Winter/Holiday Makeup Looks Part 2


There are more holiday looks coming out every day! I really like the looks that people are creating this year. They are not all nude eyes with red lips. There is a variety of looks. I think it is fun to recreate them, and my new fun thing is creating a videos! I'm definitely not a professional or anything! I still have a lot to learn about applying makeup and making videos. But it might be interesting to you to see what I look like when I do these tutorials.

Blogmas Day 24: Christmas Hedgehog

Playmobil Advent Calendar: Santa's Workshop


Finally, we get Santa Clause. I thought he was fatter.

Playmobil Advent Calendar: Christmas in the Park


I think this is really cool. It is a music box! It has a button in the back, and if you push it, it will play several Christmas songs! 

LUSH


The Christmas Hedgehog Bubble Bar: My version is not as cute as the website picture. It smells like shaving cream.

This is what the website says: "Soothing floral friend. If you're feeling a little prickly this festive season, hop in the tub with this indulgent floral bubbler! Made with softening shea and cocoa butters and a seriously relaxing blend of floral essential oils, this adorable hedgehog is sure to melt frosty winter moods. Crumble him under running water and sink into silky waters scented with soothing lavender, rose and ylang ylang oils - the day's troubles will soon seem VERY far away!"

I'm sorry this blogmas wasn't as good as last year's. I haven't really been in the Christmas spirit, but I felt like I made a commitment to do a blog a day, so I made myself do it. 

I hope you have a good Christmastime and a Happy New Year.

Blogmas Day 23: Christmas Penguin

Playmobil Advent Calendar: Santa's Workshop


It is a race car and a package.

Playmobil Advent Calendar: Christmas in the Park


It is Santa Clause!

LUSH


The Christmas Penguin Bubble Bar: I got this last year. I think he is so cute. 

This is what the website says: "Bubbly bath time friend. Isn't he adorable? Inspired by the smallest penguins in the world (found on Philip Island, Australia), we've invented our very own tiny penguin for bubbly bath time fun. Crumble yours under running water to create orange flower and bergamot-scented froth, then sink into the comforting waters and allow the Sicilian mandarin and lemon oils to transport you to a warm, sun-drenched locale. It's the perfect way to relax after a long stressful day!"

Blogmas Day 22: Dashing Santa

Playmobil Advent Calendar: Santa's Workshop


I was really happy to see these little guys today, little animals to go inside this basket.

Playmobil Advent Calendar: Christmas in the Park


This is the same thing that was in the other advent calendar. It goes on the cart in the park. The moon handle is broken, so it doesn't go on.

LUSH


Dashing Santa Bath Bomb: It smells citrusy. This is new for this year.

The website says: "A dash of citrus for the bath. Just as jolly Old St. Nick races around delivering presents to good girls and boys on Christmas Eve, this Dashing Santa Bath Bomb will fly around the tub, dashing to and fro. His golden boots fizz away quickly, releasing an uplifting Satsuma-scented aroma made up of mandarin, bergamot and orange absolute. He also has a bit of a snowflake luster to give your water a beautiful sparkle, giving you a reason to sit back and revel in a long, lingering soak."

Blogmas Day 21: Santa Baby

Playmobil Advent Calendar: Santa's Workshop


That is what the gift looks like before you fold it into a package. You can put the guitar in the hand of a person, so one of the elves is playing the guitar.

Playmobil Advent Calendar: Christmas in the Park


We have more birds for the park.

LUSH



Santa Baby Lip Tint: This is a classic red lipstick. It doesn't feel like a lip balm, which is what I thought it would be. It is a lipstick type texture. You can also use it as a blush.

