Retro Reviews: Ice Hotel Bubble Bar!!!

     Ice Hotel bubble bar is INCREDIBLE!!! It costs $6.95 and you can use it about 6 times. Just that little piece of bubble bar makes tons and tons of big, white, fluffy bubbles! The smell is quite strong in the package but not overwhelming in the bath. The scent is calming and refreshing at the same time. It smells like peppermint but not sugary whatsoever. This is surely Lush's best bubble bar at actually making bubbles. I highly recommend ordering it because it is very cheap but you get a ton of results!!! 

    On my Instagram for Lush "thelushlifexo" I hit 100 followers yesterday!!!! Thank you so much! I am going to put up a YouTube video as soon as I can as a little reward and to launch my channel cottoncandy23 ;) Thank you all so much and I will "see" you soon!!!

Porridge Soap!!!

     I had always thought that Porridge soap smelled really bad. I recently smelled it again and thought it was incredible!!! I know that Porridge is a favorite of many people and now I see why! It smells like yummy vanilla oatmeal; overall it smells like a bakery. The first time I used it I was SO shocked. The minute it touched my skin it looked like someone had poured milk or cream onto my arm. It was very gentle and left my skin soft and moisturized.There are tiny pieces of oatmeal in the soap that feel really good and invigorate your skin. As a whole, this soap is absolutely incredible! I am giving Porridge soap 5/5 stars and I wish that I bought it sooner haha:)

     Have a wonderful day everyone!

Buffy Body Butter!

Buffy body butter is talked about a lot! It was gifted to me but I probably wouldn't have bought it other wise. I'm glad I can try it though and I am excited to bring good news!

 

     Buffy is extremely harsh but not that exfoliating. The granules of almond are pretty large making you massage it into your skin longer to exfoliate it enough. That generally wouldn't be a problem but it feels like small rocks are exfoliating your skin. Ouch!!! As I experimented with it, I'm starring to love Buffy. The way I made it work with less pain is by taking small pieces and melting them a little bit. I cut off a very small portion of Buffy and I warmed up a small chunk of it by wetting it then rubbing it in between my hands. If you do this it feels so much gentler! I can not stress enough how much I recommend doing this! You are also going to get more uses out of doing this. Buffy isn't just and exfoliater though. The base of the product is made out of shea butter and cocoa butter making it a mega moisturizer. It leaves a residue on your skin for a while do I would use it at night to let it sink into your skin. 

     Buffy isn't scented much. When I sniff it, it smells like cocoa butter and shea butter to me. This product is surely to pamper you. I don't feel like I am wasting the product either when I slice it up. Haha PLEASE try this trick if you have Buffy and don't like it, you may just fall in love. Overall I am giving Buffy 4/5 stars because I made it work without hurting but I did have to experiment before I was content with it. 

     I hope that you all have a super duper fantabulous day and that it is filled with happiness:) if not...watch Finding Nemo while you are in the bath and channel your inner fish!!!

Fizzbanger!!!

     Fizzbanger and I have some history. It's one of those products that I would smell every time I went into Lush and I would leave without it. In my last online order I decided to get it. I mean, what was I waiting for before?

     Let me just say that it smells like apple cider and caramel apples. It is the scent definition for fall! It foams up a lot then you can see blue peeking through. That blue does all sorts of bubbley fun. It shoots and makes the bomb spin around, the pigment is released in a beautiful display. This bathbomb is truely a piece if art. After about 7 minutes the bomb is completely disintegrated and the water is a pastel emerald green. It reminds me of " The Wizard of Oz." 

     It makes your skin feel smooth and a bit softer. Your skin feels, but mostly smells very fresh. I really like this bathbomb and it costs $5.95 which is great! It will surely be a once in a while thing for me though. Over all I am giving Fizzbanger 4.5/5 stars. I feel like there is a little bit missing from the bathbomb but I am not sure what.

     Remember to spread some love today! Laugh lots, smile constantly, and live a beautiful life! ;)

Lush and Beau Bain Comparison

Ok guys lets get serious. I am totally in love with Lush but admit it, you have wondered how much better Lush is than other companies. I really wanted to find out if Lush is the best out there. I was out and I saw a stand that had bath bombs and I thought "what the heck!" So I grabbed one and let me tell you something... Yeah Lush is DEFINITELY the best. 

     The bath bomb I used in my experiment/competition was the Beau Bain Rainbow Sherbet bath bomb. This company claims so to be all natural has many similar claims to Lush. It is slightly more expensive and not nearly as good. When I opened it up and smelled it for the first time (right before my bath) I thought "That is NOT Rainbow Sherbet..." It smells like an herbal orange and not in a good way. I put it in the water and it was very pastel color which I really liked. I hopped in the bath thinking it was going to be decent. The water was very greasy and moisturizing. At this point I thought it was pretty good. I then got out of the tub and immediately started itching.... I was disappointed and excited t the same time because yes I was really uncomfortable, but that meant Lush is awesome!

