Mini Haul

Hey guys! Over the weekend I've managed to stock up on a few little things, of which I will be reviewing this week! Either way, here's a little preview!

I've got here the Lush Retro Scentenary Soap, a Clinique Pallete, Bath and Body Work's new Forever Midnight Perfume, and Clinique Happy perfume.

On Saturday, my local Lush had it's one-year anniversary party (which I missed, unfortunately) where this fantabulous rose soap was on sale. It's a Lush Retro, apparently, and I got a small piece, but I can't wait to try this guy out, and I'll have the full review later this week!

Bath and Body Works has just unveiled it's sister-series to Forever Red- Forever Midnight! (Which is honestly much better.) Unlike most of the Bath and Body Fragrances, Forever Midnight is an eau de parfum, not a body spray. (You can read about that difference in my other post.) This is the limited edition preview is a prelude to the big release, so check it out before these cute little bottles disappear!

This was in a promotional bag at Macy's (yay), and I haven't tried it out yet (I am completely covered with Forever Midnight on my neck, and sample sprays from the store of Versace Bright Crystal and Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb on my wrists) but I'm excited to!

Lastly, I don't think I'll be doing a review on this, but this also came with the Clinique Happy, and is the All About Shadows Quad. The colors are Angelic Eyes, Pruple Pump, Lavender Out Loud, and Graphite.

That's it for now, but I'll have reviews up later this week!

Halloween Has Landed at Lush!

I find that the seasonal products are always the best! (Too bad you can only get them once a year.)

Either way, Halloween had landed at Lush! The limited edition products include The Lord of Misrule bath bomb, the Pumkin bubble bar (yeah, it's spelled without the "p"), the Soot Ball bath bomb, and Demon in the Dark Soap. 

                                                

                                                         (Lord of Misrule and Pumkin)

                                                   

                                                                 (Demon in the Dark)

This Halloween collection includes a wide variety of scents (as wide as four products can be), including fresh mint (Demon in the Dark), musky citrus (Lord of Misrule), and of course, pumpkin! (The store I was at didn't have any Soot Balls.) 

According to Lush website, there are a bunch more products in the Halloween collection. I only saw those above, but here are all of them, just in case you were wondering:

Buffy Body Butter, Dark Angels Cleanser, Enchanter Bath Bomb, Ceridwen's Caulderon Bath Melt, Enchanted Eye Cream, Devil's Nightcap Perfume (I wonder how this smells), Wiccy Magic Muscles Massage Bar (I think they just renamed one of the current ones), Skin Sin Lotion, and Bewitched Massage Bar.

Quite a few! Either way, they're definitely worth having a look at. I have to say my favorite seasonal collection is the Christmas one, though. Speaking of which, Lush already has their Christmas collection up on their website. I've got my eye on this litttle guy.

Anyways, how will you get into your Halloween spririt? (And who knows, maybe we'll have a special Halloween surprise!)

SPOTTED: NEW Baby Lips Dr. Rescue

Morning! Yeah, this is another spotted post. But it's going to be good, trust me. J
A couple days ago on Pinterest, I caught a glimpse of a Baby Lips in WHITE PACKAGING. Squee!
And then I saw them at Walmart- Baby Lips Dr. Rescue!

(Please excuse the bad quality of the pictures.)

The Baby Lips Dr. Rescue come in six different shades: Coral Crave, Too Cool, Pink Me Up, Just Peachy, Soothing Sorbet, and Berry Soft. There were only three different ones there, which were Coral Crave (the one I got) Berry Soft, and a different one I don't remember, so I only have those pictured, but a google search will easily bring them up.

They've joined the electros and regular ones in the normal display, so as of now, I think it's safe to say that they're here to stay!
The one I got is in Coral Crave. I've been looking for Coral Crush (the spring limited edition) but I couldn't find it anywhere, but when I saw this, I couldn't help but buying it! I'll have a mini review on it for you guys tomorrow or sometime soon. Oh! make sure to check out Walmart before dishing out almost five dollars for one at Ulta. You can get them for under $3 at Walmart, and they have much more! (Also, check out the Walmart product locator to see if there are any in your nearest Walmart.)

Ciao!

Lush World Peace Bath Bomb (by Ruby)

Hi! I'm Ruby. I'm twelve years old, and I love soap. :)
Today I'm going to be reviewing my first ever bath bomb from Lush. It's called the World Peace Bath bomb, a lovely green and blue bath bomb from Lush that's well, shaped like the world!

''Relax in an oasis of calm as your bath water turns a serene, azure-turquoise and the fresh, sweet scent of peppermint and uplifting tangerine oils envelop you. This is your very own Piece of peace, so take a moment to stop and think. Who will you make peace with?''

When you drop it into your bath and watch it fizzle, your bath turns a mythical, exotic, blue-green color, making you feel as if you are a mystical mermaid in a dazzling lake!

The smell is fresh, crisp peppermint, and not the boring old toothpaste peppermint- it's sweet smelling and relaxing.

When dropping the half of the bath bomb into the water (it was too awesome  to use all at once) the water turned the most stunning  blue-green. My favourite part was when it started to frizz and travel around the tub, sending colours most beautiful in its wake.

I think customers of Lush  and even people who are new to bath bombs would love it...it is a must buy. The smell is fantastic, the colours are amazing, and the look is very nice.

Overall ratings:

Scent: ***** (five roses)

Look: ***** (five roses)

Durability: N/A (you can only use bath bombs once!)

Price: 4.99 Euro  (Editor's Note: The conversion to American Dollars would be $6.75)

And the overall rating is....

SPOTTED: EOS Limited Edition Five-Pack

Sound the alarms! Just kidding, but seriously. Taking the spotlight on our first "spotted" post, EOS!

While EOS smooth spheres are sold individually too, they can reach about $4! Pricey. That's why this pack was almost irresistible- you get almost half off! 

The pack contains 5 different flavors:

(Strawberry Sorbet, Cool Mint, Honeysuckle Honeydew, Passion Fruit, and Summer Fruit.)

So, while I don't have a picture of the packaging (but the top picture shows it!) I can tell you that it's located in the pharmacy/cosmetics section. I found this pack literally right between the pharmacy and skincare sections, for $10.99. 

I have to say that Honeysuckle Honeydew and Cool Mint are definitely the best in the set. (Mint is definitely the most potent, while Honeydew has a clean but strong, melon-y scent.)

You can see our review of some EOS lip balms here.

So, check it out! (And while you're there, check out the $50 designer fragrance section!) 

Fashion Week 2013

Okay, so I know that Le Renifleur is a fragrance/skincare review blog. But I just couldn't resist making a pos about this. After all, hello?! Paris is one of the fashion capitols of the world.  I just HAD to do a post covering this. So bear with me. 

While I cannot name all of the designers for the life of me, and I am most definitely not in Paris, NYC, London, or Milan right now (I wish I was), I've put together a string of my favorite new designs together, along with some inspiration from the designers. These pictures are a collection from my "2013 Fashion Week" board on Pinterest, so have a look!

Announcement: Le Renifleur is Under Construction!

If you've noticed that the pages above have been all out of order and messed up, don't worry, you're not going crazy. 

We are currently working on making the layout more readable and better. We will still be posting, though, and we hope to have everything done by the end of this weekend. 

Have a great long weekend!
