Review: Yes to Carrots Shampoo & Conditioner

The Yes to Carrots shampooo and conditioner works wonders for my hair. It has made it stronger and all that good stuff to keep your hair looking and feeling healthy. Now these dont smell the carrots, I promise. They just smell really fresh but yet unique. It's just one of those scents you personally have to smell to make sure you like it. I recommend this product to any one. I think from now on I am going to put links at the end to make it easier if you want to look further into these products and where to buy them and prices and all that fun stuff. *They have other products besides yes to carrots so make sure to check out their website*

In recap of the Red & Pink event.......
-Willow Pattern Soap from Lush
-The Ex-Factor bath bomb from Lush
-From Dusk Till Dawn soap from Lush
-Magic Mushroom Bubble Bar from Lush
-Strawberry Feels Forever Massage Bar by Lush
-Forever Red Collection from Bath&Body Works.

Forever Red (VDay#5)

To wrap up our Valentine's Day Pink & Red event, I've chosen to feature something that I just have to. (Because its a Valentine's day collection!) Also, twisting it up a bit, this is from Bath and Body. May I present The Forever Red Collection.

The Forever Red collection by Bath and Body Works is the seasonal Valentine's Day collection that is brought out around now.

I can't really pinpoint the smell, but it smells like...warm flowers. You can also find a trace of citrus in there. It does, however, smell a lot like the other products that B&BW has had before.

The perfume/fragrance bottles look really really fancy and cool. (I just have a thing for cool containers.)

My only big issue with this is the price. $14.50 for a TRAVEL SIZED fragrance must. The lotions are over $20. I asked an employee why it was so expensive, and her only response was that "it uses higher-quality ingredients."
Hmmm. I checked the back, it doesn't show any extra ingredients than the other lotions and soaps.

They are available in a set, which is somewhere between $40 and $50, I believe.

Look: ••••• (5 stars)
Price: $$$-$$$$$
(Range: $14.50-$50.)

Strawberry Feels Forever (VDay#4)

It looks like a strawberry. It smells like a strawberry. Because it is! Lush's Strawberry Feels Forever Massage bar.

Lush's Strawberry Feel Forever is sure to amaze. It is a massage bar, which is used to make your skin soft and smelling great. This smells EXACTLY like sweet strawberries.

Also, add on a bit of Lush's Vanilla Puff Powder, for a strawberry milkshake smell.

Overall, this is a very sweet massage bar, and is a must buy.

Scent: ••••• (5 stars)
Look: •••• (4 stars)
Price: $10.95
(Dusting Powder: $6.95)

Mushroom Magic Bubble Bar (VDay#3)

Lush's cutest bubble maker is back. The Magic Mushroom. The magic mushroom is a cute, sweet smelling strawberry and vanilla combo. The red cap holds the vanilla scents, and the stem is the strawberry. To use it, use it similarly to the bubble wands. Swish it over the water for instant bubbles.

I think this is adorable. It smells like the description, but it was more overpowering than anything. Definitely not as strawberry as my next review, but awesome all the same.

Look: •••••
Price: $5.95

It's available at Lush for only a very limited time, so stock up before they disappear!

Revenge is Sweet~The Ex-Factor (VDay#2)

Revenge is oh-so-sweet. When love is not in the air on Valentine's Day, time to use what you've got left. Revenge.

If you're in the need for some cynical revenge, look no farther. Lush's the Ex-Factor is sure to please.

The Ex-Factor is a BATH BOMB, not soap. (Like a bath fizzer, just a lot cooler.)

The bath bomb smells like a warm, musky vanilla. The scent of revenge. (Which I had no idea it was, until now. At least that explains why people eat vanilla ice cream when they are sad.)

All you have to do is tear apart the little man limb by limb, maniacally cackling along the way, until you get to his heart. Then, BOOM!
Revenge satisfied.

Valentine's Day Event~ The Willow Pattern Soap

Valentine's Day is a day for sweet things. And what better than sweet smelling soaps, lotions, and fragrances?
Here is part one of our Valentine's Day countdown event.

WILLOW PATTERN SOAP


Lush's newest Valentine's day soap, the Willow Pattern, definitely makes a mark. The scent is VERY strong, not precisely smelling like the description.

The description says it smells like rose petals and lemon. Two of my all time favorite scents. But this one did not smell exactly like either. I could smell more rose than lemon, and it just smelled a little funky. It's not my favorite scent, but it definitely smells good.

Overall ratings:
Smell: ••• (3 stars)
Look: ••••• (5 stars)
Price: $$-$$$$$

Review: EOS Hand Lotion: Berry Blossom

This is a very moisturizing hand cream. But not too thick or too thin. Just perfect. The scent is awesome it's a very light berry scent perfect for a hand cream. Overall I recommend this 102% Seriously go buy it.

Have a product you love? We love to hear from you guys. Comment the product name or a link to where to buy it.

Aeropostale~ Promise Me

I find it very sad that most promising-looking fragrances smell like overloaded hand-sanitizer. That eye-watering, weird scent that smells so strong you can't stand it.

I hoped this would be different. The description online is "vanilla and summer breeze." Uh, no. To me, it smells like overloaded hand sanitizer. (And not the good kind like Emilie's Top 10)
Maybe I just have a weird schnoz, but this isn't one that I would buy. It's also very expensive for the small bottle.

Review: Bath Bomb Space Girl (Lush)

        


This is one of Lush's most popular bath bombs. I thought since it is I would share my thoughts on it. I really like it because it makes your bath water a really pretty purple color. The scent is a very light fruity and floral scent. I wish it was a little stronger because it is very light. I like the look of the bath bomb. Overall I recommend this bath bomb to annyone. Also the lush bath bombs are great for little kids because it will make them want to take a bath.

I hope you guys liked this review. If you have a product you love and think I should try. Leave it in the comments.

Review: Control Freak Shampoo and Conditioner

Tigi's Control Freak Bed Head Shampoo and Conditioner is an anti-frizzy-hair, which I've figured would be very useful, since my hair sticks up a lot. The bottle itself and the shampoo and conditioner looked pretty cool. A big, towery pump bottle with this neon green shampoo in it.

The bottle says it smells like a "lustrous salon shampoo." I can't decide if it smells like some apple-flavored salon shampoo, or poop.

My hair isn't free of fly-aways, and I think it's dried out my hair a lot. :(

Smells: •• (2 stars)
Looks: •••• (4 stars)
Price: $$-$$$$ (I'm not precisely sure)

Review: Snow Fairy

The Snow Fairy shower wash is definitely my favorite body washes there. The description says it smell like candy, but what I smell is vanilla, sugar, and other sweet things. My parents say is smells like candy from when they were kids.
The packaging is really cute, and the soap it's self is pink. It's available in three sizes, and depending on the store, in solid perfume/fragrance. (It wasn't at the store at my mall)
It is only seasonal around Christmas time, however. That's the only downside.

Review: Northern Lights

Lush's Northern Lights soap bar has to be one of my favorites yet. It has a tangy, lemon smell, but it isn't overpowering. Surprisingly, it doesn't smell like cleaning spray, and is a bit lighter than Lush's Sexy Peel soap. It's a bit expensive,like most just stuff, but it's worth it. (It really depends how much you get.)
