Review: Lush Herbalism and Angels On Bare Skin

I've been using Lush's skincare products for a while now, so I tought I would tell u what I think of them!

I'm reviewing Herbalism and Angels On Bare Skin facewashes in one post becouse they're kind of similar in use and I wanted to compair the results and effects.

Angels On Bare Skin

Description:

For heavenly soft and balanced skin. The kaolin clay base deep cleanses while ground almonds gently exfoliate the dead skin away. Rose and lavender are added to soothe and help balance out combination skin. A great daily cleanser for all skin types.

What I think:

Well almost the same as the description! It really made my skin soft and clean feeling. The only thing is that this one is a little bit too rich for me. It's really nice for combination/dry skin, but after using it for a while I noticed I got more blackheads and a few break outs. Noting bad, but I need something a little less rich.

Wich brought me to this one:

Herbalism

Description:

This one is specifically designed to help absorb excess oils and leave the skin looking less shiny, making it great for skin on the oily side. We put calming rose and chamomile in to soothe and ground almonds for a gentle exfoliation, helping clear up troubled spots.

What I Think:

I loooove this one! It does everything it says. Most acne products I used dried me out and made my brake outs worse, but this one balances my skin out perfectly!

How I use it:

It is a kind of weird product to use though... Most cleansers are liquid or a bar of soap, this is a crumbly mud. So you have to use a specific technique if you don't want this to end up all over the bathroom floor instead of your face..

You'll need Lush's Herbalism.

Seriously?! Yes.

Take a coin sized dot.

Mix it with a few drops of water into a paste.

Press a washcloth with hot water on your skin to dampen it and open up pores.

Massage the paste into your skin, and yes, It'll look like some kind of moss is growing on your face.

Wash off with water.

Now apply a toner and moisturizer!

I'll review the ones I use some time soon!

New Boots

I've bought boots last week!

I spotted these gray suede knee high boots a while ago but didn't buy them untill last week, becouse I wasn't sure about the wedge heel...

But... I kept on trying them on every time I past by them, so I finaly had to buy them... :) And I love them! The wedges make them alot more wearable then tower high heels. Even suiteble for snowy walks to work!

Look at the pretty snow :) Fingers crossed for a white christmas!!

boots: HotIce

cardigen: Zara

tanktop dress: H&M

necklace: Accessorize

Hong Kong order!

A while ago I orderd a few things from the website YesStyle. An online shop that sells... well anything!

I'm not an online order kind of girl though... I like to try on, feel, sniff and get my hands on stuff befor I commit to spending money on it. But sometimes I just can't find what I want in local stores... And this website has ALOT of stuff.

I picked outs theese 3 things:

A bag!

(BoynMen Tote Bag €56)

I've been searching for a plain yet stylish black bag and that was surprisingly hard to find!

This one i found in the mens section!

It has a combination of black/gray-ish chunky woven cotton and black leather.

I love texture combinations like that.

Booties!

(Wifky Boots €53)

Yes I know... Fake UGGS...

I just really needed something warm and comfortable for winter scool days. And didn't want to pay the €

250 (or more I think) for them.

I liked the leater look of theese. Just a little different than what everyone else has.

A Christmas Dress!

(PUFFY Deer Dress €

27)

I wanted something fun to wear for christmas this year :)

This reminded me of the traditional deer jumpers grandma's knit for you for chrismas!

And becouse spend over a sertain amout of money I got free shipping and a free gift!! Yey!

NYE Dresses

So it's party month December, and I plan to party indeed!

The party I'm always most excited about is New Years Eve! I's The one party a year you can really dress up and not look overdressed! (Up here anyway... If there's a place in this world where you can always dress like this, please tell me :)

I'm wearing a mini dress and high heels! And off course I want a new dress, just for the occasion! (I'm such a girl... )

I do have a budget, so finding a perfect dress within that budget is kind of a challange. But theese are some dresses I found on online stores that I love.

(click to enlarge)

I like a simple little black dress with an interresting detail. I'm still on the hunt though.. So if you have any suggestions??

New Shoes!

Just a quick post about the booties I bought last week.

I saw theese on Kim's blog: All About The Style. I couldn't resist.. I had to buy them!

I'm obsessed with black and studs lately so they fit right into my collection! They're easy to walk in even though they're kind of high. Nice to make a everyday outfit a little bit more interesting! :)

Artdeco Eyeshadow Base

I while ago I bought some Artdeco Makeup, and I kind of really like this brand! It doesn't cost much and has just a little bigger viarety of products then others brands in this price range.

For exsample the Eyeshadow Base.

What is says:

"Eyeshadow base considerably inproves the durability, colour intensity and luminescence of powder eye shadow and makes it waterproof. With vitamin E and bisabolol."

And it really does all of that!

My makeup stays on all day and I even need an oil-based makeup remover to get it off at night! (wich makes the waterproof part true!) I'm guessing the last two are for caring and anti-aging of the skin, so thats always good.

I've seen people compair it with Urban Decay Primer Potion and Too Faced Shadow Insurance.

And considering I only paid about 6/7 euro's for this, thats pretty good!!

The only down side for me is that it has glitter in it... Not a lot, but it does show up through my matte eyeshadows...

It doesn't really matter though, I haven't worn my eyeshadow without this since I first used it, and won't ever again!
