Lush Cosmetics Mini Haul

January 2, 2012 by Kim S. / blog, Hauls, Miscellaneous / 3 Comments

Today, since I had off, and had a waxing appointment at Completely Bare (review coming soon) I stopped by Lush Union Square. I had a $30 giftcard, and had run out of Glogg Shower gel, so I figured I’d run in there with the husband & baby in tow, to pick-up one or two things.

The large bottle of Glogg wa $24 & buy one get one free. I ended up getting that along with a gift box that had

-3.3 fl oz Snow Fairy shower gel

-1.0 oz Shimmy Shimmy Glitter Bar

-2.5 oz Angel’s Delight Soap

Here are a few my husband and I love and want to pick up next…

Sexy Peel – reminds us of lemongrass. I’ve been burning the oil in our home lately.

Miranda

Sultana of Soap – reminds us of our vacation spot, Puerto Vallarta.

Alkmaar

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Holiday Beauty Gift – Sephora Favorites Glitz & Glam Set

December 29, 2011 by Kim S. / blog, Hauls, Miscellaneous / 2 Comments

For Christmas, my sister picked up the Sephora Favorites ‘Glitz and Glam’ Set for me. The set is pretty cool, especially if you’re a girl who loves shimmer and glitter. It’s perfect for right now as well since New Year’s Eve is coming up, and you can create a number of sparkly looks with the Buxom Stay There Eyeshadow, which is a smoky pewter, and with the Sephora Collection Eye Shadow in Starry Sky 07 (black with silver glitter).

There are items in the box set that I’ve wanted to try, but, haven’t had the money to spend on it such as the Benefit High Beam & Stila Lip Glaze.

I like the box it came in. It’s perfect to stash some products in or even use as a temporary jewelry box.

The set also includes:

– 0.13 oz Benefit High Beam
– 0.02 oz Bare Escentuals bareMinerals All Over Color in Glee (soft mauve plum)
– 0.125 oz Sephora by OPI Nail Colour in Charge It! (opaque metallic 24k gold)
– 0.24 oz Tarte Celebutante Dry Oil Shimmer (champagne)
– 0.07 oz Josie Maran Argan Oil Illuminizer (light bronze)
– 0.1 oz Tarina Tarantino Sparklicity Gloss in Paiette (sheer light pink with iridescent shimmer)
– 0.12 oz Ultraflesh Gold Standard Mascara in black
– 0.08 oz Stila Lip Glaze in Vanilla (pearly nude)

I can’t wait to try these products out.
