I Love Lush

I love Lush! Nothing is tested on animals and all of their products are natural, they smell amazing and I've only found a couple of products that I dislike out of a million I have tried! I needed to buy something for Mother's Day so I decided to get myself a couple of things too!

 
My Mum mentioned she wanted to try this so I got a tub for her for Mother's Day. I have some in my shower and it's so lovely and moisturising but very oily. Best to use at night so it sinks in.

Cupcake! This is a new one for me, I've heard it's really good and I have been a bit pimply lately so I am hoping this helps. Smells chocolatey!
 Another new one for me! Tea Tree Water. I am hoping this helps with my breakouts.
 Mint Julips. I've tried Lush's Popcorn lip scrub but it was so gross...this one though is heavenly and I don't think I will ever try another one from them!
One of my top 5 Lush products - Honey I Washed the Kids. Oh my goodness, it smells AMAZING...please note it does not taste amazing. (Um, I heard that from a friend...yes...a friend)
I really love Lush!!!

Native Box January 2013

Native Box is a monthly subscription box that sends you eco-friendly and sustainable products every month for only $15. They are only a new company and I really love it! I have looked forward to every box and they haven't disappointed me yet! They favour Australian owned and made products and everything is cruelty free.

Here is what I received in the January box: 

The box you receive is simple but is still really nice! And most important, recyclable! 
The first item is Method biodegradable wipes. I was pretty excited to see these to be honest! I can't wait to try them out. They smell nice, clean and not chemically like other brands.
The next item is Venusian face cream by Essenza Pura. It states that it is a day/night cream, however it is so lovely and thick that I think it will work best for me as a night cream. It has a really subtle scent to it and it is really nice. 
Also included is some Morlife alkalsing greens which to be honest means nothin' to me! However reading a bit about it on the sheet included, it says that it is a blend of nutrient dense green super foods and you can add it to juice, smoothies, dips etc to get a boost of nutrients!
This was a nice addition, I have an eco-friendly toothbrush and I don't like it so much as it's bulky so I am hoping that when I recycle that one (tip: start a new toothbrush at the beginning of a new season) and start this one that it is better! This one is available at Go Green At Home
.
Mmm Kangaroo Valley hand made fudge that is gelatine free! I am not too keen on the flavour but it wsa melt in your mouth and had a lovely texture so I plan on purchasing some more flavours for sure.
Sanctum organic body soothe. This is a really light lotion that sinks in nicely. It also has a subtle scent to it, kind of lemony! 
Renewable and compostable bin bag! From Environmental Enterprises
Rainforest Rejuvenation body scrub. This smells so GOOD.  
And finally, a bonus item - Madura peppermint tea. Tea is the best.

All in all, a really impressive box. Nine products! NINE! And every item is vegan except for the fudge! 

I highly recommend Native Box! Here is where you can get more info:

Here are a few of my favourite things that I have found this week!

$18 CAD
$24.99 USD
This is amazeballs! So cute!
$29 USD
Holy moly...this is amazing. I am definitely getting one for winter!
Steering away from cat related items, these are Funko Pop Vinyl figures and they are just adorable. I purchased the Daryl figure from ebay (zeezeeandco) and the Rick one from Popcultcha.
Both of these were $15 AUD. I may or may not have also got a Princess Leia one from ebay...I will take some pictures and blog them when I receive them all!
Also from Popcultcha I ordered these Adventure Time headphones! Ah! Aren't they just the cutest?! 
$39.99 AUD
A fashon favourite is this dress from Domino Dollhouse. It's already sold out! Totally bummed.
One beauty favourite this week is this 2 Second Nail Primer by Deborah Lippmann which I got online from BeautyBay. It doesn't appear to be in stock anymore, however it cost me  £8.93 which is roughly $14AUD. It's very good! I may do a little review next week!

That's it for all my favourite products, just a quick note for my favourite song of the week which is: 
By Starlight by The Smashing Pumpkins.
I have been listening to this a lot this week!
Have a great day!

Bellabox August 2012

I love beauty sample boxes, and I also enjoy looking at boxes other people have received so I thought it would be cool to put up monthly posts on the boxes I receive (Bellabox and Lust Have It)
In this month's box :

Lush Ro's Argan Body Conditioner - Full size price $29.95 (I bought a full size of this a week before the box arrived! It's very good. I may do a review at some point!) 

Aveeno Daily Moisturising Lotion - Full size price $8.49 (on sale at Priceline) 
Aveeno status - owned by Johnson & Johnson who DO TEST on animals
Seeing as how this is tested on animals, I will probably be giving this to my Mum or a friend! 

EmerginC Skincare  - Full size prices Cleanser $44 and Phytocell cream $105
EmerginC status - DO NOT test on animals
I will try these out, but they are very expensive so I doubt I would buy full size products.

Aurora Spa Rituals Shampoo & Conditioner  - Full size prices $40 each
Aurora Spa Rituals status - DO NOT test on animals 
I am going to put these in my shower today to test! They smell good.

Phytocare Daily C - Full size price $17.40 for 30 sachets 
I will definitely be drinking these as I am in need of a vitamin boost!
Phytocare status - DO NOT test on animals (they also make cosmetics) 

Luk Beautifood Lip Nourish in lemon and mint  - Full size price $24.95
Luk Beautifood status - I asked on facebook and they DO NOT test on animals. I REALLY like this. It looks a bit dark in the tube but it's not dark on. It's very creamy and the colour actually suits me! Totally putting this in my handbag.

So I am pretty happy with this month's box! I think I prefer Bellabox to Lust Have It. 

I hope all the links and info on animal testing help!
