glam bag for march:
I have to say the past 2 months I have pretty disappointed in the glam bag products but I guess thats how it works... first month you get really nice stuff and after that just fillers....
I'm still deciding if I am going to cancel my glam bag for next month....

what i got this month:

1. Derm store care package- eh... that stuff really doesn't excite me too much
2. foundation elements- another ehh...
3. kera color enhancing leave  in treatment-this might be useful but we will see i guess
4. glam eyeshadow brush and case- the one product i did like this month, the brush works well but still disappointed that this is the only thing i really liked

Small Haul

Lately I have become obsessed with Mac's eyeliner in undercurrent. I had heard of this eyeliner before on youtube makeup videos but never actually tried it out. Now that I see how well it brings out hazel eyes it has become one of my top makeup products. The liner glides on really smooth and lasts throughout the day.
Because spring is on its way I also wanted to create a light blue pastel eye look. I have used light blue eyeshadows in the past but have realized that I really needed a blue base in order to make the eyeshadow stand out more and last longer. Nyx's jumbo eye pencil  in pacific looks promising so we will see....

Undercurrent on:

( Would look better with a green eye, however I originally did a neutral eye and just couldn't wait another day to try this eyeliner out)



For the past 2 months, Dj and I have been trying to use up whats left of our holiday candles. The other day I decided  I had had  enough of those smells and it was time for a least one spring scented candle.
Bath and Body Works new scent in flower shop is very strong but smells amazing. I think we made a good choice.

LUSH haul!

This semester I started my full time internship at ORMC which requires me to be on my feet for 10 hr shifts so its safe to say LUSH products are always nice to come home to. :)  Here's some of the items I picked up the other day while we were visiting in Tampa.




1. Magic Mushroom Bubble bar (valentines day limited edition)

LUSH describes the Magic Mushroom as  smelling like fresh strawberries covered in cream.  I have not actually tried this one yet but just smelling it in the package I have to agree. I am super excited about this bubble bar, too bad its limited edition.

2. Leap Frog
       * have not tried yet but stay tuned and I'll discuss more when I get to use it :)

3.  Dorothy bubble bar
 
        - This bubble bar is amazing if you love citrus/fruity scents. I will definitely use this bar again in the future.

4.  Pop in the bath bubble bar
          - I did like this bubble bar however I noticed there was less bubbles than with the Dorothy bubble bar. It doesn't have a distinct smell like many of the other bubble bars do but it worked for me.

5.  Volcano foot mask-

            This  foot mask has become by far my favorite new product to use. It leaves your feet super soft and you feeling relaxed. This product is a must for anyone who works long shifts.


6. Fair Trade foot lotion
   I have only been trying a sample size of this product but already love it so much I know I am going to order more. It works perfectly with the volcano foot mask.


.....nothing like LUSH to make those lonngg days just a little better :)
