LUSH - Great Easter Gift Idea!!

Fantastic Easter gift ideas from LUSH

Easter holiday is coming up! Yay!!

I've got a little Easter present for my friend...

Awwww, super cuuuute.

The Hoppy Easter Bunny contains,

1 x Candy Fluff (Fluffy Egg)

1 x The Carrot

@ $17.50AUD

More info here

LUSH AUSTRALIA EASTER

-------------------------------

Here are some details about 'LUSH' Easter products

The Carrot

Hold the top of these reusable bubble bar carrots and swish them around the bathtub to create masses of skin softening bubbles.  You can then leave them on the side of the tub to dry and re-use another time.  The fragrance smells nothing like carrots, as we’ve used lots of fruity oils like buchu, lemon and bergamot to really make your mouth water.  There is a little bit of nutritious carrot oil in there though, which is rich in vitamins and an extraordinary skin soother and rejuvenator.

Candy Fluff

It’s like bathing in a bubbling mass of marshmallow, candy floss and jelly bean scented water

The Immaculate Eggception

One of Lush’s innovative double-layered bath ballistics, this one is a hollow egg that you can shake and hear a surprise rattling inside.  Crack open the bubble bar and ballistic mix eggshell to reveal either a mini chick or bunny ballistic inside!  You can then either throw it all into the bathtub (or use for 3 separate baths) and enjoy a vanilla absolute, ylang ylang and grapefruit scented soak.  There are two colours to choose from, the yellow egg with green decoration contains the bunny; while the pink egg with yellow or blue decoration contains the chick.  They both make for a cracking great bath!

Hoppy Easter & Chick Knot Wrap

Perfect for wrapping the larger Bath Ballistic Eggs, 

it makes for a lovely alternative gift this Easter

------------------------------------

I love their Knot-Wrap idea that it can be re-used and be very unique!

This idea reminded me there is a similar item in Japan called "Furoshiki".

I might post about wrapping ideas with a cloth some other time...

Stay tuned if you are interested!

GLOSSYBOX - March 2012 Part2 (what my friend's got...)

As you may know by now, subscribe to GB,
you'll get 5 randomly chosen items from a list of 18 possible items.

This means, even though you have sneak-peeked someone's review

before receiving your box, you still have "Surprise" :)

Some people like to have exactly same products like 'Lust Have it' / 'I love this box'.

(same items, possibly different shade),

But I kinda like this random nature of Glossybox.

I reckon it can be quite interesting...?!

I think all the beauty boxes are so random and hit/miss anyway,

so I don't really mind if I didn't get 'wow' factor from 1 or 2 boxes, to be honest.
Just keep hoping to get great items each month...haha

I initially thought this whole beauty box thing was not for me

and preferred to save $15 each month towards something I actually want...

yet now I'm loving these little presents coming each month for myself :P

It's fun to discover new brands and products you would never know!

I guess it's one of those"You never know what you will find unless you try.." things?

Anyway, enough talk!

This is what my friend's got for her March box from Glossybox Australia !

No power bracelet in the box!!

but it doesn't bother her as she doesn't believe those "power"things, anyway...

I was quite impressed with this box.

I would've loved to have this box! Much better than my selection...

Hmmm, fingers crossed for my next box!!

Absolutely Gorgeous - Macadamia Face Cream

Avene - Gentle Milk Cleanser

Kosmea - Hydrating Rosewater Mist

Silk - Oil of Morocco (argan oil)

Sheercover - Lipgloss

However, a friendly shop assistant gave me 5 satchels of moisturising cream to try.

This range is great for intense hydration and protection.

Will try the cream when the cooler weather comes... :)

Final weekend! 20% off storewide

&

all of the roll the dice offers revealed

http://www.mimco.com.au/

Apparently, this "roll the dice" offer is different to the one I had 2weeks ago... :s
and it has NEW OFFERS.

the offer on 9MAR was only if you buy multiple items
but this time, it can be applied on a single item?!
It sounds a little bit dodgy to me..
I feel they are doing just for their purpose of marketing....


