Lush vs. Lush, Oatifix vs. Love Lettuce, Soft Skin vs Spot Fighting (and review)



Hey lovelies,

ok wweeeeellllll the other day i went to lush with a bestie who also blogs..she bought some stuff, i bought some stuff. she has her haul up already.....im doing it now so i can do some reviews...i only bought 2 things (for myself) and a prezzie for my sister......

i bought Gingerbread House Bubble Bar, jeanette bought me Oatifix face mask (hi jj if u reading this)and i bought my sister the Boog Bath Bomb..........

ok to the point.... i am gonna do a battle between the face masks , no not like Harry Hill's FIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHTS but a vs/vs thing.......




VS.
love lettuce left and Oatifix right.......................

Love lettuce:
LUSH SAYS: All skin types can benefit from the deep cleansing goodness of Love Lettuce. Fuller's earth and kaolin will act to draw dirt out and cleanse the pores, while almond oil and seaweed gel will soften. Has Polishing Almond. Kaolin and Fullers Earth with Lavender.

I SAY: Amazing product. I used around 2 a week and lasted around 3 weeks bought a while ago but still have sove......i (had) have oily skin and this COMPLETELY dried me out. to the point though i was peeling, i should use only once a week. but it does soften has smooth-as-a-babies-butt skin and i love the feeling of it on ur skin. i usually had what i call a Lush Bath, a bath bomb, a face mask and a good book. It says put it on 5-10 minsbut usually i did round 20 mins. i used it till it felt crumbly and dry... then washed it off...bad thing though once u clean out ur sink or bath or whatevs u washed ur face in pieces of 'gritt' are left all over. i used a thick layer and i looked a bit like a green space monkey with it on.....it is an amazing exfoliater and once it is dry while washing it off do it in circular motions is recomended. it has a soft but gritty texture due to the exfoliating bits (i think almond shell) and brightens ur face really well.

WHAT I LIKED: surprisingly the texture, the clean slightly lettucy smell, the after affects = smooth brighter skin. and packaging, and cooling effect

WHAT I DNT LIKE: the remaining bath residue, the constant use of moisturiser afterwords, long time drying but it did help relax...


OATIFIX:

LUSH SAYS: Oatifix. Oats and bananas are super-softening, and when you come to wash off the mask, you can use the ground almonds in Oatifix to give your skin a very light exfoliating scrub.

WHAT I SAY: i love the oaty sweet honey porridge scent, it has a nice soft texture but kinda lumpy and weird, softens skin......weirdly it does take away undereye darkness and now my dark undereyes parts are lighter!!!!!!1 no idea how that happened but o well...it does soften skin but where my first ever facemask - Love Lettuce dried, i dont think this one does or it will just take ages...

WHAT I LIKED: i liked the scent, the undereye coverage, skin softing powers...

WHAT I DNT LIKE: the lump texture, the long drying process, the does not even help combat spots..............




TIME FOR RESULTS...........................................................................
THE WINNER IS.......................LOVE LETTUCE (woooooo, cheers)

ok wel ya love lettuce one....

ok well now im doing a review on my fave probs ever LUSH PRODUCT....Gingerbread House Bubble Bar....

ok i was feelin sick, as i am now - off school...i think i have tonsillitus, my glands are all blaaaaa.ok well Gingerbread house is the perfect xmas treat sadly its limited addition cause i would love my room endlessly smelling like this... the orange part is the proper ginger part. smells like xmas spices, GOOD ENOUGH to eat. sadly i didnt try it.........the white part smells like vanilla sprinkles...i crubled it in the bath,my first ever bubble bar nd it blossomed into ginger sprinkle bubbles and vanilla ginger ocloured bath water. YUM. i loved it, it took away my f/w blues. i recomen it soooooooooo much....
UPCOMING PURCHASES WILL BE - The Boog bath bomb, more gingerbred hous buble bars, brazened honey face mask , catastrophe cosmetic, bb seaweed or cupcake face masks, breath of fres air cleanser.....:)

hve a gd weekend and dnt get sick xxxxxx

Pretty Little Liars, Good? YES YES YES YES

omg hey sweeties,
well i started watching a show on tv shack since i dont have VIVA..... and it was Pretty Little Liars - PLL.........

