Lush's Snow Cake Soap

My all time favorite soap is Snow cake! It's only available during the winter time at Lush. The first time I tried this I was in love. It smells so delicious! Its a sweet almond frosting scent, another comparison is marzipan. I'm so addicted I had to get more this year! It makes your skin feel super soft and touchable but it does melt fast so it doesn't last long. Honestly I don't mind since its the best smelling thing in the world and my legs feel so moisturized afterwards that I don't even need to put lotion on. I love how it doesn't irritate my skin. I can never stop smelling it, I wish they made a hand lotion out of it so I can smell it all the time!



The only con is that it does get pricey. But I love it so much that I simply would pay that much :)

Never again...

Hi Darlings! I wanted to do a post of disappointments since I haven't yet, these products were definitely a fail for me. They are all just sitting in my beauty cabinet and here's why...


1. Psssst! Dry shampoo, I was really looking forward to this since so many people say it's one of their favorite dry shampoos. This did not do the job for me. My hair was still oily and it was hard to get the white powder out of my hair. I had to keep constantly rubbing it to take it off and I don't really have time for that since I'm always in a hurry. Batiste is STILL my holy grail dry shampoo, it has been the only one that works for me. Makes your hair look like you washed it even though you didn't.

2. Maybelline Dream Fresh BB cream. I loved the cute packaging of this but its the worst bb cream I ever tried. Maybe it doesn't work on my skin but it does not cover really well. It is very light, sometimes it looks like I didn't even put any on. It is very light coverage. Also noticed after a couple hours my face was pretty greasy! If you have combination/oily skin like me, you probably will not like this. The color is an okay match for me but it is not a perfect match. Still prefer Asian bb creams. 

3. Aveeno Smart Essentials Anti Fatigue eye treatment. This does nothing to my puffiness under my eyes like it says its supposed to do. I did not see a difference at all under my eyes. I used this for 4 months and still no results. It smells really good but it is like a oil and it takes a while to dry too before you put your make-up. This was almost $10, so please save your money. I'm still looking for a cream or roller to reduce puffiness, let me know if you know any!




Lastly, this Celestial Face cream from Lush was a total disappointment especially since I spent $24 on it! It says it is for sensitive skin so I thought it would work great for me but it actually made my skin worst! I love how light weight it was but it gave me the worst dry rash on my face that took 3-4 months to treat! I also still broke out from this lotion on my face after I wore it for awhile. It smells so delicious like vanilla and almonds, I adored the smell. But too bad it did not work for me :(

Did any of these work for you? Or did you have the same experience as me?

I will be doing a post of my holy grails soon and can't wait to share it with you ladies!