This is what the website says: "Sweet Christmas kisses. A deep, classic red, this tint provides a colorful moisture boost for the lips. A rich base of Fair Trade shea butter and cocoa butter will soften the lips and keep them hydrated through the chilly winter months, while vitamin-rich carrot oil nourishes and softens. If a super hydrating base and gorgeous color weren't enough, we've also added a sweet cola flavor made up of festive date and cherry extracts! Apply sparingly for a subtle rouge tint, or more generously for a bright crimson pout. Smooth onto lips and make sure your under-the-mistletoe kisses are as sweet as can be!"

Blogmas Day 20: Candy Mountain

Playmobil Advent Calendar: Santa's Workshop


We got a little scooter! I remember when these were so popular when I was a kid.

Playmobil Advent Calendar: Christmas in the Park



I really like the pink and gold of this angel. I don't know why, it just makes me happy.

LUSH


Candy Mountain Bubble Bar: This smells like bubblegum, like the Snow Fairy Shower Gel.

This is what the website says about it: "Vanilla candy with a twist. You're in for a sweet holiday treat with Candy Mountain! With the delicious cotton candy scent of our popular Rock Star soap and a sparkly pink luster, this bubbler will turn bath time into a warm, magical experience. Pink and pearly white, we've mixed in snowflake luster to add a touch of magic glimmer to the water. Crumble running water and watch as a mountain of fragrant vanilla bubbles rise. We think this is one sweet treat you won't soon forget!"

Blogmas Day 19: Christmas Eve Bubble Bar

Playmobil Advent Calendar: Santa's Workshop



I like today's gifts. Tiny things! We have a flashlight, backpack, camera, rubber ducky, and an alarm clock.

Playmobil Advent Calendar: Christmas in the Park




It is a cart. I think it might be missing some pieces. Remember I got this on E-Bay. 

LUSH


Christmas Eve Bubble Bar: I maybe should have waited for Christmas Eve for this, but I don't care. I think last year I got this, and used it on Christmas Eve. I will wait to use it until then.

The website says this about it: "Moonlight soak. Unwind in mounds of soft, frothy bubbles and the heavenly fragrance of ylang ylang and jasmine absolute. Sink into the warm, blue waters, softened with corn flour, Irish moss powder and baking soda. Little ones love this one too; just crumble one in the tub and let the soothing fragrance calm their excitement and send them off to the land of nod. You'll soon find out why Christmas Eve has become a returning favorite since it first launched a few years ago!"

Review: I just now used this! It is April 2015! The bath bomb has lasted this long. You can break it in half and use it for 2 baths. This smells like lavender, and it is so relaxing. It is perfect for a night time bath to help you get sleepy, and soothe any body aches. You break it under the running tap, and lots of bubbles form.

Thursday, December 18, 2014

Blogmas Day 18: Hot Toddy

Playmobil Advent Calendar: Santa's Workshop


It's a wheelbarrow and a bear.

Playmobil Advent Calendar: Christmas in the Park


In the same color blue is a sled.

LUSH


Hot Toddy Shower Gel: This smells really spicy and good for the winter time.

The website says: "All things spice and everything nice. Ruby red and cinnamon scented, our sparkling Hot Toddy shower gel will transport your senses to the warmest reaches of your mind. Come in from the cold and lather up with a fresh ginger infusion and cinnamon leaf oil mix that will keep you cozy on the chilliest days. It'll even leave a delectable, cinnamon-y scent on your skin that's not overpowering - unlike a certain cinnamon-y, heart-shaped candy...any guesses?"

Wednesday, December 17, 2014

Blogmas Day 17: Twilight

Playmobil Advent Calendar: Santa's Workshop


It's another elf.

Playmobil Advent Calendar: Christmas in the Park


We got a lot more birds for the park.

LUSH


Twilight Bath Bomb: I have this in my memory as being my favorite bath bomb. To be honest, I don't remember why.  It looks cool with the stars and moon on it. It smells very herbal/floral. I can pin point what the scent is.

