If you don't know me, you wouldn't know that I could spend hours in the tub relaxing in the evenings. A couple of years ago, while I was having some long term side effects from treatment, my friends gave me a gift box from Lush Cosmetics. I had heard of Lush before but never tried it until then. I was hooked. The bath bombs were amazingly scented and the bubble bath lasted for hours. Ever since then, I have been looking for other bath products as I would like to support smaller businesses as well.  I was given the chance to review the bath bomb gift set and I was pleasantly surprised!
 
Now before I begin, I must say; I am biased because of my obsession for Lush. So that said, if you have never used Lush, you would love these bombs a lot more than I initially did. The downfall to the gift set was that one of the bombs (the rose bomb) had come out of the plastic so parts of it had the powder everywhere and was kind of messy to take out. I tried the rose one first because there is a Rose Queen bomb from Lush that I love and adore. It was the same concept so I gave it a try. The scent wasn't over powering. It was just a light perfume scent that smelled like rose. I hopped in the tub and gave it a try. It does hold true about the lasting 5 minutes for fizzing. The rose petals come out just as they do and they float around in the tub with you. It's very relaxing.  
 
 
The fizz ended and I was left with a slight pink water full of roses. I didn't get as nice as a scent as I was hoping for, but I know that was because of my bias from Rose Queen. That's why I say if you haven't used Lush, these would be great for you! The other 2 bombs were just as great as this one and I actually preferred the Sex bomb scent better. It lasted longer and was just really calming before bed. The lavender bomb was nice as well but I'm not a big lavender fan so it's not my favorite one of them.
 
So, that said... I do enjoy these bombs. The size is great and the scents are pretty strong. I do prefer Lush better only because of the other scents and a little longer lasting in the tub. But I do highly recommend these for anyone who wants to enjoy their bath time. Go and order them so you can see for yourself. You won't be disappointed in this cute gift set!

Felted Soap & Shampoo 101



For anyone who knows me, you know that I have a slight, mild, small, addiction to Lush Cosmetics. Once my friends got me hooked on the bath bombs and soaps, I've branched out to shampoos, bubble bars, bubbleroons, body washes, face masks, etc. There really is not a product I do not like. So the problem with liking a semi expensive store like Lush is that most of it won't last long because it's that awesome. The bombs, for the most part, are one time uses. Shampoos and soaps you can get to last for quite a while but you then need to buy the tin for the shampoos because of them kind of falling apart on you. It's a predicament because you want to use it but you are afraid of using it to quickly...
 
Since I am a knitter, I have come up with the perfect solution: felted shampoos and soaps!
 
 
What is Felted Soap?
Felted Soap is a bar of real soap, with wool felted over the surface. The process of ‘felting’ makes the wool adhere and mat together so it forms a solid coat over the soap.

Why Use Felted Soap?
First and foremost, using Felted Soap is good, clean, fun. The soap suds come through the wool. The wool will help to exfoliate your skin, so there is no need for an extra washcloth or loofah. The wool makes the soap less slippery. Felted soap has a much longer life span than your typical bar of soap. Even if the soap crumbles, it is held together by the felt and you can use it until it is gone! It also is a lot easier to hold than a slippery bar of soap, so it's great for kids & adults! It also makes great gifts for friends and family! It's even better for Lush solid shampoos as you no longer have the need for the tin to hold your soap, it doesn't fall apart, and it lathers so much easier and more than just putting it in your hand or hair.

 
 
How Do You Felt Soap & Shampoo?
It's a relatively easy process. I use 100% alpaca or 100% wool for my soaps and shampoos. You take the fleece or yarn in this case and submerge it in as hot as water as you can handle. Then you pat and rub, pat & rub, pat & rub. After a short time, the fleece will start matting together and form a layer of fleece around the soap. Continue to rub making sure that the fleece doesn't rub off the soap. Otherwise, you'll have to start over. Once your soap has matted and joined in the round, you let it dry. Over time, the soap will continue to felt every time you use it. 

 
 
What Happens When I Run Out?Once you run out of soap or shampoo, you can slit a hole into the fleece and make something out of it. They make great satchets for perfume for your sock drawers, coin purses for little girls, or just turn them into sponges. Or add more soap to them! There ideas are limitless!

 
So far I have used Karma Komba, Trichomania, Brazilliant, and Ultimate Shine but only because I am on a limited budget when buying Lush! Like I said, it can be an expensive addiction.
 
As far as soaps go, I have used MANY! Sexy Peel, Miranda, Bohemian... Everything you see in the tin has already been felted and I am loving the outcome every time I jump in the shower or tub. I've also used a variety of other soaps that I have already gone through so these are just a few!
 
 
If you are interested in a How-To Video on felting soap and shampoo, comment below! If I have enough comments, I will make a video and share with you on how to felt your own soaps! Of course, you can also check out my FACEBOOK page that has everything I make and my prices. Prices vary depending on how much the soap costs and the size (as you know soap is priced by weight)

Argan Oil Hair Mask Review

 
Our Argan Oil Hair Mask is a deep conditioning treatment designed to transform dry and damaged strands into soft, shiny, healthy hair. Its restorative ingredients - such as Argan Oil, Japanese Green Tea, Amino Acid Complex, Coconut Oil, Shea Butter, Jojoba Oil, Avocado Oil & Vitamin B5 - work together to penetrate hair deep down and deliver ultimate nourishment and hydration to enhance texture and shine. This intensive blend full of organic ingredients also serves to strengthen hair to defend against heat damage and other external aggressors.

Key Active Ingredients:
+ Argan Oil
+ Amino Acid Complex
+ Coconut Oil
+ Shea Butter
+ Vitamin B5
 
I have never tried Argan Oil before in anything but I was really intrigued when I saw this hair mask. I have seen hair masks before in my favorite store, Lush Cosmetics, but I have never spent the money on it. I jumped on the chance to try this and I am glad I did. The directions say that you can use it after you shower on clean hair, or you can use it as a daily hair conditioner. I didn't really want to have to take a shower and then put it in my wet hair and then rinse it out again so I decided to try it as a conditioner and I am glad I did. After filling the tub, throwing in a bath bomb and putting on my face mask, I applied the hair mask to my hair and relaxed for 15 minutes allowing it to sit on my hair. Time to rinse and see the results. The first time I used it, I blow dried my hair afterwards and the results were wonderful. My hair was silky, smooth and shiny! The next time I used it I didn't blow dry my hair and wanted to see the results. They were the same. Once my hair dried it was soft and shiny. I was very thrilled about it. I highly recommend this to anyone who is looking to boost the look of their hair. It smells amazing, it's not too thick and it doesn't make your hair greasy or oily. I will continue using this because I can tell you over and over how amazing it is.


I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.
