I had been meaning to buy this for a while and I just got to using it last week
and can now say that I love it with all of my heart.

In the winter time I get horrible shaving irritation that nothing helps and the lady at Lush
said that this is also a good shaving cream so I tried it.
It's very smooth and smells great obviously, as most Lush products do.
But I noticed that I had no irritation and it calmed the previous irritation that I did have.
After a week of using, my skin is completely back to normal, not just on my legs but my whole body is now super soft from this!

I really recommend it for winter. It is sort of a cold weather scent and it keeps your skin soft :)

Cosmetic Warrior

Let me tell you something about this mask, it is my new holy grail skin product, and I just bought it two days ago! Basically all year long I will have near perfect skin with no breakouts, but the second the weather gets cold my skin goes crazy. I get these little bumps on my forehead that aren't even pimples but just will not go away. Well guess what, I used this last night and when I woke up today EVERY SINGLE bump was gone.

The smell is kind of off putting (eggs and garlic) but it's well worth dealing with it. Put it on for 5-10 minutes and rinse it off and your skin will already look more luminous.

I believe it was around $12 and you have to buy it in the store as it has to be refrigerated.

I'd been looking for a new face mask, and I definitely found my new favorite :)

Finally made it out to the mall to get the MAC products I've been meaning to buy.



Firstly I got the Pressed Blotting Powder in medium dark
(when she told me my shade I laughed because I am pretty pale,
the shades don't match their names)!


Powder Blush in Fleur Power

Mac Russian Red and Myth Lipsticks
Zoom Fast Black Mascara

This was my first major MAC purchase, I only own the harmony blush so I thought I would get some things that have been highly recommended.

I finally got out to the mall today, and boy was that an ordeal! I forgot where I parked and ended up needing a police escort to find my car. Oh well, I got the things I went for and some extra (whoops).
First I went to Lush


I got the Dream Wash Shower Smoothie and Fun Pink. The Dream Wash smells absolutely amazing! I got Fun to use when I watch my little cousin and she takes a bath, but I'll use it for myself as well ;) This is my first time buying Lush products just because it's such a chore to go to the mall and get them, so reviews will certainly follow.


Then I got the Twilight Bath BombCinders Bath Bomb, and the Comforter Bubble Bar. I also got the Cosmetic Warrior mask, but that's in the fridge :)

Any other Lush products I should try? I'm excited to try these.

Autumn Wishlist by theriseandfall featuring weledaMAC Cosmetics  / Chanel  fragrance, $115 / Weleda  / Eye Quartet mineral palette CLARINS, $48 / Benefit Bella Bamba / Jemma Kidd Makeup Dewy Glow Dewy Glow All Over Radiance Creme, Iced…

Getting into the colder months now and I'm in need of some new products. So here's my wishlist for Autumn. This is in no way all of the stuff I want, I just pared it down.

Weleda Pomegranate Creamy Body Wash-$12
Benefit Bella Bamba Blush-$28
MAC Pro Longwear Concealer-$17
Jemma Kidd all over radiance creme (iced gold)- $30
Chanel Chance-$90
Clarins Odyssey Palette (or any other Clarins eye shadow)-$48

What are your wishlist products?
I was really excited to try this because I needed a new lip balm for these colder months, my lips are so chapped already!


First off, it has beautiful packaging so I can put it out on my dresser :) The smell is nice too, not to fruity or anything, just very subtle floral scent, which also tastes great as well. It is VERY moisturizing and I don't find that I have to reapply it all day because it lasts. 


This is a great new addition for winter as well all know we can't stay away from new lip products! 
I got mine at Sephora for $18 and I think it is well worth the price.

Sorry for the crappy cell phone picture! I decided to take a little shopping trip today as I needed some new sweaters. Ventured into the polo section and found some cute stuff.
Blazer-$48
Grey/White striped tunic-$25
White/Blue cardigan-$58
Wallet-$26
Fleece Lined Tights-$15
Heart Sweater-Burlington Coat Factory-$14

I do know that Burlington Coat Factory carries Polo, my local store just doesn't have very good selection so I end up having to pay full price at the retail store :(
