Lush Twilight Shower Gel Review

This was provided to me by a brand for review but all opinions expressed are my own

Lush Twilight Shower Gel makes a reappearance for Holiday 2012. Yes, it’s back! It was released during an April Showers Party in 2011 but disappeared mighty fast.

But it’s back now and will be the perfect addition to the hot bath I plan on taking when I get home. I have the migraine from hades today and it isn’t going away. My solution for a bad headache? A warm bath with my favorite Lush product. I swear by a Lush bath to chase away migraines and bad headaches. And Twilight is the perfect scent too with a soothing, relaxing, comforting blend of lavender.

My headache thanks you Lush!

Lancome Bordeaux L’Absolu Rouge Holiday 2012 Review & Swatches

This was provided to me by a brand for review but all opinions expressed are my own

Lancome L’Absolut Rouge in Bordeaux premieres in the Lancome Holiday 2012 Makeup Collection. Just when I thought I wasn’t going to find my perfect shade of Holiday red lipstick Lancome gifts it to me in this stunning shade!

Everyone always says that red is easy enough to wear so long as you find the RIGHT shade of it to wear. For years I thought that very untrue. I was terrified of the shade and felt all kinds of clown-y in all the true shades of red I tried. I avoided the color for many, many years but happily embraced it when I discovered that warm shades of red are rather flattering on me.

Bordeaux is one of those easy shades of red that I can embrace. It’s that festive shade of red that puts me in a Holiday mood and completes all my looks for the season.

You NEED it if you love warm shades of red.
