Space Girl Bath Bomb!!!

     Space girl bath looks like a purple planet with a dash of glitter! It smells like black currant, vanilla, candy, and sparkles! Lush was genius with the creation of this scent because it is very age friendly. I can see 5 year olds loving it and 50 year olds and up loving it! The scent is sophisticated and feminine but still has the sweetness  of candy. Space girl, like limited edition Cinders, has popping candy in it! Space girl didn't pop as much as Cinders but still served its purpose of sounding like passing meteorites! After the bath bomb stopped fizzing, it left a whisper of white foam on the surface of the water which was beautiful and artistic with the little gold and silver glitters. As soon as the water was disturbed the foam went away. When you get out of the bath you will probably have delicious smelling skin and will be speckled with glitter. One of my favorite qualities of Space girl is the scent, it will help you drift off to sleep. One of the downfalls is the price quality. It is 4.2 fluid ounces which is in the middle of the small and large sized bath bombs from Lush. It costs $5.25 and I recommend only using it once. The color of the water is a transparent purple that comes off as foggy lavender. If you used any less of the bath bomb than all of it you would have very ugly gray water. Overall I think Space girl deserves 4/5 stars. The experience was very enjoyable but the price stings a little bit and I was not fond of the glitter getting stuck to me.

Amandopondo Bubble Bar!

Amandopondo is scented of rose, lemon, and orange oils. When you run the bath and use Amandopondo, the bubbles are light and airy. They remind me of poly-fill in a way. There is a light fresh scent that is mind clearing and gives off positive energy and positive vibes. Not to mention positive feeling skin! It makes your skin soft and smooth to the touch. I also love the look of the bubble bar. It is a white oval with a dried rose bud sticking out of the top. It is classy and elegant. I would imagine that in the old days this is what a costly bubble bar would look like. There isn't much to say about Amandopondo other than its smell is refreshing and it makes nice light bubbles. I am giving this bubble bar 4/5 stars because the bubbles aren't too durable. They pop easily when touched or moved.

Fantabulous Friday: Angel Candy!

     Using up the rest of your holiday products? Well here is a delicious bath to relax you and make you feel magically incredible! Start with running water and hold The Magic Wand bubble bar underneath it. When you have enough bubbles throw in half of a Luxury Lush Pud. You can scrub your hair and body with Rose Jam shower gel to get luscious and smooth skin. If you have especially dry areas take Snowcake soap and repeat over the needed areas. Finish up with a layer of Dream Cream that will give you angelic skin! This bath is very relaxing, pampering, and not to mention yummy! More specifically it smells like you are in a candy shop, but don't worry! It's not too strong!

   

     Don't forget to take your contagious smile everywhere you go!

Retro Reviews: Coolaulin Conditioner

     Coolaulin hair conditioner is made for curly frizzy hair and is awesome! It is made with coconuts and leaves your hair smelling sugary and sweet. This is the most moisturizing hair conditioner I have used from Lush. It makes your hair silky, soft, and smooth but doesn't take out your natural curls or way them down! If you give it a few minutes to sink into your hair you will be shocked! Your hair will absorb so much of the product there will be very little to rinse off. I can't recommend the Coolaulin conditioner enough and I think that everyone can use it too, not just curly hair girls. If you have thin or fine hair, curly and course, or any kind of hair you will still like Coolaulin. Because of this I am giving Coolaulin 5/5 stars. The only reason why someone wouldn't like this conditioner is if you don't like the smell of coconut or sweets. It smells most strongly of coconut when you are using it in the shower and is very faint afterwards. Your hair will mostly smell like sweets afterward and the coconut isn't too identifiable. This is a retro product so you have to order it online and you can't try a sample first but I can almost completely guarantee that you won't have problems with it. I haven't found any at least! 

Have a wonderful day everyone! Pour out some of the love and happiness of your heart on someone else today:) 

Dream Cream:)

     Dream Cream is a Lush cult favorite and for good reasons! It is a lightly herbal scented hand and body lotion. A little bit goes a long way and a little bit is very moisturizing, calming, and relaxing! It is a lightweight formula that leaves your skin very soft. It would be a wonderful daily lotion. It sinks into your skin very fast making it versatile for day or night. I prefer to use it at night because of its calming essence and relaxing and soothing scent and feel. I am giving Dream Cream 5/5 stars and I now understand why everyone loves it so much!

Retro Reviews: Chai Shower Gel

     Chai shower gel is wonderful! It makes you smell like a chai latte in the best way haha! I don't know how Lush does it but the scent is dead on! Chai is a retro item and is only sold online. If you use it on your head you will notice that it is very gently on your scalp and hair but still leaves it clean. The lather is great and is light and foamy. If you drizzle Chai in a loofa it becomes a bubbley mess! It leaves your skin feeling soft and super duper silky! It is such a luxurious product which is why I am giving it 5/5 stars! Most shower gels from Lush I find to be overpriced and not quite worth the money. This shower gel and Rose Jam shower gel are the only exceptions in my book haha! I highly recommend putting in an online order and to pop this little puppy in your cart! You will not be disappointed!

Fiery, Spicy, Happy!

Fiery, Spicy, Happy!

