Easter Decorations!

This year I have been really into decorating. I'm not sure why, but whenever a holiday comes around I feel the need to celebrate. These are some of the things I did. It was very easy for a beginner to do. I found the window stickers at Rite Aid.

I found this at Target. They are paper Easter eggs on a ribbon.

I found the cutest Easter Tree at Target! It is made of felt. I bought felt eggs to hang on it and they had wooden forest animals to go on it too! On Valentine's Day I got a felt heart tree from Target that reminds me of this tree.

More window stickers from Rite Aid. They had so many cute stickers, I didn't know which ones to get, so I bought three different sets.

Isn't this cute?! My aunt gave me this one Easter. It is so detailed!

I almost forgot! I found this felt wreath at Target, too. I hanged it outside my bedroom door.

It might be a little too early to start decorating for Easter, but I wanted to get this up so if you saw anything you wanted you still had time to go to Rite Aid or Target to get it. (That's why I put my Lush Easter haul up early too.)

Lush Easter Haul with Reviews!

I got really excited when I saw that Lush were bringing out Easter and Mother's Day products in the UK. I couldn't wait for it to be released in the U.S. Mother's Day is celebrated in March in the U.K. I think we celebrate it in May, so they haven't put those products on their website yet. Even though I'm not a mother, I plan on doing a Mother's Day haul, too! The products are so cute! And they feel so good for the skin. I have 10 products total (if you count when I break some of them to find the surprise inside). I'm going to do an Easter countdown for 10 days with these products, like I did at Christmas time. I will update this blog with my reviews, and the pictures of what is inside some of these eggs!

1. Lush The Immaculate Eggception (pink): This is the same egg, just different sides of it. Inside of it is either a miniature bunny or chick bath bomb! So you break this open and you have 3 bath bombs total. The bath bombs bubble and sizzle. They turn your bath water a certain color. Sometimes there are glitter or petals inside of them. This is what the website says about this bath bomb, "Inside each giant fizzy egg is a secret surprise. What is it? You'll just have to crack the Bath Bomb shell to find out. Get a hold of your egg, line up the seam with the edge of a hard surface and give it one good WHACK! Once it's cracked, you can drop half the shell in your tub for an energizing ylang yang, grapefruit and vanilla bath. Save the other half and the mysterious treat inside for two more luxurious soaks.

Review: Inside the pink egg was a baby chick! Isn't that cute?! So now I have 3 bath bombs! I'm going to take a bath with the chick first. The chick turned the bath water pink. It smells so good. The little orange triangle it is holding smells like grapefruit. It was a nice relaxing bath.

The other parts of the egg as expected turned the bath water pink. The side with the yellow, made a yellow cloud.

This is my favorite thing I got from Lush! I'm glad I got two of them! I really recommend it. It smells like sweet candy.

2. Lush The Immaculate Eggception (yellow): I wanted to get another one because I thought maybe there would be something different inside of it. When I'm ready to take a bath, I will break it open and take a picture of what was inside.

When you crack it open this is what is inside:

A bunny! And the nose is a piece of something that smells like pure grapefruit! The chick has something similar. I love these bath bombs because they are the best bang for the buck. You get three baths out of one egg. I also like finding the surprise on the inside.

Review: The little bunny didn't do anything in the bathtub. It smelled good, but it didn't turn the water any color or make bubbles. This wasn't a very good bath bomb.

The other part of the bath bomb was yellow and it worked like a normal bath bomb. It turned the bath water yellow and it smelled like candy. It smells like vanilla.

3. Lush Golden Egg Bath Bomb: This is what the website says, "Your Easter egg hunt stops here! This spectacular new invention has combined a Bath Bomb and a Luxury Bath Melt to create (drumroll please…) the Bath Bomb Melt! The creamy, moisturizing cocoa butter exterior encases a fizzy Bath Bomb center, and the whole egg is dusted in a delicate golden luster. Even better? This new invention has the classic honey-toffee fragrance of our best-selling Honey I Washed The Kids soap. Wherever your Easter egg hunt begins, make sure it finishes with a Golden Egg bath!" This does smell like honey-toffee!

Review: It turns the bath yellow and gold glitter. It makes the skin so soft.

4. Lush Fluffy Egg Bath Bomb: This is the same egg, just different sides of it. This is what the website says about it, "The original Easter egg-shaped Bath Bomb, Fluffy egg is a classic customer favorite that we bring back each Easter for its masses of incredibly loyal fans. While we love the cheery pink color, it's the intoxicating candy-sweet aroma that will really draw you in to its fluffy ways! Pop this one into the tub to sink into softening, brilliantly pink water, and you'll be left smelling like scrumptious vanilla-cotton candy. Delicious!" I got the Christmas Lush products and the Valentine's Day ones, and my favorite products were the bath bombs.

Review: It does smell like candy. I can't put my finger on which one. It turns the bath water bright pink.

5. Lush Bunny Bubble Bar: Isn't this so cute?! This is what the website says, "Hop in the tub with this adorable bubbly bunny for silky, sweet waters and lots of fluffy foam! We've added loads of coconut oil and shea butter to soften and moisturize the skin, and the sweet, comforting fragrance of Fair Trade vanilla absolute to calm the mind. Tiny blue cornflower petals are at the center of this Bunny's tummy and will swirl about in the tub for the ultimate springtime bathing experience. This little love is big enough for two baths, so hop to it!" This is how to use: "Crumble under running water as you fill the tub. The stronger your water pressure, the more bubbles you will make; we encourage experimentation for best results. To get the most out of your bubble bars, keep them in a cool, dry place."

