It does swell in water and a bit of product does end up sticking to the soap holder rather than staying on the bar, but that’s OK for me, I have had this before I expect it. It’s not drying (I have normal skin) and it smells great when using it, but the smell does fade quickly and today (after using it yesterday evening) I can’t smell it on me any more. The Rock Star soap bar is also a very sweet-smelling bar, which is easy to lather up and wash with, the only drag with using the soap is that it does kill the bubble bath, but I think that’s universal with soap.
It’s a very sweet rose / parma-violets smell, which I personally love, and the fact that it lasts a good 3-4 baths makes it great value for money for a small luxury treat. If you have ever walked past a Lush store, then this is the smell that I would most closely associate with Lush and emanates from the stores. In the bar form it has a very strong sweet aroma, which will make you bathroom smell lovely even when you’re not using it. PS All Lush items are animal friendly and the items I bought are vegan friendly too.Ĭandy Bubble Bar on the left (6.40CHF) and Rock Star Soap on the right (7.80CHF)The bubble bar is the perfect size for 3 – 4 baths, and you crumble it into running water, it doesn’t dissolve immediately, but if you put it in there when you first start running the bath you will have lots of lovely creamy bubbles by the time it is full. These two beauties cost around 7CHF each – although items from Lush are charged per 100gram, so each item is slightly different in price depending on the size.
MAC PAINT POT LET ME POP DUPE MAC
It’s kind of a pain that the Swiss MAC site does not sell products, so I have to drawl over new collections until the day of release in store, when I can go get my new beauties.īack to Saturday… I headed into Lush and got two bits, a bath bubble bar (#134: Au pays de Candy or Creamy Candy as it’s known in the UK) and a soap in Rock Star. Nothing else can be said, apart from some serious internet time has been dedicated to this minor obsession with all the new collections which have been released this year, as well as trying to get the basics sorted as well. MAC is my go-to brand at the moment, having only gotten into high-end make-up in the last 12 months (I was a late developer, at 30!) and I L-O-V-E it.
Last weekend I headed over to the Balexert Shopping Centre for the first time and was fairly surprised to see a Lush and a MAC counter (in the Globus department store). Anyways, I am going to be adding the purchase price in CHF/Euro/£ (depending on where I buy things), in case it’s useful to anyone (and I will have a reminder of how much things are when I go for repeat purchases).
Mainly this is because the Swiss Franc (CHF) is very strong at the moment due to the world economic crisis. Living in Switzerland the make-up here is massively marked up in price compared to the UK (where I’m from) and elsewhere in Europe. I don't need to apply a lot and it would take a lottt of uses before it was all gone.First blog! Yay! Well where to start… ah yes, most recent purchase is probably the best place. The pot is a good size and the product lasts a long time. It makes my trickier eyeshadows (colourful, bold shades, shades with less pigment etc) a lot easier to work with and look a lot better than if I was using regular concealer or a more thinner base. When eyeshadow is applied straight onto this base, I find it makes them look more pigmented and easier to blend. It's my go to when I go out or want my makeup to look good for a long time. This makes my eyeshadow last all day without creasing or fading or smudging. I just set it with a bit of powder and I'm good to go! I like using it as well when I'm not wearing any eyeshadow for that reason. It has good coverage and covers any veins or redness that I have on my eyes. (I'll usually go over it with a sponge, quickly, to make sure it's all blended).
I use a fluffy concealer brush and it doesn't take me long to buff this out. I don't need to apply a lot and it's super easy to blend out. Soft ochre has warmer undertones and painterly has cooler undertones. I believe they have two shades for eyeshadow bases - painterly and soft ochre. I do think there are dupes for this as an eyeshadow primer for a more affordable price, but this one works the best out of the ones I've tried. I use it as an eyeshadow base and I highly recommend it.
