice creamy foundation and with it comes this thing that looks almost exactly like a paint roller!! So no need for a brush ,sponge or your fingers.It makes appplication flawless ! You ask how?Well when you use the roller it creates the most even finish ever!! It even works around the nose and eyes and using a light pressure. It is also OIL FREE!And because its true match its not hard to find your perfect shade.

Also i think its just a fun way to apply your foundation,but one thing to be careful a little goes a long way,start with less makeup on the roller and add as needed :)

PS-It retails for about $14.99 but is on sale at Walmart for about $12.98