     It was so cold outside and I needed something to warm me up so I created this bathtub full of spicy scents! To start I took about a 6th of a Karma bubble bar, but take as much as you want to fix it to your likings. Once bubbles where everywhere and there was enough water in the bath I threw in some fire! I took my Cinders bathbomb and listened and relaxed to the sound of a crackling fire...also know as popping candy!!! I used Karma soap but immediately regretted it. You can find out why in my last post. So I ended up washing my body again but this time with Chai retro shower gel. I also used this in my hair! I really wanted to spoil my skin so I took my Snowcake soap and lathered up! It's so buttery and creamy! To wash my face, I used Let The Good Times Roll face cleanser, it is a classic! Overall this is a warm, smooth, spicy, and softening bath. Follow up with your favorite moisturizer and you will be good to go! I used the Dream Cream moisturizer and my skin was so happy in its silky smooth glory! Btw I made this bath again and didn't use a Cinders bomb in it and enjoyed the bath just as much and maybe even more!

I hope you all enjoy your tubby time! XO- Mikayla! Don't forget to watch my last YouTube video! My channel is cottoncandy23! bye bye:)

Karma Bubble Bar

     Karma bubble bar has the Lush favorite scent "Karma!" It has notes of pine, patchouli, and light citrus. I cannot tell you how many times I almost bought Karma bubble bar and never did. Just recently I finally bought it and I surely made a good choice! You can use this bubble bar many times, probably 6 times if you are being generous yet proportionate. The scent is very diluted but still distinct when it is being used. Because the scent isn't as over bearing it becomes very relaxing! I love using it after I exercise because it relaxes all of my muscles including my brain! Afterwards my skin is very soft. My one wish for this product would be to have more moisture. There is currently no moisturizing qualities and as you may know plain hot baths are very drying and bad for your skin if you don't moisturize somewhere in the process. Therefore if you don't use lotion after the bath you will look and feel like a crusty old cracker. Haha overall I am giving Karma a gracious 5/5. I would say 4/5 because of the moisture aspect but Lush doesn't claim for Karma to have any moisturizing qualities to it. If you are a die hard Lushie I would recommend buying Karma because I think you will enjoy it. If you are not a full on Lushie I don't doubt you will enjoy Karma but it isn't the one of the first I would recommend buying. 

Karma Soap

     Karma soap is the soap to Lush's world famous scent. Karma smells of patchouli and pine and is overall a warm, spicy, clean scent. It has notes of citrus and some people tell me they think it smells like cleaning products. When you use the red slice of soap it glides nicely on your skin and leaves a good lather. This is my favorite soap texture for sure but I had one big problem with it. When I used it on a patch of eczema I have it burned it like crazy! I have never encountered this problem with any Lush product before. I think it was irritating because of all of the scent packed into the formula.

     After I got out of the bathroom I noticed that I still smelled of Karma. This can be good or bad depending. My overall review is 3/5 stars. I personally don't like how strongly your skin is scented afterwards and the burning sensation is a big drawback. I did enjoy the texture and formula of the lather and if I hadn't had the problems I did, this would be a favorite of mine. 

             

Fantabulous Friday: Here's to the New Years!

     Here's to the New Years! This bath cocktail contains all sorts of wonderful uplifting scents! Let's start by using a small slice of The Christmas Penguin bubble bar. If you need some glitz and shimmer don't be afraid to use a piece of Sunny Side bubble bar too! Both of these bubble bars will leave a scrumptious citrus scent. Now that you have bubbles it's time to scrub a dub dub with Angels Delight soap to stop the cold from stealing the moisture from your skin! Now for one of my new favorites!!! Take Sandy Santa and scrub away dead  cells while letting moisture seep into your delicate skin. You will be left with the lingering scent of sugary oranges. If your scalp needs a good scrub down too, grab Rub Rub Rub and ensure that snow won't be falling from your head if you catch my drift! To moisturize your hair load up your locks with Happy Happy Joy Joy conditioner! If your body still needs a last coat of warmth and moisture, Celebrate lotion is the icing on the cake! By the time you are ready to leave the bathroom your mood will be bright and your spirits will be lifted! Happy New Year to all of you lushies!

Angels Delight Soap!

     Angels Delight soap looks and smells like you are licking a lollipop under a rainbow. It glides on to your skin with a gel like texture. It lathers up into foamy bubbles and smells even more delicious! It doesn't have any outstanding benefits to your skin but it is refreshing and seals in moisture. Angels Delight is perfect for little girls or grown up girly girls! I am rating this soap 4/5 stars because it is less expensive and has a magical scent that stops any negativity from ruining your day!

     I hope you all had wonderful holidays and you are ready for this new year! Let's make 2014 a year of change. We need to stop falling into what society says about us. Stick to your morals and try to help and change the world. If you feel passionate about something please pursue it! If you know that you shouldn't join your friends and make fun of the new kid at school then don't! If you see a homeless person don't walk by them and treat them like nothing because that's what everyone else does. If the world believes in equality so much let's act on our beliefs! There is so much negativity everywhere and we have the choice to help. I hope that we all make one of our New Years resolutions to change the world one smile at a time.
