Sunday Review

What is a Sunday Review? Well, I am going to be reviewing one or two of my favorite things every Sunday. Simple as that! I have been wanting to do this for awhile now and today seemed like a great day to start. I will be reviewing everything from bath products to restaurants. Basically, everything that I really, really like or love.

So, here goes for this week:

For those who know me well, know that j'adore Lush Cosmetics. I absolutely love everything about the company from their values and ethics to their funky named products. When Lush first came out, I tried a few things and wasn't really a fan, but a decade or so later, they have really improved on their stuff! There are still a few things which I am iffy about, but most of their line I love. I have been using Lush so regularly that when I went into Bath and Body Works the other day, it was way to chemically smelling for me. Some people get this reaction when they walk into Lush, but not me. I go in there, inhale a big breath and brace myself (and my wallet) for the delights I soon will be taking home to enjoy.

The Comforter Bubble Bar

Lush Description - Fruity black currant bubbles to soften you up.

My description - Comforter is one of my all time faves! The smell is sweet like candy, with a hint of wicked fruitfulness. The feel is soft,cozy, densely produced bubbles, not like those big, crappy bubbles you get from cheap bubble bath. Comforter will not dry out your skin. This point is especially important to me, as I have eczema and need all the moisture I can get. I love this product because underneath the mountain of white bubbles, you have a pink sea. Yep, turns the water pink. Don't worry, it won't stain the bath tub or leave a ring.

The cost in Canada for this product is 8.95. That might seem like alot for one bubble bar, but it is totally worth every penny. Lush claims there is enough of The Comforter to have 2 baths. Umm, let's try 6-8 baths. If you were to add half of The Comforter to your bath, watch out for bubble explosion! I take about a walnut sized amount and that is just perfect for me, and I like alot of bubbles. Just make sure you toss it under running water, this is what produces those lovely, cozy Comforter bubbles.

Heavanilli Massage Bar

Lush Description - A sexy vanilla massage bar you'll want to rub all over - absolutely heavenly!

My Description - A sweetly smelling massage bar that smells like pure vanilla with a bit of a kick. Like smelling a freshly opened vanilla pod. Does not smell like artificial vanilla one bit. At first I was leery about using a massage bar, but then I found out about is secret use. I don't use it for massages, but for wonderful body moisturizing. I get out of the shower and even before I towel dry off, I rub Heavanilli all over, like you would for a body lotion. The sweet smell lingers all day. I have had alot of complements that I smell good! Because Heavanilli is a massage bar, it is loaded with all sorts of good stuff like cocoa butter, coconut oil, and shea butter. Not too bad for 9.95! It does leave a bit of a film on your skin, but it is not heavy and greasy. It is soft and smooth. You will not find yourself having to find a towel to rub off some of the excess! If you have dry skin like mine, give Heavanilli a try. You will love it!

That's it for today. Hope you enjoyed my Sunday Review.
