Bath And Bodyworks Haul

Early this week I got an email that bath and body works was doing their two for 20 on candles as well as sending me a cupon for $10 off... So as a bath and bodyworks obsessor/addict/shopaholic I just could not help myself and well I did some online shopping. 

The frist two things that I got were the candles that were on sale for two for $20, I got Eucalyptus Spearmint which if you have seen my other bath and body works haul as well as this one clearly I am obsessed with! It is deffinitly my favorite scent from bath and bodyworks. The second scent that I got was Market peach which has been the cult product with youtube beauty gurus so I ofcourse had to check it out and in doing so I found that I love it just as much. I am currently burning this scent and they way bath and bodyworks candles fill the room is just amazing, and I really like the fruity scent that is market peach. 

Next I got one of the metal candle holders, Usually I burn my candles with out one of these but I have decided that since I am re doing my room at my parents house I wanted something to go along with the decor better and make it look less like a normal candle. 

Lastly in my favorite scent yet again I decided to try out a bath and bodyworks conditioner, now I haven't actually used this yet because I just got the shipment this morning but I am really excited to try it out and I will let you know what I think of it. If I decided that I really like this product I might go back and try out their shampoo also. 

Well I hope you enjoyed this breif little haul and Look forward to talking to you in my next post!

Review of Lush Cosmetic Warrior Face Mask

Now I wouldn't say I have bad skin and at the same time I wouldn't say I have perfect skin so for me cleaning my face and using face masks is essentially to keep my face healthy help prevent minor break outs and prevent black heads. The one area that I do see trouble with my face is the area around my nose commonly had black heads and in my mind big pores. 

I have now used the cosmetic warrior face mask from Lush twice, and as it is supposed to I have found that it decreases the number of break outs and black heads that i have. As well as that I have found that it decreases the amoung of redness on my face and makes my skin very soft and smooth. In the last two weeks that I have been using it eddie has commented on the softness of my skin atleast three times. 

The one thing about this product that I have trouble with is its smell, it really doesn't smell that great and I know Lush has a few better smelling masks which I may try next time ( I know quite superficial of me but I like to smell happy things when I am treating myself). 

Application and Step by step feelings: 

I like to have a damp face to apply I usually apply right out of my bath, but wetting your face with a washcloth would work just as well. 

Apply a generous amount to your face avoiding eyes and mouth, now it does have peices in it which feel weird at first but you get used to them. 

Let it sit for about 10 minutes without it getting completely hard, youll start to feel it hardening but according to Lush you dont want the mask to completely harden. 

After the 10 min or so, take of the mask with hot water. 

After taking the mask off my face just feels cleaner, and smoother and the feeling after taking the mask off is probably the biggest reason I have for wanting to re purchase the Cosmetic Warrior. 

I hope you enjoyed this review if you would like to read more posts like this reviewing products let me know in a comment below!

My Night-time Routine!!

Its Sunny out everyone!!! I am so happy that spring is on its way the birds are singing and it just smells like spring. Now since spring is coming and we all want to look our best as we emerge out of hibirnation, I have decided that todays post is going to be my night time routine, which is what I use to refresh my skin and prepare myself for summer and sunshine, as well as just help me be healthier and happier.

So to start off my evening I take off my make up for the day

For my makeup removal I use Maybllines clean express for my eyes I acutally use a cutip right around my eyes to make sure that I get all of my eye make up off the lashes and my eye liner off, If it sumges I find that okay because you can then use your wipes to get around the eyes with out getting them too close to your eyes. Currently I use Biore's makeup wipes which I find burn my eyes, as almost all make up removing wipes do which is why I use the clean express to get all my eye make up off/ away from my eyes first so then when I use the wipes I dont have to get too close to my eyes. 

After my make up is removed I then use my facial cleanser from Burt's Bees. This is probably one of my favorite facial cleansers I have ever used, mostly because it smells amazing but it also goes on so smooth and just leaves me feeling clean and fresh. So how I use this is I take a towel and wet a corner of it then wash my face, next I take the cream cleanser and apply it all over my face making sure that you work in your t-zone and for me personally my chin area, because these are areas where I find I break out the most. Next I wet that cloth again with warm water and wipe off the cleanser making sure it is all off and just washing your face all over again. Then lastly I take a dry portion of the cloth and dab my face dry. 

Now that your face is clean you need to make sure that your mouth is clean too. So I like to use colgate Optic White in the flaver sparkling fresh mint. I also like to floss and brush my teeth now too, because everyone wants sparkling white teeth for summer 

Now its time to moisturize. I have tried many different moisturizers but I always fall back to this one by Olay. It is their active hydrating moisturizer and you really dont need alot of this at all!! I use about a pea size which is great becuase this bottle will last you forever!!I just apply this all over my face and i find that particularlly my cheeks get really dry so that is where I make sure I focus when applying this. 

 Last but not least I use these two gems from Clinique. The first is acne solutions which I use on just areas where I am breaking out or as a quick spot treatment and it really works! Next Iuse Clinques all about eyes because I have a horrible under eye circles so I use this at night and it does help it almost has a cooling affect on your eyes 

Now that my routine is done it is time to get some beauty rest have a good nights sleep everyone :)
