Pink Petals

Here's a small recap of LUSH's amazing Christmas event that I was able to visit last month. This event was so fun, filled with activities and treats.
 There was a Soap Bar with so many pretty and fragrant soaps. Vanessa from Citron and Guavaberry pointed out that they looked a lot like cheese wheels, which turns out to be the inspiration of Yog Nog, Snowcake and Old Father Time.  Others soaps included Reindeer Rock and Baked Alaska.
 
Next up are the fresh face masks! LUSH usually displays a bar of masks they offer, but for this event they set up a Cranberry Festive Face Mask stand. Here, all the ingredients in the Cranberry Festive Face Mask were laid on a table while one of the employees mixed up a batch. The most stand out ingredients were the tofu, fresh fennel, fennel seeds and red clay powder.
At the Fun Station, there was an array of Fun products - a multi-purpose and moldable soap. It's literally like Play-Doh - but soap! Attendees played around and made their own little figures. No, I did not make the santa and snowman, I'm not that artistic haha.
Onto the final and favourite part of the night - the DIY Bath Bomb Station! We got to press our own Stardust bath bombs with the help of Sammy, and bring them home to enjoy! I snapped a pic of Vanessa hard at work here hehe.
Anddddd the goodies I got to take home! LUSH was very generous with their products and I can't wait to review all of them!

Here is Sally Hansen's Miracle Gel polish in Red Eye. It's an glossy candy apple red and applies super opaque - I used 2 coats, but one will do it too!

Last month, Chick Advisor hosted a Shop Crawl at Dufferin Mall in Toronto. Tickets were $20 and included a free tea from David's Tea, a $10 gift card to Winners/Marshalls and a stamp card, sort of like a passport, with discounts at participating stores. Honestly, I didn't think I would buy anything, but I found so many good deals, especially at the Gap Factory Store ($30 jeans?! Say whattt!!!).
The stamp card encouraged attendees to visit the stores and collect all the stamps in exchange for a swag bag full of goodies which included:
Aveeno Skin Relief Hand Cream
Revlon Ultra HD Lipstick in Gladiolus
Softlips CUBE Lip Moisturizer in Fresh Mint
Neutrogena Hydro Boost Gel Cream
Younique Moodstruck 3D Fiber Lashes
Nivea In-Shower Nourishing Body Milk
Reversa antioxidant booster serum
Nivea Express Eye Makeup Remover
COLAB Extreme Volume Dry Shampoo
Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Set in Red Eye

Can't wait to try out these products! A huge thanks to ChickAdvisor for such a fun shopping event!

I have been dying to get my hands on one of Urban Decay's Naked Flush palettes, and when Native went on sale I jumped at the opportunity. Urban Decay's Naked Flush palettes contain a bronzer, highlighter and a blush to create the perfect travel palette.
The colours in this palette compliment each other fairly well. The powders are pressed together, so there isn't a separation barrier between the three powders.
The bronzer is a beautiful medium brown with a slight shimmer, ideal for medium skin tones.
The highlighter is a light and shimmery pink toned highlighter.
The blush is a fairly bright blue toned Barbie pink, but it isn't too pigmented which is great if you're scared of over blushing. 

I really love this palette, especially in the colder weather since my combination skin can afford to have some shimmer added.

What's your favourite Urban Decay Palette?

One of Bzzagent's most recent campaign was the CoverGirl LashBlast Fusion mascara, and just in time as I was deciding which mascara to use for the Fall! Covergirl's LashBlast Clump Crusher is definitely one of the most raved drugstore mascaras, but I decided to pick Fusion because it's supposed to provide volume and length - exactly what I need for my short straight lashes.
I'll be honest - I have yet to find much of a difference that mascara makes on my eyelashes. They're just that short and straight, and oddly if I curl them, they sometimes hit the lenses of my glasses. So for me, mascaras are just there to make my lashes more visible.
My favourite thing about this mascara is the wand. I freaking love plastic wands - I find they don't clump up as much as brush wands, and comb through my lashes beautifully. The formula itself is pretty long lasting and does not budge - it's practically waterproof. If you're a fan of CoverGirl mascaras, you should definitely check this one out!

What's your favourite drugstore mascara?

October has gone - which means an empties post!
I'll admit, I got REALLY lazy with my, erm, maintenance this month. I didn't finish any full sized items, but I got through a couple samples. PROGRESS!
Samples:
Olay Ultra Moisture Body Wash
Clinique Step 3 Clarifying Lotion
Renewing Argan Oil of Morocco Shampoo & Conditioner
Jergens Shea Butter
Raspberry Roots Sleeping Mask
My Beauty Diary Apple Polyphenol Mask
Sampar Ultra Hydrating Fluid
Salvador Dali ItIsDream Perfume
Skinfood Tomato Whitening Toner
Olay Regenerist Micro Sculpting Cream
Biotherm Aquasource Gel

None of these samples really wowed me, so I won't be purchasing the full sized items anytime soon.
