"Cosmetics, much like people, make their first impressions in many different ways. Some products have beautiful fragrances, eye-catching designs or vivid colours, others get noticed through well-thought out packaging, celebrity endorsements and word of mouth." Credit to Jen's blog "All Things Lush"
This product has more than one thing going for it. It''s an adorable bunny with the shared fragrance of Rockstar Soap (vanilla candy) that permeates whichever room it's in, and has the Lush name behind it. Lush brought out the "Bunny Bubble Bar" for it's Easter line (no longer available, sorry). It took me so long to finally get to trying it, so I can only just now post this review.
Bubble bars are to add scented bubbles to your bath. This bubble bar is unique in that it has a bath melt in the middle of it, an essential oil packed melt to make your bath moisturizing. Since only it's outer layer is bubble bar, using half of it is probably the best for getting an actual bubble bath.
The pink layer inside turns your bath pink and is filled with blue cornflower petals.Blue cornflower petals are used as an astringent, so it's calming for your skin.
I'd say the smell and cuteness is enough to sell me. It's a reoccurring product for Lush's Easter Range, so it'll most likely come back again next year. The Comforter bubble bar is a comparable option for all year round. Lushies have found a billion ways to use bubble bars. I usually like to split mine into thirds,then I them in the toes from a pair of old nylon stockings to get rid of fall out and hang them under the tap.

Review: Urban Decay Eyeshadow-Mary Jane
When I look into rating an eye shadow, the main thing I consider would be how user friendly it is. If I can't use it with ease, it's not likely to pass my test. Urban Decay eye shadows are preeetty high end. $18 per pot gives me high expectations. This beautiful sparkly, gunmetal shadow, with an undertone of blue, has me split down the middle.
Along with the Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer , or any primer, this shadow is unbreakable. It most likely will outlast the rest of your makeup. All Urban Decay shadows have superior pigmentation (when used with a wet brush, the pigmentation is intensified and the glitter turns the shadow metallic). That's a 50/50 quality. The sparkles tend to create an incredible amount of fallout that brings the pigmentation with it. Then you're stuck with dark blueish shadow under your eyes that makes you look sickly. If you work at it for a little, it'll blend away. This product blends flawlessly by the way.
The color is almost worth the having to manipulate the shadow. I would say that for the entire line of shadows though. The justification is all up to you.

Lush's Pink Bath Ballistic
Lush has a huge fan base all over the world. I'm definitely a lushie. My local store is small but JAMMED packed with products. Everything to pamper yourself with. I love what they stand for as well. They are against animal testing and unfair trade. They only use prime quality, natural ingredients.
Out of all the bath bombs I picked up two of these because of the scent. Because of their use of natural ingredients, their products tend to smell earthy and floral which isn't exactly down my alley, but the Pink bath bomb is a sweet and clean (my boyfriend says it's reminiscent of laundry detergent) scent. The scent once it hits the bath is more complex. It's deeper on the vanilla side. To me it smells like Lush's 'Rockstar' soap!
It's one of the smaller bath bombs, like their infamous 'Butterball', but only using half in one bath is enough. Pink is a fizzy bath bomb, not frothing. It's pink all the way through with visible coco butter running through it making it more than moisturizing.
Lush says "Fill your bathtub with warm water, drop in the Bath Bomb and lay back to enjoy its lovely color and gorgeous fragrance". Go pick up one and do it!

Hand Food:Soap & Glory!
Every single beauty vlogger on the entire planet owns this pink tube of miracle product.
Soap and Glory is a semi-recent addition as a brand to Sephora. and an all around great brand. "Hand Food" is probably their best selling item. I went through the travel size in a month if that tells you anything. Advertised as a "non-greasy" hand cream, it's kind of EXACTLY that. It doesn't leave any sign or resi that you used anything except feeling moisturized and a scent.
What intrigued me to pick it up was Missglamorazzi on Youtube, or Ingrid, saying that the scent was incredibly sweet and luxurious. She said it was exactly like the Coco Mademoiselle perfume by Chanel. I didn't own Coco Mademoiselle until after I had Hand Food and the connection was instant. If you have the perfume, you know that it's a more so woodsy scent and not very sweet. As a teenager, it was kind of a bitter sweet aquired taste. Now that I'm used to it, I crave it.
Priced at $5 for 3 oz is reasonable and well worth it.
