the week in review, in products

There’s nothing like a weekend of complete and utter slobbery to cheer a girl up. I haven’t been this regular-person happy to be spending time alone since…I don’t even remember.

I’ve only been waiting 6 years! Anyway…

Managed to try out a few products this week, not as many as I’d like, of course.

Lush ‘Fever’ massage bar - oh my! This has a heavenly scent that you want to get all over your bedsheets! No, you don’t at all need to have someone to massage you. Just rub it on your body as it’s pretty much solid oils that melt with your body heat, and think of it as a moisturiser. It’s extremely floral and a tad powdery and it’s still lingering on my bedsheets! It’s scented with rose, jasmine and sandalwood. Very nice.

Pop Beauty Bee stung lip stain in ‘Velvet Sting’ - not another lip plumper! I’ve got pretty full lips, so any such product is going to make me look like I’ve been smacked in the mouth. But I loved the colour, medium-dark rose-pink or wine, really flattering colour for autumn. Unlike another lip plumping gloss I’ve tried, this one doesn’t sting or tingle like almighty… Not to mention, it works, makes your lips fuller without pain or surgery. But the brand is a tad expensive here. I do want the shade ‘Ruby Stain’ - a warm tomato-type red with slight gold shimmer.

Little Shop of Beauty Hula girl body souffle in Powder Puff - a light, silky body moisturiser that contains virgin coco de creme so I prefer this for summer, but it took a while to reach me. The scent, as the name suggests is like baby powder, but a bit more perfumish. I love this brand - there is next to no preservatives in their products so you’ve got to use them up quickly, and your order is custom-made when received. A tad expensive, but well worth it, especially if you have sensitive skin!

Pretty small list, I should have jotted down other things I used as I can’t recall them all now. Whoops. There’s the week coming though!
