Twilight Bath Bomb



We have an addition to the top favorite beauty products.  This bomb has carved its way to the top and sits pretty in my number one position on my LUSH Loved List.  The scent is intoxicating and forces you to relax (really lol).  It promises the most relaxing evening with it's calming color and beautiful solar detail on top.  When dropped into the water, it begins frothing up and turning the water a bubblegum pink color.  The scent is magnified instantly.  When the core opens up, it is a beautiful surprise of baby blue which paired with the pink, turns the water into a beautiful creamy lavender.



It fizzes out slowly and the scent lingers delicately in the air.  It made my skin super soft and made me smell like heaven. 

You have simply GOT to try this!

Golden Slumbers Bath Bomb


This is not an Easter product, but one of the three non-Easter items I got in my Easter haul, so it will be reviewed now!  I decided to use this bomb after a long day in the car (11 hours of driving to and from California in a day!) to induce some heavy sleep.  The name said it all!  The scent reminds me of Fizzbanger....not sure why as the ingredients aren't related.  This bomb is lavender oil based where Fizzbanger was cinnamon oil.  However, they smelled similar out of the tub.  When I dropped it in is where it departed from Fizzbanger and became a lavender explosion.  The minute it started to fizz away it smelled strongly of the sleep-inducing lavender.  Also, tons of lavender springs came out of the bomb which gave it a nice showy effect.  I took issue with the fact that they looked like bugs and found myself picking them out for more peace of mind. 


The golden shimmer on the bomb was nowhere to be found in the water which was a disappointment, but in hindsight is only necessary to make the bomb live up to its cute name.  My skin wasn't particularly soft and my body wasn't super relaxed but I was out like a light in 2 minutes flat upon arrival at my bed.  I'm not sure this is a favorite, but it serves its purpose and for that, I am grateful.

Angels on Bare Skin Cleanser


Simply put....this cleanser is a God-send.  Straight from heaven, after just a week I found my skin brighter, clearer, tighter and with smaller looking pores!  This is without a doubt my new favorite skin care product and I fully intent on making it a staple item in my beauty regimen.

My skin is tricky.  It's oily on my nose but dry around the nostrils.  It's dry on the tip of my chin but oily under my bottom lip.  My forehead is an oil field but cheeks are dry.  Combination to say the least.  This is just this month's skin.  Who knows what next month will hold?  So....for me to find a cleanser that I can use all over my face that doesn't upset the "balance" of my bipolar skin is pure miracle.  Please forgive my constant puns!

This cleanser smells so herbal it's almost like pot in a jar but remixed into something 100% legal.  You take just a pea sized amount and drop a few drops of warm water onto it.  Take your index finger and mush it up into a paste.  Wet your face and rub all over.  Wash off and PRESTO!  Just two days later, you can expect to see a difference.  It won't make your skin feel dry afterward like some of the harsher washes do and the herbal scent doesn't over-stay its welcome.

It has almonds which exfoliate (hello smaller looking pores!) and hold lavender and rose oil to tone (hello even skin).  The lavender is very soothing before bedtime and will leave you addicted to this cleanser.  If you haven't already become addicted to its miracle-working.