The website says: "Peaceful lavender bathing under the stars. Recreate the magic of a starry night in your bath water with clouds of lavender and tonk a absolute to fight the demons of insomnia and soothe your stressed out body and mind. Our most relaxing Bath Bomb yet, Twilight is our gentle, reassuring hug for the bath to transform you from worn out to warm and fuzzy. It changes color like the sky at dusk, from pinks to purples and darker still. Lay back in the comforting herbal waters to soak your troubles far, far away."

Tuesday, December 16, 2014

Blogmas Day 16: Father Christmas

Playmobil Advent Calendar: Santa's Workshop


I think these are tools for Santa. Maybe that's Santa's man purse.

Playmobil Advent Calendar: Christmas in the Park


The boy has food to feed the birds and squirrels. He also has a scarf and hat.

LUSH


Father Christmas Bath Bomb: I got this last year, and I liked it. It smells like candy.

This is what the website says: "A colorful surprise inside. If Father Christmas is meant to bring good tidings for the season, this jolly Bath Bomb is the perfect place to start. Pop him into the bath and watch him fizz away and turn the water from a bright red to a vivid green. It's Christmas for the bath! Lie back and savor the moment away from the hustle and bustle of the holidays as Father Christmas' sweet, Snow Fairy scent lifts your spirits and gets you prepared for anything."

Monday, December 15, 2014

Blogmas Day 15: So White Shower Gel

Playmobil Advent Calendar: Santa's Workshop



I had to put the work bench together, and there is a little radio.

Playmobil Advent Calendar: Christmas in the Park




It's a little boy for the park.

LUSH


So White Shower Gel: They made this shower gel because the So White Bath Bomb was so popular. It smells like apples! I love it. Now I have a bunch of shower gels to choose from.

This is what the website says about it, "Crisp and refreshing. So White Bath Bomb has been a LUSH Christmas favorite for years, and this holiday we've invented a gorgeous shower gel that shares its mouthwatering apple perfume! With fresh, gently cleansing apple infusion, soothing rose water and uplifting bergamot oil, a shower with So White will most certainly leave you feeling as fair as can be. We've added a touch of nourishing rice bran oil and tincture of benzoin to soften and calm the skin through the chilly winter months, and its freshly apple perfume will stay with you all day long."

Sunday, December 14, 2014

Blogmas Day 14: So White

Playmobil Advent Calendar: Santa's Workshop



Today we got two paddles, toy seal, and two presents. The presents had to be folded together.

Playmobil Advent Calendar: Christmas in the Park


Another squirrel for the park.

LUSH


So White Bath Bomb: I got this last year. It smells like apple cinnamon. I love that smell! 

Here is what the website says: "The fairest apple of them all! A LUSH Christmas favorite, So White is back this year to bring the crisp, fresh aroma of a juicy apple to your tub. Pop it in the bath and watch it fizz, releasing softening baking soda and the uplifting oils of bergamot and neroli. The white exterior slowly gives way to a secret pink center that fizzes and foams, creating a snow-like froth to cover your tub in a glorious blanket of apple-scented snowy bubbles. If you're feeling like a bit of fun, try making snow angels in the fragrant froth!"

Saturday, December 13, 2014

Blogmas Day 13: Herbalism

Playmobil Advent Calendar: Santa's Workshop



It's an angel! The wings and the halo had to be put on. I think it is a cute idea that an angel would be in Santa's workshop.

Playmobil Advent Calendar: Christmas in the Park


It's a little squirrel with some snow. So you can put the snow on a tree branch and the squirrel can be put on the snow.

LUSH


Herbalism: I got this as a sample with my Lush order. I don't know what it is yet. It looks like a bunch of green goo. It smells like mustard.

This is what the website says: "Herbal cleanser for troubled skin. Battling with oily, blemish-prone skin? Cleanse with Herbalism and experience the power of herbs. Its gently exfoliating, deep-cleansing base of kaolin clay and rice bran mops up excess oils, and a toning blend of rosemary, nettle and chamomile leaves skin feeling fresh, clean and calm. This gentle green giant contains chlorophyllin, which is extracted from alfalfa plants: it's rich in nourishing vitamins and minerals, and helps to balance out your skin's oil production. Say hello to clear, balanced skin!"

