Princess Diana and Prince Charles’ Wedding- on the occasion of the announcement of William and Kate’s engagement- I had to dig up this old video from Youtube!

My Oatifix Face Mask from LUSH FINALLY got over! The Best By Date was “11/08”. Finished it today, but I didn’t see any change in its consistency. I probably used this mask twice a week on an average. Got a total of at 7-8 uses out of it. This last time, I had to slap a load on my face because I had more than what is reqd for one application, but had a little less for 2X. While the mask helps my dry spots, it does nothing else for me. I am glad it got over! I have the BIG jar of Mask of Magnaminty lying in my freezer. I didn’t read reviews before buying it, else I would have bought the smaller one. Anyone, I am hoping that Magnaminty is gonna help me with my acne.

Since I’ve started using Grease Lightning, I’ve seen a big reduction in my face acne :) So happy to report that. I don’t know if it’s just my imagination, but the tiny black spots on my face have also lightened. I’ve also been using Tea Tree Oil from The Body Shop. I really like it, even though it stings. :)

Charity Pot Promotion

lushluv:

There is a special Charity Pot promotion going on now (available in stores, I assume online soon as well). You can get a 50g pot (Lemony Flutter/face mask size pot) for only $5, and all the money goes to Charity, what could be better? I talked about my feelings on the smell of Charity Pot in my review but I like the feel of it and for $5 I am happy to get it and maybe get some to give away with Christmas gifts.

This is what my girlfriend looks like right now.

A few months ago she has been diagnosed with breast cancer. She had surgery in May and her entire left breast has been removed (it’s called “total mastectomy”) due to the extension of the cancer mass. Also all the lymph nodes of the left armpit have been removed, to stop the cancer from spreading to the rest of the body.

She now needs a lot of medications (chemotherapy) and side treatments (hormone therapy) that cost a fortune, and I’ve been hoping that our faithful followers could help us, because we cannot afford the medical fees for these treatments, especially since they need to last 5 years!

We currently have more than 5200 followers, if only each one donated $1 we would be able to cover the expenses for a couple of months.

If you like this blog and would like to express this appreciation, please consider a small donation to my girlfriend’s fund. No donation is too small, and we will be extremely grateful to each and every donor.

To donate, please click on the picture or on this link.

Thank you very much, from the deep of our hearts.

I teared up reading this. Please consider donating to this worthy cause.

I donated…did you? :-) Please consider donating. Thank you.

A Ring of Roses by LUSH is supposedly REALLY popular. However, I am not sure if it’s working for me. I’ve used it thrice so far. It has a very floral smell, which I quite like. However, the soap doesn’t lather when used without a loofah. With loofah, I do get some lather. But I only use loofahs with shower gels. Yes, I know I’m silly, but that’s how I like it :P This soap works fine as long as I combine it with Aqua Mirabilis + Oil + Body Butter. Tonight, I got a little lazy and skipped out on the oil. Well, BIG MISTAKE. My back was extremely itchy. Soap + Body Butter combo wasn’t enough for my super dry skin. And I live in Texas, where it’s not even cold cold. Oh well. I think I am going to let my hubby finish this soap for me ;)

I want to count the number of LUSH products I use on a daily basis—

So the list is not that long (but I’m a recent convert) ;)

I have been using Herbalism cleanser since the past 2-3 days and I love it! Thank you to the SA for recommending it. Actually, my mom bought it first and told me how wonderful it is and I couldn’t agree more. My skin is pretty dry around my nose. I have breakouts on my cheeks, chin and some on my forehead. I think I have dry to combination skin, if that makes sense. Anyway, the official instructions say that you should only use it one in two days or so. Since I find it to be very mildly exfoliating, I chose to use it 1-2 times a day, which might be too much for a lot of you. However, I think it is working for me….so far. I did notice 3 extra white heads this morning. I am not sure if it is because of this cleanser. I will use it for another week before arriving at any conclusion. I am storing the entire container in the fridge (lid open) to prevent it from going bad. I have broken a tiny piece from the big chunk and am storing that on my sink. I take a very tiny amount, put some warm water, make a paste and apply it to my face and neck. If I’m not in the shower, I clean it off using a washcloth (less messy). I follow this up with Grease Lightning (also newly acquired).

