Sneaky Drugstore Haul

A week or so ago, I was having one of those days and I somehow ended up at CVS with my hands filled with things I have been eyeing for a while. You can tell that my purchases were a bit nail heavy...

Masha's Spring Lipsticks

 It is finally getting warm outside and you can smell spring in the air. I figured it was time that I share a couple of my favorite spring lipsticks. As much as I adore berry colors, in the springtime and summertime, I wear lighter shades. 

Masha's Top Winter Lipsticks

In my opinion, winter is the best time to wear bright colors on your lips because your complexion is at its lightest (unless you're lucky enough to live in a location where it's sunny year-round). I feel like I'm at that age where actual lipstick, not lipgloss or lip stain, is typically only acceptable for special outings. However, for an everyday look, I usually apply a lighter coat of the lipstick than when I'm going out. This still livens my face and makes me look less like a zombie. 

Review of Lush Lip Scrub in "Mint Julips"

Although Lush stores are filled with a multitude of colorful soaps, bath bombs, and other eye-catching concoctions, I have spent little time experimenting with their products. The stores are filled with overwhelming aromas and the walls are lined with charming wooden shells. I always feel as if I've stepped out of the noisy mall and into a small European boutique (which is no wonder since the company was founded in England). I have a great deal of respect for this company because all their cosmetics are handmade and they never use animal testing. The item I purchased not so long ago is one of their lip scrubs in the flavor Mint Julips.
