Mini Lush Haul but not really a haul
Lush Fresh Face Mask Cosmetic Warrior Review
This is my 2nd fresh face mask that i tried! I didn't review Cupcake but it was nice and it smelled good. I really like Cosmetic Warrior because i felt like it helped with my breakouts especially with it's tree tea oil. I don't know how i feel about the garlic but if it works it works. The smell isn't the best but it's doable. It smells like tea tree with a hint of garlic. You can only buy fresh face masks in store because it must be refrigerated. They all go for $6.95 which is a bargin for how much is in a 2oz pot. These containers are part of the 5 pots for one free fresh face mask so do not throw away your pots! I usually cannot finish these in the 3 week time period comfortably. Last time i slathered the remaining amount and it was not fun.
If you have a Lush nearby i suggest trying out a fresh face mask that fits your skin! It would be great for a girls night in.
First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream Review
So i really really wanted to try this moisturizer out and it's a dream. For something more on the highend side of moisturizers it's not too expensive. I got the 2 oz size since I'm not interested in dipping my fingers into a jar since i have long nails. The formula is not greasy and you can feel the moisture right away. It blends into your skin easily and you can use it anywhere not just your face! I tried to look for this a couple of weeks ago but the Sephora lady had no clue that it was in the beauty to go section and told me they don't sell it... so always ask another if you find it on the site and it's item thing. I will use this at night since there is NO SPF. make sure to use a sunscreen if you're going to wear it during the day time. The 2 oz retails for $12 and the 6 oz retails for $28. When i run out i will most likely get the larger one but probably transfer it into another squeeze tube bottle.

Mini Lush Haul
First actual Lush Haul! I'm pretty excited about this because it's going to be my new skin regime. I'm giving up on Clean Start because after 7 weeks my skin did not get better which i was so sad about. Proactiv works fine but it's really harsh on my skin. I hope using Lush will help out my skin more. I bought Grease Lightning, Tea Tree Water, and Cupcake fresh face mask. They're all supposed to help blemished and oily skin. The sales associates at Lush are super nice too!
Olay Active Hydrating Cream Original Review
Since winter comes with making my skin super dry when it's usually moisturized with my basic moisturizer, i needed to get a cream for night. my skin got so dry to the point that around my eyes were burning for my skin being so dehydrated no matter how much moisturizer i put. so i opted out for this cream since i trust olay with their moisturizers and it was less than $7
There was also Night of Olay or Olay of Night not sure which way in stock but it's a firming cream and i'm way too young for that yet. Also, this cream mentioned it is for young skin. Also note that there is fragrance in it and once you open the jar it's apparent. It smells like baby powder by the way :)
It comes in a 2 oz. jar which is a pretty decent size! the cream itself it pretty thick but that a light weight to it. It is also pink if that bothers anyone! i seriously thought about baby powder when i put this on but it is so moisturizing. I really hope it works out for the parts of my face that is dry beyond repair of summer moisturizers.
