Haulin' Happiness #1

Direct Quote: "Rolling in the deep...with debt."

I think its time I let you in on a not so little secret, I love buying things and spending money - and I know, probably not the best trait right? Especially not this close to Christmas! None the less, I went to see my cousin in Sydney (Follow her blog here - she's the best, if she were a food, she'd be cheesecake made of dreams.) and we spent money, like we always do. So I've decided to share it with you lovely people!

Fun by Lush

This, made my life. I had originally only planned to by one thing on our trip to Lush, but our retail assistant was the bomb-diggity, really she was hilarious so I can hardly blame her for springing this baby on me. Retailing for $9.99 this deliciously caramel, bergamot, sweet citrusy smelling fun (A clay like consistency soap)! You can mould it into shapes, a shower or hair lather or even to crumble it into a running soaking tub - the possibilities are endless! 

Tea Tree Water by Lush

Reading reviews online, I've heard many a good word about this toner - and as I have recently decided to up my skin care game I figured it might be worth a shot. While this toner is generally marketed towards dryer skin tones - in the upcoming summer months my skin heads towards an oily consistency! I think with this, and my hydrating moisturiser my skin may very well be in for a real treat! It just makes me think; clean.

The Breakfast Scrub Smoothie by Soap and Glory

This is a re-buy, and one well worth it; because it is my favourite bath product in the whole wide world. Theres a tonne of reviews out there, if you'd like me to do one let me know down in the comments, but trust me its well worth the hype. The scent is delicious, it smells like breakfast food (My favourite type of food) and the oatmeal really works to clean skin but not abrasively so! I will be buried with this.

Suede-Berry by Lime Crime

Another impulse purchase, and this one I have no regrets, none, nope - I am in love; this lipstick, lip velveteen, lip stain? Whatever it is the definition of perfection, applies perfectly and has a great staying power - I was so excited by this I could not even stop dancing around in the store like a child! It was kind of pathetic but I don't care I'm literally overjoyed. Just yes.

Soft and Gentle by MAC

This one was a planned purchase - after playing with my cousins makeup collection yesterday I knew that I needed this. I have no other highlighters like this, and my cousin claims it lasts all day and is perfect (Although I think she's more in love with Mary-Louminizer! I'll be posting a review on this one for sure! Wait around my friends! It shall happen very soon!

Thats all she wrote folks, or more like all she brought. What have you been haluin' lately?

Random Post #1; The Comforter

There must be quite a few things that a hot bath won't cure, but I don't know many of them.

-Sylvia Plath

It seems and my girl Sylvia and I are on the same wave length when it comes to baths, that being that theres no day that will not be improved ten fold with the addition of a warm bubbling bath, some groovy tunes, a cup of Earl Grey tea, and a piece of a chocolate or two! For me, bathing is all about the experience, and the Comforter Bubble Bar available at Lush surely offers that experience. 

Firstly, let me introduce you to the bar itself. In Australia, the comforter retails for $10.95 which is expensive sure, but worth it, oh boy. When used moderately, you could easily get four or five baths out of this bar, or if your anything like me, you can break it in half and have two REALLY indulgent bathing experiences. The swirling pink and white design makes me think of Carnivals and fairy floss, whilst the scent makes me feel as though I am being wrapped in a blanket of summer fruits. *swoons*

Now, if like me, you were previously unfamiliar with the concept of a Bubble Bar - let me enlighten you as to their purpose - bubbles, lots and lots of bubbles, cauldron boil and cauldron bubble, that kind of thing. The bubbles don't dissipate during the bath like a normal bath gel, nor does the pink colour for that matter. Simply crumble the bar under running water and your bath will soon look like something from a comic book in the best possible way. All in all, I give the Comforter, four out of five rubber duckies!
