Review: LUSH's Dragon's Egg Bath Bomb

So I just got out of the shimmeriest bath ever. When I saw this bath bomb, I feel in love with the little confetti specks. It also felt really soft and I knew it would make my bath water extremely soft.  I never thought I'd see glitter! So here's how it went:

I actually cut Dragon's Egg in half... it seemed really big to me and I wanted to get as much use of it as possible. When I cut it open, I saw something that looked a caramel cube in the middle.  I didn't think much of it because all of the bath bombs have something cool in the middle.  I brought both parts over to the tub with me just in case I decided I wanted to put in both.  I got in and dropped the small half (without the little cube in the middle) into the water.  I watched as it started getting foamy and frothy, and I was kind of disappointed of the lack of surprise.  I dropped the other chunk in and that's when the fun started!  The water started turning a goldish-orangey color.  I was turning the bomb over in my hands just to watch it froth when I noticed that the cube in the middle was dissolving into gold shimmer!  I literally gasped and said "There's glitter!"  I lifted myself out of the water and saw how shimmery it make my skin.  I flipped.  I love glitter. Other than the shimmer, I absolutely loved the scent it filled the bathroom with.  It's infused with lemon and citrus oils that smell absolutely wonderful.  It reminds me of when me and my dad used to eat our favorite kind of sherbet together.  It was definitely one of the best baths I've ever taken. :)

Have you ever used Dragon's Egg? Or any other bath bomb? If so, which one and what was your reaction?

Scentsy: Holiday Smelly-Goods!

During the holidays, I tend to burn a LOT of candles that have those amazing holiday favorite scents. I was helping a lady I babysit for host a MaryKay party and there were two other ladies there who were selling for other companies. When I walked into the room, it smelled like Christmas! One of the ladies was selling wickless candles from Scentsy. How do they do it? Plug in one of the warmers to melt the scented wax with absolutely no soot, flame, or wick. Why are these a good idea? As for my family, I have 8 nieces and nephews... someone is more than likely going to get burned with an open flame, no matter how small it is! With the warmers there's no open flame so it's a perfect and safe way to enjoy your favorite holiday scents with the whole family around.

After spending about 30 minutes smelling all of the samples, I decided on three of the Scentsy Bars Autumn Sunset, Mochadoodle, and Pumpkin Roll. But you can't use the bars without a warmer! Being the guru that I am, I picked the zebra printed warmer.

After ordering, it takes about two weeks to come in. I'm so excited to burn the scents that I ordered! Autumn Sunset is a blend of apples, pumpkins, fall leaves, and spices. Mochadoodle (more of a bakery scent) is a blend of roasted coffee beans and cocoa, sugar, caramel, and heavy cream. Pumpkin Roll (which I'm most excited about!) is a blend of creamy pumpkin pie filling, surrounded with yellow cake, pecans, butter, and spice. YUM!

To buy Scentsy products, visit Scentsy to find a consultant in your area! I'll definitely be doing a review on these scents after they come in and I burn each one a bit. Do any of you have these? If so, what are your favorite scents?

OPI & Fall Nails

Every since ULTA has opened a store about 5 minutes away from my house, I've been obsessed with spending my money there. It's really hard to find OPI Nail Polish in regular stores, so when ULTA opened with a huge selection of colors, I absolutely fell in love! A couple of reasons OPI has been my go-to nail polish:

• The color doesn't fade
• The polish stays on for up to 10 days (with normal touch ups and a good quality top coat)
• There are a million colors to choose from! OPI comes out with a new collection every few months, or normally every season.

Some colors that have been GREAT for fall, according to beauty gurus everywhere, and OPI themselves with their recent collections include:

• You Don't Know Jacques!

• Lincoln Park After Dark

• Suzi Skis in the Pyrenees



• And my FAVORITE: Ski Teal We Drop

I've worn Ski Teal We Drop for the past three weeks, ever since I bought it. Granted, as I'm typing this, my nails are drying in Elephantasic Pink...

Yes, warm and dark colors are perfect for fall, but I'm still so in love with this freshly bright color that I couldn't resist! I'm such a bubbly person that it almost feels unnatural to NOT have something pink on at all times!

What are your favorite fall trends and colors to wear? Post them in the comments below and let me know what you think! :)

This Product NOT Recommended: Mary Kay Eye Makeup Remover

So after editing my September favorites video, in which I talked about makeup remover wipes, I realized that I cut out the part where I asked for suggestions for a good makeup remover.

 I've gone through two bottles of Mary Kay's Oil-Free Eye Makeup Remover, and I've learned that I absolutely cannot stand it any longer! I need something much much better. Let me point out a few things about why I don't like this product at all:

• Yes, this makeup remover removes your eye makeup, but not before smearing it all over your face.  I look more like a racoon after I use it than before. Isn't that defeating the purpose?
• On the bottle it says it's oil-free, but after using it, I normally have to wipe my face with a wet towel to get that oily feeling off my face.
• It says that it doesn't dry the skin, which is true. But it does dry out my eyes. Worst of all, it pushes all of my eyeliner into my eye, so when I open it and look at them, I can see black specks on the whites of my eyes. I'm not entirely sure how safe that is?

You get the point, don't you?  I'm almost out of my bottle, and I need to find a new one desparately!  Most of you know that I don't go a day without putting eye makeup on, so I need something fast.  Any suggestions? Post them below and I'll let you know which one I end up trying! :)

EuroNext Hair Extensions

Thumbs up for my first blog entry! :)

So as most of you know from my videos, I have hair that's a little bit past my shoulders. My high school's homecoming is the last weekend in October, and I really wanted to do something nice with my hair. Well, I came to figure that my hair is obnoxiously too short for me to do anything like I wanted with it. I wanted something long and curly and gorgeous, but I just couldn't get that with my short hair. So I decided to splurge for the occasion and get some clip-in human hair extensions.

So this morning, I went to Sally's Beauty Supply and took a good, long, hard look at all the options... I had never seen so much hair in one place in my life. There were so many colors, lengths, and brands that I had no idea where to start. I knew that I definitely wanted human hair, because you can do so much more with it, including using hot tools on them such as straighteners and curlers. I ended up choosing the EuroNext Hair Extensions ($79.99).

These will last you a long time as well; you shampoo and condition them just like regular hair, but only after 3 or 4 uses, depending on how dirty they get when you wear them. Putting in these extensions is super easy as well, which is a major plus! I even laid them all out for you, just so you could get a good look at them.

As soon as I got home from Sally's I straightened my hair and put in the extensions. I was amazed at how long and full my hair looked! The color matched my hair perfectly and blended really well with my natural hair. The extensions were super soft and I got so many compliments on my hair. I wore the extensions for the rest of the day (even to work) and didn't have to worry about them once. Overall, the price was definitely worth it. I'll be wearing these a lot and they'll last me forever! Let me know if you think I should do a tutorial. :)
