Review: LUSH Shimmy Shimmy Sparkle Bar (Photos + swatches)


 
 
This product came inside of a LUSH gift box I had picked up earlier this month (post).  I was excited to try it out, especially since it smelled so nicely.  I used it during my vacation in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico one evening.  It was glitter/shimmer city! The glitter ended up on everything and everyone; my husband, sister, and even my sister’s boyfriend had it on them.  It was pretty funny.  The glitter lasts a long time, which can also be a con for some people.

The shimmer did make me feel like a teenager.  I will probably end up giving it to my niece.  It’s just not for me.  It did look nice after it began to wear off.  Good thing it came in that gift box, otherwise, I wouldn’t have picked it up.  I also think it would probably work better on a lighter skin tone.

 
 

Product description via Lush.com

Make your skin shimmer.

This one gives you vanilla-scented glowing skin. It’s shaped like an abstract heart and smells rather beautifully of vanilla and lavender, with a hint of herbal clary sage. Shimmy Shimmy is considered the crowning achievement in Helen’s experiments with fragrance.

Make your skin shine.

The real attraction is the way it makes your skin shine. The glitter is very subtle, but ever so effective, giving your skin a pinky-bronze glow that lights up pale, wintery skin.

Lavender

Lavender oil is antiseptic, antibacterial, deodorizing and relaxing.

Review: Lovemode.com Affordable, trendy junior clothing

I was contacted to do a review of any one of the shirts/dresses from lovemode.com.  Lovemode offers a large selection of trendy, cute, and affordable (most items are priced in the $20 range) junior’s fashion clothing for any occasion.  Before you start with the “Oh you’re not a junior” crap.  I know that.  Good thing I am small enough (even after having a baby) to fit into junior-sized clothing.

 

 

 

For the review, I chose the Royal Blue Ruffle Dress (it comes in green too).  The original price is $26.89 and it’s currently onsale for $20.17.  I chose this dress for the color (blue and purple are my favorites), and the style.  I love that it has pockets too.  If you see my closet, most of my dresses have pockets; I’m obsessed!  This is the perfect dress to slip on & just go.  You can dress it up or down with different accessories and shoes.

 

 

The weather here in NYC has been up and down, and way too cold to wear what I chose.  I did think about pairing it with a sweater, tights or leggings,  and boots but since I breast feed, the dress was an inconvenience.  I couldn’t wear it to work because it is way too short, and I don’t get down like that – for work at least .:lol:. With that said, I ended up wearing it during my recent vacation in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.  This was the perfect time because the weather was perfect; low to mid-80’s and no rain, and I didn’t have to worry about having access to my breasts.

 

 

The dress is comfortable and cool. My only complaint would probably be that it is hard to get out of.  There’s no zipper, so you have to pull the dress over your head.  The cinching at the waist makes that a little difficult.  But, for the price I can overlook that.

 

I would suggest purchasing clothing from lovemode.com, especially if you are looking for an outfit for the club or for your next vacation.  Lovemode.com always has special offers & shipping deals on their Facebook page. As a matter of fact, they are currently having a 25% off Winter Clearance sale with free shipping for orders over $50.
