Limited edition 2013 Anna Sui Rose mirror and mini storage box

If you follow my blog then you would notice a few other posts on Anna Sui products.  I absolutely love the pieces she puts out and i especially love the packaging.  They are for the most part black solid, strong plastic pieces with some form of a rose motif.  

Looking through the urban outfitters website one day,  i came across the new for Fall limited edition Rose Mirror and Mini storage box.  You can view the prices here ~~> Anna Sui limited edition

Lip Erase, how to nude out your lip

Lip Erase; a flesh toned balm to neutralize your natural lip color.

I have highly pigmented lips and sometimes I just want to sport a nude lip you know what i mean?! I came across this product one day watching youtube and had to look into it...

Facts:

1.  only two shades available pale and dim.  

2. These are best for light to medium skin tones.

3. can only be purchased in pro stores or online.

4. retails for 20- US dollars.

Opinion:
1.  its pretty drying make sure to moisturize 
2.  exfoliate! exfoliate! otherwise it will look terrible on.  Trust me i have dry lips and learned that right away.
3. its nothing special...If you really want to blank out your lips you can use your foundation.

Ok so here's the skinny on Mac's lip erase... I personally don't feel its a must have.  You will really need to have well moisturized lips otherwise it'll look patchy and streaky.   The idea behind the lip erase is to either wear alone as a nude or to blank out your pigmented lip to help other shades appear  truer to color. The color i bought is Dim

Con:
1.  There are only two shades
2.  it's in a pot many folks have issues with dipping their fingers into a product its not the most sanitary.

Pro:
1.  It's a ton of product 15ML/0.5 FL OZ

Please Note: the first ingredient listed in this product is PETROLATUM (for those of you who would prefer to NOT use products with this)

DIM

i could use a shade darker if there were more than 2 shades

Lush Cosmetics... Rock Your Body

LUSH COSMETICS PRESENTS THE ROCK YOUR BODY  KIT

LIMITED TIME ONLY







Lush is expensive... it is!... I wont lie to you BUT every so often its nice to treat yourself to some yummy smelling goodies.  Till August 29th, 2013 Lush is offering a small introduction kit for 25.95 US dollars + tax.  If you have NEVER tried Lush before but you've always been curious now is a good time to try it.

What's included: 1. a small Dream Cream hand and body lotion.   2. 1 Sugar scrub  3. Your choice of a dusting powder  4. Your choice of either a soap or massage bar ( I guess its depends on where you buy... online it a soap in the store they are offering a massage bar)

Overall its a good buy, a great introduction to the products and actually it would make a really nice gift.  Just remember because the products are for the most part made with natural ingredients they do have an expiration date. 

    

The sugar scrub contains ginger and fennel.  I love these! my favorite scrub was sugar babe but it was discontinued boohoo.  I usually put these in one of the black pots from other products i've used up from Lush and put it in my shower.  It's great to massage into your rough patches like elbows, legs and even your bum. This is sold year round so if you miss the limited edition kit you can still purchase for 6.25- US dollars.

Dream cream is one of their best sellers.  Ive never personally used this one before so I am glad it was included in this kit.  Dream cream contains oat milk, chamomile, olive oil and coco butter... sounds good to me!... the texture is very light, almost watery but it soaked into my skin right away.  Price 26.95- US dollars only large size sold. 

Silky underwear i've used before and i love it! It has coco butter and Jasmine and it feels wonderful when you dust it onto your body.  I don't know about you but i need to use powder otherwise i don't feel fresh... so fresh and so clean clean! Retails for 6.95- US dollars for 2.1oz

Lastly the massage bar i chose was Each Peach.  It's made with avocado, mango, coco and shea butter. Totally smells like pledge but don't take my word for it BECAUSE to me anything that has a citrus, lemony scent to it smells like pledge.  Retails for 10.95- US dollars.

   NEW YORK

Kate Spade just came out with a line inspired by THE BIG APPLE.

I <3 everything kate spade so i made a wish board and got my first item from the list.

follow me on instagram @sugalynnie

The  CAT flats  <~~~~ view them there.  These are absolutely adorable and they were actually pretty affordable considering they're kate spade.  tip join the website to get 15% off  on your first order online or if you are a student you get 15% off with student id in stores.

When i ordered these i thought they were shoes you can wear outside.  I would not suggest that,  view the photo below,  the sole is soft and would not support your feet for outside use.  Treat these like slippers.  They do pinch a tad bit in the back but i'm sure with time that will go away.  I wear an 8 1/2 but i ordered the 9 and they fit fine.

so long until my next post MEOW