However, if you are already thinking to purchase something from Mimco,
this might be a great time for shopping...

GLOSSYBOX - March 2012

What's in the March Glossybox?

very cute re-usable box as always...

Just Opening March Box.. Exciting!!

Hmmm... Looks like a lot of things in there...

Proactiv - Cleansing Bar 150g

KMS California - Free Shape Hot Flex Spray 30ml

Dr.Hauschka - Cleansing Cream 10g

NOUGAT LONDON - Nurturing Hand Cream (Fig & Pink Cedar) 5ml?

Avene - Thermal Spring Water ( for sensitive skin) 50ml

Glossybox Power Balancing Bracelet in Pink :)

-----------------------------

I'll try not to sound too ungrateful...

over all, the items in March box are just average for me.


However, please do not make any judgement on just one box.
Everyone has different taste & opinion,
so I personally recommend trying it for at least 3months to see
if you are pleased with this service or not.

Reviewing items in this month's box....

funny thing is the item I like the most is the smallest one in the box!

NOUGAT LONDON - Fig & Pink Cedar Hand Cream

(5ml? small sample size)

It smells sooo good and I will need a pocket sized hand cream

for this coming autumn & winter season, so I'm happy with it.

My least favourite one is Proactiv.

Hmmm, what can I say.... another Proactiv product....

I'm not interested in it AT ALL but I'm sure my sister-in-law would love this,

so I will give this to her.

*** At least I can make someone happy with this :) ***

I like Avene Thermal Spring Water...this is one of my all time favourites.

Dr.Hauschka Cleansing Cream & KMS spray...

I have never heard of them.. so I have to try first before making any judgement.

Unfortunately, this month's box is JUST OKAY for me...

yet I'm sure someone would love this selection!

-----------------------------

GB has changed the item list.

You will receive 5 items from the selection featured on the card (18 items)

No size , No price, Not much information on the card.

It doesn't bother me much but

it could be hard to get more info about items when you like to buy?

More likely, it is not so good idea for the companies partner with GB...?

Oh, one last thing...

this month GB sent boxes out promptly

and I received it within a reasonable time frame!

I must THANK them for the effort!

(usually, very slow process & delivery even from NSW to QLD)

Anyway...

Although I'm kinda disappointed in this box,

I'm looking forward April one already!

Hope there will be WOW factor in April box :P

*Review* L'OCCITANE Lavender Organic Hand Purifying Gel

Lavender Hand Purifying Gel is BACK!!

As a huge fan of the lavender clean hand gel from 2010/2011? limited edition..

I can't thank them enough for bringing this gel back!

This time, the gel is even better with Natural and Organic Cosmetic certified by ECOCERT .

It has a beautiful Lavender fragrance which smells divine!

(kinda smells less fragrance than item from 2010/2011.
Maybe because of ORGANIC lavender?)

Most importantly, 【"wash" your hands without the need for soap or water】 is very handy.

Portable size, you can take this gel anywhere in your bag 

 and clean hands anytime, anywhere!

I have actually bought 3... for my office, in my car & for my husband :)

Hope L'Occitane keeps this gel as a permanent part of the range..

Some might find that it is too expensive but well worth it for me.
I can use it as aromatherapy method when I'm stressed out at work ;)

RRP: 50ml for $14AUD

*Review* Karpati DITO Nail Lacquer (no.12)

Love Karpati DITO Nail Lacquer (no.12)

Sorry...The colour may not appear correctly because of reflection of light.

I've got this from Lust Have It March Box, and I'm loving it :)

Some people might find it is difficult to use because of the unique shape...

but I feel quite comfortable to use the nail lacquer.

Love the INTRIGUE(no.12) colour, it is like burgundy...has colour depth.

I would personally recommend to use base coat because the nail polish drys fast and I find that without a base coat, it leaves some colour on your nails.

(maybe just me...coz I have vertical lines on my finger nails)

The design is so unique that it has been included in the ‘Design Collection’ of the Museum of Modern Art in New York.

Find out about the Karpati DITO Nail Lacquer, visit their website here
