Rumor Has It - Adele




Hey guys! Sorry for the lack of posts lately. I've been so so busy.... I mean really busy.. And sick....ugh. Anyway, I am finally getting around to posting some about my trip..

One of the things I was introduced to while in Florida was LUSH handmade cosmetics. SRSLY amazing. My friends had told me about it and basically said I needed it in my life.... They were right. Its life changing.

I went to the first LUSH in Orlando and bought lip scrub (OMG YUM) I was skeptical... But now I can never go back.. EVER. The second time I went was in NYC not even a week later. I took pictures this time. The store was tiny, but so many people were in there.. Obviously this store is awesome and I was just the last person to find out.

When in NYC I bought a body butter bar that you use in the shower.. I would have shown it butttttt... I didn't think you'd wanna see a used shower bar lol but its amazinnng.

All the products are handmade and organic... Most of them come with a sticker on them with a picture of the person who made it... How awesome?

Anyway... I basically love this place. Have you all ever tried LUSH, and if you have... What should I try next?

Grade 8 - Ed Sheeran

Hey there! I hope everyone had a great Easter weekend. Mine was very relaxing. I'm going to London in a few months, so on Friday I went shopping for clothes. I passed Sephora and couldn't help stopping in to pick this up. I've been dying for their Pantone color of the year polish set! I have been seeing everyone wearing this color. I've been obsessing over it and I finally got it for myself! I am Tangerine Tango's biggest fan. I love this color for this spring and summer! Plus, the orange and little + symbols on the bottles remind me of Ed Sheeran. :P

It comes with four polishes for $24.




From left to right:
  • Tangerine Tango Shimmer
  • Tangerine Tango Matte
  • Tangerine Tango Creme
  • Tangerine Tango Glitter



It was so beautiful outside yesterday. I was sitting outside painting my nails, so I decided to snap some pictures in the grass :)

Have you tried out any of Sephora + Pantone's Tangerine Tango products? What do you think? Are you loving this color as much as I am?

Kiss Me When You Come Home - Hanson




My friend Fallon makes these amazing organic scented body scrubs and olive oil soaps. She had sent me a jar of her Favorite Sugar Cookie body scrub a few months ago to try out and it is amazing! So naturally I ordered a bunch of different scents to try.


I wanted to review each one of them separately because they are each so different & amazing on their own. Plus if I scrubbed my legs with all four on the same night I might not have any skin left on my legs!! I try to only exfoliate 2-3 times a week.



First up is Kiss Me When You Come Home body scrub & olive oil soap made with vanilla, pomegranate, & peppermint. This stuff smells soooooo good. The really great thing about all of her scrubs is that one scent doesn't over power the others. They are blended to perfection.



The scrub did settle some during shipping like most everything does so I just stuck my finger in the jar to mix it up. I tend to get really dry shins & hands during the winter/spring so after I was in the shower, I scooped up a hand full of the scrub & worked it all over my legs. Then just rinse. Since I had ordered the olive oil soap that's the same scent I washed my whole body in it after the scrub. It feels so good!! I promise this stuff is awesome!




After I dried off, my legs felt SO good that I didn't even put any lotion on. No need to. It felt like I already had it on but it didn't feel like it was something left behind or anything. The scent smelled so yummy I seriously wanted to lick my own legs! LOL


Another great thing is that these scrubs & soaps are made from ALL organic ingredients. You can order them through her shop on etsy.com, A Great Escape. They come in super cute packaging & with cute bows on the actual jars.

I hope you enjoyed! Next week I'll review Johnny's Mystery.

Until Then!

I Love You Like A Love Song - Selena Gomez

Hiiiii.

Guys, today.. I have a dupe for you! Earlier this week my friend Spen'sar brought to my attention that wet 'nwild has a dupe for Essie Turquoise and Caicos ,which has been on my wish list for sometime, called I need a refresh mint.

When she told me she also had the polish with her so I could try it out.. I almost squealed with excitement haha.. Anyway, I basically painted my nails with it immediately. I had been resisting buying any of the new wnw polishes because I'm under a 'only buy it if you know you love it' rule and I wasn't sure how I would feel about these.. IM SO GLAD SHE LET ME TRY IT!!!! I seriously loved it, the pictures show two coats of this polish, which I wore for 3 days with no top coat, and had no chips.. Are you kidding me??? That never happens for me.

I also really loved the wide brush. It wasn't quite as wide as opi's pro wide brush but I loved it. Much better than the wet and wild fast dry brushes. If you have any other colors that I should try out from wnw, let me know!!!

xx Summer
