today's shopping haul & new in my sidebar


hey guys! this is the result of today's shopping spree with hannah that i probably shouldn't have gone on as i am still unemployed. >.< we went to ulta, lush, cvs, and walmart.

also, maybe some of you are curious, i added a list of bloggers/vloggers i've been following on the right sidebar. please check out cooking with dog; it's hilarious. i mean, it's a japanese man, speaking english with a "french" accent as the dog's voice-over...and yummy japanese food goodness. >w< i have a few more vloggers that tarryn follows saved, but haven't watched many of their videos yet to decide if i like them too or not. and if you didn't notice it, i added a link to my twitter that i just started in the sidebar as well.
LOL @ obama sushi, had to add this.  ~L-c ^.~

Revlon Lip Butters -- the online beauty community is raving about these right now! and i think these are awesome too. to me, they're a step up from a tinted balm, but not lipstick consistency and the color is long lasting. they're not super "butter"-y to me, i feel that 'buttery' is Fresh Advanced Therapy. but i do like how they feel and that they're moisturizing. i'm a little disappointed in two of the colors i chose, as they look very nude/sheer on my arm but on my lips....well, not so much. creamsicle looks like a shiny orangy-white on me and creme brulee made my lips the same color as my skin.....kinda creepy looking. sugar frosting is a little brighter than my lip color but goes on almost sheer, and pink truffle looks like it'll be the brightest red i'll ever wear as i'm not a huge red fan; my favorite lipstick is a beige-brown (Delovely). i think i'll try them again and see, but that's what i think of them now.  i do want to try a few other colors eventually, but not right away as i do not have a job yet. ^^; 我没有钱!but we'll see. as far as availability: went to ulta, cvs, and walmart today. ulta was completely sold out of every shade, cvs had like 5 shades, and walmart had all but one shade. so try walmart or target or something.

update 1/22: i'm giving creme brulee another shot, but my opinion of creamsicle is the same.
Maybelline Illegal Length mascara in Blackest Black, waterproof -- i have yet to try it, but i'll talk about it sometime later.


Lush -- ok so i splurged on myself a lot at this store today. TT_TT two of these were not purchased today (1 & 6), but a the comforter bubble bar (mini-review) that i did buy isn't shown because i already broke it apart. of the following, i have only used #7 before.
  1. Twilight bath bomb -- it doesn't smell like straight lavender to me, like it's been sweetened..if that makes sense...
  2. Mrs. Whippy bath bomb -- can't describe the scent, but definitely not strawberries and cream like the site says!
  3. Butterball bath bomb -- i love vanilla scented things, yum!
  4. You've Been Mangoed bath melt -- smells like lemons, not mangoes... very melty when held.
  5. Strawberry Feels Forever massage bar (tin sold separately) -- faint scent of strawberries, feels a little melty.
  6. Avobath bath bomb -- smells like fruit loops!
  7. Sex Bomb bath bomb (x2) -- i love the way this smells. it's jasmine and my whole apartment smelled like this for a while after using it. >w< i'm not a huge fan of the "blooming flower" though, it feels like weird gelatin when using (it's stiff when dry).
  8. Creamy Candy bubble bar -- smells similar to the comforter, maybe sweeter..like you can eat it! and yes, that is an actual piece of candy, like cake décor, in it
  9. Dragon's Egg bath bomb -- citrus-y, smells kind of like fruit loops, but not as strongly as avobath does!
  10. MMM Melting Marshmallow Moment bath melt -- looks like a flat-topped cupcake, smells like chamomile, is not melty feeling..texture is similar to bubble bars
  11. Happy Blooming bath melt -- faint cherry scent, same consistency as #4, but does not feel melty when held
