Love smelling like... Lush Sweetie Pie Shower Jelly 100g




The pics above are when I first got them! Smelled soooooo good!! :D  Love this Shower Jelly!!

Thank you to my friend Christina who got this for me!! :D There was also a Glitterbar (Shimmy Shimmy Massage Bar) with this which I will review at a later date!

Pros:
- smells very good!
- Love the feeling of it on my body!! Slipperly and very nice!

Cons:
- ran out too quickly!! :(
- I had bits of it all over my shower floor! But that's alright - just wash it down the drain!
- I wish it came in a squeezy tube to be more hygenic. But that's ok! I washed the container after I used it and keep my lipglosses in it now!! Recycle! Reuse! :D Waste not, want not. ;)

More information of this product can be found from the official Lush website here!

Have you tried Lush products before? What did you think?

Signs of a Bad Relationship: No. 1 - He/She makes you feel bad


This will be the first post of what I think are the signs of a bad relationship.

No. 1
- He/She makes you feel bad


What I mean by this is that you feel inferior to them, you feel like you are not good enough for them and that they will leave you for someone better.

You feel like although they are with you, they are only with you to pass the time - you are a filler boyfriend or girlfriend to them.

You feel like you are NOT 'the one' to them and that they do not truly love you because they love themselves more.

This may stem from personal issues such as low self-esteem. But a loving bf or gf will not make you feel worse. They would love you for who you are and for what you look like.

For girls:

He would love you and think you beautiful to him with or with out makeup. He would not make you feel ugly and unattractive when you have no makeup on, or say that you should wear makeup more often.

Let me just say... 
Almost all girls wear makeup and guys DO NOT even notice it.

Guess what? Guys always go after all the 'hot' girls who wear a lot of make up all the time. Maybe it is just me. But I don't want a guy to love me only when I have a mask on. Without getting 'discrete' cosmetic 'enhancements'.

I want him to love me for me.

Un-enhanced.

Un-photoshopped.

Raw.

Sephora by OPI Charge It! Swatch (NOTD) & Review


2 coats:




How many coats did I use?
2

How was drying time?
Super quick!! :D Thumbs ups Sephora by OPI!! :D

Wearing time?
Pretty good! Pictures show 2 days wear. By the 3rd say still minimum wearing.

Would I repurchase?
I like this colour, but not love. It is a subtle colour, and I ahve only worn it once so I may love it in the future.
We will see!! For now, now, but I would love to try more Sephora by OPIs! :D

10 Signs You are Falling In Love (For Guys and Girls)


Image Source: Here


Love. What exactly is it? How do we know when we are in love?

I know there are a lot of people who claim to be in love every other day. But is that truly love? Or just simply lust?


According to Wikipedia, love is:

"an emotion of strong affection and personal attachment"

to someone or something (I am assuming).



People can go through life never truly falling in love.
Or they can confuse love for other emotions - like lust. Or simply satisfying an ego, or sexual need.


10 signs you are falling in love...
 (when you are in a relationship/dating/other):

1) You spend a lot of time thinking about him/her. Everyday!

2) When you buy something for yourself you wonder if they would like something too.

3) You NEED to see them almost everyday. You miss them otherwise. And it just feels weird.

4) You put their needs in front of yours. This is a toughie and not everyone pasts this hurdle. Can you be in love and still thinking about yourself first? That is truly debateable. But in my opinion. Yes, you can be in love with them, but you just love yourself more.

5) You cannot imagine life without them.

6) You would do things for them without them asking.

7) You know what their daily /weekly schedule is.

8) You know what they want to do in  life and want to be a part of it.

9) You can see a future with them.

10) You miss them when they are not around. You text them/ call them a lot because they are on your mind continuosly. When you do no hear from them you get anxious and wonder how they are. (This is an extension of number 1!)


How do you know you are falling in love?

Essie Case Study Swatch & Review (NOTD)


* I used 2 really thick coats

* definately not a one-coater

* formula was a bit difficult to work with

* a dupe for this shade could be Sally Hansen's Extreme Wear in Flirt (IMO)

* perhaps this shade would look better if it didn't look so black in low lighting =(


What do you think of this shade?

Sephora by OPI Nonfat Soy Half Caff Swatch & Review





How many coats did I use?
OMG.... 5-6 coats!!

How was the formula?
TOO thin & watery for my tastes. It is a sheer - EXTREMELY SHEER nail polish.

How was the drying time?
Too long for my liking. I am impatient hahah!

How is the shade?
I think this shade would be a perfect office shade. It looked a bit weird on me though,so I owuld say if you were a bit tanner, it would be the perfect nudey colour! :D

Where can I purchase this from?
The USA. I got this as a birthday gift from my friend who went to the States :D She also got me 2 more, so look out for them in future posts! :D

Would I repurchase this?
NOOOOOOOOOO! WAY too thin. Not worth it!!

What do you think of this shade?