Review: I crumbled it under the running water and it was bubbly. It turns the bath water a purple/pink color. It didn't look like cute blue cornflower petals, but little gross weeds! I didn't like that part. I wouldn't get this again, although it is cute.

6. Sexy Peel: I got this as a sample. This is a soap. "Freshly squeezed citrus juices clean the skin and get you smiling." I think I will use this whenever I take a bath.

Review: It smells like a sweet lemon.

I hope you enjoyed my Lush haul! About 9 days before Easter I will start reviewing these products.

March Favorites!

Hi everyone! I hope you had a great month! I'm happy to be on Spring Break and looking forward to celebrating Easter. I love to see the flowers blooming everywhere. This is a tree in my front lawn.

I don't know the name of these kinds of trees. I just call them "Rose Trees." They remind me of the story in Alice in Wonderland where they paint the roses red for the Queen. I love them.

I have a favorite movie of the month. This movie came out on DVD. I have seen it three times now. I saw the live show once with my aunt. It's my favorite musical and one of my favorite movies of all time. It's Les Miserables.

1. I started a new book trilogy this month called, "Delirium" by Lauren Oliver.

This takes place in Portland, Maine, USA. It's a dystopian society. People believe that all the sicknesses in the world are because of the human ability to love. So when people turn 18 they have an operation in their brain to get rid of the capacity to love! So of course the main character is a girl who is 17 and can't wait to have the procedure done, but she ends up falling in love! This in the first book in a trilogy. I really liked this book. It had a sad part though. I like how the author described the main character falling in love. After I finished reading this, I ran out to the bookstore to get the next two books. The third book has just hit the bookstores.

2. I quickly read the second book, and I loved it as well! It is called, "Pandemonium."

It was a real page turner. It was very exciting. I don't know how to talk about this book without giving anything away about the first book. Just know this book is more thrilling than the first book. There are a lot of new characters. I'm anxious to read the third book because of the cliff hanger of how this book ended. It is very shocking.

3. Essence Nude Glam Nail Polish in 08 Peach & Cream with Essence Colour & Go Nail Polish in 103 Space Queen on top

It's hard to see in the photograph, but this is just a light peach color. It's really pretty. A pastel peach, with a glitter that goes with it. It's pretty fool proof.

4. Essie Nail Lacquer in Mint Candy Apple

I couldn't take a picture of this without being blurry. I don't know why my camera was doing that. I really love this color! I got a lot of compliments too! Someone told me they were reminded of a robin's egg blue. It seemed to cheer people up when they looked at it. I heard about this color a lot when I watched Youtube videos. I think it used to be limited edition, but now it is part of Essie's permanent collection! It's one of my favorite colors.

5. Urban Decay Deluxe Shadow Box

I love this palette! I got it off of Hautelook. I did a blog post about it. It has the prettiest colors. I don't have anything in my collection like it. The colors are so vibrant and long lasting. It's just really good quality. I'm really impressed. It's my first time getting anything by Urban Decay other than the eye primer.

5. Garnier Fructis Fortifying Conditioner in Fall Fight

I think every month I have a different shampoo and conditioner for a favorite. I'm just always trying something new. I wanted to use something by Garnier Fructis and I had this lying around. This is supposed to help your hair from falling out. My hair still falls out. But hopefully it doesn't fall out as much as when I don't use this. It smells like apples. It smells really good. And it makes my hair feel good. It's just an ok favorite for the month.

6. Garnier Fructis Fortifying Shampoo in Pure Clean

I heard missglamorazzi talk about how she uses a clarifying shampoo once a week to clean her hair really good from all the build up. She says she uses this. So I decided to get this and use it once a week. But I liked it so much, I used it every time I washed my hair! No where does it say you should use it only once a week. It leaves my hair feeling nice and clean. I love it! It's also supposed to be good for the environment.

7. Olay Moisturizing Body Wash in Silk Whimsy

I wanted to get a different body wash because I was getting tired of the smells of the ones I had been using. This one smells so good. It is light and I don't know if it is fruit or roses, but whatever it is, it is pleasant. It is moisturizing too. My other body wash at first I thought smelled good, but my mom smelled it and she didn't like it. Once she said that, all of a sudden it didn't smell very good to me. I hate how my opinion can be so wishy-washy like that!

8. Revlon Colorburst Lip Gloss in Bellini

This is a pale coral pink shade infused with hints of coral and a slight shimmer. It is beautiful. It is nice for spring time. It's also a good quality lip gloss.

9. Maybelline Color Tattoo in Barely Beige

This is supposedly a dupe for MAC's Paint Pot in Bare Study. It is a light shimmery nude. You can wear it under shadows as a base. I like to wear primers under them first because I have really oily eye lids.

10. Wet 'n Wild Fergie Center Stage Collection Rose Champagne Glow Shimmer Palette

I love this because it is a champagne highlight. You get a lot of product. It is inexpensive. I don't know if it is still available or if it was limited edition. I'm glad I picked it up. People compared it to a MAC MSF! Wet 'n Wild come out with some amazing products!

I hope you enjoyed seeing my favorites! What were your favorites of the month? Take care!
