Lush Jungle Solid Conditioner Review

Lush creates handmade, high quality beauty products and at the beginning of the summer I finally gave in to the delicious smelling Jungle Solid Conditioner. It contains a multitude of beneficial ingredients including cocoa butter, avocado extracts, figs, bananas, passion fruit, kumquat, kiwi, ylang ylang oil, cypress oil and sandlewood oil. Lush boasts smoothing and detangling qualities as well as a delicious fresh scent. How did it stand up in the shower?

Evil Shades Cosmetics: Hardcore Lips and Deviant Lipstick

As you know from my previous post, I recently placed on order with Evil Shades Cosmetics. I was going to do a giant post of awesomeness to show you all of the goodies I got but that would be so incredibly long that I decided to make separate posts for blush, lip products and eye products.

I ordered deviant lipstick samples in Corset and Mage which are packaged in the same clam shells as the eyeshadow and blush samples are. The hardcore lips samples are packaged in cylinder shaped containers which makes containing the gloss easier and makes it less likely that one will make a mess of their hands.... I ordered them in Roue, Dragon's Wing and Anastasia.

Evil Shades Cosmetics: Eyeshadow and Primer

As you know from my previous post, I recently placed on order with Evil Shades Cosmetics. I was going to do a giant post of awesomeness to show you all of the goodies I got but that would be so incredibly long that I decided to make separate posts for blush, lip products and eye products.

I ordered five eye shadows in Victorian Night, Drakon, Mystisizm, Reondite and Glooming. As I already mentioned Andrea is the nicest person ever (see her blog here) and gave me two samples of Evileyes Primer in Naked and Noir. I love the texture of them and I will definitely be purchasing Noir because of how amazing it makes everything look! Here they are along with the adorable Evil Shades girl.

High Voltage Cosmetics: Eyeshadow and Magic Dust Swatches

I heard about High Voltage Cosmetics from a few blogs that I read regularly and once I visited their website I knew I had to try them. I was so excited when I saw their eyeshadow pigment grab bags. For $2.50, High Voltage will send you five 1/4th teaspoon baggies. That comes down to $0.50 a sample! I asked for a random selection and got a good variety of shadows. I ordered 15 samples and I'm happy with all of them. Some colors are basic while others are really unique. Overall, I would say that it was well worth the money. Each color is packaged in a little baggie with a name and ingredients sticker as the company is committed keeping samples at an affordable price for their customers. I also purchased a sample size of magic dust, their super sparkly highlighter.

tokidoki Cromatico Palettes: Adieu, Polpettina and Mozzarella

I love tokidoki. Their products are in adorable packaging, of great quality and well worth the price. The Cromatico Palette are $19 at Sephora.com. They each come with four eye shadows, a mini double-ended brush and a collectable character charm. They are made with rice lipids and vitamin B which makes them very blendable and hydrating for your eyelids. I love the color combinations in these palettes and most likely will get the other two that I'm missing. Each eye shadow comes out to less than $5 which is a great value for product of this quality. All of the colors are very vibrant and last all day without a crease over Two Faced Shadow Insurance. The only downside to the palettes is the extra level under the shadows where the charm is stored. It's a very cute idea and I love my charms; it's just not practical for storage. However it's one small issue that results in getting an adorable charm but still worth mentioning.

tokidoki lip products: Lip Ink and Prisma Gloss

My love of tokidoki has been ongoing since they launched their makeup products at Sephora. Recently there was a lot of discounted products online so I indulged in a quite a few lip and eye products. I bought two Prisma Glosses, a Lip Ink, a Perfetto eyeliner and a third Cromatico palette.

First of all how cute are the boxes that the Prisma Glosses are packaged in.

100% Pure: Purifying Seaweed Facial Mask (what do you mean there's something on my face?)

Nutrient rich Seaweed Mask detoxes facials pores, purges out toxins, leaves your complexion fresh and pure while organic seaweed nourish your skin with antioxidants, vitamins and minerals. Alpha Lipoic Acid and Vitamin C repairs damaged skin, restores elasticity, and strengthens cellular structure.

Benefit Dr. Feel Good

I have been dying to try Dr. Feel Good for about a year now based on the packaging alone. I had no idea what a "velvety complexion balm" was and when in Sephora I can usually find other things to take my mind off such conundrums. However after using other Benefit products and being extremely satisfied with them, I decided to give the doctor a try.

Hello Kitty Charmmy Eyeshadow Stick

Sephora and Hello Kitty are two of my weaknesses and when they're combined I sure can't say no and I admire the resistance I put up for months now. However I couldn't resist after trying Kimono on my hand. It's a lovely dark blue with a very subtle pink shimmer. Picture time!

Lush Shower Jelly: Review

Yesterday I visited Lush and couldn't resist the Shower Jelly after I sampled it in store. The Joy of Jelly smells like jasmine, lily and rose and is super moisturizing thanks to the jasmine absolute and seaweed in there. Not only does it make your skin super soft but its fun! Why use boring soap or shower gel when you can have jelly?

Lush Ring of Roses Soap: Review

While visiting my local Lush to purchase an everyday conditioner, the cashier was nice enough to give me a huge sample of Ring of Roses Soap. I was so excited because I've been interested in trying their shower products as up until this point I had merely used lotions and a deep conditioner.

Orly Polish: Review

This is my first time using Orly Polish, I was really excited to try them out because of the high price tag which to me suggested great quality. I purchased Charged Up, one of the Hot Neons, and It's Up to Blue, a Dazzling Shimmer both of the permanent collection. I did not swatch the blue but Charged Up is my current manicure.
