Current Loves




Lush Porridge Soap (Rs.427.80) aka 'Product of the Week'
When I saw this, it was love at first sight. I just had to have it (eat it too =))
What Lush says ~ When you're in a rush on those early mornings you may consider eating breakfast in the shower (I wish they meant this literally...lol ) 
This deliciously nutritious soap is made of fresh organic orange juice and real oats, making it a cleansing and exfoliating multi-tasker. 
When I'm rubbing it on my skin, I feel like I'm using a flaky and creamy version of a pumice stone. Make that a baked one. It doesn't dry out my skin, so I don't necessarily need to apply moisturizer afterwards. It does not smell "Yum" but it's definitely not "Eew! Lush is nauseating!" either.Yes I will buy this again. Now I need to go use it! *taking off clothes*




Mac Volcanic Ash Exfoliator (Rs.1380)
Oh my gosh! I love love love this! It makes me look like I've just come out of a coal mine but it's all worth it. My face just feels so clean  and smooth after using it. It smells like charcoal and has tiny sugar beads too which is why it has sort of a "busy" feel. When it come to exfoliators, I say the more the merrier.




Etude House Magic Tint Balm
This tinted lip balm looks like it's flavored, but it's not. Sometimes it's nice to not have strawberry, raspberry or vanilla flavored balms on your lips all the time. It is thicker than most lip balms but not sticky. It lasts longer too and the color is so delish!




Body Shop Tea Tree Oil Face Mask (Rs.995)
I rarely need to use this mask but now I have to because it'll expire in July. But I wouldn't have known that if I hadn't got some annoying pimples on my face recently. "Thank you pimples!" 
I will definitely repurchase this.




Herbal Essences Dangerously Straight Range
My hair right now is half chemically straightened and half naturally wavy (in other words, painfully unmanageable!) So these three make it fall better, softer and shinier.





Maybelline Line Stylist Lip Liner ~ Coffee (Rs.280)
This lip liner is a tad darker than my natural lip color. I like to use it all over my lips. Alone or under a sheer lippie.




Azzaro Pink Tonic
I find myself reaching for this perfume most of the time these days because the scent is "wintery" but not the overpowering kind. The 
snowman-shaped bottle also
reminds me of  Christmas (Come back!)






Nail Art Crystals





I bought these off Ebay a while back but haven't really used them much but now I like to play around with them. I know that's not the most creative design up there, but it's easy to do and I did get compliments from a lot of people, so it's okay to be lazy =)

  15. Hey. I absolutely LOVEEEEEEEEE the porridge soap from lush. I just picked it up randomly and feel in love. I have really dry skin, especially on my arms. I live in Calgary, which is probably the driest city in the world. This soap is a must have. xx

  17. Hi Cynthia!
    The palette is 52 US dollars. It's a bit pricey, but worth the money because you get a lot of product!
    I will try and do a swatch at least of the gaga l/s. It's very hard for me to do closeups with my camera though, but i'll see what I can do!

  20. i've used the Tea Tree Oil Mask for the longest time too. it works great on my pimples! but now i've discovered the Queen Helene Mint Julep mask and i prefer that more since it comes in a squeeze-tube. the packaging is just more user friendly. but both work great! nice haul :D xx

  21. That snowman has got to be too cute to be a perfume bottle! :D Ooh, I love those nail art crystals (I haven't tried these before). Sometimes, the simpler the better. I really like how you did your nails. :) Hope you're having a good weekend.

I ♥ finding little notes in my Vanity Case, so do drop one. I read all of them & I try my best to reply to each & every one of them [check back in 2-3 days =D] but most times it's physically impossible! Either way, I love to hear from you & really appreciate you taking the time out to share your thoughts <3

Thank you for reading! :)
