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:)
