Aggies Do It Better

Hey guys! I'm back with another Lush review....it's official, I'm not going to get through my holiday Lush stuff before Christmas! But that's ok, I guess. It was a self imposed deadline anyway. Today I have the Peeping Santa bubble bar....HOW CUTE IS THIS LITTLE GUY????  I mean, seriously. He has little eyes made of chocolate chips and sandwiched in the middle is shea butter to make your bath moisturizing. I have to say, the bubble bars that have bath melts built into them are by far my favorite so far. Check back tomorrow for more on this mani! :) Peeping Santa has a definite strawberry scent to it. Which isn't my favorite, but my kids love it! I am going to be trying some of these more moisturizing items on my son that has KP,  I think they will help. Look at the pink water! That was a nice surprise. As with every Lush bubble bar I've used so far the amount of bubbles a tiny amount of the bar produces is crazy. Much more bubbles than...

Hello! Can y'all believe Christmas is in one week ?? I never feel ready! Today I have a closer look at the Lush Christmas Penguin bubble bar inspired nail art! If you missed that post check it out  here. Anytime I need a blue I go straight for my OPIs because I have the most of them. OPI No Room for the Blues   was the best match!  I used OPI Tiffany case on my first finger, which is a sparkly blue textured polish, and Where did Suzi's man-go for the orange creme. Zoya Beatrix  is the orange texture.  To make the penguin nail I picked up the whole image and then used scotch tape to remove the part I didn't want. Then I did the same with the second color. I'm still practicing a looooot with my stamping before it actually goes on my nail. Passes the time waiting for it to dry! Here is a look at the  Moyou Enchanted 05 plate , isn't it just gorgeous??? I used the littler snowflake image on the left that matched the border on t...

Hello! Today I have the Lush Christmas Penguin bubble bar! How cute is this little guy?!?!? I swear I saw somewhere that this little guy was inspired by the Little Penguins of Australia, which I have actually seen in person! I can't find that anywhere now :/ but we are just going to go with that! For those that don't know my husband is Australian and I made a trip over there with him before we were even engaged. We went down to Phillip Island with his sister and saw the Little Penguins. It's a whole process of learning about them and then making your way to the beach where they have a little set of bleachers. You sit and freeze your rear off until the sun goes down and then all the Little Penguins come out of the ocean and waddle up the beach with food to feed their babies in the nests in the dunes! You have to be super quiet and photographs are STRICTLY forbidden so you don't scare them. They were the Cutest. Thing. Ever. It was so worth it!!! When I saw this bubbl...

Today I have the follow up with more details about my Snowie inspired nail art, which I posted yesterday, click here  to see if you missed it! First, can we talk about what OPI I Juggle...Men did on my nail? When I applied my topcoat ( I used Seche Vite  here) it totally wrinkled up??? When this happened I all of the sudden remembered reading about this happening to another blogger years ago when this polish came out. I used it on another nail with out topcoat and it did the same thing. Such a bummer, its such a pretty holo topper! The red/orange is OPI My Paprika is Hotter than yours and the blue is OPI Can't Find My Czechbook (which I'm using a lot lately....heck year round!)  what the heck??? For the stamped snowflake like nails I used the Pueen Fairy Tale Lover 01 plate  . I just used a dotting tool for the dots and Lightning bolt nail vinyls for the bolt....It got a little tricky to place the blue shadow for the bolt. I didn't feel like wait...

Hello! Today I have a the Lush Snowie bubble bar, a tribute to David Bowie! This bubble bar is so cute! I'd be lying if I said I didn't buy  it because I knew it would make cute nail art! The scent is light and fresh, and very clean smelling. My internet research says it has the same scent as the Frozen bath bomb, which I haven't tried yet  because I'm afraid of all the glitter! But I probably will at some point. You can see in the short little video how much I cut off for this bath. Just the smallest amount made an enormous amount of bubbles!! There's something about pure white, glistening bubbles :) I'm really impressed with this bubble bar and I think I'll get a lot of uses out of one bar. The scent is mild and clean and would pair well with any other bath bombs. If I have a chance to get some more on sale I definitely would! Here's a better look at the matching mani I did, I'll have a post on that tomorrow! ...

Hello! Back to my Lush reviews as well today! This is the Green bubbleroon, which is a bubble bar similar to the pink Rose Jam one with a creamy moisturizing center. Green is being discontinued, it's already not available on the UK website but it's still on the US app and probably in stores :( so I went ahead and ordered 2 right off the bat, figuring I would like it! On my nails is Zoya Josie (one of my favorite Zoya greens!!)  and Leia (holographic topcoat).  Green smells really really good! The  main notes are Juniperberry, Bergamot and Lime oils, with cocoa butter. It pairs really well with my all time fav Avobath. And it makes the water an awesome shade of blue green...heart eyes! I only use 1/4 of it at a time...you can see in the video below the small portion I used and the huge amount of bubbles it made!  Checkout the video to see the tiny size of product I used and the huge amount of bubbles it made! I'm glad I ordered 2 of these, next t...

Hey guys! Today I have the Lush Sparkly Pumpkin to review. This was part of my first ever Halloween Lush order a few weeks ago. I have lots and lots to say about it, let's dig in! I had a HECK of a time holding this time for a picture. And, really every time I had to move it around here or there. There's so much glitter on it I always got super annoyed!! I think its supposed to have a piece of cinnamon stick in there for a "stem", mine didn't, but it might have fell out during shipment and I didn't see it in the box. First up, I chose Zoya Dhara to match! It's a bright reddish orange pixie dust (texture) with a really strong gold shimmer-it went perfectly! The Halloween designs are made with OPI Black Onyx and my new (purchased also) Pueen Halloween Party 01 stamping plate. I'm still digging in and going right for the stuff I consider slightly advanced, like stamping on texture!  I was really nervous to use Sparkly Pumpki...

Hello! Life sure got busy last week-I decided to do a bunch of batch/bulk cooking so I was in the kitchen all day every day. I have a lot of blogs to catch up on! This bubble bar from Lush is called "Grass". I bought this from the Lush UK website online and since I don't go into the stores that often I'm not sure if you can buy it here in the US or not. It doesn't show up on the Lush USA app. The reason I bought it is because of my love for the Avobath bath bath bomb and new found love of all things grassy and forest scented (excluding the Tramp scent, ew) This was definitely a gamble purchasing this before I smelled it but it was so cute and I knew I could do matching nail art so I took a risk!  Searching for a matching green with subtle shimmer in my drawers I landed on Zoya Meg. I think it matched pretty nicely! And it's my kitty's name :) I made the flowers with Zoya Purity and Wendy. I'm very artistically challenged and even with using jus...

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!

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...
