Lush Boxing Day Haul

Hey guys,

I just wanted to share with you some goodies I bought from Lush just after Christmas. All of their Christmas lines and a few other products were 50% off so I grabbed some items just before they were gone for the year.

Fun Gold :

A limited edition multi-purpose, mouldable soap for body, hair, bath and fun. This particular one comes in a golden lustre and with the scent of Lush's famous Honey, I washed the kids fragrance. Its like play dough for adults. 

Santa's Lip Scrub: 

I love Lush's lip scrubs and when I knew this one smelt of Cola I had to grab it. It is made out of caster sugar and extra virgin olive oil and is a great way to exfoliate your lips without being too harsh.

Sandy Santa Scrub:

This is a body scrub made out of Sugar, Shea Butter, Coconut oil etc. It smells great too thats why I bought two of these. They also last about 2-3 washes so I will be using up both pretty soon. This is a great way to exfoliate and moisturize at the same time.

I love using products from Lush because they not only do the job but also smell great. Another very big advantage is that their products are made using natural ingredients and are cruelty free. You can buy their products from here.

Have you guys tried any of these products before? What do you think of them?

Too Faced Jingle All the Way Palette Swatches and Review

Hey guys,

I am so excited I got my hands on the New Limited Edition Too Faced Jingle All the Way palette which is out now at Kit Cosmetics for $38.95. I thought of doing a swatch and mini review on the palette while its still available.

The palette comes with 11 eyeshadows, 1 blush and 1 bronzer and is in the shape of an Iphone5. It comes with a case which you can use for your phone or just leave it on the palette. 

The variety of the shadows is pretty impressive. There are a few nuetrals and some pops of colour too. Two basic matte shades are included to make a textured eye look. All shades are very pigmented and super soft. Some dark shades do have some fall out but I don't have a problem with that. 

The blush and bronzer are satin finishes with a subtle sheen. Again very pigmented colours.

Below are the swatches of the first 9 shimmery/satin eyeshadows and then the 2 mattes and blush and bronzer below that.

I just did this quick eye look to show the colour payoff on the lids. I did not use any base for this look not even a primer. 

Colour 1- inner lid

Colour 2- middle lid

Colour 3- outer corner lid

Colour 4- crease

Colour 5- brow bone 

Lined upper and lower lash line with colour 3.

Please don't mind my eyebrows I am growing them to change the shape and thus they look weird.

Overall Verdict:

I love the idea of a mini travel friendly palette with wearable colours.

It is a little overpriced $38.95 but in Australia what makeup item is not overpriced.

The Iphone case is not very high quality but it looks pretty cool.

There is only one colour available in Kit as far as I know. I have seen a pink chevron print case on the sephora website, but not sure if we will be getting that in Australia.

It does not come with a mirror so that might be a disadvantage to many.

Eyeshadows are buttery and smooth with amazing colour payoff.

Eyeshadows lasted 6 hours with a primer.

Blush and Bronzer lasted 7 hours on my oily skin.

I have been loving this palette a lot and Too Faced is slowly becoming a favourite brand of mine. This is a cute palette to gift to a friend or to yourself this Christmas. ;) 

PS: Chichi has a similar palette out at Target for $14.95 which includes two Iphone cases, one for Iphone 4 and one for Iphone 5. Check that out on my Instagram pictures if your interested. But I love this palette and would highly recommend atleast checking it out in store.

You can buy it online here.

Hope you all have a lovely weekend!!