Pretty Little Liars (chose pink writting cause i think it suits the show) is about 4/5 girls:
  • Spencer
  • Hanna
  • Aria
  • Emily
  • A/Allison
They used to be all best friends, having a usual sleepover. They wake up and Allison is gone!
Spencer went out looking for her but shes not anywhere. Then Aria goes to Iceland for like a year and all the rest of the girls lose touch. When Aria gets back they face the evil battles of an anonymous texter/emailer/writer/etc...called A. Allison used to sign her texts -A. just like this anon person. A few days l8er Allison is found buried. Died from suffocation. As soon as the funeral is over, they all recieve a text. from -A!!!!!!!!!!!!! there all spooked and they keep on getting these texts. ok, this isnt there only life problems. except all from being ESPECIALLY beautiful (especially Hanna), there lives are all messed up. Spencer kissed her older sisters boyfriend, Hanna's dad is getting married - to a different woman, Aria's parents are fighting and Emily is 'secretly' a lesbian. the girls are scared, Allison was the only person who knew individual secrets, none of them new Allisons. eventually all the secrets come out, including A's identity but only Hanna just finds out, but who hit her with a car - making her (TEMPORARILY) lose her memory. whats gonna happen next? I know.......keep in touch if u want to find out more.
comment if u wanna kno more.......

MADE FROM BOOKS, on viva at 8pm every thursday.

How much is the kitty in the window!!!

(title inspired by episode 5 or 6 of 90210 season 3 - not out in uk but available online - how much is the liam in the window (i dont care cause id buy him anyways, nomnomnomnomnnom))

Hey,
so halloween is in the air, mm favey time of year i love that crisp smell and now i cnt wait till the 5th of november- BONFIRE NIGHT i love the smell of burning leaves and bonfires , the cold cripy air mmmmmmmmmm.......... makes me want a hot chocolate thinking about it (i like hot chocolate- OPTIONS ALL THE WAY) and as u probs wouldnt of guess im being a kittycat ma lovelies...so i have a little pre review-test/poll-quiz ur choice thingy..............i went to my nearest superdrug earlier at around 12? maybes and bought 2 lipsticks. yes 2, the dreaded choice which 1!
ok A)


MUA Shade 1 - £1
wowzies ma little fwendies, this traffic stopping plum red is a winner. for a £ a simple uno poundy .......ok ive tried it on my lips with out any thing on - but did use a lip exfoliator by lush last night. and it went on smoothly but quite soft so easily slips. its a nice dark deep red with brown undertones and plum overtones. it is though hard to get off but usually halloween makeup is.... i lick the simple useful packaging - nothing to impressibe but for a pound its what u expect i guess and i like how it shows the colour on the bottom...i like this colour and would look really good with dark makeup - which im doing. PICTURES WILL BE COMING UP AFTER HALLOWEEN of my makeup and outfit.....i love this shade- i did want shade 6 i think which was a barbie glittery pink but out of stock :(
but im happy with this :)


b)
Collection 2000 Pink Shock - £1.99?
WOWOWOW this is a picture off google and its amazin. the camera doesnt pick up the brightness but it is amazing. bright pink! it is matte and really is a bit stiff but hopefully will warm up over time - FEW DAYS. it does look nice on and would need a balm underneath - probs The Blue Tin or vaseline......i like itttttttttt... and i like how the colour in the bottle does come off on the lips - i have shade 100 by barrym and comes of like a white not the barbie pink, and the packaging is soo cute, simple shiny black with a slanted lid with little pink 'beads' on and pink edges..........




so which one??? for nails im doing a BRIGHT coraly pink - la colours Lightning, probs with some black detail. kitty ears, and bunches with rollers in my hair overnight and take them out during the day to get Oomph and a black lace skirt from H&m - last years, a prezzie from my sister never worn and a black plain v-neck tight...with tights and a leather jacket. for makeup i will be using:
  • sleek i-divine original 12 colour palette - the black
  • eyeko graffiti pen in black
  • primark eyeliner or barrym ANY BLACK KOHL PENCIL I CAN FIND
  • concealer
  • powder (i want the pale cakeyish makeup )
  • one of these lipsticks
shoes - no idea!

well thats it xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxjust a quickie post! wat u doing for halloween?