I don't have this kind of skin, so I'm not going to use it.

Friday, December 12, 2014

Blogmas Day 12: Luxury Lush Pud

Playmobil Advent Calendar: Santa's Workshop



I got a memory game! It is a little deck of cards with play mobile people on it. I think I will give this to my little cousin as part of his Christmas present.

Playmobil Advent Calendar: Christmas in the Park




It's more of the tree! This sticks onto the base of the tree in the park. You can attach snow and birds to the branches!

LUSH


Luxury Lush Pud Bath Bomb: This is a very colorful bath bomb. It has what looks like holly on the top and colors all around it. It has a strong, spicy scent that I can't name or describe. It smells like Christmas to me. I'm going to wait to take a bath 'til I want to, and then I will come back and write what it was like. I don't need to take a bath every single day up until Christmas.

This is what the website says about it: "Drop this luxuriously relaxing bomb in the tub and watch as a kaleidoscope of colored polka dots float to the surface making pastel islands in the water. Then you'll inhale the magnificent aroma of lavender oil, sweet benzoin and comforting tonka absolute... You may recognize the scent from out best-selling year-round Bath Bomb, Twilight. Sink in for a fluffy, frothy end-of-day soak that will release your worries and set the stage for a restful slumber."

Winter/Holiday Makeup Looks


Here are some looks I found and recreated using my own makeup. If I write about it, that means I liked the look. I just combined winter with holiday because they go together. Usually, the holiday looks are a little more glamorous, so you might not want to wear it for the day time. It might be better for a holiday party at night. I'm going to try to wear it in the day.

I have just started making my own Youtube videos! They are inspired by the makeup looks I like. Here are some I have made that go along with some of these looks.

Blogmas Day 11: Cinders

Playmobil Advent Calendar: Santa's Workshop


Isn't this bike, so cute?! It had little parts that I had to put together. The steering wheel turns the wheel, even!

Playmobil Advent Calendar: Christmas in the Park


Here are more birds for the park. The white parts go on the tree and the bench. You can put the birds on the snow too!

LUSH


Cinders Bath Bomb: I have gotten this bomb before. It has little orange pop candies that are supposed to crackle like a fire in the bath, but I can't hear it. I remember when I first got it I was expecting a loud crackling fire, but that didn't happen. It smells like cinnamon.

Here is what the website says about it: "Warming cinnamon crackled. Heat up your holidays with this sweet and spicy bomb inspired by fireside gatherings with family and friends. We combine crackling vegan candies with stimulating cinnamon leaf oil to recreate the warmth of the hearth. This spicy soak also has hydrating almond oil to keep your skin super soft and smooth - and with a bathtub fizzed so inviting, you can go ahead and skip the open fire and curl up with Cinders instead."

Blogmas Day 10: Shoot for the Stars

Playmobil Advent Calendar: Santa's Workshop


I think I figured out what these things are supposed to be. They are lanterns because it looks like there is a little candle in the star and tree. They fit into the holes of the thing that I got yesterday.

Playmobil Advent Calendar: Christmas in the Park


This is a cute little bench to go in the park.

LUSH


Shoot for the Stars Bath Bomb: This has a shooting star on it. I remember getting this last year, and it is like Van Gogh's Starry Night for your bath! It is beautiful.

This is what the website says: "Enchanting toffee bomb. Paint the swirling colors of the night sky in your tub with this multicolored Bath Bomb. Drop it in your bath and watch as it shoots every which way, releasing multiple colors before leaving behind a blazing trail of silver luster. As the spinning and swirling orb comes to a standstill, enjoy the same sweet, honey-toffee scent as Honey I Washed The Kids soap, and the calming shimmering midnight-blue water. A truly magnificent bomb to behold."
