Fortune Cookie Holiday Release!

Fortune Cookie Soap launched their holiday collections last night! It includes full product lines for all the scents in the box, Zero being the most tempting for me. They have also released Candy Cane Fluff (pink sugar and candy cane) and Tangle in the Tinsel (pink sugar and cola) products, popular from last year. As well as a few other odds and ends (check the new section) that would make the cutest presents!

Take a look before they sell out! =)

Lush Limited Edition Perfumes!

So if you ever wished you could smell like "insert Lush product here" all day long, you should definitely check out the limited edition perfumes they have released! They just came out yesterday and will be around only until they sell out.

$42.95

This one was so tempting for me! I am a bit of a Snow Fairy freak, and the scent takes really well to my skin. If you like Snow Fairy or Candy Mountain, you will probably like this one. It smells a bit like cotton candy, very sweet smell. I really wanted it, but couldn't afford three (it was a stretch for two!). Maybe next year...please be around next year!

$42.95

If you love the Snowcake soap or the smell of marzipan (an almondy cherry smell to me), then you will love this one!

$48.95

I am such a sucker for a good floral scent! If you love the Rose Jam Bubbleroon, Ro's Argan, or Rose Jam shower gel, you will love this! It has a wonderful floral smell with sweetness to keep it from being too powdery and lemon to elevate and round the scent. Couldn't pass this one up!

$39.95

This one would be perfect for most people who love the Ponche shower gel. I adore the shower gel, citrusy with tequila, but I was afraid of how boozy the perfume would be. It is also the first time released fragrance, so I couldn't get anyone's opinion. Maybe another year.

$42.95

My lovely, lovely Calacas. When I had the shower jelly of this last year, I would keep it next to me so I could sniff it throughout the day. This was definitely one I couldn't pass up! It smells like lime candy! If you love Enchanter or Calacas, you will definitely want this perfume.

So excited to get the two I ordered in the mail! So what were the most tempting to you?

BOTW: So White (Lush)

$6.45

So, I just couldn't wait to start The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest! I had a night bath as well...I decided to try So White to see if it was different from last year (I was hoping for more pink/red color in the bath). I also paired it with a Cranberry Apple Zinger; it seemed appropriate in an apple scented bath.

  


Well, it was definitely pinker than last year, but still not very impressive. It also didn't do much for my skin, but it left such an amazing scent in my hair that lingered for hours! I wish I could buy this in a perfume (apparently they have released this in previous perfume releases for the Holidays, I just missed it from previous years).

This book seems to focus more on politics, but still manages to captivate my attention. Excited to read more!

The tea was good, although the cranberry is definitely more prominent and leaves quite a tartness to it.

BOTW: The Christmas Penguin (Lush)


$7.45

Decided to try out the Christmas Penguin (I did cut him in half for this bath, poor thing) to finish off my book! Since it was a morning bath, I paired it with coffee and a clearanced bottle off cinnamon cream, which honestly, I am not too crazy about. It tastes a lot like when I run out of creamer and resort to trying my own concoctions, i.e. milk and cinnamon. Never tasted too exceptional to me, definitely not a repurchase.



Now the Christmas Penguin had a lovely smell that filled the bath, olive oil-ish like Olive Branch. It left a good bit of bubbles and gave the water a light icy blue. If I had used the whole thing, it might have been a darker color, but I would have drowned in bubbles! The bubbles lasted most of the bath. A possible re-buy, but definitely not over my favorite Christmas Eve.

I did finish The Girl Who Played With Fire! It was so amazing! I was on the edge of my seat especially for this last section. I can't wait to start the last book!

Happy bathing!
