  2. Crabtree & Evelyn La Source Hand Therapy
  3. Diva Manicure Clutch
  4. Sportsgirl Smooth OPerator Lipbalm
  5. Sportsgirl Get Cheeky eye and cheek shimmer
  6. Sportsgirl Give Me Some Lip lipgloss in 16 candles
  7. Sportsgirl You Glow Girl shimmer balls
  8. Diva Bobbie pin tin and clips
  9. Lush Snow Fairy shower gel

Lush

The Snow Fairy Shower gel smeels so good! Think candy gloss and bumblegum! num num num!!! I only bought the smallest size (100g) because Ive had bad experiences with the shower gels from Lush. They dry out my sskin terribly. So fingers crossed this wont!! Ill do a review on it later :)

Cost: $9.50

The main reason I went into Lush was to buy some of their bath bombs, I absolutely love these! Everyone thinks Im pretty immature for being excited about having a pink sparkly bath, but its just so indulgent!!
L to R: Mr Butterball (Vanilla and Musk scented, and leaves skin soft, apparently), Flosty Glitter (My #1 Fav! It smells mainly of Lavender but with a bit of candy tossed in, it makes the bath glitter and adds a light soft pink tone to the bath!), Jingle Spells (apparently this is detoxifying! I might try this as an anti-hang over cure haha)

Cost: $ 5.50 / $7.50 / $ 6.95

Sportsgirl

Below, is the Get Cheeky cheek and Eye shimmer, and I havent used this yet, so I cant really say much! I love items like this because you can swirl a brush across all the colours, or you can use different colours on the eyes to create different looks. Already I can see myself using the bottom(smallest) colour as a high lighter, and I can compare it to MACs Phloof! eyeshadow :)

Cost: $14.95

This is the You Glow Girl Blush Balls, Ive yet to try them so I wont give my opinion on the product. I will however, say that the packaging is cute, and it comes with a sponge, although Ill use a brush to apply it. I got this free when I purchased the Get Cheeky cheek and eye shimmer.

Cost: Free!

Here's a swatch of the Sportsgirl Give Me Some Lip lipgloss in "16 Candles"(top) and its easily to compare it to Dior Addict lipgloss in "Clutch Pink" (bottom)

Cost: $8.95

Before I left the store I noticed a silver bucket on the display table with cute little rectangular palettes!! There were a few to choose from but I chose this one. Its the Animal Instinct Cosmetic Palette, and for under $10 I could not just leave it there! It has 2 lipglosses, 2 eyeshadows, a blush, and a few little brushes for application on the go. I mean under $10, how could you not? Will do a FOTD with this soonish :D

Cost: $9.95



Diva

How gorgeous is this? I love the leopard print coating!! It may just border on tacky though haha but it was under $10 so how could I refuse an accesory as cute as this!!

Cost: $9.99

The inside has a pretty pink lining, and has everything you need to give yourself a mani! minus the nailpolish! Im growing my nails at the moment and am constantly snapping off the ends, and instead of ripping them off with my nails, with this Ill be able to cut them off professionally!!

Also, Ive tried it out, and you can fit eftpos cards and stuff in there!! So you can definitely use it as a card holder :) A very cute, stylish card holder mind you!

I also bought a cute bobby pin tin (ugggh tongue twister much!) The only thing I dont like about it is that the lid isnt attatch, like when you slide it, instead of it stoppingat the end, you can slide it all the way off..

Cost: $4.99

So thats Part 1 of my haul! I dont want to bore you shitless with the other half, so Ill do it tomorrow.


These items would be great as Christmas pressiesn for the girl that has everything!! :)

Ps Any recs for a good eyecream?

Has anyone else tried the Sportsgirl cosmetics?

Or any other beauty products from clothes stores that venture into the world of Beauty?

Love of Loath?

Review: Crab Tree & Evelyn La Source Hand Therapy

Crabtree & Evelyin La Source Hand Therapy Cream is Specially formulated with natural shea butter to soothe and help protect hands.

My Opinion:
Well Ive purchased this about 5 times in the past 18months, so that sorta speaks for itself, right? This hand cream is amazing; Ive tried other hamd creams, but theyre either too sticky, or dont even hydrate my skin. This product leaves my skin feeling silky and smooth, I always get comments on how soft my hands are when using this! Ive tried Avon handcream which is beautiful aswell, but Crabtree & Evelyn is far easier to purchase and it smells alot better, and lasts alot longer!!! I recommend this to anyone who'd like silky soft hads!

The Good:
Easily absorbed
Non-greasy feel
Hydrates beautifully
Smells divine

The Bad:
It doesnt contain a SPF, hand skin is rather delicate and is always exposed to the sun, so having a SPF is rather inportant in a hancream!

Cost:
$24.95

You can purchase Crab Tree & Evelyn products from David Jones, and selected Chemists.
Whats everyones favourite hand cream?
Does anyone have any recs for a handcream with sunscnreen?
