I haven’t come across anyone who doesn’t like or better yet love, adore and live for Lush products. I’ve recently discovered their best selling, cult favourite Snow Fairy which is only available now during the holiday season and I’m utterly and unequivocally hooked!

Here are my top 5 reasons why I love the Lush Snow Fairy line and why you should love it too!

1. It smells delicious! If you’re the kind of girl who loves sweet yet not obnoxious scents, Lush Snow Fairy is for you! It smells like fruity candy (almost a hint of banana or maybe sherbet??) mixed with a little bit of vanilla – mmm!

2. It’s pink! I prefer the colour pink in small doses but I can’t help but smile at the hot pink colour of this product. It’s the perfect colour match for the sweet scent.

3. It sparkles! I love the pretty iridescent pink sparkles in the shower gel. It’s just that little touch of fun that makes it special.

4. It uses 100% non-animal tested ingredients! As with most Lush products, this one is cruelty free and organic.

5. A little goes a long way! What I love most is you don’t need a lot of the product to get a good lather. Just squeeze a small amount onto a damped shower mesh pouf and you’re good to go!

My only problem with Lush Snow Fairy is it’s a seasonal product. If you fall in love with this scent, it’s best to stock up on it because they will sell out before the season is over! Head over to the Lush website to try it out for yourself!

1. Black diamonds are also called Carbonado. A name coined by Portuguese because of the diamonds resemblance to porous charcoal.
2. They are found in the Central Afric and Brazil, with Brazil being the major source.
3. The natural colour of a black diamond ranges …read more

Are you ready for Black Friday? Personally, I do all of my holiday (and regular) shopping online because I’d rather not deal with crazed shoppers and long lines.  However, if you’re one of the brave souls who are planning to wade through crowds on November 27th, here are a few things you might want to take with you and keep in mind.
1. Wear comfortable shoes! This should go without saying but don’t sacrifice your favourite shoes or your feet in order to get good deals.
2. Consider carrying a cross-body bag. Or go without a handbag. You will need your hands …read more

It maybe be a little early but I’ve already begun to listen to Christmas music (ok, I started a couple weeks ago).  I love this time of year so I always try to savour each day and make the most of the holiday season.

One of the best products to use when you want to look awake and fresh is a bit of blush.

In no particular order, of course…
Mata Hari – A lovely rosy shade of pink
Angelika – A bright, cheery cotton candy pink with gold sparkles
