Hey again everyone! Well after I finished my exams this week I decided to reward myself with a shopping trip. My goal was to buy more clothes but…. I ended up in Lush, Mac, and Nars…..Opps! I failed at buying clothes but walked out with much emptier pockets but a full shopping bag…okay bags. Well my first shopping stop was Lush!
I first purchased the Rub Rub Rub shower scrub and the Dirty Springwater shower gel. Now I have only used these twice so I can't give much of a review but I can give you what I feel about them so far. The Rub Rub Rub shower scrub leaves my skin feeling smooth, however I just wish there was a different scent to it because its really dull and bland. Now with the Dirty Springwater shower gel, I got home and checked out what I bought online, because all the things I bought are in japanese so all I knew was this is used to wash my body with haha. Anyway I found out this is part of Lush's line for men and women, which put me off a bit. However, when I tried the product it has a minty smell and is deodorizing which kind of appealed to me in a strange way. So, surprisingly I like it it makes you feel fresh and clean!

Next I purchased the Skin Drink moisturizer and the Eau Roma Water Toner spray. With the Skin Drink moisturizer I was not originally and am still not all that impressed with the product it just seems like it makes my face greasy when I put it on then later it actually added no moisture to my face which in my opinion was no good for me! Next with the Eau Roma Water toner spray I really am enjoying this product. It smells amazing and does the job it is supposed to do and did I mention it smells amazing?

My Next purchase is an all time favorite of mine, it's Lush's Ocean Salt and here in Japan it's called Venus something (sorry really bad with kanji). I love this product it's a facial scrub that both exfoliates and moisturizes! They say you can use it on your body and face but I don't want to waste it on my body because I love how it feels on my face. This is something I would recommend to you all!

My Last two purchases were a Robot Bath Bomb and a Butter Bomb. Can i say yay yay yay! I love treating myself to anything bath or spa related so I was a happy camper with these! Now I haven't tried the Robot Bath Bomb yet but I will keep you updated on my love/hate for it! However, I have tried the Butter Bomb and I am in love with the way my skin feels! It's so smooth and I will for sure go back and buy around 10 more!

The next store I just happened to stumble into was Nars. I had heard really good things about the Nars Creamy Concealer and was excited to try this out so I bought this baby! I bought it in a shade that is slightly lighter then my skin tone because #1 I get super pale and it will come in handy and #2 I want to use it under my eyes and having it lighter will brighten those dark circles up! So, far I am loving it under my eyes there are no creases and it brightens them!

The last store that I wandered into was M.A.C. ahhh heaven. I got 2 things here (and was greeted with a free sample when i opened the bag!). The first thing I bought was M.A.C.'s prep + prime translucent powder. I love this stuff and it's a great powder! It does its job and keeps your face looking matte. Next I bought M.A.C.'s matte eyeshadow in Omega. This is not only a good eyeshadow but I also use it to fill in my brows, I think its a perfect shade for dirty blonde hair like mine! Of course I love this product as well! Now for my little free sample I got the M.A.C prep + prime Fortified Skin Enhancer Illuminateur De Teint SPF 35/PA+++ (such a long name) and I am actually liking this. It comes in different types such as illuminating, neutralizing and more that i can't remember. It's basically a primer and the illuminating one that i have gives you a nice glow. I might have to go out and get the full size but I am still on the fence with this product.
