Aggies Do It Better

Hey guys! Today's post is a simple love letter to my favorite scent from Lush, Rose Jam!  Rose Jam is by far, hands down my favorite thing Lush makes. I can't even describe how amazing it is. Its rose-ish but not overly perfumey, and sweet but not sickening like fake fruity flavors. It was only available in this tiny bottle (which is not as big as it looks in my hand..it's definitely travel size)in the Rosie gift box set I ordered a while ago, because it's a seasonal item only available around the holiday in the larger size! What the heck, Lush! Luckily I don't have to wait much longer for the holiday stuff to come out, and then I will be buying all the things! It even comes in a ginormo 1Kg size! I can't decide if I want to get several of the "average" size bottles or just one of the big ones, which should last me a year, and just refill the bottle I have! Decisions! Husband opinion: he liked it. He said that the smell reminded him of what y...

Hey guys! Today I have another Bubble Bar from Lush, its the Rose Jam bubbleroon! They have 3 of these macaron looking bubbleroons, I'll have the other 2 coming soon! These bubblebars have two halves sandwiched together by shea butter "icing". Dreamy! In case you haven't read any of my Lush reviews yet, I'm just a regular gal using laymen's terms reviewing these items I purchased myself!

Howdy! Today I have a review of the super popular Lush Twilight bomb and a matching mani! Find out what's on my nails and if I think Twilight lives up to the hype! 

Hey guys! Today I have the Mellowed Out Cremes from Pipe Dream Polish. I bought these several months ago and I'm pretty sure they're not available anymore, so sorry about that! I've worn a few already and have posted them but they still deserve their own post, now that I have time! :) The colors are unique in my collection-they are pastel cremes but some of them almost seem neon-pastel....who knew that could be a thing?! Each of these swatches is 2 coats plus topcoat. I'm enjoying taking pictures outside again while we still have sunny days here...but sometimes it doesn't quite make colors as accurate as they look in real life so in those cases I've included pictures under my lights or in the shade. Take it easy is  raspberry creme-we all know that's my favorite shade of pink!    take it easy Unwind is a nice neural nude with yellow undertones, which pair nicely with my skin tone. I've already worn this one!   unwind Keep calm...

Hello! Today I have a quick little review of a new makeup brush cleaner I picked up! Usually I just use Mrs Meyers soap and a little brush egg. I've been hearing about solid brush cleaners so I thought I'd give it a go! On my nails is China Glaze Dope Taupe, from the Fall Rebel collection, you can see the full line of polishes HERE!  Sephora solid brush cleaner When you open it there's a little scrubby pad in there.    To use this I put the pad in the cap,  Got my brush wet and swirled it around on the soap.   Then I swirled it around on the silicone pad. My foundation brushes get the grossest so I had to repeat it until it rinsed clean a couple times.   You can probably tell by the picture of this container in my hand, it's not too big but it was big enough to get my largest brush in there, the power Real Techniques brush.    I also thought I'd give it a go for my sponges, which I'm using t...

Hello! Today I have a review of the Tisty Tosty bath bomb from Lush and a matching mani :) This is my second time using Tisty Tosty, I previously bought it about 6 months ago and wasn't super impressed, but had a chance to try it again when it came in the Rosie box I recently purchased! Click read more to see if I changed my mind or not! 

Hi guys! I'm finally getting around to posting about my Island Girl polishes, some of which I've had forever! I really haven't even worn them that much so this is a good refresher. I have a pretty good amount so I'm going to be splitting them up over the coming weeks and months! Island Girl polish is only available at ABC Stores in Hawaii and Las Vegas. I have one from Hawaii and the rest either I or my husband picked up on various trips to Vegas (him for work)! Island Girl polishes also have a quirky naming/labeling system, the older ones have names and numbers, but the newer ones only have numbers! What the heck, Island Girl! So I looked at all the numbers and codes on my bottles and tried to roughly divide them into similar groups. Today's group (with the exception of the first one) have an "R" in front of the numbers so I'm gonna guess that means "regular" polishes? haha! Others have "N" for neon and "P" for pastel...

Hello! Today I have another Lush review. This is the "A French Kiss"  bubble bar. I paired it with Zoya Finley from the fall collection called Urban Grunge Metallics, you can see my review of them HERE! It smells divine, of lavender but not super strong. The ones in the store have a little lavender sprig sticking up out of them, but since I ordered mine online I think it broke off. That's ok though!  Here's a look at Zoya Finley under my lights indoors. So So So gorgeous!   Zoya Finley Let's get to the review, shall we! The first time I used it, I only broke off a little at a time. I just crumbled it under the water running and swooshed it around a little. I actually wound up using a tiny bit more than shown here, but still definitely less than half. I elected not to use a sieve like a lot of people do.  By the time the bath was full all the little bits had dissolved.  Even that tiny bit was more than enough to fill up my whole giant...

Hey guys! Today I have a few new Picture Polishes to share with y'all! I recently (well, a few months ago) took advantage of one of the major sales they have and added some more to my collection! I have too many to do in one post so I'm splitting them up! I also will be finally getting to my last couple of untried Picture Polishes-if you can believe I still have some! Spring is a lilac scattered holo creme. The picture shows it slightly more purple than it is in real life but I could NOT get the color adjusted correctly so you just have to take my word for it! This is 2 coats plus topcoat, the formula is amazing as always.  Extra note-recently PP has been putting these little drawings on some of the bottles, I just think it's so cute! I need them all :)  Spring Chillax is one I've had a while, I know for certain I've used it before, I guess ive just never swatched and blogged about it because it wasn't marked (with my system!) This is 2 coats plu...
