Fantabulous Friday: Sweet Dreams Rosie:)

     Sweet Dreams Rosie is centered around sugar and roses. Relaxing, rejuvenating, and moisturizing. This is the perfect bath to get yourself or your child ready and calmed down to sleep,casting the mindset for perfectly sweet dreams.
    For a few bubbles but mostly the scent, take a fair amount of Sweetie Pie shower jelly. Take an old pair of pantyhose and cut off the foot. Place your shower jelly in the toe. Then take a rubber band and secure the partial pantyhose onto the faucet. This will let Sweetie Pie dissolve while giving of an enchanting sugary berry scent and some bubbles. Unfortunately, the bubbles aren't very durable but the scent is too good to pass up! 
     Now take a piece of your Melting Marshmallow Moment (also know as MMM) bath melt and let it fill your bath water with moisture and a light cotton candy scent! Where are the roses you may ask? They are inside of your bottle of Rose Jam limited edition shower gel! Moisturized skin and fabulous hair await you! I like to use Forever in Bloom retro hair conditioner to follow up because it gets rid of fly-aways. It doesn't moisturize your hair well but you don't need any more moisture after using Rose Jam! If your skin needs a good scrubbing just grab Buffy! She will leave you with smooth silky legs and your pajamas with be that much cozier! You may want to stay in a bathrobe for a few minutes to let the Cocoa and Shea butters sink into your skin. When you wake up and feel your skin you may still think you're in a dream!



I hope you enjoy this bath and let me know if you do on my Instagram @thelushlifexo. Sorry I haven't been posting anything below my blogs recently. I've been a little down and didn't have much to say. But I am ok now that I took this bath lol! Please send some positive thoughts my way and I'll send some your way too! I may add a virtual hug! Love you all! xoxo Mikayla:)

Tip Tuesday!

     Tip Tuesday! Have you ever had a product that you LOVED but had a scent that you HATE? It is rare, but it happens. The product is too good to pass up but the scent makes you  feel sick. Here's a quick fix to make everything better. Burn a candle! It will cure the scent but you still get awesome effects from the product!

Fantabulous Friday! Smooth Citrus

     We all know and hate that mid-winter depression when all you need is sunnier days! Here is a nice cocktail to brighten your mood without making you smell like a clean wooden table. To start off chop a Father Christmas bath bomb in half, it's surprisingly easy to cut it so that you get to use half the face! Snow Globe soap will bring a fruity citrus scent and clean skin! Ice Blue shampoo brings the feeling of crisp chilled hair I mean air!;) To keep the scent and your hair smooth use Forever in Bloom hair conditioner. And if you need to put on a coat of armor against the cold use Each Peach (and two's a pair!) or Therapy massage bar. This bath will give you a calming, refreshing, and positive mood. You will feel your skin thanking you too! Smooth, soft, moisturized, clean, and warm you will be!!!

Seanik Solid Shampoo Bar

    Seanik shampoo bar smells kinda iffy. It really smells like you're at the beach next to some seaweed. It foams up nicely and gives a fair amount of volume but it isn't phenomenal. I love that it rinses out of your hair easily. I was able to use it 50 times (I counted) and more but I had a little malfunction... It was sitting in water for a few days and melted A LOT! I do not recommend buying a tin for the shampoo that they offer because 1. It doesn't let the bar dry even if the lid is off 2. The containers are impossible to open especially if it's wet. I am rating Seanik 3/5 stars because it stinks and it makes my hair knotty. There isn't a good way to store them or at least I haven't found a way! Haha:) I won't be repurchasing this shampoo bar but I would like to try others. I think that the whole idea of the solid shampoo is a hate love relationship thing. 

     What do you all think about the Fond Farewells from Lush? Let me know on my Instagram @thelushlifexo

Rose Jam Shower Gel!!!!

     Rose Jam limited edition shower gel is a dream! It smells like Ro's Argan body conditioner and Rose Jam bubble bar which is a soft rose scent. It makes a frothy foam when used with a loofa but doesn't lather much at all without a loofa. For the most gentle and luxurious wash use a washcloth. It transforms your skin to be soft, moisturized, and especially smooth. 

     If you travel often or need to pack light for the holidays this is a great 3 in 1 product because it is wonderful to use in your hair! It cleans your hair but doesn't leave it stripped. It has the same affect on your hair as it does your skin soft, moisturized, and smooth. It has just enough moisture to help your ends but not enough to make you oily. I use conditioner 1-2 times a week so I don't need a ton of moisture but you might.
     Honestly I think that Lush shower gels are over priced and that still applies to Rose Jam. It is a wonderful product but I think a reasonable price is $20-$25 dollars. I am rating Rose Jam limited edition shower gel 4/5 stars because of the price. And I wish it was slightly more moisturizing.

Butterball Bath Bomb

     Butterball bath bomb is a very unique bath bomb even though it looks very boring. It smells like cocoa butter,chocolate, and vanilla. It smells like you are drowning in a bath full of hot chocolate with whip cream (doesn't look that way though!) As it fizzes, lots of little chunks of cocoa butter come out and melt. The water becomes very oily and the water on your skin looks like water on wax paper. It is very moisturizing and would be great to use in winters at night. It leaves a residue on your skin so I wouldn't recommend using this anytime except for before bed. It retails for $4.95 and is a small bath bomb. I think it is worth the price though because of the scent, what it does for your skin, and the relaxing qualities of it. I am rating Butterball bath bomb 5/5 stars because it is so unique. The only downside is that you can't wash your hair in the water, but it is still worth it!

 * Under all circumstances DO NOT put your hair in the water!!!* 

I hope you have a great day and don't forget to leave your requests in the comments on my Instagram @thelushlifexo !

Tip Tuesday!

     It's Tip Tuesday again! Is it just me or do the labels on lush products always rub off? I hate when that happens because you need the expiration dates but they always seem to fade. It usually only happens to the "Made by who ever...." A trick to save the label iiiissssss (drum roll please!) CLEAR NAILPOLISH! Take your top coat polish and paint it onto the sticker. This saves the date because it keeps water out and stops any friction that would scratch the print off! Hope this helps you all out!