Btw, I <3 Grease Lightning too— I apply a thin layer all over my face. It is mildly moisturizing too. It has reduced some of my breakouts by a noticeable amount. I applied it to those 3 whiteheads today morning and they’re almost gone! No kiddin’.

So my skin care routine as of now is - Herbalism/Baby Face (if I have make up on) + Grease Lightning + Full of Grace Serum (for dry skin). Every 2-3 days, Oatifix face mask (which is almost over). I liked the face mask, but it didn’t really do a lot for my skin. I think I am going to ditch it and get Cosmetic Warrior to treat my breakouts.

Took a night time shower using Sultana of Soap from LUSH for the first time. It is very soft and seems more moisturizing compared to other soaps. IT MELTS WAY TOO FAST though. Also, those raisins and currants on the top are useless except for decorative purposes. They fell off and got lumped together around the stopper. :( I didn’t find the smell overly intoxicating though. I like strong smells in bath products…maybe that’s why. I topped it off with Aqua Mirabilis body butter and then Bewitched Massage Bar as a moisturizer. My skin feels well moisturized now! I have very dry skin. Most of you might not even need so much of layering.

Anyway, I am sure I am going to reorder Sultana of Soap again. Not sure how long I can afford to use it, esp. since it disappears too fast.

Oh I bought tickets for HP7- IMAX HERE I COME!!!

Shampoo Bars

lushluv:

One shampoo bar equals 3 regular sized shampoo bottles. They last 60-80 washes. What?! Plus they are super effective. What could be better?

My LUSH Stash :) Not really a lot, but it is a lot considering the fact that my madness started only about 2 weeks back.

Soaps: Angel’s Delight, Lemslip, Honey Waffle, Ring of Roses, Sultana of Soap, Snow Globe, Banana Moon

Shampoo: Juniper Breeze, Squeaky Green, and a sample of Reincarnate (which I am using now).

Cleanser: Baby Face

Serum: Full of Grace

Body Butter: Aqua Mirabilis, King of Skin

Massage Bars: Hottie, Bewitched, Business Times, Strawberry Feels Forever

Conditioner: Jungle, and Forever in Bloom (sample)

Masks: Mask of Magnaminty (big jar), Oatifix

Scrub: Sugar Plum Fairy

LUSH Fix for Tonight

Since the past 2-3 nights, my night time regime involves first cleaning my face with Baby Face followed by the serum full of Grace. I bought the Oatifix Face Mask ($5.95/pot) last weekend. I think the fresh face masks are pretty cheap compared to their other products. I understand that people don’t want to spend $5.95 every two weeks. I am hoping that it will last me longer somehow :P I don’t mind using it for another week beyond expiration date. Anyway, this is the first fresh face mask that I am using (actually have it on my face now) and it feels so moisturizing. The smell is pretty awesome too. I love bananas and this mask smells so awesome. I wish I could eat it, seriously.

This is what it looks like after one use- I didn’t have trouble smearing it on my face. It is pretty thick though. You can water it down using plain water or even better- MILK- if you have really dry face like I do. :-) I just used it in its original consistency though.

I am storing Baby Face in my shampoo bar tin- received the tin for free because I bought two shampoos.

Also storing Full of Grace in my body butter tin- again, received it for free.

All pictures taken using iPhone 4. Actually love the picture quality :-)

My NEW JOB had their birthday celebration, on Saturday, and this was the limited edition product they had! Honey Hugs smells just like Honey I Washed the Kids and it is AMAZING!

Were you at the LUSH store in Macy’s San Antonio yesterday? :-) That is my store and I went to their Birthday party too. I saw this on the table too…weirdly, I never bought it. And now, I am regretting it completely! :(