So yes Lush really is incredible and I just wanted to share this experience with you lovely girls! Spread some glitter today and makes someone's day! If you are ever having a bad day (no matter what's wrong) try doing something for someone else. I can garrentee it will make you feel better. It doesn't matter what you do. You can help someone pick something up. Talk to someone new. Do the dishes for your family. It will help you:)

Covergirl Smochies!!!!!<3

     Covergirl recently released a tinted lip balm type product called Smootchies. They smell really good, like sugared berries. They are super comfortable on the lips and are moisturizing. I don't find that they leave my lips feeling much different once it has completely off, but they don't make your lips worse at all. This is a 3 in 1 product and not just a tinted lip balm!It's a great pocket goodie and can be applied without a mirror. The problem with it being a balmy product is that eating and drinking takes it away immediately...it is easy to reapply, but still annoying. I found that the color #luv u left a slight stain on the surface of my lips. I'm no expert but it looks like the glossiness wore off and the pigment was left behind. The Smootchies have all different finishes. Some have a bit of shimmer, some are creamy, and some are frost. They all feel similar though, moisturizing, smooth, and enjoyable. I think this is a great tinted lip balm! I am rating them 5/5 stars. The more I use them the more I like them.

      This is a product that I truely do LOVE, but I don't think that everybody will. It is an interesting product because none of its elements are incredible. The color payoff is decent but it doesn't moisturize your lips incredibly well. The gloss is pretty good though. Put those three parts together and you have a product that is pretty great. A product that gives a little bit of color, a little bit of moisture, and a lot of shine! (And smells good too!) I think that this is the best tinted lip balm I've ever tried, and if you aren't into tinted lip balm this is a good transition product.

     Hope you are having a great day!:D Love you all! I'm sending glitter your way!!! Don't forget to smile and sparkle!

Honey I Washed The Kids Soap

Honey I Washed the Kids soap smells like salty carmel, toffee, and honey. It is super moisturizing and softening. Your skin is left smelling like honey and vanilla which is wonderful!!! The soap doesn't lather right away though. I usually have to get some soap on my skin then use my hands to make it lather. I don't mind doing this but it does take more time then a shower gel or something like that, so I wouldn't use this soap in the morning. Another downer to Honey I Washed the Kids is that you have to use a lot of it at once and it melts fast. With this said plus the price being higher, this soap is not cheap. I do really like this soap but I only use it every now and then. I am rating Honey I Washed the Kids 4/5 stars because it is on the expensive side and it gets smaller very fast. I would recommend this soap just not for everyday use. 

     Have a great day everyone! Smile, sparkle, and enjoy all the little things that make you happy:)

Honey Bee Bath Bomb

     Honey Bee bath bomb is a warm honey scent. The fragrance is very comforting and relaxing. The problem is that it is gritty. The entire bomb doesn't dissolve so it feels like there is a bit of sand on the bottom of the tub. When it first dissolves it doesn't mix with the water and leaves a pile of the "sand" in the tub. Once you mix it into the water, it becomes yellow and a little gross looking. It doesn't scent your skin at all which is good and bad at the same time. It does make your skin feel soft and smooth though!

      I am able to use this bath bomb twice which is great! The scent is incredible, and makes your skin feel very soothed. But... The water looks gross and I usually wouldn't mind that, but the gritty stuff on the bottom is a problem for me. I am rating Honey Bee bath bomb 4/5 stars because it is great except for the grittiness. This is a bath bomb that I think that everyone would like. The next time I use Honey Bee I am going to put it into a pair of pantyhose an see if that helps.

     I hope you guys are having a super fantabulous day that is full of glitter!!!

Retro Reviews: The Sicillian Bath Bomb

    The Sicillian bath bomb is a retro item. It smells like the skin on a fresh peeled orange and is very refreshing. When you drop it into the water it fizzes very fast and a slice of orange comes out along with pulp. The pulp I don't mind at all but Im not sure how I feel about an entire slice of orange.... It freaked me out a little bit because it was brown and all dried out. I don't know about you but I typically don't put old fruit slices into my bath. 

     Besides that it was a very nice bath. It makes your skin feel very clean but not dried out. I am able to use it twice which is great! I am rating The Sicillian 3/5 stars. Besides the orange slice in the middle it wasn't a bad bath it just didn't do too much. Nothing really happened to my skin and the water was kind of dull. It smelled really nice and overall was a very refreshing bath.

     Have a great day everyone. And if you aren't having a great day take a Lush bath for crying out loud!!! Haha bye guys:)

Rockstar Soap!

     I don't know if you guys caught on, but the last two reviews along with this one are almost identical scents. So along with MMM and Creamy Candy I'm finishing it off with....

 

     Rockstar Soap is a classic Lush product. It smells like sugar,strawberries, cotton candy, bubble gum, and anything sweet! It has a great moisturizing lather and feels like a luxury product. It is one of Lush's more expensive soaps but it's worth it! It feels very creamy but not greasy whatsoever. I love this soap and would recommend it to anyone who loves that scent. If you do not like the scent you may hate it:/ It is very strong and sweet. I think that every lushie should try out Rockstar soap. There isn't much more to say except it is incredible! The one downside is that it doesn't dry fast and melts in the shower very fast! I do not leave mine in the shower but I feel it still melts away quickly. This product is a 4.5/5 because it is a little melty at times. Have a fantabulous day everyone! Smile and shine!!!
